THE SNOW AT PLAY

The snow is running up the steps
And in the windows peeping;
The Snow is dancing on the roofs,
A whirling motion keeping.
The Snow is romping with the wind,
And rushing hither, thither,
The Snow is playing hide and-seek
In corners--where, o whither2
The Snow is climbing up the trees
And to the fences clipging;
The Snow is crunching in the grass
And on the branches swinging.
The Snow is sparkling with its fun
And now, and now, o hallol
The Snow, the Snow is playing ball
With every other fellowl

THE BRIDES BREAKFAST

Two little brides,
One wintry day,
Began TO wonder
And then to say,
How about breakfast,
This wintry day"
Two little maidens,
One wintry day,
Into the garden
Wended their way,
Where the snow lay deep,
That wintry day.
They swept the snow
With a broom away,
They scattered crumbs
And went to play;
So the brides had breakfast
That wintry day.

SNOW DAYS

o the children love the snow, and
they never grumble over il
Old Winter snaps, but in their wraps
they toss and tumble over it.
In a laughing. jolly tumble,
Through a snowdrift first they
stumble;
Then a snow man, like a dough man
Though he really looks like no
man,
They freeze stiff as any Roman,
Ere he has a chance TO crumble,
So, hallool who loves the snow,
Let him out APPLYING gol

BUSINESS AT LAST

An increase in the March earnings
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway, indicating that the country is
slowly awakening after the long win
ter business drowsiness, brings hope to
the hearts of the hundreds of shop
men and dependent interests in To-
peka today. The gain in traffic this
month is far from the mark set by
March last year, to be sure, but the
losses are dwindling below the disap-
pointing decrease of January and Feb
ruary and railway traffic men in To-
peka of both the Santa F'e and Rock
Island lines are looking forward to the
distant terminal Of retrenchment and
stringent finance.
Incidentally, and with vast impor-
tance to Topeka, the brighter showing
of Santa Fe finances will bring about
better times in this city. With $500
Santa Fe shopmen in Topeka working
only forty hours a week the pay roll
this winter has fallen off with a Grip
pling effect upon business. The signs

tance to Topeka.
The Santa Fe suffered a dangerous
decrease in traffic in January and
February. Unsettled conditions in the
country in general, increased operat-
ing expenses, floods in California, and
a depression caused by legislative and
national control, weakened the re-
turns of the road. AS a result gen.
era1 shop and office retrenchment was
ordered over the system. The Topeka
shops were limited to forty houys
week and scores of employees were let
out at the general offices.

for the state receivers, Immediately an
nounced appeal.
The funds which the motion Of the
state receivers sought to have turned
over amounted to $6O0, 900. The motion
was a reiteration of one made last
January by the state receivers. Judge
Mcpherson ordered $4,000 turned over
to the petitioners but denied the re-
mainder. He said:
The receiver of this court will have
charge of all property Of the gas COM

though it has met with determined Op-
position from Sir Edward Carson.
leader of the rebellious Ulsterites, Is
that any county in Ulster may vote it
self out of the home rule bill and re-
main under the imperial parliament
for six years, at the end of which time
such counties would automatically
come under the provisions of the
home rule bill unless the imperial par
lament decided otherwise.
Carson's counter proposal is that
at the end of six years such counties
remain under the imperial parliament,
unless that parliament decided to the
contrary. - .s.s.a. 49, -
In any event the imperial parlia-
ment would determine ultimately
whether the political standing of the
men Of Ulster should be changed at
the end of the six years.
