The time has come for a spring poem and the loveliest of our singers --Madison Cawein--is dead He was still in the forties, but a death that in- spires such a beautiful elegy as the following cannot be viewed as a total loss MADISON CAWEIN. By Margaret Steele Anderson. The wind makes moan, the water run- neth chill; I hear the nymphs go crying through the brake; And roaming mournfully from hill to hill The maenads all are silent for his sake! > e He loved thy pipe, O piping Pan! So play'st thou sadly, lone within thine hollow; He was thy blood, if ever mortal man, Therefore thou weepest--even thou Apollo! wreathed and But, O, the grieving of the Little Things, Above the pipe and lyre, throughout the woods! The beating of a thousand airy wings, The cry of all the fragile multitudes! The moth flits desolate, the tree-toad calls, ? Telling the sorrow of the elf and fay; The cricket, little harper of the walls, Puts up his harp--hath quite forgot to play! And risen on these winter paths anew, The wilding blossom makes a ten- der sound; The purple weed, the morning glory blue, And all the timid darlings of the ground! Here, here the pain is sharpest! For he walked As one of these--and they Knew naught of fear, But told him daily happenings and talked Their lovely secrets in his listening ear! Yet we do bid them grieve, and tell their grief; Else were they thankless, else were all untrue; O wind and stream, O bee and bird and leaf, Mourn for your poet, with a long adieu! --Louisville Evening Post. Suggestion Made That a Citizens' Representative Men and Women be Appointed to Cooperate with the Building and Grounds Committee of the Council RESOLUTION. RESOLVED, That the President be and is hereby au- thorized to appoint a Commit- tee of Citizens to serve with the Buildings and Grounds Committee in making a study and a report covering the erec- tion of a Village Hall. 1 wish to bring before the Council for their consideration the question of the erection of a village hall. 1 do not think that anyone can question the need of such a building and in the erection of it, it is naturally desir- able that it be built on a comprehen- sive plan and, therefore, will require considerable study before anything definite can be accomplished. Of first importance is the question of financing the project. Both of these matters I have given some thought for several months, and it seems to me that the time has now arrived when a careful study of all problems in connection therewith be given attention by the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Council. 1 therefore desire to make the sug- gestion that this Council instruct the RESOLUTION FOR THE CONSID- ERATION OF THE ERECTION OF ANEW VILLAGEHALL INTRO- DUCED BY TRUSTEE WOLF Buildings and Grounds Committee to undertake a study of this matter with a view to reporting at a reasonably early date as to what recommenda- tions they have to make. This is a matter of sufficient im- portance that I think it would be wise for the Council to instruct the Pres- ident to appoint a citizens' committee of representative men and women to co-operate with the Buildings and Grounds Committee and the Council in the formulating of the plans gov- erning this project. Having among our residents several architects, I feel certain that some of their number would be willing to serve on such a committee and be of material assistance in formulating these tentative plans. I have in mind a plan which I would like to lay before this committee rel- ative to the financing of this work, which may or may not meet with their approval or with the approval of the citizens when submitted to them, and which I shall be pleased to pre- sent to them at an opportune time. I do believe, however, that this mat- ter should be brought before the pub- lic for a thorough study and with a view to accomplishing this, offer the resolution given above. - . FINE RESIDENCE SECTION OPENED The Indian Hill club will open for- mally tomorrow. The section be- longing to the club is going to be one of the most beautiful to be found on the North Shore if the plans formu- lated by the board of managers, which are already underway, come out as successfully as expected. Land which has been sold for build- ing purposes has been protected against any undesirable use. For in- stance heavy building restrictions are imposed and the purchaser is under contract to erect a residence 'this spring or by next spring. But one family can occupy the area purchas- ed. This rule prevents subdivision of lots and allows about two acres in grounds for each residence. Club members are the only purchasers and those who are of the community are given the first choice. Parts of the Indian Hill section have the use of three stations for transportation. Those who have purchased lots for building purposes are: William Nor- ton, H. Spaulding Coffin, Paul Cleve- land, John Ott, Carl Miller, Marshall Schoenthaler, Lloyd C. Whitman, and Roland D. Whitman. LAST MEETING OF MEN'S CLUB MONDAY. (Continued from page 1.) The war debt at of the struggle hundreds of years. the commencement was $27,000,000,000, and the amount of money expended each day is suf- ficinet to build the Panama Canal once a week," continued Dr. Harding. A 50 per cent tariff on the exports of any nation desiring war is the way Dr. Harding would solve the perma- nent peace problem. Prof. Lewis sailed into his subject, which was in favor of armament, with a confidence that made the audience think there might be righteousness in guns after all. He first made it clear to the listeners that he desired peace and would work for it as earnestly as the most intense pacifist, but he stated that the protection of the na- tion as a family must first be consid- ered before any future movement could be made. He quoted George Washington's remark, "In time of peace prepare for war," as the acme of wisdom where national safety was needed. Prof. Lewis, who has an un- usual knowledge of American history, brought up so many events to prove his point there did not seem to be much room for argument. "Many say that after this war is over there never will be another," said Prof. Lewis, "but that is untrue, for the lust of blood is in the veins of the fighting nations." He thinks that well pro- tected nations have had fewer wars and that those wars have been of shorter duration than if they had been unprotected. "Don't we respect little Belgium more for fighting with its back against the wall of its home than if it had surrendered without a struggle? "The navy could be kept up by the annual sum expended for chewing gum,' continued Prof. Lewis, "which shows the value of statistics. What would the effect be if I went home and took the lock off the front door 'and the latches off the windows in the belief no self-respecting burglar would enter? The trouble is most burglars are not self-respecting." BALL TEAM MAKES GOCD. The J. A. C.'s again won out against the Sacred Hearts, at the ball game, Wednesday afternoon, but the score was only 9 to 8. Gregory Fahey, while on third base, was knocked out by a high ball, but recovered enough to go on with the game.
