In the Dog business

Willie had a yellow dog that WAS a
perfect nuisance. but so devoted was the
boy to him that he could not be per-
suaded to have him killed. One day
when his father had been unusually
annoyed by the antics of the dog he
called Willie in from play and said:
MY boy, I'll give you dollar If you
get rid of that dog"
Wilie's face expressed great amaze
ment at the thought of so much money
belonging to him. He looked at the dog,
and finally told his father he would give
him his decision the next day.
The following day Willie sought his
father and said:
I've got rid of Max, father"
I'm more than glad, Willie" said the
father Here's your money; you've
earned 1t. How did you get rid of him ?"
Why" answered Willie, as he put
the money in his pocket, ~ snapped
him to Bill Morgan for two yellow
pups"

WAR CLOUDS LOOM
DARK IN GERMANY
BY MALCOLM CLARKE

Berlin, January 25.-(Special.)-A feel
mg of impending calamity seems to per-
wade the German Fatherland. Again the
war clouds loom dark and food prices
are soaring higher and higher.
Especially among the classes from
which officers of the two services ami
superior civil officers are drawn one
hears It said with a fatalistc resigna.
tion that the great conflict that is to In
volve all Europe In an unparalleled con-
flagration has only been postponed till
the spring, because the present time of
year is not favorable. to campaigning.
To many Germans Providence is little
more than the Great Ally" whose prin-
cipal office it is to watch over the sue
cess of German arms. 1t is those who
do not profess and call themselves Chris
tians who openly admit their craving for
the millennium.
Superstitution plays no small part in
the prevailing pessimism. 1t counts for
much that this year is 1913, and the cen
tenary of the Battle of the Nations >
There are even people who think that
Emperor William will desire to signalize
the twenty-fifth anniversary of his sue
cession by some grand spectacular mil
itary display on the world stage. II
need hardly be said. however. that per-
sons in authority In this country are
not actuated by superstitution or ruth
less personal ambition.
The sense of uneasiness with regard to
the foreign situation is aggravated by
Germanys internal outlook. In the reich
stag there sits a permanent rebel force
of 110 socialists and the center Is, to all
appearances, meditating open parliamen-
tary revolt Apprehensions must always
be aroused In country where the wish
of the population has no influence on
| the appointment of ministers.
