 And as soon as pa had eaten his dinner that night, an extra special feast she unfolded her plan.
 "Pa," she said, that dog of ours gets to know so much that sometimes I am almost afraid of him. When you picked him out as a puppy must con- fess that had my doubts about your choice, but, as a matter of fact, he Is a most wonderful dog! Most wonder full! Now, what I've been thinking Is this: Here's winter coming on with Its cold, blizEardy weather, and that old pet hasn't thing on the floor of his coop. We've never made him a pres ent yet, but he's such an extraor dinary dog that don't you think we might, as a family, let him have our new rug? He would appreciate it so much! The pet Look at him, pal Isn't he a picture?"
 Do you think it would fit?" asked pa, doubtfully.
 Bee snatched the rug and ma ran out at once, with Shep in glad pur- suit They staid out so long that pa began to wonder.

THE STORY OF
 A RUG Pa Selected 1t with He Usual
 Good Taste

Pa coughed as if he had something on his mind and he did his best to look benevolent.
 'I-er-bought a rug today" he said
 "A rug?" cried ma.
 "A rug?" cried Bee.
 "A rug?" cried the rest of the fam fly, and Shep, the family dog, looking as handsome as a picture, took advan- tage of the excitement by barking loudly and tossing one of pas slip pers In the air, pretending 1t was naughty sheep. Shep had a new rib airs all day.
 (Ma, I ought to say, is an authority on old china, Bee is studying sculp- ture, and the rest of the family hopes to be poet some day. Pa is very stout and he has any number of chins).
 Yes" said pa; "a friend of mine who is in the trade Sots them very cheap, and l arranged that he should buy one for me and ship it by express A six by three, my love-"
 Just the size for the parlor, my dears." said ma. We need a new rug for the hearth, and unless 1 am mistaken here Is the congressman now"
 She went into the parlor and made place for the rug, while pa carried 1t in and united 1t. It had a green fringe and border which shaded into a tan. Inside this was blue and inside the blue was an olive streaked with orange. Large heads of cabbage dot ted the design wherever there was room for them, these vegetables being portrayed In pink and yellow, while a flash of green with red spots breaking out all over It composed the center.
 Now, the beauty of these rugs is this" said pa. beaming at us When one side is worn out you can turn them over and the other side Is just the same!"
 T think, my dears," said ma, that the diningroom would be the better place for 1t, after all"
 We found a dark corner for it be- hind door and pa sat and admired 1t while ma and Bee shuddered to themselves. Pa is very touchy in anything rejecting upon his taste, and he seemed to think that his choice of this rug assured his reputation for all time.
 And the beauty of these rugs. said he, lis that they last practically for ever"
 The next day We put it up in the spare room and pacified pa (who missed it the moment he got home) by telling him that it was too good for any dining-room. This modified him, but the next morning he got a letter from Aunt Jane saying she was coming to spend a few days. Ma ran upstairs, and when she came down she avoided Bees eye. Bee ran upstairs and when she came down she avoided my eye. l wasn't going to have it. so l ran upstairs and put 1t in mas room | When l came down ma looked at me and sighed and fetched it down into the Kitchen. Shep looked at 1t very thoughtfully. The groceryman knocked on the back door, and ma hastily | threw the rug down into the cellar Shep ran after 1t. thinking it might be sheep to mind. but as soon as he saw what 1t was he cried to be let up again and scratched the cellar door until the whole house rattled
 Perhaps" said Bee, If you hung 1t out on the line some one might steal it."
 Hang that out on the line? cried ma T would die flrst!"
 And added:
 "Besides-no one would steal It"
 She looked collectively at Shep.

WOMAN SPEAKS OF
THE PEACE MAKERS ,
THRONG ATTENDS EASTER
SERVICE
Interesting Address Delivered by Mrs
Benjamin Fay Mills at Fellowship
Meeting In Blanchard
Hall

BLESSED Are the Peace Makers" was
the subject of Mrs. Benjamin Fay
Mills, permanent minister of the Los
Angeles Fellowship, yesterday morning
before large congregation IN Blanch-
ard hall. She said in part:
"It would seem inappropriate to
mention at Easter time but for the pre-
vailing excitement concerning the ar
rival of those engines of destruction
the warships. Every throb of pride we
feel in the existence of these inStru-
ments of manslaughter Is an encourage
ment to the war spirit and tendency,
which should be banished from the
civilized world. When we see these
ships so perfectly arranged to murder
human beings, and the men there ready
to do the numbering, we naturally want
to murder somebody.
I'VE do not need navy for protec-
ton. When America had practically
no navy we were never invaded. When
Russia had one of the largest navies
in the world she was attacked and con-
quered. Since she had none she has
suffered no invasion. Our increasing
navy may prove to be a chip on the
shoulder rather than protection. Vic
tor Hugo says: The chief cause of war
is to be found in the armaments of ma
tons
peace is the ideal we all hold. There
is no true progress except In time or
peace. Literary and artistic production,
scientific investigation, economic and
religious development and the produc-
ton of wealth are checked and para
lyzed by war That universal peace Is
the only desirable condition and must
be attained has been the perception
and assertion of all the greatest men
the world has known.

was the divinest conclave that has been
held by man. World lasting unity has
been agreed upon between Chile and
Argentina, Norway and Sweden, Den
mark and the Netherlands Switzer-
land Is neutral ground. Within the last
112 years 571 cases of dispute between
nations have been peacefully arbitrated.
Measures for the education of the
peace sentiment have been put into
operation in Harvard and several
European universities and in some pub

future. somewhere. 1t will remain there
until we bring it near. The task Of
evolution is given into our hands. We
must be the makers of peace.
''It is a task that calls for great

SAILORS WELCOMED BY
TEMPERANCE WORKERS

The Murphy gospel temperance
meeting yesterday afternoon In Chutes
park was In the nature OF a welcome 10
the officers and sailors and partook
largely of a patriotic character. Rear
Admiral Thomas had sent Chaplain
Charlton of the Georgia as his repre-
sentative at the service and Chaplain
Charlton made a spirited address, stat
ing that on the battleships prohibition
was compelled; that no liquors were
allowed. Chaplain Charlton also ex-
pressed his delight, as well as that OF
the sailors, in visiting Los Angeles ana
continued with a good word for the
sailor boys.
Sometimes you may see two or three
sailors under the influence of liquor"
said the chaplain, land that leads peo-
pie to think that as a rule they are
drinking men, when, as a matter OF
fact, it is quite the contrary. You may
see the same ones two or three times in
a day or an evening, and that gives the
impression of large number being in
toxicated,"
Chaplain Charlton stated that he had
secured over 5000 signatures to the
total abstinence pledge among the
sailors.
William Murphy followed with an
eloquent tribute to the men and speak
ing of their loyalty to the contrary.
"Just think of the bottling up of San
tiago harbor," said Mr.. Murphy, when
Hobson offered to bottle up that harbor
a request was sent to all the ships for
volunteers to go with him and every
hand on every ship went up. There
was not a midshipman not willing to
sacrifice his life for his country.
"That was one of the heroic deeds.
Admiral Cervera, who went to the res
cue of Hobson, himself helped him out
with his own hands and said 1t was the
bravest and most heroic act of any
man. In MORO castle Hobson and his
little band were treated with distin-
guished attentions because their brav-
cry was admired by their enemy"
