Upon my eonivh one surmnler morn I lay
Lazily r'iadinltg, and with li latslet rmight
Have cried, "Wiords, wordsl" and flung tsN
book away.
But my boy camne and to mny face pressed tight
His own sweet chiiek, trelending with delight
He would read too. Antd 1, tototcross for play.
Pushed im t aside -said ihe was ill rny way
And dared, alas! to send him frol Inmy sight.
Poor child! A fate I cannot understand
Has snatched thee froml Inme. I am since un
When I1ellltlry recalls the scene and place,
Thy tear and thy grieved look. Ah! I would
give
My books, mly knowledge--all--couldst thou
but live.
And could I feel thy sweet breath on my face.
-E. W. Latimer.
There Is No I)eath.
There is no deatrh! The stars go down
To rise nllton vsome earthly shore,
And brightt in heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forevermllore.
There is no death! The dust we tread
Shll clhange bene:th the sinluier showers
To golden grlin, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tillted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed tie hungry moss they bear:;
The forest leaves drink daily life
Froms ollt the viewless air.
There is no dleath! The leaves may fall;
The flowers imay fde antd pass away
They only wait, throughl wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no dea.th! An angel form
\VWalks o'er the earth with silent tread;
He ltars our blcst lovedl things away.
And then we call Ithell "dead."
Ho leaves our hearts all desolate-
Iie plltucks sour Iairest, swovtest flowers;
Transplantted into bliss, they now
Adorn ismmlortal boweIrs.
rThe lirdlilke voice whose joyous tones
MAade glad this scene of sin and strife
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where lie sees it smile too bright
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice
He bears it to that world of light
To dwell in lparadise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;s
With joy we welcome them--the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The d:ear itmmortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is life--thtere is no tlead.
In Town.
They hind no "parting in the wood,"
No "meetings in the hawthorn lane:"
"l-'esid t olsea" they never stood
Nor "wa'ltched the sunset after rain."
Their pathway was the busy street;
Their trysting place the office stair,
Yet well I know joy msore complete
Did never visit mortal pair.
And why should rustic love alone
Be decked wsit'h all poetic art?
These dull, gray city walks have known
The beating of nation's Iheart.
The weary workers comeno and go;
The secret of each soul is dumtb:
Yet. still at times a railiant glow
A.cross their wayworn lives may come.
And these, my happy lovers, knew
Ilard toil, smIll \wage, and scanty faro;
The skies they saw were never blue,
Bnt love tsnis:de urlaness evoerywhere.

The lore hat, but worn the other day,
Or t li low footstool where our dear one's feet
lIad rested, or tile lathelr's easy chair,
That never nore will hold the mnlllly form
W\e lt them stand; the room would look too

We ga/ze lint in the wttiintg, fading light;
'The Iooks and millic oiluck us ill tile room;

All dart;k td shadow hilaulted ill the gloom.

Oh, ye 'hlo never o'er dead loved ones wept,
WIho nte'er kissed cold hands and faces white
And held out empty arms and hearts to God.

Fight the Battle Out.
What if the currents of your life
Are foiled and vexed and go amiss,
And trouble your whole portion is?
Faint not; all victory comes tlhrough strife.
What if dark clouds make up your sky,
And every wind's and tide's attack
Is pushing hard to beat you back?
Court not despair-still harder try.
What if you friends keep out of view,
And whrile you sorrow seem like those
Who wear the livery of your foes?
Fret not, but battle on anew.
What if a thousand shafts of wrong
And grievous obstacles and hate
Pursue you early, long and late?
Yield not, but keep your courage strong.
What if the world seems simply made
To sweep your dearest hopes away
And balk your efforts day by day?
Care not-move onward unafraid.
What if your best work brings but pain,
Perplexity and loss and doubt?
Faint not, but fight the battle out.
No worthy life is Lived In vainl
Stand to Your Work.
Stand to your work as a man who loves labor.
Come, fear not to toil with a vigorous arm;
Heed not the sneers of an eye serving neighbor,
Or a coward skulk's hate, which can never do
harm.
Man is but man when he glories ill duty:
Work is the heritage given to all:
High is the soul in its measure of beauty
When proudly it answers to labor's roll call
What though your labor is granite stone break
ing,
Turning or fitting or wielding the spade;
Add to your laurels of manhood ly making
An honest day's work as the soul of your trade.
Sayl are they heroes in life's rugged battle
Who will tint with fervor their day weapons
wield?
Behold theml They stand as poor somnolent
cattle
That crouch in the shade of the sun lighted
field.
Experience.
So fares it since the years began,
Till they be gathered up;
The truth, that files the flowing can.
Will haunt the vacant cup;
And others' follies teach us not,
Nor much thelt wisdom teaches,
And most of sterling worth is what
Our own experience teaches.

