Hail and Farewell
FAREWELL TO THE OLD

FAREWELL TO THE OLD
Old Year. thy life 10 well-nigh spent
Thy feet are tottering and slow,
Thy hoary head with age is bent,
The time is here for thee to go;
Already in the frozen snow
lonely grave is made for thee;
The winds are chanting dirges low.
Upon the land and on the sea.
Old Year. thou vert friend to some
To some thou Of worth untold,
Thy days were blessings every one,
More precious far than shining gold:
But unto Others thou foe
Did prove thyself-an enemy.
Relentless as the chains of woe
As ruthless the maddened sea.
Some will rejoice to know thee dead.
Others will mourn thee as friend:
Some will look back on thee with dread,
Others their praises to thee lend:
neither offer praise nor blame,
Old Year, for what you brought to me,
For unto me both joy and pain
Your active hands gave lavishly.
Thy solemn deatla-hour draws a-nigh-
And hark! hear thy funeral kneL
Slow pealing through the darkened sky
Farewell, Old Year-farewell farewell!
HAIL TO THE NEW
Hail! hail to thee, o virgin year!
Not yet days length on thy throne
And joyous voice Of dulcet tone:
Hail! hail! to thee, thou strong of limb;
Our praise is thine, o youthful king
For thou art pure of woe and sin
Thy young hands yet but blessings bring.
The monarch who is laid away
Within the catacornb of years
Was harsh and ruthless in his day
Seemed less to love our joys than tears;
We look for blessings manifold,
New Year, from thy pure sinless hand,
We trust thy heart will ne'er grow cold
Toward us-and our Native Land.
Bring healing to the hearts now sore
From wounds the cruel Old Year made;
The veil of peacefulness draw DER
The woes at each heart-threshold laid:
We cannot love a tyrant king!
Our hearts refuse to loyal be
To one who takes delight to fling
Upon our hearts keen miseryi
~ Be kind to us--that we may say e7.-
When comes the time for thee to go;
20 darling year. we grieve to-day,
Because we all have loved thee 80"

TO EXAMINE HER
Physicians To Make Report on
Mrs. Mulinix Condition.
Grove Negro Farmer Maintains
His Innocence.

County authorities are unable to
form a satisfactory conclusion regard
ing the alleged attack on Mrs. Eva
Mulinix. the young wife of Jess Mulin-
tx, a farmer living three miles north
west of Grove. by Arthur Anderson, a
young negro living a half mile west of
them. Anderson's apparent innocent
attitude, his surprise at his arrest. the
conflicting stories and the delay in
making the complaint, which was not
made until two days after the alleged
attack, combine to puzzle the officers.
Attorneys for Mrs. Mulinix have de-
manded that physician examine her.
and it was stated that the examination
would be made this afternoon. Fri
day County Attorney Fisher and his
assistants went to the scene of the al
legged crime and made an investiga-
ton. but insisted they could express
no opinions.
Anderson still stoutly maintains his
innocence. He declares that the only
words he had said to the woman that
day was to bid her good morning as
he passed the house on the way to the
fields. He has been released on a
5000 bond.

BIRD SUIT is FILED
Hopkins Wants q. S. Enjoined From
Enforcing Its Treaty Law.

A restraining order to prevent gov
eminent game wardens from arrest
ing persons who desire to hunt wild
ducks, wild geese, brant, snipe and
plover in Kansas, is asked in bill
of complaint filed here this morning
in the office of the federal court. The
suit is brought by Richard J. Hop
kins, attorney general, against Ray
mond P. Hall. federal game warden.
Hopkins declares people complying
with the laws of Kansas are prevented
from hunting under the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act, but insists that wild
birds. both resident and migratory.
are the property of the state and
that the state has right to pass laws
governing them. He points out that.
on account of the actions of the fed
eral agents, the sale of hunting Ii
censes, the only source of revenue for
the fish and game warden's depart
ment, has greatly fallen off and that
it is to the interest of the state to
allow its citizens to enjoy the privi-
1ege extended to them under the game
laws of 1915. A permanent injunction
is prayed for upon the final hearing
of the case

There is a negro church in Topeka,
at Fifteenth and Monroe streets, which
has been keeping the feast of the
Passover this week. Their services

the Church of God, and Saints of
Christ, and is shabby, implanted lit

A reporter for the State Journal,
drawn by the lure of the unusual,
went to the church Friday afternoon.
The women who were gathered about
the church all wore a sort of uniform,
brown skirts, and light blue waists.

their hair. Some wore blue bows,
some white, some pink, and some,
doubtless those higher up, all three
colors Some of them wore vari-col-
ored ribbon badges with long stream
ers, and explained that those so desig-
mated above the other, were sister
elders"
When asked regarding the bows in
their hair. the reporter was referred
to the elder. with the information that
women were not allowed to instruct.
Later, the elder. a kind faced, gen
tie old man. explained that and some
other phases of their belief. you all
have heard about the flood?" he
asked. When assured that she had,
he went on, Then you all know that
the Lord set bow in the sky as a
token. Well-thats what the bows
the women wear are for"
IT see-symbolic of safety" was
the reply.
'Yes'm. yes'm-thats it," he said
eagerly.
Sacrifice of a Lamb.
1t seems that the actual sacrifice
of a lamb is observed in one place
where the Church of God holds forth,
and that is in Washington. D. c. The
elder of the Topeka church, Evangel-
list Matthew King. has gone to Wash
tngton to partake of the feast, and
Elder Reuben Slaughter. the old man
with whom the reporter talked, sup
plies the spiritual food to the To-
peka flock.
The evening service consisted in
singing, interspersed with testimonies
and thanksgiving for the feast of the
Passover.
The women stood. some facing the
altar, some the door, and sang in
high, melodious voices. their bodies
swaying with the music. Even the
little children took part in the exer-
cises. rafting off Bible verses, sing
ing and swaying with the others.
The elder invited the visiting
friends, who had been made welcome
in all of the testimonies of the
church members. to give their testi-
monies also, but the invitation was
not accepted
