The parSon In his study slept
When DER his mind there softly crept
In pleasing dreams, the strange desire
To test his sermons in the fire,
And though the good man only
dreamed.
Yet very real the vision seemed
The strange desire-exceeding strange.
The dreamer on his purpose bent,
To try the strange experiment.
From all his sermons. old and new,
AT random took a sample few.
And gave them to the flames: when 10.
" TITS strange he said. they seem
so dry"
The sermon next put to the test,
Was what was called his very best.
1t winged its flight with soaring
phrase
Into the realms of learned hxxc;---
Like Noah's dove in sorry plight.
That sought in vain where to aiight,
So went the sermon round and round.
Nor even once touched solid ground.
With spasmodic puffs and flashes.
SO the sermon went to ashes.
. It's strange" he said, 1T seems like
gag"
Another seemed the estimate
OF sinful man In low estate,
Tainted with Sin by sinful birth.
A rebel of revoked earth:
1t measured him by rule and scale
Exposing ev'ry fault and all:
No good could do. nor even think:
His sliding feet on ruins brink;
His being twisted SO swry,
Meier fit to live. nor fit to DIE
The sermon famed with borrowed
hue.
But to the dreamer 1t seemed true.
IT'S strange" he said, the flame
seems blue"
The sermons By the paraoa preached,
And then anal lot was reached
And flung aside. They told. forsooth,
In simple phrase. the simple truth.
Now TO define simplicity
Would beggar speech to poverty:
As well. with painted leaves. propose
To counterfeit the fragrant rose.
Suffice to say, the truth was said.
And needy souls were comforted.
IT'S strange" he said, "the flames
aspire.
AS from some holy altar fire
And the sweet doors they distil,
With fragrance seem the place to MI;
It's strange--it seems like franklin
cense,"

 After luncheon at the American em- bassy, Colonel Roosevelt called upon President Fallieres and Foreign Min tster Pfchon, who immediately after wards paid return visits to the en- bassy.

CONGRESS THURSDAY.
Would Take from the Speaker the
 Power to Choose All Committees.

Washington, April 21.-Representa- tive Fowler of New Jersey introduced a resolution in the house today design ed to take away from the speaker the power to choose all committees For a time everybody thought the recent in surrection against Mfr. Cannon was to be renewed. and the excitement con- tinued until MT. Fowler announced that he did not intend to press the resolution until May 2. It was sent to the new comgEittec on rules.
 Representative Russell of Texas, the only democrat thus far to announce his intention to vote for the pending rail- road bill. made long speech in favor of it.
 The senate discussed Senator Lodges resouution to appropriate $65, 1000 addi- tional to extend the senate inquiry into the cost of living, but no action was taken upon it. The debate was chiefly political.
 The traffdc agreement provision of the railroad bill was under f1icussion in the senate nearly all day.
 The house held a night session to afford opportunity for speeches on the railroad bill
