WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MODERN BABES IN THE WOOD

for a little boy of 8, and moreover he
was growing sleepy himself. The
noises OF the wood frightened him.

= HE Babes in the Wood?" OF
course you've heard OF them We'll,
here is a story OF some modern
babes" The babes" in question, Alice
and Dick, strolled away from their
mothers one day when picnicking in
the woods.
Don't want to play tag any more"
Alice had said suddenly throwing her
self down on fallen log.
"oh, come on. just love it," replied
Dick.
Let's go and pick blackberries," sug-
gested the changeable Alice
Fine idea. Let's"
And so they started off on a quest
that all children enjoy. On and on they
went, deeper and deeper into the wood,
but no blackberries could they find.
At last poor Alices steps began to lag
and wearily she took short breaths.
"Are you tired?" asked Dick.
A sob was his answer, for Alice had
fallen with exhaustion.
Our "babes" rested a while and Dick
tried to console Alice, but she could
not be comforted. So the search for
berries had to be abandoned Then
they started to walk back toward the
picnic grounds, but alasi they could not
find the right road. Dick shouted at
the top of his voice, but there was no
response This continued until dusk
They walked and then took long rests
in between. At last they had to stop
altogether.
I'm so sleepy" announced Alice.
"1'll make a bed of leaves for you"
said Dick gallantly. He was a brave
little fellow and hadn't complained
bit.
"All right; please do"
Dick set to work gathering leaves,
Alice, with her hands folded in her
lap, looking on as if she were a prin-
cess and he her servant. At last after
much scurrying about the bed was fin
shed and Alice cuddled down appar-
emily to sleep.
ITS not as nice as my real bed at
home" she sleepily complained; then
after remaining quiet for a long time
she asked, why don't you make a bed
for yourself?"
Not yet, but soon."
1t was quite dark now and the Ian
guage of the forest creatures sounded
very, very creepy to Alice.

gun"
At this brave little Dick picked up
q stick Of goodly size and said that
should be his gun,
"All right" said Alice, with a sleepy
voice. "You Kill the bear if he comes"
Back and forth Dick trudged. The
stick was becoming somewhat heavy

TIN scaredr she cried.
Never mind, I'm here" said Dick
reassuringly.
Just the same, I'm real scared"
Wen, to make you feel safe I'll
mount guard"

she said. "Just suppose a real live bear
should come creeping along, you

Making Her Boy a Thief

This saw: -
 A little boy with a wagon was rum r,a e,ng about partly completed bouse He was putting into the wag- on blocks of wood that struck nls fancy and helping himself to the nails and wood screws left by the carpeters in their boxes.
 The boy watched carefully about the nremises to see if any one might be looking. He appeared to be afraid lest he be caught.
 On the other side of the street the boys mother kept an eye on her little sonn and smiled to him encourag1ngly es he made his foray on the property. And then, the wagon piled high with the loot. they went up the street, each laughing at the success of the raid.
 When I saw that I was sorry-sorry for the boy, sorry for the mother
 was quite sure, knowing the won- an. that she did not realize what she was doing. Had she studied the mat ter seriously she would have com nelled the little lad to empty his wag- on of every bit Of wood and stuit' She would have taken that occasion to impress upon his young mind the sacredness of property.
 She would have said
 Now, my boy, remember this: Never take what does not belong to you. however, small 1t may be, without first asking permission of the owner"
 Instead, she was making her boy thief!
 She was giving him an easy first lesson in larceny and coaching him in the practice of 1t with her smiles.
 What was the lesson?
 Help yourself to what you want in the absence of the owner, but be care- ful you are not found outi
 The seed was sown in a fertile young mind and, if not rooted up, will grow to the day of reaping.
 That boy as the years go os IS likely to widen his endeavors to get something for nothing, and surrepti- tiously.
 Or
 Some day he may stand In the pris- oners dock and his mother will wiring her hands and exclaim: My boy! How did he ever learn to become thief?'

reasonable enough in his prices, at least for what he professed to supply. For 15 francs a customer could become pes sessed of 'tal1-powerful ring which gave him such strength of will that success in his enterprises was assured For 10 francs he could have a negative ring which spread confusion among his ene- mics. Then there was the amulet which brought luck for the modest sum of 71a francs. There was. however, such rush after these rings and amulets that their vender is supposed to have made greatly from this traffic. Proceedings were taken against him when some dis appointed buyers discovered that they were not all powerful, that their enemies were still flourishing, and that in the matter of luck, they were going on pretty much as usual Asked by the presiding judge why he had dubbed himself a pro- lessor of physical science. Are you wearing your ring. by the way?" Yes, was the reply. Then" remarked the judge dryly, you should have styled yourself a professor of physical sciences. But you are not wearing the ring. Well, I am an explorer and I do not need to develop my will. If their have been victims, most of them have been will ing ones. and are silent

