Hearts Desire.

God give you your hearts desire
Whatever il be- she said:
Ihen down the gallery's shining length
Like a thing of light she sped
Her face was a strangers face:
Her name l shall never know:
But softly her benediCtion fell
AS the night-winds breathing low.
Who knoweth the hearts desire?
Its innermost secret dream?
It's hottest shrine where the altar lights
Forever and ever CLEAN?
VINO suesseth the hearts desire?
An, neither your nor L.
II hideth away in darkling space
From the gaze of the passer-by.
Who giveth the hearts desire
To the child that cries for the moon
Or the samite robe and the Holy Grail
To the soul that was born too soon
Who giveth the hearts desire
To the lover whose love lies daado
or the priest who faces the silence
with the living word unsaid?
VINO giveth the hearts desire
10 the poet with harp unstrung
When he droppeth the trembling lyre
with his noblest song unsung?

the property i'm question comprised a
level piece of land south toward Elliot
street which was large enough ana i'm
every way suitable for a playground and
that ii could be reached either from
Green street or Elliot street and was cen
tr1lly located.
Or. IIolton gave at this point a little
history Of the Phelps property which was
acquired for school purposes when he was
a member of the school board. lie said
that Mr. Phelps asked 100000 which the
committee refused to pay. Mr.. Phelps
appointed a board Of arbitrntors and they
fixed the price at $500 Of which $50 was
for one share of water DR. IIoton stated
this as showing the difference between
the actual value Of property and the price
sometimes charged for It.
Mr. OsEood made a brief statement cor
roboratiug Judge Martins outline of the
position OF the committee. He thought
that the lot was a very desirable one and
he hoped the time would come when the
district could buy 1t and erect a substan-
tinl building there. He hoped that the
building would be designed so that It
could be enlarged in years to come, If
there was need. without taking away from
its architectural beauty 1t would be
possible to give up the High street pr-
mary school and possibly the Chase street
primary school If a large building was
erected there In response to a question
about the reduction In the districts in
debtedness Mr. Osgood stated that IL
years ago the debt was $4,000, but that
| since then it had been reduced $4,000, the
present debt being $4,000.

MEAT IS TOO
COSTLY FOR

EXorbitant Prices

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-Mrs Hetty
Green. who has many millions of dol
lars, declared today that at present
prices meat is too dear for her, and
she cut it out of her MONDAY order
Mrs. Green entered a modest up
town restaurant and scanned the bill
Of fare. Steak she found at so cents
portion and roast lamb and roast
beef at 35 cents. Mrs. Green took
halibut, which was 10 cents a portion.
Have you joined the boycott?"
asked the waiter.
NO" said Mrs. Green obviously,
but meat is too high. You don't get
your moneys worth. People really
can't afford to eat it. There are other
things just as good and cheaper"
price of beef in the Brooklyn whole
sale district declined 20 per cent to-
day and pork loins slumped sympa-
thetically. AS an offset there were
signs that the western supply will be
shut off to hold up the price, although
representatives of the packers deny
this Fewer carloads were received
today
Two young women who made
house to house canvass today for the
National Progressive Womans Suf-
frage union, obtained nearly 1000
pledges to abstain from meat for 60
days.

to many fiery resolutions, seem loath

BUTTER DROPS FOUR CENTS
Boycott Has Effect of Lowering This
Commodity in Elgin, III.

ELGIN, ILL.,, Jan. 24.-The price of
extra fancy creamery butter dropped
to 80 cents pourA on the Elgin board
of trade today.
The sudden drop from So cents, COM
ing in the midst of the agitation
against the high price Of food, caused
general comment. 1t was admitted by
the board members that the drop was
due largely to the agitation and to
a tendency in many localitiese to alb
stain from high priced foodstUffs.
Word has reachtd Elgin that some
localities had entered into a butter
boycott. Before the board met it was
generally believed a drop would be
necessary. When the quotation COM
mittee reported the 30-cent price it
was greeted with applause.

