4 LITTLE noREHAWSEEDED.

Goodness knows, and badness also
knows, that there is almost law enough
in the State of Connecticut. AMI both
goodness and badness know that what
law there is is not always enforced as
it should be. Goodness and badness
both know that there is law against
the corruption Of voters. but it win GER
tainly surprise goodness to know that
there is no adequate way of enforcing
that law. DIR. Newman Smyth has been
looking into the matter, and he has
come to the conclusion that there is
actual need of more law so that polit-
ical corruption can be investigated. So
he has appeared before the Judiciary
committee Of the legislature and offer
ed a bill which seems to cover the
ground. The bill was drawn by States
Attorney Williams. It provides for a
searching examination into charges of
corrupt practices in elections by any
commissioner of State police. He shall
have power to summon witnesses, take
testimony under oath and compel dis
closures of books and papers.
If this bill becomes law perhaps
we shall have an investigation or two.
It is evident from what DIR. Smyth said
before the committee that Connecticut
is not entirely pure politically. He has
collected some facts that are not exact
ly startling to those who are in the po-
litical game, but they might startle
some people who vaguely believe that
whatever is is right. 1t will be inter-
esting to see the further proceedings.

ment of April 81. and by the protocol
signed by the French and siamese
governments in fulhlment of that con-
vention, fixing the principal points on
the frontier between the Great Lake

French government had publicly an

therefore before the signature Of the
Anglo-French convention, that it held
that the frontier should reach the sea

of that port to France An intimation
to this effect was conveyed to the SIAM

downe is aware. the only question with
regard to the boundary between the
French and Siamese possessions now
under consideration is that Of the ac-
tual demarcation of the frontier by the
mixed commissions appointed : under
the terms of the convention.

My Baby,s Prayer.

When the twilight deep has fallen, then
my baby comes to me
ROBBED in white, all dressed for Dream
land, and she bends low at my
knee
And her little hands are folded in a
And two little eyes look upward as two
little sweet lips say: -.-.
NOW l 'ay me down to seen,
pay the Lord my soul to teep."
And know the Father listens,
And it pleases Him UP there,
When my baby, dressed for
Dreamland,
Kneels to say her evening
prayer.
There's silence in the shadows where
the freight softly plays,
And dreamy calm comes DER ME when
my baby kneels and prays. 1...
All my doubling fancies leave me and
the trials of earth flee ,<-
AS ! bow my head and listen to my
babys plaintive plea:
IF 1 s'ood die before waite,
! pay the Lord my soul to tate"
And holy hush steals Ger me.
And pervades the evening air,
When my baby, dressed for
Kneeis to say her evening
prayer.
And often sit and ponder when hear
my baby pray, ,
What would life on earth be to me
should I miss that voice some day;
If, perchance, felt no nesting, dimpled
hand within my own
AS my baby knelt beside me, lisping in
an .undertone: IA,
Now 1 'ay me down to s'eep,
/ pay the Lord my soul to teep."
And bless the God who gave
her,
And her love with Him / share,

NOT A HOPEL ESS DESERT.

Those who have been tout West" far
enough have seen what irrigation can
do for desert land" and it will not
seem utterly preposterous to them that
even the great desert of Sahara may
yet be made green and fertile. Some
people now sincerely believe that it can
be. Paul Leroy Beaulieu, a well-known
French political economist, gives the
results of years of study Of the situa-
ton in the Sahara, and concludes that
with proper irrigation it can be re-
claimed and made a source Of wealth.
He believes that where the surface wa
ter is scanty there is plenty of it If only
sought for deep enough, and that the
GASES which now flourish in many parts
of the arid tracts can be indefinitely
multiplied and expanded. Railroads
crossing the desert are needed to fur
nish the required facilities for the work
to be done and to open up to commerce
the reclaimed regions,
People who have lived the last fifty
years have seen wonderful things. Per-
.haps before the end of the next fifty
there will be no desert of Sahara. The
world is rich enough now to tackle the
job of irrigating it, if it can be irrigat-
ed. Perhaps the Standard Oil company
will buy it and work it.

SOME InIAR Hs4iAG REMARKS.

SOME AaAH 1914 y U H EM Il I'm.
The Baltimore Sun is always interest
ing when it discusses the appointment
Of negro to office by the President.
For instance, this is the way it talks
about the New York appointment: The
appointment of c. w. Anderson, color
ed, to be collector of internal revenue
for the Second district of New York, is
as suitable an expression Of the Presi-
dents views Of the eligibility of the ne
gro for federal Office as the appoint
ment of Crum at Charleston, South
Carolina, was unsuitable and mischiev-
Gus. In New York the effect of Ander-
sons appointment upon the small per-
centage of colored people in that State
will be trifiing, but in the South the eff
feet is very different, tending to in
fame race antagonisrn that ought to be
avoided. In New York most whites are
not averse, perhaps, to doing business
with negroes in a superior official posi-
ton, since there the social and official
positions may coincide. Association
there is possibly not disagreeable to
either race. Having a negro collector
in New York will not be offensive, be-
cause the social intercourse on basis
of equality which business intercourse
implies may be assumed to be agreeable
and gratifying to many. If the negroes
of New York are demoralized by the
sight of one of their race in high office,
with the result of becoming disorderly
and intractable, the evil will be COM
paratively restricted in it's effect, owing
to the great preponderance of the white
population. In New York, in a word,
the Presidents indulgence in a fad may
be practically harmless, whereas in the
South it does a vast deal Of injury in
ways which the Chief Executive does
not seem to understand. Where there
is much infiammable material it is OBJ
viously unsafe to throw firebrands
about, though one may do that with
impunity on an iceberg.
The Suns remark about the coinei-
dence Of social and official positions in
New York is neat, but not gaudy.

A Makeshift Den.

Sometimes you can only contrive q
den by giving over to it the one spare
room you have and arranging things in
such way that it may be turned back
again into a spare room when occasion
demands. But it's worth while going
to the trouble to arrange it, and easy
enough too.
The bed is the most important thing
to contrive, for, no matter what things
you may have in your den, you can It
have a bed without absolutely destroy
ing the character of the room. And a
box couch ism It the most comfortable
thing in the world to sleep on for sew
eral nights running.
Some people get around the question
by using folding beds. but the most
satisfactory thing of all is a low cot
bed with woven wire springs and good
mattress-the whole thing, legs and all,
covered up with the clever arrangement
of the couch cover, which is held in
place by. safety pins, hidden under
folds. '..
When the room is needed for bed.
room the cover and sofa pillows are
|'stripped off and the bed made up ex.
actly like any other bed, with the GOV.
ers tucked in at the foot, which can u
be done with couch.
But in getting the cot bed be sure
to get one without posts or rims at
top and bottom. A couch is without
these rims, and substitute should be-
too. Co.,.

The color Of the lace for parlOr cur
tains should suit the woodwork and
general urnishings of the room. Ecru
colored lace is better than white in a
room finished in mahogany or birch;
white lace is better than the ecru for
a parlor or chambers with white-paint-
ed woodwork. The curtains should
usually hang to the floor, but this is a
rule that may be modified to suit the
conditions. Sometimes is is better to
draw the curtains back with loops made
for this purpose, letting them hang q
few inches below the sill.
The bedroom is not perfectly appoint

articles needed during the night. II
