How Sea Birds Drink,

Under the headline, Where Do They
Get Water? a writer in the Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: when
| was a cabin boy | often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands Of
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty.
One day a squall answered that ques-
tion for me. 1t was a hot and glitter
ing day in the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead a black rain cloud APP
peared all OF a sudden. Then out OF
empty space over a hundred sea birds
came darting from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands Of miles away
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out g.
storm a long way off; they travel a
hundred miles maybe to get under It,
and they swallow enough raindrops to,
keep them going. New York Trib-

PRESIDENT TAFT
MAKES DENIAL
Stamps as Untrue Report of
Secret Treaty.
BURTON OF OHIO SPOKESMAN
Senators Speak For President-Sena
tor Bacon Declares Mobilization
Wholly Due to Fear of Anar-
chy in Mexico.

Washington, d. C.-Prompt and au-
thoritative denial has been given to
the latest form of the Japanese plot
in-MeXico explanation OF the sudden
mobilization of Gen. Carter's man
oeuvre division" of troops in Texas.
Word has come directly from the
President that there is no truth in
the tale, and several senators and
representatives, members of the two
foreign committees, TO whom the en-
tire correspondence dealing with the
situation has been submitted, pub
licly declares that the name of Japan
does not occur once in it. Senator
Bacon of Georgia, in voicing his de-
nial, goes further and declares the
mobilization is wholly due to the fear
of anarchy in Mexico.
The story which evoked all this at.
tention was printed in "a New York
newspaper and it's Washington con-
nections. 1t was ostensibly telegraph
ed from the City Of Mexico. It was to
the eeffct that United States Am
oasador Wilson, at Mexico City, had
received from a friendly member OF
President Diaz's cabinet a copy of a
recent secret treaty between Mexico
and Japan providing for a Japanese
coaling station and manoeuvre priv.
ileges in Magdalena bay, on the west
coast Of Mexico. The story asserted
that Mr.. Wilson had photographed
this treaty and then had hurried 20
Washington where he found the cab
met in session, on the Monday after
the adjournment of Congress. He de-
livered the startling information at
once, and the President summoned
Gen. Wood, chief of staff, hastily from
his luncheon, and within an hour the
general staff was preparing the order
for the army mobilization on the Mex.
lean border. The whole movement
was thus ascribed to the purpose on
the part of the President to check Jap
ans effort to secure a coaling station
on our side Of the Pacific.
The main statement that Japan's ef-
fort to secure q coaling station was
the direct cause OF the mobilization
had already been denied categorically
on all sides. That story has been
started a good many times since the
mobilization was ordered. It has
been described as false by President
Taft and the Emperor of Japan in a
formal exchange of kilograms and by
officials of the Diaz government, both
here and in Mexico.
Senator Burton Of Ohio said: The
President authorized me to deny in
most emphatic terms the story from
Mexico City about a secret treaty be-
tween Mexico and Japan. There is
not one word of truth in it,"

CONGRESS OPENS;
CLARK SPEAKER
Democrats Rule House for First Time
In Sixteen Years-Reciprocity
Measure is In.

Washington.-The first sessic1 of
the Sixty-second Congress, called by
president Taft to act upon the Cana
dlan reciprocity agreement, got under
way amid scenes Of great rejoicing
on the part OF the Democrats.
IL was the first time the Demo-
Gratis had come into control of the
House in sixteen years and they
celebrated tho event with a demon
stratlon which for noise and enthusi-
asm has had few equals in the Capt.
tol.
In introducing Champ Clark TO the
House, Representative Mann. who
escorted the new speaker TO the ros-
trum, made a speech of unusual brew
lty, but he made it with tremendous
feeling.
1T is a great Office" said Mr..
Mann, and it is filed by a great
man. / present to you your speaker,
Champ Clark, of Missouri"
When the voting for Speaker be-
gan, Victor Berger, Of Milwaukee, the
hrst Socialist to win seat in the
House of Representatives, announced
that no would not vote for any candi-
date.
Mr.. Clark was sworn in by Repre-
ascended the Speakers rostrum amid
hearty applause.
Champ Clark, as he accepted the
sccptre which Uncle Joe Cannon has
held for years, delivered a speech
outlining the duties and pledges
which confront the present Demo
cratic House. He failed to mention
Canadian reciprocity.
Here are the twelve new Demo-
cratic Senators who were sworn in
Nathaniel L. Bryan of Florida, who
succeeds Senator Taliaferro w. T..
Chiffon OF West Virginia, who takes
Senator Scott's place; Gilbert Hitch.
cock of Nebraska, who succeeds Sen
ator Burkett; John w. Kern Of In.
diana, who will occupy Beveridge's
seat; Charles +. Johnson of Maine.

Hale; Luke Lea of Tennessee, who
takes Senator Frazier's place; James
II. MARITIME Of New Jersey, who cap.
tured Senator Kean's toga; Henry l..

