Raises in pay from $500 to $1,000
are asked by the greater number of
department heads in the District
government. The Commissioners,
who viii pass upon those appliea-

On all the upland pastures the strong
winds gallOp free.
Trampling down the lowered stalks
sleepy in the sun.
Whirl away In blue and gold all their
fnery,
TIL na xed crouch the gentle hosts
where the winds have run.
Along the. rocking hinsides shaggy heads
Out upon the tawny plains tortured
dust leaps high.
The red roof IF the sunset Is torn awry
and rent.
And chaos lifts the heavy sea and
bends the hollow sky.
The winds are drunk with freedom-the
crowded valley roar
The ma dness sUrge5 through their
veins, and when they gallop out
The black rain follows close behind, the
pale sun fees before,
And reckleSSiy across the world goes
all the broken rout
I was striding on the uplands when the
host was running mad;
] saw them threshing through the
leaves and daisy tops below,
And as their feet came UP the hill, my
tired heart grew glad
TIL al the music Of their tlfroats ]
knew that I must 90.
So The winds are now my brothers, they
have joined me 10 their ranks:
And when their rampant strength wells
up and drives them singing forth,
am with them when they roll the foE
across the oily Parks,
Ard tumble out the sleepy bergs that
crowd beyond the North.
The woods are dsenched with moonlight
and every leafs awake:
TIE little beads OF dew sit white on
every twig and blade:
A thousand stars are scattered thick b.
meath the forest lake:
We pass-and only laughter for the
havoc We have made.
There's not a wind that brushes the Ions
bright fields Of corn,
Or shriekiug, drives the broken wreck
beneath q blackeneG sea:
There's not wind that draws the rain
across the face Of morn.
That does not rise when 7 arise and
sink again with me-
