Program of Allies

The program tentatively agreed upon
by the allies was to vote down the
previous question on the adoption OF
the rules Monday, and if the amend
ment to the rules providing a commit
tee to select committees is voted down,
to propose that the committee on rules
be elected by the house. The demo-
cratic conferees are said to have de-
clared they could line up the entire
democratic delegation for the latter
amendment.
The regulars claim to have the prom
ises of several democrats not to vote
with their party for the various amend
ments and deny that the insurgent
forces Will number 30.

The Tracy's goat was well
known all over the ward for phil
osopher and an optimist. Trouble
went not with his long, white
beard, and laughter followed in
the wake of his red express.
Before his coming there had
been strife and unhappiness in the
house of Tracy. The baby had
been peaked and fretful; the twins
had fought too much even for
twins; Mrs. Tracy had brooded toe
long on the hallowed memory OF
her famous ancestors, and Tracy
himself lost his rotundity of face
and responsiveness of smile In the
constant struggle with butcher and
baker and candlestick maker.
But with the coming of the goat
bright fortune smiled. Daniel Alex
ander Tracy, the baby, rode the
animals back into the sunshine OF
health and rosiness. The twins had
ceased their brawling to devise
quaint Harvesting schemes for the
new pet. Mrs. Tracy forgot the
blessed dead and made beautiful
blue ribbon collar for the goat,
which he afterwards chewed off;
and Tracy laughed the rotundity
back into his face, and with 1t the
energy and resourcefulness into
bis system. So they named the
goat the Knave of Hearts, and ey-
erybody waxed fat and prospered.
The Knave of Hearts had very
peculiar notions as to diet and for
age. For instance, he had always
displayed strange love for things
of blood-red hue. He had been
known to nibble for hours at a
crimson painted lamppost, and his
favorite brand of canned goods
wrappers was the kind that shows
the huge scarlet tomatoes - the
twins were quite sure that the
Knave also ate the can. The
0'Briens next door had to guard
Mr.. O'Brien's vivid shirts on the
clothesline regularly every Monday
and on Decoration day the Knavt
made tidbit of half the flags on
the block.
Things were In this happy STATE
when Mrs. Tracy came into posses
sion of the Hyderbald Ruby. Il
was q heritage from the blessed
ancestors, and the presence of tbs
splendid, red gem seemed to brinf

Once upon a time a beautiful

In the forest. She liked him very
much, and told him she would
grant whatever wish he most de-
|sired.
He Wondered what he would
like to have above all else, and
thought hard for minute, then
said. Fairy princes. my greatest
desire is that may never die"
The princess was surprised, but
kept her word, and made it posi-
BILE for him to live forever. He
grew old steadily, but could not
die, for he had wished to live al
ways.
But he began to grow smaller
and smaller, till after hundreds of
years he was only about two inches
long. His skin turned brown, and
HIS voice became shrill. Then no
forgot how to talk, and could only

He loves to spend his days

slaves, bought outright in Africa.
The matter is serious one, SO
serious, indeed, that officials OF
the Portuguese government are
aroused to the necessity of.reform,
and are said to be about to call
upon the United States, as the
country using most of the cocoa
produced in the slave-worked dis
tricts, to boycott the product.
Such boycott would probably
affect the price of cocoa and all
chocolate products. 1t might even
raise the price of chocolate soda
and fudge. and thus impress the
strange fact upon the mind of the
girl consumer that she is helping
to free a slave.
1t Is not always an adult slave,
either. In a letter recently pub
lished by the London Spectator,
England's most conservative jour-
nal, a friend of the editor writes
under the date of July s of hav-
ing himself seen a cargo of boys
and girls sold at a station in
Angola, Portuguese West Africa,
and shipped to the coast for the
cocoa trade. When he got to Lo-
bito bay, the writer says, he saw
another Portuguese steamer which
had taken on $50 slaves bound for
San Thome.

admirer of Mrs. Young's ability.
The young teacher was taking ex-
ira work at the university, and
completed courses necessary to
doctors degree At the end of
that time DR.. Harper made her a
full professor of pedagogy at the
university.
Mrs. Young didn't like the word
pedagogy and got it changed
to the department of education"
In 1903 Mrs. Young was called
to be head of the Chicago nor
NAL, where she has remained ever
since.
The new superintendent was
married in 1868 to VIM. Young, a
Chicago merchant. The husband
was already marked for consump-
ton, and died in the first year of
their married life. There were
no children.
Mrs. Young believes in getting
close to the pupils and to the 9TH
er teachers. AS head of the nor
NAL school, she gave little parties
at her home every week instead
of formal teachers meetings. The
teachers would discuss school af-
fairs over cup of coffee and a
light luncheon. Mrs. Young is a
woman of great force and charae-
ter, but has always had the en-
thusiastic support of the other
teachers.
The new superintendent first
position in the Chicago schools
paid her $25 a month. Her new
|one pays $4,000 year.
