THE VANISHING CAKE

When caught sight of the choc-

fast. One day when I was small, our
hired girl was going to bake choc-
olate cake. When she was ready
to bake it I came along and asked
her If she would not bake one for
me. She said Eyes I watched
her get the cakes ready and put
them into the oven. Then I went
out Of the room and did not come
back for a while. When I came
back was surprised to see a very
nice cake standing on the table, and
thought it was for me. I did not

THE SAFE WAY TO HUNT.

One time was out hunting with Uncle
Henry in Little Rock. There wild cats
and owls are plentiful, and hunters who
have to sleep out of doors all night
dread it.
One Saturday morning uncle said he
was going hunting and asked me if T
wanted to go. I said I did, and after
breakfast we took our guns and started
for the mountain When arrived
there it was about 2 o'clock in the after
noon. After lunch we set out for the
summit of the mountain. We did not
kilt-much game before shutdown, We
intended to start for home at shutdown,
but uncle would not go. 1t was about
10 o'clock at night when I saw a wild
cat coming toward us. I fired at it, but
I do not know whether I killed it or not.
I just dropped my gun and ran for home
as fast as T could
The next morning uncle came home
with the wild cat shot at and the two
guns. He said the next time I had bet

THE GROWING DEFICIT.


In his thanksgiving proclamation
the President calls attention to the
fact that 1.-The year that has closed
has been one of peace within our
borders, as we'll as between us and
other nations" The harvests have
been abundant. he says, and the peo-
pie and the government have prosper
ed. No one will deny the correctness
Of the statement, nor will there be OBJ
lection to the returning of thanks to
the Most High for the condition of
prosperity in which the country finds
itself.
But, isn't it bit disappointing to
know that, in the midst of our peace
and prosperity-when affairs are run
ming smoothly along in their proper
channel and there is no occasion for
extra expense-the governments de-
felt is heavy and growing? On the
same day that President Roosevelt is
sued his proclamation the Treasury
Department made public it's statement
for October, showing the deficit for
the month to be nearly $4,000,000. Ex-
cept for the payment into the treasury
of more than $1,000, 900 by the st.
Louis Exposition the shortage would
have been more than S., 000, 900, or at
the rate of s6O,OO0,OOO year. For
four months, one-t third of the year,
the deficit is $21 SO9, O06. And there are
reasons for thinking that the expen-
4 IL IA CT Faxr he.
have been kept down as much as pos
sible by deferred payments, in order
to make a good ante-election showing
for the administration.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Taylor predicts that the surplus of
the remaining months of the year will
wipe out the deficit up to date. But
that is merely an expression of hope
full opinion, for which there seems to
be in sight no justification. During
the period elapsed of the fiscal year
the War Department has cost $5,000,-
600 more, the navy $4,000, 900 more and
the civil and miscellaneous payments
have been 100000 more than for
the corresponding period last year.
These expenditures, Of course, were
authorized by Congress. Upon Con-
gres, which is Republican, and upon
the administration, which is Republi-
can, must rest the burden of respon-
sibility for this very bad showing in
national housekeeping in time of
peace and prosperity.
The Republican party claims to be
the party of business sense" Is
there business sense shown in the con-
tinued increase of expenses over in
come? If a private enterprise were run
on the same plan, how long would 1t
be able to keep out of bankruptcy?
The country, being great and rich is
in no danger of the bankruptcy court
yet awhile. But it is not so great and
rich that it can afford to stand for
reckless extravaganza in the conduct
of its affairs
