When the sap begins to how,
Ere the green begins to show,
To the maple grove we HE,
On creaking vain, piled high
With our kettles, pals and. boards,
And our dippers made Of gourds,
With a knife Of whittle spiles,
With an ak to use tween whites,
Chopping wood to boil the pot
Filled from each sweet flowing slet;
With an egg. ITO clear" that grows
Toothsome, as our Bobby knows,
After passing through the sweet,
Plus the tabled peek" we eat.
Coatless, Caleb bears the pail:
Hetty, somehow, goes with Gale,
With her gourd to dip the sap
From the trough beneath each tap;
How they delve and work, those two,
Back and forth the whole day through
And their elders point them out
Unto Bob, who hangs about
Where the kettle, foaming, boils,
Hoping for the skimmer's spoils.
Our knowing Bob has faith but small
In virtue, whose reward is all
Within itself, and so concludes
To conjugate these unknown moods.
I'm bet they drink the sap" quotA he.
I'll watch behind this maple tres."

Struggles and Rewards Of Stage.
The stage is like no other profession
in the world. There are no prescribed
courses of study, no regular textbooks,
and no diplomas, except the applause of
audiences, and this is an uncertain
quantity. Above all else it is pro-
fession In which individuality counts
for nearly everything, yet that same in
dividuality has to he sunk completely
that artistic success may be attained,
paradoxical as this statement may
seem.
Thorn-strewn is the path Of one ar
tistically inclined in this profession.
All, there IL so much. to overcome so
many heartbreaking disappointments to
endure! In other professions one learns
his lessons, and sufficient number of
lessons learned means proficiency. With
the actress it is very, very much differ
emit There Is no end to the study, the
lessons Of greatest value are learned
through trials, and many earnest ef-
ARTS often prove to be but SO much
lime wasted. Hundreds fail where one
succeeds; the selfish trampie onward
over the meek; the modest and unas-
Stunning seldom rise above the foot Of
the ladder. But, with all this in mind,
| can still feel that the dramatic profess
sion Is more than worth while. Great
rs the struggle, the reward Is common
mrate. For many reasons a woman
may attain greater fame, greater sue
cess, and greater intellectual heights
through being an actress than would
be hers In any other profession. Sarah

Chicago, April 4.-John Alexander
Dowie, head of the Christian Cath
Ollie Church in Zion," has been de-
posed as religious leader, suspended
from membership in the church he
founded, shorn of his temporal possess
sions, as far as they are located in
Zion City, the home of his church,
and warned to accept the situation
quietly lest worse things befal him.
The formal announcement of Dowie's
overthrow was made Monday by Over
seer John g. Speicher, who presided
over meeting of 1000 members Of
the church in the tabernacle as Zion
City.
The meeting opened with the quota
ton by various church dignitaries Of
passages from the Bible expressive Of
the sentiment which has grown up
against the self-styled prophet.
The crowd, which filed the great
structure and which formerly answered
yes or s'no' when Dowie nodded
or shook his head, applauded when he
was accused.

The following message was sent to
Dowie, Informing him Of the change
in the situation:
'Dowie, Ocotlan, Jalisco, Mexico:

BUREAUCRATIC BARRIER
Still STRONG AS EVER

st. Petersburg, April 2.-Dimitri
Shipoff, Of Moscow, who is generally
recognized as one Of the most rational
of the liberal leaders, takes anything
but an optimistic view Of the future OF
the empire.
M. Shipoff took middle position
after the manifesto Of October 30, se-
ceding at that time from the radical
wing of the zemstvos, He regarded
the promises of the manifesto as suffi-
cient for the present.
Now, however, M. Shipof believes
that the government Is showing bad
faith. In the course of an interview
he severely condemned the manifesto
of March 8, saying it did not make OF
the council Of the empire . second
chamber of the national parliament,
but interposed between the monarch
and the people the same old bureau
cratic barrier, robbing the peoples
branch Of the parliament OF rights
which it is supposed to have and not
realizing the promise Of responsible
ministry, leaving the parliament at
the mercy Of the government, through
sovereign power Of propagation.
He predicted that the struggle be-
tween the government and the people.
while having been long in unfolding,
was far from being ended. he saw
only strife ahead when the parliament
meets.
Only q parliament elected on the
basis Of universal SURFACE, N. ShipoR
declares, will satisfy the peasants land
demands. NJ. ShipoR bewails the lack
az moral conscience and sense Of re-
sponsibility to high principle among
the Russian people as q whole, but
SAYS that this is only the natural re-
suit of long oppression By the bureau

He says that it is already apparent
from the progress Of the elections that
tie peasants are possessed Of single
idea, the getting Of land together.

