typewriters are clipping all day long,
turning out copy. The other is In

Many complaints were made yester-
day that the animals were killed and
blame placed on members Of the city
council for authorizing the shooting
OF the animals. The council defends
their action by stating that they fear
ed the buffatoes might kill or serious

also was possible for the buffaloes to
do a great amount of damage for
which the city would be liable.

THE LITTLE ROBE or WHITE.

In rosewood cradle a baby lay,
Its mother was stitching, stitchin2
away
On little robe of white;
One foot on the rocker, she hoped to
keep
Her frolicsome baby fast asleep,
To finish her work that night.
In every stitch of the garment she
wrought,
That loving mother fastened a thought,
Hopes for the little one,
And smiled on her baby in happy pride,
AS it slept in its cradle by her side,
Till the little robe was done.
Then she folded up the cambria and
lace,
And kissed her little ones chubby
face,
That smiled in its infant glee.
She tossed 1t up and down In the air
How pretty you'll look. little, babe,
when you wear
That little new robe" said she.
In rosewood coffin the baby lay:
Its mother had wept the night away.
Watching it's dying breath.
With 1t pressed to her bosom she
prayed to keep
Her darling baby from going to sleep
In the cold, cold arms Of death.
They buried the babe in the garment
just wrought,
Whose every stitch held a hopeful
thought,
From that loving mothers sight:
On a marble stone she wrote with a
tear,
''How many hopes are buried here
In that little robe of white!'
in the Saviour's arms a baby lay,
From it's rosewood coffin far away,
In the realms of love and light.
The angels garment had folded about
Its little form, which will never wear
out
A seamless robe of white.

Americas Greatest University.


AT the Grand opera house on We'd
nesday, April Z. Lyman H. Howe VIII
depict Americas greatest university.
This particular university is unlike
any other place on earth. In the hrst
place, it is the newest, and it is anoat
on the high sea. Secretary OF the
Navy Hon. Josephus Daniels, IS aus
sponsor. The curriculum embraces
every character of instruction from
teaching spelling to new recruit u
the study of strategy by the most ex.
perienced oficers-a university OF
more than $4,000 men. Every ship ID
a school and every officer a school
master. However, 1t Is not merely
matter of imparting schoolroom or
text book instruction. This floating
universities educational system is pre-
emfnently broader than that OF any
on land. Each man Is given his cholce
Of the line Of training he wishes to
pursue. AS indicated by Howe's re-
production there is no place where
there is more to learn how TO 40
things than in the navy. The modern
battleship requires hundreds OF men
for its operation and maintenance VINO
are skilled specialists in many things
beside seamanship. One of Secretary
Daniels reasons for granting every
facility to Howe's photographers to film
all phases OF navy life was to show
civilians more clearly than they could
know from days OF reading, that our
battleships are not merely hghtlne
machines. but real educators and that
a training in naval efficiency" means
development in a man OF all his latens
power. He realized that such film
would convince civilians, as nothing
else could, of how thoroughly the navy
inculcates self-reliance and resource,
calmness, quickness Of eye and stead
mess of nerve Besides it shows how
patriotism and reverence for the flag
are impressed, how respect for duly
constituted authority is instilled and
how to live healthfully-conside
tons which are too often ignored by
so many colleges and other uniyers-
tiles.
Among the wild tribes Of the Phil
'ippines Islands" is another Of the ex-
c,usive features to be shown. 1t In
