..- Any White Males. "a -
Mr.. Charles H. J. Taylor of Kansas, who
succeeded In becoming recorder of deeds for
this District some little time ago. Is not
achieving. 1t Is said. startling success in the
strict fulfiflment Of REORGANIZATION prom
ises. 1t will be remembered that Mr. ,ray-
lor was quite liberal with the Offices in the
gift of the recorder during the long and anx-
ious time when he was as much In the
dark as to the future as were the citizens
of the District. Especially was the Hon.
John Martin, Senator from Kansas, sup
piled with unlimited prospective patronage.
1t was generally supposed that his calls
upon Mr.. Taylor for appointments would
In the case Of Mr.. Taylor's success, be hon.
ored as promptly as the bank check of AN
Aston. This was because of the gratitude
which Mr.. Taylor was understood to feel for
the Kansas man who recommended him 10
the President for any office outside Of the
state Of Kansas"
1t may be that MFR. Taylors arithmetic
was faulty and that he Offered more offices
than the law grants to the recorder. OF
1t may be that his memory was bad and
his promises left little or no impression on
his mind. Whatever the cause, the result
has been very unfortunate, not only for Mr.
Taylor, but for his senatorial supporters
and their constituents. After failing In the
effort to get two quarts of water out of a
ohC-pudit jug, idyiOT Is HOW engaged In
embarrassing explanations, which are pass
ed along by the Senators to their constit-
uents, who are waiting and wondering.
Senator Martin is keeping very still about
the matter, but ii is said that he is carry
ing on vigorous line of thought. One
cause of his peculiarly reflective mood is
attributed to a particular case which has
been called to his attention during tic past
few DAYS. The constituent of ives tern
Senator has for some time been trying to
obtain position in the recorders office
He secured the recommendation of his own
Senator and that of another from a far
western state, in addition to the indorse-
ment of Mr.. Martin. The last was thought
to be an open sesame to the closed doors OF
the recorders office. After waiting for sey-
eral days the applicant received reply
from Mr.. Taylor acknowledging the receipt
or the Endorsements. and adding: There
Is no question about my disposition to help
you. The influence of these gen tlemen is suf-
ficlent to get the place, but / nave no DO
sition in my gift except such as are filled
by ladies' Mr.. Taylor added d postscript
as follows: Can you get them to recon-
mend an entirely competent lady in whom
you are interested"
This was not wholly satisfactory to the
applicant, who wrote again, with the result
that Mr.. Taylor informed him that no
white males are to be employed in his
office. This discourl aged the applicant, who
fell within that designa ton, and he has de-
sisted from the quest OF the position IN the
recorders office. of which there keemed 10
be such plenty during the past winter.

"a Life on the Ocean Wave!''
The man who wrote it was green
He never has been at sea,
And storm he never has seen.
He never has seen n wave
As it dashed DER the vessels deck;
He never has seen a fire at sea
Or been floating upon wreck.
He never has been aroused
From his mornings gentle dose
By the sound of the splashing water
As it fell from the horrid hose.
He never has heard a man
Scrubbing right over his head
With a noise sufficient to rouse
From the grave the siumbering dead.
Seasick he never has been to his toes
And crept into bed in his coat,
While every motion increased his thrOes
And his feelings were all in his throat.

In some puddle or on sound,
But ii he has been to sea and wrote
Such song he deserves to be drowned.

toni
The recent death of an honored Confed
crate veteran in small southern town has
brought about the revelation of one of the
most remarkable and successful cases Of
deception that has ever fallen beneath my
notice. For various reasons, which will
become obvious to the readers of this &C
count, shall not give this mans true
name. hut will call him Paul Blake.
Blake was New Englander by birth,
but being left an orphan when he was IA,
he ran away from his guardians home
and travelled over various portions of this
country and Europe before reaching the
years Of manhood, so he really became
somewhat cosmopolitan by nature
When the civil war came on he enlisted
in the northern army and was in
Frenchs division of COUGHS corps at the
time the battle of Charlottesville took
place. He fought bravely, with, as he
could plainly see, little or no chance OF
promotion.
In the course of an engagement he re
ceived "a bullet wound in the head that
rendered him unconscious for the time
and when he really came to himself again,
he was wandering about in dense piece

THE GREAT PARIS CONVENT.
Its Important Part In the Feminine World
of the French Capital.

