To the Mountain Girl

Girl of the mountains free,
Strong as the forest tree,
Eyes like the eagles own, keen
as q sword.
Swift are your buck skinned feet,
Just as the great deer feet,
Hunted by man for his wilder

Great is your courage true.
Fear was not born in you,
Neither Of man. or of beast, or
of bird.
Grand is your honesty.
Life is not phantomsy.
Bravery: the armor with which
you are gird.
Large is your natures store,
knowledge of wilds galore,
Simple your life in the wood
land so fair.
You are The truest one

Life is so hard. yet you falter
not there.
You make your blessings go
Far as the frosty snow,
When II is loosened from
heaven above.
Girl of the mountains free,

Learning the lessons of heav-
enly love.

Boiling the Lobster

Boiling over a slow fire is the
happiest death a lobster can
meet, so it has been determined
at the Jersey marine biological
station. The experiments were
carried out by Joseph Sinel, q
well known biologist, for the
Jersey Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty TO Animals. whose
members associated the preva-
lent method of killing Holsters
with medieval torture. Lob.
sters. says Mr.. Sinel, are ex-
tremely difficult to kill. Pierre
ing the brain does not seem 10
cause the lobster more than tenn
porary annoyance, since his
brain is a mere ganglion the
size of hempseed. He has to
be killed all over. To throw him
into boiling water fails TO do
the work either mercifully or
quickly, since he struggles vic.
Iently to escape for about two
minutes. The pleasantest way
70 end a lobster's troubles. Mr..
Sinel finds. is the old fashioned
way of placing him in cold
water and bringing him to a boil.
As the water warns he becomes
merely lazy and rolls over as
'or a sleep. By the time the
water reaches the comparatively
mild temperature of 20 degrees.
Fahrenheit. he becomes coma
ose. At so degrees he is dead.
10 use a human illustration, the
biologist says it is like a person
uccumbing to a heat wave, with
he loss of consciousness and
painless end.

In an article on the swimming
races held here Saturday at the
Oaks, the Sunday Journal had the
following to say concerning a st.
Johns boy:
Bryant Kilkenny, a 1S-year-
old st. Johns boy. entered in
dependently. was one of the fea-
lures of the race. Swimming
always with steady stroke. he
managed TO crowd his way into
the select first five. finishing the
distance in l:44:S7. He was fol-
lowed all way by his father in a
canoe, and the father was
the happiest man in
the world as the race was fin
ished.

price si.Oo per year.

1t is a matter to be greatly de-
plored that st. Johns has no
cemetery. The population of
the city is increasing all the
while, and as a natural conse-
quence more deaths are record
ed from year to year. And
there is no place within the city
for our people to bury its dead.
Therefore, the expense of a
funeral is greater than it other
wise would be, and the relatives
and friends of the deceased
have a greater distance to go to
care for and visit the graves.
1t is extremely doubtful if there
is a city of equal population any
where within the United States
that does not possess a burying
ground. The need of such a
place has been realized for q
number of years by our people,
and several efforts to secure q
cemetery have been made by i'm
dividuals at different times. but
always fell through before they
fully materialized. Many cities
own and control burying grounds
as a city institution. II would
seem that st. Johns might adopt
like plan. If offers of suitable
ground for the purpose were
advertised for, il is believed that
tracts would be offered at a rea-
sonable price. IL might be stip.
ulated in the call for proposals
that the city would not pay over
a certain price for acreage, so
that owners would know that an
exorbitant price would be futile
TO ask. A cemetery owned by
the city could be made to pay
all costs and be self supporting,
il is believed. Five or six acres
would probably be all that would
be needed. The matter is
worthy of some consideration at
least. Probably the Smith prop
erty on Burlington street. which
the city recently acquired. might
be turned in as part payment.

A great many state legisla-
lures have given consideration
to bills taxing bachelors, and
many convincing arguments
have been presented why men
who escape matrimony should
pay a penalty. but why not tag
them as a more painless and
effective method of extermina-
ton? If the bachelors were
tagged the widows could easily
find them and Cupid would do
the rest. The bachelor is natur-
ally timid, but under the en-
couraging influences of a merry
widow he can easily be led to
the altar, for there is no more
helpless craft ahoat than a love-
sick swain who has passed the
age of discretion. and the little
imp that plays ping pong with
human hearts has no more
capable ally than a woman who
loves at second sight. for exper-
ience makes Cupid subtle and
bold. The women have tag
days 10 promote most every
other public enterprise, and why
not a tag day for bachelors?
We have in Oregon approximate
ly fifty thousand bachelors and
an equal number of widows.
Why not get them together and
solve two veXatious problems
with one marriage license?-

