70 saamnndrne Love and Immortality Voices from the
ON the Mountains" and History OF Mornors,'
A little stream had lost it's way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped we'll,
Where weary men might turn;
He walled it in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink
He thought not of the deed he did,
But thought that all might drink.
He passed again, and 10! the well,
BY summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues
And saved life beside.
A nameless man, amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall word of hope and love,
sUnstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath
1t raised brother from the dust,
1t saved soul from death.
o germ! fount! o word of love!
o thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.

Sylvester found 1t so hard to steer
clear of trouble between the multi.
plicity of opinions that he would lose
the whole responsibility.
What motive may have actuated the
move in the government printing Of.
fee is unknown, but the fact remains
that recently the order was promul-
gated, and man went through the de-
partment removing pictures, mirrors
and all other attempts at decorations
from the walls.
In the course of his work came a
large picture of the president, and the
men in the room, who had watched
his iconoclastic progress with dis
pleasure, waited eagerly to see what
he would do. The man paused, and
some one asked if he intended to re.
move the picture. He replied that he
didn't think he would at that particu-
lar time, and passed on, gathering up
truck load of other articles.
The picture of the president rested
In solitary glory for three days, while
in some place about the building there
were held councils of war to decide II
it should come down.
The ayes won the conference, and
the destroyer of amateur attempts at
decorative art came and took it down,
carrying 1t away to oblivion.

two measures became laws as the sey-

The immigration bill, one Of the
measures brought over from the long
session, was completed under the spur
Of President Roosevelt that he might
meet the Acknowledgements situation
by giving the administration control
OF coolie importation through pass
ports. The bill further restricts the
admission Of aliens to the country.
A bill was passed for the establish.
ment of an agricultural bank in the
Philippine islands. The free alco-
hol law of last session was modified
that farmers may distill the waste
products of the farm to be denatured
and used in the arts and sciences.

ART STRICTLY BARRED In
GOVERNMENT PRINTSHOP

IF there are those in the government
printing office who are vain, or
those who have been leaning toward
the artistic, they must confine their
admiration of what their mirrors por-
tray to the sacred confines Of their
homes-or the corner bar. Also no
more will they be permitted to cover
up patches of somberness on the walls
of the government printing office with
decorative pictures or calendars.
Even the pictures of President
Roosevelt are not exempt from the
attacks of the art censor, although a
likeness of the executive stayed lone
somely on the walls of the bindery for
three days while the censor consid-
cred the propriety of including it with
in the category of pictures" or dec
orations."
Maj. Sylvester recently asked a po-
lice regulation permitting him to pro-
hibit the display of all pictures on the
billboards in the district. Close in
vestigation developed the fact that it
was not because of any aversion to
art on the part of the head of the po-
lice department, but because he
wished to rid himself of the onerous
responsibility of saying what should
and what should not go on the bill
boards.
Under the present regulations he is

a source of considerable annoyance
to officials.
At this particular door the first mis-

the place vacant for time, as no one

had to be filled by calling on the civil
