But Only Few Years Ago Was Occu-

Starts Off We'll in His New Role
A Match for Others.

Prince Hohenlohe is the second
prime minister to resign his office on
account of government policies in
China. The first was Count Yamagata
OF Japan who disagreed with his en-
peror in the course to be pursued.
Prince Hohenlohe found his position
Of imperial chancellor Of Germany un-
tenable when he differed so widely
from his emperor as to call the atti-
tude Of the latter toward the Chinese
question sentimental and impuIsiye
interference" Prince Hohenlohe IS 81
years old and is naturally less i'm
pulsive than the emperor, who is Just
Al. Without doubt, however, the cool,
conservative opinion Of the non-mili-
tary people of Germany was with the
chancellor, and he could have kept his
position had he not been old and In ill
health, and unfit to combat the per-
sonal feeling Of the emperor. The
parting of the two was cordial: the
emperor dined his adviser and kissed
him on both cheeks, thanked him for
his faithful service, bowed him out,
hang down the curtain on Hohenlohe
and rang it up on Count Won Buelow
and a new policy.
The new imperial chancellor, says
the excellent Little Chronicle of Chi

statesmen go. He is but fifty years
old, and has the impulsiveness and
daring of the emperor. He is an i'm

! WHY DOGS CANNOT READ.

A great many years ago, even before au-
tomobiles were invented, Mr.. Dog used to
live with Mr.. Man, just as he does now.
Any one would think that he should have
learned company manners and know how
to behave almost as nicely as your eldest
sister when there Is company to dinner,
but any one of you who is acquainted
with very many dogs will know that he
did nothing of the kind. This Mr.. Dog
OF whom / speak did commence to learn
great deal, but he found that there APP
peared to be drawbacks too much
One day he was watching Mr.. Man
churn, when Mr. Man said that IL Mr.
Dog wanted to have more fun than he had
ever heard OF he would better learn to
churn. Mr.. Dog was always looking for
fun, and he said that would be just the
very thing he had been wanting to learn
for long time. Mr.. Man rugged con-
trivance at once, which made the churn
work beautifully whenever Mr.. Dog walk
ed up little row Of Stats. Mr.. Man said
that the greatest fun OF all was to be tied
fast, so he tied Mr. Dog fast to the string
Mr.. Dog walked up the Stats and had fun
for quite a while, and then he found that
he was so very tired that it would be
more fun to lie down and rest. He called
to Mr.. Man to come and let him loose. but
Mr.. Man was busy having fun chopping
wood and so did not hear Mr.. Dog, who
had to keep on walking, so that the Stats
would not slide out from under him and
leave him suspended by the neck.
After a long time the milk was all
churned into butter, and Mr.. Man came
and let Mr.. Dog loose. Mr.. Dog did not
even say Much obliged. Mr.. Man" but
he crawled off and lay down and slept
for two days and nights without ever
waking up.
A few days later Mr.. Mans SON Tom
my was working his best at carting ap-
piles in a little wagon from the orchard to
the cellar. He was very tired and wanted
to stop, but he did not dare, for his faith
er had told him to take them all in. He
smiled behind his ears when he saw Mr..
Dog coming. and he looked just as happy
as only a boy can when he smiles that
way.
Good morning. Tommy" said Mr.. Dog
as he came up. You look as happy as a
puppy with a ave-pound tenderloin
steak"
"Oh, yes; 1 am having such fun here"
replied Tommy. Then he asked Mr.. Dog
II he did not want to have some fun, too;
but Mr.. Dog remembered about the churn,
when he could not stop when he wanted
to, and he said he guessed he would try
to get along without fun that day. But
Tommy said that 1t was just perfectly
glorious and that If Mr.. Dog would only
Try II ne Woulu lCt MN lOOA al MS PlC-
ture book. That sounded nice, so Mr..
Dog let Tommy harness him to the little
wagon. Tommy piled the apples into the
wagon and Mr. Dog had to draw the load
to the house, and 1t was all up hill all the
way, too. After four or five trips Mr..
Dog became tired and wanted to stop, but
Tommy would not unharness him, and so,
OF course, he had to go on.
Tommy made Mr.. Dog keep pulling
these heavy loads until they had taken all
the apples to the cellar. Then Tommy
embarrassed him and asked him how he
liked learning to draw the wagon. II

