a writer of beautiful prose, for he mas

the mind. delights the ear, and gives us
the power to get near to and understand
something of the personality of Sam
Walter Foss Following are the first and
last verses of his poem, The House by
the Side Of the Road:
There are hermit souls that live with

In the peace of their self-content;
There are souls. like stars. that dwell
apart.
In fenowless armament.
There are pioneer souls that blaze their
paths
Where highways never ran;
But let me live by the side of the road
And be a friend TO man.
Let me live i'm house by the side of
the road
Where the race of men 20 by
| They are good. they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolsh--sO am |.
Then why should ! sit in the scorners
seat,
or hurl the cynlc'S ban?

the road
And be a friend To man

SENT FOR THE
GRAND JURY

The charge of having assaulted
little girl, preferred against Edward
C. Lane, was advanced another stage
yesterday afternoon, but this time it
has, momentarily, at all events, more
to do with the part that Lorrin An
drews played as prosecuting counsel.
Deputy City and County Attorney
Milverton gave evidence, and said
that the evidence before the District
Court was the same as that given be-
fore the Grand Jury.
City and County Attorney Cathcart
then took the stand. He told of his
learning that Andrews was in the
Grand jury room occupying the seat in
which witnesses usually sat. He
wanted to have Andrews sent from
the room, but this would not be Ger
mitted by the Grand jury, as the men,
bers contended that they had a right
to have Andrews present if they wish
ed. Cathcart stated that his depart
ment considered that there was no
law under which Lane could be in
dicted by the Grand jury, and he UNI
derstood that Andrews was there to
show that there was. One of the
Jurors, he did not remember who it
was, had stated that Lane ought to be
punished for a higher charge than va.
grancy, even if the law had to be
strained, or something to that effect
In cross-examination by Andrews
Cathcart admitted that with abOLt
five minutes of his arrival before the
Grand Jury, Andrews retired as ask
ed.
Judge Cooper obtained a transcript
of the shorthand notes, and after he
had perused them, said that he pre-
ferred to hear the Grand jurymen or
the matter Accordingly he made al
order directing them to appear before
him this afternoon.
