Here is Chinese fable with NOR
al A sparrow had its nest halfway
up a tree, in the top Of which dwelt
a monkey. After 4 heavy rain the
sparrow, snug and dry in its warm
nest, saw the monkey shaking his
dripping body, and could not refrain
from addressing him thus: Com
rade, your hands are shIlful, your
strength great, your intellect clever;
why do you live in such a miserable
state? Why not build a snug nest
ike mine2'' The monkey, angered at
the complacency Of the sparrow, re-
piled: "Am I to be Knocked by an
evil creature like you? Your nest is
snug, is it2'' and so saying, he threw
the nest to the ground Moral: Don't
talk with a passionate man.-LondOn

The First Outlying Acquisition.

Navassa island-which lies south Of
Hayti in the Caribbean sea, and can be
sighted from the decks Of vessels pass
ing from New York to the isthmus-
was the only outlying possession Of
the United States until we acquired
Porto Rico and the Philippines. 1t is
covered with phOsPhates, but was IN
inhabited until a Baltimore company
discovered its riches and sent a gang
Of men to work the mines. It became
part Of the United States under a
law Of congress, passed many years
ago, which extended the sovereignty
Of our government over any uninhab-
tied territory discovered occupied by
our citizens.-Indianapo News.

Point for Van Ingen.

Of the objections concerning al
legged irregu1arity of procedure in pass
ing the ordinance, the court says they
cannot be raised by private parties,
but only by the state. While no for
NAL acceptance of the ordinance had
been filed, says the court, nevertheless
the company was shown to be in pos
session of and acting under an ordi-
nance selling tickets at reduced rates
and performing obligations required
by it. After discussing the provisions
of the statutes as to publication, the
court says that under the circumstan-
ces of the case cit may be doubtful
whether any court would feel that val
liable franchises should be forfeited,
even at suit of the state, even though
it might conclude there was some ir-
regularity in the proceedings"

Gus Scheduling, Who Was Reported Miss
ing, Missed Train in Chicago.

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Gus Scheduling from his
home in this city has been cleared up
and the missing man is back at his
place in the tannery.
It seems that the family Of the man
were undu1y worried about his where
abouts. According to the story told
Scheduling had gone to Chicago to
make some purchases and missed a
train and on this account he decided to
remain for a day with friends in the
city. When he failed to arrive on
schedule time the members of the
family at once decided that all was not
we'll and reported the case to the police.
The police spent many hours searching
for the man, but of course it was not
possible for them to find him in Keno
sha. Schueing had good time and
greatly enjoyed his little vacation
Notwithstanding the trouble it caused
his family and the police.
