worse In health. Finally on the ad-
vice of a Philadelphia physician she
went to the seashore for a prolonged
stay where under the care of n trained
nurse It was hoped that the air and
the baths might be cfllcaCious. There
was no Improvement. and she returned
home to die. as everyone, including
herself, believed. Suddenly after some
weeks she began to recover and was
soon walking about her room, a feat
she had not accomplished in many
months Her recovery was rapid and
she has for several years been in the
most robust health.
No one is able to tell just what pro-
duced the cure, but had 1t occurred in
this day under faith or Christian Sci
ence treatment, to which it would be
but natural to resort when everything
else had failed, she would probably
have been sounding the tocsin of her
miraculous restoration, and giving the
faith healers the glory. This Is but
one instance among many when the
patient would undoubtedly have re-
covered under almost any method,
thanks to the recuperative qualities Of
mother nature.

q GENTLEMAN residing in Har.
~ risburG has communicated to
4 " the Outlook an outpouring
Of his discomfort at the still
voluminous red tape required in the
transaction of business with the War
department. In the course of business
he is brought into contact with two
departments of the government. One
of these, the postoffice department,
presents no difficulties whatever It's
mail system is simple and expeditions
and in it's money order branch it last
year handled $410, OO0, 900 of the peoples
money in sums averaging not over 81
with the loss of only about $40 in all.
The gentleman in Harrisburg does
printing for the War department for
the use Of officers stationed at Camp
Meade, The contract amounts, he
says, to about 800 a year. yet in it's
forms it is appalling in its detail and
ridiculous in its minuteness. Five
copies were made, taking twenty sig
natures and hours of time. After four
weeks II is discovered by some one at
Washington, employed apparently to
count the drops in a quart of ink, that
the quartermaster's clerk had written
one word enormously, in a totally un-
important and unessential part Of the
quintuplicate contract. Therefore, five
more documents have been written and
laborlously executed When I went to
sign them, it appeared that my rubber
stamp for the name of the corporation
spelled out the word Company, where
as the War department sand-counter
had used the abbreviation Co l was
gravely informed that this would Vi
tiate the contract, and so managed to
hold off the five superlluOus letters.
Two bills have been rendered under
this contract, for about six dollars in
all. Each has taken an hours careful
study, and the quartermaster's clerk
tells me that they will probably come
| back for correction, Is 1t any wonder
the War department needs about six
hundred funerals in high official lfe?"
Complaint at such exhaustive mi
nuteness of detail is natural, especially
from those not accustomed to it. But
| if there is never any worse thing to he
| justly said Of the American War de-
| partment than that 1t is extremely
| careful to prevent clerical mistakes,
the public can put up with its cers-
| monious ways quite handily.

AMONG THE POETS.
Dreyfus.

Not in the cloudy mountain top.
Majestic and alone,
Truth lifts her ponderous sceptre up
And rears her awful throne;
But in the crowded market-place
And In the prison-pen-
Her judgment-sea Is on the street
And In the haunts Of men.
She hales the mighty to her bar,
She bids the low arise,
For craft and power are all in vain
TO blind her piercing eyes.
Before her still and serious gaze
The naughty take alright
Their lust and lore and golden store
Are ashes in her sight
She watched them mass their frowning
troops
And fling their banners high;
She saw them brand the innocent
And cast him out to die;
They stripped the buttons from his coat,
They marched him round to view.
And aimed Il sudden ringing stroke
At sword and spirit, too.
And only she of all the throng
That watched his sore disgrace
Let fall n plying tear to match
The anguish of his face.
From loneliness to loneliness
His barren pathway led.
And none may know the stihed woe
That shook the prisoners bed.
The love of God, divinely great,
Is yet divnely small.
1t notes the eagle in his flight
The sparrow in his fall.
Away from those who wrong the weak
1t turns its patient face,
But bears relief to bitter grief
In the far desert-place
1t swept across the tropic sea,
1t sought the captive out.
1t Cheered him on his lonely strand
And compasscd him about.
And Truth, who works her miracles
Within the sight of men,
Rebuked the foes that round him rose
And bore him home again.
Shall earthly pomp and earthly plot
Or yet the assassin's wrath,
Avail to check imperial Truth
Or turn her from her path?
Through all the army's tented fields
Her silent Couriers run,
And soon or late, as sure as fate,
Gods Justice will be done!

