when people are sincerely trying to vote

TO place the political situation before

Those who urge this view declare that.
accepting the statement Of the predecessor
Of Mr.. Burleson-
Educates the Voters 100000 pounds
at Small Expense. documents were
circulated through the mails free last
year-it still represents an actual outlay
on the part or the government of only
a a. Cfot ted ho ha
cost Of handling free mail approximates
10 cents a pound II is further pointed
out that even this may be vastly higher
figure of the total cost TO the government
to distribute this free matter than oondi-
lions would warrant. For instance. the
pay Of the railroads was not increased,
it Is claimed. because of the presence OF
this additional mail for this four-rnonth
period. Neither did il add anything TO
the expense Of the star route or the rural
free delivery service. Nor yet did IL add
anything to railway mail clerk hire. IL
is contended that aside from the few
extra clerks required at some points and
the few extra letter carriers. IL was more
in the nature of q case of simply crowd
ing the service to its capacity rather than
of increasing its cost-simply case or
a little more work for the forces engaged
regularly in handling the mails rather
| than additional expenses.
They urge that anything that tends to
inform the 100000 voters of the United

| how much extra force was required to
handle 1t, because that would represent

they contend that the actual cost of dis

narrow margin of saving there would
have been in the cost of operating the

gan to cut the trees. AS soon as one
was down he would cut 1t into short
lengths and roll them into the canal.
Then he would float them out to his pond
and over to his storehouse. He took
the larger branches on which there was
sweet tender bark in the same way, for
Paddy is never wasteful.
After q while he went over to his
stnrehouse, which. you know. was nothing
but q great pile of aspen logs and
branches in his pond close by his house.
He studied it very carefully, then he
swan back and climbed up on the bank
Of his canal.
"Mr. Jay" said he. II think our work
is about finished"
"Whatr' cried Sammy, aren't you GO
ing to cut the rest of these aspen trees %
NO" replied Paddy. Enough is al
ways enough, and I've got enough to last
me all winter. / want those trees for
next year.
Sammy looked disappointed. You see,
he had just begun to learn that the
greatest pleasure in the world comes
from doing things for other people For
the first time since he could remember
some one wanted him around, and It
gave him such a good feeling down deep
inside. He was just going to say some
thing when his sharp eyes caught sight
Of something moving very slowly and
carefully toward PaddyS pond With q
shrill scream he flew over to sec what
1t was. Paddy didn't wait He plunged
into his canal and then swan under the
water all the way to his house.

Paddy Finishes His Harvest.

Sammy guards against surprise.
II 'twere not for Sammy Jay
] could do no work today.
When Sammy overhead Paddy the
Beaver say that to Jerry Muskrat II
made him swell up all over with pure
pride. You see. Sammy is SO used to
hearing bad things about himself that
to hear something nice like that tickled
him almost to death. He straightway
forgot all the mean things he had said
to Paddy when he first saw him-how
he had called him a thief because he had
cut the aspen trees he needed. He for
got all this. He forgot how Paddy had
made him the laughing stock Of the
by cutting down the very tree In which
he was sitting. He forgot everything
but that Paddy had trusted him to keep
watch and now was saying nice things
about him. He made up his mind that
he would deserve all the nice things that
Paddy could say, and he thought that
Paddy was the finest fellow in the world.
Jerry Muskrat looked doubtful. He
didn't trust Sammy and he took care
not to go far from the water when he
heard that Old Man Coyote had been
hanging around. But Paddy worked
world.
1.-The way to make people want to be
trusted is to trust Them said he to him
self. IF 1 show Sammy Jay that l don't
really trust him he will think It is Of no
use to try. and will give 1t up. But II
/ do trust him, and he knows that I do.
he'll be the best Waterman in the Green
Forest
And this shows that Paddy the Beaver
has q great deal of wisdom, for it was
just as he thought. Sammy was on hand
bright and early every morning. He made
sure that Old Man Loyote was nowhere
in the Green Forest and then he made
himself comfortable In the top OF a tall
pine tree, where he could see all that
was going on while Paddy the Beaver
worked.
Paddy had finished his canal, and a
beautiful canal it was, leading straight
from his pond up to the aspen trees.
AS soon as he had finished it he be-
