Story of a Pet Flying squirrel.

Several years ago I was presented
young fying-squirrel; and, as it was
too young to remember its woodland
home, it soon became a very happy
and dainty pet. had built for it's
use large, airy cage, some eighteen
inches high, nearly two feet long, and
about fifteen inches wide, as nearly as
can remember. This cage had boards
on ends, covered with a strong wire
netting, that was fine enough to pro-
tect the occupant from the attacks OF
cats or dogs or other outside enemies.
and yet open enough to admit plenty
of fresh iaf~eepstantly. At first he
was fed on milk, and he always had
water to drink whenever he wanted It.
After few weeks he could eat the
meats of nuts; and by and by he could
get the meats ont himself. This he
accomplished by boring hole through
the nut with his tiny, sharp teeth, ,but
T do not think anybody bat squirrel
could have taken the meat from nut
that way. He would amuse himself
for an hour or more at time, running
over the wires and bars of his cage.
There was GO wheelin the cage, as he
was little creature at best; and We
feared he might get injured with it.
He had little blanket, suited to his
size, and, when he took nap he
would roll himself up in it, so there
was only small white ball to be
seen. Though every member of the:
family at some time or other tried to-
watch ths tiny squirrel roll himself in
his blanket, no one ever saw the
whole process, as he seemed to know
when he was watched, and would stop
lis work, with a merry twinkle IN hiss
bright eyes, till the watchers atten-
ton was for moment arrested, and,
on glancing back, only a soft white
ball was visible
4 dainty creature was Mr. Squirrels
seeming to fully appreciate his neat
and comfortable home, supplied With
everything he needed. Hezwasareal

Heroism and q Koy Hero.

Sometimes it requires more bravery
to do little thing all alone than to
do some great thing in company with
others. Thus soldier may be hero
on the field of battle, but lack the
courage to stand up alone on a plat
form and make speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay
on "Heroism," says that genuine
heroism is persistence. AS an illus
tration he tells how his little son
Waldo on his way to school had to
pass a house where lived a French
family. The child heard the family
talking their native language which
he could net understand, and that
made him have a sort of superst;tious
fear of them. So Mr.. Emerson used
to walk to and from school with the
little fellow.
But one DAY he decided that the
child was old enough to overcome his
fear and pass the house OF the French
family by himself. Hewent to school
with the lad and told hi@a =
must return alone.
After school was disn

That time-honored material, cash

LOOTING MADE EASY.

Continued investigation of the meth
DDS prevailing IN the conduct of the
Cuban Department of Posts develops
rsore plainly than ever the fact that the
Havana scandal of official corruption
was made possible by an inexcusably
lax system which offered premium ON
dishonesty.
The especial pity of this is that the
United States Government is ON trial
before the world in peculiar degree
in its administration OF Cuban, Porto
Rican and Philippine affairs. Toward
the Cubans we are in honor boand to
fair dealings that shall bring their is
land in the best condition possible TO
the time when they shall be allowed to
establish an independent government.
Toward Porto Rico we are equally
bound by virtue of the glaa, confidence
reposed in American faith as that faith
was pledged to her people at the time of
General Miles's invasion of the island.
A wise and honest administration of
Philippine affairs is demanded by sheer
duty-the duty of a great and free peo-
Pile to a weaker race whom we have
seen fit to subject to our rule against
their will.

TRUST TRICKERY.

Ii Is not at all probable that the peo-
pie OF this country viii be fooled by the
crafty tactics of Republican Congress
men into believing that an earnest at
tempt to restrict or control the trust
evil was contained in the proposed
amendment to the Constitution provld
ing for Congressional authority so de-
fine, regulate, control, prohibit or dis
solve trusts. monopolies or combina-
tions.
as certain Democratic Congressman
have already pointed ont ON the floor
Of the House, the trickery of this bill Is
apparent ON its face. Although the Re
publicans nave been in power four
years, they have waited until now, only
SIX days before the end Of Congress
sional session, TO attempt such legisla-
tion. IL required a two-thirds vote TO
pass the bill. which the Republicans
could not hope TO muster in their own
strength. This would make it possible
to charge the defeat of the "anti-trust''
bill to the Democrats. The serious OBJ
lection to the passage of the bill lay in
the fact that il took away the power of
State antitrust measures without in
juring the trusts.
The bunko game attempted IN this IN
stance is eninently characteristic Of the
Republican party in its juggling with
the trust issue. The people are well
aware at this late day just how the Re-
publican party stands toward the trusts.
IL is committed to the service Of these
monopolistio aggregations OF capital.
Mark Hanna, the leader of the party, is
the official tool of the trusts, and Mr.
Mckinley is Mark Hanna's man. The
campaign expenses of the Republican
party will be betrayed by the trusts,

facts, know exactly how hopeless 1t Is
