arms. How many million pounds w,,,.
saved TO the British nation by that sur

Having accepted the terms Lord Kitch-
ener was authorized to offer us we never
sought to have them modified. What we
sought for was not n modification OF the
terms OF the peace treaty but the imme-
diate help OF which our people are In sore
need.
Having come to plead a cause which
should speak eloquently enough for itself,
we are sorely disappointed by the result
AT least We have had every reason TO
consider that We have failed In our err
rand.
lt Is assumed that we did not take
kindly 20 a loan. That suppositlon was
gratultous As TO the shape in which
material help should be given we had
neither the right nor the will TO pick and
choose. But having seen no prospect OF
receiving such help we appealed In urg-
ent need 10 all the nations OF the world

An Illustration OF the truth OF this
proyerb Is found In Mr.. j. G. Bertram's
book. "The Harvest OF the Sea" IL
seems that a monopoly OF the extern
slve fisheries OF Scotland and England
once came into the hands Of a man
who kept his agents at the principal
stations and required them to furnish
him all facts that came TO their knowI-
edge.
At one of his stations In the far north
the fishing had been unsuccessful for
the greater part of the season, and
there was no prospect OF Improvement
when he looked into the matter. Upon
examining his agents letters from
that place for some years back he
found by comparison OF dates that
mt certain place herrings were likely
to be found. lie accordingly instructed
his agent to send his boats to that
spot.
The fishermen laughed ut the idea
OF man sitting some hundreds OF
miles AWAY and telling them where to
get fish, but as his orders were posi-.
tive they had to obey, and the conse-
quence was that they returned next
morning loaded with behring's.

Our Unit OF Value.


The real. actual unit of value In the
United States Is the silver quarter
The dime Is out Of place. In the bar
you get two drinks for quarter; you
buy two cigars for a quarter. One ci-
gar for 10 cents seems plebeian. so you
take two for quarter. In the restau-
rant you are ashamed to give the wait
er 10 cent tip and cannot afford to
give him quarter. but moral coward
ice drives you to let him have the
quarter. The quarter Is the most beau
tiful silver coin In the world II IL OF
the most convenient size. Mix up

In your pocket. and your sense of touch
balks at distinguishing between them.

All purchasers of folding beds do not
buy them solely for the sake of saving
room. According to manufactures,
some people with ample house room at
command buy them, for one reason. so
that the rooms In which they are placed
can be put to other uses than as bed
rooms.
This manufacturer mentioned one
New York family In whose house ore
eleven fine folding beds. Any room In
