Cafe de VoyageurA Choosing the
seat which he had occupied that
morning, he ordered q iqueur and
sat for an hour contemplating the
crowd. Again he perceived that
the proprietor was absent; but
this time the head waiter did not
approach, or even meet his glance.
He thought, for 9 moment, Of
calling him and asking for Gro
chard; but he finally decided that
that would be too great an indis-
#cretion. Besides, as Crochard had
pointed out, in this affair it was

him to receive instructions, not to

called to them because they were
both quite new. / looked at them
closely to make certain that they
were genuine, and noticed that
they were numbered consecutive

them to remain in my memory was
the striking appearance of the per-

Lcpine's heart was throbbing
with triumph.

"Ah, SIR" said the clerk,
that is just it. Il was not a man,
but a girl-a girl Of il or 20. That
is what drew my attention. It is
not usual to have 9 girl like that

Decoration Day.
by Robert Lee Campbell)

kby hODerC Lee CampDell)
This poem will be read at Arlington
National Cemetery next Wednesday.
1t will also be read at the Eastern
and Cave Hill Cemeteries here in
Louisville. And if there is some one
in Columbia who will do so, 1 would
be glad to have it read in Columbia
cemetery at the grave of COL Wolford
or our old friend, Gov. j. R. Hindman.
To-day we decorate the graves
OF many of the nations braves,
And though their forms lie now serene
Beneath these fiower-strewn mounds
of green,
The glory which their Valor won
To-day shines bright as MONDAY sun.
Twas they who to US freedom gave
And caused our gallant flag to wave.
No more they hear the call to arms,
They rest secure from wars alarms.
We gather round their mounds to-day
And to their memory homage pay,
But Flowers are naught lest we the
Son,
Maintain the freedom they have won.
So promise now that DER this grave
The stars and stripes FOR aye shall
wave.
At Lexington or Monterey,
At Gettysburg, Manila Bay;
Where'er the stars and stripes did
wave
We there could find our gallant brave.
These men their noble lives did give
That we in freedoms land might live,
So promise now that Ger this grave
The stars and stripes for aye shall
wave.
Division once their ranks broke forth,
But now we know no South, no North;
To-day in unison we blend
And blue and gray alike are friend.
With flowers alike their graves We
strew
And thereby show that we are true.
We pledge anew that DER this grave
The stars and stripes for aye shall
wave.
To-day we decorate the graves
OF many of the nations braves.
To US their gallant lives should be
A guide to greater liberty.
Though tyrant foes our land assail
We must not let their arms prevail,
So promise now that Ger this grave.
The Stars and stripes for aye shall
wave.

Prof. Moss and LindSey.WiISOn.

Prof. R. r. Moss came to Columbia
at the opening of the Lindsey Wilson
Training School, fourteen years ago,
as one of the faculty, taking charge of
the Normal Department, and has
been all through these years with the
school, and has for several years been
one of the cO-principals.
p At the expiration of the present
school year Prof. Moss resigned his po-
sition with the school as one of the
Principals because of the heavy work
that had burdened him so many years.
He felt a change was necessary as
touching his health. The Board of
Managers regret very much that it
became necessary for him to sever his
connection with the school, as do the
patrons of the school. He makes this
change with the kindest feelings to-
ward the school and the Board, and
will ever be ready to speak a good
word, and render any service for it he
can. His friends are many all over
this hill country.
Prof. P. G. Chandler, a young man
of scholarship and ability, has been
elected Principal, and the outlook for
the school is bright.
The following is a resolution that
was passed by the Board of Managers
in meeting last week:
Resolved, that the Board of Mana
gers places on record it's appreciation
of the faithful, honest and efficient
service of Profs. Moss and Chandler
as principals of Lindsey Wilson, and
that we express to Prof. Moss our ap.
probation of his long and devoted
service to the school and we pray
Gods guidance and blessings upon
him in whatever field He may guide
him.
