others who were prominent in the early

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
WHY COCOANUTs HAVE FACES.

~ EEP in the heart Of the African
jungle lived family OF
monkeys in the day of long
ago-so long and far back
that there were no people in the
hole in the trunk Of an old banyan
roamed through the great forests.
So the mother monkey and her fam
ily OF four children lived happily in a
hole In the trunk Of an old banyan
tree by the edge of a wide river. In
the family was an adopted monkey
whose name was Koko. He was an
orphan, and the mother monkey had
taken him in and treated him kindly
and given him a home with her own.
But Koko did not appreciate this i
bit. for he was a mean imp and would
fight the other children. steal their
things and eat their food just to tease
them. And nothing seemed to make
him have any idea of how wrong he
was acting.
Now the young monkeys had a pretty
plaything which Koko was always
stealing. It was a big green ball which
grew on q bush in the jungle. So these
monkey children would toss 1t about
from one to another by the hour and
thought 1t great fun. At last when the
season for the balls being ripe had gone
by and there was only one left koko
stole that and hid II in a bush far away
from the home.
But when the bad monkey was cover
ing 1t with earth an old tiger happened
to be doing near by and saw 1t all
But he kept still. AS Koko crept home
he saw the end OF the tigers tall, and
knew this was a chance to play a mean
trick, so he gave a sharp bite on the
tail, then dashed away and left the poor
old tiger bowling with pain. .
Now. in the tree just above where the
tiger lay lived a good little Brownie
who was very fond of the old tiger and
very angry at the bad monkey. So he
slid down the tree and rubbed the
tigers tail softly till the pain stopped.
THAT impish monkey is going TO ruin
everything in this neighborhood." said
the Brownie. HE seems to wish only
to make everyone unhappy"
1T would be a good thing II We could
get rid of him." replied the tiger, but
there does not seem to be any way
Well laughed the Brownie. Il

Koko and tell him that you know some
wonderful news. which is that II any
one will find the very last Of the green
balls from the bush near his home and
run 1t on their faces 1t will make them

The Tariff Achievement
Milwaukee Journal.
q price.

Milwaukee Journal.
The Underwood tariff bill has become law.
For the first time in fifty years the interests of
the people have triumphed in the enactment of a
tariff measure. Party pledges have been observ-
ed, the tariff has been removed or substantially
lowered on many articles of common necessity,
most of all beginning has been made of show
ing the fasity of the claim that high tariffs have
been protecting American labor The fundamen-
tai of the tariff question has probably been set
tied for all time. 1t is big half years work.
Yet not even the tremendous Importance of a
tariff that comes much nearer honest
measure, so much nearer the needs of the people
of the land, that is sincere attempt, tariff
has been in quarter of a century, to live up to
party pledges-not this is the thing of
greatest value to the nation in the passage of the
tariff measure. The one thing of overwhelming
import is that privilege, intrenched, ramified in
q thousand directions, bringing 10000 influences
to bear in the fight for its life, has been over
thrown. In the greatest issue it has made in a
half century, brought to a crisis after repeated
failure, representative government has triumph
ed. This is a great victory, whose immediate re-
suits cannot fail to be far reaching and whose
effects must last for very many years. 1t is long
before bully forgets the man who is given him
q sound beating, and the satellites of bully are
never again so firmly attached after their leader
has been whipped
To President Wilson is due great credit for
the leadership which has brought to success
doubtful issue, for the courage which has made
him unyielding when he knew that he right,
for the vision which revealed to him that with
the people of great country at his back, he
must succeed if he did not falter. For this has
been the secret of his leadership-no myster-
ious whip that he yielded on congressman and
senators, but the knowledge that the country was
with him, the straightforwardness with which he
reminded the peoples representatives of their
masters commands and the frankness with
which he has told the country of the efforts made
to influence legislation.
1t is this character of reaffrmation of the
principle of representative government that
gives to the passage of the tariff the distinction
of an epoch-making event and to the world the
assurance that the American experiment in de-
mocracy has not yet failed.

