Come EWSPAPERl MEWSPAPEJRl quest for gold Her half a century of life In the financial quarter of New York has nothing' of romance or sentiment to give It an attractive coloring and penurious and proverbially badly gowned, she has been a slilning mark for newspaper humorists, and yet she was the cynosure of more eyes of the lion-hunter type than any woman in New York. She greatly the role of an object of curiosity, hut there is no avoidance of trie ordeal to which she is put In passing tlnough "the alley" to her offices, "There goes Hetty Green'" cries the knowing one In a group of curiosity seekers, accompanying the remark with Ill-natured comment on peculiarities of dress and occupation. But her sqlld claims on fame will i the gibes of the madding throng, and history will not deny her a Juster estimate of the attributes by virtue of which she rose to be the richest woman In the world. South America's War Cloud. The peacemakers appear to have lost patience with the parties to the back- fence quarrel In South America and relaxed their efforts to avert a shindy.

Marshaled on the disputed border, the armies of Peru and Ecuador are face to face, fop the third or fourth time within a year Once Secretary Knox was instrumental in preventing a blood letting, and, acting in conjunction with Brazil and Ai- gentlna, an arbitration agreement -was into which. It was thought, would jecure permanent peace. Soon, however, the boundary dispute was renewed, andv peace influences are again but temporary success. It becoma apparent that lust for -war Was really at the bottom of the trouble, and that bloodshed could be the only arbiter, those who a peaceful solution finally withdrew, after Ecuador rejected a proposition to submit the matter to The Hague tribunal. iplsorderly characteristics crop out In the countries on the side of the isthmus, but not to the that ina' kel their h'story up to a quarter cf a i i ago The group of flei little I Venezuela Colombia.

Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. Boundary dis- putes usually provide the casus belli. Peace negotiations seldom have the effect of permanently removing the cause of quarrel. Each change In the map affords a pretext for a. fresh quarrel, and the bickering Is Increasing.

The clash of arms in the present instance can only have a brief duration, as neither combatant has the necessary funds for an extended campaign. Poverty is the most potent peacemaker. Phases of Reciprocity. British mpatliy for an thing and everything that spells free trade and the assurance that her trade with Canada will not be appreciably affected by reciprocity permits the governing party to put the seal of -approval on the Washington negotiations. Inferentlally, Ambassador Bryce's good offices -were exercised in the direction of preserving the Interests of the imperial government, or at least of preventing the Canadian commissioners from straying beyond the Jlmlta of royal sanction.

The additional fact noted In dispatches from Ottawa that the Canadian premier has his parly well in hand and could head off any Insurgent movement against ratification- makes it probable that tho efforts of the conservatives to secure the rejection of the bargain will prove futile. This Is Interesting and instructive news, but the crux of the situation does not lie in London and Ottawa. With them the central authority is invested TV 1th more power and potentiality than in our case. Canada's commissioners could at all times count upon having their work approved, no matter what view was taken of it by the general public at home. But our commissioners, having no way of know- Ing to a certainty what measure of reciprocity was wanted by the people, had to take a leap in the dark.

So the fate of reciprocity Is In our hands. Hinging on the question whether we care to go as far as our government has ventured to propose, reciprocity is for the nonce the footbatfof conflicting interests, political and commercial. The battle is scarcely on, but already there is an unmistakable revulsion of feeling In the quarter whence came the loudest call for a scaling down of the schedules last fall, and which "has been kept up all winter by the contingent of congressmen representing the radical revision element. Their own ox gored, they about-face with an alacrity that takes the observer's breath away. All the gin ger and snap of insurgency vanishes, and the old feeling that a tariff wall once erected should stay put has taken possession of those who recked not the consequences of tinkering with protection.

