For the Modest Goldfish.

A good many people seem to be ig.
norant Of the shadow.lOving nature Of
the goldfish and they expose the poor
little shrinking captlves in glarine
crystal bowls with not even u shred
Of o to hide in. This only proves
that people who undertake the respon.
sibility Of caring for live pets do not
take the trouble to study their habits
and quite thoughtlessly subject them
to torture. A water plant, a pile Of
coral or any little shelter is all that Ia
needed. but something In common de-
cency should be provided.

the same date, the term of members
to be appointed thereafter to be six
years.
This act was not approved by Gov
ernor Hanna until March 4, 1915, and
did not become effective until July l,
1915, for the reason that no separate
roll call was had upon the emergency
clause contained in it, nor did the
bill itself receive wo-thirds vote in
the house.
Hanna's Mistake. =. ......
ION the second day Of March, 1915,
Governor Hanna attempted to nomi-
nate the present board of regents. APP
the date Of the first appointment,
March 2, 1915, fixed some time prior
in the session with the expectation
that it would reach the governor with
a legal emergency clause, and be ap-
proved by him in time to make the
nominations on March 2, 1915, under a
law in full force and effect. However,
such was not the case, and no law
creating a board of regents and au-
thorizing appointments of members
was approved until March 4, 1915. nor
did 1t become effective until July l,
1915.
"Under the terms of this bill a GER
tain specific method was set forth for
the appointment Of the first board OF
E0SGuISp III
the nomination of the members of the
board on March 2, 1915, by the COVER
nor. On March 2. 1915, there was in
existence no legislative authority for
making such nominations. The pro-
visions for the appointment of the
first board was a nullity when the law
did come into effect. and under 1t the
governor had no power either on
March or at any other time to make
such nominations or appointments.
Should Have Declared Vacancy.
Under other provisions of the bill
the governor is authorized, whenever
vacancy shall occur, by removal or
otherwise, to declare the Office vacant,
and to fill the same by appointment.
In connection with the appointments
Of the present board of regents, Gov
ernor Hanna never attempted to exer-
else his power. Had he attempted to at
the time he did or at any time before
July /, 1915. his action would have
been void for the reason that the law
not yet being effected no vacancy
would occur or could be declared by
him.
Following July 1. 1915, he could
have made a valid appointment, but
this he never attempted to do.
'In view Of the facts in the case,
and the law applicable thereto. 1t Is
my opinion that there are no legally
appointed members Of such board at
this time, that vacancies exist, and
may so be declared by you, and such
vacancies filed"

The Old House.

The Old House.
Cold and cheerless, bare and bleak,
The old house fronts the shabby street,
And the duh windows eastward gaze,
AS their cobwebbed brows they raise,
Just as though they looked to see
What had become of you and me
And all the other children.
The dust drifts Ger the garnet floor, !,
The little feet tread there no more;
But Ger the stage. still standing there,
The Muse first stalked with tragic air
And whispered low to you and me
OF golden days that were to be
For us and all the children.
.Good-by, old house! Thy tattered
cloak
Is fringed with moss and gray with
smoke;
Within thy walls we used to see
A gaunt old wolf named Poverty;
Yet from thy rafters' dingy bars
A ladder stretched up to the stars
For us and all the children.
