old witch telling her children about the
tiny tongue she carried in her pocket.
"Ah, it's the tongue out Of a pretty but
naughty little girls mouth" she was say
ing. Come, bestir yourselves. Which
one of my children wants this tongue7"
The fairy Immediately few into the
cave, Jerked the tongue from the hand Of
the old witch Just as she was holding it
up for her little witches to inspect. IN
take it, IL you please" said the fairy,
laughing. "And beware to you and yours
If you ever go within dozen leagues Of
the place where you stole this little
tongue"
The old witch trembled with fright, for
she feared the fairies greatly, knowing
from experience their wonderful power
and not a word did she say as the fairy
flew away from her dingy abode with the
coveted tongue.
Then over the mountains and the valleys
flew the little fairy, overtaking the band
Of searchers Just as Lettie lay down in the
shade to rest and take a nap. Touching
Lettie's eyes with the tips of her tiny
fingers she caused a sweet sleep to fall
upon her. Then she very gently opened
Lettie's mouth, inserted the tongue into
its original place, fastened 1t there with
a bit of fairy wax from the end of her
wand, and few away.
In the course of half an hour Lettie
opened her eyes and smiled into her
mothers face, for her mother had come
to rouse her and tell her it was time for
them to be going after the party. In the
first moment Of waking Lettie did not
think Of the loss Of her tongue, and ac-
cording to habit she cried out: "weil,
mama, where are we? Isn't this
strange place"
You can imagine the mothers Joy and
surprise when her little daughter spoke.
"Oh darling, your tongue, your precio6s
tongue Where did you find it2'
And Lettie, as much astonished as her
mother, laughed and clapped her hands,
Los Angeles herald., 1907-08-25

Lettie was a very talkative little girl.
She talked so fast that her mama told
her she said dozen words without think
ing at all, and her teacher was forever
keeping. her In after school by way of
punishment for having whispered so much
during the day. One day Lettie In
fit OF anger, because her mama chided
her for talking too much at the table
while company was being entertained,
declared that she wished she might lose
her tongue. Now, she was a naughty lit
tie girl or she certainly would not have
made such a rash wish. She was in the
back yard, swinging in her pretty ham,
mock, when she made the wish just re-
corded.
Now, 1t so happened that an old witch
was passing that way and having seen
Lettie In the yard she crept close be-
hind her and listened to what she was
saying. Although Lettie was alone, she
was talking very emphatically to herself.
YES" she declared vehemently, II wish
l might lose my tongue! Then mama and
teacher wouldn't always be saying l talk
too much. If one has a tongue one must
talk, / guess So, II I'd stop talking
/ should have to lose my tongue. And
1t would be just good enough for mama
and teacher should l lose 1t, for then
couldn't answer their questions. And
couldn't recite at school, either"
"Ah, little Miss, We'll just relieve you
Of that precious tongue" said cackling
voice behind Lettie. She glanced round
to behold strengthening old nag stand
ing at her elbow. 'Who are your" Let
tie tried to ask, but she suddenly realized
that she had no tongue in her mouth.
She felt very frightened, OF course, and
with all her might she endeavored TO ask
the old witch to give her back her tongue,
for she hadn't the least doubt but that
the old bag had robbed her of 1t. But In
vain she tried to speak, her tongue was
gone. She lifted her hands In suppli-
eating manner to the old witch, begging
with her pitiful eyes for her stolen treas
ure. Oh, to be forever without tongueI
Horriblel 1t would be better TO lose a
hand or foot or-yes, even an eye. She
could still go about and see with one eye
gone.
But even while Lettle pleaded with her
hands and eyes the old witch turned
about and went Oh down the lawn, strik-

dear recollection always made him seek
change in order to forget his living grief
Rising from MS place under the phaeton.
Bingo trotted down the street, and when
a little later the girls came from a store
to get into their phaeton they found him
gone.
All that day and night Bingo journeyed
on, resting only when so overcome by
fatigue that he was forced to do SO. In
the morning he found himself at the
back door Of big farm house where a
generous work-hand fed him hearty
meal. Being made welcome wherever he
stopped Bingo would remain days at a
place, becoming a bit attached to his
new friends and surroundings. Then that
old memory which tore his heart would
drive him on and on.
And so year rolled round and Joey's
folks thought that Bingo was lost to
them forever, They had made inquiry
for him as soon as they missed him, but
to no avail. One day in the dead Of
winter low whine was heard at the
kitchen door of Joey's old home and
when 1t was opened there stood Bingo. a
mere shadow Of his former self. He was
gathered into the arms Of Joey's mother,
patted affectionately by Joey's father and
fed and nursed gently through the night.
But on the following morning-when no
one was watching him-he stole away,
going towards the hillside where Joey
slept. A few days later he was found
there, lying prone across Joey's grave.
He had grown old In the eight years of
his life and had come home from his
wanderings to die, and to lie with the
young master whom he had lovdd with
more than human devotion during his
life.

