$1,191.so731 compared With the expenditures for
the present fiscal year The annual bill for the year
beginning November 1st provides for $500 2S3ss2,
whereas the annual appropriation for the present
fiscal year was s7,s34,41S.6o. The supplemental
appropriation is fairly cut down to the bone being
reduced from 3843,676.4s to s347,358.1S, or less
than half.
These bills starvation for the State in

~rHE PRINCE AND THE PAUFEK

Tom Canty, a little street ganin,
was one day wandering about the
streets of London and stopped before
the gates of the royal palace to gaze
into the courtyard.
The Rrufe guard ordered him away,
and handled hdm so roughly that he
bruised the boys hand.
Just at this moment the impulsive,
kind hearted young prince--afterward
Edward VI.-happened to be passing,
and overhearing the rude command
Of the guard, invited the boy to come
within.
The boys were rs nearly alike as
two peas, even to O. remarkable phys
ical resemblance, and Immediately
became friends.
The young prince, In q spirit Of
fun. suggested that they exchange
clothes Tom readily agreed. and dis.
carded his rags for tho silks and
velvets of his royal friend.
As Prince Edward watched Tom
dressing he noticed the bruised hands
and became indignant that one OF his
guards ehould thus mistreat q harm
less stranger, no matter now poor ne
appeared to be.
Glad In the rags of the pauper, he
rushed alone from the palace to rep
rtmand the guard. who laughed at
him, and mistaknging him for Tom,
drove him away.
Unaccustomed 70 walking through
the streets of the city, the prince
had strange experiences, and finally
fell in with Toms family. He re-
ceived such bad treatment that he
decided to run away with Sir Miles
Hendon, a disinherited knight, whose
pity he had aroused.
The knight believed that the boy
vas a madman, because Of his fre.,
auent assertions that he was of royal
birth, but he grew to be sincerely
attached to the lad and welcomed
him as O. travelling companion.
They wandered about the country,
having ono strange adventure after
another.
Tom, in the meantime, found his
changed condition unpleasant In
many respects, Life at court did not
altogether appeal to him. His un-

BIRTHDAY OF NOTED WOMEN

Jeanne Guyon
Copyright, 1915.

One OF the most remarkable OF re-
ligious characters of the seventh CEN
tury was Jeanne Bouvier de la Motto,
Mime. Guyon, whose talents and piety
were matched by few women OF her
day and country. She was born on
April 1s, 1s4s, and at the age of six
teen she married M. Guyon, whom she
had never seen until few days be-
fore the marriage. At twenty-eight
she was left a widow, and from that
time she devoted herselr to the ser
yices of the church, retiring to a reli-
eious establishment not far from
Paris. There she wrote one Of the
most remarkable of her books, songs
of songs Of Solomon. Interpreted 40
cordinE 70 the Mystic SENSE" and
little later "a Short and Easy Method
Of Prayer" These two works ors,, v. were re
popular. but from the nrst LneS sauo

than he gave the matter. The muck
rakers have not oonfided themselves
to attacks on one calling. The pro-
fessions have been as much spiashed
as business. Charges have been made
Unfortunately, and without respect
to persons or activities. We have been
told that shystering and sharp prac~
tice have become the profitable rule
In the practice of law; that quacks
and their patented remedies flourish
at the expense of the medical profess
sion, and that even the pulpit Is not
immune from the power of wealth
and the temptation to pursue It.
The period of hysteria inaugurated
by the muckrakers seems, however,
to be drawing to close. The atmos-
phere is clearing and sentiment re-
turning to normal. Even those who
have profited by the nasty industry
OF unsettling confidence in men prom
inent In politics and men successful
in business talk and act as IL they

Tvs, 417 were pubic and 2as 'pri-

It is hardly correct 20 say that
Congress considered" that many
measures. A statement nearer the
mark would be that that many meas
ures were introduced and appropri-
ately referred. Some OF them probably
never had the ghost of g. chance to
pass. Some probably had been intro
duced in former Congresses. Some
will probably be introduced again in
the next Congress-. Some measures
have appeared so often they have
become shopworn.
Still, after allowing for this, the
fact remains that a great many
measures are considered and passed
by every Congress, and that the total
number on the books today, not to
mention the records of State Legis-
latures, Is enormous. Not only
business men, but lawyers, flnd their

nearly eight months. About this time
she became intimate with Fenelon,
whose questionable position in the
church somewhat added to the doubt

Mme. Guyon was accused OF pecB
liar kind of heresy, known as quiet
ism, but, unlike many an offender
against orthodoxy, she was willing to
repudiate anything that gave offense
In her work, and 1t was at her own
request that the greatest French
preacher of the day, Bossuet. expur-
gated all that might give offense IN
her writings. But even this did not
satisfy her critics. and again she was
thrown into prison, this time In the
hated Bastille, where she remained
for many years. In all, Nine. Guyon
wrote some thirty-nine octave vol
umes, every one OF which shows that
made her stand out from among the
women of her age.

Goes without Food for Fifty-seven Days,
Blasting Medical Theory.

WARSAW, Ind. April 13.--James
Robinson is gradually taking on
weight again. He lost 100 pounds in
fifty-seven days, and incidentally set
a new record for fasting in so doing.
Robinson's trouble was that he had
no appetite. He simply couldn't bear
the sight Of food. Finally he was in
duced to take glass of buttermilk,
and he gradually recovered. He had
dropped from 230 to 130.
This upsets the theory OF medical
science that fifty-five days Is the limit
of a mans endurance without food.

And the birds are building nests.

Nature is in its brightest dress,

And that surely is a mess.
In the spring, walking is pleasant
Everything is turning green;
And the air is soft and balmy,
But we must stay home and clean
And to make it more laborious,
