how distinguished officials at Washington

To see Secretary Daniels sit at his desk,

of one who for years was accustomed to

not a word of conversation is missed. His

The Gold Seekers.

i saw these dreamers of dreams go by.
j trod in their footsteps a space:
.ach marched with his eyes on the Sky.
Each passed with a light on his face.
They came from the hopeless and sad,
They faced the future and gold:
Some the tooth of wants wolf had made
mad,
And some at the forge had grown old.
Behind them these serfs OF the tool
The rags OF their service had flung:
No longer of fortune the fool.
This word from each bearded lin rung.
Once more I'm a man, 1 am free!
No man is my master, l say:
Tomorrow fail. It may be-
NO matter, I'm freeman today"
They go to a toll tina is sure.
To despair and hunger and cold:
lheir sickness no warning can cure.
They are mad with q longing for gold.
The light will fade from zach eve.
The smile from each face:
They Will curse the impossible sky.
And the earth where the snow torrents
race.
Some will sink by the way and be laid
In the frost of the desolate earth:
And some Will return to q. maid.
Empty OF hand - at birth.
But this out Of all will remain.
They have lived and have tossed:

Tnough the bold of the dice II beeD
