% - :.--..-.-.-.-. !.

+" AVE you ever watched sea
lion play? Not of course in its
really truly home in the ocean
oh mol But in its pretend home-a
big pool in park or museum.
Some day when you have an oppor-
tunity go and call on sea-lion.
Great, ungainly, lubberly creatures
though they are, they are as playful
as kittens and can make jolly game
out of the least diversion.
Down in the famous Aquarium at
Battery Park in New York City, in a
big pool all by himself, there lives
sea-lion.
Now, wouldn't you think he'd be
lonesome, living there alone, with
nothing to do but swish around in the
water all day?
But he isn'tl Not a bit, for he can
manufacture fun for himself and when
sea-lions-or people-carf make fun out
of little happenings they are never lone
some anywhere.
One day, little boy, oh about as old
as you are, went with his father to see
this famous sea-lion at the Battery.
He went full of happy anticipations
of all the wonderful things he would
see that sea-lion do.
But the lion didn't do a thing-not
a single solitary thing interesting or
otherwise. He just laid there in the
water as quiet and stupid as if he never
had moved, never would move, and
didn't know how to move anyway.
The little boy was so disappointed;
he waited and watched patiently but
when nothing happened and the sea
lion didn't move, newell, he almost
got lump in his throat for you see
this was the only time he could be
sure of coming to the Battery and he
had heard much about that sea-lion's
fun.
just at the very minute when the
sea-iion was the stillest and when the
little boy was really tired standing first
on one foot and then on the other,
the sea-iion's keeper happened along.
And happened to notice the patient
little boy-wasn't that lucEys
Hes pretty quiet this morning,
isn't hep" remarked the keeper.
Eyes, he is r answered the little boy
emphatically as he smiled all over and
forgot entirely about being tired. 81

Miss Clarke, lingering woman like on
the verge of tears. Mr.. Kelly for
tunately, was not present at the time.
Peggy, with swift feminine under
standing, took things in at once. That
she should be the cause of such pain
in a sister hurt and dismayed her
She little thought that it meant so
much to Miss Clarke as this.
1t does not occupy Peggy long to hit
upon a means of smoothing the matter
She feels that she wants to rush to
the sorrowing lady, pour out the whole
story OF her mean little scheming and
ask forgiveness. But, rejecting, she
sees that this would be useless. Miss
Clarke would only deny that Peggy
was in any way the accessory to her
sorrow.
Moved, however, by a warmth of
feeling that she cannot suppress,
Peggy. hitherto unobserved, steps be-
hind Miss Clarises chair and for
moment rests a sympathetic hand on
her shoulder. But she says nothing
and putting fresh water in the vase
OF flowers on the desk she turns to
her own work
And now Peggy sets her wits to the
forming of a plan that will permit her
to withdraw from things with as good
grace as possible Thoroughly vexed
at her own behavior, she is determin-
ed to deal out her own punishment
Mr.. Kelly is later dismayed to see
the frigidty Peggy showers upon him.
Approaching her with a genial sally,
he is suddenly and heartlessly rebuff
ed. He goes to Miss Clarke complain
ing.
isn't she the whimsical party,
thought" says Mr.. Kelly.
"Oh. 1 think she's as sweet as she
can be-"
And when Peggy and Miss Clarke
leave that evening arm in arm, Mr..
Kelly looks after and marvels.

Peggy has discovered the favors she
has shown Mr.. Kelly have worked a
greater sorrow for Miss Clarke than
she had ever meant. Though just a
little unkind, of course, her first plans
were innocent enough and 1t must not
be thought that she would have con-
ceived the scheme had she thought
that 1t would have such consequences.

The one perplexing development,
and a very unforeseen one, 1t is true
seems to be the liking Peggy has ac-
quired for Mr.. Kelly. She does not
in any sense care" for him. But just
the same he diverts her and she has a
relish for his little pleasantries.

