An Ode to the Mississi


Thou bright, magnificent stream,
Who heads thy peaceful waters
In clear Itasca The aboriginal
simple bark
Lay unmolested upon thy placid Dos.
ON,
When DeSoto's maiden sight
Beheld thy grandeur.
Thou dark, mysterious stream,
Who finds, anon. thy confines far too
narrow
In thy course. So. impercepubly thy
waters creep
Up either bank, to reach the high
mark of other years.
When the crevasses mighty rush, en-.
CULTS
Thy grandeur in destructiveness.
Thougi thy surface with beauty ana
grandeur CLOVIS.
Quick followed by distress and woes:
Thy far.famed finder rests his head,
Securely in thy tranquil bed.

Cedar Rapids Republican: In the

Taft majority in the Chicago conven-
ton shall be large. 1t is now conceded
that Taft will have a working major

the better 1t will be for the party

At keokuk.

Marion Register: The Keokuk Gate
City SAYS that "a press dispatch sent
broadcast from keokuk said that the
power house of the Mississippi River
Power Company there was carried
down stream hundred feet where it
sank. Considering that this power
house, so far as completed, is a mass
of solid concrete third OF mile
long. over hundred feet wide and
about fifty feet high. set down twenty
FIVE feet into the limestone bottom OF
the river, that dispatch tells of the
biggest food since Noah-or tells the
biggest lie since Marco Polo. In this
part of the country It is chiefly a
commentary on the yeracity and re-
liability of some press association .
We copy in the Register not to give
further publicity TO the lie about the
washout and wash-away" OF the big
power house but that our readers may
have a better idea of its size. heighth

Down a February lane,
And now her swift feet patter
On the breast of dreams again.

And the ice may pack its grip.
There's laughter in her blue eye
And there's scorn upon her lip.
Her bosom of the blossoms
Heaves beside the open gate.
And how her red cheeks painting
Make us hungrier to wait!

The Mlsalsslnpi Flood.

From Itasca to the Delta,
From the Forest to the Sea,
Ye have rolled in rumbling thunder
Century by century.
In the silence of the ages,
Ere the first wild redman's birth,
Ye were fashioning the valley
That should nuture half the Earth.
And thy waters OF the flood-tims
Were the glory of thy toll,
Surging madly to the Interest.
Bearing life into the soil.
Rending out the first frail verdure,
But TO make 1t bloom again.
Ye, the Father of the Waters,
Wooing Earth to mother men.
And Man came. thy child defiant,
That would slave his parent:
might;
Grasped the wealth that We had gar
nered
In the dim primeval night,
Girded thee with walls and cities,
Babe thee SOW unto his sway,
And, unawed before thy power,
Made thee bear him on his way.
Ye were docile, We were gentle
In the service of thy son,
Save when came thy yearly labor
And thy work was to be done.
Fell We then upon thy offspring,
Slew him in his blind content,
While he held thee as demon
Who were but beneficent.
Still uneonquered. still the monarch
Now as OF thy barren shores,
From a thousand vassal rivers
Ger thy banks the death-tide pours
Swerveless as the fixed seasons,
Certain as the rising Sun,
ie shall tempt thy task eternal
Till the will of Man hath won.
