"To earn a little spend a

venscn, a dreamer. Yet he
was a dreamer who wrote

wise words, among the wis.,
est Of which were the ones
here quoted. They are words

tion that sheer exhaustion
forces upon us, we may think
with a sigh, that the world
be- just as happy and we our.
selves as we'll off il the III a d
pace We follow would slacken
up a hit and the dreamers
had their way.
The fierce struggle for
wealth in which most of us
are engaged, and which, it
would seem, make our sole
object OF existence, is a poor
way to spend a lifetime after
all. The reward OF a life 80
spent, even when the object
OF it has been attained are
not nearly so great as one
would suppose. And if we do
not attain the object h e n
our defeat is without one
soothing memory, for t b e
reason that we have missed
the best of that life offered
us while we plunged madIy
and blindly across the vast
ed years.
The secret of the trouble
lies in the alteration of mere
material wealth, which has
long bpset the world, and
the eaarly inculcation in the
minds of the very children OF
such false doctrine. ven
though the possessor Of
wealth may claim no other
qualifica tions-those Of fheart
or mind-we worship at the
feet of the golden calf. just
I he same. We forget h a t
mere money does not make a
man rich. What sort Of a
heart has a rich man? What
duality OF mind does be pos
sess? What does he do for
the good of humanity? Is be
honest is he kind, is lie
true? These are the crucibles
in which he must be tried,
and if any other man pass
successfully ths ga me tests it
matters not how few the pen
nies in his pocket.
The race tor wealth-fOr

and yet not worth the run
ming, The coming OF a song,
the minting OF a good deed,
the spendthriftry of helpful
ness and cheer'nlnpss is worth
more than all the gold in the
world. And anyhow, since we
cannot all grow rich, let us
be content with the drea mer's
way-tO earn a little and
spend a little less.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


From our Reg ular o1retICnGent.
Col. C. j. Bonaparte, who
has been nominally selected
by secretary Hitchcock, actu
ally bv the President. to in
vestigate the Indian | q n d
sea ndals, came to Washing
ton recently to learn the ex-
tent of the task he has under
taken. To his great surprise
Col Bonaparte found that
Secretary Hitchcock h a d
gone to bis summer home IN
New Hampshire, and his on
ly assistant Secretary Ryan,
who was absent during the
entire ventilation Of the scan
dals, was here to receive him.
Judge Ryan, coul d. or
would, give the Colonel but
little Information, nor did he
have any papers relating to
the case to submit to b j m.
All these had been carefully
put away BY the Seer etary
before be left Washington
and INSTEAD OF being able to
take them up and discuss
them with the Judge, the Go.
lionel was told that, after
those the Secretary regarded
as private or confidential
had been shifted out. the re-
mainder would be shipped to
him by express. Col. Bona
parte asked many questions
regarding the scandals and
allegations. but beyond hav
ing the fact impressed upon
him that most OF them were
due to maIfeasan nee on t h e
part OF subordinates of the
Department OF Justice, he re-
ceived little Information.
There is every indication that
Col. Bonaparte is going to
meet with the same opposi-
tion in his efforts to conduct
a thorough investigation,
from the heads OF the Depart
ment OF the Interior as did

General Wynn and Fourth
Assistant Bristow in the ear,

vestigation from the Post
master General. The circum-
stances in this case are some
what different. Sec. Hitch>
cock is absolutely honest,
but it is inconceivable to him
that anyone can doubt the
accuracy OF his judgment
and he regards it as a piece
of impertinence for anyone
to undertake to investigate
those phases Of the affair in
to which he has already in
quired. notwithstanding the
fact that it is we'll know
that his inquiries generally
consisted of asking his favor
ite Indian Inspector for the
facts and believing implicitly
what that inspector toll d
him. Incidentally it may be
remarked that this inspector
is himself under charges and
has been exonorated only by
his own ipse dixit and the
Secretary's imprlmatur.

Apropos the Todd case,
the Delaware postmaster or
postmistress. who was dis.
missed from the service to
please Alice, the Addicks Sen
ator, Civil Service Commis-
sioner Greene has made pubs
lie a statement in which he
points out that by virtue OF
the civil service regulation
which was signed last March
BY President Roosevelt and
which went into effect on Az
ril Is, even fourth class post
masters are included in a
measure, in the classified ser.
vice. .Bv that regulation 1t
beca me unlawful to dismiss
any federal employee for po-
liticaI or religious reasons.
Therefore, according to Com
missioner Greene, the dismis-
sal of Miss Todd was clearly
unla wfnl. Now it is reported
from Oyster Bay that t h e
President ls incensed at Mr..
Greene for thus "annoying a
cabinet officers" There cal
be no doubt Postmaster Gen
eral Payne was seriously an
noyed by Greene's published
interview, but that the Pres
ident should be annoyed with
Greene ia incredible as Greene
was only doing duty with
which he is charged, seeking
tn see that the civil service reg
ulatioEs are respected. Prob.
ably the facts are that the
President is really annoyed
with Payne for precipitati1g
the entire Todd matter, but
being afrald to quarrel with
the Postmaster General al
most on the eve ofan election
he relieved his feelings by say
ing a few things about