TH E PEOPLE'S SONGS.
WHO WRITES THEM AND HOW THEY
BECOME POPULAR.
Most Popular Bnallads Have a Very Brief
but Violent Vogue-Patriotic and Senti
mental Airs Live Longer Thsn the Others.
Some Famous Song Writers.
The English-Irish author of the once
very famous song called "Lilibulero"
boasted that he had sung James II "out
of his three kingdoms," and grave his
torians have conceded that there was
some foundation for the boast. And
this furnishes us with a most apt illus
tration of the immense powet of a ring
ing popular song. "Lilibulero" is a
wretchedly poor production. In truth,
"Ta-ra-ra Doom-de-ay" is wisdom com
pared with it. But there was something
in it which caught the popular ear, and
tens of thousands of Englishmen grew
wild with enthusiasm as they marched
to the measure and sang or shouted the
refraim of "Lilibulero! Lilibulerol Lili
bulero! Bullen a la!"
MONROE H. ROSENFELD.
It is much the same with the original
'Yankee Doodle." Not one American
in ten thousand knows the words or the
name of the author, and as a matter of
fact it is extremely doubtful whether
any one man did write the piece as it
inally appeared in Isaiah Thomas' "Au
thentic Collection," printed in 1813. The
literary style is much better than that
of "Lilibulero," and there is a vein of
humor in it, but that is not the thing.
There is some mysterious force in the
ring of it which suited the popular
genius of the rising nation, and it "took
at once." The writers of such songs ac
cidentally do a thousand times better
than they intend. Contemporary or
nearly so with "Yankee Doodle" was a
little ballad of 37 verses, each ending
with "America," the word accented on
the last syllable to suit the rhyme, thus:
Americans givo car;
Of IBritains fading glory
You presently shall hear;
I'll give a true relation,
Attend to what I ray
Concerning the tlaxtion
Of North America.
The first of this was written in 1765
by Peter St. John of Norwalk, Conn.,
and a verse or two was added from year
to year as events called for them, as thus:
Surely we were your betters
Hard by the Brandywine,
And we laid himt fast in fetters
Whose lunone was .ohn iBurgoyn.e;
We made your Ilowe to troeblel
With terror and dismay.
True heroes we resemtble
In North AmernIcU.
Next in wide sweeping popularity was
"bHail, Columbia," which was in effect an
EFFIE ISORAH CANNING.
appeal to the parties to unite. Then
came the "Star Spangled Banner" and in I
due time the poetry of the Mexican war
and the great civil war. And now we
have to consider two radically different
classes of popular poetry. First is the
class including "Kaiser, Doan' You Want
to Buy a Dog?" "Sboo, Fly, Don't Bodder
Me!" "Annie Rooney," "McGinty,"
"Maggie Murphy's Home," "Dot Gre
cian Bend." "Comrades" and a thousand
more such. And it is a most interesting
fact that each of these is popular for
just about one year. First the song is
sung to crowded houses by some popular
comedian or soubrette till the untaught
public catches the air. Then it is "all
the rage." It is sung and whistled and
hummed and "executed" in all sorts of
ways for, say, six months. Then it is
taken up by the fashionables and played
in parlors or it is parodied for political
purposes, and thereafter its decline is
rapid.
Thus rose, reigned and fell "O Susan
nah," "Lucy Long," "Jim Crow," "Dan
dy Jim of Caroline" and scores of others.
A popular song in the concert halls just
now is "My Sweetheart's the Man In the
Moon." The author is James Thornton, i
who also wrote "I'm the Man That Wrote
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay" and other tuneful
but idiotic airs just now popular. Of
course there is no moral or patriotic
sentiment in any of those, but there is
another class, combining all the fun and I
fire and vivacity of the soubrette's song t
with some deep and abiding feeling, and
these songs live. f
Among these is "Rock-a-by, Baby," t
by Miss Effie Isorah Canning of Boston,
who composed it while swinging a weary 1
child in a hammock and wrought out I
the music little by little while strum- e
uing her bacjo. When she sang and
played it for her teacher on the banjo, I
he was astonished and urged its pub
lication. His advice was followed; Ana
800,000 copies were sold in a short time.
She is now studying music energetically
and hopes to do much better work. Of
a far different order, and yet immensely
popular, is the song, "Nearer, My God,
to Thee," by Albert J. Holden of Brook
lyn now, but a native of Boston. He-com
posed it especially for Emma A. Abbott
when she was soprano in the choir of
Dr. Chapin's church, and it has gained a
wonderful pre-eminence.
Another writer of popular songs is
Monroe H. Rosenfeld, and he has recent
ly given his experience in a letter from
which this is an extract:
"Johnny, GOt Your Gun" is too absurd a
work to be regarded seriously, and I think that
the song. "With All Iler Faults I Love Her
Still," should simply rank as an impulsive
freak. I wrote it merely to offer a gentle de
fense for woman-fair, frail, beautiful woman
-not any one woman in particular, but the
dear sex in general, of whom I have always
been quite fond. The song fitled my expecta
tions. It made me more than ever a friend
with the fair ones and made some gold for my
publisher, and thus my object was attained.
Undoubtedly Will S. Hayes of Louis
ville has written more of those higher
class popular songs than any other per
son, among them "Evangeline," "Dixie,"
"Wandering Refugee," "Union For
ever" and imany war tongs, "Mollie
Darling," "Driven From Home," "Nora
O'Neill," "Write Me a Letter From
Home," "Take This Letter to My Moth
er" and others too numerous to ;mention.
He gives this account of himself and his
methods:
The S in my name is for Shakespeare, but I
never use the full name. I was born in Louis
ville in July, 1837. Song and ballad writing
with me is a gift. I write songs from heart to
the heart. I believe the ear to be the best crit
ical judge of good, homelike, sweet songs and
music. Since my success song writing has been
and is still a pleasure, not a m(tter of business
with me. I have written and published more
successful songs than any man living and am
one of the few, if not the only man living, who
writes his own words and music. A man who
has no love for poetry has none for music, and
be must have a heart and soul for both if he ex
pects to write a sweet song that will be popu
lar with the masses. Very feV songs were ever
tuccessful where one person wrote the words
and another the music. To be successful they
must be wedded by sympathy in one common
tong of heartfelt sweetness and harmony. I
don't know how many songs I have written. I
never kept copies nor an account of them, but

