n a certain garden which sloped to
the sea on one side and edged a
- great pine forest on another, a
group of merry children played day by
day.
The mother at the window, bending
over her work, would raise her head
with a tender smile and a low song of
thanksgiving would rise from her heart.
Again, the workmen breaking the stones
in the roadway would pause in their
labor and softened expressions pass
over their faces; the butcher boy
stopped his merry whistle to listen; the
housemaidS ceased their chatter at the
sound. But the older boys and girls
grew impatient of restraint and longed
to grow up and sally forth to aid in
the work of the world and to share
its knowledge. SO they persuaded the
younger ones to join them in venturing
forth secretly from the garden gates.
I'VE will go first to the sea-" said
they, land ask 1t to tell us Of it's wis
dom and TRUTH
So they went to the waters edge
20, mighty ocean," they pleaded, I'VE
pray you to tell to us what the song
is you are singing?"
Then answered the sea to them:
ALAS, cannot tell! The song have
sung so long, that have sounded from
my great, green depths and flung to all
the beaches of the world, is the
song have learned from the sWaying
branches of the pine. Into the forest
you must go and ask it to tell you the
meaning Of my song!"
Somewhat abashed, the children
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-31

turned aside and wandered into the
forest of pines.
ooh, pine tree pleaded they, "what
is the song you are singing?"
With a murmur which SWayed the
clusters of shining needles and cones,
the pine tree replied: "Oh, children,
dear children, know no song save that
which the birds have taught me. They
build their nests in my branches, and
from them their little ones are Matched
and taught to fly, and it is their joy
Gus chatter which teaches me to sing.
Ask Of them whence they learned the
song
Patiently the children turned aside.
They discovered quite close to them
little wren, who with outstretched
throat burst into song. And what the
bright-eyed bird sang of taught them
the source of its song.
1T is to the sweetness of the wind
that owe my power to sing" chirped
he. "It is the greatest singer of US
ALL Without 1t the birds could not
fly, the pine tree murmur, nor the
ocean roar. The wind alone knows the
secret of our song"
Sorrowful1y the children wandered
on. But now the south wind first blew
upon them with balmy breath, then
the north wind with icy blast, the east
wind with chilling damp, and the west
wind with braeing clod. One and all
they whispered with various voices
that the secret of song is love.
And the children, filed with delight
at the knowledge they had gained,
wandered back to their garden, We'll
content with the love which kept them
there. AMY SMITH.

London, tells Of an amusing interviews
between the owner of publication il

Bernard Shaw had been the dramatic
critic. and Max Beerbohm, on the oc

The owner advised Max of the sal
airy that had been paid George Der

Being comparatively inexperienced
you, Mr.. 'Beerbohm, cannot, of course,
expect SO much"
'Oh, yes, shall!" hastily interposed
Max. Indeed, 1 shall expect more.

bility might cause the loss OF life.
Lacking nothing in bravery, they re-
luctantly faced a crisis rather than
brook humiliating domination. Their
answer therefore was bellicose.
Germany at once began an ominous
assembling Of her fleets in strategic
waters from which on a moments no
tice they might sail forth. France
stood automatically aloof, hoping per-
haps that when the world had wearied
Of fighting she might be in position
to gain by plunging into the fray.
Alsace Lorraine was still mourned,
and her monument in the Place dc la
Concorde draped.
Then, at the very moment when it
seemed that England would be COM
PEELED to beat back an invading army
from her shores there came an unex-
pected lull. The British press had
been predicting declaration Of war
within "a hours, when the change took
place. At the first days delay the
we'll informed wondered. and when
two days had passed, and finally three,
IL became certain that some very un-
usual event had taken place In Ber-
lin.
Rumors began to creep to London,
to Paris, and soon the whole world
knew, despite Germany's attempts to
keep the matter a secret, that on the
very eve Of crisis the kaiser, the
most dominant figure in Europe, had
disappeared. Nor was that all.
AS II to emphasize the fact that 1t
could have been through no mental
alteration that he had gone, the chan
cellor of Germany had disappeared at
the same time. That something mex
plicable had taken place was known
within a few hours after the kaiser
and chancellor were last seen. On
the night Of their disappearance they
had been closeted together with the
most trusted military adviser of the
empire. This latter officer, fatigued
by duties which had tried him beyond
his years, had left the consultation
at midnight In the room where 1t
was held there was telephone used
only by certain privileged ones who,
by means of a stated signal to the
switchboard operator, could gain COM
munication. Who these were none but
the kaiser knew.
This operator told the secret service
men of the empire that few minutes
past midnight he had answered a call
and received the password which
caused him to make the desired con-
nection with the emperor's telephone,
and a conversation of some minutes
ensued, which, owing to the arrange
ment of the instruments, he was I'M
able to hear.
The guards of the palace were
called TO the council room and in
structed by the kaiser in person to adj
NIT man who would present a plain
card within a few minutes. They re-
ported that carriage drove up to the

