Kansas Congressman Condemns Mail
Weighing System in p. q. Bill.

Washington, May 22.-Mr Overstreet
made a strong plea for the mail sub
sidy provision of the P. o. appropria-
ton bill which it was under discussion,
while Mr.. Moon CTenn.l, the ranking
minority member of the postoffice
committee, bitterly opposed it, The
subsidy feature was opposed by Messrs.
Stafford (Wis.), Small On. CO. and Fin
ley, Is. c., and the system of weighing
mails provided for In the bill was con-
demned by Mr.. Murdoch (Kan)
Expressing regret that he was COM
PEELED to break" with his Democratic
colleagues on the subsidy provision,
Mr.. Hobson (Ala.) vigorously support
ed it, saying it was matter of ma
tional Importance as distinguished from
a gratuity to private interest.
When the time came for a vote Mr..
Williams insisted on a roll call and the
yeas and nays were ordered.
The announcement of the result of
the ballot was greeted with vociferous
port. So close was the result that on
request a reorganization was ordered.
This disclosed the vote as follows:
Yeas, 145; nays. 1856.
Thereupon Mr.. Overstreet moved to
disagree to the senate amendment and
ask a further conference which motion
brought to his feet Mr.. Moon who in
sisted that having been defeated, Mr..
Oyerstreet could not under the rule be
recognized to make motion in connec-
ton with the bill. Speaker Cannon,
however, overruled the point. The
amendments then were disagreed to
and a further conference with the SEN
ate was asked.

ADJUSTMENTS
"a Little Savage,

The advance sale of seats for the
three act western military comedy.
"a Little Savage" which will be
presented at the Grand tonight by the
high school subseniors, has broken
all records for this season, giving
truth to the statement once more that
the western plays are public favorites.
The Topeka theater-goers have
strongly patronized western attrac-
tons this season and now that an
other successful and popular western
piece is to be staged here, there seems
to be even greater demand for seats
than at earlier attractions. This produc-
ton will be the last popular show
here this season. The scenic splendor
of the stage settings will be set by
magnificent electrical and calcium
light effects. The opening chorus of
forty voices in Rose the Rancho.

FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
"a :s

Mrs. Wilcox had bOundless faith in
the wisdom and general effectiveness of
her husbands advice, and consequently
he had primed hex with instructions
for any emergency that might arise
when he was absent. Among other
things, he had repeatedly warned her
in case of fire to spread a rug on the
gines.
So deeply was this advice impressed
on her sub-consciousneSs that her &C
tons the day of the fire in her home
were purely automatic.

room being rather poorly lighted, she
used the gas-jet over her bureau as an

Of the gas pipe.
Mrs. Wilcox, mindful of Jacks adj
vice, grabbed a valuable Persian rug on
the floor, and spreading 1t carefully
over the lighted gas-jet and flaming
hat, rushed cut to the telephone.
At the doorway she cOllided with her
maid, Estelle, who, hearing the rapid
movements in the room, was coming to
learn the cause.
Running over to the bureau, the girl
turned out the gas, and throwing the
rug on the floor, stamped out the flames
which had burned a hole through the
valuable tapestry
"Why, Mrs. Wilcox" she cried, why
didn't you turn out the gas?"
''Turn out the gas?" answered her
mistress. "Well, aren't you bright!

DAY AT GETTYSBURG

These graves, which show where blood
was shed,
These mounds, now strewn with roses
red,
Recall past days of bitter strife,
When brother sought his brothers life.
That hate, which once had unknown
power,
Has turned to love in this glad hour;
No more shall war, with threat'ning air,
Arise to drive us to despair.
Each soldier brave who now survives
Recounts the blessings he derives
From untold hardships he endured
And what to all has been secured.
The gray, the blue, their loves here show
For comrades resting still and low;
Beneath these mounds their forms will lie
Till Gabriel calls them to the sky.
Soon all these living soldiers, bent
With years that Father Time has lent,
Will rest within these hallowed grounds
Still friends will strew with flowers their
mounds.
Where once was hate, love reigns instead
Love rules the heart and guides the head (;
Dread civil war we no more fear,
Since love grows strong from year to
year.
May peace throughout all time be ours,
A pledge be these expressive flowers,
And as each coming year they bloom,
May they adOrn a soldiers tomb.
Here Meade, the hero of this field,
Caused Lee, with all his hosts to yield
To force of arms as we'll controlled
As those of Marathon of old.
Now two score years have passed, and
more,
Since those dark days of war were DER.
Yet time moves on, and on and on;
Soon our last veteran will be gone.
Their ranks grow thin each passing year ;
There'll soon be none to answer Here ~
Then all will be enrolled on high,
Where are no tears, nor cen a sigh.
Still songs will be forever taught
T. tell of deeds through valor wrought
those who fought and died to save
\ dr land from a dishonOred grave.

