dense. I was out to gatlher in the

something in all life a colleen
voice. She was singing "W\hen This
('ruel War Is Over." The clear notes of
Cloated upward and were slenit among
('a
the stars. .\h. but site was a pretty
creature' I couldn't see her for the
fog was very heavy. She was some- as
where over there and I was over her.
I know that she was pretty, becaust
lshe owned that girlish voice, and that at
girlisli voicet was Irish. I believed in
the fairies then. I wish I could be
lice in them now. There was noth
ing earthly nor sordid in that belief. a

of SHOTS FIRED INTO
RECTOR'S RESIDENCE.
sh A few days ago a dispatch from Co
ng lumbus, Mississippi, to one of our
ed evening papers recited the firing of a
at shot Into the residence of Rev. W. S.
ub Slack. now rector of St. Paul's Epis
t copal Church at Columbus, Miss. The
,he article gave little details, but it was
i, presumed that the shot was fired by
al some drunken person. Later in the
Sweek, however, another dispatch froni
tub Columbus, under date of December
18th, gives the following account and
also gives some evidence of a general
shake-up in the police force of that
nd thriving little city. The dispatch fol
lows:
Id- Columbus, Miss., Dec. 18.-With the
de- dismissal of two members of the po
lice force and the request for the res
and Ignation of Chief T. G. Munger, Mayor
Gunter has inaugurated a movement
s for the enforcement of the gambling
he and liquor laws of the state and city.
lo- The mayor has appointed Officer John
Morton acting chief, and two more of
icers have been added to the force.
The shake-up in the police depart
atly ment came as the result of the failure
ng, of repeated efforts, on the part of the
and mayor, according to his own state
for ments, to secure satisfactory results
ord from the department in the enforce
Smeat of the gambling and liquor laws.
t The action of the mayor came in
response to public sentiment, ex
ed pressed through representations of
prominent citizens, agaist alleged
will open and flagrant violations of the
r- law. An act which brought the crsdis
in the situation and which precipttat
the. ed the action of the mayor, was the