ed the cook, according to Mrs. Spader.
Indeed I'm not; / refuse to be fired

With that, Mrs. Spader alleges, the
cook picked up rolling pin and start
ed toward her. Mrs. Spader fled to
her room and summoned the butler.
He was delegated to go and tell Mary
that she had been discharged.
The butler started kitchenward, and.
according to his story, as he entered
he saw the cook among mass of
broken dishes and hurting other dishes
against the wall. And all the time the
butler alleges she shouted: ITS fired

with the woman, but she turned upon
him with rolling pin in her hand.
The butler reiterated with the cook
close upon his heels.
By this time the staff Of servants
was demoralized. Mrs. Spader was in
her room and most of the servants
had locked themselves in their rooms.
Flourishing the rolling pin, Mary wan
dered through the house from room to
room, battering on the locked doors
with her weapon and daring anyone
to come out and fight. They pleaded
with her through barricaded doors,
but she refused to desist.
Mrs. Spader finally decided to tele-
phone to the police. When Policeman
Fitzgibbon arrived he says Mary was

The policemen sent for the police

they closed in on Mary. In the strug-
gle she kicked off both shoes, but was
made prisoner. and, without the
shoes, was taken in the wagon to the
station house, and locked up.

Told Them They Might Search Him.

Britain. The Hohenzollerns, line of
warriors, still held the ancient throne,
and the kaiser was ambitious for his
country's advancement. An astute
ruler Of exceptional capacity, he al
ready had advanced Germany's flag
Of trade beyond all seas. and by this
means alone practically dominated all
of South America. In all earlier days
of this trade conquest the United
States had been busted in her home
enterprises, saying to herself that
when she chose she could find way
to take the traffic Of the southern con-
tinent with ease. With her eyes swad
died in silly egotism, she had waited
till too late, and then, when her band
ages were removed, suddenly learned
that commercial brains were not con-
fined to America alone. The sleeping
giant had lost commercial supremacy
in o continent which was hers by right
of location and needs, to race Of in
dustrious workers across the sea.
Nor had Germany neglected her
fight for trade at home. There, too,
she found cyclists, so swollen with
self-sufficiency that by disastrous
tariff methods they had been bested.
England, failing to protect her pro-
ducers had driven her own farmers and
carriers from the field, until, as one dis.
gruntled farmer said: You can't pick
up a cabbage in stall which don't
bear the words made in Germany
and If a new crown was needed for the
king, Germany would have stood fair
chance of booking the order. In
natural revulsion which had reached
fever heat before the Japanese-Ameri-
can war broke out, England was try.
ing to obstruct this encroachment.
The feeling thus engendered between
the two nations eliminated in one of
envy on the part of Great Britain and
one of hatred on the part of Germany.
The kaiser, calmly reviewing times
and conditions, decided that the time
had come to strike.
England, with power sadly dimin-
ished through the loss of her great
fleet, and at the mercy of the United
States in her richest colony, stood
open to attack. While she was still
mourning defeat, Germany took ex
ception to the tariff laws in very
carefully worded message. 1t was one
that under normal circumstances
would have provoked demands for
apologies, or, in a refusal of such, al
most instant war; But now the lion
was driven to temporize. That the
kaiser hoped for an open rupture and
intended to leave no stone unturned
for such an outcome, was demon
strated by his sending more eurtly
worded notes.
The English press retailed these
to the public, and accused the kaiser
Of deliberately plotting war with a
foreign country to Offset the spread of
socialism which threatened him at
home, hoping by combat abroad TO re-
unite his own people.
The kaiser demanded an apology
from the British press; but English
men were not accustomed to bending
the knee, even though the lack Of fexi-
