Thin, po,vp.mous Congressman.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuS-SIr "A hemon-
strant" seems to regard it as an argument against
.oual suffrage that a polygamous Congressman
sbou,d have been elected from Utah. The polyUa-
mons Congressman in question was the most prom
mont ovvonent Of equal suffrage in the Utah
constitutional Convention. He belongs not to the
sufragists but to the ants

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: An
ANONYMOUS correspondent OF THE Sun. com-
menting on n recent paragraph in the Womdn's
Journal about Colorado, says: THE writer in
the Wonldn's Journal might be challenged to
prove that any marked improvements OF any
kind due to the votes OF women have been
made in the county affairs OF Colorado-includ-
ing school matters-in the past five years. dur
ing which many women have held county and
school offices. She might also be challenged
to deny that it was generally understood that
no more women would be sent to the State
Assembly. because the experiment had not
proved satisfactory

women were elected 10 the Assembly 10, the
first Legislature. three in the second and three

Blizzard Philosophy.

From the NrbrdStd STATE Journal.
Again the drifting SHOWS descend
on p~rairies hat were brown and sero;
Beneath its weight the branches bend.
And ali the earth looks cold and drear.
Talk of melancholy days
Till thou hast soen such days as Those
When shall my fond, en%raptured gaze
Behold once moro the budding treesf
when shall the wild-bird music brnEi
When shall we hear the spotted cowf
Where are the early signs of spring
That should. by rights, be with US now 7
There's nothing now that ! admire
within the scope of mortal sight;
In lieu of " fine poetic tire,'
I'm warming up on anthracite.
The smoke ascends, pun after puff.
Toward a c~loud-enveloped sky;
The coal man gets my hard-earned stun
And get warm or Vainly try.
One lesson does this theme give birth
A lesson hard for man to learn
There Ia ne paradise on earth.
No matter where our footAteps turn
Nc spot is there upon this sphere
Where every want can be supplied;
Where all In light and life and cheer,
And none may die and none have died
Lite's riddle is a simple sum-.
And this the key to full success
Just kindly take things as they come
And be content with more or less.
And so l cease my wall of woe
And gladly stand up for the State;
Full harvestA sleep beneath the sno
And, As for summer, l can walt.

The wild, Elusive Hat.

Just watch the man pursue his hat
In wild despair;
Now right, now left. he wildly springs.
His legs and arms he twists and hings.
As blithely in Its swift career
II whirls and twirls in Spirals queer.
Till scarce he knows where he is At,
Or on the pavement sprAwling fiat,
He wants TO swear.
Now watch the people all go right
For that same tile!
They grab. they jab. like all possessed.
And each one tries to beat the rest
To stop that wild. elusive thing,
That gyrates like a bird on wing;
TIL finally 1t ends its flight
At some ones feet. whO grabs 1t tight,
With lordly smile.
Why dom the man with NOODLE bare
Just stand his ground
All things will come TO him who waits
which most to errAnt hats r~elEtes.
Besides. it's Just all kinds OF fun
To watch the people boot and run.
And some kind sou is always there
To bring 1t back. brushed up with care.
Al safe and sound.

Since Love IL Gone.

FROM Mc INTERCHANGEABLE JourndT.
Since love Ia gone. will everything seem dear
In dAy or night or season of the year,
The autumn twilight or the faint spring dawn
Will anything seem sweetZsince love 10 gomez
Since love IL gone, how shall I dare to go
Through old wood pathway that ! used TO know,
Seeking In sheltered spots fower~faces sweet
And talking to the brook beside my footf
Love was tho only theme we talked upon,
And will they know me now since love is gomez
Yet, when I sought them in their solitudoS
OF held, and hill, and overlapping woods,
They smiled at me in quite the Same old way.
And listening close l heard their voices says:
Tive things are sacred, dear. twtKt us and thoe,
And one is love and one Ia memory

An improved form or arrangement Of chemical
balance is announced as having been constructed
by Il, Hase of Hanover, connected with tho metal
lurgical lr oratory at hamburg Germany, the pecu-
liar serviceabloness OF which consists In Its marking
at once the approximate weight of the substanoe-ao-
complished by AN additional pointer. the latter ocou-
plying an inclined position and playing overA special
ly graduated arc. This pointer and the additional de-
vice are put in gear by means of a button on the glass
case OF the balance. In practice. the substance is put
in one pan and a number of weights in tho other. the
pointer then marking how many grams are still
wanting, 10 within Il few centigrams; the rest Of the
weighing can easily he performed with tho help OF
the rider only in the usual manner. Such a method
rs this. II is said, is particularly convenient for the
purpose Of weighing predetermined quantities; thN
platinum dish. for instance. can be hlled while
standing on the pan without arresting the balance.

is almost correct. The addition in question Is said
