as favorable to a policy Of general
opening Of school buildings through

a social nature. While none of the
commissioners actually opposed use
Of the school buildings as social

was that caution should be exercised
and that no policies should be de-
clared that cannot be lived up to.
This attitude was taken in discussion
Of motion presented by Commits
sioner Jahns. Mr.. Jahns moved the
mayor confer with the school board

used for social purposes. Following
discussion the motion was changed

part in Chinese history 1000 years ago.

was ruled by the Emperor Chow, a
monarch universally feared and hated
No one could depend on his favor, and
at last his best friend, the prime min

his life.
Knowing well the bloodthirsty ma

q clever scheme to escape from his

One day when he fancied that the
emperor was in a favorable mood he
preached the plan 1t was that 100 of
the strongest young men and 100 Of the
most beautiful maidens should be sent
with him on board ship to an island in
the sea which he said had been reveal

There, for the welfare of China (and
its conditions could not have been
much worse), these people were to be
sacrificed to the deities for the bene-

a sanguinary touch about the plan that
particularly recommended IT to the
bloodthirsty mind OF wicked old Chow.

LEGEND OF The
EASTER LILY

AYO flower has been more hon.
~ ored in song or story than the
imperial lily. Its purity and
its stately bearing have caused
1t to be chosen as the symbol of divin-
ity and the badge of kings.
Although in this country we under
stand by the word lily the lily Of the
valley, the stately Gala or the wonder
full harrissu or Easter lily, these are
only three varieties of very great
family, members of which are found
In all quarters of the earth. Every
where the lily has been honored and
held a sacred flower, whether by the
banks of the stored Nile or Ganges,
where, as the lotus, 1t received hon
ors little short of those accorded to
deity, or in heather Greece, where it
was consecrated to Juno, the spo1ess
yet imperious queen of Olympus, or
later In Christian countries, where the
flower was dedicated to the Virgin
Mary. No great artist when he paint
ed the Holy Mother ever forgot to
place near her the flower that was the
symbol Of her heavenly rank. 1t is
also in art the symbol of saints, mar
tyrs and angels.
The Easter lily is a native of the
east. Those now cultivated in Ber-
muda and popularity known as the Ber-

A. n. kohier to Retire.-It develops
that City Attorney Axel H. KohleT

duties as city official; in other

was made known yesterday after
noon, it being stated Mr.. Kohler

other duties keep him exceptionally
busy and he does not feel he has
sufficient time to devote to the city.
Mayor Carlson states the retiring
city attorney has been very obliging,
however, and has offered any as
sistance necessary till his successor
is named.
