Prose Poem.

bought some seed at grocery
store and sowed it where the lawn was
poor. thinking to have for my reward
a crop of blue grass on the yard. I
watched the young and tender sprout
puncture the soil and venture out and
fondly dreamed Of when the lawn
would be thing to dote upon. A vel

prospect of the place, and many jubi-
lating bug will tumble on my verdant
rug. The blithesome bird will come
to hop around upon the springy top,
and people passing. every one. viii
say, '.See what that man has donep'
Then It was that fear and doubt began
to follow me about, and some misgiv-
ings filed my cup concerning what was
roming up. 1t did look pretty big for

held by Judge Fullilove is most try
ing and very few of this or any COM
munity can realigZe the force OF the
evil influence directed against the
enforcement of the law as it is ap-
piled to intoxicants, and If Judge
FulliIOVe has Numbered, we should
be mindful of the fact that he is
mortal and being fallible he blum
dered honestly, but while he should
be given the fullest measure OF sin
cerity, his laundering is no less
ridiculous and senseless.
It is admitted that the best and
HE wispst of men have blHndered
and Judge Fullilove is no exception
This is not said 10 rouse his feeling
of resentment, but it is rather an
expression of pity that he should
have Numbered on 1.-The regulation
of the saloon"
And in the impartial consideration
of the attitude of Judge FulliloVe,
we should bear in mind that Ice has
expressed his personal view to
which his good friends and coun-
sellers except, as well as large
number if not the majority of the
citizens of Shreveport.
Because Judge Fullilove has said
that the law of prohibition is not
enforceable does not make il SO.
But the Caucasian will not quar-
rel with Judge FUllilove. It will lei
him alone, yet it must insist on
Judge Fullilove enforcing the laws
all of which, are enforceable, such a.
larceny and other enactments, espe-
cially the illegal traffic in intoSi-
cants which is defisd brazenly by the
Iaw-breaking element of which NJ
community is free.
1t is certainly not 10 the credit OF
any officia! to admit that a law can
not be enforced. If the law be I'M
popular its enforcement will lead
more readily to its repeal than to
permit it to stand as a mockery, a
menace to decency, and a stencil in
the nostrils of a reputable and law
respecting community.

The newspaper has but two

however. cannot be measured solely

equal value with the newspaper

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 17.-As the night a man and woman are dead, several others seriously injured and a three and one-half story tenement house completely demolished. Mem bers of five families were buried beneath the ruins and that the loss of life is no more, is considered a miracle.
 Miss Ida Martus and an uniden- tified man were the victims. The explosion, which occurred shortly after : o'clock was felt more than two miles away.
 People became. panic stricken and rushed into the streets thinking the city had been visited by am earth quake Passengers on passing street car sustained minor injuries. Every window in the car was shat tered and the pas ssengers were cut by flying glass
 According to information given out by the police, George Hoff, who lives in the second story of the building, started to the cellar with a lighted candle to get some coal leaving his wife, Mfrs. Hoff, reading a newspaper, with her ten months old child on her lap. Spectators say when the building parted from the explosion they saw her body hurled high up through the air and when she fell she hit the slantlne side of the roof and slid to the te ground. She was unconsclous but still clung to her baby, whdc' was uninjured. She is i'll the hos pital. The explosion was the four't from gas during the day
