TODAYS BIT OF VERSE
WINTER TWILIGHT.


Soft-sandled twilight handmade of the night,
Before her noble lady's radiant face
Doth slowly with gentle, quiet pace,
And draweth curtains light
Around the snowy couch pure, white
Wherein mistress will rest, with grace
Celestial she doth every trace
OF toll and daily soil doth hide from sight
So would that before thy face my love
Might gently move, and ever from above
Such tender beauty draw about thy way
That when thou Hest down to nightly rest
thoughts should fade and there should only stay
The peace of heaven within thy tranquil breast.

That Floating Debt Incubus.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
The city of Keokuk needs friends
as it never did. The commissioners
for the succeeding two years should
be our most able and unselflsh CIT,
zens. We have pursued the policy
for about fifty-four years of the
highest taxation and expenditure. !
am in favor Of cutting out this policy,
not to exceed thirty-six mills taxa
ton and not the expenditure OF a dol
lar until the floating debt of about
fifty thousand dollars is paid. The
item in the December statement,
plus overdraft brought forward April
first, 1917, $37 .640.63," read in our
1916 statements the same except
I"A2ril first, 1916" This floating debt
ought to be paid by April first, 1918,
or Cancelled by suit. 1t is part VI
an illegal Indebtedness amounting to
about S95,535. The item referred to
above is a balance of Indebtedness
contracted in 1912-1913, and the com
missioners since that time have not
known what to do with it. but have
paid more than nine thousand dollars
Interest on it. suggest a pubic
meeting to discuss city affairs. The
present commissioners have been

most far-reaching plans of all the nations to
meet the foreseen conditions to follow the war
Among the new ministers created to this end Is
the minister of reconstruction who Will work IN

thousand workingmen' homes, work on when
will begin as the ink on the peace treaty dries.
The sums which have disgraced the English
cities are going never to return.
It is impossible at this distance to realize the
measure in which the British people have given
themselves body and spirit to the war. Inc
men from eighteen to forty years OF age have
gone to the front. Boys have been called Tor
ward and old men have been called back TO take
their places and girls and women have every

There is no reason to doubt that our secret

formation the government has proceeded to
watch SUSPECTS forestall plots and take into
custody a large number of dangerous alien

hostility which masks itself under movements

PRIVATE FORCES
HIS OFFICERS TO
STAND TWO HOURS

Frostburg, Md, Sept 23-AccordinG
to a story carried back here by draftees
home on furloughs from Camp Meaue.
one of their number, a private, who
was indicted into the army last
month, being q member of the con-
tingent that went from Frostburg, had
the satisfaction OF compelling the OFF,
GERS Of his company to stand at at
tention while he himself was under
going punishment for some infraction
of the barrack rules.
1t is asserted that the Frostburg boy
was very fond of whistling and after
getting into his bunk at night ne
would keep the other boys awake by
his warbling.
The matter was reported to the
company's sergeant and after warning
the Frostburger to discontinue the
practice advised the first lieutenant.
The lieutenant warned the soldier, but
forgetting himself. he began whistling
again the following night.
After breakfast, the next morning
his lieutenant told him to report In
front of his barracks that evening
after supper When he got around ne
found the officers of his company
there waiting for him, who command
ed him to whistle for two hours as
punishment for his refusal to listen
to previous orders. The officers made
up the audience.
The Frostburger carried out the
mand by whistling 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner" and kept his commanding
officers standing at attention before
him for the entire time.
