WHEN I AM A SPIRIT.

When am a splrlt--leave Inc alone
Don't prick at the tough-sknned riddle!
Would you turn from a feast to gnaw
on a bone?
Go, dine while the fddlers fiddle!
why lure me back to play the fool
TO bridge your brief hours yearning
With maudlin talk through a three-legged
stool,
With raps or table turnlng7
I'll lend no aid to an old DANES trance,
AS she plucks at the air with her t1n-
gers.
She'll bid no spirit Of mine to prance--
Let her cluck to the spook who fingers!
Oh leave me alone! Go, drink your wine.
And look TO the moments living;
Lest you in your world, in mine,
Lose precious drops of living.

Why frankfurt.

King Carl the Great (Charlemagne)
was once defeated by the Saxons, and
fed with his Franks 10 the Main. But
they could find no fording place by
which TO escape the pursuit of their
enemies. Suddenly a cart appeared
and made for a spot where it crossed
easily, thus showing the Franks
where the river was fordable. So
they came across the Main, and the
place has ever since been called
frankfurt" (the ford Of the Franks).

ADMINISTRATION WASTE
Chairman Good of Committee on
Appropriations Asks for a
Budget System.

Washington, Jan. 28,-A graphic
picture Of the vast demands of the
administration on the public treasury
was drawn by Chairman James w.
Good Of the house appropriations
committee recently in an address be-
fore the Illinois Manufacturers As
socation in advocacy Of budget sys-
tenn. Mr.. Good gave added emphasis
to the waste and extravaganza which
today prevails in the government bu-
reaus and departments. He said the
estimated requirements Of the govern
ment for the next fiscal year, not in
GLIDING anything for the railroad adj
ministration, were s5,250,000 900.
This sum, the speaker said, repre-
scented per capita tax of SAT-, and
TO collect even a much smaller sum
the hand Of the tax gatherer would
fall heavily upon many Of the people.
He charged many government depart
ment heads with extravaganza and
deplored the lack OF real business
acumen" in others.

RUSSIAN WIFE MUSTtSUPPOR7
 ThE I.USj ND

LONDON May 14- A Russian wife is required to support her hus- band if she be able to do so and he is unable to work and in need of her sup port, under the marriage laws of So- vet Russia. A copy of this code, trans lated into English has just reached London from the Russian Peoples Comn1issariat of Justice.
 It provides that married persons shall be expected to support each other. Should one.refuse and the other be what is classed as "needful," un- fit to work, the latter has the right to apply to the Department of Social Se- curity to compel the husband or wife, as the case may be, to pay support,
 Mutual consent of husband and wife or merely the desire of one of them to be freed from the other may be con- sidered as grounds for divorce. Lo- cal judges are authorized to hear di- vorce cases but their decisions are subject to appeal.
 The matrimonial age is fixed at Is fot men and 16 for girls. Both must be of sound mind and mutually desir- ous of marriage. Differences of re- ligion or vows or celibacy are no i'm pediment. Married persons may choose bear the surname of the bride or of the bridegroom or their joint names. Marriages contracted in accordance with ysllsious forms are not binding
