Little Stockings In a Row.

Dreaming by the Christmas hreslde
When the lights are faint and low.
| can see beside the chimney
Little stockings in row,
Filled with dainties, overfowlng,
Bullying out with books and toys.
Dolls and carts and childish treasures
That delight wee girls and boys I!
Safe in bed each lite sleeper,
And | softly say, Good night J.
They will wake with joyous greeting
In the welcome morning light,
But alas a hush comes DER me,
And my dreams of long ago
Vanish, for see no longer,
Little stockings in row +!
Many years within the old house,
Since the sound of little feet
And the shouts of merry voices
Filled the rooms with music sweet
And my Willie's now a soldier,
Little Nell lives in the West,
Clare and Arthur crossed the ocean
Bindings all have left my nest
Never, only in my dreaming,
When the lights are faint and low,
Shall | see at Christmas evening
Little stockings in row
Bless them all, my grown.np babies
Mothers heart yearn's for you so,
For the little prayers at twilight
And the stockings in a row

CHRISTMAS.

q listen. good people! The bells in the steeple
Are swinging and ringing and caroling now
IT'S "Hey for the evergreen no for the holly,
And bey nonny no for the mistletoe bought"
The Yule.log is cleaning, its radience streaming
Upon the gay figures that fit to and fro'
Or twill down the middle to flute and to fiddle
With ribbons fiutter and cheeks in glow
While over the wassail bowl gallantsa Jostle,
All testing and laughter, rolcking throng'
Crowd cnking their glasses to drink to the iasses
And welcome old Christmas with snatches OF song
Then hey for the evergreen, no for the molly!
Keep holiday sweethearts nor ever ask now
When Love goes before US to lead of the chorus
With Hey nonny no for the mistletoe oough!

shown by the records there never was

Madison. March 5.

Governor La Toilette formally an
nounced to the people of the state
last night that he would not call an
extra session of the legislature be-
cause of the fire in the capitol.
He reviews in careful detail the
extent of the DAMAGE discusses his
powers and duties in the premises I'M
der the law, approves the action al
ready taken by the capitol building
commission and declares that to call
a special session of the legislature
would be a useless expenditure of
thousands of dollars.
He says that the latest expert ex-
animation of the, building places the
actual property loss at $250,0O0, that
one of the most reputable contractors
in the state is ready now to take a
contract for $275,000, to build anew
that part of the building destroyed
or damaged, but that it does not ap-
pear wise to let such a contract,
Though the governor has the au-
thority) until the legislature has
spoken.
The governor announces that the
expenditure of $4,000 Immediately
would repair the north and south
wings permanently and fix other
parts of the building for comfortable
use. After reviewing the work of
the capitol building commission and
discussing his powers to repair or re-
store the building under the state in
surance law, he declares that he will
make the immediate expenditure of
some $4,000, house the government
conveniently in the capitol and await
the action of the legislature to de.
eide either to restore the capitol or
build a new and larger one. The
statement is as follows:

sions and bureaus are temporarily pro-
vided for at the university and in of
fees in the city.
The present necessity of bringing to-
gether, as socn as may be, all of the
departments and offices of the state
government, for the efficient execu.
ton and dispatch of the public bust
ness, is manifest at cnce. The expos
ure of several large vaults containing
public records. and of portions of the
building where the same is unroofed
and relatively not much damaged by
/ fire, makes it imperative that some re-
pairs should be made Immediately.
Repairs May Be Made.
From careful and trustworthy esti-
mates, | am convinced that the south
wing and the connecting portion be-
tween the rotunda and the north wing,
can be restored and equipped for Of
fees, the connecting corridors and the
heating and lighting plants rooted in,
for the sum of $4,000 In addition a
temporary and inexpensive covering
for the walls of the east and west
wings, it is believed, will protect and
preserve that portion of the property
of the state against destruction from
the elements.
The equipment CT the connecting
portions of the building between the
north wing and the rotunda and of the
south wing for Offices upon the second.
third and fourth fioors,-heretofore
used for legislative committee rooms,
library commission and auditorium
will. together with the nth wing, by
actual measurement, afford more office
room for the departments of the state
than were available before the fire.
This limited expenditure will furnish
suitable and serviceable quarters for
all the state officials which can be used
until such time as the legislature shall
provide for the building of a new cap
itol. or the restoration or enlargement
of the present structure
Will not Bind Legislature.
This course will in no way interfere
with the utmost freedom of action on
the part of the Legislature in dealing
with the whole subject when the plans
are placed before them. The question
whether the present structure should
be enlarged or rebuilt upon its present
foundation, or whether an entire new
capitol should be erected is a question
which should be committed to the leg
islature to determine. But the author
ity to repair is not only vested in the
custodian of the capitol and of every
state building by the act of the legis-
lature which prohibited insuring state
property, but it is his duty to make
such repairs.
/ am therefore constrained to be
lieve that it would be unwise to impose
upon the people of the state the unnec,
essary expense of may thousands OF
dollars, which it would cost to convene
the legislature at this time.
Furniture and Records.
j Besides the damage to the capitol
building, further loss was sustained
upon other property owned by the
state. The other property destroyed or
daDaged consisted of office furniture,
fixtures, books, and also the war rel
les, mementoes, pictures and portraits
in the headquarters of the Grand Army
of the Republic. 1t is impossible at
the present time to definitely deter
mine the extent of the loss upon this
property, and no amount of money can
