O, Little Maid, in Your Rosebud
Bower

o little maid, in your rosebud bower,
Dreaming of growing old,
Wishing youth always would linger,
flower,
Never in haste to unfold;
Lift from the shadow your sunshiny
head!
Growing old is nothing to dread!
o little maid, in the rose tree shade,
See how it's dry boughs shoot,
The green leaves fall and the blossoms
fade,
But youth is a living root
There are always buds in the old trees
heart,
Ready at beckon of spring to start.
o little maid, be never afraid
That youth from your heart will go;
Reach forth into heaven, thro' shower
and shade;
We are always young while we grow.
Breathe out in a blessing your happy
breath;
For love keeps the spirit from age and
from death.

The best obtainable official statistics
show that they are dying at the rate
of something over 1900 a month. and
In view Of their advancing years this
rate must inevitably in proportion rap
idly increase. To the man who risked
everything on the field of battle to save
the nation in the hour of its direst need
we owe a debt which has not been and
should not be computed in a begrudg-
ing or parsimonious spirit. But while
we should be actuated by this spirit to
the soldier himself care should be ex-
ercised not to so to absurd lengths or
distribute the bounty Of the govern
ment to classes of persons who may at
this late day from a mere mercenary
motive seek to obtain some legal rela-
ton with an old veteran now tottering
on the brink of the grave.
The true spirit of the pension laws
is to be found in the noble sentiments
expressed by Mr.. Lincoln in his last
inaugural address, wherein in speak
ing Of the nations duty to its soldiers
when the struggle should be over he
said we should "care for him who shall
have borne the battle and for his wild
ow and orphans"

Similar proceedings are pending in

Because of the depth, at times as

Discussion Before Equal Suffrage
League Shows Importance

large and very enthusiastic join,
meeting OF the local cnapter of tho
Virginia College wonlen's Association
and the Equal Suffrage League OF
Virginia was held yesterday from tc
6 II. A., in the reading rooms of the
league, at 3o7 East Franklin street.
Mrs. 3. B. Valentine presided at the
meeting and directed the discussion,
which was opened by an able and In
structive talk from DR.. Emily c. Run
yam on the necessity and Importance
of medical inspection of schools. thcir
surroundings. and of the children in
the schools. Comparison OF what had
been done in countries of Europe and
South America showed that the United
states still had much to do. DR.. Run.
yam said that the question of medical
inspection was closely related to the
work of the visiting nurse In tho
school room
Miss Gully, of the Visiting Nurses
Association, who has recently been
appointed to duty in the High School
Of this city. followed DR.. Runyan
and gave the result of her practical
experience in the clearest and most
impressive manner.
Mrs. j. " Durham president of the
College Women's Association, took up
the matter from the financial stand
point She said that for q child to-
have TO repeat his or her course in the
public schools was an expensive mat
ter to the city and State. That medi-
cal inspection in schools reduced the
percentage of those who had to repeat
courses and should therefore be es-
tablished. That women in Manchester
had taken tho matter up and deter
mined to have medical inspection a.
soon as possible. That on such a.
point, Manchester would certainly be
ahead of Richmond.
Miss Martha Bowie made few per-
! tinen, remarks at the close of Mrs.

Then State Superintendent Eggles-
! ton. who was present, complimented
| the women on the stand they had ia
| ken In Behalf or the children In the

! most important and begged that the
, women would not let their interest
cease, nor their efforts in its behalf
