IF AMERICAN FLAG FLIES
OVER CUBA IT STAYS PUT
So Says Senator BeverIdge In Speech At
Chlcago--WI Never Do the Work Over


Chicago, H., Sept. %. Senator AL
bert j. Beverage, of Indiana, tonight
opened the Republican congressional
campaign in the middle west by deliver
ing an address under the auspices of
the Hamilton club Of Chicago.
'Let no man be deceived as to what
Intervention means. 1t does not mean
proclamation; it means soldiers.
$4,000 TROOPS NEEDED.
Fifty thousand American troops will
be required to restore Cuba to the con-
dition in which we left it. Fifty thous-
sand troops for at least one year will be
necessary to build up again that social
order which we once established in
Cuba, and which the Cubans them
selves have shattered.
"Fifty thousand American soldiers
for one year will be needed to root out
that brigandage which for decades has
had so firm hold on Cuban SOIL After
this has been achieved American ad-
ministration will run smoothly without
any soldiers at all.
FLAG WILL STAY PUT.
''But when we have once more done
that work we will never again let it be
undone. We have made a mistake
once; we will not make that mistake
twice.
"If the American flag again goes to
Cuba it goes to stay; we will return
again to the traditional American doc
trine that whenever that flag Is raised
it shall never be lowered"

The Democrats say they have dis
covered three Republicans in Tazewell
county who will vote for Bruce. We
doubt this, but if there are three such
men they are keeping it very quiet, and
are evidently ashamed to let their Re-
publican friends know that they are
going to vote against their party and
its candidate. If they do such a thing
they will infict more injury upon them
selves than they will upon their party.

People are beginning to think thai
Mr.. R. Tate Irvine put up a job on R
P. Bruce when he placed him in nomi
nation at the Bristol convention. Mr.
Irvine, perhaps, remembered that
Bruce had unloaded on him in that sen.
atorial race three years ago, and he
wanted to geteven with Bruce for, that.
That Mr.. Irvine is desperately interest
ed in Bruce's candidacy is evidenced by
the fact thatrMr. Irvine went to Eu-
rope several weeks ago and will remain
there until the last of October.

The Parrots Rival.

In the house of the consul in Bangkok is
bird that keeps up an incessant chatter
that might almost be dubbed conversation,
so clever is it. The voice of this bird is
very much like human voice. far more so
than the parrot. The bird is called the
Mlneur or Minor. 1t learns much more
readily than the parrot and is as clever
at Initiating the American mocking- bird.
1t whistles in exact imitation of its master
and sings whole songs through without
making mistake. When 1t was first pnr-
chased it could only talk in Siamese but in
a short while picked up many sentences
of English.
The master of this cunning songster al
ways summons his servants to him by cali
ing boy. The mineur learned TO do the
same thing, with the result that the ser
want was sent on a FOOLS errand many
times. None could tell whether the master
called boy or the mineur. This greatly
annoyed the servant, whose owner told him
that he need not come unless he heard the
call boy, boy repeated twice. In three
days time the mineur had learned this
trick and was doing the same thing. Then
it was arranged that the master should
strike on the table or clap his hands as they
do in Turkey or Siam. This was too much
for the mineur. who found that his fun was
over.

How First Oyster Came to Be Eaten.

The man who ate the first oyster must
have been very brave. for certainly the
best thing about an oyster is not its
looks. The story runs that a man thrust
his forefinger into an open shell he found
on the seashore. The oyster, whose shell
it was, was very angry and closed it on
the fingers of the man to his astonish-
ment and pain 1t took a great deal of
wrenching to Hberate the finger which
was considerably injured in the opera
ton. The man put his finger in his mouth
to lessen the pain, and thus learned the
taste. Having learned it he smashed all
the shells with stones and devoured their
contents. He ate oysters until he was
completely filled. Afterward whenever
this man was hungry he went to the oys-
ter bank and from being thin and why
became fat and rosy. His neighbors not
ed the change, and one day followed him
to his retreat near the sea There they
learned the reason, and many of them
fell into the same habits. The secret once
out, 1t spread abroad with great rapidity
The oyster-e eating habit was inaugurate ed
and has come down to US. When all this
occurred the story does not say. History
though let's us know that oyster eating
was known TO the ancient Greeks and Ro-
mans, who thought very highly of oys-
tiers as articles of Diet

A Prince who is Fond of Horses.

EIcel Frederick. prince of Prussia. and
younger brother of the crown prince OF
Germany. Is considered one of the finest
horsemen of Europe. The German people
love him greatly for this, along with his
Kindness to his animals. a quality some
times wanting when great daring is pos
sesstd by boys
When the prince was sixteen he was given
the freedom or the royal stables and told
that he could select one of the fine Arabian
ponies for his own use. He asked if he
could look after him just as boys in lesser
stations In life do with their ponies, and
his fathers reply was:
i want my boys to know how to work
and care for everything that belongs to
Them
Eitel did care for his pony and spent
many moments learning all about the needs
and nature CT horses. He discovered that
his Arabian could jump and, riding him
one day, he cleared a four-barred fence
which greatly delighted the emperor. who
was riding with him.
A short time after this his father gave
him a powerful hunting horse The boy
looked like midget on him. but would not
ride him for three or four days.
"A horse needs to know you The srayely
said, before he makes up his mind whether
you will be kind and reasonable with him
or harsh"
After boy and horse had become acquaint-

well-known man was recently saved
from death by mouse. One of these
troublesome little pests was nibbling in
the room where the gentleman slept a
trap was set. In the night the mouse
came, the bait was seized. the trap door
fell with a crash. The man awoke to find
the room full of gas. which had escaped
from a half-turned burner.
The incest part of this story (Which is a
true one) Is that the gentleman said he
believed that a life demanded another
life. Consequently the mouse was re-
leased with only n sprained paw. Let US
hope that the incident taught him to be-
ware of traps in the future, no matter
how good the cheese smells.

He seized and dragged before tho
mandarin whom he had left but a few
minutes before.
You have tried TO escape from the palace
with bag of the emperor's money" said
the mandarin, and such an act must be
punished, and 1 shall punish you by chop

There Is one way out of this trouble.

go home and bring the dragon TO me, make
him apologize for his lies, and I will pardon
you-on one condition, that you paint an
other wall of my bed room on the same
terms-another crystal button"
Titchiou did not like this turn OF affairs
in the least. but he had to accept or lose
his head and pigtail. AS the latter was
very long and silky and deeply attached to
his head, he decided to accept the man
dartn's terms and the two paintings are

The Error of the Stork.
BY ]. THOMAS.

Johann was funny fat little Dutch boy,
but on this bright autumn day he did not
see anything very bright or very funny.
His papa had a great deal of money, and
Johann had ever 50 many playthings, but
vet he felt very, very lonely.
And truly I do not blame him, for his
mamma was upstairs with a headache, and
the little boy had not a thing to do except
TO wander from one room TO the other. And
doesn't the house seem gloomy when the
dear mother is not there to cheer it with
her sunshiny face?
Joris, Johann's playmate. had one little sis
ter, and yesterday the stork had stopped at
his house and left another That was what
Johann was thinking, and there were two
big tears in his eyes quite sure that the
storll had made a mistake in the houses
and had given Joris the little sister Johann
had wanted for 50 long.