they exceed 800, and the sales both in this and
foreign countries have exceeded 3,500,000 copies.
"JMollio Darling" sold over 1,000,00(l copies
beptimus Winner, another very popu
lar song writer, was born in Philadelphia
in 1827 and began his musicalcaareer is
teacher of instrumental music and in I
preparing the well known instruction
books. He gives the following interest- r
ing account of his most popular song:
About this time there was it street character
in Philadelphia known as Whistling Dick, an
acconmplishment in which he excelled, really
making some beautiful music, to which he t
strunnecd an idliffercnt accenilaninient on
the guitar. One of his specialties was the inl
itation of ar mocking bird, which suggested to
me the composition of ra ballad of that charac
ter, and "Listen to the MIocking Bird" was the
result. It was written to suit the small comr
pass of Dick's whistle, to whom I taught it, and
this whistling genius did much to start the song
on its successful career. The song won its
greatest popularity in the southern states,
where it was taken up by the colored people e
and sung far and wide. There are numerous
young ladies in the United States today bear
Ing the name of "HIallie," which was first used I
In this ballad. As the song was first published I
in the year 1855, it will be seen that it is now
nearly 40 years old.
He also wroto "What Is Home With
out a Mother?" "HI-ow Sweet Are the
Roses," "I'll Sail the Seas Over," "Ten j
Little Injuns" and many others, and yet j
for all his songs he has received less than t
15,000. Of the song writers very few e
possess any knowledge of musical nota
tion; hence the writer often gets very
poor pay, but Will S. Hayes has never
got less than $100 for a song, and often
much more. Other song writers are
Harrison Millard, author of "Under the
Daisies," and Thomas P. Westendorf,
author of "I'll Take You Home Again,

