Like the Three Taiiors OF Tooley street"
From the indianapolis Journal: The
German newspaper publishers OF Mis-
souri seem to be taking themselves too
seriously. The total number OF Ger
man newspapers published In Missouri
is thirty-eight, OF which six are pub
lished daily, twenty-five weekly. and
the rest semi-weehy or monthly. II
every German newspaper publisher In
Missouri was present at the ST. Louis
meeting. which is not at all probable,
the total attendance would have num-
bered thirty-eight. AS a popular dem
onstration this does not greatly out
class the three tailors OF Tooiey
street" Nor is there any reason to
Americans In Missouri are excited
about the alleged Misrepresentation
concerning the attitude OF the Ger.
man government or the relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
There was no occasion for the meet
ing nor for the protestations regarding
the loyalty OF German-Americans
which no one questions. There are
over 1000 English newspapers pub
lished in Missouri. II the publishers
OF these papers should hold a meeting
and pass resolutions condemning the
thirty-eight Germans for trying to or
ganlze a class sentiment on national
lines there would be a fine state OF
brotherly love among the newspaper
publishers In Missouri.

Turtle as a Fox Trap.

c. R. Perry, of Herricll, Pa. has been fattening 20-pound snapping turtle all winter. One Sunday his turtleship was taken out of the barrel and allowed to wander about the yard. Early one morning recently Perry was aroused by the noise of scufle in the yard. Re- pairing there, he found the turtle hang ing to the nose of a big fox, which had been stealing from the henneries in the vicinity for a month. Br'er Fox was near the fence endeavorirg to get over, but his efforts were blocked by the turtle. Eventually the fox reached the next yard, but Farmer Perry followed and shot him dead. The turtle all the time retained his hold and refused to let go until the foX's nose was cut off. Then it crawled back to it's home, car rying the nose with it as a trophy.
