A QUICK CHANGE
Adaptable Juniors Picnic Merrily
+ in December.
(PriZe,)

0NE day in December a party
~ Of twenty girls and boys
planned sleighride. We had
hired team and sleigh for the
purpose and everyone was to
bring twenty-five cents to buy
candy, oranges and bananas to
eat on the way. Fur robes were
prepared and warm wraps were
awaiting everyone. Meanwhile
the weather changed and it grew
warm and pleasant. The sun
shone and the wind stopped howl
ing. The weather became like
summer. The appointed day
came, the weather was such as
we have on the first of September.
Everything seemed to have the
spirit of summer. The birds sang
and twittered, the cocks crowed.
Everyone was enjoying the sun
light and fresh air. Everybody
longed to our party. They were
vexed and disappointed, so We
planned on having picnic in
stead Of sleighride. We started
off to the mounds early after din
ner, full Of the spirit Of summer.
There we played on the rocks
and climbed trees and gathered
acorns which had been hidden
under the snow. Some Of the
boys went fishing in the pond ad-
joining, but without success. We
had our supper on the rocks under
a large. tree and played until
lomeward quite content. Everyone
han a sleighride: would have been.

A MATTER OF BUSINESS
Secretary Taft Discusses the Panama
Canal Situation.

Cincinnati, May 27.-The celebra-
ton of the twenty-fifth anniversary Of
the Cincinnati Commercial club closed
with a banquet at which the speakers
discussed the questions OF the day.
Secretary of War Taft made the
principal speech on Policy and Prac-
tice," saying:
"If the Panama canal were inside
the territory of the United States OF
course all material used on the canal
could pay duty or be bought in the
United States. but as the construction
OF the canal is a number OF days
journey from the tariff wall of the
United States, it presents exactly the
same case as is presented in the case
Of the Philippine Islands. Now, if
congress wants US to pay more than
France was willing to pay, then they
are welcome to do so. but in the abb
sence of a rule we feel we must carry
out the rule that applies. That law
requires that, prices and quality being
the same, we must buy American
goods. In the absence Of a rule we
feel bound by our trust to build as
cheaply as possible. We submitted
the question to congress on this Inns
asking congress to lay down a rule.
If there is no rule we must build as q
business man would build. Now there
is no question of protection or free
trade. 1t is merely duty under the
law as it stands. If the rule or law s.
changed we must change
He spoke of the work of the com-
missioner on the canal and praised
highly the men who have been put ae
the head of the work. He then spoka
of the relation of the government to
the railroads.

the discussion has had a. much widen
scope than is necessary. The guess
