What. Italy resentful? Resentful toward

Whose hospitality so oft has clasped her
by the hand!
Resentful! When we've opened wids ouI
easements day by day.
To give "de monk a penny and to hear
the organ play;
When we so oft at dinner have been rather
i'll at ease
Because we'd not yet learned to like spag-
hetti cooked with cheese!
Have we not made her welcome, even at
our kitchen fire?
Have we not shifted Of garlic, aye, and
struggled to admire?
Have we not sat for hours to hear her
operas called grand
And vowed that they were lovely, though
we did not understand?
And do You turn upon us and bitterly ex-
press
Yourself concerning those who showed
such thoughtful tenderness?
Oh, Italy, indeed it fills our throbblng
hearts with pain
To find you thus susceptible to thoughts OF
vulgar gain;
We never thought that you would let a
dollar-maybe two
Thus sever your devotion after all we've
done for you.

PUTTING ON FINISHING TOUCHES
Wichita Country CiuB's New Home
and the Links

The Wichita Country club is almost
ready for the initiation Of its club house
on College Hill and the links. with a few
finishing touches will be completed. Al
ready the golfers have been out trying
the new distance hazards and drives.
The teeing places have been made accord
ing to regulation and the putting green's
are works Of art, each hole being sur
rounded by circle Of smooth ground Of
a consistency which admits of accuracy
in sending the golf ball to the hole. The
fields were burnt off and the stubble re-
sulting which win disappear entirely with
the grass which win come with spring,
has been rolled TO enable the players to
so to work at once. The new hazards
are varied and present interesting prob
lens and some difficulties. The course Is
one of nine holes. and a record as low as
sixty has not been made so far. although
many Of the members have attempted it.
As for the club house. its interior or
rangements as it outward aspect makes
1t a club house in fact as wen as name.
The committee in charge Of furnishing It
have made it beautiful within, and as #
was built as an architects ideal cottage.
it is fun Of coy hooks and inviting cor
ners. Lockers are being put in, and
other improvements being made.
Both this committee and the committee
on grounds have done good work TO pre-
pare for the pastime with the first warm
days of spring, which now appear. to be
here.
The club Itself promises to be unexam-
pied in its success. Its membership Is
growing rapidly and before the summer

COULDN'T SUSPEND RULES

Guthrie. o. T, March 2-The mound
builders" and 'cave dweIers" measured
strength this morning, resulting in the
discontinue Of the former. The test &C
Cured on a motion to suspend the rules
for the purpose Of placing on the calen-
dar under the head Of general orders the
pubic buildings bill which earlier in the
session had been Iavorably reported from
the committee on public buildings. To
suspend the rul4s a two-thirds vote OF
the house is necessary and the vote on
roll call showed the mound builders
four votes shy Of the required number.
Both fthe Logan county members voted
TO suspend the rules. Those voting in
favor OF the suspension were: Alexan-
der, Allen. Comp, Decker, Ferguson,
Hadley, Mathews Of Greer, MiIlard, Reid,
Rogers. Scott, Seely. YankiTk, Wilkin
and 1Ir. Speaker-15. Voting against the
motion We're: Brewer, Embry, Jones,
Mathews og Payne, Nesbit, Oliphant,
Phelps, Thomas. Wood-9
There were two absentees. Campbell
and sniggs.
When the public buildings bill was re-
ported TO the house this morning the pro-
Ponca City had been eliminated. This ac-
ton was decided upon IN a meeting Of
the public lands committee last night. 1t
was argued that the three votes Of Kay
county were already assured IN support
Of the bill by reason Of the location Of a
university preparatory school at Ton
kawa, and to catch some West Side votes.
especially Alexander of Woodward it was
proposed that at some future time the
reformatory school should be located on
the Fort Supply reservation. Unless the
mound builders" can draw up the four
more votes necessary to suspend the rules
it is APPARENT that the public buildings
bill VIII have to take the regular course
and with but FIVE more working days lett
and in the face of small but resource
full minority, it is difficult to predict a
hopeful outlook for the successful pas
sage Of the bill.
The house this morning passed NIillard s
bill Establishing a territorial board Of
agriculture; OHphants bill providing for
the inspection of oils and burning fluids;
Senator Todd's bill providing for the
transfer Of certain funds IN the hands Of
the territorial treasurer into the general
fund: Senator Clarkes bill providing for
the establishment ana maintenance Of
free public libraries and reading rooms in
cities of the frst-class and Reds bill
attaching certain sections to certain
school districts in Canadian county.
The council amendments to ELEPHANTS
quarantine bill were concurred in and the
bin Is now ready for the governor to pass
upon.
The house adjourned to take advantage
Of the Frisco roads invitation to a free
ride to Sapulpa.

ents with breaking Mp his suit. but in no
other way has he ever been known to
have any difference with them. and this
occurred So long ago that 1t IS hardly
possible that it should have been the
