but is not satisfactory In important
points. 1t maintains that the crown
domain" is perfectly legal. The
most interesting chapter, devoted to
a refutation of the charges OF NAL
administration on the part of the
government of the Congo, claims
that the officials have not forgotten
the liberties proclaimed by the Ber-
lin convention, defends the system
by which the negroes pay taxes in
labor, and declares that Belgium
takes no more than the natives are
able to pay
ITO ask the payment of taxes in
money the report continues,
would cause revolt
The report protests against the ac-
cusation that King Leopold has en-
riched himself at the price of the
blood of the natives. saying:
THE king sacrificed everything
for the Congo, and obtained no profit
from the African possessions.
The financial exhibit is lacking
from the report, which only says that
the finances of the Congo are normal
and satisfactory, and concludes with
a protest against the charge that the
state is exporting negroes for COM
mercial purposes, adding:
The government has nothing to
conceal. but wishes to remain COM

installment plan.

1nStallment plan.
Ma isn't home and we don't want
any," was Humpy's greeting as he made
ready to shut the door.
Hold on, sonny" replied the man as
he crowded his way in. II am not ex
actly selling these rugs, but carrying
them around to let folks see what a
good thing is I'll just show you three
or four, and then when you grow up
and get married you'll know where to
come to for rugs"
He scattered half a dozen of his sam
pies on the floor, and Humpy and the
Williams boy began to admire. There
was a green rug with two red cats on it
that particularly caught their attention.
When he had worked them up to the
proper point the man said to Humpy:
See here, sonny, you are left in
charge here today, as 1 understand it ?''
Yes, sir"
s'You look like a boy Who = is old
enough and smart enough to do bust
ness. Your mother loves rugs, L take
it. but is too busy to look around for
them. No one has ever called here
with such rugs. We have put the
price of that work of art at seven dol
and a dollar a week on it. Why not
give your mother a glad surprise when
she comes home Why not cause your
father to wonder if he hasn't got into
the wrong house when he comes in
from his days toll? You must have a.
dollar i'm the house,
The Williams boy advised Humpy
to buy the rug. Never again in this
world would a green rug with two red
cats on it be offered at such a low
price. 1t was a bargain that his faith
er and mother would pat him on the
back for taking advantage Of The
rug man added that such a rug in a
house gave the world to understand
that its inmates were people of taste
and fitted to move in any society, and
the ten dollar bill was broken and
Humpy signed paper on behalf of
the family. When the man had de-
parted the rug was placed. in every
room in the house by turns, but was
finally postured in the center of the
sitting room. The dishwashing had
been about half finished when the bell
rang again. This time it was a man
with a cuckoo clock. He was told
the same as the other, but like the
other he forced his way in in order
to exhibit the clock.
Neither Humpy nor his friend had

Humpy promptly promised all that
was asked of him, and by the time his
breakfast and was ready to pitch into
the work. She had been out of the
house just long enough to turn the
nearest corner when he was at the gate
and looking up and down the street to
see if he could catch sight of boy ne
knew. Two or three minutes later the
Williams boy hove in sight When he
was within hearing Humpy- waved his
arm and cried out:

bly, can. Something tremendous has

mo. It's something that beats dead

the day and left me to run the house.
She's also left ten dollar bill. I'm to
wash the dishes and get my own dinner,
and can have broiled squad, oysters on
the half shell, quail on toast, ice cream
or anything 1 want. Come in"
Say Hump Skinner said the other as
he followed him in, this is something
great. Napoleon crossed the Alps, but

one around to yell for the police"
Humpy fell into this view and 1t was
settled that the Williams boy should re-
main to do the yelling and give such
advice on other matters as he could.
The first thing was to clear off the
breakfast table. They were carrying
the dishes to the kitchen sink when the
doorbell rang, and Humpy answered it

ever been within ten feet of a cuckoo
clock, and therefore had a natural
curiosity to crafty. The man sat
down and entered into explana TONS
He gave them the history of the
cuckoo bird; he caused the bird to
come out and cuckoo; he warranted
the clock for a million years; he guar
anteed that any family having a .cuck-
90 clock in the house would be looked
upon as being way up in c. and
that the grocer and butcher would
send in their bills only once in three
months. When he had talked for fif-
teen minutes Humpy was ready to pay
dollar down and a dollar a week nm
til ten dollars had been paid. and the
peddler departed telling him that II
would be the greatest surprise of his
dear mothers life -
Before noon a man with a. wringer
to sell on. the installment plan rang The
bell and was admitted. He attached
the wringer to a tub and showed. that
it would wiring anything from a "a 2

/ in the house would add ten years to
Mrs. SINNERS life and raise the wa ges
of her husband. 1t was a token of
aristocracy. Within two days after it
was installed all the rich women in
riages to call. Humpy paid a. dollar
down and agreed to pay four dollars
more in weekly installments. Another
dollar of the ten went to buy good
:
hardly over when a man called with
an oil painting representing a storm in
the Rocky mountains. 1t was a dollar
down and three more to be paid by
the week. Then came the man with
vases. He was selling them for four
dollars a pair, when they were worth
double, and on that same benef1cent
installment plan. Last of all came the
man with the old fashioned family
rocking chair-just such a chair as
Hunpy had often heard his mother
wish for Only a dollar down and a.
dollar a week for the next six weeks.
There was a little money still left.
and the boys were getting ready to go
out and buy a dog to guard the new
furniture when Mrs Skinner arrived.
I saw Humpy at his gate the other day
after being in the house for a week He
wouldn't say much He admitted that
his father took hold of his case when
his mother had tired herself out, and
that when all was, sofer= he felt like
putting in seven days in bed, but he
looked so detected and forlorn, and
there was such-a hopeless look to the
hump in his back that I didn't press
him for particulars.-(Copyri

THAT SKINNER BOY.
He Does Business on the InstaIlment
Plan.

When Humpy Skinner hustled into
his clothes the other morning and rat
tied down to breakfast. knowing that
he had oversight by half an hour, he
expected several rebukes- from his
mother. To his establishment she did
not give him even one. On the con-
trary, she pleasantly said:
"Humpy, your father will not be
home TO dinner today. and 1 want to
take the suburban car and go out and
see your Aunt Lucy. She has been ex-
pecting me out there for a month past.
Would you like to go with me?"
Num-" was the reply between
mouthfuls.
I thought you wouldn't. as there is
no boy there to play with. I think
will let you stay home from school and
keep house for the day. You can wash
up the breakfast dishes, get your own
lunch and have the supper table set
against my coming home"
That Will be bully, ma. I'll make
everything around the house fairly
shine. Can 1 have a boy or two in if
! get lonesome
yes, if they are good boys and will
behave themselves, but 1 don't want
no carrying on. If the house took fire
your father would never forgive me-
Wen just sit down on the floor and
read books and learn our Sunday school
lessons You'll come home to find that
I have been one of the best boys in
town.
There's another thing" said the
mother as she hustled around to get her
things on. Here's a ten dollar bill
that I'm saving towards your fathers
shelf, and you keep your eye on it.
If I take it with me I may have my
pocket picked or lose it, If the house
should get afire save the bill anyway