Wonder what a poll of the National Republican Progressive League on the tariff question would show today? How to Make a Fortune. The mischievous and cowardly practice of "tipping" is become a matter of state in New Jersey, as appears from the following- If a bill that Is to be presented to the legislature this session Is passed, it will become a crime to pay excessive tips for services rendered by waiters, barbers, messenger boys, and others, and persons so doing will be liable to jail terms or fines. The measure has been drafted by a Paterson restaurant keeper. The tips fer shaves are restricted to 5 cents; meals, 20 cents, drinks, 10 cents; messenger and bell boys, 5 cents. Of course, the law cannot prevent a man from giving away his money, but the incident shows how public sentiment runs.

It is said that there Is a large hotel in London absolutely tlpless, and that dally hundreds of would-be guests are denied accommodation for lack of rooms and tables. The venture has proved fortunate, and tidings is that the premises are to be enlarged and accommodations correspondingly Increased. One report liath It that the dining room is crowded from rise of sun to midnight, and at all hours the patrons waiting for places exceed in numbers those at meat. A brother of Grovet- Cleveland was proprietor of a hotel In Nova Scotia, and In his establishment the tip was abolished absolutely. What a grand President of the republic that man would have made! And right here in this town are wait- Ing fame and fortune to the man with the genius and the will to give us a tipless hotel and restaurant The fortune would be accumulated before the novelty of the thing ceased.

The Psychology of Wealth. The pait that mere money plays in the drama of human life Is possibly far greater than even the most ardent devotees of the golden calf would be led to assert And those who look upon It as a means to an end, a measure of potentialities capable of being exercised In countless different channels, too often lose sight of this phase of the problem, and discourse learnedly of the "Intrinsic value" of gold, silver, and the like. Where the need of the wherewithal comes with all of the foice of limitation, closing the avenues of enterprise or desiie, the sense of the power of wealth Is most keenly felt. According to the scant record of his career, no successful author suffered more keenly 01 more continuously the pangs of poverty than Balza', and he of all celebrated writers has left the most trenchant maxims on thp subject of finance as exercising its Inexorable sway for good or in the destiny of the Individual. But now and then there comes the case of a man who, like Midas, possesses the touch under whose manipulations every plan and project ield a flood of gold.

The question natuially aiises. what peculiarities will the history of his life present, as differentiated from those of his supposedly less fortunate mortals, who hunger In vain for that which has been given him to the point of surfeit? The pi.ilanthioples of Andrew Carnegie suggest certain ideas In this connection that will at least remain tenable until the pawky Scotchman chooses to arise In refutation. Blest with a kindly nature and a genuine love for his fellowmen, the unbroken material successes that have attended his business career have in no Ise alienated his affection for human kind, or hardened his heart to the of the aveiage man, struggling to bung about the fruition of Ins natural and legitimate desires But does not the possession of immeasurable wealth, so great that repeated donations have made no perceptible dent In the principal, cut him oft from the ability to enter sympathetically and experimentally into the thousand and one little ambitions and possible triumphs of the man with email means? What does Andy know, for example, of the sense of exultation that comes to the average business man, who has brought to happy issue the carefully laid plans of his week's schemes, or to the middle-class housekeeper who has emerged breathless but triumphant from a struggle at the bargain counter? It is by no means intended as a detraction to say that Mr. Carnegie's pronouncement of an Intention to die poor rather than disgraced may not be based altogether upon the clear perception of the underlying principles of right living. But he would be -more than human If tho Incubus of his great wealth did not at times produce a feeling- skin to panic, followed by an Irresistible desire to contract the orbit of his financial operations until he came back to at least hailing distance with ordinary millionaires.

If one had the ability to gratify every whim and what would become of the main incentives to effort? "Give mo neither poverty nor riches," said the wise man, and the saying contains as much, wisdom today as it did 3,000 years ago. A Spasm of Virtue. Thero is overwnajming evidence that an offshoot of the celebrated Podsnap family emigrated early to this country, and took up its abode in Pennsylvania, where It has since Increased and multiplied. True to Its most prominent characteristic, It Is still busily engaged In seeing that noth- "ng shall be permitted to bring the blush to the cheeh; of the young American person. Consequently, the Barnard statues--true works of art In the nude, according to all reports--designed to decorate the Pennsylvania State capltol, have been carefully denatured by the addition of patches of plaster of parts.

