But evil will infest mans heart
While We live In this world OF art.
But we may soar above all strife
When We have finished with this life.
They dressed him UP In robes or state
As q result Of this good fate.
He begged them in a plaintive tone
To give his Skye pup one more bone.
Said he. "They sell them at the fair.
But l replied, 81 do not care"
So after that they shut the door
And said they'd see their kin no more
But / thought twas silly tale,

TREASURY SHAKE-UP.
THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY SHAW
TO PUT NEW MEN IN I'M
PORTANT PLACES.
GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington, Aug 13-Nevs has rescbsd
Washington through a trustworthy source from
Oyster Bay that General O. L. Spaulding will
be relieved at early date as Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury ana assigned to other dutv
in the government service that will not be so
trying to his impaired health His successor
has not been announced although there is
ground for the belief that New-York Republi-
can of experience in the Customs service will be
chosen. and that probably E. a. Tichenor is the
man most favorably considered for the
office, General Spaulding's health has been
failing for a year more and he would have
been transferred TO some other department of
| the government entailing lighter duties if a
place suited to his tastes and qualifications had
been available several months ago.
1t is understood that his displacement will be
the first move in a general shake-up of the
Customs division of the Treasury. and that
other changes of far more significance will fol-
low his transfer Secretary Shaw and the Pres
ident have been closely studying the Treasury
situation for some time with this object in view
and they are about ready to institute re-
forms through new men in important places in
the service at New-York and other large ports
of the country
There is no complaint against General Spauld
ing's administration, although it is realized that
it will be easier to make other changes in the
service with a new at the head OF the
Customs division than it would be if he should
continue to discharge the duties indefinitely.
General Spaulding is a citizen of Michigan
and has been prominent IN the RepuoICan an
organization of that State for many years. He
was appointed TO his present office on the rec
ommendatiOn of both Michigan Senators, ana
the death of Senator Mcmillan has IN no way
affected his standing with the administration.
He served several terms in Congress before oe-
ing appointed Assistant Secretary OF the Treas
ury by President Mckinley, in 1877 ana Is gen
orally regarded one Of the best experts IN
