And now she dwells where neither
doubt nor fear, may find her
breast.
No trying pain may now disturb her
or break her rest.
Ended the ache of living. Here she
lies in wondrous peace.
God left a smile about her lovely
eyes with her release.
How oft we fretted her or caused her
pain, we cannot say.
Long hours she watched beside the
window pane with us away.
Her sleep we broke with whimper
ings and sighs when we were ill
Nor thought it much to rouse her
with our cries as children will.
But now we suffer so, and vainly
call for her to come.
Her feet will never tread again
the hall. Her lips are dumb.
1 i t -'E.UWfttga
Love lias no more sweet service to
provide; But this we know.
She'll watch for us upon the other
side, who loved her so.

POLICE WAR ON SPEEDERS
From Friday's Daily
The members of the night police

some time with small commercial
trucks from Omaha, used in hauling
chickens from the rural districts,
making a speedway of highway No.

officers cracking down on two of
these. !

truck who was speeding down Chi

ficer and escorted down to the city
jail. A cash bond of $25 was sup
plied and the truck driver allowed
to go on his way at a lower rate of
speed.

an alleged speeder on Chicago ave
nue when Sam Sapre and his Ford
truck was overhauled by the officer
and he too compelled to put up a
cash bond in the sum of $25 for his
appearance here Saturday for hear
ing on the charge of speeding.
There has been much complaint
of the rate of speed of cars and
trucks on the avenues, made by resi
dents along these thoroughfares and
the officers are opening a war on
those who fail to keep within the
limits of speed.
The next session of the city coun

speed regulations which are now be
ing worked out by a committee and
