Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall.
You had kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stilled the heart
That loved us well and true,
All, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
You are not forgotten, loved one,
Nor will you ever be,
AS long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
AS time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face
No one can fill your vacant place.

EASTERN SHORE HIT.

BALTIMORE, February 20 E).-
The Chesapeake Bay section of Mary
land and the entire Eastern Shore hao
one of the heaviest snowfalls of the
year yesterday and last night.
The snow was general east of Hag-
erstown, ranging from eight inches at
Baltimore to two inches in Southern
Maryland.
The Eastern Shore was the worst
hit, since high winds drifted the
snow as much as three and one-half
feet in spots.
Automobile traffic was almost at a
standstill during the early hours but
the State Highway Department re-
ported the roads would be cleared by
noon.
There also was some damage to
wire communications. All lines were
down to Cambridge and telephone
calls to Salisbury had to be routed by
Philadelphia.
Another cold wave followed the
snow today, with the temperature
ranging from II degrees above at
Salisbury to degrees below at Frost
burg.

What's What
BehindNeWS
In Capital
Roosevelt Quietly Weeds
lOut Incompetent Friends
| and Parasites.
BY PAUL MALLON.

The whole story of Mr.. Roosevelt's
anti-graft campaign has not been
made public. and probably never
! will be-
The public display is only the half
Of it. On the inside the President has
been using one excuse or another for
getting rid of little group of his
so-called friends and political allies
who have let themselves get talked
about in connection with Government
expenditures.
1t is one of those things seldom
mentioned in public. A man cannot
always prove that friend has been
faithless, even though he knows it to
be true.
In such cases it is usually advisable
to find way of getting rid of the
friend, without any unpleaSantness.
Wedding Out Done Quietly.
The wedding has been so quietly
done in some instances that even the
suspected friends are not quite sure
why they were pulled up by the roots.
In other cases subtle hints have
been dropped from the White House.
The victim has wisely noted them,
developed sudden cough and ban
ished himself voluntarily.

race against time for the Coast
Guard base The schooner was TAX
ing on water fast and her crew of 10
labored at the pumps. trying to keep
the craft af1oat during the 15-mile
run to port.
The wind, which had been strong
southwest and warm, with rain all
night, had shifted to a freezing
northeast gale with snow squalls. The
change in the wind churned the ice
foes, making navigation extremely
dangerous.
Help came to the storm stricken
schooner, as surfmen of the Guilty.
hunk Coast Guard Station had their
beach apparatus on the sands, pre-
pared to take the 10 men off with a
breeches buoy. The schooner had
lain helpless 500 feet from shore
while her crew clung to the rigging
to keep from being washed over

PAY RESTORATION
ACTION DELAYED
Consideration Is Postponed
Because of Illness of
Several Senators.
From Wide World Photos.

Although there may be some pre-
liminary debate on the independent
Offices appropriation bill in the Sen
ate late today the Government pay
restoration part of the bill is not ex-
pected to be taken up before tomor-
row. Consideration of the question
had to be postponed because of the
illness of several Senators taking a
leading part in the economy sections
of the measure.
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, Of South
Carolina, in charge of the admin
istration proposals both on pay restor-
alton and modification of war vet
erans' allowances. is recovering from
a cold and hopes to return to the
Senate tomorrow.
Studying Provisions.
Meanwhile individual members of
the Senate are studying detailed pro-
visions of the bill as reported from
committee and some are drafting new
amendments
Senator Thomas, Democrat. of
Oklahoma, has prepared an amend
ment under which mechanical groups
in the Government service whose pay
is fixed by wage boards would receive
the basic wages in effect in June,
1882, less any general percentage re-
duction that may be retained for all
employees. The amendment further
provides for 40-hour week for these
mechanical groups, with time-and-a-
half for overtime. Navy Yard work
ers are among those to whom the
amendment would apply.
Approval Assured.
On the salary question generally
there is believed to be no doubt that
the provision for immediate restora-
ton Of 5 per cent of the Is per cent
cut will be approved The only Sc
rious difference of opinion is whether
on July l all the cut should be re-
stored, or 10 per cent restored on
that date. with the President allowed
to determine whether price levels jus
tify return Of the remaining S per
cent.
