SPRING WAKING.

A Snowdrop lay in the sweet, dark ground
Come out" said the Sun, Come out!"
But she lay quite still and she heard no sound;
Asleep" said the Sun, mo doubt"
The Snowdrop heard, for she raised her head.
"L0on spry," said the Sun, "look spry!'
''9t's war; t. said the Snowdrop, "here In bed"

~There wasn't bird when you called last year.

Tbe snowdrop sighed for she liked her nap
And there wasn't bird in sight,
B3nt she popped out of bed in her white nght-cap;

THE CLOSING DAY OF SCHOOL.
(Rudolph Green.)


The Summit school, in Polk coun-
ty, closed the spring term with ap-
propriate exercises Friday evening
Rudolph Green, who was present,
was evidently moved by the signs of
spring, pretty faces and dreamy
moonlight, for he describes 1t under
the caption of this article as follows;
The Summit school stands on the
hills,
OF Polk, some FIVE miles west, or
so,
Of Salem, where the wales and rills,
OF fair Willamette lie below.
'Tis where the breezes from the sea
Kiss orchard bloom and waving
grain
From here fair Salem dots the lea,
Like white winged ships upon the
main.
Last Friday was the closing day
And in the evening, warm and
fair,
The students, friends who came that
way
Soon filled each vacant seat and
chair.
The people gathered at the church
The school house there was far
too small
To hold the crowd, which came in
search
OF entertainment, fun for all.
Miss Hattie Higgins is the dean,
To her good management is due
Much of the years success, and keen
The thanks, returned for work so
true.
The program was enjoyed by all,
Each older guest lived DER again
The happy days II did recall
For they were students now as
then.
Those days in memory are dear
The school house, play ground ami
each rule
Come back In thoughts that bring
tear
For that sweet closing day OF
school.

For eleven years 1 have been working in
prisons from New York to California, striving to
help in preparing men for liberty, and. when it
comes, in giving them the fighting chance they need
and have right to expect after the law is satisfied
and their debt is paid. During that time fifty
thousand men have joined the Volunteer Prison
Leage within the walls. Over five thousand have
straight to us from prison and have been cared
for and started in life from Hope Halls, and
many others throughout the country who do
need this shelter have been counseed and helped

Then he told me in few straightfor-

never had a chance, who had been of the

had at last seen hope for the first time that

Il VIE world depicts the convict as q brutal,
hardened wretch and the place where
he is guarded as the port for the worth
less derect wrecks of the sea of vice. Per-
haps it forgets that as the iron doors open dav
by day to receive newcomers from the outer
world, so also they have to swing back for
the men whose term is over and that the poor
wreck must hoist his tattered sail and launch
out again upon the tempestuous sea of life.
The world has been afraid only lest perchanCe
any of these derelicts shall drift into the path
of the sound sea going craft. 1t has not cared
what is going to become of them, or how
they can be prepared to face the storms and
make port safely in the future.
Those who have come to understand the
situation within prison walls, and who have
learned to know the prisoners, view the whole
subject in far more hopeful manner. To
begin with, the prisons are not filled with
degenerate, vicious, crime loving men. There
have been, and always will be as long as degen-
Grating influences are at work, some abnormal
and brutal characters whose fiendish murders
assaults, and schemes of robbery shock and
starte the world. 1t is unjust, however, to
judge all the prison population by these few
monsters Just as it would be I'm Just to Judge
all the township or the community from which
they sprung, by their notorious example. In a
prison population of over one thousand, it
would be safe to say that less than ten per
cent are viciousy. fiendishlv criminal | do

of these he told me of what to him was remark

AUGUST WILL HELP US.
champion Chronicle.)


August was for years and years con-
sidered one Of the hot, sultry summer
months, good for naught but the grow
ing of corn and harvesting of other
grains, but to a close observer she is
one of the plea santest of the twelve
sisters. This year she is appreciated
more than eyer after the very uncere-
monious manner in which her older sis
ters, May, June and July conducted
themselves while they were with us. Il
left the impression that the whole fam
lily of nineteen hundred and seven were
bad, but with the advent of August we
were treated to a delightful surprise
August has it ir her power to make or
spoil the corn She has 1t in her smiles
to make two million Iowans happy that
they met her, OF. leave them in a fort
night from now with saddened faces
and poor corn.
With the crops much behind, August
is otherwise the same, her beautiful
roadsides of golden rod hang as sleepily
as ever and mol their dusty heads in
the soft breezes which wave the tassled
corn and floats the gauZy cloud across
the sky. The light haze of early
autumn brings the same drowsiness
and the cool shade of the woods, the
mist upon the meadow in early morn
ing tell the same old tale of approach

THE ComMONNESs OF HEROES.

