Two phrases-one a hypocritical
sophism, the other an idiotic fair sounding
nothing.
The only identity of interest visible is
that this administration is Identical with
Great Britain, insomuch as they both
seem to want the earth.
Robbers of other peoples land have
trouble. Britain has plenty of it and it
is her desire that we have an identity of
trouble along with her Then with that
fellow feeling aroused, an alliance, they
think is almost assured.
Instead of producing harmony an iden-
tity of interest often produces just the
opposite condition. Two or more persons
struggling for the same thing rarely pro-
duce happy results Britain wants the
markets of the world. We want the
markets of the world. Every nation
wants the markets of the world. Here IS
identity in great punches. Yet this same
identity of interest has caused untold
trouble and will cause trouble to come
The very fact that We are struggling
along competing lines should in itself be
sufficient to &c er US from hampering all
lance of any kind. Instead there should
be that absolute freedom and independ-
ence that we have always had
1T is folly" said Washington, lin our
nation to look for disinterested favors
from another. and 1t must pay with
portion of its independence for whatever
it may accept under that character

The history of every nation proves the
emptiness of the phrase Blood is thicker
than water Where was this sentiment
during the wars OF York and Lancaster?
Where was it when the parliamentary
forces under Cromwell fought the forces
Of King Charles? Where was it during
our revolution when the minions of King
George melted the savages TO butcher the
families Of the revolted colonists?
Is it not physical condition created TO
suit the present political requirements Of
Great Britain?
Witness our own stupendous struggle
between sister States in our late rebellion
when swords were warmed in fratricidal
blood. then wonder what the phrase
means. Upon analysis. it is discovered
that it means nothing-absolutely moth
ing In a physical sense only is ii true
Blood is thicker than water. and the dis
coverer of this momentous truth might
have gone further and discovered also
that blood is thicker than atmosphere
In the discussions that may arise in
Congress upon this question, the unself-
ish American who loves his country for
itself alone. will sadly miss the voice and
presence of '.Richelieu'' Robinson.

An Ugly Fire Originates from an Tx
ploding Gas Stove.
! The handsome residence of DIR. Il. ~.
Skinner, corner of EdentOn and WIZ

ire yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock.
1t is believed that a gas or OIL stove
in Mrs. SINNERS bed room exploded ana
caused the confiagration. The names

we're discovered. DIR. Skinner and the
servants were the only ones IN the
rouse at the time. The fire companies
we're quick in responding TO the alarm,
out as the water was turned on the

he street was flooded instead of the

With two streams playing upon the fire

The water thrown inside Of the house
id great damage and necessitated the
lemoval of all the furniture from the
sal'say and parlors.
The Skinner residence il one of the
,andsomest in Raleigh, and has for sew
raj yeaTs been one OF the most beauti-
al adornments in that section of the
,ity.
The damage done 10 the residence is
stimated anywhere from $500 TO 81 800.

Deparcieux kept record of 4s,54O
deaths in a French parish. He found
that 112 married women to IA unmar-
ried and 43 married men to 6 bachelors
reached the age of 30. According TO
French figures, by marrying at 30 a
man adds II years to his theoretical and
statistical chances of life. BY marry
ing at 40 he adds years. In Massa-
chusetts in 1894 1853 of the 2O5 ceute-

positively rich, and even the white meat
that is generally dry, has moist, spicy
taste.
This is his recipe for coast turkey,
which he kindly consented to give the
household department.
Clean the turkey with as little hand
ling as possible and rinse with water in
which a little baking soda has been
dissolved. Now break up about half a
pint OF bread crumbs and into the
crumbs chop two links Of pork sausage.
Stuff the turkey with this mixture and

salt pork on the breast of the turkey.
Remove the pork just before the turkey
Is taken from the oven.
When the meat is carved its flavor will
be found very superior. This is particu-

PET RAT ACTS MEAN.
nit Its Tiny Mistress, Who Had to He
Taken to the Hospital.


Children sometimes adopt strange
animals for pets. In Philadelphia two
little girls can be seen almost every
day playing with a pair of tiny ALI
gators, and ncighbor of theirs, three
year-old Violet Ricketts,, of 1925 Sum
mer street, took "a great fancy to a rat.
Last week she was carried to the Hahne-
mann hospital suffering intensely from
bite in the hand from the animal.
The rodent which caused the child's
injuries belongs to the next-door neigh
Dor of the Ricketts,, and was captured
in trap several years ago and tanned.
II is in the habit of running about the
neighborhood, and for long time has
been frequent visitor at the Ricketts,
house.
The child and the rat became great
friends. The other afternoon the lit
lie girl was feeding it when big dog
belonging to her father came in the
room. The rat became angry and
jumped at the baby, catching the little
ones hand with its teeth. The child's
cries brought her mother, who tried tc
set the dog on the rat, but the dog re-
fused to interfere, as the pair had been
long friends.
The rat then turned upon Mrs. Rick
etts, who had hard time to prevent ii
biting her. She finally threw piece OF
wood at the little animal, and he ran
through small hole in the kitchen by
which it had been accustomed to go and
come to the adjoining house. The child
was taken to the hospital, and the physi
clans found it necessary TO take five
stitches in the wound Chicago Chron.

KILLED HIS KEEPER.
How an Elephant In India Was Pun.
ished for the Crime.

Did you ever see an elephant
whipped? l don't suppose you would
ever forget it if you did. They fire.
quently do it in India, because ele-
plants are very cbstreperous at times.
Recently an elephant, Abdul, was
convicted by court-martial for killing
his keeper, and sentenced to so lashes
and two years imprisonment.
Two elephants led Abdul to an open
space, and in the presence of the whole
battery the punishment began. The
culprit trumpeted in fear, and made
an unearthly noise.
There were IA elephants on one side,
and the officers and men of the battery
on the other three. In the center of this
hollow square stood Lalla (No. y, the
fogger, and the prisoner. The latter
was chained by the four legs to as many
heavy iron pegs, and could not move.
Fastened to Lalla's trunk was an i'm
mense cable chain. When all was ready
the major gave the word, and down
came the chain with a resounding
whack. Abdul roared for all he was
worth. Fifty times was the operation
repeated, and then Abdul was taken to
a compound, where he was to remain
a prisoner for two years.-Answers.
