The Maiden Love.


The meadows hide their summer green
Under a veil of gray;
A mist rolls DER the sunny sheen;
1t Is a drear dull day!
The dewdrops tip the blades with beads
That shine like costly gems;
The roses hang their blushng heads
Meath glittering diadems!
But bark! the sound of silver bells,
Echoing DER the woody dells
A little laugh, a sweet clear voice
Which makes my beating heart rejoice
She comes, fairy from above,
A little maid, whose name Is Love!
The morning mist now rolls away,
The sky is bathed In light,
A golden sunshine crowns the day,
My loved one is in sight!
The birds sing out their songs again,
The flowers all bloom anew,
And music swells in joyous strain
From out the heavenly blue!
She comes, and everything is bright,
She comes amid the golden light,
All nature once again Is gay,
1t is the brightest summer day!
She comes-a fairy from above
A little maid whose name is Love!

SHOULD THE FEEBLE BE SLANT
Civilization Dependent Upon the
Safety of Each Life.

Civilization Dependent Upon the
Safety Of Each Life.
Civilization depends upon the safe
ty Of each life, and 1t would cut away
our very foundation to give any one
the legal right to destroy others, says
American Medicine. 1t is this Inherit
ed instinct which causes some states
to abolish capital punishment, though
1t Is generally believed that they
thereby do not properly guard the
lives of the normal citizens. The
medical profession has only one rea-
son for its existence, and that reason
Is the prolongation OF life. 1t is a
reason bound up in the very growth
of modern society itself. To give a
physician the legal right to end a life
would therefore destroy the founda.
ton of the existence of the profession.
AS a body physicians are emphatic
against all such propositions. In ad
dition, 1t is frequently pointed out
that it is not always possible to say
when a life is surely doomed. Pa
tlents not infrequently recover from
conditions which had every appear,
ance Of being fatal. If physician
had the right to end a painful life,
which apparently was soon to end
itself, how long would he retain his
practice? People want doctor who
will struggle to keep them alive to the
very end, even when appearances are
all against them.

Change in School Law

BY publication Tuesday Morning,
new law passed by the general
assembly is now in full force and
effect. This law provides that. "The
board of directors of all Independent
city, town and village corporations
shall organize on the third Monday in
March" which is just the same as at
present. But the boards of rural in
dependent districts and school town
ships shall organize on the first day
of July, instead of the third Monday
lin March. The meeting on the third
Monday in September has been abol-
ished, and all boards will meet on the
first day of July to perform the duti-
es heretofore attended to at the Sept
ember meeting. In rural Independent
districts and school townships, the
boards will not meet next Monday to
organize but will wait until the first
day of July. In the meantime, the old
directors will continue in office and
perform it's duties until that date. The
secretary and treasurer will make
their reports up to the last day o.
June to the board at the meeting on
the first of July. 1t will be necessary
however for all new directors to quail
ify on or before the third Monday in
March. The school census will be
taken between the first and fifteenth of
June instead of September. The old
directors in rural corporations, who
will continue in Office until July must
requalify. In city and town corpor-
atiOns the present treasurers will con-
tinue in Office until July End when
their successors will assume the
duties of the office. 1t will be necess-
airy for treasurers, whose terms have
been extended to give bond to cover
the extension. AS the first of July
comes on Sunday this year, the meet
ING will be held on the second. 4
