Mrs. Arthur has scored another sue
cess in this competition, having been
awarded second prize for the fol-
lowing beautiful composition on the
allotted subject,
"When the Day Is Done
I gaze with tired eyes toward the
west,
The calm and quiet west that
seems to say
Peace, mother-heart, that knew no
time of rest
Through all the golden hours of
the day;
So many little socks there were 10
So many little garments rent and
torn
So many childish tears to kiss
| away"
But as I dream somehow | seem to
| see
| Some other mother dreaming
and alone
No drowsy head to lean upon he1
| knee
| No sleepy eyes to smile INTO he1
| own,
With idle hands forever free to rest
Gazing with tragic eyes toward the
west,
The same still west clear-Vlslonet
by my own.
Oh, rich am 1 beyond my just de
serts
Whose cares and duties stretcl
from sun to sun,
With little toddlers c1inglng to m
skirts
! And always other work to be De
gun;
Dear God, teach me each night t
face the west
Sending aloft, because I am so bles'
My hearts thanksgiving when tn
: day is done.

THE SENA TIE AGAINST FREE SUGAR.

The finance committee OF the
United States senate, to winch was
referred the Underwood bill passed
nv the lower house of congress re-
moving the duty on imported sugar,
decided by a. party vote OF eight TO
six to substitute the Lodge DILL
which eliminates the differential and
the Dutch standard, leaving the
rates Of duty otherwise undlstufped,
with the maximum at S1.91 per nun
dred on refined sugars. The eight
Republican members will sign THIS
report, while the six Democrats on
the committee viii present a minor
ity report, prepared by Senator Wi
ians Of Mississippi, providing 1ol
horizontal reduction Of one-tn1fd
or thirty-three and third per cent
in the existing rates.
1t is doubtful that either OF tnesf
reports will get through at TINS ses
sion, but in any event the fact j
clear that the senate has no idea 0
accepting the rulnous Undef"oo'
measure, which would scotch the III
out of the domestic sugar INDUSTRY
This attitude of the higher branel
Of congress lifts a load of anx1ee
from the minds of the people IN IN
