GETTING ExPERIENCE.

You see an apple large and green.
Your appetite Is young and keen,
You double up across the fence
Ard so you get experience.
A mild-ey COW with coat of silk
Wrong sided you essay to milk.
She shocks you by her violence,
But so you gain experience.
It's durability to test.
You poke into a hornets nest
You find TIE pain is most intense.
Still you have gained experience.
You're Injured while your wound IL
raw
You Seek balm in course OF law.
And when you've figured the expense
You've gained large experience.
You see no reason you should miss
Your measure OF connubial bliss.
You marry. and you have immense.
Profound and sad experience.
So each experiment will give
You newer knowledge while YOU live
It's wonderful what little sense
One learns from such experience.

for the last Roosevelt term, taking in

Especial Correspondence of The August
Washington, April 3.-The approach
ing necessity of forcing wartime taxes
ON the people to offset the annual
$120,000,000 deficit in the national fl
nances is directing attention in a
striking manner to the extravaganza
of the last three republican admins
trations
Uncle Sans distressed treasury is
now considered by both parties to be
the biggest and most serious question
before the American people. Along
with the effects of the tariff it is GER
tain to be the absorbing issue in the
congressional elections of 1911. The
republican leaders are practically with
out material to meet charges of gross
wastefulness in the conducting of the
government machinery, and it may be
said without contradiction they have
a wholesome fear of the outcome of a
campaign involving such issues as they
must prepare to face.
Nearly on War Basis.
The government is spending more
money than in any period of its his
tory when not actually engaged in war
And under the estimates already ar
ranged for the Taft administration, the
money-spending campaign promises tc
reach higher mark than during the
Roosevelt administration, when the de
ficit was the largest ever faced by the
government
A reign of wastefulness started in
with the day Grover Cleveland turned
over the administration to his success
