kind and gentle and many are the
noble deeds done by her hands.
Glands, that for many years
Had wrought for others-soothed
the tears,
Rocked the cradle, eased the fevers'

Dropped balm of love, in many an

pressed,
Above the silence of her breast,
minute appeal they told of labors
done,
| And we'll earned rest that came at
set of sum-"

NO CAR TICKETS
And Riding Public is Gouged
an Extra 20 Per Cent

All day Tuesday of this week the
riding public had to stand for an ex-
ira twenty per cent contribution to the
street railway company That is, the
donations were made up until late in
the afternoon Of that day The dona-
tions were due to the failure of the
company to provide the conductors
with tickets. The conductors said it
was no fault Of theirs, because there
were no tickets in the city. As a result,
the riders had to pay straight five
cent fare. This means about 5000 ex-
ira dollars for the company
Figure it out. 1t is said that the re-
ceipts of the company average $500
a day. No tickets to be had for two
thirds of day During this time the
riders paid a straight five-cent fare.
Buying tickets, you get "a rides for
a dollar Twenty-four rides at 5
cents each cost Sl2o So it can be
seen, if everybody who rode the first
two thirds of the day, during the time
that the cars were running, there
would have been a saving of nearly
twenty per cent IF the company 5 re-
ceipts average $500 per day, two
thirds Of that amount would be $1,000,
and 20 per cent Of this amount would
be $500, which noat little sum the
company IS ahead by not having tick

Examination of Martens before the
senate subcommittee investigating
radical pro uganda was resumed to-
day and his statement as to the pol
icy of the Russian. soviets followed
the request of the committee that the
originals of his instructions be pre-
sented. Previously, former Senator
Hardwick, Martens counsel, had eX-
planned, Martens had refused to pre-
sent the code used for communicat-
ing with his government before the
Lusk. committee in New York.
I'D like to have a little time to
see what instructions | have" Mar
tens said I'D like to furnish the
committee everything it requests"
The code was the only thing the
SOVIET agent wanted to protect, Hard
wick declared.
"These instructions from my gov

policy and conduct" he said, reading
from a prepared statement. 'In all
my activities | have scrupulously re-
Trained from any interference or par

want TO have the original instruc-
