The ap JUDGE WALTER'S POEM. To accept this fine fountain and all it portends, Affords me great pleasure, kind neighbors and friends. Here sentiments rise, of which not the least, Is, a merciful man is good to Here the wayfaring Chief, Nick Morgan, can stop, With his prisoner and compatriot cop, Here they can give him his first sober drink. And give him full time to repentantly think, And point with much pride to the statue above. And teach their last "pinch" some soldierly love.

The monument's placed right here in the street, Where Mayor and Council it always will greet. Let's hope t'will inspire them all to take heed Of the laws they will make and the virtues they'll need. Let its pure sparkling water like nectar divine. Their judgment, their wisdom and purpose enshrine, To teach them full well, their duties perform, Where graft never rtftes, nor sorrow nor storm. Help them settle that Doctor Cook found the pole, And that Peary long after found only the hole, And in disgust from the North turned about To cuss and abuse and sulkingly pout.

Here will Editors Cleaver and Kembel be fed, With new inspirations, new thoughts for the head, Here Hopwood's quartette may sing with much force. As Major Montelius rides by on his horse. Here, with joy, Joe Gould and his comrades may rest. And think how they gave to their country the best, Of health, of youth, of strength, and never did" shirk, The battles where death forever did lurk. Here preacher, merchant and miner may stop To drink and learn from the statue on top.

Come fountain of mercy and blessings apart, We take thy kind token with joy to the heart. We'll keep you and hope that you ever may shine, And reflect as at present, your noble design. And now, as we scatter and leave this bright spot, We'll ever rejoice and be filled with the thought, That both donor and people will ever be led, By the hand that takes care that the sparrows are fed. May the soldier erect, forever stand guard, That each cup of cold water may have its reward. pointment is for duty during the terms of Civil and Criminal Court.