SUDBURY, Ont, Jan. 24.-The re-
covery of four bodies and the identi-
location of two women found yester-
day was the net result Of today's
work at the scene of Fridays wreck
at Spanish river.
The bodies recovered today were
those of Miss Mulroy, Cache Bay,

Joseph Kelley of Leavenworth, Wash,
and Florence Kelley 10-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Kelley.
Father Chailleau, a Roman Catholic
priest who was killed, had a letter
of introduction in his pocket addressed
to Father Currie, at Blind River, Ont.
This led to his being wrongly identi-
fed as Father Currie, who is safe
at home.
Statements by railroad officials early
in the day placed the list of known
dead at 81, but tonight their figures
were increased to 81. Apparently no
consideration is taken of the immi-
grants who were travelling in the
wrecked colonist car. The loss of
life in the colonist car can only be
estimated, as officials refuse to make
any statement. Ten is considered q
conservative estimate. Conductor
Reynolds had taken up 70 tickets on
the trip, and ~ holders of these, ac-
cording to the figures, were killed or
injured.
Among the dead is Henrik Hansen,

TOO MUCH STYLE
SAYS LEGISLATOR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-'Too much
style is responsible for the increased
cost OF living" said Representative P.
w. Cocks, of New York, friend and
neighbor of ex-President Roosevelt.
Thirty or 40 years ago we did not
eat less than we do now, as some .peo-
pie are trying to prove, but we put on
less style Style is all right for those
that want it. have no fault to find
with it at all, but / wish to remark
that it comes high and must be paid
for. This increase in style, dog show,
display, or whatever you want to call
it. extends from the top to the bottom
OF the scale of life.
Now as an illustration, / have a
Pole working for me on my place down
on Long Is and. He has several child
rem. The other day I met the crowd
of youngsters down on the place-on
a weekday too, mind you,-and every
last one of them was wearing patent
leather shoes. That workman of mine
has new $50 steel range in his kitch-
en- and a piano that he got on time
pavments OF course / am glad that
ne feels that he can afford oil these
things, but in the old days they were
not purchased by the people of limited
means. The children, instead of wear
ing patent feathers. went barefoot in
the summer and in the winter wore
heavy, serviceable cowhide shoes that
would last them years. Only the very
well to do thought they could have pi-
amos. and a SIS to $40 stove was good
enough for Almost anyone's kitchen.
when I was younger and had to
have things from the grocery store, L
went after my purchase. Now the
customer of the grocer or the butcher
or the baker insists on having his
pound of butter, his mutton chops, or
his loaf of bread delivered at his door.
The dealer much charge for his horse,
his wagon, his harness, and his dellv"
arvman. Someone must pay the bill,
and of course it comes out OF the
goods-the customer that gets the
bapefits of the extra service is the one
that should stand for it. and he does
whether he likes it or not.

PRICES RAISED $50 PER CENT
Colorado Federation of Labor Com
piles Some Startling Figures.

DENVER, Jan. 24.-Figures COM
piled by officers of the Colorado State
Federation of Labor show that the
price of foodstuffs has increased from
one to $50 per cent during the last
few years.
Denver, ElPaso, Pueblo and Mont
rose counties were picked for the most
elaborate compilations and out Of So
articles on which figures were obtain
ed only seven showed a decrease in
price. These were flour, molasses, po-
tatoes, mackrel, oatmeal, prunes and
nut coal.
Even these articles do not show a
decrease in all of the counties. In
Denver county, for instance, syrup
shows an increase of 92 per cent;
smoked beef, Sc per cent; breast of

"The cost of milk has climbed stead

the people insist on more style in the
manner in which it is brought to
them. l am a practical dairyman and
I know what 1 am talking about. In
the old days there were no bottles, no
pretty wagons. no tuberculin tests to
be paid for. The milk was delivered
from door to door by the man or Wo-
man carrying the product in large
cans or buckets. Now the milkman
has $500 horse, $3.50 or $500 wagon,
a SIS set of harness on the horse, and
stables and aseptic cans, sterilized bot
ties, pasteurizinz apparatus in his stor-
age house, and goodness knows what

Every bottle that is broken, every

customer must pay the bill.

found all over the country The far
mer has got to have the latest and
prettiest labor saving devices. Their
rubbertired runabouts must be equip
ped with the last p-to-the-minute
trimmings, and pretty soon the $4O0

barn in order to make room for the
$1,000 automobile roadster or the So
