SAVED BY TWO BLUE EYES

from their robust old trunks. Here he did not feel lonely as he did in the crowded streets when he was looAing for work.
 ished and enc beautiful summer eve ming he opened his heart to the elm and told it that he was starving and miserable.
 The plaza began to be crowded with people admiring the stars and the re- placid surface Of the pond. The chill dren playing among tfls trees sang an old melancholy song known to eF- erybody in the neighborheod, La leca de amor"
 Leon stood silent. leaning against the old elm listening to the sweet voices of the children. In the dim, mysterious light he saw the. loving young couples on the ber,ches--poor factory girls from the neighhorhoed and hard-working clerks-but the moon wrapped them in her silvery light and made every girl beautiful princess and every man hero.
 Leon was sitting at the foot Of the old elm, surrounded hy invisible and mysterious things, doatlrg in the air among the motionless trees above the lonely benches and the dusty walks.
 He had never had a sweetheart, he had never whispered words of love to pair of blue or brown eyes in a silent summer night And he asked his old friend. the elm, why this happiness had been denied him He tiioaght lie felt the heart of the tree beating within the trunk, and in a very low voice, that no nightly wanderer might overhear him and think him mad, he asked the tre- to bring him a pair of sweet blue eyes. very blue eyes a owing sweetheart who might drive away his lack of courage and thoughts of suicide.
 The next evening, after another day of diSappointMent, he returned to the plaza and threw himself at the foot of the old elm, listening to the singing. sweet, peaceful dreaming only to be followed by the dreadful awakening to cold, cruel, brutal reality. Had there only been pair of blue eyes to cheer him up. he would have looked for work with even greater energy and have felt sure cf finding it.
 All this he was now telling the old elm. as he sat leaning against it's rug red trunk. q should be so brave 1e almost breathed, but suddenly he tnprsd. for there right in front of him
 Fare the blue eyes looking at him In he dim light of the summer evening slender young girl with beautiful .olden hair was approaching.
 What are you doing here, Senof con alone in the dark?' she asked
 re you sleeping ?'
 Leon felt his heart beat Tnadly, as il were going to burst. and felt uuabh anrwer.
 It was his Iandlady's daughter. whou e had always silently aG<1ired. thougf la had never dared to speak to hez ecause of her wonderful beauty and Ter lovely blue eyes.
 After a long silence Leon told every hing. She listened to him patiently nd he saw her beautiful eyes grow i'm with tears.

PART OF THE GAME

The rescue of the marooned party oi explorers, after several efforts to reach their isolated place of refuge in the far north, serves to recall the many similar sacrifices which have been made first and last in behalf oi science.
 Like many other hazardous oecupa- ttoans, the invasion Of unknown and in sonic cases almost impossible re- gions has great attractions. and though the hardships and dangers of such undertakings are fully under stood in advance, there continues to be plenty of men who are willing to risk their lives for the achievements which are possible. and from which the advancement of worldly knowl- edge the honor and adventure are the greatest reco1npense.
 This portion of Ste9ansson's ewpedi- tion on the Karluk was seeking the dirrctfol of the tidal currents, which it vas hoped to secure by per1nitting their vessel to drift in the ice. The crushing and sinking Of tho ship left thea n a perilous position and 1t is probable but for their good fertune in iocat.ng Wrangel island. their fate would have been the same as that of the eight missing members.
 DAspfte the progress which has been msdel in Arctic exploration. the ad- va1tcesnent in methods and the lessons from Reary, Scott and Anundsen the periIs continue unabated, b-t however shocking, they ace not suficient to destroy the interest and enthusiasm in such Wnrk. The fate of c. rtai4, of the Karluk crew is only what many others. by the risk which they will be willing to rnn can be expected to experience. It guea with the game.

