ASKS FoR STONE BUILDING.
Secretary Shaw Urges an Additional
Augmentation for Iowa CITY.

Washington. Feb. .. Secretary of
the Treasury L. NJ. Shaw. will urge
an appropriation for a stone public
building at Iowa City. He urges that
the present appropriation for the pur-
chase of land and the erection of a
building at that point will be sufficient
to construct a brick building and leave
a small margin.
AS the state of Iowa has erected
several stone university buildings in
the city and others are in contempla :
ton, the secretary thinks the general
government should make an additional
appropriation of few thousand doll
lars 10 cradle the department to erect
a stone and not brick building.

And eager for action and strife.
When she stands with her hand on T.

OF the painting engine OF life.
But wait till she's tasted OF failure
AT the going down Of the sun.
When she finds that universe chanGi,
Is not so easily done:
When she faces her own limitations
And looks at them square in the g
And finds she Is only woman
With powers of moderate size.