Complaining young man. q
word to you. Are you finding
fault because the world isn't
doing the right thing by you!
Do you think your hours Of SER
vice are too long, your wages too
low, and your work too hard
Kindly ask your father in the
light of his experience what he
thinks about il,
Let him tell you what the
hours of labor were when he was
a boy-the meagre wages he
received, the unsanitary sur
roundings of the shop. the lack
of holidays or even half holi-
days, the early call TO duty and
the late blowing of the whistle
when evening came.
Your father knows about il,
especially If he is native born.
If he came from a foreign land
within recent years, he may not
recognize all the wonderful
changes in industrial conditions
that have signalized the pro-
gress of this country since the
terrible war between the States.
Let your father tell you of the
frugal home of his boyhood days,
the meagre fare. the lack of
luxuries. and the absence of
summer vacations. Let him tell
you how happy he and your
mother were under conditions
that to you would impel a spirit
of revolt.
Young man, the world has
moved. You are far better off |
than your father was. You are
enjoying shorter hours, better
wages, more holidays. and your
regular summer vacation. All
the surroundings in your office,
shop or factory are much better
than your father had. AT your
home there are soft carpets on
the floor. curtains and screens
on the windows, sanitary bath
ing apparatus and a telephone.
There are not only sewing ma
chimes for the good mother. but !

A regiment of soldiers. well
drilled and handsomely uniform
ed. is an inspiring spectacle.
but the other side of the picture
is less thrilling. The pathos of
war is represented by the moth
ers and wives at home. They
are not drilled, and they cannot
get the courage that comes from
touching shoulders. Theirs is
an individual battle. a fight for
strength and patience to watch
and wait. No wonder women
hate war.

Laurens, June 21.--A mistrial was
ordered this morning shortly after 8
o'clock by Judge Frank B. Gary in
t1e case of Joseph G. Sullivan, who
was placed on trial in the court Of
general sessions for Laurens county
Friday morning, charged with the
murder of Col. John NJ. Cannon at
Gray Court, May r. T1e jury in the
case was discharged and the court
formally adjourned after the judge
directed that the defendant be held
for the next term OF the court on
bond Of 5000. the same amount
allowed when the young prisoner was
admitted to bail week after the
homicide The same sureties signed
the bond this morning and the defend
ant soon thereafter left for his nome
in Sullivan township, accompanied by
his father and brother, VINO remain
ed in the city during the night.
AS stated in these dispatches last
night, the case was given to the jury
shortly before o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. After deliberating on the
case for some time, the jury filed back
into the court room and asked for
further explanation on some points at
issue in the trial. This was given and
again the jury retired. At midnight
it was evident to the outside that
on a verdict would be
the result, but there was no indica-

about the Schools.

All pupils who failed either partly
or completely may stpdy and be
examined by the superintendent for
promotion in September.
Prof. Holloway, assisted by Mrs.
Norwood and others, who will be de-
signated, if needed, will conduct d
short summer scnool at the high
school for the benefit Of pupils of any
grade w1o may attend.
Our city school system is in debt.
Yet the schools have been run most
economically and with insufficient
teaching force, and in spite Of the fact
that $496.O7 more was collected from
private tuition than last year.
Counting the Helena teacher, we
have had two full teachers more than
in former years, and still the system
shauld have six more West End
school needs an additional teacher.
Speers street school needs an add
tional teacher. The hign school
ought to have one more teacher, pre-
ferably a man. At the Hoge colored
school where one teacher enrolled
169 pupils and another 13S there ought
to be n-uvided at least two more
teachers. The schools ought TO have
an equipment for shop work, mechani-
cal drawing, etc, TO cost not less than
$500, and good man to direct the
work. The high school needs larger
building and larger auditorium.
Newberry is paying only eight mills
for schools, not counting the one
extra mill for repairs which will soon
expire. 10 meet the present demands
and the outlook for the future New
herry's school levy ought to be at least
nine and half mills regular tax with
a quarter OF mill bond for improve
ments in buildings, repairs and equip
ment, making total OF nine and
three quarters mills, just three quar-
ters of mill more than is being paid
this year. I believe that this, while
very small increase, will provide
adequately for the present needs OF
the schools, and that Newberry can
have on less than ten mills school
system as good as any in the State,
while many of the cities are having TO
pay much more than that.
Supt. Swearingen's report shows
taat Greenwood pays II 34 mills, Lat
ia Is, aMrion Is, Dillon Is 3-4, Saluda
121-2, Pickens IS, and so on, great
many paying ten or more for schools.
