In After Years

Only hand organ worn and old
Played meath my window to-day.
But the tender melody upward rolled
Swept the past years away.
Again I saw, youthful and bold.
My love smiling love upon me.
And again that fond story he told.
While the notes chimed plaintively.
And as up floats that olden air
The passionate tears fast fall.
For list'ning those echoes rising thera
can still the sweet words recall:
"only to see thee darling,
Only to hear thy voice,
Even it's faintest whisper
Would bid my heart rejoice"

the quaint structure.

Arcade Reports
for Employ ers

brigadier general in the world of
finance had an idea that railroad
would be built through his neighbor-
hood some day by some one. In
order to have a share in the profits
he decided to build piece of road
about sixty miles long, and he went
at 1t without charter. BY his own
personality he won the owners of the
land and when an obstinate individual
would attempt to hold him up for a
certain piece of the right of way he
would have a simple conversation
with him and things would be ar
ranged just as he wanted them. 9th
ers knew what he was doing and they
started occasional troubles among the
w0rkingmen, which the bosses were
unable to handle; but this man of
skill would go among the men and
In half an hour everything would be
working satisfactorily He finished
his road, which connected nothing
with nothing and little later it be-
came a link in railway chain which
connected two important cities and

Collecting Accounts.
The collection of small accounts by
mail is probably one of the most diff

A good letter is always better than
a poor collector, and 1t may be that
good collector will do still better
work than a good letter. man
writes to me that he had ofiice-men
who could collect down to three per
cent by letter, while others were not
able to get below fifteen per cent. He

Securing Business.
The expense of securing business Is
one of the uncomfortable things in
many lines of work. Here Is a college
with buildings. instructors and an en-
dowment suitable for four hundred
students, yet they have only one hun.
dred and seyenty-five. No one doubts
there being two hundred and twenty.

tory OF the college, each of whom
would be greatly bep=fited by the In
struction and who could and would
attend II the subject were rightly pre-
sented to them. A correct presenta.
ton OF the subject requires genuine
ability of special order. The man
who can secure the most business
may not be able to make an intelli-
gent report for his employer regard

told me about a two-dollar-a-day man
who did not know what TO do with
himself, but who finally drifted to

worth OF business for certain con-

him on a salary of $4,000 a year to

A New Gov rnment Ruling.

The following circular has been
sent to all the Registers and Re-
c%eivers of y. S. Land Office
Gentlemen:-You are hereby d.
rected, in addition to the instruc-
lions contained in office circular of
Sep. 9th, 1902, to call the special
attention of all persons that have
made, or are intending to make,
homestead entries on lands that
have been, or may hereafter be.
temporarily withdrawn for irriga-
ton purposes, to the following
statement
The withdrawal Of these lands
is principally for the purpose of
making surveys and irrigation in
vestigations in order to determine
the feasibility Of the plans of irri-
CATION and reclamation proposed;
only Il small portion of the lands
will be irrigated even if the project
is feasible; it will be impossible to
decide in advance of careful exam
nation what lands may be watered
if anv, the mere fact that surveys
are in progress is no indication
whatsoever that the works will be
built. and this fact cannot deter
mine how much water there may
be available. or what lands can be
covered. or whether the cost will
be too great to justify the under
taking until the surveys and the
irrigation Investigations have been
completed.
Attention is called to the fact
that all t lie entries made upon the
lands referred to are subject to the
following proviso of the act Of Aug.
30, 1890 (16 Stat, 49, -:
That in all patents of lands here
matter taken up under any of the
land laws Of the United States or
on entries or claims validated by
this act. west of the one hundredth
meridian, it shall be expressed that
there is reserved from the lands in
said patent described, a right of
way thereon for bitches or canals
constructed by the authority of the
United States.
Under this provision Of the law,
should a homestead entry embrace
land that is needed in whole or in
part for a dam site, a reservoir, or
a canal. the land would be taken
for such purpose, and the entryman
would have no claim against the
United States for the taking of
such right Of way.
Very respectfully,
