CLAIMS VALUABLE PATENT.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-What promises to become a celebrated case in patent law was aired in the district supreme court today. when Commis sioner of Patents Moore was cited to appear and show cause why he should not be enjoined from striking from the patent office files Tungsten fila. ments for use in incandescent light. ing
 The complainant in the case is John G. Heany an inventor of York. Pa, who was acquitted here last fall on charge of conspiracy to defraud the government by alterations and destruction of patent office records.
 Heany claims to have invented the Tungsten filiaments and says invali- dation of his patents by Commission CT Moore would cost him a large amount of money. The commissioner had directed Heany. the Heany com pany and the Heany Lamp company to show cause why their application should not be stricken from the files. Heany claims that his acquittal in the criminal court showed that he had no connection with the alterations or fal- sification involved He contends that the commissioner of patents is with out authority to entertain the charges as some of them form the basis of the indictments under which he was tried and acquitted.

NIGHT. The seed pods rattle in the bree5e Above the brittle grasses. Der every hill. in every dale, The touch of Autumn passes The frost spreads low Its hoar9 chm Upon the zephyrs sleeping And starts the vagrant, waiting breeze Across the valleys sweeping.
 MORNING. The dead leaves drift along the road And nestle in the ditches: The blackbird. high upon q limb His lusty flock pitches. Athwart the melting maple tree The morning sunlight shimmcrs. While through the interstices deep The flaming sumac sinners.
 NOON. Tie frosted dahla strives to lift Her blackened head in giadness The aster droops his toGsled plume In most dejectcd sadness Tie grapevine. twining on the fence. Has lost i;s umbered juices The wine of ieafy life has ebbed Adown it's fibrous sluices.
 SUNSET. The sun. blood red. along the wood Casts shadows ever longer: The chill of evening rides the breeze That waNes ever stronger. Now sinks the disc behind the West And leaves the day a-waning When winds howl ficrcely through the

KING ALFONSO IS g.

MADRID, May 17.-All Spain made merry today in celebration of King Alfonso's twenty-third birthday. Mad rid was gayIy decorated with flags and bunting and the people of all classes took part in the popular fes- tivities.
 Probably no ruler in Europe enjoy more popularity among his subject than does King Alfonso. Even his marriage to an English princess, dis tasteful as it was to the Spanish aris- ucracy. did not mar his popularity with the masses. During the past few years the youthful ruler has paid repeated visits to all parts of the kingdom and has everywhere been received with enthusiasm In Mad rid, in Seville, and even in Barcelona, the mot-bed of anarchism, he has walked the streets unattended. He seems to have no fear of anarchists. and this light-heartedness has served to increase his popularity among his subjects

When Katie waits for me at night.
 The world is full of sweetness. And grooming breez~s in the trees
 Sing low of loves completeness, The air is heavy with the scent
 Of grape and balsam nodding. While homeward go the lowing cows By winding pathways, plodding When Katie waits for me at night, My heart is gay with giadness. The air is filled with dulcet sound,
 With not a note of sadness, Tie dew upon the giinting grass
 Is shedding diamond iuster. And l. with fervent soughs of bliss.
 My falling courage muster. When Katie waits for r,e ., night. I go with spirits flushing To meet the woman of my heart
 Beside the gateway. blushing. But when I see her wond'rous eyes
 dare not teii my story Nor trust my feet to tread the paths That lead away to glory. But sometime there shalf come a way To banish all my doubting And win from her whispered yes
 From off those red lips pouting An. sometime she will walt for me
 With shy. surrendered sweetness As waits woman for the man
 Who brings her life's completeness Then s~~'l tread the jewe3ed way
 Where myrtle banks are growing And all the world Is filled with love And fond affection glowing And every path shall lead to her.
 To love and home and glory. With only peace and sweet content
 When l have told my story.

Grandma Dixon sat for years
 In her rocking chair and knitted Knitted dainty shawis and scarfs.
 Fancy eapes and stocks that fitted. Grandma Dixon's creed was this,
 As she sat among her faces: 'T-ife is joyous if We wear
 Gladstone smiles upon our faces.'' She was poor apd lived alone
 In a tiny vine-thatchcd cottage, But sine used to smile and saS:
 Castles hold lot of pottaSe, Ii is not the house that makes
 Happiness for those within it. Don't you hear the liquid song
 Of that poor. imprisoned linnet? When our folks were sore and sad
 Cheering them was grandma's mission I have heard my mother say;
 shes a wonderful physician,'' And the only thing she did
 Was to help them count their blessings IL was better than weeks
 Sympathies or soft caressings. "Court your blessings Grandma said. Lay aside the thing that troubles; Just enumerate your bliss.
 Til you prick your worry bubbles. Call your joys up for review
 Then go out and start to borrow, March your army up the hill
 And obliterate your sorrow.'' Somehow. can ne'er forget
 How her creed would strangle sadness How :he very thoughts she breathed Used to start flood of gladness, When the road is dark and drear.
 I tarn into pathways sunny, Count my blessings OCT and OCT
 Til I'm happy. Amt that funnyf 'Til I'm happy as a thrush
 Flooding all the wood with singing; Til ray troubles flee away
 On the fragrant breezes winging; '1il my heart just wells and wells ls And at last. it bubbles over. - Like finkiing spring that croons Laughter eddies to the clover.

 One who was easily at the forefront Of the stars of the evening was Ralph Faulkner. who has been seen in com ic chalk sketches. Faulkner had a part which, if not well done. would have fallen wofully iat-that of Law yer Snapcash. for the defendant.

 Of the vaudeville numbers, the big gest hit was made by Carl Drake and J. T. Skinner in the song. Every body's Pickin' on Me" A clever clar- inet solo by some one whom the pro gram was not kind enough to intro duce was among the numbers most appreciated. Skinner's dancing pleas ed the audience to such an extent that they wanted more. but the dancer would not respond.
