Justice Brewer, Republican, is fifty

ANOTHER STEP TOWARD A BACK DOWN.
! London.-A dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle from the special commissioner
at Washington, giving the hitherto un-
published correspondence between the
go-ernments of Great Britain and Vene-
zuela during the period between Novem-
Der 1910, whom Sir Robert Schomburgk
was appointed to survey the western ter
ritory Of British Guiana, and April, 1S42,
when Great Britein finally removed the
boundary posts which he set at various
points in that territory to form the So
called Schomburgk liue, is attracting
much attention here.
The Chronicle calls it momentous
says it gives "a new face to the
controversy; the Schombugk line useless;
some startling dispatches"
A foreign Office official, speaking of
these dispatches to a representative of
the Associated Press this afternoon, said:
"The correspondence quoted is correct as
far as it goes"
He added: tsBut there is much which
ls not published, including the private
letters of Senior Fortesque, Venezuelan
minister to Great Britain, that gives a
different light on the whole matter. We
might, for instance, take portions of Sec
rstary Olney's document and transform
u into q statement which would be on
tirely antagonistic tv the American side
Of the question"

DONALD SERIES NO. XII.
FoR Tiny BOYS.

Donald lived in country town where
he had beautiful grounds in which to play.
He had so much fun digging worms for
his chickens, pulling up weeds in his little
garden, picking violets for his mother,
and oh, lots of other things.
He had some rabbits in a hutch which
were constant source of pleasure and of
trouble too, when he forgot to feed them
Then there was Paul Pry, the pussy, and
Rags, the doggy. Donald and these two
passed many merry hour in racing up
and down the broad carriage way or in
lying on the soft grass under the leafy fig
trees.
But there came day when the whole
family moved to a big city, into a flat
without any yard at all, and what a mis-
cradle little Donald lived in that fiat.
BY and by he commenced to droop and
get pale, then the doctor said he must go
out on the sidewalk and play with the
other little boys. So pretty soon there
was again a hungry, bright, happy faced
urchin in the house, full of funny stories
about Robbie and Joey, Willie and dear
little black-eyed George, and all the rest
Of the fellows he played with.
Alas! alas! After year OF so many
| playmates and so much fun, Donald papa
moved to house with a large yard, and
the poor Young chap has no one to play
with only just Rags"
He thinks he has hard time, and says:
81 think my folks act rather queer about
me. When l was used to large grounds,
! they moved to house without any yard
at all. Then when l enjoyed playing on
the sidewalk SO much, and had such lots
OF fun with my friends, and could knock

she beheld the dearest, darlingest little
pony that any one ever saw! He was black
as crow from the tip of his saucy little
nose to the end of the long silky tail that
dragged on the ground behind him, except
ing one little white moon just back of his
right eye, which seemed to have been put
there, on purpose to kiss, it was soft and
round.
For moment Denise did not move nor
speak, and then, with a cry of delight
which amply repaid her father for his long
weeks of searching and planning for his
perfect little turnout, she flung her arms
around the ponys neck and laughed and
cried and kissed, until the poor little fellow
was quite bewildered, and did not know
whether his new mistress was one to be de-
sired or avoided
Presently, however, he decided that it
was all right, and, with happy little neigh
he thrust his soft nose into her hands,
pressed his face close to hers, searched her
pockets for sugar and tried to say as
plainly as horse could:

were SO delighted to think they were going

that hat and always called her their

AFTER wrapping a warm shawl around
4er shoulders they were ready to start.
JUST as they were going to open the door
something stuck mammals head. She
tnought one of her hatpins was out of
place, SO she put up her hand and rear
ranged 1t. Again something pulled her

