became known to the public through
her short stories. The most notable Of
these was "A Humble Romance"

About sixteen years ago the fair nov-

years, and during that time the affair
was once or twice broken off, but in

a visitor, a cockney from London, and

They walked and walked, finding

The Call Of the City.

Do you hear the call Of the cityf
Do you mark how the men replyI
Thousands and hundreds OF thousands
The crowds are hurrying by.
And those who have failed are many,
And many are those who have won.
But the most OF all the thousands
Are the men who have just begun.
For youth" Is the call of the city.
And the strong young men come forth
From the cheer of the southern planta'
lions.
From the desolate farms OF the north
from the old New England homestead,
From the lonely ranch in the west;
They bring their strength to the strug-
gle.
They offer the city their best.
They give their youth and vigor
In eager sacrifice.
And out of the stress of their toiling
Shall the City OF Beauty arise.
They are worn and spent with labor.
They are tossed aside again.
And the city is calling. calling,
For the lives of other men.

bill in the house Monday. considering
the fact that it is a measure of both
parties.
Mr.. Littlefield of Maine opened the
day with a whirlwind speech. in which
he pointed out what he termed the
drastic and far-reaching effect of it's
provisions. The committee, he said.
had gone much further than the presi-
dent had recommended. and much fur
Their than he was willing to go. He
would not vote for the bill. The bill
provides seven commissioners. and
made four quorum. and it WIS possi-
BILE for the president to remove three
and leave all the power in the majority
of the remaining four It would be
then that this dangerous power would
rise up and curse its makers. Mr.. Ste
vens of Minnesota, following. said the
huge and awful things predicted were
not contained in the bill.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio ridiculed the
alleged popular demand for the legisla-
ton. picked flaws in the construction
of the bill. complained because no
amendments were to he allowed. and
concluded with the statement that he
should do his best to get the bill out
of the house at the earliest possible mo-
ment, which was taken to mean that
he would vote for it. He said It was not
true that there was any popular de-
mand for the railway legislation. What
there was had been manufactured out
Of the whole cloth in congress. There
never had been such fake issue
launched. Rebates constituted le-

why not put it in the bin plainly.
