up only seventeen convicts out of the
list of eighteen which had been given

asked the first suspect who passed by
his name and on hearing it said. Yes;
it is YOU He had him carried off.

On another occasion warder called
out the name Of an aged prisoner. A
lad who was playing ball in the gal

asked if he was wanted. Yes" was
the answer: come along" and the
next day the boy was guiiotined in

through his factory in Cleveland some
years ago Oh the lookout for new
IDEAS or anything which would aid the
progress Of business he overheard Il
little red headed lad remark:
"Wish had old Hanna's money and

The boy came to the office timidiy.
just a bit conscience stricken. wonder

and ready for the penalty. AS the lad
twisted his hands and nervously stood
on one foot before the gaze Of those
twinkling dark eyes fixed on him by
the man at the desk he felt the hand
of Uncle Mark on his shoulder:
$50 you wish you had old Hanna s
money and he was in the poorhouse
eh? Suppose your wish should be
granted. What would you do:"

Canine Etiquette.

In their relations with one another
dogs have keen sense of etiquette.
A we'll known traveller makes this I'M
expected remark about tribe of
naked black men living on one Of the
south sea islands: I'm their everyday
intercourse there is much that is stiff.
formal and precise" Almost the same
remark might be made about dogs.
Unless they are on very intimate terms
they take great pains never to brush
against or even to touch one another.
For one dog to step over another is 9
dangerous breach Of etiquette unless
they are special friends. 1t is no un-
common thing for two dogs to belong
to the same person and live in the
same house and yet never take the
slightest notice Of each other. We
have a spaniel so dignified that be

Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal of us?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods Of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How we'll he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Oats. This brand is
without rival; is packed in regular
packages, and in Theoretically sealed
tins for hot climates. 81

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.
A Perceptible Erift Toward the
Democratic Party.

In an address at Elizabeth, n. |
J., on Tuesday DR.. Woodrow |
Wilson. president Of Princeton
University, spoke hopefully
almost confidently, indeed-of /.
the probability that the people !
will soon transfer the control of
the national Government from
the Republican party to the
Democratic party. There are
evidences everywhere of a reac-
ton against the Republican poi
lcies. There is a perceptible
Grlft toward the Democratic par
ty. Everything depends, eli
course, upon the wisdom which
the Democratic partv dinlavs -
upon tie men ana Tie measures
with which it goes before the
country. And therefore, as DR..
Wilson well says, the Democrat
1t program should be one of popu-
lar politics, of common counsel,
Of responsible leadership.
| 1t used to be said that theDem-
ocratic party could always be
relied upon to blunder when it's
prospects were most encourage
ing, and thus, by playing into the
hands of its opponents, make it's
own defeat inevitable. But the
lines upon which the Democratic
campaign can be conducted with
reasonable prospects of success
in the Congressional elections
this year and in the Presidential
election in 1912 have been so
clearly defined by the people
themselves that blunder now
would be worse than a crime. 1t
would be inexcusable folly
and stupidity, in the political
sense, for the Dem cratic party
to give it's opponents any issue
by which they could divert the
attention of the voters from the
evils and excuses of Cannonism
> and Aldrichism, from the tariff
record of the Taft administration
; and from the open association oil
: the Republican party with the
| trusts.
i It is upon the lines which the
people themselves have laid dowr
