The e Samue +. Smith, author OF
America" was once at the house of
a friend on the afternoon before Me
mortal day. About thirty children and
young ladies We're assembled there.
The young people were gathering many
cut flowers into bouquets. and while
they worEed they sang from time to
time his song, My Country, IT'S of
Thee"
This led DR.. Smith to write the fol-
lowing beautiful lines:
g WET in the innocence of
y youth,
Borne of the brave and free,
They wove fair garlands while they
sang
"My country, It's of thee"
How every bosom swelled with JOY
And thrilled with grateful pride
AS fond and whispering cadence
breathes,
Land where my fathers died"
EAIR flowers in sweet bouquets
they tied
Breaths from the wales and
hills,
While childish voices poured the
strain,
1T love thy rocks and rills."
Each face grew radiant with the
thought,
"Land of the noble Free"
Each voice seemed reverent as it
trilled,
"Sweet land of liberty"
A ND bud and bloom and leaf they
~ bound
And bade the living keep
Unframed and pure the cherished
graves
Where brave men calmly sleep;
And thus, while infant lips begin
To lisp Sweet freedoms song,"
Manhood's deep tones from age to
age
Shall still "the sound prolong."
HAILED the promise of the
scene;
Gladness was in the strain;
The glorious land is safe while love
Still swells the fond refrain;
And what shall be our sure defense I
Who guards our liberty9
Not man, not arms alone; we look,
"0ur fathers Cod, to thee"

This spectacle" said a famous
critic "is one that stirs the magma

gers the eye. So gigantic is it, so
universal in theme and so diversified
in content, that it seems impossible
to believe that the brain of one man

Armour & Co., the Fair, Morris &
Co. and the Consumers Co. came out
into the open in their fight on the
fender law yesterday. An injunction
was filed in the circuit court restrain
ing the police from enforcing the or
dinance with arrests.
Ever since the beginning Of the
agitation for tenders on auto trucks
the big commercial interests have
fought the safety devices because.
After the death of Catherine Cog
gin, sec'y of the Chicago Teachers
Federation, under the wheels Of a
Marshall Field & Co. auto truck, the
city council for the third time voted
that big business firms would have
to put the safeguards on commercial
autos.
When Chief of Police Schuettler
announced he was going to enforce
the law with an arrest this week, the
suit was filed.
Fred Upham Of the Consumers Co. =
has been quoted as saying that
TENDERS would never be put on auto
trucks as long as he could stop it.

meantime. holding two automatics in his hands. When tho lawyer came out Thomas announced he would not leave the building until William See ley, republican leader of the first dis trict was sent for, declaring the police would kill him.
 We have argued with you long enough" Supt. Redgate finally said to the negro. who stood at a window. Leave the building within fifteen minutes or we will dynamite itt' 1r
 Following the respite Thomas again refused to surrender. The police were ordered to send a volley into the club rooms. Five officers with breech- loading rifles fired from vantage points in a freight yard across the street while others assembled near windows. The negroes within re- sponded to every shot of the police.
 More than two hours had passed now, and Redgate's patience was ex- hausted. There was no indication that Thomas was wavering, and the superintendent te1ephoned to the Union Metallic Cartridge company Tor the cannon. Bremen also had been summoned to aid the police. The cannon was drawn up in front of the building, but instructions were given that it was not to be fired until Red gate signalled.
 Again he ordered the police to re. tire for a moment and from them he selected five expert shots. They, with the superintendent and the firemen with axes, forced a rear door. Red- gate led the men within.
 Hardly had they entered the place when two shots, evidently from Thomas automatics, were fired. Forty policemen then rushed in. Captains and sergeants were unable to restrain them.
 Another exchange of shots followed. One negro fell wounded and all the others, save Thomas, surrendered. He could not be found in the main club room, and after the place had been cleared Redgate and some of his men began a search for him. He was mo- where in the buildings. re ,.e
 The police then went to a building next door and entered the basement. Thomas was found crouched in corner still holding both automatics. The police ordered him to throw up his hands. He dropped his weapons band obeyed the command. Both auto matics were empty. Three patrolmen led him to a patrol wagon. He smiled az he walked along with them.
 When the excitement had died down it was discovered that the negro shot
