THE LONG DAY CLOSES.


No star il DER the lake
Its pale watch keeping,
The moon is half awake
Through gray mist creeping.
The Inst red leaves fall round
The porch of roses;
The clock hath ceased to sound,
The long day closes.
Sit by the silent hearth
In calm endeavor
To count the sounds of mirth
Now dumb forever.
Heed not how hope believes
And fate disposes;
shadow is round the caves,
The long day CLOSES.
The lighted windows dim
Are fading slowly;
The fire that was so trim
Now quivers lowly.
Go to the dreamIess bed
Where grief reposes;
Thy book of toll is read.
The long day closes.

Lessening of the resisting power Of girls
because of poor food and bad housing conditions.
Liquor the Principal Evil.
Il think the dance hall is very great factor
among the causes that lead girls astray,' said
Mrs. Britton. "Ths is true largely because in
large numbers of cases the sale Of liquor is

Fear OF /" Turkey Trot'

Well Defined Rumors in Clubs and Society Circles

1t was the turkey trot," or rather fear
OF the turkey trot," that caused Presi-
dent-elect Wilson to call on the Inaugu-
raj Ball, according to certain well-de-
fined rumors in Washington club circles
yesterday. Ever since the President
elect issued his royal request an anx-
ious search has been made for a rea-
son for his action. Now, II is claimed,
the modern" dances, such as the
turkey trot,' have been the African In

look upon the turkey trot" as
