WAITIN' FoR A BITE.

New York Sum
4 barefoot hoy I stood upon
The little bridge of plank.
Or down beneath the cottonwood
Atoms the shady bank.
A crooked pole within my hands.
My heart filled with delight;
Ny eyes agleam upon the stream,
Jest Waitin fur a bite.
What though the nibble never come
To strip my bent pin hook?
Twas JOY enough fur me TO be
Down there beside the brook.
An thus I passed the happy hours,
Half hidden out of sight.
In idle dream beside the stream
While waitin' fur a bite.
The years hev come and gone since then
I've fingered by the brook
OF life where trade goes rushing by
With ready line and hook.
I've stood upon the crowded bank
BY day an then by night.
I've angled there in storm an fair.
Jes, Waitin' fur a bite
I've waited for the fish success"
To come an bite my pin:
They come an sniff like them OF old,
An then swim off ag in
Yet. still I'm standin' on the bank
FrIm m0rnin until night
An ] shall stay the same old way
Until ] get bite.

Wind and Rain Cause Havoc, ir
Texas

Austin Tex. May 24-A terrific wind
and rainstorm swept Texas from the
Panhandle TO the gulf early today. The
destruction 10 crops and vegetation, trees
and shrubbery was the greatest reported
in years.
In numerous places houses were un-
rooted and small villages and hamlets in
many instances were inundated by the
terrific rainfall which in the space of
four hours reached seven inches in many
sections. Austin was in the path of the
worst of the storm and for hours the
streets were impossible for either man
or beast, electric light and telephone con-
nections were disabled beyond immediate
repair and many houses were unrOofed.
The agricultural sections of central and
southern Texas have been immeasurably
damaged, according TO general reports re
ceiVed here tonight. Badly demOFalized
wire service occasions slow and very
unsatisfactory reports from many sec
tions that are known to have suffered
from the storm.

EMPIRE DAY PASSES.
Yesterday Was Anniversary
Queen Victoris's Birth.

Eighty-nine years ago yesterday, May
"A. 1919, TO be precise. there was born
To the Duke and Duchess of Kent in
far away England a child, who was
named Alexandrina Victoria, and who
was destined to rule the British nation
sixty-three years. When Queen Vie
toria nassed away it was decided by
all England that the date of her birth
should be always observed as ma
tional holiday and that wherever Eng
lishmen were on that day they should
observe il in some fitting manner.
In most of the large cities Of Amer
lea and, in fact. all over the world,
there is some observance of the day.
In Salt Lake and Utah there are many
of English descent or birth, and al
though there was no formal obserY-
ance, every true Englishman remem-
bered the day which has come 10 be
designated as Empire day.

TREES AND FLOWERS SAVED
Efforts of E. Carter Responsible for
Small Loss.

Although the trees on the county side
of the city and county building suffered
severely as a result OF last weeks snow
storm. the damage would have been much
greater If it had not been for the prompt
action of Z. Carter, who has charge of the
grounds. He went to work early in the
morning with force of men and shook
much Of the snow from the trees. Fear
ing a frost the following night he covered
all the flower beds with canvass and Ian
terms were placed inside. creating enough
heat to prevent the destruction of hun
dreds of dollars worth of flowers al but
little cost.
c. V. Anderson, the custodian of the
county side OF the building, has had con-
sidera BILE trouble of late In preventing peo-
ple \from stealing flowers from the
grounds. He is also having a hard time
in keeping people from taking short cuts
across the lawns, thus creating paths
which it is difficult to efface and which
spoil the whole effect of the lawn.

BY saving through the bars OF the

II is believed that Kelley has operated

He was arrested Saturday night BY Chief

prisoner was a crook of resourcetulness
and experience.
How he got the saws he used in effect

was searched SO carefully at the time he
was locked up that 1t is not thought pos
si6le that he could have entered his cell
with some still undiscovered saws con-
cealed about his person, unless. in pre-
pairing himself for Just such an emer-
gency, he had placed them in some I'M

With about 200 pupils to be enroll

old High School building in Emma

Eight of the graduates last year have
secured positions ranging from $50 up

case of young Chinese graduate, who
few weeks before graduation told
the principal that he had come into

WANTON MISUSE
Of THE COURTS
Judge Andrade R0asts the Ac
cusers of Eddie
TAFT.

| Judge Andrade, police magistrate, in
allowing nolle prosequi to be entered
against the defendant in the case of
Jack Roberts rs. Eddy TAFT, yesterday
paid his respects to persons who wan
tonly make use of the courts and pc.
lice department TO 'Sget even" with
some one, thereby giving rise to op.
portunities for blackmaiI, etc, and caus-
ing endless trouble and humiliation to
their victims.
At the afternoon session in the po.
| lice court, Prosecutor Brown asked that
nolle prosequi be entered. The COM
plainant. who yesterday signed war.
rant charging TAFT with embezzlement,
was not in the courtroom. 1t was stateo
that the signer of the warrant did not
now wish to prosecute.
Attorney Peters, representing TAFT,
gave voice to some pretty strong opln-
ions in the case, and roasted the COM
plainants for bringing humiliation to
his client Mr.. Brown said the defense
had its remedy at law. A vigorous nou.
ding of TAFT s head indicated that he
approved of this suggested course.
d
he had it in his power to visit contempt
punishment upon the persons who had
brought such case, not only upon the
defendant TAFT, but upon himself as
Judge in getting him to sign the war
rant. The Judge intimated that proce
dure of this kind, when it turned out
there was nothing to back up the claims
made by compliments, gave opportu
nifty for wronging innocent parties and
for blackman.
TAFT, who. never since his arrest, felt
that the case would amount to anything
but to establish his entire innocence,
was warmly congratulated for the
course the case had taken in his favor.
It was all over the sale of a diamond

given for the amount, and Jack was
identified at the bank by Mr.. Werner,
partner of TAFT. 1t was straight sale
as far as TAFT was concerned, and he
was surprised when the warrant came
