Finally Passed

Contrary to expectations, the Rivers
and Harbors Bill managed to get through
Congress. While the bill appropriates far
less than was originally intended by its
trainers, still it is understood that ample
funds will be available to carry forward the
levee work heretofore projected. Con-
struction work is now being contracted
at prices which amount to from Is to 5000
less that the usual cost for such work. Hence
with present prices we can expect a fair
amount OF levee construction even though
the funds are less than desired.

infallible memory, is dead and left his widow
$1,000. But when death overtakes men like

widows millions of dollars. So it appears
that having good memory can not be

Burton whose term expired on the 4th in

shoulders above any of his colleagues in the
Senate in connection with rivers and har-

the bitterness manifested by him during
the last session towards the bill in which
the levee interests had so much at stake.

THE soul has no life in itself, can
not be born except in love for others,
or cannot live, save in Self-Sa crifice."
So writes Roger Pocock in his North
western frontier romance, The
Cheerful Blackguard.'
His words are strangely true. The
soulless person is he who knows no
love. In such an one there seems
nothing tangible by which to hold the
nature to high purposes. Whatever
aims or ambitions guide the life, they
have their price. Only love knows no
price and rises above all temptation
to exchange the great things Of life
for the gleam of gold.
Bernard Partridge, cartoonist for
London Punch, has in that magazine
an effective drawing entitled "Uncon-
quera BILE" 1t pictures the Emperor
of Germany saying to the King of
| Belgium, so you See-yOu'Ve lost
everything" To which the latter
replies, Not my SOUL For the soul
of Albert, King of the Belgians, stands
| for love of country, Of people, of hon
| or 1t stands for the immortality and
unconquerableness of love.
Some sensitive, loving natures seem
! born with souls, but most children
and youth boast only innocence and
joy. Loving comes later-a sweet
| and fragrant flower of the heart, bOrr
in gardens where tears are shed. Its
coming seems to change the whole
outlook upon life, the whole estimate
of self The birth of love seems also
to be the birth of fear-not fear fol
oneself. but for the one beloved. and

the loving heart; fear that they them

that their love be not returned; fear

that some evil may befall the child ol
