Ir. Reed that he is putting himself to
great deal OF unnecessary trouble in
the study Of this italian model. There

although the same men expressed a
willingness to furnish gold for an
unlimited amount of 3 per cent.
gold bonds. The President had
this offer more than week ago,
but he held il in allegiance until
the House defeated the bill provid-
ing for 3 per cent. gold bonds.
Then he accepted the offer to the
amount of 100000 ounces of
standard gold coin, which will re-
quire the issuing Of within frac-
ton of $62, 400, 900 in bonds, with a
proviso that the gold should be
paid for at the same price with z

dent in desiring to put the House
on record on this matter of say
ing $4,000, 900. He holds with
the President that the question of
whether a man favors or opposes
bonds does not enter the question
now. That has been settled and
the bonds are to be issued under
law for which this Congress is not
responsible. The only question at
issue, according to the Presidents
opinion is whether $I6,ooo,ooo
shall be saved or not. The silver
men claim that the authorization of
a gold bond by Congress will be
equivalent to an official endorse
ment of the single gold standard,
and that claim is what will pre-
vent many Democrats voting for

Whether Congress acts or re-
fuses to act it is generally believed
that the present bond issue will

Secretary Carlisle believe that get

When across the roee-strewn path that
We had hoped to tread
Some rude unlocked for barrier lifts its
wall.
From out our heavy grief we are won't
to weave
For the whole wide world, sable pail.
When on our brow the thorns OF disap-
pointment press
And circumstances drive us in stony
path.
We rail against the world and scott at
hope
Ard blame high heaven in our fretful
wrath.
But though the disappointments come,
and smarting thorns,
And all our hopes lie as a broken
wreck,
Yet must We learn that in the sorrow Of
this world
One hearts sorrow is but a tiny fieck.
For there has been since first the human
heart
Began to beat its own soft muffied
knell,
Great sorrows that have reached to
heaven itself,
And down to the very gates Of hopeless
hell.
But only one amidst the multitude has
died
Because his sorrow broke his human
heart,
And he it was who on the blood stained
Tore death black veil Of fearful gloom
apart.
And so when sorrow lays a heavy hand
upon your head
And circumstances lash you with a
scourge Of pain,
Know that your lot is but the common
lot Of man
A part of the worlds great solemn
