The Lost Souls OF the Titanic.

Hank! cries were heard above the
deeps
Loud heart-rending piercing shrieks
OF lives that were lost whom none
could save
For dark waves washed them into a
silent grave.
Down into the deep where huge rep
tiles lie in wait
Tormentors OF hell-glad of human
bait
To feast upon. There those bones
will bleach
In silence. For no mortal hand can
reach
Them, 'mongst the realms of coral
grand
Unknown horrors of an unknown land.
But the souls, were the souls too lost
in the deep,
In the darkness of night did they
sweep
Into the maelstrom of the River of
Onward, ever onward, not counting
the cost,
Eternal life; Led on by the glitter of
gold,
BY the smiles and the signs of the
young and the old,
The way so pleasant, the path so
smooth,
Who would choose the other, unplea-
SAINT and rude,
And full of briars and thorns-bleed-
ing feet
From climbing the rocks high and
deep.
Rest in Peace, oh, we souls, if the
rough path we trod
It'll you stand before your Maker,
Lord and God"

GOT IN WRONG WITH WRIGHT
Either Never Write, or Never Lie
About Your Writings, is Moral Of
Murdock's Experience.

Back In the days when Wilbur
Wright was demonstrating that the
art of splitting clouds wide open with
an aeroplane was both easy and prac-
teal, Victor Murdoch who owns O
newspaper in Kansas and occupies
seat in congress, wrote for his paper
a three-column article, praising Wright
in glowing, glittering, and dazzling
phrases.
Shortly after that Murdoch, who, for
political and other reasons, always
says he never writes anything that ap-
pears in his paper, attended an aero
plane meet, and was approached by a
quiet young man who was evidently
newspaper correspondent
MIR. Murdoch" said this intruder,
81 enjoyed immensely your article on
aeroplanes, and | was wondering If
you would tell me how you"
mo, no! And again, MOI" exclaim-
ed Murdoch, Il never write anything,
and | never give interviews on what
appears in my paper"
Whereupon the young man subsidized
into the crowd.
That might at banquet given in
honor of the aeronauts, Murdoch was
seated opposite Wilbur Wright, and in
break in the chorus of talk, Muir
dock leaned across the table, and said
urbanely:
"Mr. Wright, l hope you saw that
article | wrote and published in my
paper about you, and"
He got no further. Right there was
the blowup, the crestfallen finish. Will
bur gave him stony stare, and in the
flash of moment Murdoch had roc,
ognized in Wright the man who had
accosted him earlier in the afternoon.
THE moral of that" said Murdoch,
in telling the story, lis: Either never
write, or never lie about your writ.

SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.

independence day is coming. Shall
it be day of death, mutilation, lock-
jaw, powder-poisoning and devastation
| by fire, or shall it be safe and sane,
educational, with healthful games ard
amusements? 1t is up to each city,
town and village to decide.
All intelligent citizens must realize
that the insane and barbarous manner
of celebrating the Fourth does not
teach patriotism, and has nothing TO
recommend it,
The revolt against the insane manner
of celebrating this historic holiday has
brought excellent results. The deaths
and accidents last year were fewer
than in any previous year on record
Still the toll was 81 dead and 1903
manned or blinded for life.
July 4th, 1908, when fireworks were
allowed in the City of Washington, l04
people, mostly children, were taken to
the various hospitals of the city for
treatment, the following Fourth, with
fireworks strictly prohibited, not one
single person. You can help to make
g. ike commendable record for your
city.
Fire Chiefs and Fire Wardens should
see that all inhammable rubbish in
yards and alleys is cleaned up before
the Fourth.
municipalities or civic bodies should
provide suitable amusements and ex-
ercises for the young, calculated both
to entertain and to instil valuable
lessons Of patriotism.
Police officers should be familiar
with and strictly enforce the city or
dinances and the state law relating to
fireworks.
Attention is here called to Chapter
3l3, Laws of 1911, which reads as fol-
lows: "No person shall sell or keep
for sale or manufacture, or bring into
the state for use therein, any skyroc-
MUS, HtoWOThS VI uTSCfdCh6TS, COu-
tanning pieric acid, pierates, chlorate
of potash compound, dynamite, mixture
of dynamite or other high explosive
mixture, pellets or tablets compounded
of any of the foregoing or other high
explosive mixtures, explosive canes
using blank cartridges or explosive
paper caps, blank cartridge pistols, or
any firecrackers more than three
inches in length and one-half of an
inch in diameter"
A penalty of $50 to 800 fine, or one
to six months Imprisonment or both
fine and Imprisonment is fixed.
Attention is also called to Section
4397a OF the Revised Statutes, which
section prohibits the use, sale and pos
session of toy pistols, toy revolvers or
toy firearms, under heavy penalty.
Let the day bring joy, but not loss,
grief, sorrow and suffering.

State Fire Marshal.
