Too Much Independence.
A Fourth of July Story.
BY Patten Beard.

Really, tie GroEiy-grouch was not 2

& puppy. with little black ears that fappsd
over his eyes and tiny bit of q black
stubby tail.
The trouble with the Growiy-e-ouch was

srovled II order 10 make people Go as he
wanted, and he never never minded his

him She always laughed when he growIed
and let him have his own way
So the Groviy-grouch grew up brought

When Sally said NO, Gobbo, you can't

Sally laughe5 at him and let him chew Il

So Growly-burch cl1ewed Up all sorts of

a HOUSE OF BRANCHES.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: One
summer we went into the country TO spend
the summer. NY chum and 1 wished 10
have place all to ourselves, go we built a
house Of branches. II was pretty hard TO
make. but when We at last got It up 1T
as cool and green a bower as one
would wish to see. This is how we built It:
We had two long branches shaped like
singshots which were hammered straight
up in the ground about two yards apart
Across them we laid q long straight pole
Then we got large double ieafy branches
and laid them over the pole We then
worked in the little branches where there
were holes SO that we soon had dear little
shady bower, in which we talked ana
played games all through the hot SUM-
mer Hoping my story will please the lit
tie readers of The Tribune, I remain, your
constant reader.

over the Iberian peninsula, in Spain as
well as IN Portugal. the Papacy has
turned against the King and practically
declared war upon him.
1t is war for the defence of the re-

dom of HIS most Catholic majesty The
episcopacy. the clergy and the religious
orders in Spain have been relieved by
the Holy See of the prohibition imposed
upon them by Leo XIII to refrain from
countenaneing in any way the Carlist
cause. This is, of course, equivalent to
an encouragement TO them from Rome
to throw in their lot from henceforth
with Don Jaime, the Carlist Pretender,
and their devotion to him will be all the
more emphatic and vigorous since his
success means not only the preservation
of their present property and preroga
tives, but the acquisition of additional
rights and power.
Don Jaime himself has been given to
that he would be free from
as far as the Vatican is con-
to take any steps that he saw fit
with a view to the enforcement of his
claims to the throne; and if he reappears
in Spain to head a Carlist rising it will
be as the champion of the Church and

Ex:AHache Takes Gloomy View of the Spanish Situation

! Senior Canalejas is the first Spanish
/ Premier TO grapple with the revision OF
the concordat question with energy anG
vigor. Most OF his predecessors in office
had pledged themselves to deal with the
subject, but had been afraid to put their
promises into execution, and the rank
and file of the Liberal party had become
so discouraged by what they regarded
as q betra val of their interests that they
We're drifting away zen masse" into the
Republican camp. II was TO arrest this
wholesale desertion and in the hope of
retaining the Liberals together as a
party, loyal TO the dynasty that Cana :
lejas set to work in real earnest TO re-
wise the concordat
Confronted by the pretensions Of the
Vatican from the very outset of the
negotiations and with the object of
bringing pressure TO bear upon the
Papacy, the Spanish Premier announced
his intention OF enforcing TO the letter
the provisions of the Concordat Of 1851.
These imposed a number of restrictions
upon the Church which have been far
more honored in the breach than in the
observance Thus. the Concordat limits
the number of religious orders in the
kingdom 70 less than hundred. whereas
to-day there are nearly four thousand
orders most OF them owning property
and enjoying exemption from taxation,
as Wen as other privileges. that strictly
speaking should belong only to the or
ders provided for by the treaty of 1851.
II is not merely that these unauthorized
landed property, but they are also en-
gagged all over Spain in industry and
commerce. some of them even owning
steamship lines, and the very fact that
they have been permitted TO go untaxed
has given them enormous advantages
over their lay rivals in business. and has
been q source of constant bitterness to
the latter.

geraniuns. and in the centre a large bunch
of August lilies. l keep the grass cut close
about it, and it looks quite nice. I have
picked hundreds of pansies this spring and
given them away. I dearly love flowers,
and my flower bed Is my first thought in
the morning after uncover Polly
Perhaps the Little Men and Little Women
readers Of The Tribune would like TO know
the story 1 am told about the pansies
There are five leaves to the pansy. two are
plain and three are of many coIors. am
told that the coored leaves represent a
mother and her two daughters, very much
dressed; the plain ones are her step-daugh-
tiers, who. are dressed very much more
plainly than her own daughters / am
sorry to think that step-nnothers could be
so partial Pansies are affectionate little
flowers, and love to be planted near the
house. Mine are just under the dining
room windows. They always turn their
faces to the sun We have had 80 much
