on 4 HILL STREET CAR.


A piece of old junk that is not worth
a song,
Is slowly dragging its odd length
along.
Babies are fretting; old men, asleep:
Passengers standing on each others
feet.
Students are wearing a CHASTITY smile
AS the clock strikes six:-and over a
mile
To reach the old school, looming up
IN the distance,
On a Hill st. car grooming loud for
assistance.
And they mutter and sputter IN wild
lamentations
AS they go humping along amid awful
sensations,
Til it's brought to a halt with a clang
and a groan
And the people alight with a sigh and
& moan.
They can shatter and smash the old
car If they will,
But the jolts and the bruises will
cling to them still.

ANOTHER MEMORIAL TO
NNrWrWlGyTUNWD

There is a happy justification for
the placing of a memorial to Daniel
Webster on the common of the South
Shore town that was more than any
other place his home. Marshfield is
not greatly changed from the quiet
rural town that was the scene of his
times of relaxation and of his faithful
farming. 1t merits a marking of the
country's association of the statesman
with its marshes and its short rocks.
Amply warranted as is the local claim
to distinction through its great citizen,
there IS the national reason for re-
newal through the tributes that Will
next month be paid him there of the
sense of a peoples obligation to him.
Note was recently made of the ma
tional character of the names that had
been shifted from those of local fame
in Boston and its showing of a full
half hundred that American history,
however broadly read, may not spare.
If the list were reducible to a single
name there would be not dissent from
the selection of Webster. He was,
however, hardly Boston's and hardly
New England's, but there is a sense
in which he was distinctly Marsh
fields.
Sen. Lodge and John d. Long will
have an ample occasion for their elo-
quence in the dedication of the me-
mortal that the Daughters of the
Revolution have provided. Rufus
Choate's Grafton, comprehensive as it
was, only opened the theme that New
England has attentively heard her
later orators expand. There is per-
petual need of reminder TO the nation
of that service of the greatest of New
England statesmen, his arOusing of the
sense of nationality that made possible
the preservation of the union in its
supreme test. There is another time
illness in the topic in the need of re-
freshing the example of his towering
patriotism. And still another in the
recalling of the deprecations he had
TO withstand, how little they counted
in lessening the power of his pleading
and how completely they failed to OBJ
scure his ideas.-ChCisian Science
Monitors.
