A Lovely Chicago Rom ancc.

my own darling"
George w. Simpson says these words softly TO
himself as he lies in the hammock under the lin
den trees, the soft breath of June zephyr kissing
the pearl colored pants that fit him so SUDDENLY,
and then rioting among the scarlet bank Of roses
that are climbing In fancifu ways around the
pillars that guard the entrance TO Distress War
rant Castle. She of whom he speaks them Is a
beautiful girl with dusky, ptqudnte faee-a face
faces can be, and over the laughing lace is fluffy
mass of dark waving hair; while a pair of pansy-
dark eyes with golden lights in their soft depths
and sweetly curving lips tinted with the vclvety
crimson of the rose complete picture that would
make your head swim.
Refine McCloskey is indeed beautiful, and as she
comes singing along the graveled path with the
golden light of a summer day ialliug upon her
uncovered head, the very birds that are caroling
among the branches of the lndens seem to pause
and look at her. She sings i'll low. sweet voice
that is tremulous with dinner little B:eton love-
song that she had heard in Milwaukee,:
Mary Ann Mclaughlin, don't you cry,
Wipe the tear -drt p5 from your eye;
You'll be happy byand-by-
Mary Ann Mclaughlin don't you cry.
The pure, Madonna like face Of the young man
lifts ilself from the depths OF the hammock aud he
looks at the girl with weary, wistful, two-hot-
that would move plumber. She sees him and
runs eagerly to the hammock. Putting her dimple
arm around his neck she kisses the rosebud mouth
and then seats herself by his side.
"DO you love me as much day ns you did last
Thursday she asks, while the brown eyes sparkle
with mcrriment. But back of the laughing look
there Is tender loving, I-must- not let. him get
away expression that tells how she worships tn s
man"
"Y Yes, sweetheart" rerlicd George. az love you
much Ns you used to."-From Lore in Hammock,

Postal Currency.

a few days ago we alluded in a brief
article to the necessity for some postal
arrangement by which small sums of
money could be easily and safely trans
mitted through the mails The House
Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads have had this subject under con
sideration and have prepared bill hav-
ing for its object the securing of this
needed convenience.
This bill provides for the issue of
money orders for sums under five dol
lars, payable to bearer on demand at any
money order Office which the sender shall
select, for a fee of four cents. This Is,
perhaps, about as small charge as the
service performed will justify. AS the
order must be enclosed in an envelope
the full cost of sending small sums this
way will be usually seven cents; but as
the envelope will ordinarily enclose also
written communication, the cost of the
postage stamp will not properly be
charged to the cost of the order. The
alteration of the postal order is rendered
impossible by the amount being indicated
by punching from three rows of figures
on the margin those representing respec-
lively the amount of dollars, dimes and
cents which the order calls for. The
chief safeguard against theft is the small
amount for which the notes are issued,
but there is at least no more danger of
loss from this source than existed in the
case of the fractional currency.
The change proposed accords with the
recommendations of both the last Post
master General and his immediate prede-
cessor. The committee adopts their
further suggestion that the maximum
limit of a money order be made one hun
dred dollars instead of fifty dollars. The
charges proposed are very nearly the
same as at present, eight cents instead of
ten being the lowest charge for sums
not exceeding ten dollars, and for sums
over thirty dollars the average charge Of
one half of one per cent Is retained.
This legislation meets with general ap.
proval, as it is argued that the govern
ment could even now transact its money
order business at a profit at a considera-
bly, smaller cost to the public.

Hon. George r. Black.

Col. Morgan Rawls, of bingham
county. passed through this city yester-
day, en- route to his home, having left
Washington city Thursday morning
He brings good news of the condition
of Col Black, and by him that gentle
man sent his greetings to all his friends
and constituents of the First district.
Colonel Rawls states that our afflicted
Congressman is rapidly recovering the
use of his lower limbs, and on Tuesday
morning last was able to move his legs,
and was otherwise much improved. His
physicians are now confident of his COM
plete recovery, though it will probably
be some months yet before he is fully
restored. This good news will be CRATE
fully received by the many friends of
Col. Black throughout Georgia, and es-
peciallY by the people whom he so ably
represents in Congress. We hope soon
to welcome him in our midst, and trust
that the balmy breezes Of his native State
will speedily give him complete health,
and a renewed lease on life.

