Much Money Saved State.


Pierre.-Thirty four thousand dol
lars is the amount which has been
saved to the state in the past 10
months through the position taken by
State Auditor Anderson and P. j..
Murphy, deputy in that department.
The department holds that it Is up to
it's membership to s%crutinize every
claim which is filed for payment, and
that it is not merely for them to is
sue a voucher on a claim which has
received the 20. K" of the head of
some institution or department of the
state. but that they should find wheth-
err the claim is a valid one before a
warrant Is issued. In taking this step
they changed to a large extent the
method Of doing business in that de-
partment, SO far as passing on claims
against the state is concerned. The
savings have been in the matter of re-
fusing to allow those which are made,
but which are not authorized by stat
ute, and by the correction of accounts
from the different institutions and
boards which have been sent in.
Many claims are made without specific
law providing for them, but on the
ground that "the state ought to pay
it." and all ST these are cut out. While
this policy has aroused the ire of !;
number of people, it is notable that
none of them have attempted to push
their claims in the courts after they
have beer turned down by the depart
ment.

The Soul at the Gates of Sleep.
A sad soul journeyed to the gates
of sleep.
Still tightly clasping cares of
weary day,
Each hand upon It's close-packed
burdens lay.
But he who must be the golden
gateway keep,
The angel warder of the land of
sleep.
In firmest tones, but kindly said
him Nay!
First must thou those great bur-
dens put away!
No one thus weighted can these
bounds o'er-leapl"
So thus shut out, he fingered much
dismayed;
But finding David'S songs, began
to read.
In that sweet singers Psalms he
cares forgot;
And all the sadness of his soul
allayed,
Without his knowledge from his
burdens freed,
He passed through gates of sleep
and knew it not.
