The Presidents FavOrite Verse.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Workmen are engaged in clean
ing up the little white house adj
ministering new coats of paint on
the interior and scrubbing up the
outer walls. The cabined room
and the private Office of the pres
ident are being brignhtened up
also. A great accumulation of
books, photos and trinkets has
been removed from the presidents
Office and when he returns to busi-
ness in the fall only one picture
will remain. This is a little gilt
frame enclosing a fac smile of the
late John ]. ingalls, famous verse
on Opportunity" 1t is the pres
ident's favorite poem, and is as
follows:
Master OF human destinies am 1.
Fame, love and fortune on my foot
steps wait;
Cities and fields walk; penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and, passing by
Hovel and mart and palace. soon or
late,
I knock. unbidden, once at every
gate.
II sleeping. awake; if feasting. rise be-
fore
I turn away. II is the hour OF fate,
And they who follow me reach every
state.
Mortals desire and conquer every foe
Save death; but those who hesitate,
Condemned TO failure, penury and woe
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore;
I answer not and return no more.

When You Awake.

] sit and smoke and vaguely dream
And wonder how the thing would
seem
II had wealth galore to blow
About a million, cold. or so.
I'd buy a modest private yacht.
4 cottage in a charming spot,
And for a place to settle down
A handsome brownstone front in town.
The pipe that fondiy caress
Would give way to cigars. guess;
The clothes that dress my manly form
Might serve TO keep a vagrant warm.
The girls that now reject my suit
Would at my lightest nod salute;
The men who pass me on the street
Would stop and touch me for a treat.
IT'S sweet to dream and scheme and
puff.
But the awakening IS rough.
wonder how with groan and doubt
I'll make my seven a week pay out.

Gliding Down Stream.

Gently gliding down the stream.
Youth and maiden fair;
Life is but a rosy dream.
Joy beyond compare.
Lover with his sun-browned arms
Guides the frail canoe;
Maiden with her snn-kissed charms
Smiles upon the crew
He's the crew from mate on down
She's the captain bold;
lie fears 10 see her wear a frown.
He fears to hear her scOld.
And 50 he guides the frail canoe
Where'er she wills 10 20:
She smiles upon her gallant crew.
lie loves his captain 50.
Canoeing is not unlike life.
As down the stream we float.
Nan takes his orders from his wife.
He gently guides the boat.

This see that keeps him true;
She is captain, without fear
And he the gallant crew.

Perspective.
From other days
To where, alone,
We sit and dream,
Come back the drone
OF laden bees,
And the perfume
OF clover fills
The mornings bruno;
And children laugh
And run and play
Where you and
Played yesterday.
The hot and dusty
City street
Fades into miles
OF meadowsweet,
And yonder building.
Tall and still.
Dissolves, and comes
A green-clad hill
To take its place;
With birds and trees.
And oxeyed daisies
To our knees.
AID all the city
Fades away
When mem'ry
Rakes up yesterday,
And spreads il, gemmed
With blooms and dew,
It's blossoms red
And white and blue;
Again we meet its
Girls and boys,
And know youths wild:
Exquisite joys.
Aye, know youths joys;
We never knew
Youths blues were such
A wondrous blue.
That whipping stream,
And carol shrill
OF the wild bird.
And wooded hill.
Were half so grand
On yesterday:
One sees them better
Far away.

Another Battle Barely Possible.

The peace conference is near at hand, and it is improbable that great battle will be fought in Manchuria be- fore it's sessions are concluded. Line witch and all Russia begin, however, to be boastful They are beginning to talk of aggression. Oyama is not say ing a word, and all Japan is silent.
 There seems to )e but one chance for battle. Linevitch can no doubt pro cure authority from the autocracy to fight. and he may be so coeksure of victory that he will risk forward movement. The Japanese will await tue approach of southward movement on the part of the Russians, knowing full well what they can and will do to the Russians. Linevitch may be fool ish enough to risk battle, and the grand dukes and bureaucrats thousands of miles away are of course willing, for they have now no prestige to lose, and they are willing to throw away thous- ands of lives in order to gain little glory just as the peace conference meets.
 It does not seem possible that out of their experience with the Japanese the Russians could act so foolishly, but their military commanders have but little military sense, and they may try once more to win victory in the field.
 The Japanese would welcome Rus sian advance, for thus far they have not had an opportunity to show what they could do when acting on the de- fensive. In every previous movement of this war they have been compelled to assume the offensive. It is easy to imagine how effective they would be on the defensive. This is what they are waiting for, and they may still be waiting when peace comes.

USE FOR CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
,m the New York World.