with Mr.. Kelly that Peggy came upon

Don't they?" laughed the keeper,
Gust watch" He threw the bright
apple into the water right in front of
that lazy sea-lion.
Lazy? Not any moreI That sea-
lion darted after the apple like a kitten
after ball of Irvine He poked it,
and he nosed it through the water.
he balanced it on his nose and tossed
it in the air-he even poked it onto the
low platform in the center Of his tank
and then laboriously climbed UP and
poked it into the water againl
He gamboled and fro1icked and
swished gaily through the water while

independent Voting

Never In Penns Grove was there SO
much independent voting as at the
election last Tuesday. The result
shows that voters are thinking more
and discriminating more between Nd
tional, State and Local issues and that
men are being voted for generally than
for party. The motives may be
partisan, for principles, personal favors
Or friendships. Whatever the motives
for supporting men of different offices,
other than intense craftsmanship, II
keeps the officials from being arbitrary
and give all factions a part In the ad-
ministration of the Government and
educates them in citizenship.
The main think for all officials tC
keep in mind is that the functions OF
all officials are prescribed by law.
Thomas Jefferson said: When o man
assumes a public trust he should con-
slider himself public property. The
whole art Of government consists In
the art of being honest"

The PHILADELPHIA Record

About three quarters OF the news.
papers of the country seem to be labor
ing under the impression OF late that
there is little of consequence going on
anywhere in the world but the Europesn
war. A notable exception is 1.-THE Phil
sdelphia Record, whose editors pre-.
serve a just Tense of proportion in the
presentation of the news, as usual. The
war is getting all the attention 10 de.
serves in "The Record" In the shape OF
full and satisfying accounts from all the
foreign sources; but il is not allowed 10
~overshadow reports Of other events. at
no me and sbaord, in which well-bsI
anced news paper readers are interested.
Freedom from sepsationalisn has
served " The Philadelphia Record" well
in this var situation. 1t has not been
obliged to overtax its ingenuity Gas
have some other newspapers, which
had exhausted their typographical re-
sources in giving startling providence
to unimportant matters in times of
peace) to "play up" the wal news.
That School of journalism which spreads
a head in inch-high type across the page
to chronicle an automobile accident or a
dog-ight is hard put to it to find type
and space big enough for che news OF q
battle on tie outcome of which may
hang the destinies of half a dozen
nations. "The Record" isn't In that
school. 1t continues 10 fill the space
given over by some Of It's contempor.
aries to spread eagle heads with what
the readers want and pay for-accurate
and comprehensive news.
Record popularity is perhaps &C.
counted for by Record" versatilit y.
"The Philadelphia Z Record" covers
every phase Of human activity In its
varied departments, and stands In the
good graces of every member Of the
family. 1t is fair, clean, reliable, bright
and entertaining. 1t is a l~evel-headed
all-around newspaper for intelligent
people who want Trustworthy news of
all happenings worth reading about,
served In attractive form. adv.

A Political Ebb Tide

After every food tide there Is an ebb,
but after every ebb, either In war Oh
peaceful government, there has been
IN advancement In the political pro-
gress of the world.
The election Of Woodrow Wilson as
president and u Democratic Congress
two years ago by IN ~unprecedent plu-
rality thru she split In the Republican
party gave the Democrats an extraor-
binary majority in the Senate and
House of Representatives. Expecting
u big change in votes and representa-
ton President Wilson kept Congress III
session almost continuously to enact
laws desired because they could not be
passed by q small majority of Demo-
Gratis. With q Republican Congress to
| follow he could veto their repeal.
Many issues enter into the contests
In the State. A vote OH Congress was
a test of sustaining or disappearing the
administration. No one expected the
Democrats to retain a big majority i'll
| Congress. The fact that the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate has beer
increased from 10 to Is and the Demo-
crata retain control Of the House Of
Representatives by q majority OF be-
tween 20 and 30 is q sure endorsement
and assumes that the legislation by 8
Democratic Congress was not repudi-
dated ut the poles.
The legislation enacted has beer
progressive v 9 what the Republican
party gave. 1t receives criticism from
the Progressive party advocates be-
cause 1t is not radical as some desire.
The Democratic party is not demon
olixed as Ia 1894 under Presiden
Cleveland. There has been no panic
as many expected. There has been
depression In some lines OF business
The same has been In other countries
The farmers In the East have done fai
for q dry season. There has been al
extraordinarily large fruit crop. Th,
grain farms rs in the West never hat
such prosperity. Two years more tes
of Democratic laws enacted during tn
past eighteen months viii convince tn
people that they will not desire the new
currency law repealed. In fact, tn
Republicans make no criticism on it
There will not be another Dingley tar.
If law enacted. nor a Payne-AldrlcI
tariff. The income tax will never b
repealed. Continued progress will b
made in laws to control corporation
and regulate commerce.
The increased Republican represen
tation can only adopt a policy G
watchful waiting. The great industri
al progress which will be made in thi
country In the next two years wi
give little cause for their hopes to b
realized.
