Flush the galleries OF the west.

Fits and chirps like winged bard.

With the birds and clouds above him,
With the sunshine--and with met

Doth he hapIy know in partf
Swaps the tree in mystic concord
With the planets rhythmic roll,
Vaguely conscious of it's oneness
With the Universal Soul.

That the squirrel and the tree
Dimly feel the law that links us,
Makes them one with you and me!

Cash From General Fund.

Pierre.-The credit of the state has
been seriously injured by the accre-
ton OF a large amount in capitol
building fund warrants for the pay
ment of which there were no funds
in the state treasury. The l~eeisla.
ture Of 1911 appropriated $4,000 for
1871 and for 1912 for the parking and
improving of the grounds and provided
that in case no money came into the
capitol fund the warrants might be
paid out OF the general fund. which
was 10 be r%eplenished from the CAPT.
tol fund as SOC as money was paid
in. Attorney General Johnson has in.
terpreted this law to mean that all
building fund warrants may be paid
out of the general fund. This will
mean that a large amount of these
warrants, which have been selling be
low par because OF the difficulty in
cashing them. will be brought up to par
and the credit OF the state once more
placed Oh a firm basis.
