Two little boys once ran a race
Their names were Bert and Fred.
They. both. struck up a lively pace
But Fred came out ahead.
Then little Bert grew very mad
Provoked almost TO swear,
Said little Fred had acted bad
And did not treat him fair.
The pole was mine said little Bert
Fred had no right 10 20.
And then he showed that he was hurt
To hear them praise Fred so.
Said Fred had fingered near the shore
Had failed to reach the pole
That he had used his Eskimo
fred's claims were all cajole.
But Fred possessed different turn
He did not lose his head.
And showed he felt but small concern
On what his rival said.
The people will decide the thing
III leave Il all to them.
And thus he knocked him from the
ring
tbs plain Fred's in the swim.
And so we find In every race
The chaps who raise the whine.
Are not the boys OF swiftest pace
But those who fail behind.

EVENTFUL DAY IN

Concluding Arguments and Division
on Budget Submitted BY the
Cabinet.

London, Nov. 30-This was day
in the history of the House of Lords
long to be remembered. The session
was given over to the concluding ar
guments and division on the govern
ments budget bill and the debate was
the most interesting that has been
heard in the upper chamber in many
years. The galleries were packed and
the peers whose presence was urg-
emily requested by party whips
gathered in force. Several peers who
had never even taken the oath of the
chamber were sworn in, in order that
they might vote. The archbishop of
York, the first speaker, said that if
he voted he would vote against Lord
Lansdowne's amendment. He deplor-
ed the introducing of the amendment
and was convinced that the budget
was not bad enough to justify the un-
precedepted course proposed by Lord
LansdoWne.

Racket and Wanders About
at Night.

Washington, Nov. 30.-President
Taft is developing into a twentieth
century Haroun Al Raschid. He is ac-
curing a habit of prowling around
the streets and parks of the capital
at night. When the conference on
the proposed changes to be made in
the Interstate commerce law ended at
10 O'Clock last night Secretary Dickin-
son and Attorney General Wickersham
We're leaving the executive Offices.
Hold on there a minute" called
the President. A moment later he
appeared struggling with the buttons
of his light overcoat. "How about a
Walk" he said Lets strike out"
Both said that stroll in the dark
was exactly the thing they had been
pining for. The stroll took them over
the wind swept reaches of the Poto-
mac river bottoms. The trio walked
briskly back to the White House
where the President waved a farewell
and disappeared.
So far as could be discovered no
secret service men hovered near the
party in the walk.
