Attorney General to Direct.

Mr.. Sherley-Of course, that would then
leave to the Attorney General and his
subordinates the power to determine the
scope of these agents?
Mr.. Enthusiastically; and If your Attor-
ney General Is not man who can be
trusted with that kind of q responsibility,
Mr.. Sherley-Having established your
bureau what if any, restrictions would
you put upon it's activities?
Mr.. Wlkie-It should be used exclusive
ly for offenses against the federal laws
under the direction Of the Attorney Cen
eral and his subordinate officers, like dis
trict attorney, just as our service Is now
conducted in the Treasury Department
under the direction Of the Secretary OF
the Treasury through his representative,
the chief of the secret service.
Mr.. Sherley-That would. frankly. be
then to create q bureau that would be re-
stricted only in the discretion of the At
torney General, the Department Of JUS
tice?
Mr.. Wilkie-He certainly should have
enough discretion to enable him to say II
in his opinion a law of the United States
had been violated and whether 1t was
worth investigating and should be inves-
discretion. Otherwise, why have the force
at all?
Mr. Sherley-Of course. you would not
want any bureau to be authorized to fol-
low the French system of preparing evil
dence that might be useful to the gov
ernment in a case OF crime in the future?
Mr.. Wilhelm my opinion no service of
that kind should be used for personal or
political purposes.

THE DALAI LAMA.

According to an ancient Tibetan or
Chinese prophecy, the thirteenth Dalai
Lama was to be the last to hold that
title. The incumbent is the thir-
teenth, and he has been wandering
in China and elsewhere outside of
Lhasa ever since 1904 The North
China Daily News says of him: "He
is the nominal ruler of Tibet, and his
adherents believe that successive rein
carnations viii inevitably produce
true Buddha in the course of time. On
the death of a Dalai Lama. his sue
cessor is chosen from three babes,
whose names are inscribed on golden
fish, which are placed in an urn of the
same metal, presented by the Emperor
of China, and then drawn by lot The
selected infant is believed to receive
the karma of his predecessor. 4 regent
is chosen for him from ore of the four
royal monasteries, and the Giving
Buddha' takes up his residence in the
Potala, where he is permitted to he
visited daily for few hours until 9
years of age by his mother, whose resi-
dence under the same roof would be
sacrlege.
''The regent usually sees to it that
his protege does not reach maturity.
The last four pontiffs have been rein
carnated at the ages of II, Is and Is
years, respectively, and the in
cumbent, who is 30 years of age, is said
to have survived because ne turned the
tables on his regent In his government
of the country the Lama is assisted by
four shapes, or ministers, while two
Chinese ambans, or residents, are
charged with the preservation of peace,
nominal supervision of the administra-
ton and the conduct of foreign affairs.
The regent. the ambans, the Abbess of
Yamdok (another reincarnation) and
the Dalai Lama are alone permitted to
use sedan chairs in Tibet.

the fact that he is credited with abso-
Lutte power over the future happiness
Of every Tibetan. The reverence en-
tertained for his person is almost in
credible. Any relic used by him will
command high price among the 4pil-
grims who flock to Lhasa annually, and
his influence extends to Manchuria,
Mongolia, Central Asia, Ladok. Nepal,
Bhotan, Sikkim. China and wherever
the yellow church predominates. Rare
ly or never seen by his followers, the
Lama is daily invoked by thousands,
whose prayer, 3Om. mani padme Hung, ,
is directly addressed to him as the

ELIJAH BROWN.

Elijah Brown, the cobbler, was enamor-
ed of the muse.
And all his time was given up to stan
zas and to shoes.
He seorned to live tuneless life, in
gloriously mute,
And nightly laid his last aside to labor
at his lutte;
For he had registered an oath that
lyrical renown
Should trumpet to the universe the
worthy name of Brown.
And, though his own weak pinions fail
ed to reach the heights of song,
His genius Matched a. brilliant scheme
to help his oath along;
And all his little youngsters, as they
numerously came,
He christened after poets in the PAN
theon of fame.
That their poetic prestige might i'm
press them, and inspire
A noble emulation to adopt the war
bling Tyre. 81

and Tasso Brown appeared,
And Milton Brown and Byron Brown

Longfellow Brown and SCHILLER Brown

And Wordsworth Brown and Goldsmith
Brown filled up the family slate.
And he believed his gifted boys, pre-
destined to renown, +g
In time would roll the bowlder from
the buried name of Brown
But still the epic is npsung, and still
that worthy name
Is missing from the pedestals upon the
hills of fame;
For Dante Brown s a peddler in the

And Byron Brown is pitching for the

Longfellow Brown, the lightweight, is
pugilist of note,
And Goldsmith Brown s deck hand on

In Wordsworth Brown Manhattan has

And Chiller Browns an artist in a

A rowing tar is Virgil Brown upon the
