THE MOON OF MARCH.
When the March moon shines, De
ware! - ...
There is witchcraft in the air
Magic--mischief
Who so falls beneath the spell,
Suffers things | may not tell
Sorceries unspeakable!
Ghosts and goblins-pnantoms pale
Haunt the wood and throng the dale
Rise and pass-and leave no trail!
Wail1ng voices vaguely cry
To the unresponsive sky
On the lawless winds go by!
Hedge and stump and wayside tree
Common things we daily see,
Clothe themselves in mystery.
Trees and fences in the CLEAN
Strange, uncanny shapes assume
Threatening danger, wrath and doom.
Then the Moon-Maid overhead
Strand by strand and thread by
thread
Doth net of Silver spread.
Woe unto the luckless wight
Who shall feel its meshes tight
Drawing round him in the night!
Howso'er he tug and strain
He shall not be free again
Cobwebs still will cloud his brain.

State Law Adequate.

The state law prohibits the sale of
firecrackers and noise-making com.
bustibles. Under this head comes
the caps for canes. and the ncise-
making pellets which are frequently
used on the street car tracks. This
law pretty thoroughly covers the
sane Fourth question the women be.
lieve. and they are asking its enforce
ment.
The commissioner agreed with
them, 1t was stated by one of the
women who comprised the commit
tee, and promised to call the law to
the attention of the retailers who are
in the habit of handling firecrackers
and fireworks and other explosives
Several injuries, one or two of them
quite serious, were reported as the
result of the Fourth Of July celebra-
tons in Keokuk last year. These,
the committee told Mr.. Collins, had
aroused sentiment in favor of sanity
in observing the nations birthday.
