The sky grows dim. the noisy birds are

Fret the brown rocks with angry moon

Hush them, l pray, to little tapping

For softly sleeps my baby at my

Your watch-fres now pray make

No other light have we within the cham

Home In the Heart.

Where marble shines out in the pillars
and walls;
Though the roof be of gold 1t is brilliant
ly cole,
And JOY may not be found In It's torch
lighted halls.
But seek for BOSOM all honest and
true,
Where love once awakened will never
depart;
Turn turn to that breast like dove to
its nest.
And you'll find there's no home like
the home in the heart
o link but one spirit that's warmly sin

That win heighten your pleasure and

Find a soul you may trust as the kind
and the just,
And be sure the wide world holds no

The cheek soaring tear-drops of sorrow
may start,
But star never dim sheds halo for
him
Who can turn for repose to home in

Yesterday Mr. Clendenen received
a letter from Miss Martha Cope, see
tary OF the girls basketball team of
the Paducah High school. saying they
would like to get game with the C..
H. S. girls team at an early date.
They play by Spaulding's rules for
girls five composing a team.
The substance of Mr.. Clendenen's
letter to Miss Cope yesterday was that
c. II. S. could not play their team
for several weeks because of other
dates. As Cairo and Paducah are to
have a debate here very soon Mr..
Clendenen ventured to suggest in the
letter that that would be a good time
for the boys and girls basket ball
teams of both High schools to meet
and If agreeable this could be made
an annual event. Part of his letter
Ito Mr.. Carnage, superintendent Of
schools in Paducah, was as follows
