BILL IS PASSED

for travelling Expenses
PANAMA BONDS CUT DOWN
Senator Hale Says Congress Went
Into Panama Canal Business in
Blind Way and is Stumbling
Along the Way Now.

Washington, March 1.-The sundry civil
appropriation bill was passed by the Sem
ate just before adjournment today with
amendments carrying $4,000 for remodel
ling the White House office buildings, to
give additional room for the President
and $4,000 for travelling expenses for the
President.
On motion of Mr. Foraker an amend
ment appropriating $4,000 to pay the
Roman Catholic church in Porto Rico
for property in Porto Rico was adopted.
The authorization for the issuance of
$50 900 of Panama canal bonds in ad-
dition to former authorizations was
stricken from the bill on protest of Sem
ator Clay, who criticised the excessive
cost of the canal.
Senator Hale offered no objection to
this course, saying:
I'VE went into this thing in a blind
way and we have stumbled along in it
ever since. The majority of the Senate
favored sea-level canal, but we were
drawn into an approval of the lock sys-
TEN. Only one thing is omnipresent in
this matter and that is the constant de-
mand for more money"
The U..., which was approved by the
committee on appropriations this morning
carries appropriations of about $139,000,000
and covers a wide variety of subjects

Jake grinned as the young lady ap-

/, contrasts of life were never more clear
ly illustrated than in the fact that the
very day when Secretary Taft was nom-
mated by the dominant political party
of the United States to fill the highest
office in the gift of the people, the silent
form of Col. A. 9. Wiley, his friend and

mountains of Virginia back to the heart
of the cotton country that he loved SO
well to find a resting place.
I'VE are such stuff
AS dreams are made on,
And our little life
Is rounded with a Sleep
He was genial and kindly and generous,
possessing in a larger degree than most
men possesses, these warm friendships
that are rooted in esteem's deep soil re-
sulting from slow and gradual culture
of kind intercourse necessary to bring
them to perfection.
One of these friends and neighbors,
upon the occasion OF his funeral, wrote
the following delicate verses in his MEM
ory:
Not because the nation needs him,
Not because the state will mourn,
Do l gather up the brightness
That his gracious smile has worn,
And now weave it into garlands
That no time can wilt or fade,
For the grave upon the hilltop
Where the sunshine meets the shade.
How his happy. friendly presence
Mingles with the sod today,
AS a shining shaft at sunset
Pierces into clouds of gray,
And l call from spaces endless
Where remembered kindness grows,
This one little song of tribute
Set about with friendships rose.
Not alone to kings and peasants
Did his cordial hand extend,
Everything that needed comfort
Felt the presence of this friend
Animals and trees and flowers,
F1ourished wheRe his eyes would stray,
And he counted years as empty
II no blessing went his way
Now he rests; and loud the bird song
Tells the cheer his voice told.
Soft clouds drift above the hilltop
As If they his words enrolled.
Life was sunshine; life was friendship,
This, and more. his bright heart shed,
And a smile meets us this morning,
That will live when time is dead
