THE SAILOR WHO HAS SAILED.

Up from q mighty morning verge, From unfOund seas I came; The sunrise rode upon my surge, My Semblance was of flame The memories of early stars Gave sparkle On my crest | leaped with light and golden bars Made radiant my breast. But now my heart is torn with tides. And fraught with reek and wrack, l follow gloomy tempest guides Around bitter track. The murkiness of sunless days Is ever in my eye; And ever on my weltered ways More Daleful shadows rise. But scaling sands at length shall make My jourleying complete; Oh, may I in the darkness, break Whte-al Thy waiting feet. -Benjamin R. C. Low, from the volume of verse. The Sailor Who Has Sailed

poise. balance, clear thinking. sound
reasoning. and an all-round training for
almost any walk in life.
Central High School has one OF the
strongest faculties in the country. At its

Up to this time there had been no sus-

with which Mr.. Buck indicated that his

success at the polls led to prolonged
volleys OF laughter from the crowd.
So completely exhausted was Mr.. Buck
from his labors that he was compelled to
postpone his debut in the Winchell Smith
comedy, The Fortune Hunter" for an
hour. Miss Edith Luckett, the well
known actress. had been engaged to play
opposite Mr. Buck in the familiar drug