From the New York World.
 vespasian Warner, who as commis- sioner of pensions distributes S14OoO GOO a year, received letter from veteran who had been drawing a pension for years saying he was not now entitled to pen- sion. In the letter was inclosed a voucher for s60 the latest quarterly payment sent to him.
 This was unusual, but not pnprecdent- ed. MT. Warner decided there must be something wrong mentally with a man who would voluntarily give up s2o a month for life and directed a medical board to examine him.
 The doctors found that the man was in excellent health, mentally as well az physically The veteran said he had ap- piled for the pension when he was in poor health, but that he had become Chris tian Scientist and all his infirmities had disappeared.
 Christian Scientists will rejoice that the doctors-their arch-enemes-have said that d man can join their cult and not be mentally unbalanced.
 If all veterans were to become Christian Scientists the government could save bil- lions of dollars--or expend the mnoey in battleships. Since 1861 upward of $S,0OO,00o,- 900 has been paid out in pensions-largely because of the lack of faith in Christian Science. Any nation wishing to set up a state religion should choose Christian Science-it is economical

 No "Shametul Peace. ]"

Great Russia is whistling as it walks through the graveyard of it's dreams, and the Car is leading in the whistling. But it is only whstling he is doing, for Russia has no choice. She must take whatever terms she can get. She stands today the worst-whipped nation of mod ern times.
 In European money markets the con census of opinion is that Japan will demand as an indemnity a billion of dollars, while Russia will insist that half billion is the just amount. The compromise figures will probably be three-quarters of a billion dollars. In ternational finances have been adjusted to that sum, and Russia will have no trouble in borrowing the sum named as compromise, provided the finan- ciers can see ahead enough of Russian reforms to ensure stable government in that country
 This demand of the financiers will be apt to hasten the promulgation of the parliamentary scheme, which will,

Our Mosuuiioes.

The committee appointed by the Jeff ferson County Medical society find that just about fifteen per cent of the mos quitoes in Jones valley belong to the stegomyia species, or about one in seven. The other six have no relation to yellow fever being mere instances. and very hungry ones at that.
 Our stegomyia mosquitoes do not surprise anyone for the species is found in all sections of America, even as far north as Labrador. Atlanta of course is excepted. The air of that modest and unassuming town is so bracing and wintry all summer that the stegomyia drops dead at the city line. not being able to even present her quarantine certificate. With the sole exception of Atlanta the stegomyia mosquito is found in all parts of this country.
 She is here to the extent of one in seven, and the question is, What shall we do to her? She is no more vicious than any other mosquito until yellow fever victim appears unlawfully on the scene, and then she gets down to busi- ness. Once filled with the virus of the fever she remains dangerous to man. kind as long as she lives, and she m live until frost comes. She IS by no means a weakling. Mayor Ward can sentence her to death, but in order to carry his order into effect he would have to kill all mosquitoes, and that would be no calamity, nor would the effort be very expensive. It would be worth all 1t would cost.
 At any rate all should remember that the warfare no longer relates to per so-s or clothing or goods, but solely to the stegomyia mosquito. One in seven of our mosquitoes are stegomyia mos quitoes. and we cannot separate the sheep from the gJats and all we can do, therefore, is to sleep under bars, freely using pennyroyal or other herbs, or else exterminate the entire mos quito family. It can be done, and Mayor Ward is the right man to tackle lne job.

Makinu Cheap Iron.

The South Bend Tribune, Indiana's great afternoon newspaper. brings news that one z. G. Sholes an inventor of typewriter Improvements, has also devised process ''of turning ore into iron" with comparatively no slag in the output. As all ores are about one-half slag an anxious world will wait to hear how he causes the slag half of ore to disappear up the fiue.
 The remarkable MT. Sholes proposes to abolish pig iron, for he is going to turn the iron that flows from his mod ernized furnace at once and on the spot into window weights and other merchantable forms. The Tribune ad- mits that electricity is to be freely used by Mir Sholes, but the great factor" it adds, Ifs secret preparation added at the proper moment" The Tribune gravely assures its numerous readers that enough of MT. Sholes secret prep aration can be carried in the pocket to transfer many tons of ore into iron Some South Bend capitalists have come to the relief of the inventor and plant is to be erected 'in the east" which is to 50 in operation within six months
 The plant is to be erected at Niagara Falls. where lightning can be had in

REPUBLIC IRON AND STEEL.
Annual Figures All ln-Dividend Pros
 poets of the Corporation.

