He had discovered, before it was
too late, the truth that everybody
ought to know, the truth, namely, that
your work is your life.
The supreme virtue of work is that
it keeps US from thinking about our
selves. When a man is under no COM
pulsion to work, or when for any rea-

Not Concerned With Him.

Bill Nye used to tell this story of
the late Myron w. Reed of Denver:
Reed was bright and original preach
er, and many curious people came to
hear him. Once a man from the Gun
nison country arrived at his church
rather late Sunday morning while
Reed was making low but earnest
prayer. Louder" yelled the late
conner Mr.. Reed ceased his prayer
for moment, looked at the gentle
man from over the range, and said:

society kill time" But he is without
any real motive in life except in min
istering to his own whims. Soon or
late he is pretty sure to become abb
normally sensitive to everything that
interferes with his comfort. Then, in
deed, he is well on the way to ''nerv-
Gus breakdown"
Fortunate is he il he comes under
the care of a physician wise enough
and courageous enough to say to him:

FACADE OF ASSAY OFFICE
GIFT TO MUSEUM OF ART
Government Building in Wall Street,
New York, to Be Replaced With
Modern Structure.

NEW YORK, February 25-The IA
cade of the assay office adjoining the
subtreasury in Wall street, which it
had been decided to replace with a
modern structure, has been presented
by the Treasury Department to Robert
w. De Forrest. as president of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, on condi-
tion that he will remove it without ex-
pense to the government
Architects retained by the museum
will make drawings of the facade as it
now stands, and every block of stone
before being taken down will be num-
bered, that it may be re-erected on a
new site exactly as it stands today,
New Museum Building in Prospect,
It was learned today that the Metro
politan Museum trustees hope to erect
new building in connection with the
museum to house an Americana COL
lection, the nucleus of which has been
presented to the museum by Mrs. Rus
sell Sage. If these plans are carried
out the assay office facade will form
the front of the new building
The old assay office was erected in
1923. 1t was then the subtreasury, and
the present subtreasury was the Gus
tom house. Later it was branch of
the United States Bank. When the bank
went out of existence it was used for
private banking offices. In 1854 it was
repurchased by the government. and
was used as an assay Office until the
new building was erected.

QUESTIONS u. S. RIVER RIGHTS.
Lumber Company Fights Removal of
Pier-Government Files Briefs,

The Department of Justice has filed
briefs in the United States Supreme
Court in the case of Greenleaf john
son Lumber Company VS.. United States.
The case involves the question as to
whether the government may, without
paying compensation therefor, remove
structures, built in navigable waters,
without the owners consent, and which
protrude beyond the harbor lines es-
tablished after their erection, in order
to improve the nAvigability of such
streams by widening the channel.
The government maintains that every
riparian owner who, without the ex-
press consent of Congress, builds
structures in navigable waters does so
with the implied understanding that
they shall be removed at his expense
whenever. in the judgment of Congress,
they interfere with navigation, and
that the right to erect such structures
is merely a license revocable by the
government at any time.

NO ACTION ON TREATIES.
Approval of Nicaraguan and Colon

The failure of the foreign relations

Thousands upon thousands Of Nippon

a large crowd gathered around us on

In small town an American always
gathers crowd. but this crowd was
particularly thick and excited, and
when the Japanese do any looking they
want to do it up close. The natives kept
looking at my partner, pointing and
jabbering away, wildly excited. The
crowd kept getting tighter and tighter,
while with our hands on our noses we
kept trying to push out They kept
pointing at her hands. then at her face,
and not until one of them reached
over and felt of her hands did we un-
derstand what was the matter.
The girl with me had on a pair OF
black gloves with the ends under hel
sleeves. so that the excited villagers
were trying to solve the mystery Of
how a person could have black hands
and a white face. When she drew OF
her gloves. revealing hands the sam.
