As the Insect from the rock
Takes the color of its wing;
As the bowlder from the shock
Of the ocean's rhythmic
swing
Makes Itself a perfect form,
Learns ti calmer front to
' raise;
As the shell, enameled warm
With the prism's mystic rays,
Praises wind and wave that
make
All its chambers fair - and
strong;
As the mighty poets take
Grief and pain to build their
song
Even so for every soul,
Whatsoe'er Its lot may be,
Building as the heavens roll,
Something large and strong
and free,
Things that hurt and things that
mar
Shape the man for . perfect
praise:
Shock and strain and ruin are
Friendlier than the smiling
days.
John White Chadwlck.
THE NATION'S PRINT SHOP.
For years the disgraceful waste and
prodigal expenditure of money In the
public printing office In Washington
have been a stench In the nostrils of
every one familiar with the situation.
Men without number were employed
and carried on the payroll, many of
whom visited the office only on pay
iays to draw their salaries. . This Item
alone is said to constitute an enorm
ous loss.
Then the miles and miles of col
umns of type that are set and the
tons of paper that are used In print
ing useless literature. The "leave to
print" is the fatlrer of abuses so gross
that they terrify congressmen them
selves. Anything and everything
goes. .Some years ago a western con
gressman wrote a poem about as long
as Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Para
dise Regained" combined. It was
bout as Interesting as Torquato Tas
"Gterusalemme Conqulstata" Is to
the reader of the present day. This
political poet had hawked his work
about for years from one publishing
house to another: but wnen editors
saw the bulk of It, it was "23" for
him. He could not print It on his
own account: he had not the means.
By one of those mysterious and In
scrutable acts of Providence, or by an
inexplicable aberration of the people
of his district, the poet was sent to
congress. Among his dunnage, he
brought along a good many pounds of
poetry and aft.-r giving the speaker
what George Eliot calls "a stony
British sture" for several months, he
was at last rewarded by catching the
speaker's eye. us they call It, and he
was given the floor.
Just what the question was made
and makes little difference. Some
thing, anything, was up when the
westerner arose and Informed Mr.
Speaker that wns very much Interest
ed In the measure before the house,
and that lie had prepared some re
marks, which he asked leave to print,
as he did not profess to be an orator,
sjid did nut care to bore the house.
Leave to print was granted and the
next morning the Congressional Rec
ord appeared with the entire poem !.i
it as a part of the regular proceed
ings. Besides this, leaflets or pam
phlets were struck off at government
expense containing the poem alone,
a practice that has been stopped, and
the poet and the poem who came out
of the west, returned Into the west
and neither have been heard of since.
Some of the big manufacturers like
the late Mark Hanna made a practice
cf publishing as a part of their
speeches statistical reports on the
various branches of trade, and dis
tributing them at the expense of the
government for the benefit of their
corporations.
Then the multiplicity of reports
and publications of a wholly useless
nature that are printed and the lack
of dlscrlmlnattlon In sending them
out Is remarkable. As the Fort
Worth Hecord aptly says:
"Possibly each of the many publi
cations Is useful to somebody, but
there Is no adequate discrimination In
mailing them out. Consular reports
and commercial compilations without
number go to people who have no
use whatever for the Information they
contain. Newspapers perhaps require
or welcome a greater variety of pub
lic documents than any other class of
citizens, and yet the average newspa
per receives scores of publications
for which It has absolutely no use. In
distribution alone an enormous sav
ing can be accomplished by a careful
revising of the mailing lists. It is a
safe guess that at least half of the
whole issue of the average public
document goes to the waste basket.
"And there Is no limitation what
ever upon contents. The most elab
orate details are printed In many
cases where summaries would serve
a better purpose."
President Roosevelt has attacked
this hydra-headed monster with char
acteristic vigor, and we may expect
reforms In the office of the public
printer that will save the government
millions of dollars that are now being
worse than wasted.
SNOmUSHNESS IX THE ARMY.
The recent trial of Roy J. Taylor,
a first lieutenant in the 125th United
States coast artillery', for compelling
Sergeant Patrick Butler to change his
seat In a New London theater, has
called forth a great deal of editorial
comment, In no case favorable to the
commissioned officer. "When the
news report told how Lieutenant
Taylor had made Sergeant Butler va
cate a seat In front of him In a thea
ter In New London and take one else
where." observes the St. Paul Dis
patch, "we regarded It as an exagger
ation, unwilling to believe that an of
ficer of the regular army would make
so prominent the width and depth of
the gap that. In his estimation at
least, separated the man who wears
straps on his shoulders from the ma'i
who wears the chevrons of a sergeant,
and Is only an enlisted soldier." This
doubt was enhanced because only
lately the Army and Navy league be
gan a campaign to compel theater
managers to give well-appearing sol
diers and sailors access to any part
of the theaters. Lieutenant Taylor
stated before the courtmartial that
he asked the sergeant to vacate the
seat in front because he Interfered
with a theater party of the Lieu
tenant's. The sentence was that Lieu
tenant Taylor be reduced 12 numbers
In rank. The New York Sun com
ments: "A lieutenant In the coast artillery
has Just been reduced 12 numbers In
rank by a courtmartial which found
him guilty of conduct unbecoming an
officer, on two counts: Making use
of his superior rank to compel a ser
geant of his command to give up his
seat at a theater In New London,
Conn.; and attempting to Justify his
action at his trial, by giving "testimony
so at variance with candor' as to lead
the court to declare It a warrant for
a more severe sentence than the one
actually Imposed.
