Al A0in7aI Story For
Little Folks
@ Lion S Love Letter

Soon after the lion fell In love he
thought 1t would be just right for him
to write a letter to. his sweetheart, and
he started out to find pen and ink with
which to do it. Almost the first person
that he came across was the porcupine,
who was just bristling with quills-the
finest sort Of quilts for letter writing.
Hello, Porky!' cried the lion. II
want to borrow one Of your good quilts
to write letter."
II can't spare one Of my quilts just
at present." replied the porcupine.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1903-08-29
ooh, MY! Oh, MY! Oh, MEL"


"But I'll tell you what I'll do. Youcan
tell me what you want to say and I'll
write the letter for you"
''No, indeed" cried the lion. II must
write it myself"
"Not with my quills," answered the
porcupine. "You might break one Of
them, and I would never get it back
lgain."
"You won't let me have quill! You
refuse me, the king of beasts! Then I
will teach you lesson. 1 will eat you
nlive!'
And with that the lion opened his
great big mouth and brought his jaws
down with full force upon the little
porcupine The next moment he was
bowling with pain, while blood flowed
from a hundred gashes in his mouth
made by the sharp points of the quilts.
ooh, my! Oh, my! Oh, mev he
screamed in pain. "What have you
done?'';'
II Haven't done anything" answered
the porcupine. II haven't moved from
this spot" ~-:
.'tOh, my! Look at the blood!' cried
, the hop..a 49,
''It will make good ink for your let
ter" said the porcupine. ?
- You are unkind to me-" said the lion.
"'And you tried to be unkind to me-
said the porcupine. ~,
And then the lion turned on his heel
! and went home much wiser animal
than ever before. Chicago Tribune.

feet state. He forgets that the wage
workers are just as tyrannous when
they have the power as any capitalist
can be. I am certain that if he rea-
lized these things he would quit talk
ing of complete reform and aim to
help along such reforms as hum anity
is ripe for. 1t is necessary for the re-
former to be a little in the lead of the
masses, occupying positions somewhat
in advance of them; but if he goes too
far from them, If he gets lost in the
mists of speculative systems that the
masses cannot pierce with their I'M
derstanding he will be followed only
by enthusiasts like himself and by
persons who never care to think for
themselves but will embrace any the
DRY that promise to throw down the
wealthy classes and make life easier
for the workers.
Mr.: Thompson says it is impossible
to answer questions as to details in
the social site system. I submit that
If q man like him, who is certainly
far ahead of the masses in intellectual
power and has devoted years of deep
study to the subject, cannot give q
reasonable answer to these questions,
how can we expect the masses, who he
says will have to decide these ques-
tons, to answer them without serious,
perhaps fatal blunders? If the blind
lead the blind, where will it end?

Another Scare from a Scientist.

AnOInCr SCUrc from a SC1ent1St.
DR.. Wiley, government chemist, is
sues warning against soda water
and iced tea. To drink these hot
weather mixtures is suicidal, accord
ing to the wise man. Worse than this,
however, says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, is the official announcement
that vegetables are not what they are
cracked up to be. Dr. Wiley tells us
that the preparation Of the soil for
vegetable growth is a fruitful cause
of disease. He further says that meat
eating is expedient in hot weather as
in cold. But he recommends bread
and butter as especially blameless.
Yesterday "science" said thumbs up.
To-day it confuses the understanding
by unexpectedly ordering thumbs
down. Tomorrow it will be wiggle
waggle.

Cabbaxe Instead Of Flower.

William Miller, of Barnesboro, Pa,
sent away last spring for flower seeds
to plant above the new mound which
had been raised over his wife's final
resting place. The old man cannot
read, but he planted the seeds which
were sent to him, trusting that beau
tiful flowers would bloom. With
relatives and friends he went to
the grave the other day and found
that, as the result of an. error, he had
planted cabbage seeds over the
grave. The mound was marked BY a
luxurious growth Of cabbages instead
Of flowers. sz #

WATSON OBJECTS TO JAIL FARE.
Also Protested Against Scrutiny Of His
Letters bv the Warden.

