constant companion and playmate for
years. Unfortunately the poor creature
fell i'll, and my daughter attended to him
with most asslduous care for II days but
there seemed no signs of improvement
One day followed her on one of her visits
and could not help noticing how his eyes
frightened and his tail wagged with pleas

too weak to rise
My little girl was very downoast at see
ing him thus, and whistling and shaping
her fingers to him-the usual signal for a
game of romps-the faithful creature made
an effort got up and raced with her as
far as the stables, distance of about 300
yards, where he fell down dead at her feet.
To please her he had done all he could and
had died in the effortl-Animals' Friend.

IN a commercial sense Germany has no
smiable feeling for this country since the
trade relations arranged by the last
Administration were ruthlessly disturbed.
The costliness of the mistake is shown
by the fact that Germany bought twice
as much wheat from us in 1892 as in 1894,
and FIVE times as much wheat from the
Argentine Republic in 1894 as in 1892. The
falling off in the German importation
from this country is over 5000 900 TONS

Nothing makes men honest like alb
solute safeguards against dishonesty.
One Of these safeguards is the invention
called the Myers voting machine. The
legislatures Of Michigan and New York
authorize its use at all elections 1t is
an arrangement something on the prin-
oiple of the cash registering machine.
The voter has only to touch button.
This records the name Of the voters
political party. BY its means he may
record also the names of his candidates,
whether they all belong to his political
party or not. The record thus stands TO
be counted, and nobody knows who did
or did not vote given ticket The
counting must be on the square, and no
body can peer over voters shoulder
and watch what names he scratches.
Every state in the Union ought to adopt
the voting machine.

the best short story. There will be some
lively competition for this prize. The
best story writers in the English Ian
guage are to be found at the present day
in America The prize poem must be
an epic of American history. 1t must
be founded on some event that has hap
pened since the opening of the Revolu-
tionary war. Events Of that war will
thus be included i'll the material from
which our poet can choose, The sue

the stories and poems will be published

manner by the story of the celebrated fam
lily of Fuggor OF Augsburg We are uccuS-

power attained by the financial fAnilo, OF

out century Yet tho position of the bar
ing, or Ruthschiids in the Europe OF today
is more than parallcled by the splendur
reached in the Germany OF the sixteenth
century by Jacob FuSper and his success.
GoTs. Jacob expanded the family business
TO a point unheard OF in medieval trading,
and his wool silk and spinning business
Soun became subordinate To mining and
banking occupations. From spain to Ca
riuthiA he bought up lands rich in ore from
impecUu.pu, mobiles and opened up mines.
He first shipped wares direct from the EAST
Indies by the new cape route, ana the
family acquired several feudal territories
by mort cages which fell in.
In 1904 the Emperor M.ximilian en-
nubled Jacob aud his brothers. and Leo y
constituted him count palltiuc and cqucs
aurcatus. In 1909 Jacob advanced Maxi
milan 40, 900 lucnts toward the cost Of
the Italian war. On one occasion, when
he entertained Charl', Y as Il guest i'm his
palace on tho Wcnmarkt, in Augsburg.
he burned the overdue acccptauces of The
emperor on "A large fire of cinnamon, at
that time one of the most costly Of spices. 80