BEAUTIFUL KINGSLEY LAKE.
Et's the Largest and Deepest Spring
An the State of Florida.

FITS the Largest and Deepest Spring
in the State of Florida.
Every Starkeite admires Kingsley
Lake for clear water and high and dry
shores and pretty scenery, but that the
spects is not generally known, says the
Starke (Fla.) Telegraph.
This lake Is the largest spring In
Florida. It receives hardly any more
water than runs out Of it through
Black Greek and the enormous guam
ttty evaporated from its two and one
half square miles Of surface would sup
| ply. several such streams as Silver
| Springs run, not to mention the water
soaked in 1t" by its banks. The lake
has been found ninety-two feet deep In
places, but is probably deeper in others.
It is situated on the backbone ridge Of
Florida, and while it's banks slope
steeply to the water its surface Is high
er than the land some miles away in
any direction. The shores are high and
dry, except the southwest, which Is
fat and marshy. The bottom slopes
gently everywhere except on the south
eastern side, where the sand carried
by the waves causes it to shoal up so
rapidly that it will, no doubt, become
dry beach in a few years.
Kingsley Lake is nearly two miles
across in any direction and about Ave
and three-quarter miles around. In
bygone ages its southern shere was
probably a straight line until the then
prevailing northwesterly winds scooped
away the sand on the southeast side
until the lake became round.
By that time the winds encountered
vegetation and could change the out
| lines no more. The dunes composing
the scrub" on that side were formed
by the sand dug from the lake bottom.
| Vegetation took hold there but slowly,
and even as late as thirty years ago
large areas presented nothing but white
sand. But the wild rosemary bush,
which only requires a place to stay,
prepared the way for other shrubs, I'M
til now that locality is well covered
with chapparal.
Davis InOmaS, the government sur
veyor who sectionized the land around
there in 1891, calls the lake in mis- field
notes "open lake." and remarks lacon-
icelly "this lake is very near round"
Judging from his notes, nobody lived
on It's shores at that time, and en- the
great Newmansville and Middleburg
road which later ran on the south side
Of the lake did not then exist. The
lake was later named for Mr.. Kingsley.
an Englishman, who held large Spanish
grants in other parts Of Clay County.
Many kinds Of hardwood trees grow
on the shores Of the lake, and springs
Of pure water are common. The soil,
irrigated, is unsurpassed for early veg
etables and fruits. Summer residences
are numerous and will be more so when
q contemporary power launch will make
regular trips between different points
on this beautiful water.

Eartb,s Limit of Population.

1t is estimated That the FERTILE lands
IF the globe amount to 28,000,000 square
miles, the steppes to 100000 and the
deserts to 100000. Fixing 207 persons
to the square mile for fertile lands, ten
for steppes and one for deserts as the
creates population that the earth could
possibly nourish, scientists have arrived
at the conclusion that when the number
Of inhabitants reaches 6,OO0,OOO,OOO the
earth will be peopled to its full capac-
ity. At present it contains somewhat
more than one-quarter of that number.
If the rate of increase shown by the
latest census statistics should be uni
formly maintained. the globe would be
fully peopled about the year 2072.

A Popular Myth Exploded.

"There is popular myth" says Colo
mel Mosby, that Pope announced in
his general order upon taking command
that his headquarters would be in the
saddle The fact is that Pope never
said any such thing, but it has become
an article of faith in the South. To
question it's truth in Virginia would be
regarded as being as great an act Of
impiety as to discredit the legend Of
Pocahontas and Captain Smith"
