"Oh dear" said Daisy, cant you get
in? Kneel down and I'll pull. I didn't
know you We're so dreadfully big"
You might practice barking while I
am getting you in" Daisy suggested.
"Bow-wow-wowi Bow WOW WOW =
wowl" said the professor on his knees.
Wonderfully exclaimed Daisy, and
then with jerk that made no allow
ances for his nose, and that made Ansel
vince, the struggle was over and in a
second more he was fastened into his
costume.
If Ansel had specialized in barking
and somersaulting instead of in philol-
ogy he could not have carried off his
part in better manner, and during the
intervals between his appearances,
when he followed Daisy around the
stage dog-fashion or stood up to help
her with the scene shifting, or sat in
a corner of the diminutive wings. he
saw before, and he learned more about
college women than is usually expected
of young instructors. But for the most
part he was watching through his dog
eyes the agile young figure of Daisy.
Later, when the play was over, and
Daisy had hurried him out of dog skin
and he had returned to his little office,
he heard the voices of the college girls
in the audience cheering. They called
for the heroine and the hero and the
rest of the cast Then his heart
thrilled within him as he heard them
cheering for the Woodworking Daisy.
Next like cold wind came another
cheer, 1.-The dog. the dog" he heard
them calling. I'VE want the dog! We
want the dogr'
Ansel was alarmed indeed. What If
Daisy had to tell! What if the faculty
found out! Ansel sat there in his little
room in terror, and finally as the light
of day faded and the cheering ceased
he forgot his fea-. and remembered
only the charm of Daisy.
Then Daisy came back to his office.
She had come up to thank him and to
tell him that no one would ever know.
AS she turned to go she blushed. and
then as he looked at her she blushed
again. Then, somehow Ansel got up his
courage to tell Daisy that he loved her,
and Daisy, because she was tired and
hot from the scene shifting, cried a few
tears on his shoulder and told him in
a whisper that she was the happiest
girl in Clayburn And the old Min
ervas of AnsePs dreams vanished for
1913. by the Mcclure

If all three vacancies should be filled

FROM OTHER PENS
THE TITANIC DECISION

After all, the steamship company
owning the lost Titanic is not to be
permitted to escape full legal respon-
sibility through a Ioophole in the ad-
miralty law. The reversal by higher
federal court of the decision enjoining
relatives or heirs of the 1000 passengers
who went down with the Titanic from
entering suits for full damages on pain
of going to Jail for contempt, opens the
way for a renewal of efforts to secure
redress. Had the favorable decision
been delayed six weeks longer claims
aggregating 900 would have been
outlawed by expiration of the period
within which court proceedings could
be instituted Dos
Thus, it has taken nearly a year to
establish right to sue, The company
is contesting every inch of ground with
all the power which unlimited resources
command. The admiralty decision
would have let the defendants off prac-
tically scot free as regards liability for
loss of life. And seeing that all the
other lessons to be drawn from the dis
aster have been negatived by the fail
ure of governments and legislators to
carry out the reforms they set out to
establish with such a show of zeal, the
cause of humanity cannot be said to
have been promoted appreciably, even
though those responsible for the crown
ing horror of ocean travel be heavily
dent is closed.-Washingto Post
ARBITRATION REQUIRED.
Even-handed justice would dictate
compulsory arbitration for common
carriers and their employees, if for no
other reason than that compulsory ar
bitration already has a partial appH-
cation. The recommendation of the
arbitrator last year, when the de-
mands of the engineers were pre-
scented, that permanent wages boards
should be established and that all
grievances of employees should be
submitted to them was sound from the
standpoint of the public interest, the
railroads and the employees them
selves. The union leaders may de-
nounce the project, they may declare
that their organizations will never ac-
cept anything embodying the principle
of compulsory arbitration; but if the
public interest is superior to any class
interest and if the present one-sided
arrangement embodies injustice their
protests will ultimately grow feeble
and all sides will acquieSce in a syS-
tenn under which railroads may be
operated without the recurrence of
these dangerous and disturbing crises
over the threatened suspension of
traffic and the paralysis of society's
vital economic unctions.-Springfie

FUNNY FELLOWS.

The writers on metropolitan news

JaDS at the country newspaper style,
yet no country correspondent ever de-
volops quite so much Stiffness as the
city wap, when he is going his best.
Now, the telegraph tolls were enor-
nous to carry this message all over
this land of the free and the home of
this incident of vital Importance to
the people, went sizzling over the
wires: His first meal in the White
House was a simple one. He and Mrs.
Wilson and the three girls partook of

where the heck else would this fam
lily eat its breakfast, except in the
house where they lived, and in the
room is provided? Besides it was a,
simple one"-very likely a few boiled
eggs, some sausage, or ham, and
american people of the idea that
woodrow ordered picked tongue of
canary birds, kangaroo tails or
noodles-he had just such a breakfast
as any other sane American, might
have. He ate it in the house, and his
own folks "partook of it" with him,
as you will note. They didn't go out
on the back porch, or go panhandling
at the back doors of their neighbors
for their breakfast-they actually had
stuff of their own to eat, had it served
in the diningroom and none of the
family was barred. This is highly i'm
portant, if true.-Gomer Davies.

SOMETHING WILL BE DONE.
Some of the Bull Moose papers are
predicting that there will be no call for
a Republican national convention be-
cause Chairman Hilles IS opposed to It.
There does not appear to be suffi-
cient reason for believing that Mr.
Hilles is opposed to the plan. He has
said that he would call a meeting if a
majority of the national committee ask
him to. That is about all he could say.
1t is pointed out that the southern
members will not be apt to sign such
a call, but they are but a small part
of the committee. And even if Hilles
and a majority of the committee refuse
to call the meeting that does not set
tie the matter. Many of the biggest
men of the party are strongly in favor
of doing something and they are men
big enough to see that it is done. There
will be a reconstruction of the party
before the opening of the 1914 cam
paign.-Leavenworth Times.
