Mark, Hitchcock Reports.


Washington, D. C.-The annual re-
tary OF the Interior, transmitted to
Congress, embraces 10000 words,
or 253 pages, exclusive of the suppln-
mental reports of bureaus and func-
tionaries under the department. Mr..
Hitchcock's jurisdiction is over the
Indians, Pensions, Patent Office, Geo.
logical Survey, General Land Office,
the Reclamation Service, Bureau of
Education, the Territories and Ma
tional parks and reservations and
many other matters Of minor i'm
p%ortance. In asking for additional
legislation for the protection of pub
lie lands, the Secretary says:
approximately 100000 acres and
more Of the public domain in certain
States and Territories are by unlaW-
full means appropriated to the exclu-
sive use. Of private interests for pri-
vate gain" Of
or the War of 1912 no soldier sur
wives, but there are ESQ widows of
that war on the rolls. Of the Indian
wars there 7 2173 survivors and
1857 widows; of the Mexican War.
1884 survivors and 1888 widows.
Three daughters of Revolutionary
soldiers survive. No soldier survives.
The report says:
The maximum number of pen
sioners was reached January 81.
1905, when it was 1,~QO4,196, since
which date there has been a steady
decrease, aggregati1g, to June 80,
1906, 1895"
The Pension Commissioners expects
the decrease will be more marI-cd
during the current year.

Things are seen by the eyes only
after they are appreciated by the
heart.
The secret Of mastering the flesh
IS not in ignoring it, but In giving it
a worthy task.
The mill is sure to be swept away
when the church tries to grind its
grist with the DEVILS power.
He loses his intellectual powers who
does not put them out at interest.
So long as you despise your fellow
You shut your heart to the spirit Of
Christ.
Many a preacher loses his power by
pointing men the way he has never
gone.
The object Of your worship is not
that on which you brood.
Unnecessary friction with our fell
lows takes from life's force, but the
necessary friction adds to it.
One trouble about the foolish boast
of walking alone is that when the
boaster falls he does not fall alone.
In time of temptation let the light
of the Sun Of Righteousness shine
and you can see the difference be-
tween gold and tinsel.
No architect ever yet designed a
monument heavy enought to hold
a mans guilty past.
Many a man will find when the
light of Heaven searches cut the
of his revenue, it will make
his righteousness look rather ragged.
