They sat upon a boulder
That looked toward the sea.
The wild waves washed the pebbly beach;
The gulls dipped gracefully
To catch the flying, slvery spray,
But nature had no power
With all her charms to draw one glance
In this most solemn hour.
Il hey noted not the glorious sun,
The bright and cloudless skies,
But found a source of pure delight
Within each others eyes.
The minutes and the hours flew by,
And still they sat alone.
He held her slender fingers
Tightly elasped within his own.
The sun shone on; the waves rolled high,
Just as they did before,
But naught say they Of light or shade
or heard the oceans roar
At last he whispered, Will you be
My love- my bride, my wife,
And walk together hand in hand
Along the road OF life?'
She laid her head upon his breast,
In manner shy, demure;
Then raised her melting glance to his,

An Encouraging Example of Public Spirit.

The favorable response of Robert Cowell to
the requests that he stand as a candidate for
the Board OF Education must be real encour-
agement to all who desire civic awakening in
Omaha. Eight places are to be filled on the
School Board at the coming election, and our
most enthusiastic hope would be to have enough
men OF high standing and ability In the running
to make that body when reconstructed measure
up to somewhere near Mr.. Cowelrs standard
The example he has set in consenting to serve
the public in this strictly honorary capacity
should help induce other desirable citizens to
similar sacrifice for the public good
For ourselves The Bee gives notice here and
now that It will not support any known dis
reputables or grafters for School board places
no matter by whom proposed or championed,
but will consider the merits of the men them
selves, and their freedom from selfish aims and
hidden entanglements. Nothing will reinstate
our school management quicker in the public
esteem and strengthen II in the public conf
denee so much as entrusting these responsible
duties to Mr.. Cowell and public spirited citizens
like him.