From the Wall Street Journal.
 The figures covering the operations of the subsidiary companies of the Republic Iron and Steel company for the fiscal year ended June 90, are all in, but 1t IS not likely the statement for 1904. will be made public before the annual meeting in october. Notwithstanding the fact that the iron and steel business in gen. eral was poor in the last half of 1904, the showing of the Republic for the fiscal year was satisfactory, and substantial dividend was earned on the preferred stock.
 By the first of October, two years back dividends, or IA per cent will be due on the preferred stock President Thomp- son intimates that dividends will proba- bly, be resumed in the fall and If state ments bearing on earnings are true, dis bursements to stockholders would be jus tifed The company is in better position financially and physically than at any time since its organization. and it's in- come over the next twelve months will be augmented through it's new rail mill. The mill started under the most favorable conditions. The orders already booked will keep the plant in operation for sever- al months even if no additional business is received. As matter of fact the com pany has been forced to refuse certain rail orders owing to it's inability to make deliveries on specified time.
 Speaking of the iron and steel indus try representative of the Republic said

Return of the Teachers.

Prof. Thomas R. Walker of Wylam, ac- companied by almost 100 Alabama teach CTS. returned yesterday from Knoxville where he had been attending the sessions of the summer school of the south held in that city. In the returning party were pr. J H. Phillips, superintendent of the Birmingham schools. and Professors Young, Adams and Hays.
 In commenting on the session of the summer school. Professor Walker highly commended it's purpose and scope as we'll as the personnel and character of the teachers who were in attendance.
 It was this summer school, by the way, that evoked from President G. Stanley Hall of Clark university at Worcester. Mass, a few years ago the significant re- mark that socially the school teachers in the south exceled those of any other section of the union.

Moving Garbage Cans.

There is considerable complaint in the section of the city in which am located about the lax manner in which garbage Is taken from the cans and boxes on the sidewalks" said man yesterday who conducts business on Nineteenth street near Seventh avenue.
 "I heartily agree with Mayor Word in his cleanup policy and believe the peo- pie of the city are doing all in their power to carry out his orders but think the employees of the city whose business 1t Is to take up the garbage and trash from cans and other receptacles used for the purpose should be more dllligent in their duties.
 Garbage in my section of the city is sometimes left standing for several days. It seems to me that this matter should be attended to more promptly and at shorter intervals. I consider this one of the most important features of the Mayor s cleanup policy and believe he will have 1t attended to when his attention is call l ed to it."

WHAT HUMILlATEs THE WEBSTER

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
 One thing that annoys and humiliates a western man in New York City is the way in which he Is herded with the crowd. Out west man is an individual. He feels that he is somebody-a respon- sible citizen, a factor in the community, a person more or less worth while' en- titled to a certain amount of respect merely as a man, and regardless Of wealth or social position or political pow er But in New York. unless one is some- body very important. he is nobody at all. He is mere unit in the mob. of no more moment than one ant in hill.

"souvenIr Card" Collection.

Austin Sims. "the silent man." who sell dom speaks and never smiles has one of the most nearly complete collections of "souvenir cards" that are to be found in the country.
 Naturally of a retioent disposition and little inclined as he is to engage in con- versation MT. Sims several years ago hit upon this means of interesting and amus- ing himself. Through a large number of friends who have been won by his re- markable faculty of always listening and seldom having anything to say, MT. Sims has received from, almost every notable point in America, Great Britain and Eu- rope one of these souvenir cards.'' All these he has preserved and catalogued and now at a moments notice he can turn to them and have a glimpse of something that suggests the beauty of Pkes Peak, the Yellowstone park. Ma jora.. Newport, the St. Lawrence river, old Quebec, Toronto, Mexico or Buenos Ayres, not to mention London, Paris, Berlin. Rome and other cities.
 On each card Is the postmark of the place from which 1t is sent and line or two from the sender Among these per sons who have thought of the shy and men whose names have won national and international fame. In some cases the autographic initials of the senders are quite as interesting as the cards them selves

the question of official prices no longer cut any figure. Tt is a question:" said he "of how much the producer can get above the official quotations"
 The year ended June 30, 1904, was a try ing one for the Republic Iron and Steel company. Cost of production increased, inventory values were cut nearly $7OO,- 900, in November, 1903, there was a drop of s6 a ton in steel, and production was reduced nearly 40 per cent As result the net loss during the year was $254,1ss. After deducting the only quarterly divi- dend of 1% per cent on the preferred stock for the year there remained sur plus of g. e36,122 on June 30, 1904.
 The Republic will continue its policy of expansion. and endeavor to bring It's plants up to the highest degree of effi- ciency. From the time of It's organiza- ton in lS99 to June 30. 1904, it expended s6, 50O,0O0 for new construction, and this sum has been largely increased since then.
 To a large extent the upward tendency of Republic securities has been due to buying on the part of traders who anti cipate a resumption of dividends before the close of the current year.
