State star, of this city, played third

HOME AND MOTHER

There is a spot on earth to me most
dear,
The dearest place Of all;
When weary. there 1 found the sweet
est rest.
Heavens benedictions there would
round me fall.
For mother always waited at the door.
With words Of consolation and Of
cheer
And If you search the wide world DER
and DER.
Youl ind no friend like mother
none so DEAR
She helps you bear your burdens all
the way
She soothes you when in sorrow or
in pain;
She makes the crooked paths grow
bright and straight,
And brings the sunshine to your life
again.
And So no matter where on earth Won
roam,
Amid the greatest glory earth can
give
You'll never find the peace, the rest
the love,
That mother dear and home. sweet
home can give.
I've crossed the seas and gazed upon
the works
The greatest artists OF the world
produce;
I've sought for rest, for fame. for ham
piness,
( But after all I found II was no use.
/ sought for it at fashions CAV Ievee
thought the dance and music would
me cheer,
But all its brightness turned to ashes
on my lips
My heart would long for homo and
mother dear
In fancy I can see the dear old place.
The old well-sweep the trees upon
the lawn:
Where she and I would sit beneath
their shade
And hear the birds sing in the early
morn.
When evening shades would fall upon
us there,
She blessed me as knelt down al
And the our Father she would teass
In gentle accents-Ohi so low and
sweet.
Mother has long since entered into
rest.
But / can feel each day her gentle
power;
She taught me TO be strong. and brave
and true.
To lean upon her God in life's dark
hour.
Fortune has smiled on me along the
way.
And 10 me earth's broad acres have
been given;
But nothing to my heart can bring the
peace,
Like the sweet thoughts OF mother
home and heaven.

The First Summer Season With

Although usually at this time of the year Brookside home is only taxed to about half i;s capacity, just at present there are as many in- mates in the place as during the winter of other years. Almost every available bed at the home Is occupied and the charity board Is wondering how they will be able to accommodate the large number of applicants that Is sure to appear when the cold weather begins.
 Although fall and winter are some distance away. nevertheless the charity commissioners are greatly worried because of the num- ber that has called for help during the summer and are planning what they will do when there is no longer any room at Brookside. The new hospital ward which was recently completed but not opened may not be used as a hospital after all: at present 1t looks as if the ward would have 10 be turned into a dormitory. There are about 13s persons at BrOOkside now which IS more than twice the number that is ordinarily there during the warm weather. Moreover several call at the charity department daily and ask to be admitted 10 the home.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Surface Water From Driggs
 School May Cause Suit.

The employees of the department of education will hereafter be paid weekly if the recommendation of the board of education is favorably acted upon by the board of finance. At the meeting of the board of education last evening Commissioner McDon- aid presiding, Commissioner Mona gan stated that some of the school janitors had been to see him about having weekly pay day. And forth with it was moved that "all em- ployes" of the school department be recommended to the board of finance for a. weekly pay day. The word "empfoyes" means the janitors, paint CTS and carpenters. The board of finance will act upon the recommen- dation this week.
 Commissioner Chapman moved that the Granite Construction. Co be not paid the balance of its contract price on the Driggs school addition until other work which the board may deem necessary Is completed proper ly. It was stated that the plaster is falling off the walls in some of the school rooms. The amount held back on the contract is s1,7Oc, and it was the opinion of the board that the Granite Construction Go considers the board "too easy for anything"
 Hector Dubuc, representing the company, stated the work will be donethis week and that he hoped the board would pass a vote that the money be paid them. Such a vote was accordingly passed. with the pro vision that the work must be satis- factory to the committee on school houses. It was also decided to re- lease the company's bond immediately upon the completion of the work, thereby saving. the company another premium.
 Mrs Elizabeth Siebert wrote to the board complaining that unless imme- diate steps are taken to stop the flow of surface water over her land from the Driggs school land she will bring suit. This matter was referred to the committee on hygiene. It was voted to get the city engineer to To- cate the boundary lines of the Driggs school land as soon as possible.
 Bills and payrolls were then ap- proved and the board, adjourned.
