If I had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
The words unkind would rouble my mind
That l said when you went away
l had been more careful, darling.
Nor given you needless pain:
But We veX our own with look and tone
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss of peace.
Yet it well might be that never for me
The pain of the heart should cease.
How many go forth in the morning
Who never come home at night.
And hearts are broken for harsh words
spoken
That sorrow c%an~ne'er set right.
We nave careful thought for the stranger
And smiles for the sometime great.
But oft for our own the bitter tone.
Though we love our own the best

To undo the work Of morn!

other old woman in the summer Of
1907. This time Mr.. Taft was the VIC

1t was at a rural railway station
ten minutes, and the secretary thought
he would 60 out on the depot platform
and stretch his legs. He had taken
about two turns when he was bounced
upon by an old lady, who grabbed him
by the arm and dragged him over to
b baggage room.

for" she began at the rate of a word
a second.
Thinking this might be the latest
way of proposing, Mr.. Taft tried to
murmur that he was already married
and had his wife on the train with him
when he was stopped short in front Of
a trunk. The trunk was as large as a
small house and filed to overhowing
with wearing apparel, some Of which
was boiling out Of the top.

Good Stories Told by Taft.
The Republican candidate for a Sec

secretary Of war and speaking at a din

certain peSsimistic senator as follows:
He is always awaiting the fall of
some unforeseen evil. He can never
see the bright side. He is as incor-
rigible a pessimist as old Elisha How
ard Of Zoar.
Il was born in Ohio. and in my boy
hood l saw Elisha now and then. His
farm was near Zoar. 1t was a large
and prosperous farm, but Elisha would
never have admitted such a thing. He
was always grumb!ing and groaning.
The corners Of his mouth continually
hung down.
Il remember once there came q ban
ner year for the Ohio farmers. The
wheat crop had never been so fine and
good, and prices had never been so
high. Elisha's wheat surpassed that
OF all others, and it was known that
he had marketed it skillfully. Never
theless when Il neighbor asked him
Ii day how he had made out with it
he Whined:
"'Well. l didn't get as much for it as

IN other sports to any extent. One day
while he was a senior his class and the
enemy, the juniors, were having a
tug Of war, and the lower class men
were pulling the others around the lot.
Taft's class spirit arose. He rushed
forward, wound the end Of the rope
about his ample person and cried:
Come on, you fellows! Now let the
whole darned Junior class get on the
other endy" He turned defeat into
victory.
Once, before the world had heard
about Mr.. Taft, he made a visit to the
home Of a favorite aunt in Iowa, who
knew not of his courtship of the muse.
When he had told his beloved relative
how all the folks were and answered
her 1O1 questions and dined with espe-

ROUND H BASES
By NJ. PRE-

In the opinion Of many John Nc
Graw. manager of the Giants, is Just
now plotting the greatest baseball ma
chine of modern times. There are 9TH
ers who claim the Cubs of former days
and the Athletics Of 1911 were better
clubs. Each Of them has good foun-
dalton for his claim. The Cubs had
Il wonderful defense rs we'll as a sub
stantial attack. The Athletics were
and. are Il we'll balanced club, assem-
bling in n team many Of the best
points in all great teams. But Nc
Graw has beyond doubt the fastest
club in diamond history. 1t is speed
that is winning for the Giants against
better hitting OF the part Of at least
one club and better fielding on the
part of several others. Speed is the
watchword of the age. and McGraw
mas put 1t into the makeup Of the
Giants as no other team ever had it.
1t must be said Of Hank O'Day that
he has not yet broken his vow made
early in the spring that he would not
bait umpires. Hank still shows that
spirit Of brotherly love. But his argu-
ment Is a good one. He says arguing
with umpires gets a manager nothing.
He prefers to remain back in the shad-
ows of the bench and depend on Il
square deal from the umpires. SO far
he has had very little reason to COM
plain, and it is certain that few Of his
Y have been under SuSnanSiOn

FINANCIAL TANGLE
BEING UNRAvELEO
At the Cost of Only Few Pub
lie Improvements for
the Coming Year.

Street improvements next year will
be very few in number and only such
as are absolutely necessary. The city
next year will pay $4,000 from the
general fund to the special street i'm
provement fund, created solely to pay
off street improvement bonds. This
sum has been taken from the special
street fund in the last twelve years.
The loose system of keeping these two
funds has brought about the existing
condition.
The board of works this morning di-
rected City Attorney Gardner to draw
Up an ordinance to provide for pay
ing back this sum next year. The i'm
provement work in the city will suf-
fer in consequence, for Mayor thinner
man says the "city will borrow no
money"
The special examiners will ex-
anime the books of the former treas
where the $4,000 went to. No charg-
es of graft are made, but the board
desires to know just how this money
was spent. A report from the special
accountants will not be made for sew
eral weeks yet. They have nearly fin
ished their work on the uptangling OF
the street improvement and general
funds, and the additional work of as
certaining how the money in the spe-
cial fund was used will take them sew.
eral weeks additional, it is believed.
Up until the beginning of the pres
ent administration it had been the
practice of the treasurer to place all
funds paid into the special street i'm
provement fund into the general fund
and to pay out these sums for any pur'
pose desired. Bonds for the improve
ments were sold, and the city thus
secured large amounts of money
Street improvements were recklessly
made, it was asserted this morning
the council at that period having sole
control over street improvements
Each councilman, anxious to secure
improvements for his ward, soon ran
the city deeply into debt. What has
become of this money is now the ques
ton $1,100 is annually being spent
by the city for interest on the bonds
issued. Next June, the city will call
in all these bonds, pay for them, and
start out again with a clean slate.
