On steeds with velvet hung
Where secret stairways tempt the

Where pirate caves abound,
And many n chest of Spanish gold

Through magic years It twines nnd

Past towers of peacock blue.

And dreams come always true.

If tho Republican party leadeTs of

they become morose, sour nnd fear

obliged to give their wives a dollar or
two for the days meat.
"These men should remain single.
Otherwise they will make such hus
bands nnd fathers us my old friend,
Crust.
"Crust's daughter said one after
noon. In a tone of unutterable sur
prise: " 'Papa went away quiet gay and
cheerful this morning.'
"Mrs Crust made an exclamation of
annoyance.
" 'That reminds me,' she said. 'I
forgot to ask him for any money.' "

THE NEW CONGRESSMAN.
With Joy he views those lofty halls
Whose noble, grand, historic walls
Have sheltered famous men;
And thinks how he'll the nation teach,
Vud soon with some magnetic speech
Awake those walls again.
He knows the folks at home await
His views upon concerns of state
With Ill-concealed restraint;
nut he'll not keep them waiting long,
And when he does burst forth In song,
What pictures he will palntl
He sees himself another Clay!
To seek the thickest of the fray
He earnestly doth yearn;
And If he's good, the lending chaps
Will let him make, some day, perhaps,
A motion to adjourn.

Switzerland's exports of machinery
nnd Implements In 1904 nre valued at
about $9,500,000. Electrical machin
ery nnd machines used for weaving,
knitting nnd embroidery were the
principal items. As this little country
has no iron or coal, but must import
these heavy materials by railroads,
the exportation of machinery speaks
well for its industrial skill.

NEGRO MEDICAL PROFESSION
KANSAS CITY.
Few cities In the West offer a
creator nnd more lucrative field for
the Negro physicians than Kansas
City. This fact, however, has become
apparent only recently. Ten or fif
teen years ago the colored people of
Kansas City wore somewhat indiffer
ent toward employing physicians of
their own race. At that time there
were not many Negro physicians in
Kansas City and our people had not
been properly informed as to tho abll
It y and cpiallficatlon of our Medical
fraternity. Tho fact that the Negro
physicians of today are ns well
schooled as are those of the white
race did not occur to our people. The
Negro press took the question In hand
and brought about conflelence and
shortlv afterwards this field was
sought by a number of physicians