The bricklsyers' strike at Philadelphia
is probably the most formidable move
ment of the kind yet witnessed this sea-
son. For the moment it has brought all
building enterprises to dead halt. The
present pay of the workmen, it would
appear, is 81 rs; the strike is for SO 90
Not only that, but they want nine hours
to count as days work, instead of ten as
now. The bosses will not listen to this,
which they characterize as unreasonable,
unjust, etc. The bod carriers having
also caught the infection, have likewise
thrown down the bod and demand an
advance from s. to 81 so per day.
Whereupon the New York Commercial
Bulletin says: so it goes. Perhaps
it is just as well that the move
ment should push on and exhaust
itself as speedily as possible. 1t
is a sort of spring fever that will run its
course without particular regard to what
is reasonable. 1t will speedily work its
own cure, however, through the opera
ton of natural laws beyond the control
of trades unions. With a stoppage of
work comes a stoppage of pay, and that
starts a serious question with the land
lord, the butcher and baker, which will
have to be met, no matter who works or
who goes idle"

The decline of the power in the Re
publican party in the West is strikingly
illustrated by the fact that deadlock on
the apportionment question is predicted
as one of the near events of the extra
session of the Illinois Legislature. There
has not been day when the Republi-
cans could present a quorum in the
House, and now to avoid a stand
still, the Republican party lash is WELD
ed in most vigorous manner. Says a
prominent Republican leader Of that
State: 1--WE have three or four members
on our side of the House who might
more appropriately occupy seats on the
Democratic side. These men are politi-
cal cranks who have no future this side
of heaven, and, realizing their inability
to accomplish any good, have deter
mined to do all the harm they can"

on record is the season of 1923, when the
artificial streams were thrown open to

Last Tuesday the negroes were shame
fully defrauded, as usual, by their Re
publican friends at an election in ST.
Joseph, Missouri. James Trent, negro
man Of excellent qualifications and good
character, was the Republican candidate
for register. Because Of this nomination
and liberal professions of friendship the
negro vote, amounting TO probably
six hundred, and enough to elect the Re
publican ticket, was secured. But poor
Trent, who was not nominated to be
elected, was scratched and beaten by
four hundred, while the balance Of his
ticket was elected by more than five
hundred. VIII our coIored citizens

The Philadelphia Record is of the
opinion that the fortitude of the South
ern people in misfortune must command
the admiration of the world. 1t says &C
counts from all sections of theinunda-
ted regions agree that the people. white
and black, seem cheerful, notwithstsnd-
ing the terrible ordeal through which
they are passing. and they look forward
10 better times in the future. One of the
most significant features in connection
with the widespread ruin that has over
taken both planter and laborer is the
kindly assistance that planters who can
command the means are giving to the
cOlored laborers, and the inducements
they are holding out to them to return
to the plantations and go to work.

The House is still busily engaged in
making raids on the Treasury. On Tues
day last bills were passed, under suspen-
sion Of the rules, which Will probably
result in the expenditure of at least two
millions Of money. One of the most
important Of these directed the readjust-
ment of the salaries Of POstmasters Of
the third, fourth, and fifth classes under
the act Of 1864 1t is estimated that the
claims covered by this bill viii not fall far
below one million The aggregate amount
appropriated by bills passed on that
day for public buildings in Louisville,
Rochester, Columbus and Minneapolis is
s.. ia. 900. There are about forty bills
of this sort on the calendar, representing
nearly all the States, and combination
embracing over two-thirds of the House.
It Is said that some Of the Republican
managers are growing nervous over the
outlook, and are getting anxious to apply
the brakes to the appropriation wheel in
Tiew Of the Congressional elections.

necessary to the accomplishment of his

The Canadian Pacific syndicate are
beginning to avoid the terms of their
contract They agreed to carry the rail
way through the Yellowhead Pass and
down the valley Of the Thompson river
to KamloOps. The consideration they
received in lands and money was based
on the difficulties of this route, which
was desirable because it secured railway
facilities for a region likely to be left
destitute without it. The syndicate have
decided not TO build on this route, but
to cross the mountains farther south to
save distance and expense.
