Thou lonely, dew-wet mountain road,
Traversed by toing feet each day,
What rare enchantment maketh thee
Appear SO gay?
Thy sentines, on either hand
Rise tamarack, birch and balsam fir
Ger the familiar shrubs that greet
The wayfarer;
But here's magic cometh new
joy TO gladden. thee, indeed:
This passionate outfowering of
The jewe-weed
That now, when days are growing drear,
AS summer dreams that she is old
Hangs out myriad pleasure bells
Of notified gold
Thine only, these, thou lonely road
Though hands that take, and naught restore,
Rob thee of other treasured things
Thine these are, for
fairy, Graded in each bloom
To all who pass the charmed spot
Whispers in warning: Friend, admire,
But touch me not!
Leave me to blossom where | sprung
joy untarnished shall seem
Pluck me, and you dspel the charm
And blur the dream!'

SAVING THE CITY,s BABIES.

The work done in the tenement districts of New

rate of infant mortality. But the work only partly
covers the city-the First and Third wards-and

ALTON, ILL.,, July 1.-When gate
slammed and his COW lost her fly
swatter, Henry Leedy fastened to a

freshly severed tail, which he bound
to bossie's stump with electricians
tape. After six weeks of idleness, the
cow was today using her new sp-
pendage with all her old-time en-
thusiasm. The new, tail, which her
owner solemnly AYERS has knit per-
fectly, is six inches longer than
her first one, giving her a longer
sweep, but her aim is not so good as
formerly. She finds 1t difficult to get
the range.

NAYIOR IN STATE
Monday Evening Speaker
Real ssSOn" of Kansas.
Born Near Tecumseh-Well
known at Washburn.

Wilson 8. Naylor. who has come
home" from Wisconsin to lecture at
the First Methodist church Monday
evening. undoubtedly ranks as one OF
the greatest orators Kansas ever pro-
duced.
He was raised on a farm out near
Tecumseh. and had to fight his way
through Washburn college on pretty
narrow financial margins. In his oay
oratory was a much bigger thing In al
the Kansas colleges than it Is now. In
tercollegiate debates had not come INTO
fashion. and intercollegiate athletics
were generally very impromptu affairs,
without hired coaches or long PERIODS
of training. Interest was all concen-
trated in the oratorical contests. ana
these annual state contests partook OF
the characteristics of the big intercol-
legiate football games Of today-only
they were generally more strenuous.
The state contests. between represent
atives of all the Kansas colleges. were
often held in the Grand Opera house in
Topeka. and whereas the present Say
football game is yelling match b. :
tween two schools, those oratorical con-
tests used to be a yelling match be-
tween ten or a dozen schools. all at
once. and all shut up inside the same
building.
for all fight as soon as the decision of
the judges was announced in which the
"rooters'' for the winning contestant
would try to occupy the stage OF the
theater. and the Kansas university dele
CATION would undertake to keep them
off. 1t got SO that managers of theaters
made the state oratorical association
give bond to cover the damage which
always resulted TO the furniture ard
fixtures of the building. when one OF
these fights was pulled off.

Sandwiched in between the yelling
and the personal encounters between
surging mobs of students, the orators
delivered their speeches in comparative
peace.
The aspiring orator had to start in
at the bot IN of long course of
training. Generally he participated in
two or three local contests at his own
school: then he competed with others
for the honor of representing his own
school. If he won, he came to the
state contest. The winner of The
state contest represented his state in
the interstate. which was participated
in between representatives of a dozen
western states. To win the interstate
was the height of oratorical ambition.
1t was better than going to the United
States senate and talking on the
tariff bill.
Mr.. Naylor. who was known as
sam Naylor during his college days,
won the state oratorical contest for
Washburn and then won the inter-
state contest as a representative OF
Kansas. He is the o. Y Kansan who
haS ever won the interstate in the
thirty years history of those con-
tests.
On Monday evening he will lecture
at the First Methodist church about
George Frederick Watts, the great
English painter. Since his college
days Mr.. Naylor has been an extensive
traveller in foreign lands and a close
student of art.