Old Dr. Johnson it was who said to the overly nice female, who complained of the naughty words in his dictionary, "I see, madam, you have looked them all up!" Not so with the Podsnaps. Far be It from any one to hint that they have looked. Some complaints have been made that the remedial additions show but little evidence of artistic workmanship, but what would you have? Doubtless the wet clay was applied with a tremulous shudder of outraged vlrtxle, and the saintly eye averted, with a droad of look- Ing sidewlse even, lest, as In the case of Lot's wife another statue bo joined to the collection. In the great story of Jean Valjean, Hugo describes the little Cosclte playing with the children of the infamous The- nardier, in 'which their games at times introduced features that partook of the "innocent nastiness of childhood." This single expression entitles foremost champion of the romantic school to a front place in the ranks of true realism.

The modern Podsnaps fall of a place In Hugo's category only because they are neither young Their niceness savors of that which led the precise young curate to speak, of Jonah having spent three days and three nights In the whale's society, or of the young lady who adorned the unmentionables of her piano with lace inexpressibles. To the pure all things are pure, but It Is doubtful whether these precious prudes could stand even the naked truth. There remains one comforting 'reflection, however; something connected with the building of the capitol at Harrisburg has been covered up at last. The $40,000 chandeliers and the $600 desks are still In evidence, although the "deals" that lay behind them have been carefully tucked out of sight. That the statues sufficed to produce a belated spasm of virtue affords the gratifying 1 evidence that there are those'left among the legislators who are able to blush at anything.

Martlne and Wilson, that's all! Cupid must laugh at some of his affinity work. A doctor says that men prefer blonde women. Blonde women agree with the doctor. The next thing you know, Atlantic City will require her beach statues to be draped! The reciprocity agreement now knows how the tariff feels when it Is called a local issue.

The discussion of that great subject on general lines, valuable as it has been, had reached the point where it needed to become mofe specific and practical'; where It needed something- to go on. For that reason the senator's proposal would be valuable, even if It were a mere outline of his principal views. But it is more than that. Whatever may be its final fate with Congress and the public, it is plainly very serious attempt, based on prolonged study, at constructive statesmanship in a. field as difficult as it Is vast.

So much credit must be accorded to the veteran Rhode Island expert In legislation. -Whether or not he shall In any wise accomplish his ambition to do a work like Hamilton's, that ambition is honorable, and he has not spared the labor and devotion which such ends demand. What he and his commission have done, and what he now proposes--individually, as he Is careful to point out, for the commission is as yet committed to nothing--cannot be dismissed by merely recalling- his course on the tariff and other questions. The indifference with which Congress is said to have received his plan did not extend to the two classes throughout country best qualified to deal with It--the bankers and the trained economists. These at once recognized it as something to be taken most seriously.

Naturally few would at once declare themselves In of the entire scheme with its many details, and some voices were distinctly opposed. But the volume of decidedly favorable comment was much larger. There has been a -wide concession that the plan is aimed straight at those main defects of our present system for which we are most In need of a remedy. That discussion of it will therefore be most serviceable, because most practical, which shall deal with the probable effectiveness of the means It offers in securing the ends it proposes to attain, for those are the ends to which any intelligent reform must address itself. SURPRISED THE JUDGE.

How House Committee Turned Tables on Kinkaid, of Nebraska. Washington Correspondence Pittsburg Port. Any one who doesn't believe there la such a thing as being too industrious and persistent has only to ask Judge Kirikaid, of the Sixth Nebraska district, and' he will tell him with emphasis tinged with horror that there certainly is. For four years Judge Kinkaid has been industriously and persistently pestering the Secretary of War and the military affairs committee of the House to get favorable action on a bill introduced by him call- Ing for the payment to the town of Crawford, in the Sixth Nebraska district, ot $25,000 damages, because sewage from Fort Robinson, nearby, had contaminated the water supply of said town. The Secretary of War at first not only refused to Indorse the bill but actually sent a communication to the military affairs committee throwing it down hard.