Milking To Music

A Michigan farmer contends that COWS give more milk while music is being ren- dered.
 In order to test his theory MT. Lederer, manager of the Olympic theatre, Chi cago, lent his entire orchestra of nine instruments and went to the farm of Mrs Scott Durand, a society woman whose fad is dairying.
 The 61 Jerseys and Holsteins on the farm were milked to such tunes as "rhe Blue Danube" and other soothing strains. The milkers claim the nerves of the cows were calmed and their udders gave down more readily.
 Music impregnated milk Is a fact, not a theory. according to this unique expert ment.
 In order to further demonstrate the matter the orchestra shifted from the soft. alluring airs to ragtime music.
 The cows grew restive
 "Horrorsr' exclaimed Mrs. Durand. Stop it!'
 Then the musicians glided into selec- ton from 'sTosca,n "I Live for Love and Music" and the cows became quiet and contented again.
 Well, why not?
 The entire party was convinced, and Mrs. Durand will equip her barns with several eO cO NSSN SN~A'A'o milking time.
 The Michigan farmer, with smaller number of cows, has used photograph for two years.
 Moreover
 It is the settled policy of both the Michigan dairyman and Mrs. Durand that exceedingly kind treatment of the cows Is essential to the best results. On either of these farms the employee who would kick or beat the cows or habitually em- ploy abusive language toward them is instantly discharged
 The moral Is plain.
 Leaving the discussion to the psycholo- cists. we may ask, If music and Kindness are productive of good results as to cows, why not use 1t on humans?
 Those Key West cigar manufacturers who employ readers and musicians to en- certain the employees while they work at the benches are wise.
 Music hath charms to soothe the saw age beast" and so has kindness.
 Should we employ music and kindness less to our loved ones than to our cows
 Some will laugh at the claim that more milk and better milk can be got from cows by means of music and kindness.
 Rut then some will also deny that music and kindness properly employed will pay when applied to humans,

speaker. Cannon will have a record ot four consecutive terms when the pres ent Congress expires, March 4, 1911.

There is a growing belief here that President Tatt will recommend to Con gress next winter the passage of q law giving to the United States juris- diction and control over the large life insurance companies.
 It is said that several of the large life insurance and casualty companies would welcome Legislation that would place them under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission. and these companies like many of tic large corpora tions, 1t is said, are work ing up a sentiment in favor of tl,e Presidents bill to grant federal char ters to corporations doing an inter- state business.
 zThe federal charter bill was intro duced last session by Representative ye Parker of New Jersey, chairman of the judiciary committee, and referred to that committee. but owing to certain influences the bill was never consid- cred by the committee. However, It will be taken up early this coming De- cember and an effort made to put 1t through the House with an amendment to cover life insurance and casualty companies.

The RebeIlious Mir. Murdock

Writing in the Popular Magazine of Vic tor Murdock, who is hi the forefront of the insurgent band at Washington, James Hay, Jr., has this to say, among other things:
 l"When it comes to insurging, resurging and surging again, Victor Is the boy who wins the prize. He Is on the job every minute, with hostile signals flying. the bands playing daredevil tunes, and every body wrought up to frenzy, not to say phrenzy, which is worse.
 He fights Cannon with his hands, both feet, his tongue his pen, and by wreless. For Victor is not of the oyster brand of statesman. He talks, and he talks right out in meeting.
 ITO every deserving man comes a re- ward Murdock has gotten his. The speaker, besides not speaking to him, craftily and carefully dropped him to the fcot of his committee-the committee on postoffices and post roads-and until re-

gently, there was no outlook for any ad- vancement for him in the House. This is changed by the recent events, which in sure Cannons not being speaker again.
 But, given up as he is to the fight to change further the rules of the House, the rebellious MT. Murdock cherishes other ambitions. Say 1t softly, and then, in the calm of the evening. when deep thought and long remination and poetic dreams are the rule, repeat it Der and o'er: He wants to get out of Congress and devote all his time to running the Wichita Daily Eagle And he will quit the congressional game as soon as the rules are fixed to suit him.

Farmers Fortunes in Cedar Rails

fTOIn Leslie g.
 According to the news dispatches. sud- den riches are flowing in upon the rail- splitting farmers in old Tennessee cedar districts In Lincoln's time the fences were made of cedar and as the worlds supply is greatly reduced. the manufac- turers of cedar lead pencils are offering to the farmers of Tennessee for their old cedar fences what their forefathers would have considered fabulous sums." Is 1t possible that these trust busting. railroad-smashing farmers. who have been bitterly denouncing the owners of tainted wealth, are willing to accept these fabulous prices for worn-out cedar fences? Of course it is. Human nature is the same the world over. The farmers are entitled to all that they can get for their cedar fences. The more they can get from the pencil makers the more they will have to spend for the necessities of life and the adorn- ments of their home. We are glad of 1t. Let us all be happy together. But what will the muck-rakers say?
