Now let the House of Representa-

The lower house of Congress long
ago gave up all pretense of being a
! deliberate body" Instead. it has
developed what the Senate never had
the capacity for action.
Its committee on rules can report
special rule, setting aside def
mite number of hours for debate on
this bill, and bringing it to vote at
the end of that time.
Members know how they are going
to vote. They have heard the SEN

to them.

This way of doing things may be
all wrong. So is the whole institu-

But, having these conditions, the
thing is to use them.
1t can be done, even in the brief
time remaining, and it is up to the
House to do it.

EVENTIDE.
Florence BOrner)

Who does not love the eventide
When Night filings her curtain far and wide,
AS the sinks into Golden Sea,
Enwrapped in the silence of Mystery:
When the Gay birds Sleep and the night birds CALL
And the roses cling to the garden wall
While the soothing vespers far and wide,
Rechant the music of eVentfde.
Who does not love the close of day,
When me cares and worries have passed away,
AS we think of the triumphs have won,
Some good accomplished some task we'll done: I
Have we helped friend? have done our part
TO aid some brother, and cheer his heart? .i ll%
AS we sink to the Joy of well earned rest, =
We will know that for day stood Lfe's test
Who does not love the gladstone Ntsht?
AnL the twinkling stars in the heavens bright
iney speak OF worlds far beyond ken,
That re-echo the sound of grand Amen;
Fair worlds, bright worlds w1onderlauds nf Hiss
Far, far, removed from such world as this rlg
Bright stars that CLEAN thru the livelong night
To vanish away with the mornings light
Who does not love ponder WE'LL
Those secrets of which can tell
The mysteries all unrevealed,
Things to this world forever sealed:
We pirate OF knowledge, fame and power
Yet cannot ahead one hour,
We know not what tomorrow VIII bring
What cards capricious Fate may fling
Who does not love the zephyrs low,
Which 80 softiy signing come and go.
They fall then rise, first low then high
And bring message from the sky
A pean OF pure sweet content,
With harmony forever blent
Like angel hosts Eden's shore,
chanting their praises DER and DER.
Who does not love to sit and dream.
BesiLes slowly flowing stream,
3 AS night-shad hover DER the trees
And still the songs of birds and bees
Then Fancy comes with her fair train,
And makes OF child again.
Turned back In Times relentless flow
When Fancy:s beacons softly glow

What would he have thought if he
could have foreseen the extent to

Consider the newest items of scien-
tific news. The earth is at least l6
hundred million years old, accord
