bucket from its oilcloth-covered shelf
in the corner of the kitchen and went
down to the barn, while Philura took
up the heavy burden which was daily
laid on her slight young shoulders.
She donned huge Bingham apron
over her blue print house dress, roll

again down the green slope of the cow
lot beyond the barn, where the robins
were just tuning up, and the awakened
kline rose lazily and swung up the hill,
dep-lapped in red clover.
Three fat, black cats, hearing the
call, came down with a soft thud from
their fragrant bed on the high ledge
of the half-out hayrick and seated
themselves haunchwise in dignified
row near him, waiting for the milking
progress to. begin.
Every morning, when the boy, Naph,
appeared with the pals the cats waited
their turn for the well-directed white
streams which came from the mixer
hand, whizzing and guzzling pleasantly
down their bewhiskered, wlde-open
mouths.
But though they implored gently IN
their best meows for the accustomed
libation, none was forthcoming this
time. Had old Zeb understood their
petition with it's discriminating evil
dence of his sons extravaganza in
feeding new milk to the cats, there
would have been greater trouble than
cramps in store for that young gentle-
man.

here, for they are men such as only one
seeking to give both parties in the dis
pute justice would select. There is
not politician on the commission.
The members are able men, men of
affairs, of social standing and exper-
ience, and each is leader in his own
chosen field Of endeavor. The law,
church, science, and the army are
represented, George Gray represents
the law, Bishop John L. Spaulding the
church, G. w. Parker, expert mining
engineer, science, and Brig. General
John M. Wilson the army. Each of
the contending parties has what may
be called personal representative
on the commission. E. E. Clark, grand
chief of the Order of Railroad Con-
ductors represents organized labor
and Thomas H. Watkins, a man of
practical experience in the anthracite
coal industry, represents capital.
You will observe that the personnel
of the commission is very different
from that of previous committees which
have been appointed by presidents to
investigate different problems arising
from our peculiar form of government
Why is it that Roosevelt did not fol-
low the precedent of other presidents
in selecting this strike commission
He wanted both sides in the dispute
to have justice, and therefore stepped
out of the usual path to secure men
who would be impartial. The class OF
political plum seekers from whose
ranks other commissions have been
drawn are not the proper sort to arrive
at an unbiased judgment. Mr.. Roose-
velt knew this and ignored them.
No president since Lincoln has been
as radical in his actions upon public
questions as Roosevelt. He is the first
president that ever interfered in be-
half of justice between capital and
labor, and 1 firmly believe him to be
the only chief executive since Lincoln
who has had the moral courage to defy
the party organization he represented
at the White House. Where there has
been no precedent for doing that which
was right, he established one, and
whenever occasion has arisen to exer
else his prerogative as chief executive
he has always done the right thing Al
the right time. Mr.. Roosevelt is pres
ident of the republic by accident: hi
next election to that office will be BY
the acclaim of the people.

Just AS the Sun Went

VAR out across the Grand Plaza
. in Manila the band of the -th

'AR out across the Grand Plaza
X in Manila the band of the -th
regiment was playing the piece
so dear to the hearts. of the
boys in the army of the Philippines,
"Just as the Sun Went Down." Lying
>on his cot in one of the crowded hos
pitals near the Plaza was young SOL
dier that had but recently been brought
in from one of the neighboring islands,
with bullet wound in his side.
Lawrence had enlisted at the first
call for men to suppress the rebellion
in the island possessions and when his
term of service in the volunteer army
had expired he had again enlisted in
the regular army which remained at
Manila, for another five years. For
bravery in the field he had been pro-
noted to sergeant of his company and
was eagerly looking forward to the
short while he had left to serve before
he could board the transport and sail
for home. But during a sharp en-
counter with the ''niggers," as the
Filiplnos were called, he had been
wounded and tonight he lay waiting
for the regular evening visit of the
surgeon.
As he lay in that hot little room,
with the moaning of the other sufferers
filling the air, his eyes closed and in a
dream his thoughts wandered far across
land and water to that peaceful home
in Minnesota, where tonight lonely
mother was sitting by the fireside
thinking Of her beloved boy so far from
home. Once again be heard the ripple
of the water in the brook, as it flowed
over tha stones back Of the old barn

where as q boy he had played, and
where, as he grew older and came
home from college, he had sat on its
banks with one who was dearer to him /.
than life itself.
But the dream changed and he was
now at the station taking his last fare
we'll to home and friends before his
regiment boarded the cars for San
Francisco. He could feel again the
kiss of his dear little mother as she
threw her arms around his neck, whis-
pering: "God bless you, my brave boy"
Then came his parting with another
and younger woman who stood near
the mother. Darling" he said as his
hand clasped her slender one, II nave
your promise to wait for me till the
war is over" eyes," she whispered, "I
am yours, forever" Gall aboardp'
shouted the conductor and with a
hurried kiss he sprang aboard the now
moving train.
Looking back from the train plat
form hs saw them still standing there,
the tall beautiful girl supporting the
feeble mother, and tEen the train shot
around curve and they were lost to
him forever.
swell, how are you tonight, ladp"
This was the voice of the company
surgeon and Lawrence awoke from his
dream of home.
"Oh, Doc, I've been far away and
was forgetting the wound, but now
that I'm awake 1 feel it coming on
again. Oh this accursed heatl can
nothing be done to cool this room ?"
swell, Lawrence" said the surgeon,
"I'll have one of the nurses come over
and fan you for awhile, and here, take
this and try and get some Sleep" The
boy murmured his thanks and the doc
tor summoned one of the nurses and left
for another hospital, for Manila was full
of sick and wounded men and
his services we're in demand. The
nurse smoothed his rumpled pillow
and then seating herself by the cot
began to wave the huge palm leaf be-
fore his tired eyes.
Outside the band had been amusing
the populace by playing number of
popular airs. Being earnestly requested
to repeat the one they were playing at
the beginning of the story, they again
softly played, "Just as the Sun Went
Down." Lawrence lying on his fevered
pillow softly hummed the wordsIof the
old tune:
Zone thought Of mother at home alone.
One of his love in town,
They closed their eyes to the stars and stripes.
just as the sun went down."
The band ceased playing and an
eternal quiet settled on the city. In
the room where the soldier lay the
nurse had ceased to ply the fan and
softly rising she peered into the face
of her patient and then gave a little
start and knesling quickly she listened
for the heart beat that was not there.
For with the last notes of thessong the
spirit of Lawrence passed to realms of
light, "Just as the Sun Went Down.
