From the marshes and meadows they rise
When the last ray of daylight expires;
With a vast constellation Of fires
They people the dusk of the skies.
In an intricate kind of a dance,
In a mystical maze they are led,
And | watch them it noiselessly tread
With eyes that are heavy with trance.
And oft from the whirl and the throng
Some lesser light dies In the play;
They cease not their dance but Away
Go circling and whirling along.
And. watching, | dream that our life
Is a mirthless dance that we tread,
Meier pausing to number the dead
That vanish away in the strife!
We are sparks from the marsh that are
filed
For a moment with impulse desire;
A moment is ours to inspire,
A moment-and then all is stilled

members of these committees where ex-

QUESTION OF CONTROL

Necessary Power.

When Congress convenes In its next
session the question of whether the
Public Printer has the authority to pur-
chase machinery. as well as other ques-
tons bearing upon Government print
Ing expenses. 1t is said, will be definitely
settled.
To members of the joint printing
committee the law on this subject is
not quite clear, and an effort will be
made to invest such expenditures in a
higher authority than the Public
Printer. Just in whom to invest III
power Is the point in controversy. Some
think 1t should be with the President
while others contend that the Joint
committee should control the expense

Expert Gives His Opinion of the

The needs of Oskaloosa in septic

receive the expert consideration OF
Professor r. S. McClanahan, who
built the septic tank now in success
full operation in Monmouth. Arrange
ments with Professor McClanahan
were perfected by the city council
Friday evening.
Professor McClanahan came to the
city expressly to meet the city coun.
Gil on the question Of the proposed
septic tanks. During the afternoon
he visited the proposed site of the
tank, the old Roth pasture south OF
town, and took measurements in com
pany with City Engineer John Shan
non. The site according to the Pro
fessor, was satisfactory, and being
furnished with levels and measure
ments, he will make. a report to the
council of the materials necessary, the
size of the tank needed and the cos

fashionable preparatory Latin school

by suspending Miss Erma Shaw,
daughter of Secretary Leslie M.
Shaw. 1t seems that Miss Shawland
seven other girls refused to obey an
order prohibiting the wearing of their
select society pin, and c~urtailing
some of the privileges they had been
enjoying. Mr.. Updegraffe summarily
suspended them. 1t has caused a
great stir at Washington, as Secre-
tary Shaw is, said to have taken sides
with his daughter. Mr.. Updegraffe
was reared at ~Sigourney, and re-
signed at Knoxville four years ago
to take up a course at Columbia
university. From Columbia he went
to the Baltimore school.
Miss Georgia Wilcox entertained
the teachers of First Ward School
Saturday evening with a Valentine
Party" The rooms of the home
were decorated for the affair. Bright
red hearts and hearts of other colors
were suspended in the door ways
and from the chandeliers. The girls
were all in costume appropriate to
the occasion and this seemed to fur
an almost limitless amount of amuse-
ment. Hearts were hidden in various
places about the rooms of the home
and a few moments in which.to make
a general search of the place were
allowed the guests. Miss Carrie
Young found the greatest number
within the time allotted and o a
handsome prize. Next in the list of
entertainments heart shaped book
let's were given each guest. The
books contained list of 10 questions.
The answers to all of the questions
were to begin with heart. Miss Pearl
Burkett won this contest Various
other heart games we're INDUCED in
during the evening. A three-course
luncheon was served and still the
idea of the hearts predominated.
The tables were decorated in bright
red and carnations and was very
pretty and dainty. Each guest found
her place by means of a neat heart
shaped place card on which was
written a verse of a personal charac-
ter for each guest. The reading of
these verses furnished much enter
tainment. Luncheon was followed
by a short program and a valentine
box" Each guest received a num-
Der of valentines of the comic order,
suited to the personality and the
general characteristics of school
marms, but afterwards each one was
consoled and greatly pleased when
presented with a handsome pen and
ink sketch, the work of Miss Pearle
Burkett. The party was one of the
prettiest and most delightful social
affairs of the season.