Judge Klnkatd was not discouraged. He camped on the trail of the Secretary so relentlessly, and was so urgent and impassioned in his appeals, that finally the Secretary wrote another communication saying the bill was all right. But the obdurate members of the military committee refused to follow the Secretary's recommendation and act favorably on the bill. Judge Kinkaid was still on the job, however, as Industrious and persistent and pestering as ever. He just made the lives of the members of the committee miserable by buttonholing them whenever he met them and insisting that they really must report out that bill for $25,000 for Crawford.

Even at presidential receptions and official dinner parties, Judge Kinkaid kept up the good work. Then the explosion came. The committee worm turned. The military committee met and coldly, calmly, 'brutally proceeded to pass a resolution to abolish Fort Robinson. Now what the League Island navy yard Is to Philadelphia, Fort Robinson Is to the Sixth Nebraska district.

When Judge Kinkaid heard of the committee's action he was speechless with horror. With wild eyes and streaming hair, he rushed to the committee room and begged the members there to forget he ever had a bill to pay the town of Crawford $25,000 and to throw the resolution to abolish Fort Robinson in the waste basket. The members of the committee wouldn't make any promises. They will hold the Fort Robinson resolution in reserve for a while, to make sure that Judge Kinkaid never mentions his bill for $26,000 again.

TTom the New York American George Tuttle, who until recently kept a general store at Lake Side, Long Island, 30 years ago trusted a boy for a $2.50 oilskin coat. The lad disappeared. A few days ago a handsome limousine drew up in front of Tuttle's modest little home.

Out stepped a prosperous appearing man, attired not in oilskins, but in a fine fur-lined coat. He told Tuttle his conscience had troubled him for 30 years, and he wanted to relieve it by ing his debt of $2.60. Tuttle took the money. "Did the conscience-stricken man-offer to pay interest upon that friends have since asked Tattle. "He did not, and I never thought to ask him," said the storekeeper.

ESTATE IN FAMILY FOR 1,000 YEARS Camoyg, who is due here -Within the next day or two for the purpose of attending the wedding of Col. Lord Decles to Miss Vivien Gould, in the capacity of usher, is still a bachelor, h(n engagement to Mile, de Quadra, of Madrid, having been broken off a couple of years ago. The Quadra family has played a great role in the history ot Spain, one of its most notable members having been Alvarez de Quadra, who was Spanish ambassador at the court of Queen Elizabeth, and who had been sent to England for the purpose of bringing about a marriage between Don Carlos, his master's Ill- fated son, and the equally unhappy Mary Queen of Scots, fie died somewhat mysteriously in London at a moment when there seemed to be a. prospect of success.

But with his demise the entire project came to an end. Lord Camoys Is the head of the Stcuior family, and rents his ancestral home, Stonor Park, on the Thames, to Lord Coventry's son to the latter's American wife, formerly Mrs. Richard McCraery, of New York. How ancient Is the connection between the house cf Stonor and Stonor Park win be seen from the fact that there are various historic documents, Including the Doomsday Book, which show that Stonor Park and manor belonged to the Stonors as far back as In the days of King'Edward the Confessor. According to Stonors have been In uninterrupted ownership of their Oxfordshire home, "for' close upon a thousand years, rare, even In Europe.

Some of the Famous Stonora. One of the Stonqrs was lord chief justice under King Edward Edward Stonor was one of the principal lieutenants of Edward IV in his flght agralnst the "king-maker, 1 Earl of Warwick, portrayed by Bulwer Lytton as "the last of the barons," in his novel of that name. Sir Francis Stonor, of Stonor Park, was high sheriff of Oxfordshire in the reign of James and was knighted by that monarch. About 200 years ago the Stonors became possessed of the Camoys estate, through the marriage of Thomas Stonor to Mary Blddulph, the heiress of the Catnoys property, and of Its honors then in abeyance. The Camoys peerage was created by Richard II, in favor of Sir Thomas Camoys, who commanded the left wing of the English army at the battle of Asln- court.

