In a Minor Key.

Rich is its haunting minor key
incoming for things that can never be
Or things that are lost to the day
and sun,
Back in some black oblivion.
1t moves on wings from the misty
past,
over its gloom are shadows cast.
II whistles a dirge for ancient days
Solemnly sad are the tunes it plays
Its volume rises and falls. II fills
The heart with tremors and doubts
and thrills.
1t roams the breadth of the sea and
earth,
But II never harbors a note of mirth
%, gray old harper. in wondrous ways
Your requiem tells OF the yester'
days
But who that lives can the tale trans
late.
Or quote the presage of Life ant
Fate?
But sing away, In the chimney fue
OF things that are old and things
that are new
It'll sorrow and suffering seem sub
lime
To the very ends OF the sands o
Time.

Uncle Joe Cannon and his auto
MODELLING party got stuck in the mud
in Pennsylvania. Uncle Joe has a.
ways been considered a statesman OF
the old school, opposed to new enter
prises; but no doubt now Uncle Joe
will recall the early interest of the
national government in building post
roads, and further the progress OF the
national road building movement.

Loafers.

Did you ever consider how much
trouble and turmoil in the world is
stirred up by loafers? Do it and you
will be surprised. Investigate carefully
and you will find that nine of the ten
fuses and quarrels that you know of
in your town or neighborhood were
started by loafers who had no business
of their own to attend to and so got
busy with other peoples affairs. The
old juvenile proverb that "Satan finds
some mischief still for idle hands to
do" is as true as the gospel. There can
be no such thing as absolute idleness.
Activity of some kind is essential to
existence. Men and women have to do
something and when they have work
of their own to occupy their min S
they get busy with the affairs of others
always.

Rather Tardy justification.

Recently the Kansas City Court of
Appeals has thrown light on an impor-
tant case by handing down the follow
ing opinion:
1.-THE marriage of Adam and Eve
was not only without witnesses but so
far as the records show, they married
themselves. Herepeated the contract
and she acquiesced by silence"
The court adds that the marriage
was perfectly binding, and entirely
legal, thus removing horrible doubt
that has troubled millions of people
for hundreds of years. But-and this
is the sad part of it-like many judicial
decisions it comes too late to bring any
peace of mind or comfort to the parties
most intimately concerned. For all we
may know, they went to their graves
without having been able to live down
the prejudice against them in the COM
munity VIII re t ny lived, and stunned
by such of their descendants as had
been careful to employ preacher or
justice of the peace.

Hotelkeepers' Campaign Fund.

Capt. Gano Kelly, proprietor of the
Wellington Hotel, at Georgetown. mas
started hotelkeepers' fund for the
Democratic campaign. He has sent
his check for S. to the treasurer of the
Democratic National Committee, with
the hope that every other Democratic
hoteikeeper in the United States will
forward similar amount. Capt. Kelly
believes that if the papers of the
country will call attention to the pos
si5ilities in such a contribution from
every Democratic hotelkeeper in the
United States, an enormous sum can
be raised for disseminating Democrat
ic doctrines, and he is confident that
no hotelkeeper who is Democrat and
receives his patronage from his Demo-
cratic friends, would decline to give
modest sum of S..

Auditor James Refuses to APP
prove Warrants.

State Auditor Frank H. James has
refused TO approve the warrants neces-
sary for the State Treasurer to pay
over to the three educational institu
Lions of the State the $500, ZOO appro-
priated for them by the last session of
the general assembly and will not do
so until he has an opinion of the Attor-
ney General advising him to do so.
The question of the constitutionality
of the act as passed by the legislature
has been raised. and until he is sure
that all is right, the Auditor will not
turn over one cent to the State Nor
NAL Schools or the State University.
About $50. 600 of the appropriation is
due now. Auditor James doubts as
to the constitutionality of the law
arises under that part of the section of
the constitution which reads as fol-
lows:
''No sum shall be raised or collected
for education other than in common
schools until the question of taxation
is submitted to the legal voters and
the majority of the voters at the said
election shall be in favor of such taxa
tion."
He believes that before he can
legally pay over this money the ques-
ton of taxation should first be submit
ted to the people and that they shou d

 Judge Taft left at 7;O5 o'clock to- night for Cincinnati, O.. where he had been summoned on matters of family importance. The call to Judge Taft to come to Cincinnati necessitated hasty change of plans, so that instead of tho Judge returning to Hot Springs, Va. he left for his home.

 The day proved to be busy one for the President-elect. He spent the night at the White House, and break lasted this morning with his family. During the early forenoon. the Presi- dent and the President-elect discussed matters of importance to the present and incoming administrations.
 Politics was discussed at luncheon at which Secretary of State Root and Representative Longworth were also the Presidents guests

ALABAMA NEGROES
 SWINDLE CIVIL SERVICE

Washington. Nov. 15.--(special.)- Two Alabama negroes, Albert Davis and Arthur Williams, are wanted by, tho Federal authorities on complaint filed by the Civii Service Commission, Neither can be found and the belief is that they have left the State.
 Some time ago Albert Davis, of .Bir- mingham. iled charges of political ac- tivity incompetency, etc., against most of the prominent Federal oficeh olders in Alabama. They were investigated by the Commission and were not sus- tained.
 Davis shortly after this took a civil service examination for the railway mail service and passed successfully. It was discovered that he had been con- victed of larceny and he was dismissed from the service.
 At the succeeding examination for railway mail clerk held in Mobile, Ar thur Williams was certified to the Chief of the Railway Mail Clerks for appointment. His handwriting differed materially from that on his examina- 'tion papers and an investigation by the Commission revealed the fact that Da- wis had impersonated Williams and passed the examination for him.
 Both men were indicted but the ef- forts of the Department of Justice to locate them have proved futile.
