Better Than All Earth's Glories

And dreams, perchance. of yesterday
Until he stirS and smiles,
And kicks the covers here and there
In twisted. tumbled piles.
A freckled, snubnosed little boy
With sun-bleached curly hair;
With mighty twisted round his neck.
With breaches on a chair,
And, scattered all about the floor,
His hat, and shoes, and shirt,
And ball, and catching glove, and bat
All well begrimed with dirt.
He will awake ere very long
And, stOrming down the stair,
Will be an omnipresent thing
Here, there, and everywhere;
Then will storm out and slam the door
And his swift way will take
To whistle at respective gates
For Fred and Bill and Jake.
And better than moonflowers are,
Or are Sunf1owers tall,
Or morning glories running wild
In riot on the wall,
Or yellow petals of the rose,
That please and never cloy,
Is just freclSled harum-sc arum
Rowdy- dowdy boy!

Where Oil Was Needed.

He was dying, so the schoolbook says
dying in Algiers;
There was lack Of antiseptics and dearth
of Woman'S tears;
But a Red Cross man approached him
and he murmured soft and low
That up upon his cistern some oil would
have to go.
Now, this soldier of the legion knew Eng
lish words few,
And to him the sound of "cistern" was
not exactly new.
Still the word conveyed but little to his
unreceptive mind
And he asked in simple language for a
plain reply in kind.
Then they spoke in accents soothing,
how this oil the germs would kill.
And the wicked stegomyia would become
the same as nil.
But still they had to tell him and make
it to him plain
That he had been mistaken and that nc
one who was sane
Could ever think that '.cistern'' the same
as system" meant
That never oil-excepting cod-was on
the System" spent.
And SO he died peaceful death and
never was dismayed
When ward clubs came in his back yard
and kerosene was sprayed.

Copper Exported to China.

More than $4,000 tons of copper
have been exported to China from
America this year. The unusual guam
tity has excited attention, and in
quiries of the trade have elected two
explanations One is that new coinage
is necessary in China, because the ole
has been gradually melted down fol
the manufacture of cartridges. The
other is that the process Of smelling
the metal is so imperfect that the
smelted copper contains small guam
titles of gold. and this the astute Chi
nese contrive to extract. Vast guam
titles of copper disappear constantly
in China from one cause or another.

W. p. HRzens Ideas for Improvement OF
the Force,

William p. Hazen. formerly chief OF the
United States Secret Service. gave his
views on pohoe reform yesterday to the
Committee OF Nine. sitting in solemn secret
session at the City Club. MIR. Hnzen
thought that there should be bipartisan
board OF police commissioners appointed
by the Governor, two Democrats and two
Republicans; one chief appointed for life
or good behavior by the board upon recon-
mendauon OF the Mayor. with the privilege
or retiring on a pension after fifteen years
seruoe; all charges against members OF
the force TO he examined by the full board,
the final decision 10 be left to the chief
no appeal from the decision Of the chief
10 the civil courts
Mr. Hazen suggested that the detective
branch be CENTRAL zed. with officea In each
borough, and no precinct detectives. the
chief detective to be empowered 10 hire
private detectives. Mr. HnZen Ia now the
head OF private detective agency The
police should not be required to gather
evidence in excise cases. which should be
left entirely TO the agents Of the excise de-
partment, except as they called on polioe-
man 10 make an arrest.
Mr.. Hnzen does not think that the force
IL either wholly inefficient or thoroughly
demomli1ed. On the contrary, he told tho
committee that there was no better police
