WY LILLIAN was an only child.
W. and his mother. had so badly
" spoiled him from babyhood
that when he was ten years
old he was a great, lazy ill-tempered,
and selfish boy. He would lie in bed
and have his poor, tired mother bring
his breakfast to him. Then he would
loll around the house all day. saying
he was too sick to go to school.
OF course, this was bad for a young
boy. and by end By his lazy life did be-
gin to affect his health. He lost his
appetite and then petulantly complain
ed to his mother that she had nothing
fit to eat. He was too lazy to play
with other boys, and, after DOING on
lounge all day. of course he could
not sleep at night.
This distressed his poor mother very
much. but she was too devoted to Will
lam to realize the real cause of his bad
feelings.
William had an uncle who was n
noted~physician, and his mother begged
that he would come and see her sick
boy. Now, this uncle was not only
fine physician. but a wise and sensible
man. AS soon as he saw William he
knew what the real trouble was, but he
also knew that the boy was too spoiled
to obey any Instructions he would give
him If they were at all disaGreeable to
follow. After long thought, he said to
both William and his mother:
The boy is very, very sick, and all
my skill can do nothing for such
case. But there is living in my city a
doctor who works the most marvellous
, cures b. magic. 1 will send him here
to william"
The uncle departed. and few days
later there appeared a man dressed In
flowing robes covered with figures OF
stars and moons and strange animals.
He carried a long staff and had
snow-white beard that reached to his
knees.
II am sent to see your son., he SAID
to the mother, and was shown in where
william was lying sulkily on lounge
II need only one glance at him 10
tell that if he does not follow my IN
structions he will be ruined for me-
said the strange doctor. Il can cure
him bv magic, not by medicines. Then
he uttered some strange, unlntelhgiole
words and then said:

vinced him hat Mr.. Pitchers future
business warranted a present accom-
mediation of five hundred dollars, so
he drew up a note. Pitcher signed
1t and the cashier called a clerk and
ordered him to credit the account of

the way out paused at the paying

ter his signature, and to ask for a
small check book.
TWO weeks later the steam schoon-
er Alcatraz came in from the Men
docino coast with cargo Of short
fluming consigned to Reuben X.
Pitcher at Oakland Long Wharf.
Pitcher was on hand, accompanied
by string of flat cars and the ves-
sci commenced discharging at once.
At five o'clock the master of the ves-
sci gave the order to lay off work for
that day, but before the longshore-
men could scramble over the side,

"Hang around minute, boys" he
shouted. I'm going to try to induce

The prospect of overtime, paid for
at time and half, checked the rush,
and Pitcher came aboard. Within
five minutes he had arranged with
the master of the vessel to permit his
crew to work all night, provided
Pitcher paid the overtime. The mates
growled, but five dollars to each of
them changed their frowns to the
sunniest of smiles, and right after
supper the work of diScharging re-
commenced. At midnight new gang
of longshoremen came on, and at ten
o'clock the following morning the
last stick went over the rail into the
fiat car. An hour later all of the cars
had been weighed out, and bills of
lading had been issued to Pitcher.

! when a clerk In the wharf Office
stepped out and informed him that

FOR REUNITED PARTY
MOST EARNEST THOUGHTS OF
ALL REPUBLICANS NEEDED.
Country Requires the Services Of Pa
trlotlo Organization Which Has
So Thoroughly Proved Its
Worth In the Past.

Report of scheme to capture the
Republican organization for Roose'
velts nomination in 1916 is important
mainly as illustrating the difficulties
in the way of reuniting the Repub-
lican party. These obstacles may be
divided into two classes There is,
first, in each the class whose personal
power and ambition rests in keeping
control of either Republican or Pro
gressive faction. There is further
the probably much larger class. which
distrusts any proposition for union,
because it suspects 1t as cloak to
let the hated enemy into power again.
The reported scheme will affect the
latter class and may be a product OF
the first class for that purpose. But
1t should be understood that no ef-
fective union is to be attained by
nominating any man prominently
identified with either faction in the
quarrel of last year. The Republican
party is now exactly where the Demo
cratic party was sixteen years ago;
and the experience of that party
showed that the breach could not be
healed by nominating either Bryan
himself second and third time or by
nominating representative OF the
opposing wing. 1t was only when the
Democracy took up a candidate whose
political growth was entirely subse-
quent and extraneous to the develop
ment of Organism that it was able to
coalesce sufficiently to take advantage
of the Republican split.
Roosevelt would not therefore as a
Republican candidate unite the Repub-
lican party. We might ss we'll talk of
uniting 1t by renominating Taft. The
same Is true Of the lieutenants most
prominent in the factional fight.
Dixon. Finn or Clapp on one side or
Root, Penrose or Crane on the other.
Possibly some progressive Republican
like Hadley. La Toilette or Cummins
might do it But the probability Is
decided that the mutual jealousy and
suspicious will persist. 80 that there
will be plenty of time for man to
grow up whose name does not recall
the quarrel of 1912, and who may
therefore unite the Republicans as
Wilson did the Democrats.
But things will have to change de-
cidedly from the present aspect II
such plan OF union becomes feasible
before 1920. or perhaps 1924
