tunes were not missing The coats come
below the hips, are semi-ntted and close
down the center front with FIVE buttons

Trobbing its dirges of Pain.
Its music OF woodwork and strain
Dying and dying away
When twilight is gray!
Hoofs and voices and wheels,
Song OF city in toll
Song Of incessant turmoil
Hunt Of the golden spoil,
Music that sWayS and reels,
Music one hears not, but feelsi
GlittcTing vision Of glories,
Streets and crowds and the calls,
Streets and crowds and the halls,
The sun-fiashing Widowed walls,
Man-builded. stories on stories,
Sublime promontories!
And now at home in my chair
The golden day pours like a sea
Ever ana ever on me,
Touched Of Eternity;
o. sWims in the evening air.
Vision and glory rare.
And Peace floats into The heart
All day in the crowd I was hurled,
BY the GROVE was my Soul unfurled.
I helped in the work Of the world,
I PLAYED my part my part
o. power Of Peace in the heart,
Eternal peace in the heart

Secretary EngIe in Charge Of
Headquarters Prepared
for Educational Work
LEGALITY OF THE
LAW NOT SETTLED

Emil Engle, secretary Of the Busi-
ness Mems Protective Association
which win direct the campaign against
prohibition in this state. was at the
headquarters Of the association at
room No. 1O4 at the Clayton House
bright and early this morning prepar-
ing for the arduous duties that will
devolve upon him. Mr.. Engle soon
got busy examining statistics and
literature. as the opponents Of prohi-
bition propose to conduct a campaign
on educational lines.
The activity of the temperance peo-
pie has stirred their opponents to ac-
tion and il is expected that the reaA
aggressive work Of the campaign will
be started much earlier than was an
ticipated. Mr.. Engle said this morn
ing that mot only win the campaign
be conducted along educational lines,
but the question of morality in towns
and cities where liquor is not sold as
compared with places where the traf-
fic is licensed win be shown con-
Nlnclngly by comparisons
Gathering Statistics.
It is known that the opponents Of
prohibition are collecting statistics
from all parts of the country and there
are hints that they will have some
startling information to set before the
public. AS another evidence Of the
activity of the opponents Of prohibi-
ton the local branch of the German
American Alliance will hold a meeting
in German Hall Tomorrow evening
when a large attendance is expected.
The important questions of the pend
ing campaign viii be discussed and
plans considered how best to combat
the temperance sentiment.
Some of. the men interested in the
campaign are anxiously awaiting to
learn whether Governor Lea proposes
10 ask the opinion Of the judges on
the question of whether the law under
which the election is to be held is con-
stitutional or not. It is certain that
should any OF the counties go dry ct
the coming election. the law will be
tested in the courts. and for this rea-
son the Governor has been urged to
get an opinion in advance from the
courts.
