Educational.

Take the children to the circus
Cause 1t helps improve the mind.
Let EN- see the wondrous creatures
That in picture books they find.
Let 'em hear h horrid s%Quealing
OF the leathery elephants.
Let EN- gaze upon the features
OF the bear that feeds on ants.
Take the children to the circus.
Let them see the big trapeze.
Where young men In spangled splendor
Jigaree with greatest ease,
Swinging by a bent knees favor,
Clinging by a careless hand,
Throwing fits and throwing kisses
At the girls to beat the band.
Take the children to the circus.
Where the donkey and the clown
On the sawdust and the tanbark
Chase each other up and down.
Hear The Jokes as old as oak trees
Growing on the ancient knobs,
See the lady bareback rider
Punch a paper full Of holes.
Take the children to the circus,
Every little mothers son.
Daughter. too, with aunts and uncles,
To be sure they see the fur.
Relatives. a long procession.
. To the circus are inclined,
For to view the worlds great wonders
Is improving to h mind.

Cannot Sing the Old Songs.

SAIUOOS 0iuS S"0 VIZ SShGS
I cannot sing the old songs
I sung long years ago.
For heart and voice would fail mo
And foolish tears would flow.
For bygone hours ONE Ger my heart
With each familiar strain.
I cannot sing the old songs
or dream those dreams again
I cannot sing the old songs
Or dream those dreams again.
/ cannot sing the old songs.
Their charm Is sad and deep:
Their melodies would waken
Old sorrows from their sleep.
And, though all u%nforgotten still
And sadly sweet they be,
I cannot sing the old songs:
They arc too dear to me.
I cannot sing h old songs:
They are too dear to me.
I cannot sing the old songs,
For visions come again
OF golden dreams departed
And years of weary pain
Perhaps when earthly letters
Have set my spirit free o.
My voice may know b old songs
For all eternity.
Ny voice may know the old songs
For all eternity.

Trouble Among Educators.

The state board of Regents last
week accepted the resignation of
DR.. Chalmers, from the presidency
of the Vermillion University, to
which the Board had appointed him
to succeed the incumbent Prof.
Droppers. There are reports that
the whole stir is not without its
political side. The heads of the
institution have been in anything
but a settled condition for some time
and the Board itself appears to be
drifting about aimlessly among the
shoals and rocks of a whole sea of
trouble brought on by its own in
difference, incompetence, or political
desires. The following from the
Vermillion Republican comes the
nearest to an intelligent report
of the trouble we have found;
*** it is our belief that the resigna-
ton of DR.. Chalmers was the result
of some investigation made by the
Regents and Governor into his re-
cord before removing to the this
State, which placed him in a posi-
tion not quite fitting him for occupy
ing a place SO high and responsible
as the presidential chair of a state
university. These irregularities
were not, perhaps, of the darkest
hue, but they we're sufficient to
cloud his career and handicap his
usefulness in the conduct Of the
affairs Of this or any similar institu-
ton, if substantiated or exposed. 1t
is probable the Regents, aided by
Governor Elrod and others promin,
ent in state councils, had probed the
matter to the bottom and were con-
vinced of his unsuitableness. and
possibly they suggested to him the
propriety Of a prompt resignation
which hint he may have readily
taken and thus saved these officials
an unpleasant duty. One mystery
remains unsolved, and that is how
DR.. Chalmers could have for ovel
two years managed the affairs of the
State Agricultural College at BROOK
ings without his shortcomings, il
he has INDUCED in them, following
him and tripping him there. NM

Sens In Verse
OLD FAVoRlTEs.
AnnabeI Lee.

AnnabeI Lee.
It was many and many a year ago,
In 4 kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden lived whom you may know
BY the name of Annabel Lee.
And this maiden lived with no other
thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was q child
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more
than love.
I n my Annabe Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs Of
heaven coveted her and me.
The angels. not so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
know.
In this kingdom by the sea,
That the vino came out of the cloud by
night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than
the love
OF those who were older than we.
OF many far wiser than we.
And neither the angels in heaven above
Nor the lemons down under the sea
Can ever discover my soul from the soul
of the beautiful Annabel Lee,
For the moon never beams without bring
ing me dreams
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee,
And the stars never rise but I feel the
bright eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee.
And SO all the nighttide I lie down by
the side
OF my darling, my darling, my life and
my bride,
In her sepulcher there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

The Price of Tin.


Miner. Price of tin is constantly
climbing and has reached a price
never before dreamed of. The Unit
ted States is increasing the consump-
ton of this metal every year and so
the import from foreign countries
grows. Within her boundaries have
been found prospects of this very
mineral in different localities of the
country. The best finds OF cas- sitter
lite in veins as we'll as in placer
(stream tiny, have been found in the
Black Hills, but at no time have the
tin prospects, at least not in the
southern Hills, received a decent
chance through development to
prove their merit. The Harvey
Peak Tin Company's failure is
falsely accepted by many, as a
FAILURE in tin mining in the Hills.
Legitimate mining and stock job
bing specnlations in mining proper
ty are two very different things. We
believe the stock speculation was a
huge success, JUDGING from the
seven million dollar suit which the
English stockholders have brought
against the Americans, but it was
at our expense and tin mining has
ever since been blighted. The tin
prospects in the Hills are not fakes
but realities and will when thor
oughly developed prove paying
mines. Tin is a deep mineral and it
will take depth TO find the ore in
paying quantities. The Gertie tin
mine proves it here as tin mines
wherever found have proved it in
their respective countries. The
Gertie today at 500 feet in depth is
richer in values and larger in body
than ever before.
