Waiting for Recovery.

Paris. Feb. 20.-Maurice Barres.
who is conducting a campaign to aid
war crfpples. has received the follow
ing telegram from Sarah Bernhardt:
Your last article, an appeal for the
invalids of the war, touched me
deeply. perhaps because 1 am going to
have my leg cut off Sunday and thus
join the great army of the mutilated.
1 could have kept my leg if had been
willing to live stretched on a sofa.
The surgeons asked me to give them
five months but refused. Why? Be-
cause longing for the theater filled me.
I would rather be mutilated than pow
erless. 49,
Work is my life. want to get to
work again, thus recovering my gaiety
and 1 hope to use again all that force
of art which keeps me up and will
keep me up until pass into the world
beyond the grave. Therefore, 1 wish
to tell you, nay son, that have four
positions for your invalids in our the
ater. Forgive me for speaking so
much about myself but you will un-
derstand why 1 have done SO. Think
of me on Sunday morning."

II Takes 1O1 Persons to Attend t0
the Forty Senators.

Although the house il more than
three times as large a body as the
senate and has handled fifty per cent
more legislation than the upper house,
the senate. the employees expense in
the senate for the last ten days was
The senate pay roll also shows Is
more employees than in the lower
branch Of the legislature.
On the pay roll of the senate at this
time are ia men and women engaged
in handling the work of upper house
1O1 names. In the senate in the last
ten days the expense for employees
has been So, 1865, while in the house tho
expense abs been $2,71O.50, or a total
expense for help in the two bodies
during the ten days ending today of
Just $6.O75.50. This does not include
the pay roll OF the 165 members of
the house and senate who received
$3.50 for their services.
Probably to $7O,OOO.
Based on the record of the last ten
days and including the expense of
mem berS for postage and telegraph
voted early in the session-the ex-
pense Of the 1915 session will prob
ably reach nearly $4,000. Total sal
aries of members and employees for
present pay roll-will total 55,127.50.
Added to this is a probable expense
of about $5,625 for postage and tele-
graph for the members during the
session.
| 1t is probable that the legislative
session will continue at least ten days
overtime-more likely Is days over
the regular fifty day session. Mem
bers will receive no extra pay for this
extra work. But employees will be
paid. That will mean an additional
expense for ten days of $6,O75.5O. OF
total expense for a sixty days ses-
sion of $6S,S28. If the session should
continue sixty-five days, including
holidays and Sundays, the total ex.
