The Country OF
Make-BeGepe

The Princess Of Day Dreams went
out for a drive
In her golden carriage Of state.
Past the palaces grand Of her faith

With her cream colored ponies

Her outriders bold, in their scarlet
and gold,

And the people in throng. as she
passed along
Went down on their hands and
knees.
And the sun seemed to stop up in
tho sky,
Just to see the little Princess
passing by:
The waves forgot to wave. and the
Dragon left his cave
For a glance of her sweet blue
eye.
The birds began to sing. as brave
as anything.
And the breeze was rude
enough to kiss her hair;
But the dust lay down before her,
and the green leaves, won

Whispered how that she was
sweet and very fair.
And the sunbeams wove, as the
Princess drove,
The dance that the fairies
weave,
Where it's good to be glad, and you
mustn't be sad,
In the Country of Make-Believe.
The Princess came back with I'M
dignified haste
Through the City of What-Might-
Be.
And dirty-faced boy was her only
steed
Whose trousers were torn at
the knee.
Her carriage had changed to a box
upon wheels,
And the whole OF her royal train
Forgot its allegiance and took to
it's heels,
For, in fact, it came on to rain.
And the sun hid himself behind the
grey
OF the clouds that came and
gloomed upon her way;

For running away without leave:
It's wearisome track, the way
you come back
From the Country OF Make-Be-

But the Princess will go for drive
again
Through the streets OF the fairy
town;
For it's always just outside the
window pane.
When the blinds are pulled
closely down.
You can see it best when you shut
your eyes,
And it's sunniest day is at
night,
When your sleepy head is nodding

And you blink in the candle

To enjoy it through and through. 1t

Ho,u Can / Serpe?

There are strange. unexpected
ways
You swwcp a room. or turn a sod.
And suddenly. to your surprise,
You hear the whirr of seraphim.
And find you're under Gods own

And building palaces for him.

Tom Moore and Jefferson
Columbus Dispatch )

Columbus Dispatch)
 When Thomas Moore, the Irish poet, was admir- atty registrar at Bermuda in 1903, he took advant- age of the opportunity to visit the United States His Bermuda task wis rksome and he turned it over to deputy and visited Washington to look the young Republic and determine at first hand in seeking their independence and to what they doing with it.
 Washington the Father of His Country" had been three of four years dead, and Jefferson was himself about 25 years of age, and filled with love of royalty He looked on the Republic whose constitutional life then shorter than his own and displeased. From Washington he wrote to Dr. Thomas Hume this stricture on Jefferson: If thou hast got within thy free-born breast One pulse that beats more proudly than the rest With honest for that ingOriOus soul Which creeps and winds beneath moles control Which courts the rabbles smile the rabbles nod And makes-ke Egypt-every beast its god There, in those walls-but burning tongue forbear! Rank must be reverenced even the rank that's there:
 In the words of Col Mulberry Sellers, what did Thomas Jefferson do to Thomas Moore that Thomas Moore should treat him so?
 Henry R. Randall, in his Life of Jefferson, y draws the veil and tells the story. Moore had been presented to the President by the British represen- tative. Jefferson had never heard of him the few that he had written Wise he was, he did not know that the little dantifed, curled and perfumed person before him be his fla vorite poet in later life Jeffersons 6 feet 21A inches of height lowered above the boy and having spoken to him once, he had more to say to him. When Moore's scurrious matter about the President published it taken to him by Congressman Burwell and Mrs Randolph both Of whom were speechless with indignation. Jefferson looked it over, stared at his visitors, and then burst into q hearty laugh. Ten years later Moore's Irish melo- dies became MT. Jefferson's favorie poetry, and Moore in letter to his daughter. But the poet never apologzed.

ONE MILLION FOR ROADS

After a very thorough survey of the field 1n the course of which the reqeusts and demands TOT ne" roads and road Improvements from all the various sections of the Territory, together with their reas- ableness and practcability, had been taken into account Major Waugh President of the Road Com mission and the practical head of all road building organizations Alaska has estimated that to meet the necessities the situation in this Territory Will require appropriation of $719,oOo from congress next year and he will ask for this amount. The largeness of this sun is partly due to the failure of Congress appropriate more than sloo,ooo TOT that purpose this year.
 There should be a determined effort on the part of the people of all sections of Alaska to get Con gress to make this appropriations It is conceded by those of all sections this Territory and those or all shades of political belief that more and better roads are absolute necessity for development Tn the North There may be some division of senti- ment as to whether or not the Government railroad program should be extended, but there is absolutely none as the need of continuing wagon and auto mobile road extension and betterment It IS ad- mitted that no great of public money has beer expended this country from which greater or more needfu benefit has been derived than from the money that has been devoted to roads-possbly excepting that spent aids to navigation The roads Alaska has built have served indispensable need and extensive further development is de- pendent upon further road building.
 Alaskans will have the best of arguments, based upon right and justice and practical common sense to offer Congress for large road appropriations for Alaska. is estimated that 9S cent. of the resdfces of this Territory the property of the Fedefef Nspxernment Every dollar expended upon roads make these resources easier of access, and moref valudble. The benefits, from practical dol lars and cents standpoint to be derived from build ing Sin Alaska Will be many times greater to the Federal Government than to the people here The people of Alaska paying out vast sums annually for road building, and other public i'm provements, and every dollar thus expended add many times more to the value of the vaster resource of the Government than those of the people. Tho Federal Government could expend million yea; in road building in Alaska for indefinite number of years, and still bear anything like its fai' share of the expense in that direction.
 Let ask Congress for million for road next year. and again the and the next right along until the situation is fairly met.
