THE END OF DAY.

The homeward road, that old home
place,
The gate where | turned in;
The moonlight on the crumjled snow
Where summers flowers have been;
The creak of frost, the rusty hinge
And the closing of the gate;
The smell of supper on the air,
And freight from the CRATE;
The stamp of feet beside the door.
The latch appraised, and then
The sweet, warm kiss of Mary Ann,
And I've come home again.
Relief from all the city's roar,
Surcease of grief and sin
On the homeward roads, the old home
haunts,
The gates where we turn in.

GOVERNORS GATHER
At WASHINGTON
viii Discuss Problems of State
and National Interest.
GOV. WILSON is IN CHAIR
Declares Conference Best Plan for Sc
curing Needed Legislation With 2,
out Political Bias--Senator "
Dryden Speaks.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Goyernors
from so states of the union gathered
in the national capital to discuss prob.
lens of state and of national interest,
opened their three-day session.
Governor Wilson of Kentucky, chair.
man of the committee on arrange.
ments for the conference, was in the
chair In a brief Introductory speech
he referred to the first conference of
state heads, invited in May, 1908, by
President Roosevelt to meet in the
white house. This years conference
is on the governors own initiative.
Governor Wilson declared that in
his opinion no better means of devils;
ing improved and uniform state legis-
lation could have been found than for
the chief executives of the states to
come together as they have and in a
friendly way, with partisan feeling for
gotten, talk over together the ques-
tions in which they all were interest
ed ~
For Uniform Insurance Laws.
In urging the uniformity of state
laws regulating insurance companies
former United States Senator John F.
Dryden, president of the Prudential In
surance Company, declared that If the
states failed to codify their insurance
laws uniformly the. only alternative
would be the federal control of the
business. He said: ,..,... -,
THE immense amount of new leg
islation and the enactment of new
laws, annually or biennially. by the
different legislative bodies is naturally
the cause of much uncertainty as to
what the law which governs the bust
ness really is. 90. 80
During the nine years ending with
1908 some $4,000 new laws and reso-
buttons were enacted by the states, OF
which $4,000 were laws of public
character, more or less affecting bust
ness enterprise, including insurance.
There were enacted in this same time
1000 specific laws on insurance, aside
from those affecting corporations gen.
orally, or having reference to insur'
ana taxation and contracts.
Enormously Complicated.
",The whole subject is enormously
complicated by retaliatory laws which
have resulted in a condition properly
described as interstate warfare, un-
worthy of the civilization of the pres
ent day.
81 am firmly convinced that uni.
form code governing the essentials of
the law on the subject of insurance
can be framed, and the past expert
e1ce of every life insurance company
transacting business in the different
.tates makes it desirable and proper
that such a code should be prepared.

on the breakfast table, after jumping oul

put out poison for mice. A mouse ate

He did not eat quite enough to kill him,
but he was paralyzed for the time. In
the morning when the young woman was
awakened by the arrival of one OF her girl
friends she dressed hurriedly and did not
examine the "rat' closely before putting
on. While the family were at break

of the poison and jumped from the "raf'

in the excitement and every dish was
broken.

and in or near some shrubbery.
The sketch shows bath made OF three
stats about four and a half feet long, two
triangular pieces, one somewhat larger
than the other, and an ordinary soup
plate.
The triangular pieces have their points
sawed off to receive the Stats, which
themselves look better if tapered Slightly
toward the top.
The size OF the top triangular piece IS
governed by the size OF the dish, which
slips between the tops OF the Stats, aud IS
supported by its rim. Put it together
with screws, and paint-dish and ala

The Schools of China.

Never before in the history of public
education has there been so radical and
far-reaching revolution in any land as
that which the Chinese Empire is now
experiencing. We can hardly conceive
what it would mean in our own country
to have the school system which has pre-
vailed for generations suddenly wiped
out by national law, and replaced by a
wholly different system, requiring new
books and new methods. That is what
is happening in China.
Hitherto China has taught but little in
its schools except the elements OF educa-
tion and the sayings of Confucius. Now
the government is establishing compui-
sorry system of modern education, from
the kindergarten grade to the university.
The plan involves not only the one hun
dred million children of school age. There
are also to be night schools for public OF
ficials, and military schools for the army.
To meet the demands OF the change,
many books are being imported from
America and Europe, printed in Chinese
characters. AS several hundred million
books are needed, the demand is far be-
yond the supply, and the printing-press-
es at the mission stations and at the edu-
ucational centers are being worked as
never before. incidentally, the thrifty
Japanese are furnishing large part OF the
books and supplies, as well as many OF
the teachers.
BY meeting IFS educational problem in
such a splendid spirit ofprogressiveness,
China is also solving many of the other
problems which face it. In no other
country will the progress which is made
be more quickly recognized or more gen.
erously applauded than in America, for
this country has given China alarge share
of its educational impusa, and is in all
things disinterested friend OF that en-
pire.

Self preservation is the first law OF nature.