He was succeeded by his grandson, who died without issue, the property going to his sisters, while his peerage fell into abeyance. In which it remained for over 400 years, until recalled Into life by Queen Victoria, in favor of Thomas Stonor, as the great-grandson of Mary Biddulph. There are few families more closely Identified with the entourage of the royal family than that of the' Stonors. The present lord's grandmother was the youngest daughter of the late Sir Robert Peel, and one ot the earliest ladies In waiting and favorite attendants of Queen Alexandra. Her son, the Hon.

Harry Stonor, uncle of the present peer, is gentleman in waiting to Queen Alexandra, who has known since babyhood. He usually attends her on her yachting expeditions, and is one of the crack shots of England. His sister, Julia Stonor, married to the French Marquis d'Hautpoul. has been from childhood the closest and most intimate friend of the three sisters of King George. Father Hagen, Papal Astronomer.

Pius has just inaugurated what is practically 1 new institute for astro- nomicajf science at the Vatican. Five years ago the present pontiff intrusted the Jesuit Father John Hagen (who, for nearly two decades, made his home at Georgetown, D. as the chief of the observatory there), with the complete reorganization of the so-called Specola Vaticana, that is to say, the observatory of the Vatican; perhaps the oldest one in existence. The holy father gave him practically carte blanche, helped him to find the money for the most modern appliances, allowed him to make the necessary structural alterations in the buildings, and assigned to his use and to that of his assistants, the so-called Leonine Tower, or villa, in which Leo XIII used to delight to spend several weeks every summer, the reorganization has now been completed, at a considerable cost, and, as I have Intimated above, it has transformed the ancient observatory into practically a new institute of astronomical science. The Specola Vaticana is situated in the Gregorian Tower, where the celebrated cosmographer, Father Ignaclo Dante, a descendant of the poet, made his solar observations for the reform of the calendar.

In the seventeenth century the Gregorian and Leonine towers, which have just been united by a foot bridge, served for the barometrical observations of Bagllvi. Work Suspended Two Centuries. Bat the scientific work of the Vatican observatory was supended throughout the greater part of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, until the Barnabite Father Denza was persuaded to revive it by Leo XIII, who not only supplied funds generously for the purpose of the purchase of instruments, but by turning the master of the apostolic palaces, Mon- slgnor (afterward Cardinal) Perotti, out of the Gregorian Tower, where he had taken up his residence, enabled the build- Ing- to be restored to Its former purpose. Father Denza gladly accepted the invitation to unite with the astronomers of fourteen other great observatories In various parts of the world, In the making of a photographic 'map tit the heavens, a task on which Father Eenza'e assistant. Father Lais, vice director of the observatory, is engaged.

When Father Denza died, In 1S94, Leo XIII Invited the famous Paulist astronomer, Father Searte, of New York, to take charge of the Vatican observatory. He accepted, but changed his mind, at the Instance of his American friends and admirers, and the Spanish Augustinlan Father Rodriguez took his place, and held it until he was recalled to the observatory of the Escurjal in 1906, when Father Hagen was Father Hagen is about td Inaugurate a series Of Important astronomical publications), and vigorously supported by Cardinal Maffi, archbishop of Pisa, and president of the Vatican observatory, occupies the place filled in 1533 by the German astronomer Wldmanstadt, whose lecture, given in the Vatican garden before Pope Clement VHI, surrounded by a brilliant gathering of cardinals and prelates, on the heliocentric system, and on the movement of the earth around the sun, still figures verbatim in the Vatican records, and antedates by just 1K) years the trial of Galileo.

