THE HARE AND THE BOY.

a
One day as a Boy who had often
been told that his kindness of heart
would some day make him president
OF the United States. was passing
through the forest he met up with a
Hare who was painting after a hard
run. and who stopped to exclaim:
1.-THE Fox is after me ickety-split
and in another five minutes 1 shall be
overtaken and devouredt"
Say not SO" replied the Boy. Jim
my Smith is here to protect you with
his life, if necessary"
but you have no gun with which
to shoot the Fox.
But 1 have my hands and feet and
stout heart. Come up here"
And thereupon he stopped and
gathered up the Hare. and after climb
ing the nearest tree he left her in safe
ty or branch twenty feet above the
ground.
There. now. but no Fox can get
YOU said the Boy as he left her and
passed on with a further warm glow in
his youthful heart.
Facts and Moral:
The Fox came I'D.
The Hare could not hold the limb.
Down she tumbled. and the Fox de-
voured her.
In seeking to hold out the glad hand
we often use 1t to push people deeper
into the mire.=(C Copyright 1906. by

THE LOBSTER AND THE SAGE.

THE LOBSTER AND The SAGE.
One day as the Lobster was summing
himself on the sands and thinking what
a hit he would have made in grand
opera had things been a little different,
the Sage came along, smoking his pipe
and trying to figure out why all the
green waterm elons in the country came
10 New York and Brooklyn and were
allowed to kill off ten thousand people
a year
Lobster. Il don't want to make no
trouble in this world. but the more I
fed I grow.
What's the matter with being a lob
ster?" asked the wise man.
Scientists have declared that have
no brains"
That's no slur. Scientists have no
claws, for that matter"
1.-The gull can sing, but cannot"
''And many a Gull has been shot for
his singing, while you are still alive
But whales and dolphins are paint
ed in pictures and put into verse, while
the Lobster never gets show. Long
fellow wrote hundreds of lines about
Evangeline, but not a one about the
Lobster. Do you find the Lobster men
toned in Shakespeare, or Milton, or
Byron ?"
MOO. I can't say do" slowly re-
piled the Sage.
You see in the papers every day. -
continued the Lobster, that Mr.. John
Green is about to depart for Colorado,
or that Mrs. James de Forest has ar
rived on visit to Mrs. Some One Else.
but do you ever see a paragraph about
the Lobster? Does he ever arrive and
depart? Does he ever lose his purse or
meet with an auto accident? Never in
| this world"
"And what's the point you wish TO
make to the jury ?"
why. I want to be turned into a
man and give my ambition a chance to
boost me to the top
We'll that's easily done" said the
Sage as he waved his hand and passed
on.
The Lobster felt a sort of earthquake
working within him, and next he knew
he was sitting with other men of his
ilk around a summer hotel and trying
to tell a bigger lie than any one else
He will be found there this season
His biggest lies are about sharks. but
he will lie from weakfish up to whales
with praiseworthy fervor
Moral.-It's an open question, how
ever. whether the Sage hadn't better
left him a Lobster.

GREAT CHURCH EVENT
Unique Services Celebrated at Notr.
Dame Cathedral at Paris Today -
Catholic Prelztes Discus. Recent
Separation Of Church and State.

Paris, Sept. 7.lUnique service, which
attracted an enormous congregation,
was celebrated at Notre Dame cathe-
dra! this afternoon, after the conciu-
sion OF the meeting Of the bishops
and arcl1bishops, called to discuss
means of complying with the law pro-
viding for separation of church and
state, withGLt infringing on the con-
stitution of the church. The entire
French episcopate is present, this be-
irg the first occasion in which they
were gathered together in the Metro
ooii;an church since 1892, when tho
concordat was signed. Archbishop
Roverde de Cabrieres, in the course
of his address, recalled the historic
event; saying the recent deunc reunion
was brought about by the rupture Of
that solemn contract. No mention
was made of the prelate decisions.
Minister of Public Instruction BRAND,
in an interview, said he was prepared
to receive "a clerical delegation at any
time and believed that an arrangement
suitable to both the government and
church was possible, but he was de-
termined to carry out the law.

