pain and poverty! Since mother died,
all the old lonsinss that I thought long
since were crushed, all the old, vague
desires have come TO me again thou

full deep life are here again o, Moon
Of my Desire! Is happiness for me just
like that pale cold orb shining beyond
this earthly Kingdom here7
why are we humans such strange, rest
less things, with vague resolves that melt
like snow before the heat Of selfshness?
Why are We given souls to ache over
our own sad faIlirgs and our pain? We
struggle on like children in the dark
Light half-beilc, RS of our casual oreeds:
Who never deeply felt, nor clearly wiled,
Whose insieht never has borne fruit in desa2
Whose vague resolves never nave peeh iul-

was dressed was most severe, dragged
tightly back over each ear with one great
1eweled pin projecting at the side,
thought they looked so pretty, yet some
had an artificial air-the color in their
cheeks seemed sometimes hard and fixed,
so different from the glow that cold WINDS
and sea breezes bring. How wealthy they
must be to dress like that, thought ana

RAIDS ARE MADE BY
 PAGAN AND SQUAD

Chief Eagan and his raiding squad were "out' last night
 Two alleged gambling houses were flushed in which over a score oe ar rests resulted and several disorderly jouses were caught violating the law. Chief Eagan said he felt that his raids had been successful as those that were not caught were badly scared and would not be likely to open ur in the near fu- ture.
 You got to keep after them." said Act ing Chief Martin Eagan, last night, "as they have well paid spie right in the police department and whenever the coas st is clear everything will open up in Jig time. And then you can't always follow the same plan, but must always make changes so that it will keep the mem- pers of the underworld guessing. And again you can't plan raids in advance as sthe news will invariably leak out. You We simply got to order your men to raid whenever you feel that fine law is being violated and take a chance on catching the violators. It means everlasting vigil ance.

WOOTEN RESIDENCE
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Damage Is Estimated at $10,000-Family Was
  Downtown

The residence of w. L. Wooten, 320 Earle avenue, Graymont was practi- cally destroyed by fire, which broke out at o'clock last night. The dam age is estimated at s1o.00O. It is par tially ogered by insurance.
 No o' was at home at the time Of the firN and Mir. Wooten only arrived in time to see his home go up in flames. MT. Wootens family was in town and he left the house earlier in the evening to meet them in town It is the theory of the firemen that MT. Wooten left fire in the house and that the blaze originated from this source
 The fire was discovered by neigh bors and an alarm turned in by tele- phone. The Graymont station an swered the call, hut the fire had gained such headway before the alarm was received that they were able 10 do lit tie but check the flames.
 Naighbors of MT. Wooten were high ly indignant last night at the alleged poor telephone service. 1t was said that there was considerable delay in connecting the fire department and to this is attributed the headway which the fire gained.

 Entirely False