Didn't need q hathtub
On his Manila trip,
Didn't boast of fighting,
Never had the grip,
Sank the Spanish navy
In manner new.
Honored grand "Old Glory
Did it shipshape, too.
Didn't mention canned beef,
Got no reprimand,
Went about his business,
Simple like and bland;
Never wrote for magazines,
Had no tale to tell,
Led the fleet while fighting,
The whole world said, "'Tis WELL"
Ate salt pork in Hong Kong,
Never asked for pie,
Didn't wire Hot weather here,'
Didn't groan or sigh,
Didn't ask to come home,
Stuck right to his ship,
Didn't get a bit scared,
Took no foreign lip.

A Vision of Contentment.

Here where the ripple of the lazy stream
Scarce breaks the silence of the summer
air
Rich with perfume of rose and blossom
rare
Upon this grassy bank | lie and dream;
Watching the checkered sunshine CLINT
and CLEAN
Upon the shady pool that trembles there,
OF Sun-doWned meadows that so dis
tant seem.
Be mine today the shepherds 10y and
ease
The joy that comes with calling life
your own,
The ease you feel when, stretched be-
meath the trees,
You count the drifting clouds, and hear
the drone
OF honey-sotted bees, and ask no lot
Save life and pipe, with trouble all forgot.

INHE committee OF the Ameri-
can Bar association on
n commercial law has under
taken to note, year by year,
the operation of the bankruptcy law
and to suggest changes if any seem ad-
visable. Its report for the present year.
presented at Buffalo yesterday, is pre-
liminary and tentative. The commit
tee finds that the provisions of the law
for involuntary bankruptcy have not
yet been tested in the courts to any
appreciable extent, and 1t is evidently
Of the opinion that the voluntary bank
ruptcy feature has been overworked in
the interest of fraudulent debtors, but
it is not yet prepared TO offer specific
criticism, preferring to await further
study and consultation with represen-
tative commercial bodies. It's conclu-
sions are enumerated as follows:
"i. That a bankruptcy law is wise and
henefiCent legislation.
80 That the general features of the
present bankruptcy law should have the
approval and support of the bar and the
commercial community.
'S That whatever amendments are
made to the provisions of the law rclat-
ing to voluntary bankruptcy should be m
the line of a better protection to the cred
itor against fraud in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.
a. That the amendments to the provis-
ions of the law relating to involuntary
bankruptcy should be along the lines of
a better remedy for the creditor for
fraud, actual or contemplated, on the
part of the debtor previous to the instl-
tuition of bankruptcy proceedings.
rs. That the ideal bankruptcy law is
one that (a) allows every honest debtor
to procure a speedy discharge from his
obligations upon the surrender of all his
property; (b) gives every creditor COM
plete remedy against actual or contcm-
plated fraud on the part of the debtor;
and (c) Furnishes all fraud on the part
Of debtor or creditor with relentless Sc
verify"
These are pre-eminently safe gener-
alities hardly needing the august in
dorsement of committee of the
American Bar association. Tndoubt-
adly a bankruptcy law is needed, but
on general principles of righteousness
there must be radical faults in a law
like that now in operation, which
every day is grinding out generations
to men whose liabilities are measured
in the thousands of dollars, but whose
reported assets are nil.

~ THE most dangerous element
in any community is made
a up of pious men who have
more sentimentality than
common sense. We have an illustra-
tion Of this element in our own coun-
try in the gentlemen who are wasting
tears of sympathy on the treacherous
Filipinos and playing treason from
mistaken motives when common sense
utterly condemns their maudlin tac-
tics.
Somewhat akin to them in mental
processes are the Beers of South Afri-
ca, who seem at last determined TO
monkey with the English buzz saw
and learn wisdom at the cost of un-
necessary bloodshed The Beers are
undoubtedly patriotic in a narrow
way, but there is patriotism which
refuses to take into account the fact
that civilization is on the march. They
stole their own lands from the Kafflr
tribes and then made the mistake Of
perpetuating the KafIir type of exclu-
sivencss. When civilization poured
men of another race into their region
to develop its natural resources. in
stead Of welcoming them and joining
with them in the work. they drew
away, looked at each new conner ask
anCe and have sullenly and stubbornly
persisted in treating these "Outland-
crs" as enemies of the commonwealth,
to be ill-used and ground down by
every artifiCe in their power. The man
who sows suspicion and injustice gem
orally rcaps trouble and the crop Of
this article about to be harvested in
the TraEsvaal looks sufficient to force
a rcadjustmont of the map.
If it comes to war the Beers Will
fight with the stolid fanaticism of
religious mOnomaniacs, and England
will have a task on hand the hardest
since Waterloo. But in the nature OF
things the Roer type Of pious pig
headedness is foredoomed to destruc-
tion and it is to the general interest Of
human progress that in this imminent
conflict Of antiethctical tendencies tha
Anglo-SaXon spirit shall win.
