The Village Blacksmith.

Once there was man who kept a blacksmith shop.
 The shop was in a little village, and in front of it grew a large chestnut tree. The smith was large and strong His arms were as strong as iron bands, and his hair was black and long. He was always happy, because he owed not cent to any man.
 The people always knew he was in his shop, because they could hear his bellows and hear him swing his heavy sledge.
 The children liked to look in at the open door to see the flaming forge, and hear the bellows roar.
 The smith went to church on Sunday and sat among his boys.
 He heard his daughters voice sing

The Lady in the Moon.

Dear Uncle Jed: The other night as my sister, the baby, and myself were coming home with the milk, we noticed big, black cloud which had been quite a way before us on the way up, was about forty feet in front of us We then thought that clouds could run fast.
 When we were playing with the ba- by, my sister noticed 1he moon and told me to look at it. It was a nice, big, round, bright moon As we were looking at It we saw the Lady in the Moon, not the Man in the Moon. It looked as if the Lady had a shawl wrapped around her head The moon rocked just the same last night; and I think there is picture of a lady in the moon.-kathryn Hendrick, Taftyille

The Stubborn Pig.

T never had such a time getting a pig to market as I had the other morn ing.
 The speaker was a tall, thin Scotch man, such as one often meets in some parts of Canada. Turning to me, he said:
 T suppose where you live you never bother to drive pigs to market; but it's the fashion up here"
 What did this one do?" I asked.
 This morning I started out with my pig in wagon, and ofter I had gone little ways the pig jumped out of the wagon and ran home.
 The next day I tied his feet to- gether. Just before I came to the market the pig broke the strings and jumped out and ran home again.
 T did not know that the pig had jumped out until I had got to the market. Then I drove back home and found the pig in the pen.
 "The next day I butchered the pig and took him to market, and never owned any more pigs after that.-Rus- sell Whitehouse, Mansfield Center, Conn.

WOULD USE ARBITRATION


Copyright 1911 by United Press
Agent.)
Washington, March s7.-Jrhe
abolition of war is the practical end
of practical plan which, according
to President Taft today, promises to
mark one Of the very greatest steps
In the history of the world through
the medium OF arbitration. The
President has taken the lead In the
great movement or nations looking
toward this realization.
Through a special interview
granted by the President, the United
Press today is able to present his
views on this subject, Under the
unwritten law Of the White House,
the President Is not directly quoted.
Arbitration viii surely come as
the means OF settling international
disputes. Disarmament Is Incl
dental. 1t will follow as matter
course. The realization Of arbitra-
tion makes armament useless. The
way to dispose of armament Is TO
provide some means of settling in
ternationa1 disputes without the use
OF armament.
The first step is the formation of
the arbitration treaty with Great
Britain. The favorable manner In
which the suggestion has been re-
ceiyed In England speaks we'll for
it's early accomplishment. The fav-
orable Endorsement in France Is an
other indication that the time Is
ripe. When several big nations get
together with such treaties then the
others will come IN. 1t is right that
the United States should take the
first step In this movement. :
An arbitration treaty is an agree
ment between two nations to settle
disputes arising between them and
has no bearing whatever upon dis
pute between one Of the parties and
a third power.

frsm Runaway Rig.

LANDED ON HIS HEAD

AS the result of being pitched
head foremost from a grocery wagon
at Davidson avenue and Market
street Saturday afternoon, Francis
Callow, the nine year old son OF
Thomas CalIow, of $50 Goodwin
street, died about midnight last
night. He sustained internal
injuries and scalp wound causing
concussion of the brain.
! After being hurled from the driv-
er's seat of the vehicle the lad fell
between the horse and the wagon.
It is believed he was kicked by one
of the horses rear feet and then run
over by both wheels on one side of
the wagon. DR.. ID. A. Hults, the at
tending physician, stated today that
death resulted from the internal in
turies the little victim sustained
about the abdomen.
Took Rig On STREET.
The boy was In grocery wagon
belonging to Greenspan Bros, gro
GERS, of 2e5 Smith street. According
to the story learned by owners OF the
rig. following an investigation, their
driver. George Weinstein, of South
Amboy, had left the rig standing on
Market street while delivering goods
near Market street and Bertrand
avenue. The Callow boy then hap
pened along and being acquainted
with Weinstsin he climbed into the
grocery wagon to take charge" un-
til the latter returned.
1t Is declared he started the horse
eastward on Market street and could
not stop 1t. The more he tried to
stop the fleeing animal the faster 1t
seemed to go and in turning into
Davidson avenue the wagon sweryed
and young Callow was hurled out.
Picked Up Unconscious.
He was picked up in an uncon-
scious state and taken to his home
where he received medical attend
ance. The horse was stopped a
short distance beyond the corner
where the lad sustained injuries that
became fatal.
A member of the Greenspan firm
stated today the horse In question
is not vicious and requires no watch
ing when standing unmolested. He
deemed 1t sad ending to the prank
OF the boy.
The funeral will be held from the
residence of his parents Wednesday
afternoon with interment In St,
Mary's cemetery,
