THE BABY.


The little tottering baby feet,
With faltering steps and slow,
With pattering echoes soft and sweet
Into my heart they go;
They also go in grimy plays,
In muddy pools and dusty ways,
Then through the house in trackful maze
They wander to and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear to me
Are the same hands that smash and
wreck
The inkstand foul to see;
They pound the mirror with cane,
They rend the manuscript in twain,
Widespread destruction they ordain,
In wasteful jubilee.
The dreamy, murm ring baby voice
That COOS it's little tone,
That makes my listening heart rejoice,
Like birds in leafy June,
Can wake at midnight dark and still,
And all the air with bowling fill,
That splits the ear with echoes shrill,
Like comets out of tune.

THE PEWEE STORY.
BY ALICE HAMILTON RICH.

Two years ago. when the children and

The birds had built their nest in the
crotch Of a small branch of silver
maple. Near by WAS swung hammock,
which gave us fine chance to watch
the birds. One day we heard the peep,

had come to the nest home, and in about
ten days their little heads began to
shake above the nest, and in yet few
days longer. the wings to futter, and
one Sunday morning, first one bird and
then the other came fiuttering down.
The children and myself were atra id
Old Mouser, barn cat famous for
hunting, would catch the birds, and
this we made an excuse for taking the
wee things and putting them in tiny
cage. while | tried my best to be
stepmother to them.
l had before this been successful in
raising young caDaries by band to make
tame pets of them, and of some orphan
orioles, so thought l could raise these
mites of birds as we'll.
They were but the length, from bill 10

Within an hour after | adopted the
young orioles they would futter their
wings, open their greedy mouths. and
take food from my hand. and the second
day, the moment | came near. they
would give their call, and crowd into
my hand, eager to be the first to be fed
All l could do, the little pewees
would not open their bills, and | was
obliged to fo,ce them open. In doing
this one of the birds had its soft upper

sometimes ottener, for two days, l fed
them by force, then becoming discour-

tree, one OF the children climbed up

said, for him to come into the house.
'Then," said Villars, standing up,
81 will go to him."
His friends represented to him the
danger of thus putting himself into
the power of an unknown person, but
he replied:
"Why, he is only man, and / am
another, and have a sword into the
bargain. Still. one of the servants
may follow me-"
When Villars came to the bridge,
the man on horseback asked him to
send the servant to little distance,
and this being done, said:
81 am one of the false coiners from
the Black Forest, and my companions
have sent me to bring you the two
horses which are tied to the tree
yonder By this present they want
to show you their gratitude for having
kept your word 80 faithfully, and not
betrayed us. We have quite given
up that business now, and don't want
to hold you to your oath any longer
With these words the man galloped
off at full speed. Villars sent his
men for the two handsome horses,
and, returning to his company, re-
lated for the first time the singular
occurrence in the Black Forest
From the German of Witch.
The hero Of the above adven ure
bore afterwards a distinguished part
in doings on a larger scale than those
of the haunted" castle, in which the
English had very considerable
share; and the name of Villars de-
serves, perhaps, more celebrity among
us than it can boast at present. For,
in the aforementioned war, which
drew into it so many European
Powers besides England, Villars, by
defeating the Dutch and Austrians
under Prince Eugene at Domain in
1712, Occasional the famous and well
come Peace of Utrecht. This treaty
included terms more or less satisfac
tory to all the powers concerned Tex
cept, indeed, poor Spain herself, who
had to see many of her possessions in
different parts of Europe distributed
among the rival nations); but espec-
tally so Villars's Royal master, Louis
XIV, who thus saw the throne of
Spain secured to his grandson Philip,
against all opponents; and very fair
ly so to England, for to her share
fell Gibraltar, which she has kept
ever since, and the island of Minorca,
her first possession in the Mediter-
ranean.
In 1913 Villars, ''game to the last Z

took Milan, being then eighty years
of age! The following year wit

eventful career, and the publishing

Mrs. Griswold's story is well adapted for
home reading and Sunday-school Libraries.
The scene of he story is laid in Wisconsin
early in the 40s, and it traces the history of a
young girl from childhood to womanhood, un-
folding the steps of her intellectual develop
ment, and her growth into noble character.
The story is very gracefully written, and will
take high rank among the books for young
women of which the time is so prolific. 1t will
please readers old and young and will be es-
pecially interesting to all who are interested in
the early beginnings of society in the West.
In Waiting on Destiny the author provides
for girl readers well-wrltten and healthful
story of early Wisconsin life when that State
was on the frontiers of the great West. The
whole tone of the book is pure and elevating,
aud no young girl can peruse its genuinely in
teresting and picturesque pages without receiv-
ing decided moral uplift as well as a salutary
mental stimulus. Margareps promising girl
hood lowered into just the noble womanhood
one would naturally have expected. lions

A BLOW AT THE TRUSTS.

1t IS impossible to suppress a smile
when one reads that the Republican
members of the senate committee on
judiciary have under consideration an
amendment, presumably to the tariff
bill, for the control of trusts. 1t is
stated that it has been practically
agreed upon TO make it an offense.
punishable by fine and Imprisonment.
for any person or corporation to mo-
nopolize the trading in any article pro-
tected by the tariff bill
The trusts having been fostered by
protection, is it not a little bit barbar
Gus to turn on them now when they
have been doing nothing but that
which was practically prescribed for
them? Then why limit the onense to a
monopolizipg of those articles protect
ed by the tariff bill? Is it any worse to
moHOpolize something that is protected
by the tariff bill than 10 monopolize
something that is not protected by it.
if anything can be found that is not
protected by it? Is it not rather the
case that this earnest, and sudden.
desire to protect the people against
the rapacity of trusts is merely ruse
to deceive the people and make them
think that they are the special care of
the tariff tinkerers and that the trusts
are their special adherence?
II may all be an honest desire to re-
press trusts. if that be possible. but
thus far antitrust legislation, federal
and state has been a signal failure.
Of course, one explanation of this is
that it is very much easier to enact
laws than to enforce them. and 10 es-
tablish the existence Of a trust ac-
cording to the hard lines laid down
for legal evidence is not easy matter.
This proposed antitrust amendment
to the tariff bill does not hold out
great promise of effecting more than
other acts Of like purpose have accom-
plished.

brian fired eleven, the Intrepid twelve,
and the Astraea fourteen rounds for
one hit each. Such inaccuracy would
Of course be increased in the case of
rapidly moving target like a torpedo
boat. It must be borne in mind, how
ever, that a naval target represents a
bulls eye, and that many shots which
would be effective on some part of a
ships hull in action do not strike the
target"
From this il is to be inferred that
more accurate firing can be done with
the smaller calibre guns than the lar
ger. The great 16-inch guns would prob
ably shoot much more accurately al a
shorter range and ii is not improbable
that the naval battle of the future will
be fought at much shorter range than
practice firing. 1t was in the Chinese
japanese war. Then. again. the great
guns would be able to do tremendous
damage from great distance TO a sea-
port that was being bombarded.
1t is not impossible whenever the war
ships of any two really first-class naval
powers come together in a series of
conflicts that many accepted theories
viii be exploded and the science of
naval warfare undergo great change.
But whatever may happen in this re-
spect the efficiency of ordnance must
depend upon the accuracy of the firing.
The Americans seem to have made bet
ter scores in their practice than the
English.