Leon loved the old plaza with it's elrns and willows lying like an oasis in the southern part of the city. and every day the placid surface of the pond reflected his sad face. He knew every tree, every bench there.
 For three years Leon had lived in that part of the city. When he re- turned from business, the plaza called him in the quiet evening, and while walking to the car that took him to morning, when there were barely any people in the streets and the plaza was sleeping.
 Winter evenings Leon often put on his heavy overcoat and sat down there on Q lonely bench.
 After three years the firm for which Leon worked failed, and he stood with out any occupation. For months he tried to get new position, but in vain; nobody seemed to have any r1en4l for his services. and now he spent cv- cry evening resting on a. bench on the plaza with tho elIns and willows.
 There the time passed quickly while he was watching the endless caravan Of men and women passing along the walks in these gray autumn nights, and it was then that he began to dis cover things he had never before seen on his old beloved plaza.
 He studied the gay or serious faces of the passing crowd, listened to the laughter of the children playing among the willows. and 1t seemed to him that every little pebble on the walk was semethine tf1a- had fallen from 8 hu- man heart-a dream, a hope. a sor- row. N
 Everything had voice in the lonely ,lza. From every leaf Leon thought he heard a sigh. on every .anch he imagine. h saw old people dreaming of a sunny existence. The old plaza sarlg it's song with mystic voices.
 Autumn passed and the following winter, to-. Leon had almost come to the end of his savings and still he had fo.. md no post. He was fit only to be a c erk. as his father and grand father had been before him, and he went on bravely looking for work. ev- cry niGht returning to the plaza tired and disappointed.
 As he had II ~ither parents nor rela- tives, he had got into the habit of confiding 'lis thoughts to an cid e,m in a dark and lonely cLrner.
 He passed the whcl spring anon the trees, which were getting nev leaves and flowers and which cilarme him by the fragrance which exude

ECONOMY AND BUDGET SYSTEM

EtONQNfH AMD 6UDt1EF SYSTEM,
 Though It's good points have been advanced from time to time, congress Is, now at a point where it should bee able to see for itself the value of a. budget system in ths administration 9f the finenciaI affairs of the national Bovernmsnt It ought not to be nec. esbary for some emergency to arise before thought is given to economy and the introduction Of greater eiri- uiency. Such should be insisted upon zt all times, hut under the present t1ethpd of crowding unnecessary pro- Jects into the appropriation bills and keening them there through log roll Ing methods for the currying of fa- vors ami the building up of political eencss, it fails 10 get the needed at teftion
 Under the present method of an- prdprieting every do- ar which the EovernI ent treasury will stand. with fttse attention paid to the income and slight eftort made to overe.ms waste. It i1 impossible to give th. proper consideration to the tang1ad mass of overlapping appropriations.
 It. has been shown, and action is likely. to be taken in accordance with ths advice, that millions can be saved by the elimination of needless appro- priations in one bill alone. Such be- h1g the case in one instance there are excellent reasons to believe that il could prohtnbly be followed in some others, and it will be when. there is g seter1nfnatien to supplant the present methods with the budget system a1,6 'epiace extravagance with economy Taxation ought to accomplish 1t if il s given time and latitude enough.

BOARDING THE SCHOOL TEACHER

It may be necessary to have been a rural school teacher to fully under stand the problems which confront one in that position. but it can be read fly understood that it boarding places are necessary for the attraction of the class of teachers which the country schonls should have. As a rule com muhitiss which provide congenial liv- ing condiEions secure and hold good teachers, wf1iIH those not dcing so must take the poorer teachers with the result that it has its effect upon the school e9Hctency.
 Conferences in several states have given this subject no little considera- ton while discussing some of the per- picking problems Of the rural schools and it is generally agreed that prop CT hcArding places are highly inn portant to the interests of the schools. and that the question is a sarious one and deserves serious consideration. Witt, a proper regard for the place which the school holds in the commit nifty the best home should throw it's door wide open and bid the teacher welcome. The best home is none too good for the teacher whose heart and soul is in her work. In many states there are county superintendents who make it as much part of their work to find the teacher a fit boarding place as to find the teacher for the school The school teacher Is an important personage in every school district and If the best homes can be obtained as boarding. places, a contribution of great value has been made to the re- suits which are going to be obtained from the schools.
