THE ToY-sTREWN HOUSE

Give me the house where toys are
strewn,
Where the dolls are asleep in the
chairs.
Where the, building blocks and the
toy balloon,
And the soldiers guard the stairs
Let me step in the house where the
81 tiny chair
With it's horses rules the floor.
: And the rest comes into my weary
heart
For Tam at home once more.
Give me the house with the TOYS
about.
With the battered old train of cars.
The box of paint and the books left
out
And the ship with her broken spars:
Let me step in house at the close of
day
That is Uttered with children's TOYS
And dwell once more in the haunts
to play
With tibet echoes of by-gone noise.
Give me the house where the TOYS
are seen,
The house where the children all
romp.
And' I'll happier be than man has
been
Meath the gilded dome of pomp,
Let me see the litter Of bright-eyed
play
Strewn over the parlor floor,
And the joys I knew in a far-off day
Will gladden. my heart once more.
Whoever has lived in a toy-strewp
home
" Though feeble he be and gray
Will yearn, no matter how far he
roam,
For the glorius disarray
Of the little home with it's Uttered
floor
That was in his by-gone days.
And his heart will throb as it throbb-
ed before
When he rests where. a baby plays.

ORDINANCE is TABLED

One of the acts of the council at
the meeting on Monday evening was
the tabling OF an ordinance which was
proposed to regulate places of amuse-
ment. The ordinance will now re-
quire two-thirds vote of the Coun-
ell to bring it before the body again.
This ordinance was prepared in
compliance with the vote at the re-
cent city election. when. by a four
teen majority. it was voted to close
the places of entertainment and
amusement on Sundays. the ballot
specifying picture shows. circuses and
theatres. The ordinance prepared
covered these points and took in base
ball and Chautauquas It was con-
tended that the ordinance went too
far, in taking in these things, and a
motion to table was carried. Just
what will be the outcome is not
known for it is the contention of
some that it would be class legisla-
tion to close one sort of amusement
or entertainment and allow another
kind to operate

Miss ste;nke Suffers Broken Arm.

Hiss Martha Steinke, popular sales
lady in the ready-to-wear department
Of the Minot Department Store, while
returning from lunch Saturday after
noon about two o'clock, opened door
at the side of the First international
Bank building, supposing she was en-
tering the Valley Meat Market, and
instead the door led to a stairway
leading to the basement of the build
ing. She discovered her mistake too
late to save herself and fell the entire
length of the stairs.
Fortunately Miss Steinke retained
her presence of mind and rising unas-
sisted returned to the pavement above
just as employees of the bank, hearing
her cries for assistance, came to aid
her. Mr.. Scribe assisted the young
lady to the store and medical aid was
summoned. The surgeon discovered
upon examination that her injuries
consisted of compound fracture Of
the left arm, the bone of the upper
arm having been broken and the elbow
fractured. She was at once removed
to her rooms in the R. H Emerson
home on First St. S. e. and as we 60
to press we learn that an X-Ray ex-
animation Of the broken member in
dicates very serious condition and
the young lady will be taken to the
St. Joseph's hospital for treatment.