Real Wages

local manufacturer said to US not long
since, What do care about municipal affairs?
] believe every manufacturer should stick strictly
to his business and let the city stick to its.
The manufacturer who dabbles in the CONNER
cial Club and similar enterprises is wasting his
time If he sees that his paid honest
wages he has fulfilled his obligations to the COM
munity."
A shorter sighted policy could hardly be con-
ceived. For a manufacturer to lock himself up
in private office is to prepare his own grave
as business man. And aside from the narrow
outlook he is sure to have he makes the biggest
imaginable blunder when he says, Il fix the
wages of my men,
What are wages? Are they the dollars in a
workingman's pay envelope? No indeed! A
mans real wages the quality of life which
his pay enables him to secure. If in Chicago
man receives fifty dollars per week but houses
in a tenement and breathes foul air and dies
early of the White Plague he is receiving less in
actual wage than the village shoemaker whose
income is ten per week but has pure food, fresh
air. and the joys of a healthy social life.
1t is the community which fixes real wages.
And manufacturers missing the point when
they think they have secured a higher degree
of efficiency when they have increased pay.
Efficient workmen cannot be had until the social
conditions in which they work make them heal
thy, contented and willing.
Manufacturers who devote money and time
to increasing the life standard of Richmond
doing more to raise wages than the employer
who merely puts one more dollar each week in
the pay.

SONG

Stay stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Housekeeping hearts happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best
Weary and homesck and distressed.
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
BY the winds of the wilderness of doubt:
To stay at home is best
Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
Der all that flutter their wings and fly
hawk is lowering in the sky;
To stay at home is best

Whv Britain Won't Exhibit

Newspapers of more or less yellow hue have
made much of Britans refusal to build pavilion
and exhibit British goods at the governments
expense. The theory has been that John Bull
was peeved because didn't arbitrate the Pana-
ma Canal question and takes this method of Civ
ing us tit for tat. But now comes Sir Edward
Grey, England's minister of foreign relations,
and explains that the affair would have cost his
government too much money in view of the re-
turns. He argues that an adequate display would
cost over a million, sum altogether too high
in view of the millions spent during the past
few years on other expostions. Besides, he says,
the Panama Canal Exposition will be Gigantic
national advertisement" and Englshmen are not
of mind to help Yankee prosperity at so great
price.

six years on their "horseless corriage"
The work was done in secret on this
first motor car in a little shed in Ok

completed, Captain Ogle and his asso-
ciates started the steam engine and
placed a supply of coke and water on
the automobile.

nothing of his exploit would be known
today. Even the inventors Christian

Fifteen years ago yesterday, on Oct
ober 6, 1898, there appeared in Rich
mond, a small two-passenger automo-
lille made by the White Steamer Au-
tomobile company. heading a parade
of the Henry Minstrels. The minstrel
was advertised far and wide, the fea-
ture of it being the exhibition of the
first automobile in use in this part
of the state. Crowds of people were
in the streets when the parade start
ed up Main street, headed by the chug-
ging little steamer in which Hi Henry,
the manager of the minstrels, rode
with his wife
Al Spekenheier, who is now a resi-
dent of the southwest, saw the ma
chine and bargained with Henry for
it. The price he offered was an in
ducement to the minstrel man and
Spekenheier took possession of it and
is credited with owning Richmond's
first automobile.
Striking Coincident.
That the purchase of the car and
the appearance on the streets hap
pened to be on that date, was a CO.
incident, as on the same date just Sc
years before, the first automobile
made it's first run on the streets of
Oxford, England, and over a rough
country road to Birmingham, creating
as much interest among the English
as the first steamer created among
Richmondites.
The credit for the invention of the
first self propelled carriage, which
was run over roads like the present
automobile, but resembling little the
motor vehicles of today, is due not
to modern inventors of TWENTY-FIVE or
thirty years ago, but to Captain Ogle.

him how to dispose Of cases being heard.
At last, after two trials he was committed to
Matteawan Hospital to remain until his recent
notorious escape.
