NV Sweetheart.
BY =. W. 8.
FIRST VERSE.

There's the dearest sweetheart in all the
world,
with eyes Of black and hair all curl'd.
His cheeks are peachy and fair to see,
And his rosebud lips they smile at me.
They smile at me and they disclose
His pearly teeth in even rows
An me! an me! he's fair to see,
And live in the hope he'll be true To me.
For he's the dearest sweetheart in all
the world,
with his laughing eyes and his black
hair curled.
SECOND VERSE.
When him in the path Of right | see,
This same sweetheart he pleaseth me.
My step grows lighter and my laugh is
free,
And my heart with love glows tenderly.
My heart warns up, tho cold with pain,
And sunshine banishes all my rain.
THIRD VERSE
But when. ask me, the wrong is sown.
My eyes are dimmed and my lips make
moan,
MY heart,is torn and my soul Is cold,
For fear hurt TO the delicate mold.
But TO God who maketh all things right,
For this dear sweetheart | pray at night.
I've discovered my secret without alloy.
You have truly guessed, tits my little boy,
with his pretty ways he is half my world
And his laughing eyes and his black hair
curled,

CURRENCY BILL CHANGES.
MR.. SPRINGER AT WORK ON A
SUBSTITUTE.
DISCUSSING SOME AMENDMENTS.
Several Amendments Considered mt
Length and Decided Upon by secre-
tary Carlisle and the Banking
CommIttee's ChaIrmrn-T Three
Points Not Discussed
objections Made.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA conference
was held at the treasury departme mt
yesterday by Secretary Carlisle and
Chairman Springer of the house com
mittee on banking and currency rela-
tive to amending the Carlisle currency
bill now before the house.
The subject was gone over fully,
and as a result Mr. Springer will pro-
pose a number of amendments de-
signed to remove some of the objec-
tions against the bill. One objection
was that under section some banks
might be permitted to take the
circulation of 90 per cent of their
capital stock, while the bill limited
circulation to IS per cent of the
capital stock This would be remedied
by requiring the excess If any, to
be retired by deposit of green
backs, under the existing provisions
of law. The time in which the banks
will be required to comply with the
new law may be extended for two
years, and the house may fix by
amendment the time at more re-
mote date. The bill will be made
clear that bill holders OF nation al
bank notes will be protected during
the time the old banks are conform
ing to the new law. Another amend
ment will provide that the govern
ment will receive the old notes for
internal taxes and cancel them and
issue notes under the new law.
At the conference there was no
consideration of three important
amendments which have been urged
on the door of the house-the issue of
bonds to retire outstanding green
backs, the elimination of state banks
and the limiting of banks liability
for the losses TO other banks to l per
cent As to bond issue to retire the
green backs, this will probably be of
fered as an amendment but it is be-
lieved that the feeling against bond
issues will defeat it. The elimination
of state banks and the limiting OF
bank liabilities will also be presented
as independent amendments.