N.w Greed and Financial Policy.

New AHee0 ana rmanCAu OasGy.
Chicago, April 4.-Voliva and other
directors Of Zion have adopted new
creed and financial policy to save the
residents of the community from SUI
fering for necessities: Voliva said:
'sThe church is to be conducted as
q Christian cooperative community,
continuing to respect Dowie for the
good he has done. We now see he
never possessed divine power. We don't
believe any man among rs is q direct
authorized agent Of God. We are all
humble workers for the common
good.
It is planned to raise 81 600, 600 Inn

from Dowie in answer to the telegram
sent Monday.

CANE IS DEFINED.
Wild Birds Raised in Captivity May Be
Killed and Sold.


Seattle, April 2.-Attorney Gem
eral Atkinson has submitted an opin-
ion defining what constitutes game
The opinion is addressed to State Aud
tier Clausen and is in reply to letter
from Charles A. Kinnear, Of Seattle.
Mr.. Kinenar has investigated the
matter of pheasant raising on small
farms and logged off lands Of the state
and has concluded that it could be
made source Of great profit to the
small farmer or rancher.
As showing the possibilities Of the
industry he points out that the value
of the various plumage pheasants runs
all the way from S. to $2S per pair;
that they are less difficult and no more
expensive to raise than chickens, and
that the market, both for the plumage
and flesh of the birds is practically
inexhaustible.
In his letter to the attorney general
Mr.. Kinnear says:
'.In behalf of several farmers and
other individuals of the state who de-
sire to raise in captivity pheasants,
grouse or quail for the market and for
bench show purposes, ask thu follow
ing questions:
''In your opinion, is there anything
in the laws of the state of Washington
prohibiting the Offering for sale In
the open market of grouse, pheasants
or quail that have been Matched and
reared by hen in captivity"
II have to advise you," says the
opinion, 'that the statutes regulating
the hunting or killing of wild animals
and wild birds in this state, relate and
depend specifically in title and body
on the word game In the construc-
ton Of these laws, it then becomes
necessary in this instance to know the
proper definition of that term. The
English and American Encyclopedias
of Law, volume IA, page. 654, gives
the following definition:
"'Game has been defined as birds
and beasts of wild nature, obtained
by fowling and hunting. Game is a
general term for animals or birds of a
wild nature usually pursued or sought
by sportsmen for amusement.
''It is my opinion that our laws in
this state covering the subject, we're
intended by the legislature to relate
strictly to game, meaning animals and
birds in their wild, free, rowing state;
and these statutes were not intended
in any manner to limit or prevent
any probable or possible occupation or
industrial development relating to the
growing and raising and demonstrating
of any kinds of birds or animals for
food products and the general use of
the people.
II therefore conclude that there is
nothing in our game laws as they stand
at present, that will prohibit private
raising of grouse, pheasants, quail
and similar birds when they have
been Matched and reared in captivity;
nor is there anything to prohibit their
sale in the open market"

Inc agreement is hailed with salts

clai quarters is that France securee a
fair degree of success on the PRINCIPAL

that neither France nor Germany ha.

that although France may be disap-

secured all her immediate and solid
interests in Morocco, besides establish
ing on firmer basis than ever her
prestige in Europe.

