THE TAPESTRY wEAvERs-
Let us learn a New Years lesson
No drawer lesson can be-
From the ways OF the tapestry weayers,
On the other side OF the sea.
Above their heads the pattern hangs,
They study II with care;
And as to and fro the shuttle leaps,
Their eyes are fastened there.
They tell this curious thing, besides,
OF the patient, plodding weaver:
He works on the wrong side evermore,
But WORKS for the right side ever.
1t is only when the weaving stops
And the web is ioosed and turned.
Tha, he sees his real kandiwork
That his marvellous skin is learned.
An. the sight of its delicate beauty
1t pays him for all its cost;
No rarer, daintier work than his
Was ever done by the frost.
Then the master bringeth him golden hire,
And giveth him praise, as well;
And how happy the heart of the weaver,
No tongue but his can tell.
The years of man are the hours of God,
Let down from the place of the sun.
Wherein we are ever weaving.
Till the mystic web is done.
Weaving blindly, but weaving surely,
Each for himself his fate;
We cannot see how the right side looks
We can only weave and wait.
But. looking above for the pattern,
No weaver hath need to fear;

The statement by Senator Conger, who accuses Senator Aids of receiving money to kill pro- posed legislation, that there was a payment to the state chairman of the Republican organization" in 1902, to- eether with the statement of Cover nor Hughes made in New York in re- gard to the matter, helped in arous- ing popular interest. Speaking in New York, Governor Hughes, who as counsel for the Armstrong committee conducted the insurance investiga- ton, said: "This is not time to re- tire in dismay from any disclosures The party can stand anything except being untrue to itself and allying it. self with the evil that may be in it.

YALE SWAMPS HARVARD
 IN NEW CARNEGIE TANK.

New Haven, Feb. 17.-Yale fairly swamped Harvard last night in the first dual swimming meet held here between the old rivals. Yale won the swimming events by score of A to points, and the water polo game by an equally onesided score. Harvard failed to capture a single first place in swimming.
 One intercollegiate swimming event was broken when Robert Fresnal Loree, of New York City, Vale, 1912, son of the president of the Baltimore 6 Ohio Railroad, scored 72 feet 3 inches in the plunge Tor distance. An other was equalleo by w. M. Howe, of Yale, when he won the 50-yard dash in 26 2-5 seconds.
 The meet formally dedicated the new Yale swimming pool, which cost $70.00O. About $50,000 was given by Andrew Carnegie. The remainder was raised by Ogden Mills Reid, of New York City, Yale, 1905.

BAN JOHNSON GETS
 $25,OOO A YEAR NOW
American League Elects The. Old Scout For Twenty Years An Agreement For a Score of Years Drawn Up<

Chicago. Feb. 17.-Byron Bancroft Johnson was reelected president. sec retary and treasurer of the American League for twenty years at salary said to be s25,000 a year at the clos ing session of the annual scheduled meeting yesterday
 The agreement under which the league has existed since November, 1900. was renewed for a period of twenty years. In the new agreement or holder of stock in any club to hold shares in any other club in the league except as an emergency measure .'' This will prevent any so-called syndi- cate baseball. All the other articles of the agreement were retained in the new one
 A schedule of 154 games. opening on April IA and closing on Oct. g, was unanimously adopted. It was an- nounced that the dates selected would be retained whether the National League plays 154 or 16S games.
 While no official statement was made that MT. Johnson's salary had been increased from $15000 to $25.O00 it was said on good authority that such was the case. MT. Johnson refused to talk of the reported salary increase, but smilingly said that it was a per- SOnal matter.
 This is the longest tender of office to which any baseball president was ever elected. It was made co-exist- ent with the length of the new agree ment, twenty years.
 The adoption of a twenty-year agree ment was said to be in the nature of a compromise. Some of the club owners favored the renewal for ten years. willie others spoke for a perpet- ual agreement such as now exists in the National Lea que.
 The article added to the agreement forbidding syndicate baseball reads as follows:
 Syndicate baseball is prohibited, except as an emergency measure, and then only with the consent of the leagues president and directors shall a stockholder in one club own or con- trol stock in another club in the Amer ican League, under penalty of being voted and dealt with as an undesir- able associate and barred from all connection with the league''

 1t was a common penny postage sta mp that brought Hobart, the great British ''iron king" to his ruin. At the time of the Whitworth period. when there was big crisis in the iron trade, he had agents in ali parts of the world who kept him posted. Sometimes they teiegraphed news to him in cipher. but those In Eugland were nearly ai- ways instructed to write. At that pc riod his principal agent. who was also his chief partner. was in Sheffield and wrote him from there warning nim to sell out all iron interests for the time on account of the Whitworth crisis.
 Hobart had frequent its of irritabfl- ity. and he had been receiving a tot of unstamped letters of no importance on which he bad to pay double postage. One morning in anger he gave orders that such letters were to be returned to the pOstnlan. The very first un- amped letter received after this was from his partner It was rejected as soon as it arrived.