MENiNTEREsTED IN BIRD BILE

The aFticle-in another column on this
page. entitled Protection of North Am
erican Birds. is particularly timely, even
In a local sense.
The bird bill is now before the Georgia
legislature. That bill seeks the protection
of "all wild birds and all other than
game BIRDS. 1t is probable that the
vote on the bill will be taken Monday.
1t is delightful to know that many 9TH
ers besides the bird Lovers club" of
Atlanta, are interested in the passage OF
this bill.
Hon. o. B. Stevens, Georgia commission
er of agriculture, give the bill his hearty
endorsement. and has signihed his inten-
ton of doing all in his power to further
Then Mr.. William butcher. of New
York, secretary of the Ornithological
society, and DR.. T. s. Pal
u1er of the biological survey of the de-
partment of agriculture at Washington
city, are in Atlanta. strongly interested
in the bills going through.
Mr. Frederick, of Macon county, pre-
scented the bill in the house. and Mr..
Chappell, of Columbus, will present it in
the senate.
Thus. we see, the men are interested.
That augurs well for the success of the
movement.
Science is interested, the United States
government speaking through Dr. Pal
mer, of washington City. and Mr.. Stew
ems. of Georgia.
humanity is interested. Mr.. butcher
giving his time and effort as a labor Of
love: and all the Bird Lovers with Mrs.
Julius Brown at their head. watching the
Georgia legislature with keenest interest.
When science and humanity both call
for a certain law, it should speedily find
a place on the statute books.
And so it will be with the bird bill in
Georgia.

COMPOSITE ANIMALS.

Here is a game that is a little too long
for recess, but just right for those girls
who take their luncheon to school and
then eat it so quickly that they have for
ty minutes or so to wait before school
begins in the afternoon.
The girls who play it choose sides, -
and there can be as many on a side as
you can get although there should not be
less than four. Each side chooses the
name of some animal, being care
full not to let the other
side know their choice. There
is a captain of each side. After the ami
mails have been chosen, one side goes to
the blackboard, and each girl makes a
straight line. Those lines form part Of
the outline Of the animal which that side
has chosen. The lines may be joined to-
gether or not, but each line must be part
Of the outline of the animal chosen.
The captain of, the side may decide
whether to have each girl draw one or
two lines, but each girl must draw the
same number. The object is to sketch
on the blackboard enough of the outline
Of the animal so that an equal number OF
new lines drawn by the other side and
connecting the old lines will complete
the picture. The side first at the board
is very careful not to let the other side
know what animal they intend to picture,
and in drawing II they make the outlines
as disconnected as possible, 50 that the
other side may be misled into making a
finished picture Of the wrong animal. Thls
they will 40 in a great many cases, but If
they do get the right one and finish the
drawing in the same number of strokes
used by their opponents, they take their
turn at beginning the drawing, while the
other side must complete 1t. But If the
guessers do not draw the right animal. or
II in drawing ii they use one stroke more
than did the others in their half of the de-
sign, they must guess again and complete
another picture. So the game goes on UNI
til the bell rings, when the side which has
started the most pictures is he winner.

In and Into.

Much confusion characterizes the
use of these two propositions. Stor-
month gives the simplest and best
rule concerning them which we have
come across. He says: "Into comes
after verb denoting motion, and
in follows verb denoting rest"
This gives the idea comprehensive
ly, but it must not be taken literal
ly. Thus it is entirely proper to
say "He fell in the street" The
person referred to may have been
walking or standing still when he
fell. He was, however, already in
the street, and therefore when he
fell he did not move into it. II,
however, he was in a building or
other structure facing the street and
he fell, landing in the street, it
would then be proper to say "He
fell into the street"
In is frequently an adverb, and
in such cases it should be used after
a verb denoting motion. For eI-
ample, it is correct TO say "He came
in" of one who had been asked to
enter a house. But if proposition
were to be used in this connection
the phrase would be "He came into
the house"
Those who will commit to memo
ry the rule quoted will soon be sure
of their ground when they have oc-
casion to use in or into.
