The ordinary run of American
poesy is steadily improving, and at a
rate quite reasonable in the long his
tory of literature, where a thousand
stanzas are as a single line in the sight
of the muse. Take a hundred maya
zines dated within the decade. ex-
claims the New York Post, pick their
best ten poems, and you will see how
lucky the singers of our old sub
colonial school were to be born early.
But the tide has run strongest along
the coast OF Bohemia; in our colleges
1t has long seemed to be ebbing. Not
even that noble immaturity which
often appears in undergraduate prose
has made itself felt in much under
graduate verse. Football, bere, fresh
men and eccentric professors are the
stock themes of 90 per cent. of such
illusions, while the remaining five per
cent are college widows or bur
lesquers on Horace.

7 LEGISLATION by congress has in
Il creased almost incredibly during
the last decade. Thousands of meas
aures are introduced at every session,
but the number enacted into laws or
dinarily is comparatively insignificant.
The development of the country's re-
sources and the increased demands of
the people are indicated, however. by
the immense increase in the number of
laws passed.
This increase" said Col. w M Pal

To Answer Indictments Charging Him
With Fraud.
Tulsa, Okla.-Governor Charles N.
Haskell, when called before the fed
eral court yesterday to answer to fed
eral indictments charging him with
fraud in connection with Muskogee
town lot acses, made a hard fight
against the case coming to trial.
Judge Marshall of Utah, who is pre-
siding, heard extended arguments by
both sides in the matter of Haskell's
demurrer, and likely will render a de-
cision today.
Governor Haskells attorneys began
their fight by asking that the indict-
ments be quashed, charging Special
Attorney General Rush with miscon-
duct in conducting the grand jury in
quiry which resulted in the indict-
ments 1t also was charged that the
grand jury had been illegally drawn;
that a stenographer had been present
during the inquiry and that incom-
petent testimony had been the basis
of the indictments.
These allegations were vigorously
denied by the government counsel.
A great crowd attended the opening
of the trial People came from all
parts of the state to see the unusual
spectacle of governor on trial for
alleged fraud.

THE White House tennis court is

THE White House tennis court is
doomed.
President Taft, who does not care
anything about tennis anyhow, has
told the men who are to add to the
executive building that he will not
stand for a tWo-story structure, but
that if more room is needed in the
building it can be spread out to the
south. To the south is the famous
spot where Mr.. Roosevelt battIed with
his tennis cabinet
The architect who designed the Of
fee building, Mr.. McKim Of New York,
made it as inconspicuous as possible,
that it might not interfere with the
White House proper. Congress, how.
ever, added $4,000 to the cost of the
office building that its foundations and
walls might be made strong enough
to bear the weight of another story,
or several of them if necessary, in the
future. Now the congress has appro-
priated 10000 to add to the capacity
of the executive Offices.
Mr. Taft, remembering the points
made by architects in the past, al
though not of an esthetic nature him
self, has sacrificed the tennis court
and ordered an extension on the
ground floor.

To Save Our Eyes.


There is a Biblical Injunction
against hiding our light under
bushel." Yet it is probable that in
short time nearly everyone who has
gas or electricity for lighting will be
literally covering the source of light
with a metal shade that looks very
much like a small bushel measure.
For several years, lighting experts and
more particularly specialists in eye
troubles have decried the evil effects
upon the eye of the direct rays from
our modern brilliant light sources.
This has been made more evident by
the introduction and general use Of
the new high candle-power metallic
filament ineandescent lamps. There
have, therefore, been many attempts
to devise a method of interior illumina-
ton by which the rays are reflected
once at least before reaching the eye.
There is a considerable number of in
stallations in which this indirect IL
Elimination" is applied in different
ways, the most successful heretofore
being that in which the light is hidden
behind brackets around the edge of the
room and reflected towards the cell
ing. 1t has been very limited in appli-
cation owing to the loss, or absorption
of light by the rejecting surfaces, ex-
plains the Technical World Magazine,
but where the expense is not consid-
cred, very pleasing results were pro-
duced. Recent developments have
been made that probably mark an
epoch in interior lighting and will
make indirect illumination very gen.
eral system. In order to make this
method commercially available, that is,
bring it within the reach of the man of
ordinary means, two things were nee
essary.

LIVES OF PATIENTS !MPERlLED.

Woodward, Okla.-Six hundred
helpless insane persons were in great
danger of death Sunday afternoon
when fire destroyed several buildings
of the state insane asylum at Fort
Supply.
The fire broke out in the laundry
building shortly after the noon meal
was served and the inmates had been
returned to their quarters. The asy-
lum fire department was ordered out
and every effort made to conceal
from the inmates the fact that the
building was burning.
One woman looking out of win
dow. however, saw the fire, and ex-
citedIy gave the alarm. The attend
ants rushed among their charges and
tried frantically to pacify them, but
a great panic was narrowly averted.
The blaze started from prairie
fire and a high wind made it seem
for a time that the whole institution
was doomed.
The buildings destroyed we're the
stables, laundry, pharmacy and EN-
ployes' quarters. The loss is esti
mated at $4,000.
