The Exit Of the Exiles.
When Russia casts from her the
blight Of kings
And to the whole great world
her message filings,
We see among the tidings that
she brings
Why cold Siberia now gladly
sings.
Siberia, the home of prisoners
freed,
Siberia, where Russia sowed the
seed;
Siberia. where lurhed the hidden
deed,
Siberia, whose cry no one did
heed.
And from out that dismal dreary
land
We see a hundred thousand
captive band
March ON their way to Russia,
hand in hand,
The perils hard they need no
longer stand.
Provided for revolt there was a
hell,
The old autocracy could sound
And send It's prisoners where they
could not tell
What cruel treatment to their
lot befell.
Then Liberty just broke those

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April II.
Police Of this city are baffled
today over the puzzle of the child
of mystery six-year-old Dorothy
Lewis, who has been taken from a
man claiming to be her father and
given to a wealthy family.
Dorothy told Judge Porterfield
of the children's court, that F. d.
Lewis, rs, was her father, that
lshe had two stepmothers and was
born at the foot Of the Berk-
shires."
Lewis and the little girl lived
In Independence, near here, nine
months on just enough to keep
them alive. Lewis talks vaguely
of a large estate coming to him
and letters to Mrs. Lewis hint of
the mans right to a fortune.
In spite Of Lewis alleged
threats to kill himself If the child

ALEXANDER'S
HOME ENTERED

The country residence of II. f.
Alexander at Interlaaken, was
entered Tuesday night, but the
burglars were frightened away by
Mr.. and Mrs. James Curley, the
caretakers of the place.
The Curleys thought that some
one was in the house, and about
two in the morning the couple
Investigated and found the rooms
were torn up, and silverware and
valuable furnishings were piled
on the table ready to take away.
Thinking that the burglars had
been frightened away, the couple
started home, and when 40 yards
from the house, a bullet whizzed
by Mrs. Curley's ear.
The two men disappeared with
out getting anything.

chains and cried,

cnalns ana cried,
She drove from throps the Ro-
manoff's real pride;
The doors OF dungeon mines she
opened wide
And sent the wave Of freedom
in high tide.
Returned to hope where once was
just despair,
Returned from horrors that
they could not bear
Are free like other men who live
and dare
Away from tortures and the
fiend's wild glare.
To realization what Republics
mean,
A liberty before seen only in
their dream;
They are so dazed their faces
cannot beam
Until they see how bright does
shine the CLEAN.
Then some will go so mad, no joy
can make
And some will not believe they
are awake
Until they rub their eyes and
swiftly take
Departure from the snow and
frozen lake.
Marie Spirodonova is free, is free,
That saint of Russia's kind
democracy,
And never did she think that
she would see
Again the sunlight, flower, bird
and bee.
And Catherine Breshh
whom we call
The Revolutions grandmother
mot tall
Arrived from Minsk in Petro-
grads bright hall,
Pure patriot enduring months
of gall.
The woman spent in years just
forty-five
AS convict, exile was the name
she wore
In northland of abandoned hopes
she bore
Her part, now three score ten
she is and more.
This Mother Catherine, yes, is
free today,
This dauntless soul. who soap
ed and paid her way
Across the miles to show that
she must say
A word for freedom then with
delay.
No wonder that the people with
acclaim
Gave welcome to her there in
station, same
Where under old regime they only
came,
The royal personages of great
| fame.
| From railway station all around
Vast crowds with flags did ev-
erywhere abound,
And as they waved these banners
red, the sound
OF Marseillaise on lips the song
was found.
And here they hail her greatest
heroine,
There veteran nihilists and
folk that win;
They welcome her above the city's
din,
And tell her of the marvellous
| change within.

only certain statements accord
ing to the following from the
Tracy Headlight:
"Some of the tricks and de-
vises used by men being exam
ined to secure dismissal were in

that. One man claimed deaf

deaf on one ear, and partially
so on the other. DR.. Hoidale,
placed him twenty feet away,
with his back to the doctor, and
spoke to him in a loud voice. He
pretended he could not hear. The
doctor approached him slowly,
still talking, and when he got
near, the man who didn't-want-
to-be-a-soldier admitted that he
could hear the sound of his voice
but could not understand clear

HOW ABOUT YOURS?

Where is your daughter these
evenings? Chief of Police Wen
CERT says the parents Of many
Austin girls are going to reap
a wnirlwind of sorrow simply
because they do not know where
their girls are at night, who
they are with and where they
go. He says the night force re-
port these girls as on the streets
or returning to the city as late
as 400 o'clock in the morning.
Some Of these girls no doubt lie
to the parents as to where they
spend the night. Some are
daughters of parents who would
be crazy with anxiety if they
knew what the police know.
Chief Wengert asks us to sound
a note of warning. He says
many of these are from four
teen to eighteen years of age

AMT IT THE TRUTH?

The greatest menace to the
careful automobile driver after
dark is in meeting an automo-
bile WITH powerful and glazing
headlights, that blind those who
meet it. There are plenty of
lenses on the market that elimi-
nate the glare and hold the light
down on the road, and there is
no excuse for using the kind
that make it dangerous to all
cars that meet it, especially on a
narrow highway. The ST. Cloud
police are doing good work in
enforcing the road laws inside
the city, but they cannot prevent
this fragrant violation on the
outside highways. There is a
state la negotiating this mat
ter, and it Should be enforced.
