"To Sea! To Sear'

To sea, to sea, the calm is Ger.
The wanton water leaps in sport
And rattles down the pebbly shore;
The dolphin wheels, the sea cows
snort;
And unseen mermaid's pearly song
Comes bubbling up the weeds among.
Fling broad the sail, dip deep the oar;
To sea! to sea! the calm is o'er
To seal to seal our white winged bark
Shall billowing cleave its watery
way,
And with its shadow. fleet and dark,
Break the cayed Triton's azure day.
Like mountain eagle soaring light
Ger antelopes on Alpine height.
The anchor heaves. the ship swings
freeI
Our sails swell full. TO sea- to sea.

have no other horse.
And now the pony confessed to his
friend that it was magic horse and
whenever it wanted it could change
into the finest charger and could gal

prancing on their fine horses. whereas
The youngest dragged his horse by the
halter along the road. At one time
they came TO q boggy place and the
poor little horse sank into IL. The
brothers who had gone on before were
very angry about il, as they were
obliged 10 return and drag their broth
er's horse out of the mud. After a
short while the youngests again stuck
in the mud, and his brothers had to
drag il out again, scolding at him all
the time When at last it stuck the

VOTE TO INCORPORATE
Citizens of Leighton Will Have
Mayor and Town Council.

Leighton, Aug. Sept. IA special
election was held Tuesday by the vot-
ers of the town of Leighton to deter
mine whether or not to incorporate the
town under the laws of the state OF
Iowa. The election did not cause as
great stir or excitement as had been
expected. The plan to incorporate mad
little opposition when a determined
fight was looked for from the oppo-
nents of the scheme. The sentiment
in favor of incorporation, which means
practically the erection of a new
school building at Leighton, was al.
most unanimous in the town, and,
knowing this, the citizens paid little
or no attention to the election. Only
thirty-one votes were cast upon the
question. OF this number only seven
were against incorporation. The re-
suit of the election will now bring
about the usual legal formalities and
town officers and council viii be Sc
lected.

plates that for, every mile OF road 3d.

Montezuma drafted the pledges and
the interests of the farmer are safe

connection with this we are reminded
that E. A. Kennel has just returned

some time investigating the new in

there. He is of the opinion that we
could have one through here just as

improvements now in progress in
all the educational institutions of the
city will represent the greatest eX-
penditure of money ever noted for
this purpose in one season. All three
colleges are increasing their equip
ment and making improvements and
the two new buildings, one at c. II. u,
and the other in Second ward, make
an enormous total for educational i'm
provements. There is little doubt
but that Oskaloosa will continue to
hold her place in the front rank as
an educational city.
