A little leaf fell on the moving stream.
And twisted and turned its way,
Like the feather that fioated before the
wind
on a breezy autumn day.
This little leaf saw the change of scene,
The trees both great and small.
And gazed at the ships and the Htte
boats
And passed DER the waterfall.
Tossed by the foam that spattered free,
The leaf through the rapids ran,
So swiftly 1t turned on the rushing wave,
Twas as dizzy as a drunken man.

Coke Fiends h2leased.

After confining them in the federal
Jail for thirty days. during which time
they were denied the use OF the drug
to which they were addicted, three
cocaine fiends were released this
morning.
These dope fiends together with
otners were arrested some time ago
by the federal authorities as vag-
rants, and were given a light sentence
in jail They have served the sen
tence and have been released.
What will be done with them now
is problem. No doubt, they will
again take up their old habit. The

will again revert upon the federal au-
thorities to place them in Jail.

they expect to return shortly and

action, and that it is more than likely
that a company will be organized and
a plant established as above stated
