McGraw demanded that sum. And
one Of the reasons he secured it was
because he offered just one aherna-

You know, my papa he went and died
And left just my mamma and me
And Spot-that's his name-and we cried

For we missed him lot we three.
And mamma she works, and we got along,
And Spot he stayed home with me
And never went out, for I'm not very
strong,
And 1 have to have some one, you see.
The dog man that took him away he said
He'd keep him ten days in the pound,
And after that time poor Spot'll be dead
And three days from now Spot'll be
drowned.
So please, Mr.. Santa, if you can spare
A dollar to set Spot free,
Please take it and give to the man up

And send home my puppy to me.
And please, Mr.. Santa, if you haven't got
No dollar to spend that way,

Spot
And tell him we'll meet some day
And If you don't mind that he's not very

The Youngest State Depart

Universal Help
WAS PART OF BUDGET
SCHEME OF WELSHMAN
Gives Expert Advice on Public Utility
Matters Ranging From Profitable
Bee-Keeping to the Speeding
Up of Agriculture

London, August 16.-(Special) )-The idea
of running the affairs of England with
the smartness modern business man
shows in the management of his con-
Germs, took a long time in reaching the
governmental mind. John Bull has been
too prone In the past to muddle along
anyhow, and until about thre years ago
no attempt was made to develop the coun-
try's economic resources. Works of pub
lie utility and Improvement schemes never
got under way for want of cash. The
needs for such enterprises was only whis-
pered by bright spirits who knew what
the British colonies had been doing in
the way of realising their potentialities.
This state of things was due to the in
herent conservatism which is a tempera-
mental defect of the Britisher. Now, al
though the unrealized possibilities of the
nation are being surveyed and their
growth assisted officially, not one out OF
every hundred citizens In King Georges
realm knows anything about the means
by which these ends are accomplished.
No Excuse for Ignorance
There is little excuse for this ignorance
because this particular work has been
under way for more than three years,
carried out by machinery specially de-
vised for the purpose by act of parlia-
ment. Under the provisions of the de-
Nelopment ana road Improvement IundS
act, 1909-1910, eight officials, known as the
development commission, were appointed
to adYise the treasury in the administra-
ton of a national fund for the develop
! ment of agriculture and other economic
resources og the United Kigdom. 1t is
pointed out in an official document that
the scheme for agricultural instruction
and research when in full operation,
should go some way towards organizing
into coherent system the more scien-
tific side of agriculture, as the schemes
for promoting cooperation should help in
organizing its more commercial side"
The development commission owes it's
institution to Chancellor Lloyd George s
famous budget, which first imposed tax
On undeveloped land: and that indomita-
Bile statesman must be looked upon as the
parent of this significant movement.
Grants and loans are made to local au-
| thorities out of a fund which is fed by

LADY GREGORY PLANS
THEATRES ON WHEELS

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Dublin, August 16.-(Special. lady
Gregory, whose name will be by this
time familiar to most Americans
through her connection with the Irish
players and the Abbey theater aenter-
prise, has new scheme for popular
izng Irish dramatic are in ireland.
Her ladyship finds that outside some
of the larger cities and towns in the
Emerald Isle there is population will
ling to support Irish plays We're they
only brought within their reach
Hence she is now organizing a caravan
mpaign-something on the lines of
the old travelling circus-by which she
hopes to bring the best dramatic tall
ent to the doors of rural Ireland.
She feels that in the ordinary course
of things she cannot hope to pursue
much longer the strenuous life of or
binary theatrical management, and, as
the crowning act of a career that has
been mostly spent in studying the
ideals and interests of the Irish peas
anutry, she means to spend the remain
der of her fortune in educating them
through the agency of the travelling
theater.
Her new venture will cost her a con :
siderable amount, because those who
will come to patronize it cannot pay
fancy prices for seats. Her friends will
follow with some anxiety the reception
of such productiorn as the ''Playboy
of the Western World"

BY CLEMENT J. BARRETT

Rome August 16.-(Specal.) )-'rheodore
Reinach has made some very interesting
discoveries as a result of 10 years constant
study of the coins of Nikopolis, the cap
ital of Little Armenia, the latest king OF
band of the famous Salorne. whose dam
gerous arts and dancing cost John the
Baptist his head.
Renach. through a new Interpretation
Of the coins has found 1t possible to
clear up unknown particulars of the life
of Arstobulos and of salome and at the
same time the sayant gives complete dis
crlption OF the personnel of the dancing
girl, supported by conclusive facts pieced
together by great labor and patience. Size
must have been of really bewitching beau
ty Her nose was straight, her forehead
high and her bust compared with the cir
conference of her hips was unusually
full and large.
Her husband was on the contrary quite
! homely. His face reveals signs of dull
ness of mind and brutality. says Reinach.
An accurate study of the dates of The
coins proves that when Salome made her
famous dance before her father, Herod,
she must have been child of only about
IL years-but girls of that age were often
wives during the time of Herod and Aris-
tobulos.
The legend says that the beautiful Queen
of NilSopolis died under very tragic cir-
cumstances She was walking over a
| frozen river, when the ice broke under
her feet and as she fell into the chilly
water pieces of ice struck her head. She
was still young and in the fun flower of
her beauty.

London, August 16.-(Special.)-I these
days when records are broken every week
or two, it is arresting to come upon one
that has stood intact ever since 1894. That
was the record for the longest flight OF
an arrow from a bow. 1t has just been
broken after 119 years. and by music
ian. The deed was done at the annual
archery meeting at LIE Touquet, France,
by an Englishman bearing the unex-
pecetd name of Iago Simon, who shot, an
arrow 459 yards, the distance being of
ficially measured. The next best flight
at the meeting was 457 yards, also made
by Simon. The third best was onlq 236
yards.
The new holder of this ancient record
modestly attributes his success to the
fact that instead of using the ordinary
modern yew bow he used an old Turkish
bow, of the kind that ceased to be made
about 1885, when the secret of 1t seems
to have bene lost. Simon's bow, which is
dated and signed by the maker, was
made in the early part of the eighteenth
