Our strength.


The Philadelphia Record has the fol-
lowing ~battleship" remark which
might even be emphasized by recalling
the historical fact that we were never
in trouble and never stood higher when
we had next to no navy. Says the Rec
cord:
The agitation in naval circles every
time a battleship IS launched some
where in the world that is bigger than
those we possess IS almost comical.
The Japanese battleship Satsuma. which
is 1900 tons larger than the British
90,00O-tonner, the Dreadnought had
barely slipped Of the ways on Tuesday
last when. from the flutter IN the gem
eral naval board at Washington. one
would have imagined her guns were
already booming at the Golden Gate or
smashing down the fortihcations at
Sandy Hook. But the safety Of this ma
ton does not lie IN vessels 81 the
largest type. as the vociferous chorus
OF naval expansionists insists; IL lies
IN right doing toward weak and strong
which has in the main characterized
our policy and which has earned for
this nation the respect and friendship
OF the whole civilized world.

Couldn't Fool Him Twice.

The heavy clouds were massing in
the west, the lightning was flashing
and the thunder was rumbling omin-
ously.
The fond mother gathered her young
hopeful to her and tried logically to
calm his fears.
There's no danger, dear. God sends
the thunder-st storm to clear the air,
water the flowers and make things
cool. You mustn't be frightened 1t
won't harm you and everything will be
better when it's over"
The little chap listened intently and
when his mother had finished he
looked at her quizzicaIly.
NO, no. mama" he murmured: you
talk exactly the way you did last week
when you took me to the dentist to
have that tooth pulled"

DOVE OF PEACE BUTTS IN
TO WHITE SOX MEETING.
Johnson COmiskey Feud Ends When
the Two Meet At the Close of the
business Session at the Auditorium
Annex,

Here's to the president of the
worlds champions" That was the
toast offered by Ban Johnson TO Charles
Comiskey late yesterday afternoon in
the Pompeian room of the Annex.
And a moment later the odd Roman"
responded with: Here's to the presi-
dent of the American League" Thus
was the friendship between the base
ball warriors Comiskey and Johnson
cemented again after their two years
Of bitter warfare against each other.
The report Of the truce between the
warning magnates came right on the
heels Of the announcement that Presi-
dent Johnson had received a Christ
mas present in the shape of $1,000
raise to his salary Of $4,000 making
the head of the American League the
flrst" $4,000 man" in baseball.
Thomas c. Moves, president of the
thanks in the shape Of a raise in salary
lie rendered Mr.. Johnson. and no dis
senting voice was heard
The reunion Of the men who made
the American league was the sensa-
tional development OF the annual bust
ness meeting of the organization. 10y
al friends Of the two men somehow
fixed up reconciliation. It was a
doubtful task at the start, but when
once the old companions met face to
face there was a quick bridging of past
differences and "Commya and Ban
were once more friends.

GRAIN AND PROVISION Market

Chicago, Dec. 13.-WHEAT-Dun,u I'M
interesting market within narrow
limits. The news was bullish enough
but it lacked substantial buying orders
to have any influence on prices The
northwest was reported large buyers
Of both the hard winter and other
classes of wheat from the southwest,
also the cash demand in Minneapolis
reported strong and the demand brisk
for the better grades of wheat. The
market closed steady with slight
changes for the day.
CORN-Lack of better cash demand
had a depressing influence on specu-
lative options in this cereal. There
was liberal selling orders in evidence
by cash houses against purchases of
corn in the country. Commission
houses also had few scattered orders
to sell the May options on any advance
Export business today was practically
nothing. Corn in the sample market
was one quarter of a cent lower than
yesterday. The close was steady to
firm.
OATS-Strong and higher, acted in
dependently OF any Of the other grain
pits. The strength was attributed to
a report circulated by one Of the promi-
nent houses that the oats crop is even
smaller than the government figures
give 1t. This caused considerable short
covering. The market closed strong
with fair advance for the day.

they had finally run the price up to

large assembly of Sunday school chill

very paternal way, And now, is there
a-a-n-y little boy or a-a-n-y little

The inability to ind secret agent