James M A. Watson, who is in jail charg-
ed with the embezzlement of District funds.
is understood to be very much dissatisfied
with prison life. The fare at the Jail does
not suit him. Warden Harris agrees that
the service is not to be compared with what
Watson has heretofore enjoyed, and thinks
an improvement on the present manner of
serving meals should be made. He favors
providing a dining room for his guests, but
Congress has not seen fit to spend any
money in this direction.
Requests for Watson to be made an eX-
ception to the rule and for the prison rules
to be set aside for him have been denied by
the warden He is treated as other prison
ers are, and permitted to have fruit and
such food as the rules of the institution
permit the occupants of cells to receive from
their friends Pie and cake are allowed
only on holidays, when turkey and chicken
are also permitted to pass through the gates
after inspection.
Watson wanted his meals served by
terer, but the prison cook, who is sometimes
a prisoner, is deemed good enough chef
for prison purposes.
A test of the warden's authority came yes
terday, when DIR. Hickling was called to the
prison to make a careful examination of
Watson, who was reported to be i'll. He
found him suffering from slight affection
of the heart, caused by the alleged excess
sive use of tobacco. Because of this con-
dition he directed that Watson be put on a
sick diet which is a slight improvement on
the regular prison fare. He will get rice,
toast and tea, and possibly few other
prison delicacies that are not the regular
menu. The statement was made that coun-
sci for Watson would make an effort to
have the prison rules changed by the court
in order to meet the alleged needs of the
prisoner. Such action has not yet been
taken
Another exercise of the warden's authori-
ty was made yesterday in the matter of
sending out mail matter. The prison rules
require that all letters be examined before
they leave the prison. Watson objected to
his letters being read, and the warden was
threatened with prosecution in the event
of his opening any letters. Two letters were
turned over to the warden to be mailed and
he laid them aside. Then Assistant Attor-
ney General Robb was consulted, and he
promptly decided that the warden was in
the right. Thus the mail matter incident
closed, and Watson's letters will be scru-
tinized as are those Of the other prisoners

ON UNION STATION SITE.
Buildings to Be Sold to Make Way
for Construction.


The ground for the union station is rapid
ly being cleared Of its distractions and
within a very short time 1t will be ready
for the beginning Of active building opera
lions. The railroad company has purchased
all the property 1t could secure at what
the officials regarded as fair prices and for
several months past 1t has been condemn
ing other property TO secure title under au-
thority given it by the act of Congress pro-
viding for the union station. Many OF the
parcels bought by the railroad company
are incumbered with brick or frame build
ings and to dispose Of these the company
has adopted the method of selling at auc-
ton all the material in the buildings on
condition that it shall be removed within
thirty days of the day of sale. One such
sale was held in the early summer, when
eighty-four houses were disposed of. Many
persons have purchased the material in the
houses at private sale, so that the COM
pany will not be compelled to sell all of it's
property at auction. Another sale will be
held. however, tomorrow, beginning at 10
o'clock in the morning and continuing until
the houses are all disposed of. There are
f1fty-one buildings on the list for sale to-
morrow. AuctiOneer James w. Radcliffe
will off1ciate. The conditions of all the
sales require purchasers of each parcel to
give bond or cash in the sum Of $500 for the
ings and the clearing Of the ground within
thirty days. The buildings scheduled for
sale tomorrow include brick coal office

Money Lavishly.

The New York World of this morning
says that Charles F. w. Nelly. who fig
ured prominently In the Cuban postal scam
dial three years ago, is now living in quiet
elegance in New York. Nicely was charged
with the endorsement Of 500, 600 Of postal

ception of an occasional appearance at
Washington. dropped completely out of
sight. except to his most intimate friends.
Some of these friends carried reports to
Indiana that Nicely was living in New York
and cutting quite figure, both socially and
in business way. They reported that he
seemed to be enjoying the greatest pros
rooms in one of the principal hotels. and
that he was entertaining with lavish
hand These reports also said 1t was I'M
