Favoritism.

Dear mothers, give 'the ugly duck
ling as much of Il chance as Is given
to the rest who seem superior" They
may not be superior, after all. Even
mother-hearts may sometimes be warped
trlhe, and set upon the more attrac-
tive children to the setting aside of the
others. at least i'll Il measure. Mothers
are less tempted, inly. to this favor
itiSm than are those of more distant kin
and association. But to the mother her
self may come q subtle. uurecognized inn
pulse to show more attention to the
clever child than to the comparatively
duil one, aud to give Il prominence to
one that shall cast the other into n
gloomy shade. 1t is bad enough to
show OFF, children in any event, but
when. Ill doing it, parents or friends dis
rrImlnate openly against one, in favor
OF the other. it may be Il serious matter.

y little child often sets a good eX-
ample when, in answer to the question
that ought never in the world to be
asked, Which do you like best. papa

cry true mother-heart intends to be thus
impartial in love and favors and she
will be, unless there is special attraction
and repulsion to contend with. If there
IS love enough, it will not distinguish be-
tween two. or among many. Remember
1t Is as bad for one child to have too
large share as for the other to have
too little. Real life furnishes many
astonishing examples of the ugly duck
ling turning out best. q fter all, in spite
OF neglect, while youthful promise, on
the other hand, may be smothered or
mlsdlrected by too much attention.

Farmers, co-operative conaress.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 22.-The annual
meeting of the Farmers Cooperative
Association held here today $500 del
egates from Kansas. Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota.
Wisconsin, Missouri. Colorado. New
Mexico, Oklahoma. Texas, Arkansas,
Mississippi. Alabama and Georgia reg
istered. The gathering was the larg-
est of it's kind ever held in the Unit
ed States. Mr. L. N. Holmes, Bernice,
Louisiana, explained that the objetc
of the conference was TO unite the
farmers of the United States in a
permanent organization TO control
farm products and to secure the enact
ment of laws favorable to agricultural
lists. None of the Mississippi states,
he said, had law regulating the
organization and control of cooper
ative societies. Kansas had a law to
cover the subject but it was made
ouate. 1t limited the capital stock TO
500 900 and provides no means for
regulating the amount OF stock whlcn
one member may vote. As there are
hundreds of telephons, insurance COM
panies and elevators owned by farm
ers the congress would consider the
hest means for cooperation. r. n.

Hearst must have learned his fen
cling in a peculiar school," says the
Baltimore American. 'His strokes
are on the thrust variety. He has
not availed himself of single parry
The American is right. 1t intended
this for reflection upon Mr.. Hearst's
methods, but it really complimented
him. Mr. Hearst refuses to be put
on the defensive. He refuses even to
parry thrusts that do not reach the
mark. Hearst seems to have learned
fencing in a peculiar schoor-peculiar
to those who do not know anything
about fencing, but evidently one in
which the pupil is taught not to be
put on the defensive and not TO wear
ones self out attempting to parry
harmless blows. To be put on the
defensive shows weakness; to parry
a harmless blow is cowardice. Hearst s
school Of fencing is all right. Its a
daisy. It is the other fellow Hearst
wants to put on the defensive and he
is doing it-doing it to the queens
taste.-Montgomery Journal.

THE SQUIRRELS ROUND OUR
COTTAGE DOOR.

Just where the squirrel stops,
The sunlight on the dew drops,
Throw bright jewels on the grass,
Close by his morning pass.
Where these jewels CLINT and glisten,
He stops. self-poised to listen
At sounds of nearing feet.
Re seeks secure retreat
Leaps into a tall oak.
Cunningly does his head poke
Around the limb still wet,
And looks down with eyes of jet,
Then he quickly darts back;
Fearing unfriendly attack,
In a moment returns,
Yopr presence he almost spurns;
See there are squirrels two,
I'VE are not afraid of you
Grown brave they seem TO say.
{ Then they run. leap, skip and
play,
In cute, graceful way,
See them dance upon the fence!
The'ye nc drowsy incidence.
There are squirrels all around,
On the trees and on the ground
Now they have some acorns found
It tastes TO them quite sweet,
This wild, firm, white acorn meat
See that graceful pose
Against the bright, pink rosei
Head erect; feet half lifted
He's an actor, rare and gifted.
One finds mushroom white,
His grace makes a pretty sight,
AS he handles the mushroom.
But a maid with brush broom,
Comes on the scene far too soon.
(Which does not with him attune)
He makes a flying spring
On the arbor finds swing,
Then creeps on tiny feet,
Back to his old oak retreat:
Lies upon his white breast,
Free and happy-peTfect rest.

Los Angeles, Calf, Oct 22.-Pas-

q prospector who stopped the train
running forty miles an hour in the
middle of the Mojave Desert by flag,

desert travellers who are in distress

New York Central Announces New
Mileage Book.


Chicago, Oct. 22.-Illinois at last
lis to derive some benefit from the re-
ductions in passenger rates which
are taking place in Central Passen-
ger Association territory. The New
York Central today announced that
the new $4,000 tnousand-mile books
good for bearer, which it proposes to
issue will be accepted over all lines
west of Buffalo. This makes it affec-
tive across Illinois to ST. Louis over
the Big Four.
The Pennsylvania announcement
of its mileage book stated that it
would not be good over the Vandalia
TO Terre Haute and to St. Louis, but
that road will have to meet the Big
-Four competition, and other lines, in
turn, will have to meet the Pennsyl-
yania's.
The prospect is that il viii not be
long before most of the people of H.
linois will be able TO ride for what is
substantially a two-cent fare.
Passengers officials of the Wabash,
Chicago and Eastern Illinois, Illinois
Central and Chicago & Alton today
formally protested against the New
York Central carrying out it's plan.
The Pennsylvania is also trying to
get the New York Central to confine
its book to territory east of illinois,
but as officials of the Vanderbilt lines
have been much irritated by the re-
.peated rate cuts by the Pennsylvania.