Almost without a ripple of comment In public journals or in private Circles of political gossip this month has witnessed the passing from public life of one of Missouri's most remarkable political figures, the Hon. Francis M. Cockrell. Bowed with the- weight of 76 years of unremitting labor, and after 36 years of public service as United States senator and 1 member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, he quietly retired from the performance of his duties in the latter capacity, giving place to C. C.

McChord, who has been appointed as his successor on the commission. When Mr. Cockrell was elected to the United States Senate In 1871 from Missouri the State was embroiled in bitter political conditions which apparently rendered It impossible for any man. Republican or Democrat, to give satisfaction to his constituents. But the grand old man of Missouri's Democracy, as his friends have delighted to call him, whose chief qualifications were his honesty and strict performance of duty In public or private life, entered upon the discharge of the functions of his office with such unflinching zeal and nonpartisanshlp that he soon won the commendations of all classes of citizens.

Irrespective of political affiliations. In the early days of his incumbency of the office of senator there were few stenographers or amanuenses, and yet, In spite of the enormous amount of labor this Involved, it is said that Senator Cockrell never left a letter from any constituent, however humble, unanswered. The poorest man in the State, Republican or Democrat, received the same courteous consideration at his hands as the richest and highest. He sturdily pursued this straight and narrow path of duty until the landslide of 1904 gave the Republicans a majority In the State legislature, when Senator Warner was chosen as his successor. At this juncture, it was thought that Mr.

Cockrell's days of duty In public life were over, but quite unexpectedly President Roosevelt appointed him a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which position he has held ever since, faltfafuHy perfuming his official duties -until- this month, when they became too heavy for his declining years. GAVE EMPEEOE A "BIKE." And Kuang-Hsu Caught His Pigtail iff the Wheel. From the Baltimore Sun.

Isaatf T. Headland, who spent twenty years as a missionary In the Orient, and Is now on a tour of the United States 'in behalf of the laymen's missionary movement-of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Headland presented the late Emperor Kuang-Hsu a bicycle In 1895. It was the first machine of its kind the ruler of the Flowery Kingdom ever saw, and he learned to master the art of cycling with it.

"Rapid progress has been made In China In the last ten years." said Dr. Headland, "and in keeping with the commercial advancement the Christian religion has spread. In fact. It' is due to the spread of religion that this wonderful change has taken place. "The late emperor was a progressive man In every respect and It was because he able to get efficient workers about him and carry out his plans that he was dethroned by the late empress" dowager.

He showed a keenness for learning that was surprising. "The date of the start of the great reform in China can be placed about the year 1894. A copy of the New Testament was presented the empress dowager on her birthday by a number of American and English women who lived In Peking. The book was bound in silver and rested In a silver box. This was- placed In a handsomely carved- box of black teakwood, which, in covered with a box of red plush.

Then a plain pine box was- used as a cover for all. "Of course, there was a lot of ceremony about the presentation, which was done through the American and English ambassadors. The empress was touched by the gift, and showed it to the emperor. Trie next day a male servant In the royal palace visited my house and purchased several books. Every day for at least six weeks the same servant called at the "house and purchased books for the emperor, until he had a copy of all books that had been translated from the Western languages Into the Chinese.

"On one of these visits the servant saw my bicycle standing In the corner of my office and. asked what sort of a machine it was. The use of the bicycle was explained to him, and to let him understand better I mounted the wheel and rode about. He was surprised and asked, 'Why don't It fall On his next visit he informed me the emperor would like to see the bicycle, and I gave it to him, telling him to present it to the emperor. "A snort while after a story was circulated about the emperor and the progress he was making with his new toy.

The story ran that while in the imperial gardens and going at a fair speed the emperor's queue became In- the rear wheel and the inevitable happened. This did not discourage him, and he continued with his lessons." Quit Muckraking.

