"SHE CAME, SHE-SAW, SHE CONQUERED"
Tomorrow Only Mary Miles Minter in "DIMPLES"
Put the teachers all to flight.
She says that school's a cruelty
And it surely isn't right
To go to school in clay time ,
And study half the night.
Of course there's noon and' recess
When she gets a little play, ;
And some times has some fun in
school
When the teachers are away.
When paper wads come whizzing by
And spit 'balls past you hum;
The kids ell got a breathing spell
And, chance to chew their gum.
The teacher's foot sounds on the
staii1
She steps inside the door:
'But every ihcad bends o'er a book
As busy as oeioae.
Then through the school room silence
reigns
For half an hour or so,
Until at last the bell will ring
And out the children go.
So glad at 4ast that they are free,
And who could blame this maid ,
If she does stop outside the gate
To play with Adelaide?
After supper she sits down
And turns her history cover,
Looks at her speller in dispair
And says, "I wish 'twas over."
But hearts like hers can always rise
So she is blythe and gay,
And talks and laughs and tells of
things
That happened through the day. :
Until the evening soon is spent
And mother dear has said,
"Come children, put your books away
It's time to go to bed." ,
The teacher scolds (her hard next day;
It is a dreadful shame.
She didn't know her history well
But how was she to blame ? '
She'd like to quit the whole concern
Before she's any bigger; '
She'd love to be a drygoods clerk
But pshaw! she hates to ngure.
I'm sure she wouldn't make a cook,
She hates to wash the disnes;
And so she has to go to .school .
Tho it's against iher wisnes. .

Some time ago the Observer in
augurated a "Home Made Poetry"
column. Today a group of iresponses
are publish below.
My Sixtieth Birthday.
(Dedicated to Bro. Frank at Cold
springs, N. Y.)
Down the rapids of the river of life,
Days, months, years, three-score
today
Sixty of these mystery pages turned,
, Sixty changing seasons gone their
way.
Three-score times the cherries
bloomed,
Sixty winters with the hail and
. snow, ; ' 1
Sixty summers witii their harvest
sheafs, '
Sixty autumns with their crimson
glow.
Out from the depth of eternity's
realm
The cycle of time takes its course,
Our life' is a whirl in boundless space
A voyage that ends at its source.
Our allotted time three-score and
ten
The road ahead will be short and
steep.
But we fear it less as we near the
end.
We will sleep where our fathers
sleep.
t
Nature" will temper the cold bleak
iwind,
As life's clock nears the final
stroke.
There will be no sting, no shadow of
death,
It will be as rest 'neath a shady
oak.
Old age brings us no horror of death,
No clammy touch, no darkness, or
night, 1
Our life goes out as the stars of the
sky
Hidden by morning's superior light.
Wihen we think of the millions yet un
born, Of the millions more since time begun,
We know all birthdays measure the
same
Whether sixty, one hundred, or
only one.
We had no choice in our birthday
dates,
The itmnd of fate no mortal can
stay.
Inscrutable Deity spoke us to life,
in its own time it will speak us
away.
At the end the Stork and Raven will
meet
Where death will come as came the
birth.
We yield ns then to omnipotent
strength,
We give back our part of evolving
earth.

badly
And that in his head there is a lack,
You' may think his clothes are very
queer
And turn your head with an ugly
icnoor
His actions too you think not right,
But these aire no license for you to
make light.
SuDDOse theVe things are all quite
h is a regular old hoo-doo,
Are you broadening your mind in any
way , , ,
To repeat some gossip of what
"They Say?"
This man or woman whom you talk
about
May enter with ease where you are
left out; .
For sometimes an exterior though
quite dim
Conceals a brillian gem within.
This world of ours is a busy place
It will keep us busy keeping pace,
If we do what's requjred of us today
We have' not time to repeat wnai
"Thev Snv."
Our time is given to us here,
To improve ourselves trom year ui
So our lives may bo blessings from
day to day
And not a. repeater of what 'They
Say." .

Troubles of a School Girl.
I know a little maiden
Who's as smart as anyone.
But she doesn't like to go to school
Jjecnuse it isn t fun.
She savs the school room's dreary,
While the teachers scold and fret;
Won't help her with her lessons
Because she's not a pet.
Thev mark her trades near zero
When they should nave sc&iea tne
height
And keep her in for spelling
When school is out at night
Of course she always does her best
Is courteous and polito;
But bMA like to raid the school
boose
Tho fThitipse are careless sncllcrs

lON'T overlook this matter of
power. It is important. You
want an automobile that will
carry you through mud, sand and.
snow, and do it easily.' You want a '
car that will climb hills, that will get
. away quickly without laboring and
s straining its every part
Not all cars can do these things,,
but you know that the Maxwell can.
because you have the proof.
When the Maxwell stock touring1.
' car set the World's Motor Non-Stop
Mileage Record a few weeks ago, it
encountered all sorts of unfavorable
conditions rain, mud and hills, over
country and city roads yet it cov
ered 500 miles per day, day after
day, for more than six weeks.
Power, plenty of power, unfailing
power, is absolutely essential to such
a wonderful performance as this.
Let us give you a booklet telling
all the details of this record breaking
Maxwell car. And let us tell you
, about pur partial payment plan, by
means of which you can make a cash
deposit and pay the balance while
you use the car. Give us the oppor
tunity and we'll prove our case. :

Willard-Moran Battle Starts Row

Fall and winter schedule of ser
ices: Low mnss( Sunday, a. m. ser-
New York April 7. The seventh
round . of the Willard-Moran battle in
Madison Square Garden March 25 was
fast but not half as fast as tho fight
talk the fans are now indulging in.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, Willard this and.
Willard that, Moran this and Moran
that, goes the gossip where the ring
side fantaus and the rafter raaairds ;
foregather. Tho bout busted the gossip j
wide open, Some think it was a great
fight, some think it was rotten; some
are for ten-round championship bouts
every week, others think they should
be abolished altogether.
"As a result of the brutal, d grad
ing exhibition, of the brute in man at
the Willard-Moran fight," boxing
should forever be abolished in New
York, says one clan.
"The boutl shows conclusively that
tho city wants boxing and wants it
bad. To give the people what diey pay
for the state should at onco permit
twenty-round bouts with decisions,"
is the conclusion of another.
In between, it a host, and each of
the host has an idea of his own. Out
of the turmoil few things stand plain.
The mill shook New York as no other ;
fight in history has, Tom Jones, whose i
man, Willard got away with more,
than half a hundred thousand dollars, i
thinks it was a wonderful fight, per
fectly staged and arranged and he I
would luce to seo things like it re
cur frequently.
The persons who think it was worth
the money are those who paid to see !
it. The persons kicking the hardest
didn't see tho mill and probab.ly don't
know whether tte schappers used
their hands or feet.
Havine served as County Commis-
sioner by appointment to fill an un
