work Of Japanese artists. She had a very
fine old panel by Hokusi which by great
good luck she was able to secure ut a sale
in California. The panel is soft in tone

The Panama Hat.

No longer may the husband point an
economical finger at the bill presented by
his wife's miliner and refer to the Easter
bonnet as a blooming example of femin-
inc extravaganza. No longer may Charles
Augustus sheer with Masculine superior
fly as he observes Caroline investing two
months allowance in a stuffed musllrat
and an artificial vineyard mounted on
foundation of Nile green straw and
known in the aggregate as a picture hat.
No longer is the goddess fashion an ex-
clusively feminine deity. for since the
tickle lady first tried on a Panama hat
more men than women have bowed down
before her.

The Voices.

In cadence, in a mea sure
AS the sound of water falling,
Comes the laughter and the music
OF the voices ever calling.
Mountain-tops and mellow valleys,
And the rocks rough-hewn features,
streams and forests. farms and pastures
All alive with living creatures.
Butterflies upon the flowers.
Bees that delve into deep clover.
Cattle calling from the mountains,
And the joy of life all over.
Wild rose, darling Of old nature.
With its petals family flushing.
Farm girls, lost beneath sun-bonnets.
With their freckled faces blushing.
Wet dew In the early morning
And the sunset west at night,
Sounds and sights that fill the senses
With fathomless delight.
In cadence. In measure.
As the sound of water falling,
Comes the music Of the voices
That to me are ever calling.

SOME GOVERNMENT RULES.
Carrying Bundle. Into the Capitol
and Out Of the Treasury.


Among all the departments in Wash.
ington the most strict is the treasury.
a citizen may carry anything that he
likes into the treasury building. but
when he undertakes to carry anything
bulky out of the building he is apt to
get into trouble if he does not explain
with readiness
a visitor to Washington the other day
carried fairly large package into the
building. Nobody said word to him
about it when he was going in, but
when he started ont with the package
be was held up. made to open it and to
explain all about himself and his bust
ness. The good sense of the rule is APP
parent.
At the capitol it is against the rules
to carry any sort of bundle into the
building The fear is that somebody
will carry in bomb. The rule was
never enforced vigorously until the sen
ate took up the Sherman repeal bill
At that time the public mind became
so Influenced against the delay in the
senate that violence was feared, and
the rule was put into active operation
and continued for some years.
Then il dropped ont of sight until the
Spanish war excitement came on. when
1t was again enforced. as it has been
more or less vigorously ever since
