AT A wAYsIDE CROSS

No scarlet banner do ! bring,
For heights on battle fields;
But | would like some deed to write,
Where memory puts her shields.
/ cannot chant heroic dirge,
Of hosts that went to slay;
But | would like to reach a hand
To one who passed my way,
The thousand guns that make death
war,
Till green is crimsoned sod;
/ cannot picture, but know
The way one soldier trod.
/ cannot see the chasm wide,
The trenches-endless grave;
But | would like to say, Amenl
Where life spent life to save.
! do not know artillery sounds,
Or how swords feel IN flesh;
But / would like to weave a shroud
With love in strand and mesh.
l cannot think of battle roar,
Where agonies make staini
But would like to talk with God,
To ease human pain.
o, would like to whisper low,
To some dear, sinful heart,
Love greater hath no man than this,
And you have done your part"
Because the road is all uphill,
We fail where we would win
Perhaps, it is that we may learn
Forgiveness through a sin.

*ndge and held that the assessment

No high courts opinion.
The appellants property was as
sssed for concrete street and curb
me- of seventy feet along North Sew
M street. It was claimed by
sppellant that the city should have
assessed adjacent property, under
the new law, as well as AUDITING
nronerty. That by reason Of there
not being another street. 1t should
have been assessed back 900 feet
rather than 140 feet. The lower
court sustained the city attorney in
hts stand on the case.
Errors to the lower courts findings
were claimed by appellant, among
them being that the assessment
should have been made under the
new law rather than the former
statutes. This evidently is one of
tne grounds for reversal by the high
court. The case has been before the
supreme court for several months.
md the decision has been looked for
lbr weeks.
In case the assessment should be
made under the new law, the ques-
hon arises as to who shall pay the
difference No notice of intention
was served on the adjacent property
owners. This would mean either
that the city or the contractor would
be responsible for the amounts. In
any event. rather interesting ques-
Hon is presented in the case.