Its Important Part In the Feminine World |
of the French Capital.
For strangers it is difficult to realize the |
part which the convent of the Sacre-Cueur |
plays in the existence of the Partisan great |
world, and, in fact, of the whole French |
aristocracy. There is scarcely a woman of
any social prominence on either bank Of
the Seine who has not received her educa-
ton within the walls of this celebrated es
tablishment, and who has not since main
tanned in a lesser degree her connection
Herewith, by enrolling herself among the
nsmbers of an association called the Danes
Efffants de Marie, which is composed ex.
clusively of former pupils. Once "A year
the members perform retreat of eight
days devoted to prayer and meditation in
the convent, which was their school in
times gone by.
As BELTS so aristocratic an institution,
it is located in the very heart of the noble
Faubourg St. German in the Rue de Va
renne, the building having served in turn
as palace of the Duchess de Maine, of
the Due de Biron, and of the Due de Cha
rost, whose widow sold it in 1920 to Nine.
Barat, the founder of the order. Nine.
Barat, who died as recently as 1865, was
the daughter of cooper. She was intiu-
enced in the shaping of her career by the
fact that her brother was priest OF re-
markable eloquence and enlightenment,
and ii was in Difference to his advice that
at the beginning of this century she first
laid the foundation alike of her order and
of her school For the latter she quickly
/ obtained pupils. Converts at that time
| had all been destroyed and their inmates
| dispersed, and means Of education for
| young girls of noble birth just then were
] exceedingly rare. So great was the sue
| cess of Nine Barat that just about the
/ epoch when Napoleon married the Aus
| trian Archduchess Marie Louise Nine.
Barat was elected superior of the order,
her deputy being the Comtesse de Gram
mont, who had been lady in waiting to
Marie Antoinette.
The school occupies the mansion itself,
while the majority of the nuns are housed
| in separate buildings, which, in several
cases, We're formerly used by the servants
of the original proprietors. One of the fea-
lures of the convent is its extensive gar
| dens, some 10 acres in area, and grand old
trees situated in the very center OF Paris
beneath the shade of which in their school
years have lived such great ladies as the
Duchesse de Rohan, the Duchesse Ursel,
Comtesse de Lostange, Comtesse de la
Garde, Comtesse de Nun, the Marquise
Hervey de Saint Denis, and last but not
least, the three daughters Of Queen lisa
bella of Spain, one Of whom, the Infauta
Eulalie, is so well known in the United
States.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

What is the better part in life2
The impulse of silent sympathy
That in the worlds harsh song of wrong and
strife
Attunes chord of sweet tranquility
To thrill the darkness OF some heart to light
And send it singing larklikc on its way
Above the low hung clouds out into day.
What is the better part in life?
That faith, the inner sight, which needs not
fear
The darkling shadows of approaching night,
Nor yet the somber promise of swift coming
years;
But holds the last still ray of sunset light
Till the first evening star illumes the night.
What is the better part in life2
The royalty which, born of truth and right,
Brings consciousness of mans nobility;
That sets diadem of might and light
Upon his brow with every duty done,
With every battle bravely waged and won.
What is the better part in life?
That brotherhood of man, strong, quick to feel
A weaker brothers fall and help him rise,
Or else, if needs with him to kneel
Beneath the shadow and in silence wait
Until the welcome rays of morning break.
What is the better part in life?
J The love that helps another to the right;
The faith that turns the darkness into noon;
The sympathy that dulls mans murmured
strife,
And whatsoever helps make earth's music rife
With heaven, adds to the better part in life.
