Easy Street.

The things you hear of Easy Street
Would the impression give
That II must be a treat to see
And quite the place to live.
We credit 1t with pomp and wealth
In making up the sheet
But is all happiness and wealth
Confined to Easy Street?
Not on your life--to put the thing
In terms denoting heat,
Fine work is done and folks have fun
Afar from Easy Street.

Sleep, o my little ones, sleep,
Safe till the daylight be breaking.
We have long vigils to keep,
Haryests to SOW while you sleep,
Fair for the hour of your waking,
Ripe for your sickles to reap.
Sleep, o my little ones, sleep,
Yours is the golden tomorrow,
Yours are the hands that will reap
Dreams that we sow while you sleep,
Fed with our hope and our sorrow,
Rich with the tears that we weep.

IDENIIFYHIM SAYS He is A CITIZEN
Father Robert Hughes Also Declares
That He Pays Taxes On Property
In County
From Wednesdays Daily.

Rev. Father Robert Hughes regards
as joke the assertion in the answer
of the defendants in the case of Robert
Hughes versus the Board of Educa-
ton of this city and Superintendent
F. j. operry, mat they on informa-
tion and belief deny that Father
Hughes is taxpayer in the city of
Mankato; also the claim that he is
not a citizen of the state Of Mime
sofa nor of the United States. He
was asked this morning by a Free
Press representative if these two
assertions were true and he replied:
81 regard them as a joke" He
further stated that although he does
not pay taxes on property in the
city of Mankato he owns property in
the county and in four or five other
counties in this state. He has own
ed property in the city, but short
time ago gave a lot which he pos.
sessed to one of his relatives.
Regarding his citizenship, Father
Hughes stated that he was citi-
zen of this state and that he had
for the last thirty or more years
been in the habit of voting at every
election.
