more noble than l am. and l feel heartily
ashamed. I've been made to see things
in another light than what they ap-
peared to me little while ago.
That's all right" said Jack. But his
tone was not as cordial as Fred would
have liked. I'm glad you see the matter
in it's true light. Otherwise. l fear-we-
might never have been such good-frienus
again.
But just at this point Jack had to jump
around the corner. Sc he waved good
bye to Fred and was on the ground in a
jiffy, running to his own house, where
his mother met him at the door, Before
she could say hardly word to him,
Jack was holding up the leather case
and explaining how it came into his
possession. Then. the story finished, he
replied to her question:
Did you have a fine day. sonny? Your
cheeks are as bright as roses"
''Oh. a glorious day. mommy But
where's dad?" And Jack put his hat,
coat and luggage on the hall rack.
GO right into the library, son, and
you'll find dad and somebody else there"
explained Jacks mother.
Jack ran into the library, and the first
person he set eyes on was the tall gen.

about 10 pass out of the car Jack saw a
small leather case, with broken strap,
living in the aisle under the end OF

him as comfortable as she could-she

spread it on the ground for the dog
to lie on-she hurried homeward as fast
as she could run. 1t was only two
blocks from the snow fort to Ethel's
home. and she covered the distance in
quick time Rushing into the house. she
called to her brother. who was sitting
beside the big, glowing heating stove
in the living ROOM "Oh, Bob get your

and well again, old doggie, and you'll
never have to wander about in the snow

dered Ia think of the suffering of the
homeless on the night just setting in.
Just as Ethel was passing big,
vacant lot-a place used by the boys in
the neighborhood as a playground, and
on which they had built a snow fort
she heard low whine. Surely that
was the wall of some dog. thought Ethel.
and she paused and looked around. Then
she saw small, dark form quivering
beside the wall of the snow fort, the
form Of a half-frozen dog. Her first
impulse was to take the dog in her arms
and carry him home. but on going to the
shivering fellow she saw that he was
too large and heavy for her little arms

some plan by which she might get the
poor Creature to her warm home. She
patted him on the head and he looked
up into her eyes SO gratefully, wagged
his tail feebly and tried to stand on his
feet But weakness. cold and hunger
had almost done their work with the
suffering animal. and he fell to the cold
ground again.

maybe we can build him up again.
''Oh, dogs are hardy creatures" ex-
planned Bob, and they Ave through all
sorts of privations. Well bring him
through. all right. if he has any strength
left to build on.
BY this time the children had reached
the snow fort and found the dog just
where Ethel had left him. Bob soon. had
the thin, shivering creature on the sled
and Ethel wrapped him IN the blanket
Then together the children drew the
sled to their own house.
They carried the dog into the living
room and placed him on rug near the
heating stove. He got up and took a
few feeble steps about the room. but
gladly returned to the rug where he
lay down
Ethel ran to the kitchen and got
bowl OF warm milk. This she fed to the
dog, and he tapped it as only a half
starved dog could Then a bit OF bread
dipped in meat gravy was given to him.
But Bob said he must not be fed too
much at once, for il might cause bad
results

Bob was not long in running to the
carriage shed. where he kept his fine
coasting sled. And when Ethel opened
the hall door she saw him at the gate
waiting for her. Come on. Sis he
called out.
Ethel put warm blanket on the sled
and away the two children went toward
the snow fort. As they hurried along
Ethel asked: Hasn't mamma come
home from shopping yet. Bob?''
No: she phoned few minutes ago
that she had gone to papa's Office and
would come home with him. Won't they

THE SNOW DRIFT

THE earth was covered with snow one day,
When three little children went out to play.
They climbed to the top OF drift OF SNOW
When all of sudden the crust fell through,
And down they went with dreadful crash;
To have climbed that drift very rash!
But one of the three-llis name was Ned

NO APPEAL TO MOB RULE
Roosevelt Explains Doctrine of "New
Nationalism."

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in his speech at River
head, l.. l., said that he is not talking
revolution in declaring his new po-
litical creed. Neither is he making
an appeal to mob rule. In stanch
defense of his doctrine of the New
Nationalism" he declared that he was
merely urging the application OF old
moralities to modern conditions. He
said:
81 don't intend to rely only on the
big corporations good nature to see
that the corporation does not do harm
against us. want to see such control
of the wealth now gathered for bust
ness uses as to favor the honest man
who uses the wealth genuinely for the
service of the public and to make the
dishonest man feel that he has to do
what is right, and il he doesn't feel
It we shall see to 1t that he does.
"This is my whole creed. That is
ali there is in it. There is no revolu-
ton in 1t. There is no appeal to mob
rule"