lHE STATUE O01 INDIANA.
It Will Be Poised Upon the Soldiers' Mon
ament at Indianapolis.
The state of Indiana is pushing rapidly
toward completion a structure which it
fondly hopes will rank among the very
i. finest martial
memorials in the
world. It stands
in Circle park,
Indianapolis,
near the new and
beautiful state
house, and on its
summit, 300 feet
ry- in the air, will be
poised the mag
nificent bronze
"Indiana" re -
cently cast at
Chicago and pro
nounced by ar
tistic experts a
creation without
equal in its line
in America.
The artist of
this fair creation
is George T.
Brewster, a na
tive of Kingston,
STATUE OF INDIANA. Mlass., and a resi
dent of Cleveland, and though he was
educated in Paris and has already done
some remarkably fine work he is still
not quite 30 years old. The design
is grand from its very simplicity. A
heroic female figure holds aloft a torch
in one hand, in the other is a sword, and
on her head is the eagle. The general
pose suggests the highest ideal of maj
esty and heroic action.
The history of the Soldiers and Sailors'
Memorial, as it is called, is well known
on account of the heated discussion ex
cited by the inscriptions. The veterans
claimed that the original design was to
make it a memorial of the heroes of the
war for the Union. When dates for the
Indian wars in the state and the Mexi
can war were added, there was a vigor
ous protest. Nevertheless the design has
been beautifully carried out. On an im
mense base, embellished with historical
groups and artistic decorations, will rise,
when completed, a shaft 250 feet high,
tal at the terrace floor is 52 feet. Sixty
feet above it recedes to 86 feet 6 inches.
Here the pedestal is united with the
shaft, 25 feet in diameter. Ascending,
the shaft diminishes to 12 feet 6 inches
at the line beneath the capital, which is
20 feet 6 inches in diameter and is sup
ported by eagles 7 feet high carved in
stone. A balustrade of stone projects
four feet above the platform or floor of
the capital. This platform is reached by
an elevator and stairway from the inte
rior of the shaft, and from it the sur
rounding landscape is seen. On it stands
the turret, an iron frame lfeet square and
10 feet high covered with copper. Upon
this a bronze globe 8 feet in diameter
will be placed, and on this the statue
"Indiana," 30 feet high, will stand.
TO RIDE WITH THE DEAD.
An English Funeral Carrlage With a Ilearse
Attachment.
"The old, old fashion, death," as Dick
ens called it, is as prolific a cause of new
fashions as the whims and needs of a
popular princess. Not only do "'the trap
pings and the suits of woe" change their
shape, ornamentation and material, and
everything except their somber color,
but the coffins for the dead have as fre
quent and as radical changes of style as
the garments of the living, and the very
hearse in which a father's corpse is borne
to its last resting place will be too anti
muated for use at the funeral of his son.
THE SHELIBERE.
The English have a queer sort of com
bination hearse and coach for mourners
that is very much used by the working
people in the large cities. It is called a
shelibere, after the inventor, an English
undertaker, who patented it about 40
years ago, though the vehicle on which
he obtained his letters was very different
from those now in use. The modern
vehicle is made to contain a full sized
zoffin in the forward part and to carry
from 6 to 12 persons behind, though fe '
f the larger sizes are made, as the small
er ones are in greater demand. They are
ftted up like private carriages and lined
inside with cnorocco and are used with
either one or two horses. In the large
English manufacturing towns they are
used four or five times as often as hearses.
The forward compartment of the orig
nal shelibere was made in a telescopic
fashion, so that after the coffin was re
moved it could be shut up to one-fourth
if its full dimensions. This arrange
nent was soon abandoned, however, as
iothing desirable was gained by it, and
since then improvements inl the shelibere
cave kept pace with those on coffins,
ceadstones and other things funereal.
An attempt was made to introduce a
Similar funeral coach into the United
3tates some years ago, but it did not
seem to become popular, and few of them
were ever manufactured. Those that
were made were only intended to obviate
he necessity for putting the coffins of
small children in the coach with the rela
yives. A sort of shelibere is in use in
some of the large German cities, partic
lnarly in Leipsic, where they are often
sen.
A MODERN CRUSADE.
NEW MOVEMENT TO RECOVER THE
SEPULCHER OF CHRIST.
How tihe Army of the Holy Cross Will
Operate - Not Sword and Spear, but
Jingling Gold to Be the Weapon Em
ployed.
A new crusade for the rescue of the
sepulcher of Christ and all the other
holy places in Jerusalem from the grasp
of the unbeliever is now being preached
by the Catholic church. The pope has
given it his sanction, and the Army of
the Holy Cross is organizing throughout
all Catholic Christendom. Not with
sword and lance, however, will its great
battles be fought, nor with the modern
"arms of precision" that have taken the
place of those ancient accouterments of
the soldiers of Godfrey de Bouillon.
Neither will there be clash of arms and
bloodshed, nor boom of cannon and pow
der smoke. No armed mass of moving
men will attack the infidel in his strong
holds; neither will hungry hordes of
zealots attempt the impossible task of
crossing a hostile country in pursuit of a
chimerical but sublime idea.
Children may join the new crusade
as they joined that preached by the
youthful Stephen in France and the
young Nicholas in Germany and as
thousands of them have no doubt
joined in spirit the gayly panoplied
throngs that followed Frederick of Bar
barossa, Richard of the Lion Heart or
St. Louis when they read the doings
of those doughty heroes in the chronicles
of olden days. And in joining the new
crusade the children need not dread the
dangers of shipwreck and the horrors of
Saracen slavery, to which their youthful
prototypes were condemned, nor the
sometimes unpleasant results of the gal
lant hand to hand encounters so often
engaged in by their favorite heroes.
The new crusade is not being con
ducted on the same lines as those of Pe-
ter the Hermit and St. Bernard. It is
being preached with equal fervor, no
doubt, but the methods proposed are en
tirely different. It is pre-eminently a
nineteenth century idea and will prob
ably have the usual nineteenth century
effectiveness. The leaders of the new
movement intend to rely upon the power
of gold rather than upon force of arms
or strategy to win their battles and will
try to purchase with accumulated wealth
what so many lives and so much treas
ure were vainly sacrificed to win. The
duties of the modern crusader will be
confined to furnishing the means where
with to make this possible. There is
but one condition imposed upon those
who join the Army of the Holy Cross,
the payment of the prescribed fee-25

