500, 054.66. The total expenditures were
$62S, 658. 80. The receipts over the ex.
penditures were 81, 400 SO. The Com

has recognized the fact that the work Of
the Patent Office is radically different
from that Of other bureaus, providing
different qualifications ON the part of its
employees, and, hence, he has not inter-
fered with its peculiar duties. In conclu-
sion, the Commissioner urges the neces.
sity for more working ROOM and room

ing them out of respectable society,

sirable, and their positionis regard
ed as one to be coveted. Wall

Gus than all, because they are car

them except in rousing the moral

them, and in the social prescription
of all engaged in them. They do

LEGIsLATIEG IN IDAHo.-Some
very amusing things (writes a cor
respondent at Stockton. Califor-
nia) happened during the session
Of the Idaho legislature held dur
ing the winter OF 1907 Among
them this is worthy of pressrva-
ton:
A certain lady having become
weary Of the companionship of a
drunken husband, thought she
might obtain divorce in shorter
and cheaper way than by applying
to the courts. Some friends OF
hers, members of the Legislature,
accordingly drafted bill, and pre-
scented it to the consideration OF
the House. 1t met with favor
able reception, and was put upon
its first, second and third readings,
and passed without even the form.

One of the members, who WIS q
little disguised with this summary
way of usurping the proper duty
of the court, and who had voted
against the bill, arose and said:

Soaring A sERENADER.

| Last night as our reporter was
going home at late hour he heard
sweet strains of music, at least
what he at first supposed to DC
music, but which proved TO oe
principally sstrains" and other
sounds that seemed to come from
q bosom racked with anguish, or 8
stomach overloaded with green
fruit. Softly our reporter drew
near, and discovered from whence
the sounds proceeded. a youth,
over whose lip the barber could
not have slipped the back of his
razor more than twice, stood lean
ing against a gatepost, with his
eyes fixed upon a chamber in the
second story of the house before
him. In his hands he held q
guitar, upon which he picked with
the air of one who is certain he is
on the right string, while from his
parted lips came the following
song:
have lo-heved the-he Zula Zo-hong,
Fo-nor th-hy life was all sa-hongi
Wa-wa-has all y chee-heer1ul smi bile;
Wa-has su-hunshine all the wh-hile.
Here the young man paused to
spit and fill up again with wind,
and then struck into the chorus:)
Oh, Zu-hula, mouIde-hing Zu-huia,
Si-hIlent is thy silver so-hong! sa.
oh, ZR-hula, da-harling Zu-hula,
De-hear departed Zula ZOng-ong-ong.
The singer here took rest of q
few seconds, looked anxiously
down the street to soc that no po-
iicemen were in sight, then, throw
ing peculiar, plaintive sound in
his voice, he sang:
When tte mo-hoon is sti-hi-ninS DER
the la-lake,
Oh, the-hen I'll thi-think of thee-he-
hc-hee! 1861.
Oh, the-hen, ooh, tle-he-hen I'll Thu
hi-hi-hink of thee-ee-ee!
Here the front door was sudden
" opened, a sspulchural voice said,
Sick him, Tige" and out bounc-
ed a dog about the size of -four
barrel and with a good set of
natural teeth.
The singer turned back SOM
ersault out of the gate, and with |
The dog nipping at his coat-tail at
every jump, disappeared down
.oward the heart Of the city.
Our reporter turned and left the
spot, but not until he had seen a
niddle-aged man, with a single
garment with an abbreviated mar
alive, rolling over in the hallway,
with mirth, and saying,
whenever he stopped laughing
ong enough to say anything, "Oh-
he-hen, oh-the-hen, I'll think of
heer -a- - tEaaE 0E!I
The reporter had walked several
blocks from where the scene des-
ribbed occurred, passing q broken
;uitar that lay in the edge OF the
utter, when he met the dog re-
urning with a wild expression in
is eye, and a pair of suspenders
nd a portion of coat-tail in his
Mouth.
Such is life among the lowly in
and we believe that the
curse of true love is more tumui-
uous and rough than anywhere.
