With the Advance Guard

In the dream of the northern poets,
The brave who in battle die
Fight on in shadowy phalanx
In the field of the upper sky;
And as we read the sounding rhyme,
The reverent fancy hears
The ghostly ring of the viewless swords
And the clash of the spectral spears.
We think with imperious questionings
OF the brothers whom we have lost.
And we strive to track in deaths mys-
terry
The flight of each valiant ghost.
The northern myth comes back to us.
And we feel, through our sorrows night,
That those young souls are striving still
Somewhere for the truth and light.
1t was not their time for rest and sleep;
Their hearts beat high and strong;
In their fresh veins the blood of youth
Was singing its hot, sweet song.
The omen heaven bent over them.
Mid flowers their 1.-THE feet trod,
Their lives lay livid in light, and blest
BY the smiles OF women and God.
Again they comel Again hear
The tread of that goodly band:
I know the flash of Ellsworth's eye
And the grasp of his hard, warm hand;
And Putnam and Shaw. of the lion heart,
And an eve like Boston girls;

The Rev. Appleton Grannis- Of st.

Park kindly offered us hospitality un-
til our building should be again ten
antable. This second club was made
up of men more famous in worldly

SMITHS PRAIRIE, Idaho, Dec. 8.
People in this section are not
now enjoying the benefits ordina.

tai facilities. Ever since the death
of State Senator Russell, Mrs. Rus
sell, in charge of the postoflice
at Alden, has been in extremely
poor health, with the result that
she has been unable to attend to
the work attached to the office.
A petition has been circulated
and signed asking for the estab-
lishment of postoffice at Smiths
Prairie ("Wall" being one of the
names suggested }, with Theodore
Pierce as postmaster. In addition,
the petition asks for the establish
ment of a free delivery system
from Thurman to Smiths Prairie,
thus giving prompt service direct
from Mountain Home.
The desired improvement does
not contemplate the abandonment
of the poetoffice already established
at Alden. The two offices are
needed in order to afford the resi-
dents of this section proper accom-
mediation.
The Smiths Prairie school is in
a fourishing condition, Mrs. Cole,

having about 20 pupils under her
