Bish K. Ibble Proves
 He Is a Versatile Poet
AT THE WINDOW.
tBy Bish K. Ibble.)

I used to see her every day,
 This charming little iass,- The blue eyed tot across the way,
 With nose against the glass; I'd wave my hand at her, and she,
 With smile that showed delight, Would dance and throw kiss at me ? And watch me out of sight. Each morning when I passed the
 place, E+u. l knew that I would gain A welcome from this baby face
 Against the window pane. Dear little tot with laughing eyes, In simple frock arrayed. You'll never know how much I priys The friendship you have made. What joy to me. when at the cicss Of business, would pass That way again, and see her nose Pressed flat against the glass. With smile of recognition which
 Would melt a heart of stone, This fascinating little witch
 Would greet me there alone. The dainty kiss that she would blow Off dimpled fingers fair,- Her little features all aglow
 Betwixt the curtains thcrc,-- My cup of happiness would i'll, And soothe my weary brain. Then eagerly I'd wait until I passed that way again. Of course know that was not
 The only favored one,
 I his charming, roguish blue eyed tof Had others sou fhp yfInns And yet no favorites she played, (She couldn't if she tried,) .' We simply loved this little maid, k And all were satisfied Alas, with eager eyes one day I looked for her in vain,- q My little friend was not at play Or at the window pane And then with vision somewhat
 blurred, I saw as I passed by, A placard red,-with fearsome word, \ Which told the reason why. A week perhaps, or maybe more, \ My heart was filled with dread, And then, some ribbon on the door
 Proclaimed that she was deadi ' Poor little tot with short career
 She did her humble best To fill her little day with cheer, Before she went to rest Strange are the ways of Death, thaS
 The baby by the hand,-- Strange are the ways of Life, which make It hard to understand
 Just why the Reaper took this psf--4I It's far beyond our ken,- Some, when the sun of life has set
 Have reached four score and ten But if we live beyond life's dsy.
 And reach the dusk of night, Where somber shadows cross the wa
 And blot the fading light When eyes are dim,--we long for s1ee
 That knows no 'wakening fears, And chide the lettering hours tha
 keep
 Us breathing on for years. I stood beside her little grave
 And tears came down like rain No more her little hands will wave At me through window pane. l wonder if she'u look for me
 Tn Heavenly regions fair, Perhaps she's watching, full of giee Up at the Window there.

days by Police Justice Cation this
morning for the reckless driving OF
an automobile, this being the first
/ time that Jail sentence has been i'm
posed in the police court for this Oh
Tense. In announcing the sentence
Justice Cation said that while &C
cidents were liable to happen to any
! enc and sometimes could not be
averted, in this case it was shown
that the driver of the machine was
under the influence Of liquor and was
therefore incapable Of properly handl-
ing his machine.
Pain was driving his machine in
various sections of the city yesterday
in a reckless manner and last night
collided with buggy on Shooters
Hill near Walnut street. The bug
gy, which was driven by young
man and contained lady passenger,
was drawn up on one side of the
road for the automobile to pass wnen
it was struck by the machine and
practically demolished, both the man
and the woman being thrown fro the
vehicle. Luckily they escaped with
slight bruises, although the young
woman was badly frightened.
Pain was arrested by officer Gill
who witnessed the accident. A number
of witnesses testified that the man
had been driving at fast rate ear
her in the day.
After court had adjourned Justice
Cation RENTED the jail sentence in
view of number of recommendations
he received as to Pains haracter.

CONTESTED
City School Board VIII Meet TomorI
row Night to Consider Cues
ton of Accommodations

While +he the trouble will be tenn
rorarv the City School Board is
again up against the proposition OIL
how to accommodate the many chill
dren who have secured permits 10
attend the public schools. Whlle bais
has been chronic perplexity, especial
ly at the beginning of school sessions
# has assumed a more serious phase
since the annexation of surrounding
territory. The congestion IS general
ly caused by the increasing number
of small boys who appear for tuition.
Ir past years the age limit was seven
years; six-years-old youngsters can
i enter the schools under the present
law.
The schools are now overcroWdeG
to such an extent that additional
school facilities will be required pend
ing the completion of the new hlgn
school building. The school trustee
will hold called meeting tomor-
row night to consider securing au-
ditonal temporary school quarters
for the children.
Already in some schools two cnil-
Gren are seated at desk intended
for one, and the school floor space Is
congested, it is reported.
More than 200 children now have
temporary quarters in the hall oVe'
the Richmond theatre. Even with the
additional floor space more room is
needed for handling the 2, 200 pupils
The lack of space is among the white
pupils exclusively. there being an
abundance of room at the two schools
where the colored children attend.
/ The school population this term Is
heavier than in any recent year. Il
is realized by members of the board
that something will have to be done
at once to relieve conditions pending
! the completion Of the new high school
! building, which will hardly be ready
before the beginning of next year.
