Daddy Bedtime
o. Why the Pigs Had
.OtOIV- A Strawberry
Shortcake

%AHE strawberries In the garden were very nice Jack and Evelyn were
very much interested In them and watched to see that the birds and
bugs did not get more than their share.
"Ponys mother had o nice strawberry patch" said daddy.
ut seemed to the little girl those berries never would npen, for Pny's
mamma had promised her that al soon as the berries were ripe enough she
would make her a nice strawberry shortcake
Mother, may go out to pick the strawberries for the cakeY Polly asked
when at last some Of the berries were ripe enough to use
Eyes, dear, u you VIII promise to put more berries into thepan than into
your mouth. There viii likely be just enough fol- q small cake
"PoHy trotted out into the garden Ny, how nice the fruit lookedt Poys
mouth watered so that she reached out picked the biggest berry and popped
It into her mouth The next one went into the pan 1t wasn't avery big berry
anyway
"By and by there were no more berries to pick Polly had got every one
OF them Hr face was red, her hands were red, and her little apron was red,
too, with berry juice
"After looking at her apron Polly picked up the pan. II wasn't full; it
wasn't half fun; it wasn't even a quarter full
"PonyS face fell. Gould mother make a cake with so few bernes7 Then
she picked some more, berries that were half ripe and some that were only
turning color. she dropped them right into the pan with the red berries, and
still the pan looked rather empty.
"Here they are, mother she said as she handed her the pan
"Why, Polly these berries are not rpei Why didn't you pick ripe onesT
was mothers question.
"T-LI did, answered Polly, All that there were
There were quart OF ripe berries on the vines this morning said Pcnys
mother.
They won't indeedF replied PoHys mother. Since you've had so many
berries already i think you've had quite enough for the present / won't need
to make a strawberry Hhorcake today. There probably won't be enough ripe
berries n the vines now for a week!
And Polly hung her head . she went of to throw the unripe berries to
the pigs They made a good enough strawberry shortcake for them when
Polly tossed them into the trough with a lot Of stale bread from the pantry"

Croeus News.

Crocus, N. D., June 1910 The
Forum: A large force Of men were
busy repairing the streets Of Crocus,
which had become very poor this
spring on account of the rains for the
past few days.
Practically every voter in Crocus
town ship attended the primaries at
the public school here last Wednes-
day.
The extremely hot weather of the
last few days has caused extraor-
binary rapid evaporation OF moisture,
The crops are not feeling any dam
age yet but rain is again badly
needed.
A large number of Crocus people
attended the big circus Of the Coll
mar Bros. Co., at Cando, last Sat-
urday.
John Weiss, formerly Of Crocus but
who moved to Canada several years
ago, died recently at Humboldt, Sas-
katchewan, at the age of so. He
leaves a widow and three children.

Prisoners put on their honor will more
readily regain their manhood at the
expiration Of their terms-are more
likely to md honest employment-and
abandon the old criminal Life.
Some states are planning TO put the
prisoners in the penitentiaries on a
wage scale and the money earned by
the men--if they are married-will go
to the support of their wives and
children. In the ease Of single men
without relatives. the money is to be
kept In a fund and given the prisoner
as a nest egg on his release.
The plan to make 1t possible for
married convicts to support their fam
lilies is one that will generally be en-
dorsed. Many unfortunate and
children are left in destitute circum-
stances when the breadwinner COM
mits a crime. If methods are adopt
ed by which the convict can partially
support his family the children can be
kept together and a home maintained
for the convict on his release.
North Dakota might try this plan.
The men engaged In Irvine making are
capable Of earning something for
themselves, as well as the state.

WYoMINe's WOMAN MAYOR.

Dayton, Wyo, elected a woman
mayor. Two men were lighting for the
place and Mrs. Susie Wissler became
IN independent candidate. She won.
When the men found they were to
have a petticoat government some Of
them were in fear of the consequences.
They have been treasured.
Mrs. Mayor Wissler magnaminously
informed them that the women
wouldn't u the men out-that they
could live in Dayton-as long as they
behaved themselves. She incidentally
stated that Dayton was to be made a
clean town, morally, physically and
every other way.
She says she intends to enforce all
the Dayton ordinances. Many of them
were enacted for bluff purposes, but
she insists she will call the bluffs-and
the men who passed the ordinances
must now observe them.
Dayton may be improved-greatly
improved-by having a woman rather
than a man mayor. There are other
cities in which a woman mayor would
not be a. calamity. Just as soon as
the dear women in North Dakota Sc
cure a general-instead of a special
franchise they will be holding other
than school Offices.

y BLOW TO THIRD r

THE success Of W. j. Bryan in the
democratic convention at Baltimore
will be a big blow to the third party
movement. Had Bryan been defeated
at Baltimore it was generally supposed
that he and Roosevelt would have
united on some plan to start a third
party. with the Nebraskan happy
over the democratic results he will
leave the rough rider to fight his own
battles.
Roosevelt has been doing a stand
pat act pending the democratic re-
suits. Wisdom and deItberation
would probably make him abandon
the plan to organize a new party. But
the colonel was never very deliberate.
His political activity will probably be
the mex matter of national interest
and the public will wait with consid-
cradle interest for his new declara-
tons.
Any considerable detection from the
republican party-through Roosevelt
would certainly give the democrats
quite an advantage in states that are
regarded as battle grounds. The dem
ocrats-not Roosevelt-would prosper
by his efforts to revenge himself on

E M NJ WILSON.

After a great deal of balloting and
wire pulling the democrats finally
named Thomas woodrow Wilson as
their candidate for the presidency. 1t
required forty-six ballots to complete
the job.
The nomination was not brought
about without considerable bitterness.
The disappointed friends of the nu-
merous defeated candidates-especial-
Iy Clark-are not, particularly enthusi-
astic over the selection.
The methods adopted by Bryan
while he was successful in naming
Wihson-were not the kind to promote
harmony. The rumpus in the demo-
cratic ranks-while less pronounced
than the republican break-is very
noticeable.
The democratic nominee IL a bril-
liant man-but regarded as imprac-
teal ana usually classified as a high
brow" Speaking and writing on many
subjects Wilson has expressed many
views, some Of which are not entirely
pleasing to his friends. At that Will
son is undoubtedly as strong a man as
the democrats could have named-un-
less Bryan had been the choice. He
may not make as good a president as
some Of the other democratic contest
ants for the nomination but he will
be a better vote getter than any Of
the men, except possibly Bryan.
The democrats are optimistic over
his nomination and express great con-
hdence in their ability to elect him
now-in view Of the republican dis
sension.
Wilson is a Virginian by birth. He
was a graduate of Davidson college, a
Presbyterian institution in North Car
olina- Afterwards he took a post grad
uate course at Princeton and later be-
came its president, a position he re-
signed to run for governor Of New
Jersey. ia. ~ a.
