"Now. when the bird from her dim recess
Behed the Lord in his burial dress
And looked on the heavenly face so pale
And the dear feet pierced with The cruel
nail
Her heart nigh broke with a sudden pang.
And out of the depth of her sorrow she
sang.
"All night long till the morn was up
She sat and sang in her moss wreathed
cup
A song of sorrow as wild and shrill
AS the homeless wind when it roams the
hill.
So full of tears. so loud and long
That the grief of the world was turned
to song
But soon there came through the weep
ing night
A glimmering angel clothed in white,
And he rolled the stone from the tomb
away
Where the Lord of the earth and heaven
lay;
And Christ arose in the cavern's gloom
And In living luster came from the tomb
Nov the bird that sat in the heart of the
tree
Beheld the celestial mystery.
And its heart was filed with a sweet de-
light.
ana II puuTeu SUM oi tne Soppibb
night;
Notes climbed notes till higher. higher
They shot to heaven like sparks OF tire.
when the glittering white robed angel
heard
The sorrowing song OF the grieving bird
And heard the following chant OF mirth
That hailed Christ risen from the earth
He said. Sweet bird. be forever plest.
Thyselt thy eggs and thy moss wreathed
nest.
"And ever my child. since that blessed
night.
When death bowed down to the Lord OF
light,
The eggs of that sweet bird changed their
hue
And burn with red and gold and blue,
Reminding mankind in their simple way
OF the holy marvel of Easter day"

About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Frank Moak, a local electrician, while
at work stringing an electric light
wire for the Cairo Electric Light &
Traction CO., was electrocuted, death
taking place after a few moments
contact with two live wires.
Moak was near the top Of pole
at the southwest corner OF Twenty
Eighth street and Holbrook avenue,
the corner nearest the residence Of
w. A. McKnight-when the accident
occurred. This pole Is used Jointly
by the Electric Co. and the Home
Telephone Co. There was q cableof
wines and few separate wires on
the pole, several of the wires belong
inE to the telephone company aud
some the property of electric light
company.
Eugene Eubanks, another linem2n
was at work short distance lower
down on the same pole. His atten-
ton was called to Moak's condition
by cries OF pain and for help, He saw
Moak with his stomach resting on
the telephone cable and his right
hand grasping two wires. Moak was
helpless. charge of 1890 volts OF
electricity was passing through his
body and he was unable to let 60
from the wires.
Eubanks. in order to release him
from the wires. had to cut them; but
the deadly work had been done anil
Eubanks brought the lifeless body to
the ground
Examination of the body discovered
no marks except burns on the thumb
and third finger of the right hand;
not burn of any kind other than
these were visible.
Coroner McManus was notified of
the accident and had the remains
taken to the undertaking parlors at

moned as follows: w F. Gibson, Ed
J. Walder George Childress, Shelby
Wright, William Kunz and Sam Yves

scented by Attorney Reed Green and

After an investigation OF an hour;
and a half examining witnesses, the
jury. desiring to probe more fully
into the cause of death, and where to
place the responsibility for the acct.
dent, adjourned until Monday morn

tional Legislature would do well to
profit by the example OF Massachu-
sets. Formerly Massachusetts dealt
with it's land and harbor legislation
just as at Washington tariff and
river and harbor laws have teen
dealt with; and there was Just the
same pulling and hauling, he same
bargaining and log-rolling, the same
subordination of the general interest
to various special Interests. Last
year, Governor Draper took up the
matter, and on his recommended on
the legislature turned the whole hus-

forthwith disappeared. incidentally,
