Gently introduced regarding the alleged
violation of the civil service law by gov
ernment officials in Alabama, and recon-
mending that an investigation be made
by committee of three, to be appointed
by the speaker. The floor was then ac
corded, under the special order, to the
committee on labor. A bill was passed
granting thirty days leave of absence
each year to employees in the bureau of
engraving and printing The next bill was
to limit the daily service of labOrers and
mechanics employed upon the public
works of the United States. The bill
extends the provisions of the eight hour
law Of 1868 to laborcrs and mechanics
in the employ of contractors and sub
contractors on government works, and
makes it illegal to allow a laborer or
mechanic to work more than eight hours
day, thus prohibiting evasion of the
law. 1t imposes proper penalties for
wllful violation of the law and provides
measures to secure It's enforcement. Mr..
Tarsney (dem.) of Missouri said that the
bill would secure a practical enforce
ment intended to be secured by the law
of 1868. Mr.. Powers (rcp) of Vermont
opposed the bill and thought that if
man desired to work more than eight
hours day he should be allowed
to 90 SO. Mr.. Chapman (dem) of Michi-
gan, favored the bill 1t was clearly in
the interest of the laboring classes Eight
hours day was sufficient for laboring
men. More than that would make them
beasts of burden. Excessive labor tend
ed to make men dscontented, unsocial
and vicious. He believed that the laborer
needed rest and family affiliation. The
debate continued in a perfunctory way

The amethstine lines of evening were
growing into darker puppies and the
puppies into black.
On the little vine clad porch of the old
house the two sat silent, as they had
been sitting since the sun had thrown
its first long farewell shadows across
the fields
What thoughts were i'll their minds no
look or motion of theirs betrayed.
They were as silent as the stars, which
one by one began to peep above the dark
line of the hills.
Here and there II cricket chirped its
vesper hymn, and in the old tree beyond
the road Il roosting fowl at intervals
croaked contcntedly.
1t was Il time when hearts may beat
in harmony and souls i'll wordless meas
ures make music to each other.
At such an hour peace spreads her
gentle wings and all the turmoils of the
world run to her shielding breast and
sink to sleep.
Softly the man put out his hand and
touched his companion on the arm.
The touch was light, but it was
enough.
"What is it," came the gentle query
in response.
The man moved his chair little
closer.
Jim" he said, ''can You give me a