"While It Is probable that the pun
ishment meted out by the courtmar
tial Is based more upon the second
count than on the first, It Is In our
opinion none too severe a rebuke to
the officer's conduct in Inflicting a
public humiliation upon his inferior
In rank. Such 'conduct to the preju
dice of good order and military dis
cipline' is of all too frequent occur
rence, though the majority of In
stances are not brought to public no
tice. It Is a form of hazing, In that
the victim Is ordinarily helpless and
must 'take his medicine' without pro
test; and hazing by commissioned of
ficers of the army or navy Is a very
different affair from hazing by West
Point or Annapolis cadets."
The Sun adds that "such summary
treatment of offenders of this type
should have a salutary affect In elim
inating the spirit of snobbishness
from a region where It has least right
to show Its head."
"If a man who by merit has risen
to a place among the non-commls
stoned officers, the backbone of any
army, Is to be subjected to public an
noyance because of his uniform, It
will be hopeless to try to get a rank
and file composed of anything better
than ne'er-do-wells."
The action of the courtmartial
shows that democracy and the
"square deal" extend "to the ranks
of enlisted men no less than to the
line and staff." It Is certain General
'irant's expressed hope that In the
future there will be "no doubt In the
mind of anyone that tho uniform of a
soldier Is a mark of honor which
must be respected In tho United
states," cannot fall to raise the tone
of the private and the non-commissioned
officer.
The Spokane chief of police has Is
sued orders to the entire force to ar
rest every boy under III years of nge
found smoking cigarettes.
ABOUT SIGNING PETITIONS.
Moses Taylor and others are circu
lating petitions for the pardon of
Taylor. As a usual thing no matter
what crime a rrujn has committed he
can get people to sign an application
for his pardon. The ordinary person
hates to be disobliging In a matter of
this kind. Yet when It conies down to
basic facts no good citizen should
sign an application unless they think
the courts and Jury have erred and
the man is Innocent. Otherwise It
is making null and void the action of
our courts. Too much crime goes
unwhipt of justice either through
the delay of the law or on legal tech
nicalities. . Every time- a criminal es
capes the Just punishment for his
crimes It encourages other lawbreak
ers and brings the law Into contempt.
HIS FEET TO THE EARTH.
The wanderers of earth turned to her
outcast of the older kinds
With a promise and hope In their
pleading, and she reached them
pitying hands;
And she cried to the Old World cities
iat drowse by the eastern
main;
"Send me your weary, house-worn
broods, and I'll send you men
again!
Lo, here in my wind-swept renches.
by my marshaled peaks of
snow,
Is room for a larger reaping than
your o'ertllled fields can grow.
Seed of the Main Seed springing to
stature and strength in my sun.
Free with limitless freedom no battles
of men have won."
For men, like the grain of the corn
fields, grow small In the hud
dled crowd.
And weak for the breath of spaces
where a soul may speak aloud;
For hills, like stairways to heaven.
shaming the level track,
And sick with the clang of pavements
and the marts of the traffick
ing pack-
Greatness Is born of greatness, and
breadth of a breadth profound;
The old Antaen fable of strength re
newed from the ground
Was a human truth for ages; Blnce
the hour of Eden birth
That man among men was strongest
who stood with his feet on the
earth!

PADEREWSKI AT HOME.
It is. Indeed, a remarkable house
hold that M. Paderewskl introduced
me to. It Includes dozens of dogs and
scores of canaries and cockatoos. The
servants are few, but wonderfully dis
creet, unobtrusive and "restful" to
have about one In this great and
silent menage of flowers and foun
tains and luxury.
Another monstrous St. Bernard
crouched Cerbcrus-llke at the chau
teau's gate. Suddenly Paderewskl, as
by a flash of thought, decided mad-
ame must accompany us. We strolled
back to the house. He was silent. I
was pondering the words of the post
man on my former visit: "Monsieur
yes he is adored. Madame yes
a good lady keeps all things In
order. Very energetic yes, brusque,
even. But what would you? She
wears the trousers!" Anyhow, It
were better so. A creature so frail.
so ethereal, so exquisite as Ignace
Paderewskl should not come In con
tact with the angles of the world.
We entered the vast drawing-room
on the ground floor and there found
her. Very Russian and Imperious Is

HADE FROn NATIVE ROOTS
W SAFE AND RELIABLE.
That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of 1 1 ii m it t i inuladii'S Is well proven. Kven
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
squaw to get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, ho dug "papoose root " for her,
for that was their great remedy for fo
mule weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the
same root railed Blue Cohosh In his
"Favorite Prescription." sklllliilly com
bined with other agents that make '.t
more effective than any other medicine In
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful derangements peculiar to women.
Many alllic'tcd women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur-
? eon's knife by the timely use of Doctor
'ierce's Favorite Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells of dizziness, falntness,
hearing down pains or distress should not
go unheeded. A course of "Favorite Pro
scription" will work marvelous licr.elit
In all such cases, and generally elfect a
permanent cure If persisted In for a rea
sonable length of time. The "Favorite
Prescription" Is a harmless agent, lielna
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without a drop of alcohol in Its
muke up, whereas nil 'oilier medicines,
put up for sale through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities of spirituous liquors, which
are very harmful, especially to delicate
women. "Favorite Prescription" con
tains neither alcohol nor harmful hahit
fornilng drugs. All Its Ingredients are
printed on each bottle wraper. It Is a
powerful Invigorating tonic, Imparting
health and strength in particular to the
organs distinctly feminine. For weak
and sickly women, who uro "worn-out,"
or debilitated, especially for women who
work In store, ollice, or school-room, who
sit at the tvoewritcr or sewing machine.
or bear heavy household burdens, and for
nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will prove a priceless IsMielit
because of Its health - restoring and
strength-giving power.
