A FABEL.

A donkey was one day ling
ering near his masters win
dow, bitter repining. 81 have
faithfully served my master
said he, "and yet he has not
praised me for what have done
True, he gives me plenty to ca,
and a warm stable to sleep in
but | feel that something more
is due me. He should be more
appreciative of my society and
abilities.
At this moment his atteuti on
was attracted by the sweet sing
ing OF a canary in cage inside
the window; and presently, when
the song was finished, he saw
his master approach the cage
and reward the bird with a lump
of sugar.
"Ah!' said the donkey. full of
jealousy, 81 see now why my
master thinks SO little of me. 1t
is because l do not wear a pretty
yellow coat and sing to him
like the canary"
So saying, he ran straightwaY
to his masters barn, knocked
over a bucket of yellow paint,
and rolled in it until his hide
was colored a beautiful brindle;
then fastening back to the
window, he stuck his head in
side and began to bray in his
sweetest tone.
Then his master rose from his
chair, but, instead of calling the
donkey pet names and inviting
him to dine OIL the contents of
the sugar bowl he brought a
club and snote him. saying:
"Confouud a donkey, anyhow.
That bray was enough to raise
the roof; and just look at the
paint the ass has wasted on him
self. Wonder what the critter
will be up to next?'
And the very next day the
man sold the donkey to ali itin>
Grant merchant who CHANGED to
be passing, and used the pro-
ceeds toward buying himself
Crawford bicycle from tlatil>
away Bros.
Moral: If natu,e gave you
the voice of all ass, there's no
use trying to set yourself up as
a canary bird, unless you want
to drive people away. Crawford
Bicycles are sure winners.

ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
Topic of an Address Made by MT. B.
 T. Hargrove.

Washington, April 25.-An address was delivered one evening last week at Rauscher's by MT. B. T. Hargrove of London on the subject of an Anglo American alliance. He said that the whole system of international law is based on the fact that nations have mutual interests; that they must have relations with one another. Cut oil from Europe and Asia, America would be ruined. It's interests had grown immensely during the past ten years in China, and with a canal across the isthmus it would reach enormous pro portions. He contended that the in terests of America and not only Eng land. but Canada, Australia and all other English speaking countries, are mutual. It was a humanitarian inter est.
 'It is charged he added, that Eng land has always maintained a policy of grab, and I do not propose to white wash the past or to make apologies, but such is not the policy of England today. If it were she would be doomed to ruin. It is too small. too narrow policy. As Lord Salisbury said re- gently, all he desired to do now was to preserve freedom of trade through out the world that all may meet in business intercourse upon plane Of equality, as friends instead of foes. That is the policy of England today.
 England feels as America feels to- day for humanity. So maintain that it is fer the best interests of England and America to form an alliance. If it were for their own selfish interests it would fail, as it should justly fail. Rome fell because of her own aggrand- dement's, and Spain is already fallen because she had bled her colonies to death But the union of all the Eng fish speaking people would form pow CT which would dominate the world, preserve peace in place of war, benefit not only themselves, but all humanity, and mold the character of the world"
