SHOULD NOT USE LIMESTONE.

Those members of the Kansas G. A
r. organization who are contending for
the use of either granite or marble in
stead of limestone in the construction
of the Memorial Hall to be erected for
their convenience as well as for the
housing of some of the important de-
partments of state, would appear to be
in the right. 1t will take a further ap-
preparation on the part of the legis-
latUre to make possible this change in
the plans for the building because the
present appropriation is only sufficient
to provide for q structure of limestone
And to wait for such an appropriation
would likely cause considerable delay
in the completion Of the building.
1t would be far better it would seem,
to have to submit to this delay, and
much cheaper in the long run for the
state to use granite or marble for this
building in preference to limestone.
For purely sentimental reasons it might
be nice to build this Memorial Hall
with stone native to Kansas. For the
other excellent reason that it is gen.
orally well for public commissions hav-
ing charge of such work to keep within
the appropriations allotted it might

will keep the cost of the structure
within the appropriation. But it is
actually a short-sighted policy for a
state to make an appropriation for Il
building that will only permit the use
of a stone which will not stand the
wear and tear of time.
In that category, unfortunately, is
Kansas limestone. One does not have
to go any further than the state house
to find confirmatory evidence that this
is so. The east wing of the capitol,
which was built of native limestone, is
rapidly crumbling away. 1t is only d
matter of time when the state legis-
lature will have to make an appro-
priation to rebuild this wing of the
state house. And it would appear to be
a poor business policy for the state TO
rush ahead and put q considerable sum
of money in new and magnificent
building, such as the Memorial Hall is
going to be, with the almost certain
knowledge that the stone to be used in
it will be no more durable than that
which has been put in the state house.
This is especially true when just lit
tie more money, a matter of a few
thousand dollars, would make possible
the use of a stone or marble that is
certain to last for ages.

TO bark back to the days when the
horse-car lines handled all the bust
ness on Broadway. The times change,
and we certainly have changed with
the times. Besides, the meat that the
American people are eating today is,
in point of cleanliness, healthfulness
and food fitness, as far ahead of what
we used to get in those good old days
as the latest transatlantic liner is
ahead of the old side-wheel boats of
forty years ago.
when the meat production of the
country catches up with the demands
of the meat-eaters the price will nat
urally fall. A decade from now, when
all this new land that is being placed
under cultivation is doing its share to
meet the matter the natural rise in
numbers of livestock may cause a
surplus. But it is a debatable question
whether the gap in the race between
consumption and supply is going to
be narrowed very materially for a
good many years."

A RIVER.

A glimpse Of the river--it glirnmers
through the stems OF the beeches;
through the screen of the willows 1t
Shimmers
In low winding reaches:
fioWing so softly that scarcely
It seems to be flowing,
But the reeds of the low, little islands
Are bent to its going.
And soft as the breath of a sleeper
Its hearing and signing,
In the coveS where the fleets of the lilies
AT anchor are lying.
It looks as If fallen asleep
In the lap OF the meadows. and smiling
Like child in the grass, dreaming deep
Or the flowers and their golden be-
quilting.
A glimpse Of the river-it glooms
Underneath the black arches.
Across 1t the black shadow looms,
And the eager crowd marches,
Wnere, washing the feet of the city,
Strong and swift it is flowing;
On It's bosom the ships of the nations
Are coming and going.
Heavy laden, It labors and spends
In a great strain of duty
The power that was gathered and nursed
In the calm and the beauty
Like thee, oh, my river, like thee,
May our lives in beginning and ending,
Fair in their gathering be
And great in the time of their spending.
Charlotte Becker, in the New York Sun.

Impressive Faith.

A lovely and virtuous lady of Tren-.
ton, n. j.. has started out optimi 5tic-
ally to make everybody good, unSelfish,
law abiding and wholly admirable. If
necessary, she is prepared to do so by
force. Everybody must be good, what
ever their private desires, capabilities
or qualities may be-
The lady is the president of Cupid's
Wing club, the main purpose of which
is "to marry all the bachelors and
maids in Trenton and to stamp out
gossip and divorce from New Jersey"
The mem berS of this club believe that
only in marriage can people be good
and normal. and that therefore all
people should be married. by law and
by force if necessary. If they do not
marry they are disrega riding the laws
of nature, and are bringing down dis
aster upon the heads of themselves
and others. Marriage, therefore,
should be made necessary by law, and
before certain age-30 for men and
25 for women.
The president of the club thinks
that, as a rule, persons should be al
lowed to select their life partners, but
committee should be appointed. for
some benighted individuals insist on
marrying unwisely.
There is no manner of doubt but
that this lady and the members of
her club would welcome an absolute
monarchy, provided it were only
benevolent. In their zeal to foster
human virtue they are ready to give
up human liberty. But it is likely that
the president and members of the
Cupid's Wing club have failed to con-
slider some things belonging to the
sphere of psychology. What, it may
be asked, would be the effect on the
imagination of knowing that one must
marry? Would it not take away from
the romance which now is germane to
the affairs of Cupid? 1t would tend to
remove uncertainty, chance and mys-
terry, those potent. elements in the
stirring of the amorous fancy.
No possibility of divorce-also in
tended by this club-would work in
the same way as compulsory marriage.
No divorce and forced marriage both
tend to remove romance from the
world. If two persons felt they were
living together because they must, and
not because they wished, where is the
romance, thestimulus to the imagina-
ton, the happiness? How does that
touch the secret springs of the tenn
permanent and lend color and vitality to
our lives?
We fear that the Cupid's Wing club,
just as benevolent monarchy. is too
good, really too absolutely regular and
virtuous for our best interests, our best
development, and our vigorous WELL
being-New York Press
