A SONG
BY A. E. Hcus-nan in McClure's.

Ey A. E. Housnan in MccIure's.
White in the moon the long road lies,
The mocn stands blank above;
White IN the moon the long road lies
That leads NE from my love.
Still hangs the hedge without a gust,
Still Still the shadows stay:
MY feet upon the moOnlit dust
Pursue the ceaseless way.
The world is round. 40 travellers tell.
And straight though reach tho
Trudge on, trudse on, twill all be
well,
The way will guide one back.
But ere the circle homeward aies
Far. far must it remove:
White in the moon the long "oad lies
That leads me from my lo;e.

Richmond and Wayne county men

who have been bombarding Congress
man Watson with applications and
"follow-up" letters, will have cold wat
er thrown on their ambitions when
they learn that in the next few years
Indiana aspirants for places will likely
be ruthlessly cast aside.
A bulletin just issued by the civil
service commission shows that Indi-
ana has thirty-nine more places in the
departments in Washington, than it is
entitled to. The commission says
that under an equitable apportionment
Indiana's share of positions in the de-
partmental service would be 252 and
that the State, in fact, has 291 men
and women in the departments at the
capital.
1t has been known for some time
that the Hoosier statesmen were
'crowding the limit in their efforts
to get jobs for their constituents, but
it did not leak out until today that the
States quota is overdrawn to such an
extent as the figures show. The COM
mission, in it's typewriter statement,
gives the percentage of Indiana's over
draft to a gnat's heel. 1t announces
that Indiana has 115.47S per cent of
the number of places to which it is en-
titled.
The commissions announcement
probably will send a thrill through
several Indian congressman who are
hungry for more places. Indiana has
long been noted as having a delega-
ton that nothing slip by that was not
tied down.

Law Was Enforced.
Publishers Press.1

Atlanta Ga, Dec. 25.-To avoid the
possibility OF any repetition of recent
race rioting in this city, Mayor Wood
ward issued peremptory order clos
ing all saloons in the city, to remain
closed until Wednesday morning. For
several weeks indefinite rumors have
been heard that Christmas was to be
made the occasion of an attack upon
the negroes Of Atlanta.
No such rumor could be traced to an
authoritative source, but the effect
was to drive many negroes from the
city. Several *. X. X" notices were
posted about the streets last Saturday
While no serious consideration was
given them a reward of 5000 was Of
fered by Mayor Woodward for evil
dence TO convict any person of post
ing these notices or in any way incit-
ing to riotiag. The law requires that
all saloons be closed Christmas day,
but never before was the law put in
force Christmas eve.
