POETRY AND FACT.
The Bard of Childhood and Ills Admir-

 TT just came into tell you how deep ly l appreciate your child rhymes-I beg which you so beautifully sing of the love of parents for their little ones."
 Thank you. It Is gratifying and en- couraging to hear that you appreciate tnem.''
 The great trouble with most poems in winch love for children is the theme js that they don't ring true. The feeling Is so palpably counterfeit. Very often they are beautifully constructed-musical and all that, you know-but there is tho lack of that something which makes one feel that the secret of one's own heart is being revealed
 q assure you that I shall. after this, have a fresh enthusiasm in my work I have sometimes feared that my own poems of children had the faults which you say so many of the rhymes produced by others betray."
 An, how could you think that? Sure ly every word that you have ever writ ten about children and child life must nave come from the heart You must have suffered to have been able to write some of the things with which you have brought tears to my eyes. I suppose that you have lost one or more little ones, or you never could-pardon me. I ought not to have said that. I should have been

 When the Poles, and more especially the Bohemfans, began to come to this coun- try, scatteringly In the 4Os and in numbers In the 50s and later. they passed almost without stopping through the Atlantic states and through Ohio Indiana and Illi- nois, and went on to the states where they could then get land either as home- steaders or at cheap rates-to Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and later to the prairie states, first to Iowa, tben to Ne braska and the Dal1otas Those that came up from the gulf ports settled too in Texas
 All through this region the independent farmer is the type. He began independ- ently on his arrival. He did not start as hired laborer and work his way up but came with his little capital to invest We do not realize how much this sort of thing still goes on. For instance, I was told of a group of seven Bohemians going to Nebraska last June. Most of them had 5000, the poorest had S10O0 They had come without their families, whom they will go back to fetch when they have se- lected their land. So, too, was in a lit- tie town in Texas where Bohemian cou- pie had just arrived with a considera ble sum with which they proposed to buy land. A Bohemian pastor was helping them to select location, and as he had fine place of his own with charming Vineyard, they had skilled advice.

I shall be much happier af- ter this, remembering that your heart has , not been torn by that sorrow.

New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 A western 1obber recently sent an as- piring young man on the road to open up new territory where a new railroad was going through. All the towns be- ing new. there were no hotel accommoda- tions, and 1t was necessary for the sales man to secure meals and lodging at res taurants, etc., where the price was 25 cents per meal On looking over the ex- pense account the manager noticed all meals charged at 50 cents.
 Look here. Charley, l see you have charged us go cents per meal on your trip and I am reliably informed that 1t is impossible to get a meal for more than 25 cents in your entire territory. How about it?'
 well" said the salesman. you are right It did cost mo but 25 cents per meal. but tell you. sir. it's worth the other % to eat those meals.'

There was tremendous scramble to get invitations for the ball, which was huge success. Lady New borough. who was to have given CO., tillon, also at the Ritz, was compelled to abandon 1t owing to the serious Illness of her husband, who has undergone a se- rious operation-the fourth in the last two years.

 Slavic farming in the East has a differ ent history and is of a different type. It occupies more Poles and fewer Bohe- mlans. It began later It is in much closer connection with industrial colonies. Where in the three older groups, the ma jority are Independent farmers, who came from the old country with money to buy land in America, and this group (and also in Illinois and Maryland), the hired farm laborer predominates.

NEW PAY SYSTEM
BEGUN LAST WEEK

The system OF paying Government
employees In The various executive de-
partments and bureaus in Washington.
instituted the first Of the month, was
tried on the semi-n.onthIy payment last
week for the first time.
It is said that the new system Is the
OutgTOwtn of certaia recommendations
made by the Keep Commission after an
investigation of the methods of doing
business In the departments.
The new system was FORMULATED under
the direction of Secretary OF the Treas
ury CoEtelyou, and was approved by the
Comptroller OF the Treasury.
The old system in many of the de-
partments was to pass around the pay
roll day or two before pay day and
have the employees all sign il, when they
were given slip 10 be signed and pre-
scented on pay day. at which time the
slips were gathered in and the en-
ployes paid.
BY the new system an employee Is re-
qulred TO sign the pay roll on pay day
In the presence Of the disbursiug officer,
1T which time he is paid his salary,
thus doing away with the slips.

necessary for the Subcommittee on Ap-

under the head at ordinary exDendi-

While the Commissioners recon-

of bookkeeping, IL is of vital importance

current revenues without conhseatory
taxation.
Here we cannot issue bonds. and do
not need TO. We can borrow from our
partner tie United States who has the
custody Of orr tax money and the con
troll OF all appropriations. This is what
we have done for the past six years,
payine 2 per cent on the advance, made
from the Treasury. But, unfortunately.
the advances have not been charged up
TO the extraordinary appropriations and
kept separate on the books Of the Treas
urv. as we desire. The result has been
that the current expenditures have been
cut In the attempt TO make US pay for
extraordinary improvements and cur
rent expenditures together Hence the
insufficient appropriations for the
schools. health. fire. police. street, and
road improvements, cleaning and light
ing. and other municipal services.
Need No Further Taxation.
"Au the time we have had sufficient
District revenues 20 provide annually
a reasonable repayment 20 the Treasury
for its advances which would cover the
extraordinary account and also for our
share Of the current expenditures. for
which we needed no advances from the
