He had watched Ted pick up the orange.
He said, What did you take that orange

N a good deal, for little Patrick
TIk@5NI helped to earn a good part of
sS the living, which meant rent,
coal, provisions and clothing. Patrick had
two sisters-both younger than himself
which goes to prove that they were not
old enough to be Of assistance in the bat
tie for existence, for Patrick was only IA
years old. The sisters, Mary and Katie,
were aged 10 and 7, respectively.
Mrs. Toole had found the problem or
making a living for herself n three chill
dren q pretty serious one. and the first
two years OF her widowhood want had
often stared them In the face. But that
was before Patrick was old enough and
big enough to put his shoulder to the
wheel. But ever since his twelfth birth
day Patrick had really been the head Of
the house. And many a load on his
mothers back he had lightened.
Soon after his fourteenth birthday Pat
rlek-commonly known as Patsy-came
home one evening to say to his mother;
"Momsey, / have decided to buy out a
business. What do you think Of it?'
OF course, Mrs. Toole was astonished at
Patsy's statement and hardly knew what
answer TO make to his question. Why
son. how do I know what to think of 1t
till you explain what sort Of a business
ohlld? she said. And how on the earth
are you going to buy out any business,

OF Just a mere living and bless my soul,

the good woman sighed deeply, but smiled
at her r~ed-headed. freckled-faced boy OF
whom she was 50 fond. Eyes, that's true.
Patsy. Sometimes we don't ever get a

"Out on you, Momsey. Tor saying that

BY Ronald Wyckoff, Ex-RinR. AGED n
Years. WILDER, Neb. Red Side
One day a shy fox was walking in a
green meadow where all the birds werS
singing sweet songs. The fox saw the
birds and then said to himself, "Ha, they
will make me a fine dinner Tor I am very

He watched the birds until they were
where he could reach them. Soon as they
touched the ground he sprang upon them
As he was walking along he said, What
a fine dinner they win make" There was
q well in the ground, and It could not be
seen for the snow. he got nearer and
nearer to the well. then all at once he fell
into 1t. He was SO frightened that he
dropped the birds.
At last, the fox was killed. and the birds
flew back to their nests. and 80 that ~

DEPEW REELECTED
BOOM is LAUNCHED

WASHINGTON Special. AN or
ganized movement for the reelection
Of Chauncy M. Depew to the United
States Senate began here. when the
Senator and Mrs. Depew received in
honor OF the Republican Editorial
Association OF New York. Fifty-four
editors. coming from every section of
the State, with their wives and daugh-
ters, were present at the function.
During the afternoon many OF the
visiting editors were closeted with
Senator Depew at the Capitol dis
cussing the situation in their respec-
tive localities. During the evening
there were frequent opportunities for
seriously considering the political stu
alton although the affair was sche-
duled to be purely social.
Senator Depew will present his
visiting friends to President Taft to-
morrow and possibly be given some
kind of an o. K. by the Chief EXecu-
tive. If nothing better, he will be
patted on the back and his guests
made to feel that his services are ap-
preciated away from home If not in
the State. At night a dinner will be
given to the editors by Mr.. Depew.
