~-ne Boy q d .he chllo jesus

~she Boy ar d the Child Jesus"
Among greer plea ant meadows, all in
grove so mild,
Was set marble image Of the Virgin
and the Child;
There oft, on Summer evenings, a
lovely boy would rove,
Ts IIay beside the image that sancti-
fled the grove,
Oft sat his mother by him, among the
shadows dim,
And told how the Lord Jesus was once
chilli like him;
And now from, highest Heaven He
doth lock down each day,
"And sees whaler thou doest, and
hears what thou dost say
Thus spakc his tender m ether; and on
an evening bright,
When the red, round su n descended
mid clouds Of crlms on light,
Again the boy was playing; and ear
nestly said be,
sob, beautiful Lord jesus, come down
and play with me.
81 will find Thee flow srs the fairest,
and play with me,
:l'1 will get Thee ripe, red strawberries
if Thou wilt but come down.
.oh, Holy, Holy Mother, put Hi m
dowr from off thy knee,
"For in these silent meadows there
are none to play with me"
Thus spake the boy so lovely; the
while his mother heard;
But on his prayer she pondered, and
spake to him no word.
That self-same night she dreamed
lovely dream of joy;
She thought she saw young Jesus,
there playing with the boy.
s'And for the fruits and flowers which
thou hast brought to me,
erich blessing shall be given thous-
and fold to thee;
"For in the fields of Heaven thou
s. alt roam with Me at will,
Sand of bright fruits celestial shall
have, dear child, thy ILL.,"
thus tenderly and kindly the fair
child Jesus spoke;
And full of careful musings the anx-
Gus mother woke.
And thus it was accomplished in a
short month and day,
That lovely boy SO gentle, upon his
death-bed lay.
And thus he spoke in dying: % moth
er, dear, see
The beautiful child Jesus a-eoming
down to me;
And in his hand He beareth bright
flowers as white as snow,
And red and juicy strawberries; dear

A Massachusetts manufacture OF
brushes recently made discovery In
Maine which supplied him with mater
ial exactly suited to his purpose. He
went to the Pine Tree State to hny
wood for the backs OF hair brushes
and the handles of shaving brushes.
and CHANGED to visit the yards of a
spool maker. who was using white
bircn. The spool man took the white
part of the wood only. and was throw.
Ing away the red hearts. Thousands
of cords had been burned or dumped
into the lake to be rid OF It,
The red hearts were exactly what
the brush maker wanted. and ut little
more than the expense OF freight he
supplied his factory.
This is typical OF the trend OF m1n-
ufacturing. Waste of wood Is still
great, but 1t Is decreasing. What one
factory. cannot use. another turns te
profit. Formerly mills threw away
half. the torest-tops left in the woods,

This policy does not prevail now.

most determined attempt to educate
the people In the prevention of tnber-
culosis ever attempted In any State In
the Union. DIR. S. C. Emlcy. associate

sIty of Kansas. is in charge OF the
campaign. which will extend all over
tine Sunflower State. DIR. Emley will
spend n week In LeavenWorth. Topeka.
Wichita. PittsburE and other cities.
and day In each of the smaller
towns.
For several years DIR. Finley has
been making n special study out of
tuberculosis. and. at the last meeting
OF the board of regents of the unircr-
sity. he was granted n leave OF abb
sence for two years. In which time ne
Is to work with the State board OF
health to see what can be done In Kan

The regular plan for this crusade
was formulated by Er. S. ]. Crum-

DR.. Emley. attended the last meeting
of the National Congress for the Pre-

He recognizes that Mr.. Newell's abil-
tiles lie along the lines of engineer
ing rather than administration, and
it is that fact which inclines him to
the opinion that change should be
made. By appointing new director
he believes he can overcome those
unsatisfactory features of administra
tion which do not meet with his APP
proval.
Secretary Ballinger is not ready to
recommend a change at the present
time as he desires to get more de-
tailed Information before taking such
radical step. During the summer
the secretary will personally visit
several government irrigation prof.
ects. especially those that have given
rise to complaint and to trouble. He
will find out for himself on the
ground what has led to unsatisfac
tory conditions and who is to blame.

Impressions he now holds. he will.
recommend a change after his re-

The inclination of Secretary Bal
linger to urge change in the head
of the reclamation service is not due
to the activity of politicians who have
quarreled with Director Newell; it
is not due to the recommendation of
anyone. 1t is due to his own ex-
periences with the reclamation SER
vice since he became secretary of the
interior. AS a government machine

Mr.. Newell, that he has not worked
at cross purposes with Secretary Bal
linger. but rather at his direction.
Nevertheless. there is not that same
bond between the service and the
present secretary that was noted be
tween the service and Secretary Gar
field. Under Garfield the reclamation
service took the lead. and the secre-
tary approved now the secretary
takes the lead. and the service must
follow his directions. Even under
Secretary Hitchcock the reclamation
service had a much freer hand than
it has today. for Mr.. Hitchcock was
devoting his time to other matters.

irrigation. interfered but little with
Mr.. Newell's plans.
Clifford Pinchot, the head of the

relations with President Roosevelt,
was able to assist Mr.. Newell i'm the
old days. President Roosevelt was
an enthusiast over irrigation; he had
confidence in Mr.. Newell. and dou-
BILE confidence because of the fact
that Pinchot vouched for Newell 1t
was in a large degree due to this fact
that the reclamation service was an
almost independent bureau up to the
time the Taft administration opened.
But President Taft is not believ-
er in independent bureaus. He holds
each of his cabinet officers RESPONSE
BILE for the conduct of all bureaus in
their respective departments. Secre-
tary Ballinger is held responsible for
the conduct of the reclamation SER
vice. and. shouldering that RESPONSE
bility he viii naturally place that
service in the hands of some man in
whom he has every confidence 1t
is matter of fact that at the present
moment Secretary Ballinger lacks
confidence in Mr.. Newell-as an ad
ministrative officer
Opinions differ as to the qualifica-
tions of an administrative officer.
Heretofore a thorough and practical
knowledge of engineering was con
sidered the first requirement of the
head of the reclamation service. But.
from present indications, it would
seem that business and executive
ability, commingled with a practical
knowledge of the law. is regarded as
more important than capacity as an
engineer.

impression thus far gained by the
secretary of the interior may be bi
