Ahcf0 Nbu - Nuuiult IN the CITY.
In tho quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering At corners,
Where they whispered each TO each.
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With the earnestness of speech.
As the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
30 they beat against the State House,
So they surged against the door;
And the mingIing Of their voices
Made harmony profound,
Till the quiet street Of chestnuts
Was all turbulent with sound.

Men and women, maid and child;s
And the July sun In heaven
On the scene looked down and smiled,
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain
Now bcheld the soul In freedom
All uneonquered, rise again.
SO they surged against the State House,
While, all solemnly inside,
Sat the Continental Congress"
Truth and reason for their guide,
Der a simple scroll debating
Which, though simple IL might be-
Yet should shake the cliffs of England
With the thunders of the free.
Al the portal of the State House,
Like some beacon In a storm,
Round which waves are wildly beating,
Stood a boyish, slender form;
With his eyes fixed on the steeple
And his cars agape with greed
To catch the FIRST announcement
OF the signing" OF the deed.
Aloft, In that high steeple,
Sat the belman, old and gray
He was weary of the tyrant
And his iron-sceptered sway,
So he sat, with one hand ready
On the elapper Of the bell,
When his eye should catch the signal,
The happy news TO tell.
See see The dense crowd quivers
Through all its lengthy line,
AS the boy beside the portal
Looks forth 10 give the signl

And streightway, ~ the signal,
The old bellman lifts his hand,
And sends the good news making
Iron music through the land.

How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of freedom rufled
The calm gliding Delawarei
How the bonfres and the torches
lilumined the nights repose,
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Fair Liberty arose.
The old bell now Is silent.
And hushed its iron tongue,
But the spirit Il awakened
Still lives--foreveT young.

Mt. Pleasant, Oct. 29.-In his Found
er's Day address yesterday at the col
lege chapel here, DR.. Jeffrey, pastor of
the First w. M church of Ottumwa,
took occasion to give Chicago Univer-
sity a scoring for what he termed
"tomfoolery", in it's teaching. While this
did not constitute part of his main
speech. vet it seemed to be very in
teresting to his audience.
There is more 'tomfoolery.'" said
the speaker, ito the square inch turned
out by the Chicago University than any
similar institution of which know
nave heard of a man whose brain was
diseased, and he was told by his physi-
clan that it would be necessary to take
the brain out of his head and treat
1T in the laboratory for two weeks. The
operation was performed and the man
was told to return in a few weeks.
When that time came, however, he fail
ed to call for his brain. When the sur
going met him on the street a few days
later he asked him, Why did you not
return for your brain? The fellow re-
piled, o, Il don't need it now, 1 got a
job at Chicago University
DIR. Jeffrey continued. however, and
stated: Il am not talking about the
great men which that university has
turned out or the great things which
it has accomplished, am speaking of
the things which have emanated from
it which have been detrimental to stu
dent life, and which make people Won
der why their children ought to have
a college eoluca ton
DIR. Jeffrey is a forceful speaker and
his address added significance to the
day.