With the contributions furnished the

said to have been erected on the site of
his workshop, and at Nazareth a house
for Catholic pilgrims is being crected
with these funds. But the grand idea
of the army is to raise sufficient money
to purchase all the shrines, including
the holy sepulcher, which is now, as it
las been since the year 1808, under the
joint control of the Orthodox Greek
priests and the Franciscans fathers, who
have charge of it on behalf of the Roman
church.
The Church of the I-Ioly Sepulcher is a
very large building and includes be
neath its roof, besides the traditional
tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, wherein
Christ was laid, many other spots made
sacred by association with the passion
and death of the Redeemer. The holy
sepulcher stands right under the cupola,
and about 90 feet away from it is the
rock of Calvary, whereon the cross was
raised. Just across the rotunda is an
altar marking the spot where Christ ap
peared to Magdalene, and farther on is
the prison of Christ. Another altar is at
the spot where the Roman soldiers di
vided Christ's garments, and just at the
foot of the steps which lead to the chapel
of Calvary is the stone on which Christ
sat when crowned with thorns and
mocked in the pretorium. On the rock
of Calvary are the place where Jesus was
stripped of his garments, the spot where
he was nailed to the cross, the place
where the cross was planted and the
spot where his lifeless body was placed
in his mother's arms after being taken
down from the cross. Here also is one
of the rocks that were split across at the
time of his dissolution.
The Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher, the
center of all the sanctuaries, is divided
into two parts. First is the Chr pel of
the Angel, wherein the angel appeared
on Easter morning, and where -here is
shown a piece of the store that closed
the tomb, on which he sat, and then
comes the sepulcher itself. The en
trance to this is so low th:t a person can
only enter in a stooping position or on
bended knees, and there is barely room
within for three persons at a tilne. The
original rock is covered over with white
alabaster to preserve it from profana
tion, ard the slab now there is said to be
the identical one put in place by St. Hel
an, mother of Constantine the Great. On
panels behind the tomb are two repre
sentations in relief of the resurrection,
one belonging to the Greeks and the oth
or to the Romans. The latter is a beauti
Eul solid silver reproduction of Raphael's
famous painting. H. T. WmIT.