they could surely start, SO they opened the

from hef head, when, what do you sup

ner ear down, down to the floor, as fast as
IT'S Ilttle legs could carry it? Why, tiny
gray, mouse. How the little boys did
laugh, and how their mother did scream
How did it get there, mamma, and
what was it doing? Did it hurt you
much Did its tiny feet tickle your carr"
were few of the questions which Mrs.
Burns had to answer.
:. After examining her hat she told the
ilttie fellows that Mrs. Mouse had been
looking around fer soft nest in which to
Keep her baby mice, and finding that her
nat, which had been hanging UP in dark
closet Tor four or five days, had such a
soft lining she decided to turn it into

probably when mamma had taken the hat
down ana placed it on her head the little
mouse had either been asleep or too fright
fheo 10 move, gaining courage only
through desperation when she found her
self an actual prisoner.
Well, after all this excitement it was
quite late, but as the night was still SO
clear and bright, the little boys had their
walk, and stood for some time on the point
watching the beautiful moon sailing SO
slowly through the sky, and its reflection

He was named Tan because of the color
of his hair, which was bright tan and
shone like satin when well brushed by
Timothy, the coachman. So the prospect
of a new harness and carriage for Tan was
quite enough to set Denise's heart dane
ing.
AT last the stable was reached, and the
first thing her eyes fell upon was beauti-
full little phaeton with bright yellow
wheels, and shining top that could be
raised and lowered, lust like big folks's."
In the bottom, for her feet to rest upon,
was a little yellow Angora-wool rug, to
match the color OF the wheels On the
seat was soft, white wool blanket, bound
With yellow silk, and in one corner was
fastened big blanket-pin that was GER
tainly intended to pin that blanket snugly
around something's throat Over the
shining dash board was folded a handsome
fur robe, made of leopards skin, and

it stared at Denise with big glass eyes, but

and took out the exquisite little whip

her own initials on the gold band which
held the dainty ivory handle to the snake

a torrent of words which quite drowned
the remark of old Timothy, who stood by,
enjoying it as if the whole thing had been

GREAT BRITAIN ON THE LAKES,
The Agreement Faithfully Kept by the
United States.

Seventy-eight years ago this country and
Great Britain made an agreement limiting
the naval force each of them should main
tain in the great lakes. That agreement,
which has been kept faithfully by the
United States, has been violated grossly in
spirit by the Dominion authorities.
For instance, Canada has three vessels
which are actually gunboats, but which
nominally belong to the Canadian Fish
Commission, and in times of peace are used
TO overhaul American vessels suspected of
fishing in Canadian waters. They are steel
vessels with ram bows, and are equipped
with modern six FOUNDER high-power guns,
These vessels, which have crews drilled
in the use of guns, are much of the time
in Georgian Bay. They are kept there so
that in the event of hostilities thew could
command Lakes Huron, Michigan and
Superior without having to pass any fort
which might be constructed on the Detroit
River.
If war were to break out these naval
vessels would be in Lake Michigan within
forty-eight hours, and would proceed to
she'll or put to ransom every city on it.
These ships have guns which can throw
shells three or four miles. Chicago has no
guns. The city would be given the option
water cribs destroyed or of paying a ran
som of thirty or forty millions. The citi-
zens would choose the latter, and thus
help the Canadians defray their military
expenses. For long time, too,
the Dominion Government has made
arrangements for the conversion of the
large fleet of Canadian iron and steel
steam freight boats into war vessels. They
are constructed with portfolios and made
with decks strong enough to bear the
weight of gun platforms and guns. These
platforms and guns are all in readiness,
and 1t would take very short time to put
these propellers in readiness to make raids
on American ports. The Canadians have
accumulated great quantities of ammu-
milton and guns, and have men who are
skilled in the use of the latter.
All this has been going on for years and
this Government has been apathetic and
hopelessly remiss. The result is that the
lake coasts and cities are utterly defense
less, while the Canadian ones are safe.
There must be sudden change of policy.
Congress must appropriate at once for
guns, which must be stored at convenient
points. 1t must build 'tishboats" to look
after Canadian poachers. American pro-
pellers must be modified and strengthened
so that they can be used for offensive and
defensive purposes.-Chicago Tribune.