Great Harm Done by Circula-

WANTS THE JuNTA SUPPRESSED
Reports Originate in Paper Printed BY
Asitators in St. Louis-No Trut, in
Story That There is Opposition to
President Diaz - An Invesaisa-
ton.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Declaring to
be false the reports of bitter anti
American feeling in Mexico and organ
lied revolution against President
Diaz. David E. Thompson, American
ambassador, has made an exhaustive
report to the state department, setting
forth in detail the information which
could not be conveyed in previous con-
fidential dispatches He renewed his
request that in compliance with the
wishes Of Mexico's president this gov
ernment should take steps TO suppress
the Mexican revolutionary junta at
st. Louis, which publishes in Spanish
a paper called Regeneration. He con-
tends the articles that appeared in GER
tain newspapers in the United States,
discussing alleged dissatisfaction with
the administration of President Diaz
and asserting that an insurrection of
possibly far-reaching consequences is
incubating are wholly without foun-
dation, and of inestimable harm to
Mexico He characterizes the troubles
that have already occurred as nothing
more than small labor riots. Thomp-
son deplores the fact that such publi-
cations give the most exaggerated i'm
portance" to the work of men who have
fed from Mexico who continued to
endeavor to breed spirit of unrest
in that country. Thompson says the
persistency with which many Ameri-
can papers have insisted that re-
volt in Mexico against foreigners is
Imminent has created IA decided feel
ing Of unrest among foreigners and
excited the common Mexican to
thoughts of WHAT might be done along
the lines discussed in the publications.
The state department. has referred
the dispatches of Thompson to the de-
partment Of justice with view to as
certaining what measures might be
taken against the newspaper Regener-
acton and its publishers. An investi-
cation 10 now proceeding.

Russian Premier Meets Opposi-

Old Regime
DEMAND HIS RESIGNATION
stolypin, However, Re.oIuteIy Stands

Reforms-Radieal Papers Predict
Failure in the E'eetions-other
Ms~A.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 7.-Open con-
.hict between Premier Stolypin and the
'reactionists at court, due to the refus-
al of the premier to acquiesce In aban-
donment Of the proposed reforms Is re-
flected by the comment of reactionary
newspapers on the premier's note of
September s, which is now openly de-
manding retirement of Stolypin.
Svet, whose court connections are
known, while approving the institution
of drumhead courts martial for trial of
political offenders, as step in the
right direction, does not conceal its
4 dissatisfaction at the promise of re-
forms. The Russian Banner, organ Of
the League Of Russian People, and oth-
er reactionists organizations, demands
the premier's resignation, presuming
he il bidding for support of moderate
liberals. "Instead of leaning only on
true patriots" the paper adds: "Stoly-
pins declaration that no terrors can
drive the government on the way to
reaction is nonsense OF the rankest
sort. Under such pilotage our ship
can never weather the storm" Aside
from Rossia, Stolypin's personal organ.
only Professor Kovalevsky's Strana
has 81 few words Of commentator foc
the program Of reforms, which, the
papers say, WAS drafted by Stoly-
pin in accordance with the best tradi-
tions Of Russian liberalism" but with
the more radical papers Strana finds
fault with the establishment of court
martial for trial of political offenders
and other measures for restoring or
der, which, according to Strana em-
body the worst features of the policy
Of the old regime.
The attitude Of the Moscow press to-
wards the premiers announcement OF
his policy is not sympathetic. The
leaders Of the peaceful regeneration
party, who are gathering at Moscow
after touring the country in the inter-
ests Of their party, have slight hope Of
the government winning the elections,
not even with the aid Of reforms.
To q correspondent Of the Associated
Press at Moscow, NJ Guchkofi, Count
Heyden and others said they were we'll
impressed with the tone Of the pre-
mier's note, but unless distribution of
lands and removal Of restrictive laws
bearing on peasantry, old believers
had more sweeping effect than antic-
ipated. The coming parliament was
apt to be even more radical than the
first one. The reopening of the uni
versities y practically uncertain.
