In School, Days.


Still sits the school house by the road,
A ragged beggar stunning;
Around it still the sumachs grow.
And blackberry vines are running.
Within. the masters desk is seen,
Deep SCARED by raps official:
The warping floor, the battered seats.
The jack knife's carved initial;
The charcoal frescoes on its wall;
It's doors worn SILL betraying
The feet that. creeping slow to school
Went storming out to playing!
Long years ago winter sun
Shone over it, at setting;
Lit up It's western window panes,
And low caves icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curls,
And brown eyes full of grieving,
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled:
His cap pulled low upon face
Whore pride ad shame were mingled
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he fingered:
AS restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes: he felt
The soft hands light caressing.
And heard the tremble of her voice,
AS if a fault, confessing.
I'm sorry that spelt the word;
hate to go above you,
Because" the brown eyes lower fell
Because. you see, love you'll"
Still memory to gray-haired man
That sweet child-tace is showing,
Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing!
He lives to learn, in life's hard school
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her,-because they love him.

The News from Oklahoma.
Got some word from Oklahoma on the
Wednesday morning wire;
Just some facts about election and
they filled US full OF fire.
Just some good election figures. and
We just leaned back and laughed
At the way young Oklahoma handed
lines to William Taft
Clear from Enid down to Guthrie snd
from there to Chickasha
Everything is democratic and We're
feeling blythe and gay
Got some word from Oklahoma and it
filled us full of slee-
But there's gobs of gloom now head
ed straight for Washington, D.
Got some word from Oklahoma. and
we've swept the platter clean;
Licked the grasping corporations and
the carpet bag machine.
Forty thousand for the ticket-speed
the news upon the way
Till it bumps against the wharfing
fronting on Manila Bay.
From Kingfisher to Okmulgee, clear
down to the Texas line,
Everything is democratic and we're
feeling mighty fine.
Bully news from Oklahoma-democrat-
ic to the core
And when Taft gets word about 1t he
will feel almighty sore.
Three times three for Oklahoma. For
ty thousand! Hully gee!
Please excuse us if we holler, for cur
souls are filled with glee
Bucked the whole administration and

And we whipped 'em. boots and breech-
es-licked the bloomin' platter

Yes. we heard from Oklahoma. and we
swing our hats on high.
And our cheers crossed the Pacific, to

CONGRESS OF PRIESTS,
First international Meeting to Be Held
at Pittsburg.

~ o. uS0ittoStOud' IWCOSIUS 70 Dc T1SI0
at Pittsburg.
Final preparations for the First In
ternationa! EIeharistic Congress, to be
held in PittsburgA on October 18th,
18th and 18th. are about completed,
and from the interest being mani
tested by the clergy throughout the
country in the coming Congress it is
safe to assert that it Will be the most
successful meeting ever held by the
Priests Eucharistic League in the
United States. More than 500 dele
gates are expected. among whom will
be many of the most distinguished
prelates of America and some of the
highest dignitaries of the Church in
Europe.
The Priests Eucharaistic League,
under whose auspices the Congress
will be held, is an association O,
priests. whose object is to procure by
their own example and exhortation
due devotion and love for our Lord
In the adorable mystery of the altar.
From the fact that at the last Con-
gress held in Metz. there were in at
tendance 5000 delegates, among whom
were the Pope's Legate. Cardinals
Princes, and men high in the councils
Of Church and state, some idea can
be gained of the great influence ex-
erted by this association. Within re-
cent years the Priests Eucharistic
League has spread rapidly among the
clergy of the United States. and it is
confidently expected that the coming
Congress will give such an impetus to
the movement in this country that the
leagues membership will be greatly
increased .....
The Congress will open in the new
st. Pauls Cathedral with solemn Pom
tif1cal Mass at which Bishop Kelley
OF Savannah will preach. Zach
morning there will be Pontifical
Mass celebrated by an Archbishop at
which a Bishop will preach, and in
the morning and Afternoon of each
day business session for lay people
at which questions pertaining to the
objects of the league will be discussed
by able speakers from the ranks OF
the laity. .:
All priests. whether members of the
league or not. are cordially invited to
attend the Congress, and all will be
sure Of hearty welcome from their
Pittsburg confreres. The hotels of the
city have made special rates for visit
ing clergymen and the local commit
tee have made suitable arrangements
for the comfort and convenience of all
who may attend the Congress.
AS stated. this will be the first in
ternational Congress, all others hav-
ing been only local or at most ma
tional. and it will. attract. to Pitts
burg number Of the most distin-
guished ecclesiastics Of this country
and Europe. Invitations have been
extended to Cardinal Gibbons. to al
the Archbishops and Bishops Of the
United States and Canada and to TIKI

When the wild geese must be flying

There's frigate in the bay.

Twill be gone before the day.
And my heart-my heart as well.
For tits oh! the idle pleading
To be led that would be leading.
And the pride that's in the breed

What shall quell?
There's regiment in France.
That they call the "Irlandaise"
But it's oh! the weary dance
That their fife and bugle plays.
And it's oh! the heavy measure
And the piping without pleasure
If the heart that was your treas
Bleeds and pays.
There's shadow on my heart
Like the shadow on the sea:
But the sooner, love, we part
Sure the sooner back you'll be.
oh! the dancing and the singing
When the wild geese west come

DROWNING ACCIDENTAL,
POLICE NOW BELIEVE

Investigation today of the circun-
stances surrounding the death Of
George W. Leigh. forty-fve years of
age, of Baltimore, in the fUme Of the
American Ice Company, Georgetown,
tended to indicate that he fell into the
water Thursday night or early Friday
morning. The swollen and discolored
body Is still at the morgue. but prob
ably Will be claimed this afternoon or
tomorrow, as the police are In cOmmu-
nicatiOn with his relatives.
The veil of mystery enveloping the
case was lifted by Joseph B. Amiss. Of
Rosslyn, Va. yesterday afternoon, when
he informed the police that Leigh had
started from home to walk along the
tow path Of the canal. for the purpose
Of keeping an engagement. Amiss ex-
pressed the belief that Leigh toppled
into the swiftly running canal and was
carried down into the flume Of the
ice works during the hours Of darkness.
J. A. Bawman. Of 1900 Thirteenth
street, found the body floating on the
surface Of the water at Potomac and
Grace streets, Georgetown, and hauled
Il ashore. Police Of the Seventh pre-
cinct were informed. They examined
were found on it Removed to the
morgue the body was searched, and by
means Of papers and cards In the pock-
cts Of the coat II was established that
the dead man was Leigh.
Coroner hewitt will view the remains
this afternoon and will likely give a
certificate Of accidental drowning.

frightened of by woman living in the

stranger removed his creaking tan OK
fords with wide silk laces and put them
behind a door on the second floor OF the