ENGINEERS THE AUXILIARY.
Charles C. ~onney Prepares Plans PeFor the
World's Congresses.
Chicago is making many and rapid
strides in the direction of that intellec
tual pre-eminence which should undoubt
edly be hers and
is not attempting
to make them se
cretly. Her citi
zens give liberal
ly of their wealth
to endow educa
tional institu
tions and pur
chase for them
equipments that
shall surpass
'those of similar
institutions any
where, and the
Windy City may
be said to have
CHARLES C. BONNEY. given the world
fair warning that she expects before
many years to have the same cinch on
intellect and its products that she now
has on pork.
Few people have suspected it, but this
was the real object of the strenuous ef
forts to secure the World's fair, and this
has been the main idea underlying all
the herculean efforts to get things in
shape at the White City. The incidental
wealth that may accrue will count as
nothing when weighed in the balance
with brains and will probably all be
spent for educational purposes. Why
else was the World's Congress auxiliary
to the exposition formed? Read here of
its aim and object in a few words from
one of its prospectuses:
"To bring all the departments of hu
man progress into harmonious relations
with each other in the exposition of 1893;
to crown the whole glorious work by the
formation and adoption of better and
more comprehensive plans than have
hitherto been made to promote the prog
ress, prosperity, unity, peace and happi
ness of the world, and' to secure the ef
fectual prosecution of such plans by the
organization of a series of worldwide
fraternities through whose efforts and
influence the moral and intellectual
forces of mankind may be made domi
nant throughout the world."
It seems like the irony of fato that a
New Yorker should be doing all this for
Chicago, but Mr. Charles C. Bonney,
who originated and is in charge of the
auxiliary and has formulated all its
plans, hails from the metropolis and
does not work any the less on that ac
count. He is a broad minded lawyer
and came very near being a United States
supreme court judge in 1877, and he
probably cannot afford to narrow his
views by any question of vicinage. At
any rate he has not, as the programme
he has arranged will show. The con
gresses are divided by months about as
follows:
May--Woman's Progress, Public Press,
Medicine and Surgery. June-Temper,
ance, Moral and Social Reform, Com
merce and Finance. July-Music, Lit
erature, Education. August-Engineer
ing, Art, Architecture, etc.; Government,
Law Reform, Political Science, etc.;
General Department, Science and Phi
losophy. September-Labor, Religion,
Missions, Church Societies, Sunday Rest.
October--Public Health, Agriculture.
The United States Treasurer Gives Hieavy
Bonds and liHas Great Reesponsibilities.
Daniel Nash Morgan of Bridgeport,
Conn., has succeeded Enos Hi. Nebeker
of Covington, Ind., as treasurer of the
United States, and his assistant is Con
rad N. Jordan, who was once succeeded
as treasurer by the man whom Neboker
succeeded. Verily, it is a time of over
turning and returning, so it is quite in
keeping that Conrad N. Jordan, ap
pointed United States treasurer on April
22, 1885, should eight years later be
made assistant treasurer.
The new treasurer, Mr. Morgan, is
about 50 years old and is one of the lead
ing citizens of his state. He has beeCn
mayor of Bridgeport three terms, has
served in the legislature and for ten or a
dozen yoers past has been president of ai
national bank. His present place is one
for which great experience is a needed
qualification, for so far as mere money
obligation goes it is really the most re
sponsible office of the government,
Even the assistant treasurer, who is
scarcely more than lieutenant to his
chief, has to give bond for $400,000.
TREASURER MtORGAN.
The treasurer is not only custodian of
all public moneys as such, whether pal
into the main box at Washington or the
nine subtreasuries, but lhe is responsible
in a somewhat complicated way for the
moneys placed in national banks as spe
cial Unltted States depositories, and on
two or three occasions peculiarly deli
cate questiol:s have arisen as to his pow
ers and du:ies. He is also trustee for
bonds deposited to secure national bank
circulation and of Indian trust fund
bonds and is agent for paying the in
torest on the public debt, thls salaries of
members of congress and for several
similar duties. In short, the office is one
of far higher dignity and importance
than the salary of 611,000 would indicate
to .the reader and has been filled by
many of the most eminent ment in

"There are three powers--heaven,
earth and man. There are three lights
