Moscow's School Scrap.

The city of Moscow is just recovering
from serious shaking-up over public
school matters in which all the frills
and variations customary to such affairs
were in evidence. Public pleasure
burst forth in mass meetings and red
hot denunciations. were handed out
by contributions and editorials through
the city press. The climax was reached
when the superintendent resignation
was called for, and some untutored cuss
tried to poison the gentleman and his
family because they did not get out of
town forwith

picnic. School elections come and go
and very rarely is notice taken of them,
but let any little thing unusual occur in
the school and it assumes mammoth
proportions at once. Every mother 8

are in on it: good names are dragged IN
the mire, family skeletons are brought

the compulsory educational law, and
others, are relics of Legislators at
tempts to crowd out home authority
and substitute the laws of state. AS
long as legislatures pass freak measures
that cannot be enforced 50 long will
there be stepping-stones for those who
disregard other laws that are necessary
for the safety of society.

The paragrapher on the Grapgeville
Globe has settled it in his own mind
that those men-of-war are not coming
to the Pacific to pick scrap with any
nation, at all. 1t is ridiculous to the
Globe that Uncle Sans tars could be
in fighting trim while nibbling on those
bon bons.

The Lost One.

INC k~OSt OuCs
The houses are SNUG and safe
Row after weary row,
The streets are level and smooth
Alight with ordered glow.
The pitiless pavements hurt
The wandering, tired feet,
That stumble on want or sin
On the callous way of the street,
The people are hurrying by,
The cars are grinding on.
A face dawns on the viewv
Blesses the SOULS gone!
Discord and futile grief,
Poverty, wealth and care
Signs of the selfish race,
Blazed on the thoroughfare!
I know where the pines are tall,
Tree after stately tree,
Where needles and cones are strewn
And wood aisles stretch for me.
] know the song of the wild,
Soothing the world-worn mood,
Heard in the heart of the soul
Sub-sounds of solitude!
Why stay where the soul is starved?
Where pomp and squalor meet?
For look on one vanished face
That smiled in the teeming street
Mary D. McFadden.
