VERSES De Au0R

RE. tn risa vale
10 mismo que tus lagrimas;
las dos salem del hondo
misterio de tn alma.
70 quiero conocerle,
quiero saber la causa
de tn reir y tn llorar, y quiero
rimar con ella mi canci6n, armada
Yo sabre de tn risa
en- una tarde clara
de JUNO, azul del cielo
y en- ell pecho de esperanza...
Tu risa es luz y fuerza,
la algeria que pasa,
Y alientos juveniles
en- luminosas rafagas.
Y una noche sombrfa,
como la adelfa, amarga,
conocere ell misterio
de tus ardientes lagrimas.
mi pobre Dolorosa
con su carita palida,
ell corazon herido
por la desesperanza!
Mis- versos los mejores
guardo para tus lagrimas;
para tn risa fresca
frases de ingenua gracia.
RE y llora... tn risa
vale 10 que tus lagrimas,
las dos salem del hondo
misterio de tn alma.

de tn vida, en- sus paginas

%gravely, and from that he vent on
to tell her about the Hatch visit and
what had come of it; how the graft
ers had a new claw hold on him, now
made possible by an unwarranted piece
of meddling on the part of the New
York people in the political game.

this that Maisie Ann grabbed me by

MATHEMATICS VS.. THE ARTS
Association is Awakening to the Fact
Study Of the Former Is Not
Attractive.

The Mathematical Association Of
America has discovered that interest
in the study Of mathematics in high
schools and college preparatory insti-
tutions is tagging.
Under present methods of teaching,
only the automatically inclined are
able to pursue the courses with any
degree Of interest or enjoyment. 1t
will be good news 10 thousands of stu
dents, badly winded after a feverish
pursuit of the elusive X, to learn that
the association plans reforms.
Mathematics has been dry for most
students. Young minds that thrill to
the mysteries revealed by physics or
chemistry have been found ~singularly
calm and considerably cloudy after
contemplation of the binominal theOr-
en-, Extracting the cube DOT of
an incomprehensible number has
been the dullest sort of %drudgery COM
pared with the study of the Ma
po,eonic wars or the glory that
was Greece and the grandeur that
was Rome. The melodies of dead
poets and the masterpieces Of literary
geniuses have warmed hearts and
fired minds which Euclid leaves cold
and calm. The energy expended and
the brain cells shattered in prOdigious
wrestling matches with decimal frac-
tions, logarithms. algebraic absurdi-
ties. geometric Obscuritles and trig-
onOinetric absurdities have constituted
an enormous waste.
II Is well that the mathematicians
have awakened to the fact that their

Intelligent Geese.

Many are the cases on record Of
geese whose masters or mlstresses en-
deared themselves to them and as a
result were followed about everywhere
by the geese just as they might have
been by dogs. and dogs are supposed
to be the most intelligent Of animals.

 APPO|NT NTMEN N TS
 DURING RECESS
TRepubIIcan A. P. Leased WIre1


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.- Presi- dent Harding's power to make recess appointments during the present ad- journment of congress has been af- firmed by Attorney General Daugh- erty in a formal opinion made pub lie tonight by the department of justice. MT. Daugherty dissents from a ruling of former Attorney General Knox handed down in 1901 and holds that where the senate has adjourned for a specified date the president must determine in his dis cretion whether in practical sense." that body is in session so that its consent can be given to ap- pointments requiring confirmation.
 "If the presidents power of ap- pointment is to be defeated because the senate takes an adjournment tc a specified date" Mir. Daugherty says. 'the painful and inevitable re- suit will be measurably to prevent the exercise of governmental func- tions. I can not bring myself to thu belief that framers of the constitu' ton ever intended such catastrophe to happen"
 Mir. Daugherty adds. however. tha he does not think the power woult exist in the case of an adjournment of five or even ten days instead O. s. as such a period would not con stitute recess intended by the con stitution in vesting the presiden with the power to make recess ap pointments. although line of de marcation could not be accuratel. drawn.
 "In this connection" he continues sI think the president Is vested witt a large. although not unlimited dis cretion to determine when there is real. and genuine recess making ! impossible for him to receive the ad vice and consent of the senate Every presumption is to be indulge ] in favor of the validity of whateye action he may take. But there Is 1 point, necessarily hard of definition | where paipable, abuse of discretio might subject his appointment to re | view"

