MAY is BUILDING HER HoTJsE

MAY is BUILDING HER HOUSE.
May is building her house With apple
blooms
She is roofing over the glimmering rooms;
or the oak and the beech hath she builded
its beams,
And. spinning all day at her secret
looms
With arras of leaves each wind-swayed
wall
She pictureth over, and peopleth it all
With echoes and dreams,
And singing of streams.
May is building her house. OF petal and
blade,
OF the roots of the oak is the flooring
With a carpet of MOSES and lchen and
Each small miracle over and over,
And tender, travelling green things
strayed.
Her windows. the morning and evening
star,
And her rustling doorways, ever ajar
With the coming and going
OF fair things blowing,
The thresholds of the four winds are.
May is building her house. From the
dust of things
She is making the songs and the flowers
and the wings;
From October's tossed and trodden gold
She Is making the young year out of the
old;
Yea out of winters flying sleet
She is making all the summer sweet,
And the brown leaves spurned of No
vembers feet
She is changing back again to springs.

MONEY ON STRIKE.

The money bags in the east have
struck. They are demanding higher
rates of interest and refuse to work
without increased pay. New York city
has been compelled to pay Az per cent
on it's recent bond issue and Henry
Clews says:
s"There have been numerous failures
of municipal bond sales outside of New
York during April and May, which show
that a check must be imposed upon
the extravaganza of our great cities.
New York is by no means free of critic
ism on this point, and while the credit
of the city is beyond question and the
danger point not even in sight, 1t is
evident that the capacity for the 40
sorption of new issues has about reach
ed it's limit. Such conditions call for
continued caution. They show a ire
mendous pressure for new capital,
which unfortunately is only to be OBJ
tanned at exorbitant rates. 1t may be
that the rise in the latter is partly due
to the general rise in commodities or the
increased cost of living, and partly due
to the prevailing uneasiness. But al
lowing for these factors, high money is
chiefly due to the approaching exhaus-
ton of the supply of capital, and it is
evident that we are in for period of
high interest rates. 1t is true that
capital is still to be had when the rate
is excessive, but that fact alone is
warning in itself"
The money squeeze appears to be
confined to the east. No complaint has
been heard in this part of the country
and it is unlikely that any will be.

Inject Ether Into Veins.

The new ether Injection method of
anaesthetizing patients in surgical op-
erations was demonstrated one night
recently before the Philadelphia Coun-
ty Medical society in the E1kin clinic
amphitheater at the Hahnemann hos
pital.
DIR. j. w. Hassler and DR.. J. W. Ho-
man of New York. demonstrated the
new method. Three operations were
performed by DIR. William B. Van Len
nep, chief of the Hahnemann surgical
staff. with DR.. IS. A. Van Lennep as
sisting.
Two were minor operations and one
was a major abdominal operation. In
all cases the subjects were put to sleep
with the ether injection instantly. With
the old respiratory method narcosis
takes from hyesto fifteen minutes.
Before the operation DR.. Honan
gave a lecture on the new method. A
per cent salt solution Of ether and
hedinol, or ether and paraldehy1e is
injected into the vein of the patients
arm.
All the operations were attended
with the greatest success None of the
after effects was noticeable in any of
the three cases. More than fifty physi-
clans and surgeons, together with 100
students, were present at the clinic

A hog VINO Went Astrav.

Nine wolf cubs captured by an old
trapper peculiarly marked with white
front feet were presented to Auditor
Criswell, of Mills county. for bounty
several da-s ago.
The cubs had been taken from hole
in the West Oak hills. A farmer living
in the West Oak hills heard of the Pc
culiar markings and was so interested
that he made a trip to the county seat
to see them. This was his story:
Early last winter Shep, a dog of no
particular breed. night guard of the
farm, discovered a wolf that had
sneaked in from a brush thicket, stalk
ing a hen. The wolf was driven off,
but the dog was not able to catch the
animal.
For several months the wolf returned
almost every day until the chases be-
came quite perfunctory. The farmer
had become accustomed to watching
the marathon.
On a bright day, almost three
months after the VOLTS first visit,
the wolf turned on its pursuer, but the
expected battle was never fought. The
dogs bristles smoothed down and af-
ter watching each other for few
minutes both animals turned, Shep re-
turning to the barnyard, the wolf going
into the hills.
Very soon afterward the dog disap-
peared. He has not returned.

MAY BRING OUT THE TRUTH.

There has been much criticism in
various quarters, regarding Secretary
Redfeld's declaration that the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce is
to be called in to find out the facts of
the case whenever producers make the
change of tariff rates an excuse for re-
ducing wages.
By some this has been construed as
a threat and by others as a confession
of the weakness of their case on the
part of the tariff reformers. Mr.. I'm
derwood being the author of the tariff
bill, his utterance on the subject is en-
titled to consideration.
When a manufacturer says he is
cutting wages because Of tariff reduc-
TONS" he explains, 1--WE want to know
if he is telling the truth. If he is not,
and he is simply Furnishing labor, then
the facts should be made public. If he
is telling the truth, We want to know
it. If we have made a mistake in any
particular instance, We are not afraid
to acknowledge it and correct it,
This seems fair enough and should
bring confidence to any place where it
is lacking. Given an honest DISPOSE
ton in al quarters to make the best OF
the changed conditions brought about
by the new tariff law, there is hardly
possibility that any serious conse-
quences can follow its enactment.
II prejudice and political bias in
connection with the tariff could be re-
moved entirely from the public mind,
and the situation could be met on pure
ly a business basis. the disturbance of
trade probably would be scarcely
noticeable.
