 After the official election returns are all in the story always appears showing how few votes would have been necessary to give the election to the losing side This year. in spite of the great land slide. it is calculated that the republicans would have controlled the next House If they had received about 1S,500 more votes distributed as they desired. To show the "astonishingly small' majority received by the democrats, it is added that change Of less than 10000 votes would give the House to the republicans. An analysis of the vote of 1896 and 1900 shows that even less figures would have elected democratic Presidents.

That no who has real money to report to the assessor--and

That no farmer. and not more than one hcme-owner in five. will pay

That n o railroad II other large corporation will pay as large a sum
total for taxes as heretofore, except where the taxable property has in

That O n OF these facts, if any IT all of them be proven to be
facts, is a direct or indirect argument against "fulcash-value' assess

Why He Did II.

There was once a man VINO owned
a large building, and he had a clock
set in the wall at each end of it. So
large was the building that it required
five minutes to walk from n end to
the other.
One time the clocks got out of or.
der, so the man employed an inteli-
gent person to repair them. When
the job was done and the clocks were
running again the man inspected
them.
He went to the person who had
repaired them, and said:
Look here. the clock at n end
of the. building is five minutes slow.

THAT is proper" answered the per-

Certainly. You said the clocks
must agree as to time. Now, when
you are looking at this one you know
that if you took time to walk around
and see the other it would agree per-
fectly with the time you see here!"

The angels that hear the children pray
o. many indeed there are!-
They wait in the world at the end OF day.
Past sunset and evening star;
They wait till the dusk brings the hour OF
sleep,
The prayers that come from the lips that
The faith that our hearts hold dear.
And some Of the angels are bent and old
Though royal in their attire,
With halos and crowns of the richest gold
And wings that are clear as fire
But bent do they grow; and wrinkles. too.
Come back to each gentle face.
For they are grandparents who one day
knew
The children who lisp their grace.
And some of the angels are strong and
young.
Yet softly they bend and wait
Till prayers the children are giving tongue
Are waited unto them straight,
l think they are souls that were sum-
moned soon.
And so they are given this:
To hear the wee prayers must be a boon
That adds TO all heavens bliss.
The angels that hear the children pray
Are gentle and fair and sweet;
They smile when they hear at the end OF
day
The patter or little feet
And some Of them gaze through tho
depths afar
From where they all walt above:
They search through the worlds till they
find the star
Where they felt their motherlove.
And some of the angels who listen there
Are spirits that never had
The joy and the sorrow. the peace and
care
OF children to make them glad
And they are the ones that are patient

For they take the dimmes word
And echo 1t back to the children, blest.

THE AGADIR CONFUSION.

The situation at Agadir is more dif
lcult the longer the German occupa.
tion is continued It was rash, reck.
less step to undertake that occupation
under the circumstances, an occupa-
tion directly contrary TO the stipula,
tions Of the treaty of Algeciras, and
step which, in diplomacy and in
right, gives Germany no ground what
ever to claim compensation. 1t was,
in itself, an irritating step, and if it
has any effect at all, it will be likely
to close the doors to any concessions
at all TO Germany in the matter Of
Morocco.
Evidently, as now stated in the dis
patches, it would have been we'll if
France and Great Britain, joined with
Spain, had sent equal naval armaments
to Agadir with those of Germany, and
under the samo pretense of keeping
the peace. That would have rendered
the German occupancy innocuous 1t
is not too late, to be sure, to yet push
that Joint occupancy, but it is awk-
warder to do it now than it would
have been at first.
But the main question is, how Ger.
many can be let down without loss of
self-respect, and without humiliation.
1t is not easy to figure this out, but
some way must, and doubtless will,
eventually be found 1t is likely that
Germany would fight before she would
suffer such gross humiliation as to
quietly withdraw from Agadir at the
demand Of France and Great Britain
But, however the German recklessness
may be looked at, there would appear
10 be a certain fitness in enforcing
'ome sort of penalty upon the Kaiser
or his imprudent meddling in Morocco;