INDICATE
 WILLINGNESS TO l. RESUME FARLEY
TRepubIican A. P. Leased WIrel

LONDON, Sept 16-In a telegram sent this evening to Premier Lloyd George at Gairloch. Scotland, Eamonn de Valera is considered in high quar- ters in London to have indicated a desire for a continuation of the ne- gotiations looking to peace in Ire land which were terminated mo- mentarily at least by MT. de Valera's communication of earlier in the week insisting on the independence of Ire land and MT. Lloyd Georges cancel lation of the conference with dele gates of the Sim Fein which he had proposed for next Tuesday.
 The telegram of MT. de Valera was as follows:
 T received your telegram of last night and am surprised that you do not see that if we on our side ac- cepted a conference on the basis or your letter of Sept. without making our position quite clear, Ireland s representatives would enter the con- ference with their position misun- derstood and the cause of Ireland's s right irreparably prejudiced. Through out the correspondence that has ta- ken place you have defined your gov ernments position. We have defined ours.
 If the positions were not so def initely opposed there would indeed be no problem to be discussed. IL should be obvious that in case like ours if there is to be any result the negotiators must meet without preJu- l dice and untrammeled by any condl- | tions whatever except those imposed by the facts as we know them. | Late tonight MT. Lloyd George had made no response. but the concen- sus of opinion was that since nelth- CT side to the argument seemngly + dasirous of rupture there doubtless would be a further exchange Of mes sages.
 The general view in London IS tha' 1 the hitch has arisen because potf l Mr.. Lloyd George and MT. de Nalerf | are compelled to keep an eye on tn' extremists in their respective can | inets, but that behind both there alst is strong public opinion in favor O peace this feeling being as strong Il | England as in Ireland.
 From advices received in London
 the Sim Fein leaders were surprise'
 by the effect of MT de Valera's let
 ter which induced MT. Lloyd Georg
 to cancel the proposed conference
 From these advices it would seer
 that the Sim Fein leaders in Dubli
 hold the view that their leaders let
 ter was undoubtedly phrased. an
 that it is advisable to make a fur
 ther attempt to 'bring about con
 ference. It appears to be realized
 however that some weeks will be los

Active Demand
 For Pima Cotton
 On Eastern Mart

That there is an active de- mand in eastern cotton centers for extra quality staples, with sales, however, confined mostly to cheaper lots is the substance of a special cotton message sent to The Republican last evening by A. A. Talmage, cotton expert of New Bedford, Mass. He also says that Pima No. 2 is quoted at 34 cents to 38 cents, with a considerable number of sales noted. No. 3 is bringing 32 cents to 35 cents. His telegram fol- lows:
 "An active demand is noted here for extra staples but sales are confined mostly to cheaper lots through certain mills pay ing up to 36 cents for 1 1is inch fiber. The general market range of strict middling white eighths is 29 to 33 cents; three sixteenths 34 to 37 cents; quarters, 38 to Al cents; five -sixteenths, 42 to 45 cents, and strict low tinged sta pies, to 10 cents off the strict middIing price.
 Shorter cotton is active, espe- cialIy in the low grades and off coIors, with the price basis being hundred to two fifty on October for strict middling full inch, three hundred to three fifty for flat sixteenths, four hundred to five hundred for full sixteenths, six to seven hundred for Boston eighths. Low grades are three hundred to five hundred points lower. Cloth and yarn markets are slow but inquiry is active.
 Considerable sales of Pima No. 2 at 34 to 38 cents and No. at 32 to 35 cents. No. 2 is now being offered here, with 37 sales. Spot Sak, medium grade, is quoted 35 to 38 cents, and for shipment, 34 to 36 cents. High grade is 5 cents more. Medium to good grade uppers are offered at 2B to 30 cents and Peruvian Mitafifi, medium grade, is about the same price. Seal Islands are dead"
