NOON.

Charmed into silence lay
The forest, dimly lit;
No wind that summer day
Moved the least leaf of it.
NC choric branches stirred
Its calm profound and deep.
nor voice of any bird,
But silence dreamed like sleep.
Like dew upon the grass
1t fell upon my soul;
Loosed it to soar and pass
Beyond the stars control
Vague memories it woke,
Shapes far too frail for touch;
And then the silence broke;
Lest l should learn too much.

NOT UP TO GOVERNOR.
Special Legislative Committees Must
Decide About a Special Session.

Decide About "A Special Session.
1T isn't exactly up to me to say
whether there shall be a special ses-
sion," said Gov. Davidson the other
day. 1T rests rather with the spe-
cial committees. If they can get to-
gether and formulate some bills on
which they can agree, there might be
some reason for holding such session;
but If there is any prospect of con-
tinuation of last winters wrangling
we would gain nothing by special SEES
sion, and the State would be put to
great expense So far as | can tell
there seems to be very little sentiment
for a special session, either on the part
of the press or the general public. But
the Legislature adjourned in the ex-
pectation that one would be held, and
it rests largely with the committees
of that body what should be done"

SC. The first game was played last
Tuesday. but the full match could not
be finished then owing to darkness
setting In. However. yesterday the
second set was completed, and a fine
exhibition of tennis resulted.
Richards seemed to fail at critical
moments In the long drawn-out set
and. although at times he appeared to
have a cinch on the match. he would
make an error and Clark would again
take the lead.
After Clark had beaten Richards he
had to play Castle right away. He
seemed tagged from the hard work In
his match against Richards, and did
not play up to the form previously
shown by him. Castle played a strong
game and took the two sets right OF
