POEMS FOR MAY

The following poems were selected by
Miss Ella V. Krieg, primary supervisor
Of the schools in Frederick county, for
use in schools during the month of May.
The Busy Bee.
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
How skillfully she builds her cell,
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labors hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.
In works of labor or of skill,
would be busy, too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.
In books, or work, or healthful play,
Let my first years be past,
That may give for every day
Some good account at last.
Isaac Watts.

The Swing.

Ihe SWING.
How do you like to go up in swing,
Up in the air 80 blue?
Oh, do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside
Till ] look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown
UP in the air go flying again,
Up in the air and down.
Robert l.. Stevenson.
DandeliOn.
Dandelion, Dandelion,
Where's your cap of gold?
Where's your jacket, green and trim
That you wore of old?
Then you nodded to the birds
In a jaunty way.
And you danced to every tune
That the breeze could play.
Dandelion, Dandelion.
Age comes creeping on,
Now your wig is snowy white, -
Golden locks are gone.
But you've had merry time
Since your days began;
And even now you are
A CHEEKY blithe old man.
George Cooper.
May Day.
Who comes this way, with smiles so gay,
And feet so lightly tripping?
A little queen, with mantle green,
From dainty shoulders slipping.
In pink and white the blossoms bright
Run swiftly out to meet her;
The brooks rejoice to hear her voice,
And robins sing the sweeter.
She came last year, the pretty dear.
All frolic, fun and dimples,
She kissed the buds, united their hoods,
And waxed apart their crimples.
The honey bee flew quick to see
The white-winged moth come after;
Oh, bonny May, in work or play,
She sets the world to laughter.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

A large crowd went from Glenwoou
to New Castle last Thursday and an
other large delegation including the
Glenwood Cowboy band went up to
Eagle, and the crowds would have
been much larger in each instance
but for the abominable weather which
the weather clerk ladled out to us for
the day. The morning was very cold
and drizzly with threatening clouds
which proved a menace to great
many who had planned to spend the
dayg in one of these neighborin
towns.
At Eagle it rained the entire day,
making it impossible to carry out the
days program of sports. The base
ball game was played in the rain, Ea-
gle winning over Red Cliff, the score
being to 10. The races and other
sports were continued to Friday
sports were continued until Friday
which proved to be a very nice day.
At New Castle the ball game was
played in the mud and the most of the
program was carried out, but the cold
and damp weather greatly curtailei
the pleasure that otherwise woull
have gone with the day.

Grand. Poles set very close together
and Mutual pole bears transformer.
IL. Third Glenwood Co. pole north
of Tenth street, alley between Colo

among Glenwood lines and in one case
have caught Glenwood wire on their

ner that the service which is drOppei
down the pole on account of telephone
lines, is born down, and as soon as in
sulation wears out cross will occur.
This might be reminded by dropping
the service farther down the Glen

W
First National Bank block, that thu
Mutual pole is set SO close to the Glen
wood pole, the latter bearing two trans
formers, that the Mutual cross arms
were necessarily set at slight angle
to avoid contact with the Glenwood
Company's pole, and the wires are
threaded in amongst the Glenwooj
wires leading down to the transformers
SO that the whole is confused tangle
And the same remarks largely apply

There are other numerous instances
of such conflicts, which could be re-
ported if time would permit, but the
foregoing are typical.
| In conclusion | recommend that bott

orable Board to strictly conform witt
all the present rules in force in tn.
specifications and practice of tht
Rocky Mountain Board of Fire Under
writers. AS long as the Mutual Com
pany's plant is not completed the dan
ger apparent by the cases given as i!
lustrations above is not imminent, but
great care should be exercised in al
details. And it is necessary to can
template the undeniable fact that the
present conditions as described aboy,
has been created by the present work
in course of construction by the Mu
tual Company, upon whom it becomes
a burden to remedy the faults pointed
out herein, and to avoid them in thu