CHICAGO DECLARES FOR
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Chicago, April, 4.-Under the result
of the city election held yesterday, in
which the question of municipal own
ership of the street railways was the
vital issue, the city of Chicago can
proceed to acquire and control the
railways, but cannot operate them.
At the same time the voters, while
declaring that the city shall not pro-
coed to operate the railroads, declared
that. as question of policy it would
be desirable for the city to do so.
Three propositions we're submitted
to the voters, the first of which was:
:'Shall the city Of Chicago proceed to
operate street railways?" This propo-
sition required 60 per cent of the to-
tai vote cast in order to become effect
i've. The total vote was 231, OF
this number 100, 811 were cast in favor
of municipal operation of the street
railways and ITO, $50 against it. In
order to become binding the PROPOSE
tion to operate the railways should
have received 1873, FOG votes. 1t there
fore fell short of the required number
by 1902 votes.
The second proposition involved the
approval of an ordinance previously
passed by the city council, providing
for the issue of street railway certif1-
Gates in amount not to exceed 475.-
600, 600 for the purchase, ownership
and maintenance of the street rail-
ways. This was carried by vote of
l10,008 against LOG, 500.
Principle IL Approved.
The third question, which was SIM
ply on the question Of public policy
and has no legal effect whatever, is,
"Shall the city council proceed with
out delay to secure the municipal own
ership and operation of the street rail-
ways under the Mueller law, instead
Of granting franchises to private COM
panies?"
This proposition was carried by q
vote Of Ill, $40 to los. O25.
Mayor Dunno construed the. passage
Of the $75, 600, 600 CERTIFICATES and pub
lie policy propositions as a victory for
municipal ownership. but expressed
his disappointment over the defeat Of
the proposition for municipal opera
tion.
OF the thirty-flve aldermen elected
yesterday Mayor Dunpe claims that
nineteen are avowed champions Of mu-
nicipal ownership and that he will
have much less difficulty in passing
measures relating to that doctrine
through the city council than has been
his fortune heretofore. The faction
opposed to municipal ownership de-
clares that they still hold control Of
the council and that Mayor Dunno
will have no greater success IN the fu-
ture than he has in the past

AGREED ON MOROCCO
CONFERENCE At ALGERICAs An.
KOUNCEs AN ACCORD.
General Satisfaction With the
Outcome Is Expressed, Al
though Neither France Nor
Germany Secured What they
Most Desired.

A.6oAIodSs april S.-AIter plenary
session lasting till O'Clock Saturday
evening, the conference ON Moroccan
reforms registered complete accord
and appointed committee to embody
this accord in formal protocol. The
contamination of the work in the con-
ference was announced in the follow
ing official communication:
THE conference has terminated it's
labors and accord is established on all
points. It has adopted a definitive
text OF the remaining articles concern
ing the state bank and customs. The
fnal article, regulating the distribu-
ton of police at ports, was adopted
from the Russian draft. By it France
will police four ports, Mogador, Safi,
Magazan and Rabat, and Spain two,
Tetuan and Larache. France and
Spain together will police Tangier and
Casa Blanca, subject to an inspector of
ponlice., The Dutch delegate announ-
ced that his government declined to
appoint. an officer. The conference
has appointed special committee to
revise the texts of the agreement. This
committee will meet Monday to con-
slider the final formalities of the pro-
tocol."
White Says It Il Satisfactory.
Mr.. White, the American delegate.
is Of the opinion that the result is sat-
isfactory, not only because the imme-
diate future of Morocco is secured,
but because the manner Of the settle
ment is satisfactory both to France
and Germany and removes the causes
of friction and restores international
relations to normal. The principles
for which Germany insisted, the integ-
rity of Morocco and equal commercial
and economic rights there, Mr.. White
thought we're recognized, while the
special position claimed by France
was also acknowledged.
With reference to the effect of the
conference on Morocco, the delegates
were divided in their opinion. They
admitted, however, that the operation
of real reforms would be impossible
without the good will and sanction of
the Sultan and his advisers, and for
that reason the last act Of the confer
ence will be to authorize that the re-
form program as adopted shall be sub
mitted to the sultan by Chevalier Mel
must. the Italian minister to Morocco,
who is dean of the diplomatic corps at
Tangier, with the intiamtion that it
is the unanimous wish Of the powers
that it be put into operation immedi-
ately.
That France has come out in the
lead is regarded everywhere as evil
dent. In addition to the adoption of
what was practically her idea i, re-
gard to the policing Of Morocco, her
claim to have three shares of the stock
of the state bank has been recognized.
Germany opposed this project as long
as she could, but eventually was forced
to yield. The police question and the
bank question have been the two big
| points in DISPUTE.
