"sword song and battle roar,
And the great grim fighting line!
And what of the woman in the door
And the blown grape on the vine?
Drum beat and draped flag
End he beneath his shield
And what of the woman weeping
low,
And the dead grain in the field?"

oFFHAND REFLECTIONS

Dickinsonians might do we'll to
guard against the operations of q
man who worked a melon grower
near salina. The man represented
himself to the grower as a special
policeman sent out to make inquiry
as to thefts from this particular
growers patch. The grower let the
man into the patch--and didn't watch
him. The visitor selected some choice
melons, carried them to the river
nearby, dumped them in his boat
and rowed away. However, such an
occurrence here is improbable. Dick
iason melon growers are too old at
the game and they usually are able
TO do their own investigating.

fered on many points from a sworn
statement he made last night.
