His Pet, Even If II Was Great
Nuisance.

want to give you a story (true)
about a youngster in my neighbor-
hood, which ! consider good. 1t is
as follows: Out of a brood of chick
ems was one poor little thing, with
but a few pin feathers. The six
year-old boy of the family made a
pet of it. 1t would follow him all
over the house, and all the sound
that ever came from it was "Peep,
peep" 1t incidentally got into
everyone's way, the members of the
family falling and stumbling over it,
and many stifled oath was uttered
by them. On this particular day the
mother of the family fell over the
chicken, and made the remark:
swish some one would do something
to that chicken" The cook, who was
standing near with butcher knife in
hand, said: CPL fix that chicken,
mump' picked it up by the neck and
started for the kitchen door. The
small boy appeared upon the scene
at this time and overheard the re-
mark, and this was his reply: "Well,
| guess notl Guess I've got some
thing to say about that chicken /
want you to understand Pm the fa-
ther of that chicken"

lie said there would be no violation
OF the United States both legal and
moral to subsidize it's shipping pass
ing through the canal. Under the
treaty with Great Britain the rules
of the Suez Canal were to govern
and in that case it had never been
considered a violation OF the rule Of
naturalization for a nation to pay
the tolls upon the vessels flying its
flag. Substantially every European
government using the Suez Canal
pays such subsidies, fully or partial
ly equivalent to the full tolls. When
the Panama Canal is opened the
vessels of all OF our marine competi-
tors who use it will be in receipt
from their governments Of sums of
money either given them directly to
pay their tolls, or applicable in their
discretion to such use. Therefore,
said the Secretary. it was perfectly
clear that the United States had the
right to appropriate to the vessels
paying the same, the sum paid into
its Treasury by those vessels in the
form OF Canal tolls.
Secretary Stims0n expected great
benefit to the country from the canal

SISTER ESTHER CARLOTTA
AT THE CONVENTION

Sister Esther Charlotte OF st.
Augustine, president OF the Florida
Division OF the United Daughters OF
the Confederacy. became very prom
inent in the convention of the
daughters held in Richmond, Va.
last week. The Richmond Virginian
of Saturday, in noticing her as del
egate, said:
in reading the minutes several
matters evoked lengthy discussions,
and the convention grew SO noisy
at times that business was suspend
ed until quiet was restored. Finally
Sister Esther Carl0tta. Of st. Angus
tine, Fla, rising to a matter OF per-
sonal privilege. reminded the dele
gates that they had elected their
president general at the last conven-
ton, and that it was their bounden
duty and only common civility that
they maintain her rulings and re-
quests. Beseeching them that. as la
dies, they would be quiet and orderly.
Sister Carlotta returned to her seat
amid profound silence.
by an overwhelming vote, WASH
ington, ID. C., was selected as the
meeting place Of their annual con-
vention next year. The capital city
of the nation received a little more
than 1900 votes, as against 266
cast for it's only competitor, st. Au-
gustine, Fla.
"The claims Of Washington were
presented by Mrs. c. ID. Merwin. while
Sister Esther Carlotta presented the
invitation from her home city.
"Although Sister Carlottas ad-
dress was declared to be the most ell
oquent and impressive ever heard on
the floor of a y. ID. {. convention,
the issue was never In doubt from
the start, the sentiment among the
delegates being that Washington
would be a more suitable place than
the Florida city next year In view OF
the fact that several important
movements now on foot need the i'm
petus of congressional backing and
support"

they might be. Some people think
that because they do not lie, steal,

its sympathy with what is right and
