A little house with white-washed walls;
A window giving on the sea,
WHARF magic temples rise at dawn,
Where white gulls cry increasingly,
And white-winged ships that sail away,
Their farewells signal back to me-
Oft-times I see a little ship
A phantom boat with lateen SAIL,
That homewar1 comes across the
Upon a slender dream wrought trail
The silver thread they left behind
When Gree led them to the gale.
How many phantom ships I've Scent
How pitiless Is hope to me-
The waves that break upon the shore
Forever sing 4 threnody,
And thru the shadow-burdened night
The sea bells toll continually.
Yet here within my little house,
A willing hostage to the sea,
stay and in my dreams he comes
My love comes sailing home to me-
Forgotten then the haunting waves,
Unknown the sea-dawn's pageantry.

LESS HARD COAL IN Topeka
Only so Per Cent of Normal Supply
to Kansas This Year.


Kansas will receive only fifty per
cent of the normal anthracite coal
supply from Pennsylvania fields. This
information was received by the in
dustrial court today in a notice sent
out by the Pennsylvania. coal COM
mission.
Limited supplies of hard coal in the
eastern fields means a reduction in
tonnage sent to this state. Judge
John H. Crawford of the industrial
court today gave probable estimates
of the supplies available for several
Kansas towns. Under the estimate IF
the Pennsylvania commission eastern
anthracite producers will send 159
tons to Topeka instead of 265 tons as
supplied last year. The Kansas City,
Kansas, tonnage will be reduced from
61O to $50. The average supply for
towns in the state will be substantially
fifty per cent, the notice states.
