NO FLYING FOXES
FOR UNCLE SAM

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March a
Uncle Sam is hot on the trail Of
the mongoose and the flying fox,
or fox bat. He has discovered one
mongoose or mungoos and two
flying foxes in this city, believed
to be the only samples in the
United States. The men who own
ed the flying foxes and mongoose
ewere arrested and the objection
able animals killed.
What is flying fox?
1t inhabits Africa, India, China,
Japan, and the Malay archipelago,
where 1T spends the time stealing
and eating fruit. There are 70
species. The one which infests
Java spreads its wings five feet
and is eaten by the natives. 1t is
large, tailless, and resembles THE
fox in size, color and physiognomy.
1t does great damage to cocoanut
and mango plantations. 1t is fond
of drinking palm toddy. In Egypt
the flying foxes flock into the
chambers of the pyramids and
other tombs.
The mungoos is a native of
India, where it is kept in the
house to kill lizards, mice, rats
and snakes. The bite of the cobra
does not feaze it.

PARABLE OF 1911
Once on a time the people
thought things were not going as
they ought; that officials in big
power and place were grating at
rapid pace. So they asked the
man, who long had ruled and all
the common people fooled, to see
that things went on the square.
He handed them some heated air,
and when they asked about the
graft he looked at them and SIM
ply laughed. But it still remain
ed in public sight, the gang was
looting left and right, while JUS
tice far behind did lag, and the
bunch grew fat on graft and swag.
Once more the public loudly cried
against the crooks on every side,
but the wise punch just kept on
the same with their little golden
grating game. shut up" the
party leader said. There is no
graft; it's long since dead. You
hurt the party and, beside, your
talk of graft assails our pride. "
Moral: There isn't any. It's
understood. Graft comes ahead
of public good.

TODAY IN HISTORY

March 2, 1864, the United
States had no military officer high
9r in rank than major general
and quite a few of these major
generals seemed to have some
doubt as to which of them was the
greatest. That day, however, con-
gress passed a bill creating the
rank of lieutenant general, for
merly only held by Washington
and Scott, and to the new place
the secretary of war promoted
General U. S. Grant. 1t Is now
generally conceded that this was
the right selection, although at
the time some of the other major
generals thought a mistake had
been made.

1t is tough to be near-sighted,
even if you are only a rooster.
This rooster had a record for
finding good things to eat. He
used to sense them rather than
see them, but he found them all
the same.
On this day someone had tossed
rubber band into the poultry
yard. The rooster observed it
and went to it. He thought it
was nice fat worm. To keep it
from escaping he carefully placed
one foot on it and tugged at it
with his beak. And as he tugged
it stretched, and as it stretched
his foot slipped.

the teachings of the Christ relative
to the poor, we can only say that
they have been largely set aside and
ignored. How often have we seen
the bitter humiliation and tears of
those who were scorned, How often
the poor mother who cannot affect
the gaity of the rich feels that she
and her children must remain away
from the house of God. 1t would be
useless for me to describe the cold
ness and cruelty of the church toward
the poor. Thousands gather at our
churches for religious services, some

many years a conductor on the
