Many are the sorrows they have seen

Many are the joys they have felt
That frightened lives In their young

And many are the hopes and ambitions
That bestowed new vim on their daily

TO them the nusket was not a burden
Nor was the swords sheen scepter Of

Their cause was not to them a wrong.
Their hopes and aims were not near

The storage yards of the Districts large
supply establishment are located at LIST and
Canal streets southwest. list and L streets
southwest, I'd and / streets southeast, on
the Pennsylvania railroad and at Sd and
Parker streets northeast, on the line of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. In these yards
are stored a large stock of materials for
the use of the engineer department, such
as sewer pipe, brick, cement, curbing, sand,
gravel etc.
The diversity Of subjects that daily claim
the attention of the property clerk Is indi-
one days routine: After reading his mail,
answering letters and examining the daily
reports of storekeepers and fuel inspectors,
the property clerk was required to give his
attention to the question of letting con-
tract for certain printing and the specih-
cations relating to the contract The next
question to be disposed of was as to what

store are numerous. In the spring of each
year the property clerk Is required to pre-
pare estimates of the quantities of general
supplies and stores of~various kinds that
will be needed during the ensuing year, and
besides providing for the articles needed by
ment he Is also required 10 prepare scAeds
ules of the various kinds of construction
materials that will be needed by the Dis
tricts engineer department. This official
prepares the specifications for the contracts
for the purchase of materials; he examines
and records all acquisitions for supplies, is
sues orders for their delivery, tnspects the
materials furnished by the contractors;
then he examines, audits and records the
vouchers upon which payment for the sup
plies is to be made.
During the fiscal year 1904 the amount
expended by the property clerk for stores
of all kinds aggregated 81 ,0S4, 1854, of
struction materials stored at the property
yards. The purchases for the last fiscal
year were based on SAP acquisitions, on
which 1t was necessary to issue 20,125 or
ders, and the number of payment vouchers
for supplies furnished on these orders was
Ii. 426. AS compared with the amounts ex-
pended by the various supply divisions of
the executive departments of the federal
government, the purchases made by the
property clerk of me District are nearly
ten times large as those of either the
supply division of the Treasury or of the
War Department, and about twice as largo
as those OF the Interior or Post Office De-
partment.
The articles and materials handled by
the Districts large supply store are in

be one on board, and he ministered the last
sacrament When he came from the mar
row hospital he handed to the ships doctor
a wicked-looking stiletto The girl was
dead and with her the revenge of five long,
bitter years, during which she had worked
and planned the death of the man she
loved and the woman who had stolen him
from her. Five years of plotting with a
knife in her bosom, Two bitter trips on
the boat from which her body. carefully
weighted, was slipped over the ships side
in the dead hours of the night!
The man or woman who talks and waits
seldom commits suicide on the homeward
voyage, but ships officers keep a close
watch on the silent, morose passenger.
Some months ago a young Englishman was
deported on the score of valvular disease
or the heart. He accepted his sentence
with suspicious submission. The ships Of
neefs were duly warned, but they saw no
cause for alarm in his conduct during the
voyage. He ate moderately, chatted not
freely but cheerfully with other steerage
passengers, ana seemed resigned to his fate

and one by one his competitors dropped
out. Then suddenly the circle of interested
watchers saw him stagger backward, his
hand clutching at his shirt bosom. The
chief steward of the steerage sprang for
ward, but he was too late. The man fell
dead at his feet In the mad dance he had
committed suicide under the very eyes OF
the officers who had been guarding him SO
closely.
And this is what deportation means to the
average immigrant: All hope, all chance
for an honest, decent livelihood he leaves
in America. His native land offers only
paupersm crme-or death.

The great steamship drops anchor In the
Bay of Naples and the woman stumbles
from the hospital to the deck, where her
husband stands glazing down upon the
beautiful blue water. A thousand boats
seem to shoot simultaneously from Naples

buy flowers raised to the deck on long, way

OF all the immigrants landing on Amer.-
can shores, the south Italian comes in
largest numbers, representing 40 per cent
of the alien food, and he brings tie
smallest amount of money, an average
of SO per head. On the other. hand, his
own government exercises the greatest care
in getting him out of the country and
makes the least provision for his care if he
is returned In truth, Italy has absolutely
nothing TO offer the emigrant deported from
America He must either beg or steal, for
the almshouse offers shelter only to those
who are absolutely decrepit and helpless.
The Italian government has established
at Genoa, at Palermo and at Naples a rigid
system of emigration inspection, and only
per cent of her emigrants are returned,
cording to the last immigration figures in
this country. The northern Italian emf
grants represent the mining and agricul-
tural interests, and though their country is
crowded with laborers, there Is some hope
for them IL they are returned. But in
southern Italy every inch of soil is occupied
by small farmers grape raisers, the cities
having no industries, and the returned
southern immigrant turns to- beggary or
crime according TO his nature.
He seldom gets beyond Naples. If his
home was inland, poorer welcome awaits
him there than in Naples. In the latter
city he may beg. in his small inland town
or on the miserable farm vineyard where
he left parents or brothers. or even sons,

the entire family contributed toward the

FROM the B0okman.
A man from some obscure town in Cali
fornia whose illusions had been repeatedly
rejected invented this delightfully."- inge-
NOUS scheme for making his friends be-
lieve that at last he had found his way into
the magazines. In forwarding his manu-
script he wrote to the editor thus:
Dear Sir: This is a small place where
I live, and whenever a story of mine comes
back the whole village knows 1t. Now, I
know you don't want the inclosed manu-
script, but I'm sending it along, just the
same, together with a post card. which
beg you to RENAL to me. The postmistress
will read it, of course, and 1 need not tel.
you that within three hours the news OF
what is on Ii will be all over town. Will
know when it comes that my manuscript
is rejected, and you need never return it to
me. But please mail theS card TO me, and
win my everlasting gratitude.
The postcard had been carefully type
written and self-addressed. 1t bore these
words:

several cars of stone, the investigation of
complaint relative to the quality of lumber
delivered on a certain order, the purchase
or girls, dresses for inmates of a District
institution, the purchase of grass and flower
seeds, a rush order for some special print
brick submitted by contractor and the
purchase Of rubber stamps.
From this routine Office work the prop
erty clerk was called out to inspect one of
the property yards and to see to the re-
pairing OF some of the street sprinkling
wagons, and upon his return to the office
the question as to the purchase of a certain
brand of chewing tobacco under contract
had to be decided. During one hour the
other day the Districts storekeeper was
called upon to consider the quality of some
darning cotton, then the placing and un-
loading of large number of freight cars,
next the adjustment of bill for tuning
several pianos owned by the District, and
finally, he turned his attention to the pur-
chase Of live hog.
The cost of the material and supplies pur-
chased under general supply contracts dur
ing one year is itemized approximately as
follows: Forage, $4,000; lumber, about
s25, 600: fuel, $4,000: dry goods. $4,000;
saddlery, So 800; boots and shoes. $3.50;
stationery, $15. 900: furniture and house fur
nishings $4,000; printing, about $4,000;
hardware about $4,000; drugs. $1,000;
Photographic supplies and flags, 81 200; gro
ceries. $50. 000; glass, paints and oils. $1,000;
meats, $16 200: school books. $4,000; cast
ings, 5000: ice, $4,000; electrical supplies.
S. 900; kindergarten supplies. 81 800; plumb
ers' supplies, 5000; laundry, about s., 800.
The amount expended for hauling construc-
ton materials. including broken stone, and
