To a Skeleton.

Is The following verses were pub
lished anonymously in the Lon
don (Eog.) Morning Chronicle in
1927. Notwithstanding the offer
of reward of so guineas, the
authors name remained a secret
until nearly SO years had passed,
when it was learned that the lines
were written by Robert Philip OF
Gormyre Cottage, Scotland.
Toward the end OF the year
1926 he wrote the verses while
watching for "body snatchers" in
the parish churehyard at Torphi-
chen, where during the repairing
of the church, the unesrthing OF
skeleton suggested the subject.
The verses were shown to DR..
John Afford, who procured a
copy. and either by accident or
intention dropped copy in the
Royal College of Surgeons, where
they were found:
Behold this ruiRi Twas skull
Once ofethe real spirit full
This narrow cell was life's retreat;
This space wns thoughts mysterious seatf
What beauteous visions filed this spot!
What dreams of pleasure long forgotI
Nor hope. nor Joy, nor love, nsr fenr
Has left one trace of record hereI
Beneath this mouldering canopy
once shone the bright and busy eye!
But start not at the dismal void
If social love that eye employed;
II with no lawless fire ii CLEANED.
But tb rough the dews Of kindness banned.
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night!
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue!
If falsGhood s honey it disdained,
And when it could not praise was chained;
If hold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When Time unyeils eternityI
Say, did these fingers delve the mine,
Or with the cnvicd rubies shine?
To hew the rock, or wear n gem,
Gan little now avail to them;
But If the page of truth they sought.
Or comfort TO the mourner brought,
These hands y richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame!
Avails 1t whether bare or shod
These fret the paths of duty trod?
If from the bowers of ense they fed
To seek afIiiction's humble shed;
If grandeurs guilty bribe they spurned.
And homo to virtues cot returned
These feet with angel wings shall vie
And tread the palace of the sky!

Walter Clark, President OF the
Mississippi Division, Southern
Cotton Association, is out in an
other long circular letter, and,
aside from the usual harangue as
to the reduction OF the acreage,
advocates at least one much to be
desired departure from the rule
governing too many cotton-plan-
ters' operations. This is the rails
ing Of the neoessaries of life at
home.
The cotton growing portions
of the Southland are to be cons
graduated upon the fact that so
many planters have adopted the
plan OF a Investigation OF crops,
but the adoption of the plan
should be universal.
There is no good reason why
but few, if any, Southern farmers
should not raise the greater por>
tion OF the necessaries of life on
their own lands. Corn can be
grown successfully, sugar,cane
gives an abundant harvest, both
sweet and Irish potatoes are pay
ing crops, beans, peas, tomatoes
and other vegetables thrive; il
has been proven beyond question
that hay can be grown at a profit.
Berries are plentiful in their sea-
son, and fruits OF all kinds thrive.
We have good water and plenty
OF it, and our lands bask in the
smile OF Gods sunshine and it,
warmth causeth the seed to
sprout and bring forth--some
twenty, some torty,. some sixty,
some eighty, and some an huns
dredtold.
Let 60 the all cotton idea; di
versiiy your crop and raise you
"someiih' t'eat", and next fall
you can snap your fingers at th'
cotton speculator and be happy.

The recent terrible disaster in

hundred pupils, ranging in age
from six to eighteen year lost
their lives by fire, sutfocation and
being trampled to death in the
panic incident to the alarm, and
all because of inadequate precau

every school board in the land to
see to it that the buildings under
their care, no matter of what size
Or character, are provided with
safe, easy and sufficient means OF
exit tor nse in cases OF emergency.
Just think of the horror of this
