GAINING

PROBABLY WILL CONTROL,
EVEN WITHOUT AID OF
IRISH NATIONALlSTS.
(By United Press)

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-unless the
conservatives take a decided brace
during the remaining days of the
national parliamentary, elections, it
is predicted today that the liberals
and laborites will be able to con-
troll the next parliament without
the aid of the Irish nationalists.
1t is estimated, based upon the
solid liberal representation usually
returned from Scotland and Wales,
that the total conservatives gain
will be but eighty seats, as the
laborites are making some slight
gains, and the liberals may be able
to lose ninety seats without losing
control of parliament.

Official Fish Stories.

Professor Prince of the Canadian service reports the discovery of fisf which, tough and ugly in it's outward form, sings with what may be req mothers tenderness to it's young, de veloping from the spawn. From Pro- lessor Seal of our own bureau Of fish, cries meanwhile we have the story of the "Gambusia affinus," a 6nny llipu- tfan of the South Atlantic coast, which makes speciality of hunting out mos quito larvae and eating them by the million. Thus we have the two best fish stories of the dawning summer season from bureaucratic sources. They may be accepted without affidavits Possibly also without reservation. In point Of the practical value of the findings involved, it is plain that our expert has much the advantage of his Canadian colleague.
 There is no evidence that the voice of the singing "Poric htl1ys posissimus' can be cultivated. It is not even cer- tain that the fish could be trained to warble on schedule hours at contin- uous roof garden. Presumably this bit of creation must remain among the freaks which nature cherishes but does not explain or excuse.
 For the mosquito-gobbler. on the contrary we perceive an immediate mission.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR
 NOTHING.

The class that among business men of every character is a vexation, if nothing worse, is the class that is looking for an opportunity to get something for nothing; and in the ag- gregate it is a large class and has to be catered to in many ways, and hu- mored occasionally. Because a per son is engaged in philanthropic work, or is an "old subscriber,J or a society is poor, free advertising is asked for. and it is so often obtained that it amounts to a great tax. This demand in volume if acceded to would bankrupt any concern; but asked for separately it looks to the pleader or petitioner as a little affair and a de- nial is regarded as a sample of mean ness almost incomparable. Civic so- cieties of every character ask the trade and the press for gifts and are often Vexed and not infreQuently retalfate because their requests have to be de- nied to make outgo and income prop erly balance.
 A rational view of things is not as common as one might suppose. The joy of giving things away would be great if the compensation did not have to be sacrificed. It is surprising how much is given away in every place by the business men who appear to
 
 it does them good to be bled: and who have felt compelled in some cities to combine for self protection in a de- nial of petitions of every class for aid
 Trying to get something for nothing is not a virtue-it is only a habit It may be necessity, and then it is on the same level with any other form of begging and should not be given the dignity of a legitimate claim, for it depends wholly upon the ability, Hber- ality and good -heartedness of the par ty appealed to for recognition and rec ompense.
 There Is no shrewdness in getting something for nothing, although many persons think there is. There may he some tact about it; and it would be winning trick were it not a fact that those who pretend to give something for nothing in trade drive a sharD bargain and often make larger profits than those who do not, so the hallu- cination is maintained while the wall let of the hallucinated is heavily drawn upon.
 It will be a happier and more prof itable day for all when these follies of life are abandoned and fair pIav is the motto Of all but the impecuni ous; then the poor will be more am- ply provided for and the greedy and selfish will get square deal instead of being made the victims of false pretence created to meet the false premises upon which they essay to do business.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
THEIR TALK

Speaking Of the insurgent move ment,' began the horse doctor, it ap- pears to me"
 Speaking of the insurgent move 1nent, interrupted the superintend- ent of the village school, reminds me that the Dutch have taken Holland, and that William the Conqueror has been dead for several years. Then why, ask should the spirit of mortal be proud ?''
 You may know what you're talking about but I'll be hanged if I do," said the horse doctor. T was saying that the insurgent movement@
 T know just what you intended to say. I have heard you say it seven times a day for six months We, the people of this brainy suburb assemble here in the post office for social pur- poses and the conversation always goes the same old round. Nobody ever thinks of talking about anything in teresting- It's always politics-poll- tics-politics. There isn't a man in the bunch who can shed any light on the insurgent movement, or advances an opinion that hasn't been sprung a million times before, and nobody cares a cent what our individual or collect i've opinions may be. If we talked for forty-seven years and six months we'd never get any further than we are now. So why not break loose and talk about things we understand?
 by so dolnS Weu sel an e4ce4ieit example, for in every village in the United States the leading citizens are doing the same thing that we do. They sit around in the post office or the cor ner grocery. or the blacksmith shop, and talk about the insurgent move ment, or the tariff, or the obability of g. democratic congress. This thing of talking politics is the besetting sin of the American people. In units us for mutual entertainment.
 Now our friend the horse doctor has been in the business for a quarter of a century. He has travelled over all kinds of roads, in all kinds of weather. His life has been eventful. He should be able to tell dozens of interesting stories. which would be instructive as well as entertaining. Set good ex- ample, doc, and drop the insurgent