saying: Really, mama dear, do believe
a good fairy brought it to me. Just as
fell asleep l prayed that one would find
my tongue and bring it to me. And sure
enough-here 1t is, safe in my mouth.
And what good care I shall take of this
tongue, too, since I have learned its
great valuei''
Yes, my little girl will never make
that pretty tongue of hers say idle words;
nor will she permit herself to make 1t
whisper In school. But, come, we must
hurry after our friends and let you tell
them the good news that your precious
tongue Is once more safe in its right
place"
And 1t shall always keep its right
place, too, mama dear smiled Lettie as
she ran down the mountain side calling In
q happy voice: I've found my tongue!
I've found my tonguei"

POWER OF THE POLICE
PEACE OF WORLD RESTS ON MAN
WITH CLUB AND SHIELD.
President Eliot Of Harvard Speaks to
800 Policemen on Importance
of Their Duty.

BOSTON. January Discontinued interna-
tional peace depends, not upon the equip
ment of large armies but upon the extent
of the police force, is the opinion expressed
by President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard
University before 300 policemen at the Bos-
ton Social Club last night, in an address on
Mature of Police Duty and the Function
of the Police in Modern Society," Presi-
dent Eliot pad high tribute to the police
men and set their calling above that of the
soldier
The abstinence from war and the estab-
lishment of continued peace among civilized
nations" said President Eliot, depends not
upon the extension of the police force. The
world needs an International court, and We
have just begun to get it. Now We want an
international police force back Of II, for
without a force to back II, the International
court will be almost worthless. Cut down
the armies and extend the police forces,
and then will come the perpetual fnterna-
tional peace.
THE police force, continued the speaker,
keeps order and seeks not to destroy, but to
help humanity. The calling of the soldier
and sailor on the other. hand, is to kill and
destroy.
Now" went on President Eliot, what
an immense advantage your calling has
over that of the soldier 1t is gong to sur
vive that of the soldier; ii is going to re-
main a necessity of civilized society when
the art of the soldier shall. have at last dis
appeared, except as he renders police
service"

Seeking Emigrants From Japan.

Vice Consul General Z. G. Babbitt of
Yokohama learns from a japanese news
paper that business man from Chile is
now in Japan to exploit Chilean ntrates,
promote commercial intercourse between
the two countries, and as the representa-
tive of the Santiago government to encour-
age Japanese emigration to Chile.
The Chilean government offers consider
able inducements to agricultural and fish
ing emigrants. Forty acres of rich land are
given outright to each settler, twenty more
to each son eighteen years of age or more (;
yoke of oxen, a set of farm implements
and $15 month in cash for the first year.
This would seem to be a sufficient induce
ment to the japanese farmer to leave his
little farm of something less than acre
and go to Chile, while practical monopoly
of the entire fishing industry of a country
having 1900 miles of coast Astounding in
splendid fish, but practically without fish
ing class, would seem to hold out a suf-
ficient bait to people versed in fishing

NEW YoRK's LIQUOR BILL.
1t Makes the Election District the
Unit in License Cities.

ALBANY. January 1s.-The Ants aloon
League has just published a draft of the
new local option bill which is to be intro
duced in the legislature at this session.
This new bill extends the local option now
enjoyed by towns TO cities as a whole. and
to election districts or groups of election
districts in license Cities. There are in this
new bill three radical departures from the
Tully- Wainwright bill of last year, which
are described as follows:
First. the extension of local option to
cities as whole. This has been done be-
cause of the crying need in several of our
smaller cities for some relief from saloon
domination.
Secondly, the adoption of the election dis
trict as the unit for local option in license
cities instead of the residence dis .rict
which was the unit in the two preceding
bills The residence district feature met
with much criticism among the members of
the Legislature.
Thirdly, the temporary abandonment of
the attempt to secure an additional local
option privilege for parts of license towns
We have not surrendered our purpose to
secure such a privilege for the people of
license towns. We have only left it out of
this years bill because the simple city
proposition seems to have a better chance
of success.
Senator Raines, in return for the above
concessions, has promised not to obstruct
the bill.
The question of liquor no liquor is to
be submitted to the electors at each mu-
nicipal election, provided 10 per cent of the
votes cast at the next preceding general
election shall request such submission The
four propositions now submitted to voters
in towns will be submitted to voters in
cities and election districts
The milk in the cocoanut is to be found
in the election district provision of the bill
1t is here where the innovation is likely to
be fel. most in the cities of the state The
bill says:
such local option questions shall also be
submitted at any general elect on in any
odd numbered year in any election district
or any city in which the sale of liquor is
then permitted, provided that the electors
Of the election district or districts to the
number of 10 per cent of the votes cast at
the next preceding general election shall
request such submission by written peIl-
tion. etc.
This vote my be taken at any municipal
election in the case of city as q whole
but at any general election in any odd num-
bered year in the case of election districts
Election districts may be combined but
they must be contiguous il they are to be
combined. This will permit large residen-
tial sections which contain seyeral election
districts to have a common policy on the
saloon question.
