AuTUMN's COMING.

I saw the maiden Autumn come
A red leaf In her hair,
And timbrels In her hands to thrum
A wild and prankish air.
Her eyes were starry-brlght as dew
Upon a verdant mere.
Her crimson slippers twinkled new
Adown the graying year.
Her lips were carmine, cupid. bowed,
And seeming. made to kiss
II one but knew the proper code
To WOO the madcap miss!
And all In Haring colors. she
Bowed mocking to the breeze,
And sang hoiidens song to me.
And romped the silvered leas.
| saw the maiden Autumn come
A Gipsy lass, and fair.
With timbrels in her hands to thrum.
A red leaf in her hair.

Mothers Club at Franklin School.


On account of the severe rain
storm, together with sickness, the
lawn fete that was to have been
given by the mothers and teachers
OF the Franklin school, was post
poned until this week.
1t has been suggested that the
mothers each donate and on Satur.
days hold markets down town until
sufficient amount is raised to fur
nish the building as II should be,
In the first place your children need
reference books, and there are none
in this building save an edition or
two OF Webster's dictionary. Then
cases are needed for them, pictures
should be on the walls, the principals
Office should be furnished In short
everything is to be done to make
school life as attractive and inter.
esting TO our little ones as possible
THE first Impression Is lasting.
And II they are started In unfurnish,
ed rooms-with no attractions-nu
means OF enlightenment-nO good
story books to read after study
hours-what may We mothers expect
but that they come home dissatisfied
and school life will become irksome-
and with such a feeling a child
cannot learn.
Let every mother donate literally
to this cause. and meet at the school
when the meetings are called.