With the passing of the sailing ship hag disappeared an art that once employed many skilled men, the carving of figureheads. In the oia days six firms In this city alone were In the business principally of carving figures, allegorical or otherwise, for the bows of the great windjammers which filled the docks of port. Today there Is not one. B. Dearborn, dean of the shipping men of this city, who has been actively In the business since 1849, said yesterday that when he came here in the year that gold was discovered in California, the East River, from the Battery to Corlears Hook on the Manhattan--then the New York--side, and from the navy yard to the Buttermilk channel, on the Brooklyn side, was a forest of masts.

The bowsprits stuck out over the streets fronting the docks, and the wondrous works of the carvers' art looked down from the bows on passersby. All this has passed. Until a few years ago a ship's chandler in South street, near Wall street, had an old figurehead--rumor said it was from the clipper ship Andromeda, which figured in the slave trade--as a sign of his trade outside his warehouse. But that Is gone, as is another that was bought by an enterprising tobacconist with an eye to drawing trade from the sallormen, and used instead of the more familiar Indian. This marine tobacco sign represented a bewhlskered, chubby-faced person, maybe the owner of a ship long since forgotten.

Down in the Erie basin, the hospital and morgue for antiquated ships, rotting and forgotten, are figureheads of several big ships. One, a figure of Aphrodite, has lost a leg, and the upraised hand, which pointed the way over the waves, also has disappeared. Another Is a draped figure, about 7 feet high, but the features long since have been obliterated. Gustave G-uiterman, who 40 years ago was one of the principal figurehead carvers In the country, is still living In retirement over in New Jersey. He says that, "like the figurehead, he is a back number," and while he has not touched mallet or chisel for twenty years, he occasionally comes over to Manhattan to visit old friends on the Maritime Exchange, or to stroll along South street and dream of the past.

"You see mighty few figureheads on ships today," he said. "Yet in the old days no vessel was considered, complete without one. Several steamships carry an ornamental plate on their bows, but the plates are of metal, and lack the individuality of the wooden figures. "I don't know who first used figureheads, but I have an Idea that it was Noah, unless it be that Adam used to go sailing. It was the inborn belief in omens that led to their use, and, while that belief has not lessened with the advent of steam, It was emphasized In the days of the sailing ship, through the romance that naturally Is associated with the winds and waves." NO LINES HAVE I.

John Kcndrick Bangs, In the Bookman No lines have I as fine as those That Petrarch wrote to Laura fair. My sonnets have no golden glows That come along from genius rare. Yet when I gaze upon her eyes Who hath become the heart of me, I hold for all my own a prize That Laura ne'er could hope to be. No inspiration deep is mine As Dante's when he hymned his praise, And sang the loveliness divine Of Beatrice and golden days. Yet when I look upon her face Who hath become the soul of me.

For all his everlasting bays No Dante would I wish to be! Immortal lines? 'Twere sweet to pen Such lines to thrill a future time; To have them sung and sung again Till heaven echoes to their chime. Yet when I see that wondrous love That hath become the life of me, I seek no laurels from above, Nor dream of immortality. To pen immortal verse--ah, well! It is not my appointed part. Elusive is the poet's spell, Elusive is the singer's art. But e'en as Dante wrote, and he Who limned fair Laura for the throng, So hath a gift come down to me If not to write to live my song! EVERYTHING THAT 1 MAKE.

My laughter for you; how we laughed in the days past recover' My tears and my trouble were yours; did any one grieve me, I carried it straight to the love that was sure to relieve me my dear, when aught happens, to you I am turning, Forgetting how far you have traveled this day from my yearning. There is nobody now to- tell things to; your house Is so lonelj And still I'm forgetting and bringing my tale to you only. The oW days are over, how pleasant they were while they lasted. The sands were pure gold that ran out ere we knew and were wasted. And still I'm forgetting, ochone, that no longer you're near me, And turn to you still with my tale, and there's no one to hear me.

In other places the railroads extended for hundreds of miles through stretches of timber, desert, and devil's garden land.
