Happy Jack. SO angry that every time
he spoke he jerked his tail. And all the
time he was chasing round and round the
trunk of the tree, trying to prevent Chat

Now, Happy Jack is ever SO much
bigger than his cousin Chatterer, but
he isn't SO spry, and, in spite of him.
Chatterer got past and, like little red
flash was up in the top of the tree where
the big fat nuts were. But he didn't
have time to pick even one, for after
him came Happy Jack, so angry that
Chatterer knew that he would fare badly
if Happy Jack once caught him. Round
and round, over and across, this way
and that way, in the top Of the tall hickory
tree, raced Chatterer the Red Squirrel
with his cousin, Happy Jack the Gray
Squirrel, right at his heels and calling
him everything bad to be thought OF;

PARIS. November 23.-It reads like
Balzac-like the tenderer Balzac OIL
Eugene Grandet." Sixty-five years ago.
Mile. Fanny Desprez. daughter of
notary in a sleepy little town Of France.
fell in love with handsome cavalry
officer. Mile. Desprez was then in her
teens. The toast of the countryside. all
the eligible young men of the town were
at her little feet 1t was not alone to

officer was dashing. as a cavalry officer
ought to be. He wore his uniform with
an air. and his sword and his spurs
clanked bravely Alas! They were all
that he had to clank, and M. Desprez,
grasping and ambitious, had ears open
for another kind of music.
Not a Desirable Son-in-Law.
In brief, the young officer had not a
penny beyond his pay, and the notary
would have none of him for son-in-law.
No more than Eugene Grandet did Mile
Fanny think of denying her fathers au-
thority. These were not the days OF fair
ladies in revolt Months and years
passed. and left NJ. Desprez adamant
The dashing young officer changed his
garrison and forgot, perhaps But he
was not forgotten. On summer nights
Mile. Desprez would wander under the
stars in the garden SO that the neighbors
called her, half in jest and half in pity,
La Belle Etoile." 4 year ago she died,
at the age of eighty-five, having never
left the little town in which she had
loved and lost and been faithful.
Memorial to Her Sweetheart.
When her will was read it was found
that she had left the whole of her con-
siderable fortune-almost OO0-to the
friendly association Of ex-p",ils OF the
school of the Legion of Honor. on coH-
dition that it should offer as often as pos
sible a dowry of $4,000 to a former
scholar chosen by the governing BODY.
But the favored girl must. within three
years of being thus lowered. marry
cavalry officer without fortune and a
Catholic.
Alas! for the pestilent human nature of
expectant heirs! The surviving relatives
of Mile. Desprez, distant cousins. nave
announced their intentions of disputing
the will. But, romantic as she was,
Mile. Desprez was not for nothing the
daughter of notary. IT is probable that
the courts will uphold the provisions OF
the will. and 90 the wealth which could
not give it's owner happiness may bring
to others their hearts desire.

Applies to Administration.

What is true about Irish legislation,
continued the solicitor general, is still
more true about Irish administration. No
enthusiasm for the act of union can OBJ
scure the fact that Ireland is, both for
legislation and administration, a separate
entity from England home rule; does not
mean that in legislation and admins
tration Ireland will begin to be treated as
separate from England. for that happens
already. Home rule means that Ireland
will be given in fact a control over Its
own local affairs. which the past practice
of the imperial parliament, whatever
government may happen to be In power:
recognizes to be a separate subject OF
administration.
The same law that applies to the rest
of Ireland applies to Ulster. The same
Irish departments which deal with the
rest of Ireland deal with Belfast. You do
not prove that Ireland consists of two
nations, as Mr.. Balfour argues. by point
ing to the unhappy fact that Protestants
in Belfast sometimes do not see eye to

HOME RULE PROBLEMS
BEFORE IRISH PEOPLE
Distinctions in Form of Gov

Sir John Simon.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, November 23.-Those who
contend that Ireland should be treated as
part of the United Kingdom in legisla-
ton and administration. said Sir John
Simon, in addressing a liberal demonstra-
ton at Bedford. do not seem to realize
that English law is not the same as Irish
law, and that parliament constantly leg
islates separately for each.
A great part of the public statutes of
the realm. dealing with the most i'm
portant subject-land, education and poor
laws-are quite different in the two coun-
tries. Why, then, should Englishmen,
Scotchmen and Welshmen (who have
their own affairs to look after. have the
controlling voice in deciding these Irish
matters with which they are unfamiliar,
but which touch SO closely the daily
lives of the Irish people?

To Promote Higher Education.

An organization of all shades of po-
litical opinion has been formed in Scot
land for the promotion of higher educa-
ton in the rural districts. In building
up technical schools and universities in
the towns and cities there has been a
tendency to neglect higher education in
the sparsely settled rural districts, with
the result that many capable students
have no opportunity of completing their
studies. The new organization is gather
ing evidence of this condition which will

the insanity supposed to result from

been told that pellagra produced in