The assertion that all men are pos
sible heroes needs qualification. 1t
should be written and said "all men are
probable heroes" The latest illustra-
ton of this, truth to come to public
knowledge occurred in Boston two
nights ago, when "Driver Cudahy OF
engine No. IA, of Roxbury, deliberately
drove his fire engine against a sidewalk
just under the railroad bridge at Rox-
bury crossing, last night, while re-
spending to an alarm, to prevent a
collision with heavily loaded Brook
line car while running at a high rate
of speed down the incline on fremont
street." The engine was a mass OF
wrecked and twisted steel and iron
The men lived thru it by miracle
u Think of it, YOU who have seen a
four-ton engine come down an incline
behind three powerful, speed maddened
horses. Imagine the impetus, see the
loaded car swing suddenly into it's path
and apprehend the great soul of the
man who deliberately pulled the flying
team with four tons of metal rushing
behind it, and it's crew of men straight
towards a plain certainty of destruc-
ton because the car held helpless
women and children. Imagine the
crash, the fallen horses and the flying
men, Remember that he knew better
than anyone else what must happen to
him. his fellows and his team; that he
did it with delibersution and without
argument 1t was duty 1t was mag
niticent. No captain who ever went
down with his ship, no engineer who
stayed to set the air brakes and turn
the reverse lever. none who did great
deed of self-sacrifice, outranks the man
with the Irish name who swung hard
on the off line and set death course
for the curb because 1T was up to
him
We know Driver Cudahy's name to-
day. We shall have forgotten it to-
morrow That this is so is the best
proof that heroism and adherence to
duty in the face of danger are common
and usual. All men are probable he

NEED IT COST ..ALL A MAN MAKEs2u

Everything is high. F'oodstuffs are
especially high. 1t costs more to eat
than it did few years ago. Bacon is
20 cents pound. Prime steaks cost
as much or more. Living is expensive.
But need it cost all a man makes to
live"
The accounts in the savings banks
say it needn't.
According to a late report of the Hill
| nois auditor of public accounts there
are 605,91S savings accounts held by
banks of Illinois, and one bank in Chi
cago holds 10000 of them The aver
age deposit in savings banks is $500,
and figuring on this basis savings folks
of the state have $3.50, 100000 in bank
for rainy day. The last issue of the
Chicago bank reports showed savings
deposits in state banks to be s160,900 D.
GA, whereas individual checking ac-
counts in national banks aggregated
S129,56S,567. Then to these must be
posts of s7,2S3,s96 in national banks
and checking accounts of $147. 1924
in savings banks, which yields a grand
total of $444,SS7,513. Illustrating the
immense growth in savings deposits,
it may be cited that in 1890 savings de-
posts in Chicago banks We're S12,353.-
0S8., and ten years later they had
grown to $55, 52S,2S2. Since 1901 gains
nave been made by leaps and bounds,
and from 1904 to 1905 deposits in
creased $23,OO0,00O.
If the savings bank accounts of Dav-
export, where among that thrifty pop
ulation of German extraction and birth
the savings accounts average slightly
more than one to family, might be
analyzed it would be seen that it
doesn't take to live all the average
man earns. Living is high, but SO are
wages. The demand for foodstuffs is
great SO is the demand for labor and
service of all kinds.
One reason that prime cuts of beef
are high and hard to get is that peo-
pie who a few years ago would have
been happy with round, are eating por-
terhouses and sirloins. One reason
that it takes "all a man earns to live
is that "a man" spends it all on living
expenses. He lived and was reason
ably happy on $14 a week. He now
lives and tries to be a little happier on
SIS or $40. The main reason that it
takes it all" Isl because he spends it
all, lives in better home, buys better
and oftener.
Not that wages are too high. The
demand for men sets the rate of wages,
as the demand for beef the price of
steaks.
