HOCKEY

Written for The Washington Hsra d.
I'm going away; I'd love TO know,
Will you be sorry when 20?
VIII you ask; Where has she gone;
Do you think her stay win be loag?"
Just to hockey a little while
Bid me godspeed with tender SMILE
I'll throw you kisses ali the way,
Like a merry child let loose at play.
Hockey! Away from city sights;
The moon and stars my electric lights;
The going to bed by the ocean deep.
The waves will sing me fast to sleep"
Going away from the proud and great
I'd swing and swing on the big front
gate;
ia like to have you, arm in arm,
Hookeying across the dear old farm.
No bricks and mortar there I'll see;
Just plain country TO rest up me.
I'll stretch my length near a "hshin'
hole"
And take a nap at the end Of my pole.
Hockey! To run along green lanes.
Where peace and quiet and beauty reigns.
could put more cheer in my song
If you. dear. you would 90 along.
Hockey with breezes pure and sweet
Gods green world for tired feet.
While winds blow Ger the meadows
wide,
I'd wish for you dear by my side.
Hockey along the forest pool.
Lilies opening sweet and cool;
I'll go the path the summer went
The air stilI full of lilac scent.
Hockey where the fairies stay.
Sweet dreams linger Of yesterday;
In the garden OF long ago.
HOllyhocks nodding in a row.
Pathways bordered with mignonette;
Thank God It has its fragrance yet.
Hockey. sweetheart. you and I.
Hockey! A bit Of rest. that's ALL.
Let all worry slip and fall.
Hockey! and all sorrows seem
Fancies OF a fevered dream.
Hockey! Some day hands viii be
Folded cross the breast OF me;
Ny heart would leap II I knew
You would miss me- you dear. you!
Hockey When it's time to rest
And nfe's sun sinks in the wesL
Her faults were many" you might say.
But I loved her best that way"

Proved Too Tempting for n Jury and

In its zeal TO absorb all the facts in
the case a jury in the District Court at
Salt Lake City not only nullihed its own
verdict Of guilty but made 1t impossible
for the prosecution to make out a case
before another grand jury.
A druggist was on trial for selling
liquor without license. While deliberat-

sent for the exhibit, a flask of whisky
When 1t was returned to the courtroom
Judge Lewis noticed that IL was empty
He reprimanded and dismissed the
jury and notified the defense that a mo-
ton for a new trial would be granted.
The motion was made. and the State

but on the way TO the station house the

STARTS A FIREPROOF CITY
Mrs. Russell Sage Seeks to Give Poor
Men Safe Homes.
Unique Plan Proposed at Forest
Hills, Long leland, Backed
by Millions.

Mrs. Russell Sage. widow Of Rus
sell Sage. has started TO create q
model City" all ireproof It is to be
at Forest Hills. Long Island. and its
purpose is to provide comfortable homes
for people Of moderate means. Each man
will be enabled to own his own home,
with a little garden. and there will be
Fairgrounds and plenty Of fresh air for
the children.
At the outset Mrs. Sage and her ad-
vIsers decided that the homes must be
freproof. An experiment station for
testing all kinds OF materials has been
built at seavaren. N. ]. Grosvenor At
terbury. the architect who planned the
new community, is in charge Of the
tests
The construction Of the model city,
has now been begun with two terra
Gotta houses Walls. floors, and parti-
tons in these buildings are to be Of the
same kind Of blocks used In the sky
serapers" Of New York City. This ma
terial has been found. after elaborate
tests. TO be thoroughly fire resisting.
The terra-cotta blocks now being used
at Forest Hills went through a heat Of
1000 degrees Fahrenheit in the process OF
manufacture, so that Il is not possible for
them to be affected by any degree OF
heat that may be encountered in the fu-
ture. The hollow spaces in the blocks
act as nonconductors Of heat. and thus
the terra-cotta houses have the advan-
tage OF being warmer In winter and
cooler in summer than other houses.

clear height of eleven inches and the
roof ventilation Is designed to ventilate
the car whether the windows are open
or closed The motive power of the car
is a 2oo-horsepower gasoline motor. sus-
pended from the trucks so that the mo-

cause vibration to the body of the car.
AS soon as one Of these new electric
motor cars has been received it will be
substituted for the car now being oper-
ated between Greenvine and Anderson,
The other electric car and the McKeen
car will be put in service in localities

 The private corporations -proposi- ton was also passed with a single amendment That originally required that corporations. foreign and domes- tic, should pay an annual license fee of $5.

 Only one other change was made in the taxation proposition, and that was the elimination of the Y. M. C. A and the Y. w. C.. A. from tax ex- emption.
 After a hard fight in the committee of the whole. these institutions had been added to the exempted list of religious, educational and charitable institutions When this paragraph was reached yesterday Dr. Moeur de rhanded that they be eXcised, unless the Knights of Pythias and kindred orders should be included, and the old debate was renewed. Finally the Moeur motion went to q vote, with every prospect of defeat.
 When the name of Mir Crutchfield was reached in the roll -call he arose to explain his vote. He said that he was a member of the Y. NJ. c.

It rented its rooms and charged q nominal sum for the privileges it afforded. so that in his opinion it did no. really need eXemp- tion from taxation.
 He voted for the Moeur amend ment. When the name of Mir. Jones of Maricopa was reached he said that he had intended to vote for eXemp- ton, but Mir Crutchfield having thrown light on the matter. he, too, would vote for the Moeur amend ment. which carried by a vote of 25 to 23

 There was a complete change of program last evening The HildagOes presented variation of their Spanish dancing act. Hildago did a modified Salome dance. dressed in a beautiful filmy costume. Ballard X Alberta changed their excellent singing and dancing act for one fully as enjoyable as the first. Marvin X Rogers re- ceived thunderous applause. singing another set Of southern songs and playing a new sketch. The sensation of the evening. however. was the Sa- lome dance.
