7 Asst Christmas family in little New
- York town had an old-fashioned Christ
mas dinner, with much turkey and many
home folk to help eat it. Dorothy, the little
daughter of the house, had consumed full
share of the bird, then handed up her plate.
Il want some more turkey, Mama" said
she.
why, Dorothy, after all you've had!
think you have had really too much already"
said Dorothy's mother.
but l want more" and she began to
pOut.
But you can't have any more just now
However, here is wishbone which you and
Mama can pull. That will be fun. You pull
one side and will pull the other and who
ever gets the longer end can have her wish
come true"
Each pulled until the bone snapped.
well, Baby, you've got the longest end.
Now what did you wish for, Dorothy"
why, | wished for more turkey, Mama. y
And she got it.

UTAH'S BIG CRYSTALS

IN moundlike elevation formed by the
washing and wearing away of the clay
and sand surrounding it, deposits of seleni-
um have been found in Utah, near Fremont
River, that present some decidedly curious
features Had the men who hit upon these
deposits CHANGED upon diamond of the di-
mansions of a football, their discovery could
hardly have proved more unexpected. The
find, however, pertained to kind of crystal
far less precious than diamonds.
Selenide crystals are formed from the rare
element selenium, which is related to sui
phur, and was discovered in 1918 in the
refuse of su1phuric acid factory, by the
celebrated chemist Berzelius
In its vitreous form selenium is some
times employed for optical purposes. Many
years ago little medallion portraits of Ber-
zelius were occasionally to be seen cast in
this substance that he had discovered
Selenium had been found in small guam
titles at Culebra, Mexico; but, until the
Utah discovery, the selenide crystals OBJ
tainable were small, being measured by
inches and weighed by ounces. In Utah,
however, crystals have been taken out that
are actually four feet in length, with faces
six inches broad; and one immense speci-
men showed nineteen small ones projecting
from it. So far as is known, the Utah de-
post has no rival.

you could have made the whole of five dollars
Yourself, which would have added materially
to your savings Uncle John paused a mo-
ment and then continued.
Besides, there is this matter of popular
ity. l suppose the boys would feel little
bit funny about you if they knew you we're
trying to get rich out of their work. How
ever, perhaps you don't mind things like
that. But the most important thing that
you have forgotten in making this deal is Our
contract. Now, when l do business with
people as smart as you, do it on strict bust
ness principles. l bargained to pay you a
dime hundred for the dandelions you cut,
not for those you jollied other people into
cutting. You see, the real capitalist de-
serves more pay than you do, because he
really does some work in managing large at
fairs, and he actually risks his capital
sometimes,-but as you didn't cut any
II cut a few before the other fellows came"
did you count them''

Dear me! Then shall have to pay you
according to your own time rate. How long
do you think you worked?"
about half an hour
Uncle John put his hand into his pocket
and took out nickel. Here's your share,
Bub," he said "And now let us 60 and pay
the other fellows. Five dollars divided by
three makes about dollar and sixty-seven
cents apiece, doesn't it"
The other fellows never understood why
Bulbs uncle paid them so we'll; but in their
delight they promptly promised Bub free
ticket to the circus.
WHEN Uncle John returned to Aunt
w Mary and the quietude of his living
room, she said gently:
"John dear, are you quite, quite sure that
you are doing the lad justice?"
Him. When l was boy" Uncle John
answered reminiscently. " a decent fellow
wouldn't have used his friends that way. l
may be right and may be wrong; but any
how have given him few things to think
about"
Bub the capitalist, none too well satisfied
with his experiment in the exploitation of
labor, retired to his favorite tree to ponder
long and solemnly on one of the greatest
problems of our time.

BRITISH PRESS
ASSA|LS TAF 7.
London Mail Finds Him FIabby,
But Speaks Of Wilson as
Real Leader of Men.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-The London
Daily Mail prints the following by
anglo American on its editorial
page, under the head, The Failure Of
Taft"
Taft we know pretty well by now to
be a rather dull, unimpressive presi-
dent, singularly maladtoit in his po-
litical tactics, well meaning and not
without some stock of executive efii-
cheney, but fiabby in his convictions
indecisive in his actions, with no in
stInct for leadership or for gauging
public opinion or for comprehending
the unrest which is agitating the socic-
ty of which he is the chief magistrate.
1T is a pitiable ending of what four
years ago had every promise of being
a fruitful presidency. He mas proved
an unexampled failure and America
will never again commit its fortunes to
his keeping"
Concerning Wilson, Anglo Ameri-
can" says:
He is sort of ChamberlainiZed Bal
four whose convictions are founded on
reflections, are stubbornly held and
translated into acts with the directness
of a real leader of men. He is the
strongest candidate now making an APP
peal for the sunrages of the American
people"

FLAT FREIGHT
RATE IS URGED
Macon Chamber of Commerce
Asks Railroad Commission
to Revise Methods.

The Macon Chamber of Commerce
has petitioned the state railroad com
mission to revise its present methods
of prescribing freight rates in Georgia.
and to substitute instead a plan pre-
scribing an arbitrary fiat rate, and to
require all roads to adopt that rate and
no othes
Roads in Georgia are now classified
in four divisions A. e. G and d. The
first class is permitted to charge a
standard tariff only, without additionss
The others are permitted to add a fixed
percentage above the tariff, according
to their earnings.
The Macon Chamber Of Commerce
wishes the existing right Of adding to
freight charges according to the earn
ngs of roads abolished and petitions
that all roads, regardless of all things,
be required to charge the same rate for
freight
The commission has not considered
the Macon petition and will not do 50
Immediately. 1t involves radical and
revolutionary changes in the present
methods and is sure TO be opposed both
by shippers and the railroads in many
instances. although it will find support
in other quarters.
