What time, my Fday-long labor done,
I drop my weary PEN
And following the setting sun
Am come back home again.
] know no pleasure more complete,
No melody more glad
Than that of one loved voice so sweet:
20! boys. here comes your dad!'
She's always there, in rain or shine.
As constant as can be.
With her wee boys. her boys and mine,
Who wait and watch for me.
And how they shout and hail me In,
Those boys. and then she'll add
Her happy voice above the din:
Now. boys. don't worry dad"
As II they could. God bless the boys!
I'd rather have them bring
The roof down with their joyous noise
Than hear a Patti sing.
And there she sits as proud as /,
And every whit as glad,
Though every now and then she'll cry:
Now, boys, don't worry dad"
If 1t should be the fates' decree,
And God forbid 1t may,
That all these hearts should pass from me
Ere I have passed away,
God grant that when 1 come to die
I be not deemed SO bad.
But 1 may hear a loved voice cry:
20: boys, here comes your dad:

off the face of the earth. OF course the
owners of the shanties will oppose the re-

sands of dollars to them and they will
nave to invest their money in some other
way-which is always nuisance-but
sooner or later the change must come

ty stand in the way of what he knows

The most astonishing thing about this
whole business is that the disease and
wretchedness of the alley finds their way
inevitably into the very finest homes in
he city. Nine-tenths of the domestic
servants of Washington are negroes and
large proportion of these come from
he alleys. In many instances they drift
pack to the alley novels every night to
sleep. The peril that thus creeps into
he homes of the city can hardly be ex-
aggerated.
Domestic service in Washington is less
expensive than in any other city in the
country The wages that are commonly
paid would not be considered for mo-
ment in any other community, but the
colored people who perform the service
are alley denizens. To wipe out the al
leys means an increase in the cost OF liv-
ing for them and an increase In the cost
of living must result in a corresponding
increase in wage.

In Place Of the Atom.

If We must discard the atom what
are we to accept in its place? Two new
conceptions have been found necessary
the lion" as the unit of matter the
"electron" as the unit Of force The
new chemistry holds that matter and
force are different manifestations of the
same thing Inertia is the character
istic; indeed, the indispensable. property
of both matter and electricity. What
would be simpler than to assume that
the ultimate particles of each are one and
the same? Prof. Fleming has declare d
that I'VE can no more have anything
which can be called electricity apart
from corpuscles than we can have mo-
mentum apart from matter"

is true, has lost q little of its strength
and volume. but his shaggy leonine head
is as impressive as ever.
1t is understood that Dr. Hale will not
hold the position long. He is to spend
the winter in Washington with his son,
who is vice president of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, and he is engaged on
literary work which will occupy him we'll
into the spring; but after that is fin
ished he will return to his beloved Bos-
ton and leave the chaplaincy open for
some one of the young aspirants who
have been conducting an active canvass
for the place ever since DR.. Milburn died.
So long as DR.. Hale is chaplain the
devotional services in the morning will
attract fully as much interest as any
other portion of the senate proceedings.
Visitors to Washington will throng the
galleries at the noon hour just to hear
and see the eminent Unitarian divine
who is known to almost every grown
person in the United States BE- the things
be has written.
DR.. Hale and Senator Hoar have been
intimate friends from boyhood and it is
touching to see the twNold men together.
1t was due to the Massachusetts, SEN
ator's suggestion that his old friend was
invited to become chaplain. 1t needed
only the suggestion to induce the senate
to act.

STAFF AND LINE.
One Does the housekeeping" Of the
Army and Other Does the
Fighting.

This is an age of specialists, it is
often remarked. and all modern ten
denotes are toward specialization. So
largely true is this that the important
change in the organization of the
army, embodied in the recently insti-
tuted general staff system" may be
regarded as an interesting exception,
says Youths Companion.
officers of the quartermaster's sub
sistence, medical, pay, ordnance and
other departments which have to do
with the housekeeping" and equip
ping of the army are known as 1.-The
staff" while those who, as attached to
definite commands, would in time of
war see fighting service in the field are
known as 1.-The line"
Army officers in the past usually
made their career in the branch of the
service in which they entered. This
will necessarily continue to be the case
with the surgeons, chaplains, dentists,
engineers, veterinarians, signal officers
and most of the paymasters. But for
several of the other staff departments
officers will be detailed for a four
yCdiS tSILu, dlIeT Which, tHcy luuSI lO-
turn, for time at least, Ito their col
ors." 1t is hoped by this system to
bring about more unity of action in the
military establishment, and better
welding of its various parts.
1t has been argued that officers after
long service in a staff corps get out of
touch with the real life of the army.
Much of the work has been at Wash
ington, where they have escaped the
hardship and privation of actual war.
Perhaps as result of these conditions
considerable friction has always exist
ed between ''the line and the staff"
The new plan is essentially like that
which Won Moltke worked out for the
German army. Since the new law went
into operation We have had no gen
eral commanding the army" but in
stead a chief of the staff, whose duty
it is to act as the immediate adviser of
the secretary of war. In time of hos
tilities. however, the president, who is
by the constitution commander in chief
of the army, might place the whole
force under a single commander, if it
was found necessary.

health, and when he went back to his
law practice in Chicago he found to his
dismay that the threads had slipped
away from him and that his place at the
bar had been taken by younger and
stronger men. The time came whsn he
was practically dependent upon his pen
sion and that was nearly eaten up with
the expenses of medical attendance, for
he is a sad sufferer from the wounds
which he received in the war.
When he was in Washington last Oc-
tober at the time of the unwilling of the
Sherman monument he was taken down
from the results of exposure and was
carried to the hospital, where for days
he lay between life and death. 1t was
then that Mrs. Logan took his case in
hand. She went to the president and
made a fervid personal appeal for the
gallant old veteran. She urged that some
thing be done to rouse his courage and
give him renewed hope. The president
listened with deep sympathy and he
promised Mrs. Logan then and there
that at the very first opportunity some
thing should be done for Gen. Black. The
word was carried to the invalid veteran
1t had the desired effect. He soon re-
gained his courage. and now the presi-
dent seizes the first opportunity to carry
his promise into effect

trinity, will be an effective member OF

Yet after his sudden death 1t developed
that he had been sick man for years.
and that he was victim of organic dis
ease.
Proctor was wonderfully active man.
He was ever on the go. 1t was impossible
for him to keep still for minute. In
conversation he would jump up from his
chair and pace up and down the room
gesticulating vehemently.
Only a few days before he died he had
received loving cup from the president
and few chosen friends who were wont
to gather with him at the white house;
for democrat though he was, Proctor was
very close to the presidents heart.
He was a chivalrous southerner who,
as boy, rode out to the war even when
the cause of the confedercay was known
to be lost, and his chivalrous spirit did
not grow dim. He was as full of hope
and of lofty ideals the day he died as
he was the day he enlisted in the lost
cause.
Proctor was poor almost to the limit
of poverty. He has given his life to the
public service, doing work in which he
took an absorbing interest His salary

the smallest on the governme MT pay roll.
but small as it was it was the only in
come he had and for ten years he had de-
MED himself, ordinary comforts in or
der to make both ends meet. The only
legacy he left was two boys-one in the
army and other in the navy-of whom
he was proud and fond. His active mind
was never at rest. His courage never
failed.
