We two sat here alone
AS two twin Kings Of equal might
Sit side by side athrone.
While cons came, and cons went,
In Ceaseless passing flight,
And all was still as dungeons deep,
And black as moonless night
Then age by age-a million years
We watched the Sun take form,
While through the void in endless count,
The Stars were being born.
And then from out unfathomed Space,
We saw the world appear.

And gave to me my Name.

BAD WEATHER IN WEST
Italians Continue to Push For
ward in Isonzo and are
East of Gorilla.

London, Aug. 11.-Although bad
weather is hampering the British and
French maneuvers in the west, both
the Italians and Russians are keeping
up their strong offensives against the
Teutonic allies, respectively in Aus
tria and Galicia-and at last reports
had made additional gains.
On the Isonzo front the Italians
have continued to throw their forces
across the river and have fought their
way to the east of the captured city
of Gorilla. The prisoner toll is placed
at 10000.
In addition southwest of Gorilla
they have taken strong Austrian en-
trenchmentS near Monte San Michele
and Monte San Martina and also &C.
cupied the town of Bischini, giving
them a freer hand for their operations
in the region of the Doberdo plateau
and southwark toward the Monfal-
cone sector. Large numbers of pris-
onerS were taken in the fighting.
Owing to the inclement weather in
France, military activity has been
confined principally in commandments
which were somewhat heavy north
of the Somme and in Thiaumont work
near Verdun. An attempted German
advance against the British line south
of Martinpuich was put down by the
of trench mortars and machine guns
according to London.

and the public generally will find
some interesting programs of forty
years ago, when the closing exercises
of Ferrell's High School were held
at old Mozart Hall, where Hotel Lath-

display of fervid oratory. Forty
years is a considerable stretch OF
time, but a good many of the partici-

will be on the platform tonight and
some of them will make the same
speeches made then. The program
tonight will be the most unique en-

Injuries May Be Fatal As the
Little Girl Was Render
ed Unconscious.
CAR OF A. A. FURGERSON
Was Travelling AT a High
Rate of Speed On East
Seventh Street.

Nellie May Charlton, aged IL,
daughter of Albert M. Charlton, was
probably fatally injured Thursday
afternoon at about six o'clock, when
she was struck by an automobile
driven by A. A. Furgerson. The ac-
cident occurred just in front of the
child's home at Seventh and Railroad
streets, as she started across the
street.
The machine, according to eye wit
nesses, was going rapidly for city
travel. The machine struck the girl
and threw her heavily and ran over
her.
The most serious injury she sys-
tanned was a complicated fracture of
the skull at the base of the brain.
Her physicians state her condition
is critical. Furgerson did not stop
his car for some distance and later
surrendered to the police, who held
him under bond to answer to the
charge of assault.
Until recently he was a saloon
keeper doing business at II North
Virginia street.
Paul Winn was sitting in front Of
his Office in plain view Of the acct
dent He tells the following story:
"The child was playing with her
little sister and another child on the
opposite side of the street. She
started across the street after one au-
tomobile had passed. Mr.. Furger-
sons car was coming about seventy
five feet behind the first car at a high
rate of speed. He did not sound a
whistle or horn. There were no other
vehicles near at the time. The child
was within three feet of the curbing
when the car struck her. II hit her
fairly with the front of the car and
ran over her, both wheels on the
fright hand side passing over her body.
She was knocked unconscious, cut,
lacerated and bruised and thrown
against the curb. The car did not
make any attempt to slow up or stop
but went on. Ipicked the girl up
and carried her into the house. Mr..
George Clark, who also saw the ac-
cident, saw that | had ran to pick up
the child, and stopped the car. d"
Mr.. Clark was on his way home
and was crossing the railroad, about
twenty feet from the accident when
it occurred. He tells virtually the
same story of the tragic occurrence
as Mr.. VIM.
The car that passed in front was
that of T. M. Jones.
The child was doing satisfactorily
yesterday although the doctors con-
slider her injuries very serious and
painful. The skull is fractured on the
base near the right ear.
Mr.. Furgerson, who was arrested
by officers Chlorine and Hawkins
Thursday night on charge \of mali
cious assault, was held on bond until
Tuesday morning at 8 O'Clock, when
examining trial before City Judge
Hunter Wood, Jr., will be held.

9th was legally past at $3.50 o'clock

Bush's successor will be elected this

would have been no doubt. The
election begins at 6 a. m. Nov. Z and
counting days and nights to the hour,
Aug. Z at 6 a. m. would be three
