morning to draw orders on the Treas

January 4. There was rejoicing,
therefore, for many of the solons and
employ ees were on the verge of being
dead brCk Ike.
The two Houses are ready to 60 TO
work 10 earnest ana there is work
ahead for them. The deluge Of bills
which began last week will con-
tinue this week and will be even
greater. Because of the so-called
progressive ideas, which have been
injected into phtics in recent
years: because Of the greater pa
terualism which has crept into the
State governmt Mt, and because of a
burning passion In the breast of at
most every senator ard delegate to
make an individual record, to do
something to convince the folks at
home that he is on the job, il is said
there will be more tfeakish bills in
the Maryland Legislature this session
than have ever before incumbt red the

splendid voices as we'll as pleasing

of this clever team is very good.
Mr.. Kamplain has rich full tenor
voice and his work il commendable.

musical Venetians and scored big.
The act opens with a scene from Ven
ice in the early evening. a water
scene, showing the city in the dis
lance with the reflections of the
many lights from the great build
ings. You hear the harmony Of
stringed instruments and presently a
goadola brilliantly lighted with
miniature lights, with four musicians
in native costume, glides from the
shadows and halts for few moments
while q beautiful serenade is offered
to the fair one, then again disappears
into the shadows, the music growing
fainter and fainter until Il has grad
ually died away.
The effect is good and the applause
was deafening. Then the whole COM

popular and standard selections.
The finale is prettily worked ,ut.

There's a man who is greeted with
love-lighted eyes
He's the Man Who Delivers the

One fellow is lazy, and watches the

And waits for the whistle to blow
And one has a hammer with which

And one, if requested to travel a

But one does his stunt with a whis'
tie OF smile

One man is afraid that he'll labOl

The world isn't yearnine for sucf
And one man is ever alert, on hi

He Had Something to Say.

1T is said" says Judge McPher-
son in entering the Missouri rail-
road rate decree of the United
States Supreme Court, that this
will result in years OF litigation in
the state courts befo'e he rightful
parties obtain the proceeds for such
excess rates and fares. With that

the learned judge did once have a
great deal to do with it in granting
the injunction which compelled the
rightfuI parties to pay the excess
rates and fares. Kansas City

The Welcome Hand

There's d man ia the world who is
never turned down,
Wherever he chances to stray;
He gets the clad hands in the popu-

Or out where the farmers make
hay.
He's greeted with pleasure on des-
erts Of sand
And deeD in the aIsles of the
woods;
Wherever he goes there's the well
coming hard
He's the Man Who Delivers the
Goods.
The failures of life sit around and
complain;
The gods haven't treated them
right;
They've lost their umbrellas when
ever there's rain,
And they haven't their lanterns
at night;
Men tire of the failures who fill
with their iehs.

A Farm Eclo.
(By Harriet Bradley.)

(By Harriet Bradley.)
A ! started out this morning
For my wa k around the farm,
With a sack across my shoulder
And d basket on my arm.
Not a schoolboy in the country
Ever mad heart as light,
And in answer to my whistle
Came a CHEEKY, curt "Bob-White.'
Then a tame Kentucky cardinal
With his flaming vest of red
Left his covert in the tree-top
And descended on my head,
For experience had taught him
Since the day he learned to fly
That in some of my old pockets
There VAS sure to be some rye.
Thus my friends began to throng me
! From me pigeon to the hare
And from tocket, bag or basket
Every fellow got his share.

From the bounty had brought,
Il reminded lie, as always,
/ OF the way that God takes thought
For ne, er feed a chipmunk,
Or a squirrel or jay,
But think of how the Father
Feed His children cay by day;
And the thought is ever with me,
AS let each handful fall.
That the grain freely scatter
Isn't my gift after all
These are just my little brothers.
And I'm giving them taste
Of the food our common Father
In my hand has kindly placed;
( For if lie Wilhholds his sanction
From the puny tolls of men,
They are no more Self-supporting
Than The rvbin or the wren.

And the COWS began to bawl,
| To express their appreciation
Of my customary call.
Then the horses all came running,
But they made sudden halt
When they struck the level patches
Where I'd portioned out the salt.
1t would take too long to tell you
n How the pigs and sheep and goats
All receive some small attention
e AS peddled corn and oats;
But my heart kept getting lighter
n AS my burden lighter grew,
Till at last I'd got so happy

An Ideal Prohibitionist.

John Burroughs, the celebrated naturalist author
and friend of Col Roosevelt has announced that he
would prohibit the growing of tobacco if he could He
does not how any civilized man can use tobacco
in any form. Mr.. Burroughs is an authority on ma
ture but his ideas of civilization are not in harmony
with those of many people who think they are civil
lied and live under the laws of civilization Mr. Bur-
roughs knows more about the woods and the haunts
of wild animals than any other man in America per-
haps He has devoted long life to the study of ma
ture and to association with the creatures that nature
placed on the earth alone excepted He prefers
the Garden Of Eden to the city of New York, the
cave to the Fifth avenue mansion, the footpath
through the woods to the macadamized street. the
pack on his back to the railway carriage and the
ways of primitive the ways of what is called
civilization.
Man in his civilized development can neither climb
trees, leap mountain chasms fight without ar
tfcial weapons, live without cook stove He has
become an inferior product, and civilization and de-
generacy are synonymous terms to John Burroughs
He would therefore, prohibit the sale of tobacco the
rolling of cigarettes, and the manufacture of pipes
But John Burroughs is as consistent as he is sin
cere. He does not ask Congress to follow his advice.
nor does he propose to go to Kentucky North Caro-
lima, or Cuba and preach prohibition of tobacco He
simply takes to the woods, and communes with the
birds and squirrels the bears and the and
listens to the mountain torrent he dreams of the
beauties and perecons of the world before civliza-
ton laid blighting hand upon it
John Burroughs is an ideal prohibtionist There
are still great forests and lonely mountains in the
West, and the man who does not find peace and COM
fort in the ways of civilized degenerate man. can
like Mr.. Burroughs, find way to escape contact with
tobacco and all other petty vices.

sion was intended to be an inspiring reunion OF
blue and gray veterans such as was witnessed last
year at Gettysburg and before that Bull Run. and
an entirely reasonable explanation of the Presidents
course would be that he omitted the Memorial Day
ceremony for thesvery purpose of delivering an ad-
dress to the veterans of both Sides in keeping with
the splendid spirit which inspired their reunion.
The President has made no formal explanation of
his reasons, and it is scarcely reasonable to expect
that he should Various conjectures have been ad-
vanced with less evidence of authority, one
that President Wilson had accepted the Confederates
invitation months ago, and found himself unable to
speak both occasions and another that an address
10 war veterans at this time might have an unfavor
able effect on the Mexican situation Neither expana-
ton is tenable, the latter especially being faretched
and reflection the Presidents merted reputation
for tact Besides it is contradcted by the very fact
that he will speak to Confederate soldiers on June
The suggestion that the President contemplated q
fitting address to the men of both armies on the
other hand, seems natural even though his purpose
has been msconstrued.
From every consideration it is to be hoped that
the heroes of the Grand Army of the Republic will
not mar what gives promise of being an inspiring
reunion of brave men, once foes but now friends
by remaining away from Arlington on June 4. Surely
there is possibility of their being disappointed in
the utterances of the President on that occasion.