New York, who takes Senator De.
pew's place; Atlee Pomerene of Ohio,
who has replaced Senator Dick;
James a. Reed of Missouri, succeed
ing Senator Warner and John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, in place OF
Senator Money.
Following the swearing in OF the
Senators there was the usual roll call
and the presentation of the formal
opening resolutions.
With the Republicans having only
a majority of eight, the insurgents in
the Senate WELD tne balance of pow.

practically to dictate the policy Of the
Republican organization.

"SLUSH" FUND TO
ELECT SENATOR L0RIMER
Evidence That 100000 Was Used at
sprlngfield-Senate May Take
Up the Case.

Springfield, Ill.-Clarence S. Funk
general manager Of the international
Harvester Company, before the State
Senate Bribery Investigating Com
mittee testified that Edward Hines, a
millionaire lumber dealer of Chicago,
had asked him as manager OF the
Harvester Company to contribute
$4,000 to reimburse certain men who
had put up a 100000 "slush" fund to
elect William Lorimer to the United
States Senate.
Funk testified that Hines named
Edward Tilden, wealthy Chicago
packer, as the collector Of this fund
10 reimburse the men who, as Mr.
Hines was quoted as having said, had
"underwritten" the election of Lori
mer.
The witness said he had given II
II. Kohlsaat, publisher Of the Chicago
Record-Herald, information in conf
dence on which the Chicago publisher
had based an editorial. The publica-
ton in February last Of this editorial.
which charged the use of q 100000
fund to elect Lorimer, resulted in the
calling OF Mr.. Kohlsaat as a witness
before the committee.
Edward Tilden, whom Mr.. Funk
named as the treasurer of the $780,
600 fund, is accredited with repre-.
senting the meat packers.

REASONED IT OUT
And Found a Change in Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort Of careful attention to
himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for II. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years had been bother
ed a great deal after meals. My food
seemed TO lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less UNFIT
for business, and | made up my mind
that something would have to be done
Reflection led me to- the conclusion
that over-eating, filling the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many Of the ills that human flesh
endures. and that was Furnishing
myself in that way-that was what
was making me so dull. heavy and un-
comfortable, and unfit for business
after meals. l concluded to try Grape
Nuts food to see what 1t could do for
me.
"I have been using It for some
months now, and am glad to say that
do not suffer any longer after meals;
my food seems to assimilate easily
and perfectly, and to do the work for
which Il was intended.
Il have regained my normal weight,
and find that business is a pleasure

FARM OR WORkHoUSE.

Kansas City has had one year Of
experience with a farm which was
established to take the place Of the
municipal workhouse. The results Of
her first years trial have been more
satisfactory than the most sanguine
advocates of the plan had dared
hope, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The report shows that while the
workhouse cost the city 1920 a year
per prisoner, the farm has earned
800 a year profit for each prisoner.
In other words the actual loss OF go
cents a day per prisoner has been
turned into profit of 80 cents day.
The financial gain, however, is the
smallest part OF the advantage. The
board of public welfare reports that
the prisoners have taken the keenest
interest In their work, have shown
no desire to escape, and that many
of them have hurried to the farms
as soon as their sentences have been
served The men who, through dis
sipstion or the commission of minor
offenses, have been sentenced to
work on the farm have found the
pleasure and health that comes from
employment in the open. Men en-
ployed on the Kansas City farm have
completed their sentences with coats
of tan. instead OF the pallor that
usually marks the discharged prison
er. Their systems have been toned
up until they are capable of doing an
honest days work and also have the
desire to do it, They have learned
that there is a moral. as well as
physical, curative in outdoor work.

There is one convincing reason,
even If there were no others, why a
growing city should, as early as pos.
sible, extend its boundary lines In
every direction so as to include ter
,ritory that will not be solldly built
for fifty or even n hundred years.
The streetways OF city ought to be
planned not merely with regard to
the city that is, but with regard to
the greater city that is to be. And
as the greater city that is to be will

CRUEL NEGLECT OF WOUNDED.

El Paso, TeXas.-Pitiful reports OF

between insurrectos and Federals for
three days Carriages sent out from
Hermosillo with ammunition for the
Federals have returned there bear

seven have been placed in the hos
pital.
Many of them are suffering from
blood poisoning from inattention on
the field and the drivers and soldiers
report that many others died on the
battlefield from loss of blood and as
result OF intense suffering in the
hot sun. Not a doctor is with any of
the troops operating in Sonora; it is
declared, and n hospital corps has

AS a French contemporary points
out, one generally associates the cap
ital of a country with the largest
town, but in the United States this is
not so, although the accepted idea
prevails in regard to European coun-
tries or to most of them, says the
London Globe. An exception, how
ever, must be made In regard 10
Berne, the capital of the Swiss Con
federation, the city Of picturesque
gates, bears, old churches, watch
making, the seat Of the federal gov
ernment, and the home Of the Postal
Union, where is to be found n collec-
tion OF the stamps of the world whits
may be said to be unique. Berne is
only a city of fourth-rate importance
as regards population, with some
100 inhabitants, the principal
towns OF Switzerland being Zurich,
with 1S8,930 souls; Bale, with 1885,
100, and Geneva, with 1876 $50. The
Scottish capital, 1t may be observed,
is only the second city in regard to
population.
