The Rescue

The children could never tell just
how II happened, except that there
was a splash and one OF the little boys
was missing from the float. In terror
they watched the widening circles on
the water, but he did not come to the
surface. Then a distinct humping un-
der the float at their feet sent them
screaming from the spot. All save
one. A small. fair-haired girl. with a
white, determined face remained.
Throwing herself fat upon her stom-
ach, she wound one arm firmly about
an upright of the slight railing, and
thrust the other into the green water
as far under the float as she was able.
Again she heard the terrifying bump
against the umbers, and she grabbed
frantically underneath the float in the
direction Of the sound, but with no re-
suits. In an agony of suspense she
waited for him to rise the third time,
then her small hand grasped the hair
Of the drowning child, drew him out
into the open and held HIS head above
wafer till help came in response to her
shT ieks.

LET THE SUIT GO ON.

1t Is to be hoped that Judge Baldwin
will not permit the vindication given
him by his election as Governor of Con-
necticut to deter him from the determ-
ination to hold Colonel Theodore Roose-
Welt responsible in damages for slander
spoken during the progress of the cam
paign. 1t is true that the result of the
election shows that, so far as the
voters were concerned, the SANDERS
were harmless. But coming from a
man of Roosevelt's reputation, and re-
peated with brutal indifference to the
facts as they were, they not only affect
Judge Baldwin's reputation as a lawyer
and jurist adversely, but they call for a
rebuke as positive and public as it is
possible to make it.-Richmond Vir-
ginian.

STUART.

Henry Stuart and his friends made a
gallant fight in the Southwest, but the
odds against him were too heavy, and
ne lost by small majority between
two and three. hundred-to his adyer-
sary. This adversary, a personally
clean man of unusual capacity, went
into the fight with powerful and COM
pact organization accustomed to victory.
and with clear majority of over 400
votes. This majority has been cut down
to less than 30O-possible less than 200.
That such result could have been
attained in the course Of one campaign
is little less than marvellous. The won
der Is not that the Democrats lost, but
that they came so near winning. Such
showing was only possible as the result
OF 8 combination of circumstances

THE CRISIS.

Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood,
For the good or evil side.
Then to side with Right is noble,
Then we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame or profit,
And tits prosperous to be j-st.
Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward turns aside,
(Doubting in his abject spirit
Till his Lord is crucified.)
Hast thou chosen, o my people.
On whose party thou wilt stand,
Ere the Doom from her worn sandals,
Shakes the dust against the land?

RICHMOND COUNTY SCHOOL
BOARD MAKES IMPROVEMENTS,

One of the most important eonquests
in the present campaign against hook
worm disease was announced last week
by the State Health Department. This
is an order by the school board of large
district in Richmond county, requiring
the installation of sanitary arrange
ments at all the public schools in the
district. The Health Department is
highly gratified at this action. which is
the first of its kind in the State. and
DR.. Allen w. Freeman, who is in charge
of the hookworm work of the depart
ment, expresses the opinion that this
action by the Richmond county school
board will not only greatly reduce the
prevalence of hookworm in the county,
but will set mark for the school
boards of other districts.

LOVES SORROW.

Written for the VIRGINIA CITrzENl
Rocked like bsrque on storm-raging
ocean.
Aimless l rush to some fate-driveu
Wild are the winds that hasten me
onward,
Cruel the waters that carry me Ger.
Racked by a passion eternal, undying,
My soul clings to something fain
would forget;
Each heartbeat a pain and each nerve
string torture
A victim of sorrow live to regret.
Wooed by wild and relentless emotion,
Born of passion as deep as the sea:
Reason abandoned, my heart grew to
yearning-
Yearning for something, for love and
for thee.
Lured by this love knelt at thy altar,
Pledging mine own as the price of thy
heart;
Pledging in vain although still i'm
ploring-
Begging for something that could not
be bought.
Lingering still, my memory wonders;
Truent my soul seeks in darkness for
thee:
Wayward, detected, forlorn. disap-
pointed.
Wretched, Observation-Disclosures for
me.
What is the toll of souls true devotion?
Penniless, yet could purchase the
earth
IL sorrow were gold or passion were
silver:
Millions on millions now should be
worth.
But, rocked like barque on a storm
raging ocean,
Love unrequited, drift to some shore;
For destiny drives me away from the
harbor

DOOM OF HOBBLE-SKIRT.

Poetical justice has overtaken the
hobble-skirt. Having caused the pain.
fui physical fall of many fair wearers,
it has fallen itself to low estate in the
commercial sense. You may buy yes

The hobble-skirt has been killed by q
succession of accidents. During the
last few weeks women wearing this
particular costums have fallen so often
and so awkwardly that several arms
and legs have been broken, and the
Parisienne has now definitely decided
against this style of garment.
