Your letter last week ha attracted friend who wishes your name, which you failed to end with your letter. Will you pleas send It to us T Following are the word to "Better Than Gold," which you requested some time ago. 1 hop this i th poem you have In mind. BETTER THAN GOLD Better than grandeur, better than gold. Than rank or title a hundredfold, la a healthful body, a mind at ease. And simple pleasure that always pleas: A heart that can feel for a nelghbor'a wot, And share In his joy with a frlendVy glow. With sympathies larg enough to Infold All men as brother. Is better than gold. Better than gold Is th sweet repose Of the son of toll when their labors close. Better than gold I the poor man's sleep. And the balm that drop In his slumbers deep ; Better than gold is a thinking mind. That In realnes of thoiiRlif and books can And A treasure surpassing Australian ore. And live with th great and good of yore. Better than gold la a peaceful home. When) all the fireside charities come, The abrine of lov. the haven of life. Hallowed by mother or sister or wife ; However humble that borne may be. Or tried with sorrows by Heaven's decree. The blessings that never were bought or sold, And center three, ar better than gold. Bettr than gold in affliction' hour la th balm of lov with its soothing power; Better than gold on a dying bed Is the hand that pillows tn sinking head. When the pride and glory of life decay. And earth and its vanities fade away, The prostrate sufferer ne?ds not to be told That trust in Heaven is better than gold. Alexander Smart.

Close to 100 districts normally Dem-ocratic In the Inst deend were swept Into the Republican column by the Harding avalanche and many of these are expected by the political sharps 'to revert to type In the No-vember election this year. A'io th Republicans say they ar prepared to lose a considerable number of addi-tional districts which they generally carry by a comparatively small plu-rality. Republican leaders would prob-ably be satisfied with . majority of 40 or 50 In the house. " If the Republicans carry the hound they will be in control of congress during the second half of Mr. Hard-ing's term. Mr. Harding will have the majority necessary to put througn the remaining legislation on the progiam to which he and his party are com-mitted and will have t free opportunity to lay a solid foundation, for a bid for retwmlnatlon. If, however, the Democrats carry the house the G. O. P. will be In trouble for the next two years, If not longer. So, In this congressional campnln Is heard afnr the rumble of the g.ms of the 1024 presidential election. T"Xv7ASHIN0T0N. The last of the primaries In the West for the nomination of candidates for United States senators and representatives has been held and the election cam-pulg- n Is on. With onjy one-thir- d of the sennt to be elected the Republi-cans, who now have a majority of 22, are assured of continued control of that body In the next congress, though possibly by a reduced majority, and the principal question the election will answer Is whether the Republicans are to retain control of the house also.

L. Behymer of Cincinnati has his own personal doubts about the matter. In addressing the. National Associa-tion of Postmasters, Mr. Behymer ex-plained that live animals and various kinds of barnyard stock, under the law, were entitled to mall privileges. If, In transit, they wore badges in-scribed "Harmless." The Cincinnati postmaster was In-clined to doubt that fair postmistresses or a bevy of young women clerks In the home postofllce would look upon a crate ofllve mice as "harmless." Also, Mr. Behymer appeared not to look with serenity upon the prospect some day of being obliged to "attend, water and feed various fowls and irritated live-stock" as a part of the dally postal routine. The evolution of the egg, he felt, was not so bad, explaining that first the parcel post handled crates of egg9, then the contents of such eggs after hatching, In the form of live chicks, v - only to be followed by full-grow- n chan-ticleers and domesticated motherly hens. But when alligators and other grue-some creatures happen along In the usual run of business and, as was the case recently at an Ohio postofflce, escape from their crate and wallow about the ofllce snapping broomsticks and otherwise giving vent to playful pranks until reduced to the official "harmless" stage, he declared It was about time to call a halt. The convention filled to take any action upon the revelations of the Cin-cinnati postmaster, evidently feeling the "harmless" phase of parcel post management would in the proper course of events be corrected or modi-fied by the postal authorities.
