Knocking on the Door.

To me all knocking at a closed door
Is fraught with the tragic, an impera-
tive summons to open to the unknown;
to suspend for the time the present
action or conversation to make way for
that which may not be denied. l have
observed. with myself particularly,
when in a room alone that sudden
knocking at the door, coming without
previous warning as TO who might
wish admittance, suspends as If in mid
air the thought or act upon which /
am engaged. A feeling Of vague ap-
prehension possesses me, a momentary
wonderment at the sudden and unex-
pected interruption of thought. And
have observed. too, when in a room
with others, that at knocking at the
door all will turn toward 1t. suspend
ing action. leaving the speech uncom-
pleted. with strained expression in
their eyes, as If fearing something dis
astrous, while the shadow of silence
will fall upon US until the door is
opened and the cause of the unknown
summons discovered. Though the shad-
ow of silence in such an instance Is
of such short duration and may fall SO
lightly upon some that it may be I'M
perceived. to me it is none the less
real.-Atlantic.

BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE
Indication of Strong Opposition to
Measure in Present Form.

Measure in Present Form.
WASHINGTON. Dec s.-The Senate
Public Lands Committee today began
hearings on the so-called water power
bill. the first OF the conservation meas
ures mentioned by President Wilson in
his address to Congress yesterday. which
already has passed the House From
the beginning 1t was evident there would
be strong opposition to the bill in its
present form.
Senator Clark, OF Wyoming, suggested
that the measure should be amended so
that II an applicant for a lease for n
water power site on the public domain
complied with all the regulations laid
down by the bill and the department,
the Secretary of the Interior should be
compelled to grant the lease.
Edward G. Finney, OF the Interior De-
partment, replied that he thought some
discretion should be lodged with the Sec
retary OF the Interior.
Among those who will appear as Wit
nesses at the hearing are the Governors
OF Utah and Colorado, Clifford Plnchot,
Secretary Lane, OF the Interior Depart
ment; ex-Secretary OF the Interior Wal
ter L.~Fisher and Clarence NJ. Clark, of
