The people Of Portsmouth partOok Of
the patriotic spirit OF the times and
watched the building Of the ship as

A sun and Noon Story.

The most touching of all folklore stories
may be found in Mr.. Charles F. Lummis'
pueblo Folk Lore II is one of the
many myths of the moon, and beautifully
conceived. The sun is the Allfather, the
moon the Allmother and both shine with
equal light in the heavens. But the Trues,
the superior divnities, find that man,
the animals, the flowers, weary of a con-
slant day. They agree to put out the
AllfatheT' s-or the sun,s-eyes. The ALL
mother-the moon-offers herself as a sac
rihce Blind me-" she saws, land leave
my husbands eyes The Trues say: 1T
is good woman" They accept the sacr-
fee and take away one of the Ailmother's
eyes. Hence the moon is less brilliant
than the sun. Then man finds rest at
night. and the flowers sleep. In Mrs.
Leiber Cohens translation of Sacher
Masoch's Jewish Tales" there is a va
RANT of the sun and the moon story de-
rived from the Talmud Briefly told the
sun and moon are equally luminous. 1t
is the moon, who wants to be more bril-
liant than the sun. Deity is angered at
her demands. Her light is lessened. The
moon grew pale. Then God pitied
her and gave her the stars for compan-
ions

middle of the pavement looking up at
passersby in a pitiful manner with tears
glistening in his eyes. Now look at him
for a while and see how his mute appeal
for sympathy will meet with response"
| waited for a while, and two ladies
were about to pass the canine mendicant
and an adroit shift of his position, he
brought himself where the woman must
surely see him. Then, when he was OBJ
served, the tears welled to his eyes as the
ladies murmured, while petting him: The
poor, dear thing. Isn't he sad looking?
Nice little dog" etc.
Now said my friend, that dog IS
professional beggar, although he asks
only for sympathy. l have taken some
trouble to find out something about him,
seeing him always on some one of the
principal streets of the city going through
the same act which we have just seAa him
do. He is an expert at his business, and
his one desire seems to be to get him
self noticed He is good enough judge
of human nature TO pick out those who
will give him sympathy rather than a
kick, for. although l have watched him
many times, he has never failed, where he
has tried to bring to himself a gentle
pat, if not a kind word. He is particularly
fond of the sympathy Of charitab le-look-
ing old ladies', and ! have frequently seen
him follow them after they had passed by
without noticing him until they would give
him gentle words. How the dog lives l
don't know, nor can I find out, for no.
If he lives on sympathy there is some ac-
counting for his bOny appearance.

chestnut out of the fire by seeking to

Japan is determined to settle the war in
her own way and any interference of
ours in favor of China is impairment and

Republican Ipsincerity.
From the New York Times Dem.).


THE only tariff that l have ever adj
vocated in the past" said Gov. Mckinley
in OHIO just before the recent election,
is tariff that win compensate for the
differences between wages in the United
States and abroad" He knows that the
tariff recently enacted by the Democratic
party compensates for this difference, and
that almost every duty imposed by it
largely exceeds the difference in wages
cost of the product. The tariff which he
advocated four years ago provided du-
ties that in many instances were four
or five times this difference and exceeded
the entire labor cost of the product. We
recall that the leading organs of his party
pointed out in 1880 that the duties in one
of the NEST important schedules We're
twenty times the difference in wages cost.
Gov; Mckinley is not more sincere and
truthful in this assertion than senator
sherman was when he said that no duty
should be levied for protection that Is
not needed for revenue" and then pointed
of prohibitory rates as the ideal and
perfect example of tariff legislation.
