A True Story.


As the story is absolutely true. one
may be permitted to tell it.
A certain very little girl had beer
taught to say her baby prayers each
evening, these including "Our Father,
who art in heaven" Now I lay me-"
. and perhaps some. others.
One day the tiny miss. being in a
conversational mood, asked q question
Of an adult friend, and this was it:
(Which one of the prayers do you
like the Dest?"
oh, I don't know" the friend re-
piled. (Which one do you like best?'
u fink" the wee maiden answered.
cat I like at one best bout the wart
in heaven"
"About-what-." was the astouished
exclamation.
Bout the wart in heaven
(Which one is that?'
"W'y, you know. course. It's the
one at gins Our Favver who wart in
heaven."-San Francisco Chronicle.

To Guard Americans.

Washington, D. C.-The cruiser Min.

Chester, and the only vessel Of the
American Navy in European waters, is
going for a cruise in the Baltic Sea.
and it was admitted in Government
circles that the Minneapolis will make
for Cronstadt, where she will be used
as q rescue ship for Americans and
possibly other foreigners in st. Peters
burg if the strike situation should be-
come such that they were forced tc
flee.
At the Stc'e Department it was de
clared that there is but little possibility
that the Minneapolis will be put tc
such use, but full arrangements have
been made for the presence of the YES
sci as near as possible to the storm
centre. The Minneapolis cannot 60 tc
Cronstadt without the permission Of
the Russian Government. At the first
sign of danger to Americans, however.
the necessary permission will be asked,
and there is no doubt that 1t will be
granted forthwith.
