THE TOWN OF HAsYvILLE.

It's the dearest town. the fairest town,
the prettiest town to me,
OF all the towns in all the lands this
side or cross the sea;
1t sunshine there, and mOOnshine there,
and starshine all the time.
And it's never cold, and none get old,
in it's lovely summer cline;
There's never a ghost or a goblin there,
and sin was never known,
And no one ever had a pain, or heard a
neighbOr grOan,
And the birds sing always, night and day,
in fact they're never still,
In this airy, fairy, darling place, the
Town of Babyville.
The stores are full of sweetmeats, and
they're sold for Just a song,
The hObby-hOrses in the streets are free
the whole day long;
The band plays every afternoon, there S
fireworks every night,
And all the babies tOddle out to see the
glorious sight.
You kiss them as you meet them, and
they kiss you when you go,
And clap their hands, and laugh with
glee. to see you at their show;
The doctor died last summer, and is rest
ing DER the hill,
For none get sick, they haven't time. in
the Town of Babyvtlle.
The houses are of gingerbread, the fences
The rivers full of lemonade, and big
panada lake;
You eat whenever hungry, and you drink
whenever dry,
And pay your board in kisses,-that surely
isn't high;
But if you want to live there you have to
pay toll.
Some pay it very readily, some can't, to
save their soul;
It's not in gold or silver, nor yet paper
bill,
It's just to bring baby to the Town of
Babyville.
You can live. with US forever, if baby
comes along,
We want another sunny face, another
voice in song.
For we all sing in our village, from the
book of Mother Goose,
And it takes a babe to teach you how
to let your voice out loose;
So if you think of coming, just send your
name along,
And tell US when the baby came. and ii
it's well and strong,
And tell us when to meet you, Wen be
waiting by the mill.
And the band will play you welcome to
the Town of Babyville.
God bless US all, and keep US, what heavy
hearts they'd be
If all these little darIings should be lost
to you and me:
There would never be a sunny day in all
the wide, wide land,
And all the skies above US, with clouds
could but be spanned;
But God is good, stop worrying, and join
me in a song,
Here's love. and life, and sunshine to
the babies, weak and strong,
Let's CuddIe down beside them, and rest
content, until
God calls us all to Heaven, from the
Lou J. Beauchamp.

NEED OF A NEW HIGH SCHOOL.

There seems no escape from the
proposition that Salt Lake will have to
provide another high school for the
children. One need not get excited over
it, or unduly angry. Because the fact
of the need will not be removed by tenn
per.
The condition is natural enough, and
vastly to be desired. II simply means
that the city is growing, and growing in
the most desirable Of all ways-the in
creasing school population.
There is not enough room for the
High school pupils in the old estab-
Iishment. With each passing day the
condition Of overcrowding-a condition
that seriously exists-WfI increase. It
IS now close to the line of the intolera-
bic. Another year will see a situation
which Salt Lake will not knowingly
permit.
The school board owns a splendid
property in First South street, Just cas-.
of Fourth East 1t is ten by twenty
rods in extent. Exclusive of campus.
an ideal high school could be erected
there. Adjoining ground might be
purchased, if the price were not made
excessive. The location could not be
improved. 1t is in the center Of the
district that viii always need a high

FIeHTINe FOB A FOOLISH RIGHT

A Denver high school girl-or her
foolish father-asked the courts to
compel the school authorities to accept
her as pupil without requiring her to
leave her fraternity. The court denied
the petition, and the girls attorneys
give notice they will appeal the case to
the highest court in the land. 1t is said
national organization Of high school
fraternities is back of her.
And it will be a good thing to sift
that matter to the bottom. Men and
women acquainted with good school
work are opposed to having pupils
maintain secret societies in school:
school fraternities and sororities. Those
who defend the right of the boys and
girls to belong to these secret caste So
cieties seem inclined to have their
claims decided by the court.
And nothing could be better welcomed
by every member of the American ma
ton. II the pupils have the right to defy
the rules of school authorities, the peo-
pie should know it. If not, the pupils
should know it.
Our public school system has a good
many sins and weaknesses to answer
for. 1t viii be unfortunate if this be
added

school 1t is easy Of access from every
part of the city.
The establishment of an east side high
school will make possible the develop
ment of a manual training school on the
present west side location; and Moth
ing could be of more value to the COM
mUnity, to the state, or to the race OF
young people now laying the founda-
tons of their lives. With the buildings
and equipment there as a basis, a tech
niCal institute could be established
which would be of the very greatest
value to all. Surely half of the High
school pupils would be better served by
the community if supplied with train
ing in gainful occupation, in the work
Of the hands, than in the sciences and
just where they should be for a tech
nical school The other side of high
school work belongs on the east side.
1t should not be complicated and bur
dened with manual training. Let there
be a new house, and let the pupils make
their selection. Those fitted for trades
can learn trades. Those desiring the
literary side can follow that-and they
viii have ali they well can do with their
books.
Very likely the people viii have to be
asked to authorize the issuing of bonds
for the erection of a new high school
building. Very surely there is nothing
within their power which can be so
helpful to the youth of the city-to the
Utah citizenship of the years that shall
follow.

THE LAST HOUR.

Suppose. beloved, that the gods should
say:
You shall have just one hour of
joy to spend,
You two, together; then shall come
the end.
Henceforward each must walk alone
for aye"
What would we do with that last 1T
tie hour2
Fond words of parting would we
strive to speak,
Crowd phrases faster on our lips and
seek
For messages of comfort and of
pOwer2
I think our hearts would be so full
of pain
We should not speak at all But
you would press
Ny hands close, close in yours, and
you would gaze
Deep down into my eyes. Thus we
should bless
Each other silently, and go our ways
But oh, to think we could not meet
again.

As there is only one genuine Syrup Of

DEATH OF REV. L. D. GElGER

This community was inexpressibly
shocked to learn of the sudden death
of Rev. L. D. Geiger, which occurred
at his home in Apopka some time
! Tuesday. The news was received in
this city through a telegram from
Rev w. A. Hobson of Jacksonville tC
Rev. c. c. Carroll. DR.. Carroll had
| just received a letter from Mr.. Geiger
written the very day of his death, in
which he made no allusion to any bod
| lily complaints, so his death must
have been very sudden.
Mr.. Geiger was born and reared in
this county. He was born on a farm.
and was early familiar with the pillow
and the hoe and every implement that
enters into the economy of the farm.
As he was born about the time of our
civil conflict his early advantages
were meager. but he was ambitious
and determined, and it is no idle re-
mark to say that he was the archi-
tect of his own fortune. His name in
dictates the style and manner Of his
home training-LOrenzO Dow. No
one living in the south but a strong
and rigid temperance advocate would
have given his child that name. and
Mr.. GeigerS after life shows that the
lessons early inStilled into his youth
full mind and assiduOusly cultivated
during his ripening years were as
good seed sown in good ground that
ripened and blossOmed and bore rich
fruit.
Frugal and industrious, he saved
enough money TO attend school in an
other state, and after receiving his
diploma and was received into the
Baptist ministry he preached his first
sermon in Ocala in the old Baptist
church We remember the occasion
very well. and the church was crowd
ed with his old friends. all of whom
were pleased with his first effort, and
were warm and enthusiastic in their
congratulations. At a later time be
was pastor in charge of the Baptist
church here, after the congregation
had grown to be very large.
Mr.. Geiger took a high position in
his church. and so far as we know
was the only native born citizen of
our county on whom was conferred
the degree of D. D.
Mr.. Geiger was possessed of
strong personality and genial dispo-
sition, and made many friends and his
death is a distinctive loss to the
church and to the state.
