Impatience,

IFHpdtieICc
Our life is spent in little things,
In little cares our hearts are drowned.
We move, with heavy-laden wings,
In the same narrow round.
We waste on wars and petty strife.
And Squander in thousand ways,
The fire that should have been the life
And power of after days
We toll to make an outward show.
And only now and then reveal
How far the under currents flow
OF all we think and feel.
Mining in caves of ancient lore
UnweaVing endless webs of thought,
We do what has been done of yore:
And So we come to naught.
The spirit longs for wider scope.
And room to let its fountains play
Ere it has lost it's love and hope,
Tanned down or torn away
wander by the cloister walls,
My fancy fretting to he free
AS. through the twilight. voices call
From mountain and from sea.
Forgive me if | feel oppressed
BY custom, lord of all and me,
My soul springs upward, seeking rest.
And cries for liberty,

A Made-to Order City.

NbOStOn 1rdnScTlpl.)
The new city of Gary, Ind, is one
made to order. and it naturally pos
sesses features that are Unique. AL
though called a Steel City, from the
character of it's industries. it is ac-
tually concrete city in it's general
constructive material Broadway. the
main street, more brilliantly lighted
than it's New York namesake. is paved
with concrete over it's hundred feet
of width and hree and 4 half miles
of length. The new union depot is
concrete from top to bottom. The
Steel Corporation has built already
several hundred concrete houses. and
the American Sheet 4 Tin Plate Com
pany, a subsidiary of the trust, is
now engaged on two hundred more.
Almost no wood will be used. Even
the floors and window frames are of
the common material. andthe houses
are rooted with concrete shngle.
They are made in steel molds of vary
ing types of architecture. containing
from four to twelve rooms and cost
ing from $4,000 to 1000. The American
Bridge Company. another subsidiary
concern, is building three hundred of
these houses at a cost of million
and a half. The harbor project. the
water tunnel and the sewer system
deal only with concrete. The water
tower is the highest concrete struc-
ture in the world. 1t is needless to
say that this material is controlled
by the great corporation which is
now enlarging its plant to a capacity
of a thousand barrels an hour. In the
growing scarcity and increasing cost
of lumber, all this furnishes an OBJ
ject lesson of economic value.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

The fun of being a crank seems to

Telling the truth doesn't shame the
devil as much as it astounds him.
You might as well think woman

concerned and action by the nation
because other states beside our own
are interested"
Doctor Charles F. Braddock, former
ly chief medical inspector for the roy
al Siamese government at Bangkok,
where he had had extensive expert
ence in fighting cholera, said, regard
ing the cholera menace: when we
control the food and water supply and
secure reasonable sanitary conditions,
wonderful results as to the prevention
are obtained"
There are wholesome and sensible
sentiments. coming from practical and
reliable sources. They should carry
lesson and an inspiration to officials
and law-making bodies who are not
too pig-headed to see the value of
good advice and timely hints. Doctor
Braddock has said that bubonic plague
is more to be feared than cholera, and
we all remember, who have read the
news dispatches in recent years, that
the most dangerous epidemics known
to the world have been from the bu-
bonic plague. 1t is a germ disease
capable of almost explosive epidemic.
History shows that this so-called
"black death" of London killed about
70, 900 people with incredible speed,
thousands dying in a single day; and
in Marseiles $1,000 died, and at Mos
COW 100000. In Bombay, there was an
outbreak of 10000 cases. of which 1884,,
900 died
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, at the
last session of Congress, introduced the
National Department of Health bill
one of whose functions was to be the
suppression of the plague and similar
menaces. Senator Owen says, "The
bubonic plague is now among the rats
ana ground squirrels of the. Pacific
coast. I1c w Ill IepOlI LIS Jill oSoiIl
next session, and fight for it's passage.
When the bubonic plague broke out
i'll San Francisco, in 1900, the city board
of health quarantined the Chinese dis
t1ict. Senator Owen claims that the
United States circuit judge, Influenced
by the commercial spirit of San Fran
cisco, declared the city quarantine il
legal Thus the plague which was then
admitted to be within the limits of
Frisco, not having been properly sup
pressed, he claims is now scattered
over the Pacific coast, at points thou
sand miles apart.
If conditions are as bad on the Pa
cific coast as pictured by Senator
owen, enormous sums of money will
be required to stamp out the disease,
which is now endemic and being
spread through the infection of rats
and ground squirrels. At any time, it
may be expected to break out in some
thickly congested center, with tragic
results. There has been much denial
OF the existence of bubonic plague in
San Francisco. but without doubt it
was there, and that commercialism
trlumpEed over the interests of public
health, because the agents of public
health had not the necessary back

London, Nov 4.-Despite the official denial that there has been any rev olutionary activity in Spain, it is known here the government is heavily reinforcing the garrisons at Barcelo- ma, Saragessa and Sabadell More over, the troops sent into these revo- lutionary centers are being drawn from portions of the army that are recognized as intensely loyal to All fonso and still uncorrupted by the Re publican agents.
 An additional 10000 loyal soldiers have been mobilized under arms in Madrid. The government announces that they were summoned to the cap- ital to participate in a monster memo rial to the victims of the battle of Melilla last year. However, no sug- gestion that such a memorial service was in contemplation had ever been made until rumors of a revolution reached the outside world, and it is believed here that the memorial" is merely a subterfuge to fill Madrid with troops without exciting the anger of the populace.
 In the meantime, a strike has been ordered all oyer Spain and the order is being generally obeyed. Thousands of workmen have laid down their tools and business is being greatly de- pressed.
