she is SO able an exponent. There is
no 1ntimation that she will remain
longer, that she will be asked to do

AESOP AND CROESUS
Hitherto Unpublished Story About
the Great FabuIist,

A correspondent who is jerry to
more than we are in ancient history
and biography sends us this hitherto
unpublished page from the life of a
great fabulist:
John P. Aesop, who had gone to
Sardis to help King Croesus pull off
some political jobs, went out for a
stroll on Euclid, which was the prin-
cipal thoroughfare of that thoroughly
fair city. When he returned to the
palace he told the king the following
wheeze:
"An Ass met a Calf one After
noon"
"Ah, dear chap" said the ASS, "You
look ILL.,"
"Yass," answered the Calf, Caught
frightful cold this Mawning."

beastly street car and chap behind
me whistled."

TOO GOOD TO BE GREAT
4 Missouri Lad Who Never viii Be
Governor of His State.

This happened in a small town in
Missouri last week at the annual pic
mic: A faker, from his improvised
platform, was trying to attract the at
tention of the crowd. His first effort
was to proclaim in stentorian tones
that he was going to convert four sill
yer dollars into a So bill by some
magic process. This alluring promise
! was seemingly forgotten later and
never fulfilled Suddenly he projected
the question: What day of the month
is this?" The crowd, fearing some
hoax, was silent, but small lad piped
up the correct date and the faker
nodded his appreciation and called out:
Now you're bright boy; come up on
the stand and hold these four silver
dollars l have wrapped up in this
handkerchief" reaching out his hand
and helping the youth up.
What is your manner" inquired the
faker.
George Carpenter"
George Carpenter" repeated the
man. THAT is good American name.
Who knows but you may someday be
the governor of this glorious state?
Who knows? How old are you,
George?"
Eleven years DID," came the prompt
response.
We'll, you are a bright boy, indeed.
Have you a father?"
Yes"
Have you a mother?"
yes"
Did you ever tell lie?"
mo, Sir"
did you ever steal anything?'
mo, Sir"
did you ever cheat anybody"

The faker shook his head hopelessly.
Well, George, l am sorry to blast your
hopes, but boy who has never lied,
never stolen, or never cheated any one
could never be nor."-Kansas

IS THE WAITING GAME WISE?

President Wilson seems to be play
ing waiting game in trying to reach
a solution in the Mexican problem. He
probably knows better than the outside
public what is occurring on the inside.
His course may be wise and justified
by circumstances in which the public
is not informed 1t is safe to presume
that congress stands behind him in the
policy that is being maintained.
On the other hand the United States
occupies an anomalous position. Mex
leans are credited with the belief that
Uncle Sam is "bluffing." We hesitate
to take decisive action. This has re-
suited in a defiance from the head of
the provisional government. Carranza,
the rebel leader, becoming intoxicated
with recent victories, seems to expect
and demand the right of official ne
gotiations with America. Now Car
rama has passed the duck" United
States can accede to his demands or
nothing General Villa is reported e
be plotting the overthrow of Carranza.
This in itself indicates that even
should Huerta be deposed, the internal
strife in Mexico will continue. 1t will
always be war among the Gringoes,
no matter who may rise to power. Now |
what's the matter with Uncle Sam?
Under constitutional right the Uni
ted States may with propriety recog
nize the belligerancy of the constitu-
tionalists. The government has the
right to raise the embargo on arms
permit the warning factions to slaugh-
ter one another. Sooner or later eth
er side will appeal for Intervention.
On the other hand why not inter
vene? 1t is the only solution that will
be of benefit to the Mexican republic.
To be true it may result in loss of life
to Americans, but this has not always i
been the case. Even in the Philippines |
and in Cuba, Intervention resulted {
without serious loss of life to Uni r
ted States soldiers except through dis h
ease which has caused more deaths c
than bullets.
Cuba is a free country The Phil =
ippines is a free country. True they d
are both under the domination of Am II
erican officials but the natives take n
an active part in the affairs of their n
respective countries. The only SOL n
ltion of the Mexican problem is inter e
yention and that speedily. Then and j
not until then will the country adj ];
'ance. Mexico will eventually need al
he proper influences to make it a W
lation of prominence and stability I'll
Why not take the step now. 1t seems
S if the administration should weigh
II the facts. It's up to us, why not

FARM PRODUCE.

One Of the great advantages in
fact that such transactions are often
in the nature of an exchange. While
the home merchant sells goods to the
farmers, he takes from them their
produce, eggs, butter, vegetables and
poultry. Not only that, he takes this
produce, whether or not he wants it.
OF course the reader of these lines
makes good butter, or his family does,
there are those among his neighbors
who are not so skillful. The home
merchant buys the produce of the
poor buttermaker as well as that of the
other, although he must lose money
on it in the selling.
Now that the parcel post has gone
into effect, there is offered one way
by which the country purchaser may
test the interest of the mail-order man
whom he has patronized. The pro-
Queer may now send eggs to the city
by parcel post. There is device pa
tented which will hold sixteen eggs
and stand pressure of 200 pounds.
The rules of the parcel post admit of
the transportation of eggs, butter and
poultry 1t would be we'll to try and see
if mail-order houses will accept some
produce in exchange for goods. We |
have never heard of such deals being
made but it is certainly a fair prop
osition 1t will give the country buy
er a clear idea of the relative value,
to him, of the mail-order house and
the home merchant.
No, the best interest of the farmer
requires that he should buy at home.
Give the home merchant your entire
patronage and he will accommodate
