THE UGLY CIRCLE

Smarter Kelly peered through the
bars into the prison cell in which sat,
sullen, defiant and nursing desperate
revenge, his only son.
"How is it, Jim? Cheer up, boy.
Two years don't last long,"
mo, it won't be long," agreed the
son. Don't worry about me-
Jim, | know you never pulled that
Job. Somebody's stuck the goods on
you an got you in queer"
The other looked up with slow in
quiry. What makes you think so?"
he asked.
Think SO! Weren't you always too
blamed honest to suit your dad? You'd
act tough an ugly, an rough house it
with the best of 'em; but never could
get you to be anything but honest.
Somebody's crooked this on to you, an
I'm going to find out who did It,"
His father leered at him through
half-closed eyes of infinite cunning.
BE waiting for me when l come
out" assented Jim, with more of
warmth and life than he had shown
before, land let me know who it Is. l
guess two years won't make me love
him more"
His father turned and passed into
the light of the free air, while the son
looked after him with a scowl Of
dreadful hate.

the Indian department as well as to
the deeply interested friends of these
wards of the state.
Alas! The pathos of the story, the
unhappy sequel, came when this bill
was vetoed by the governor on the
last day of the legislative session,
when it was too late to pass the bill
over the veto: thus leaving the Indians,
these distinctive F1oridian natives,
more helpless and more dependent
than ever before.
Work for the Future.
The work before the friends of this
helpless people is to secure from the
state of Florida a suitable tract OF
land in the Everglades, with a strong
law prohibiting others from hunting
or living on the tract-a region where
in peace, this aboriginal race can re-
adjust their mode of living and become
citizens. Christianized and civilized. So
today we must know that the future
of the Everglades Seminole lies in the
hands of the present just and humane
citizens of Florida This gentle and
kindly race must have an abiding
place-lands to be theirs forever.
While the life of the Florida Semi
mole has been turbulent one, and
they have ever been aliens to the joys
and delights of civilization, there is at
the present time an optimistic side for
their future, providing always that the
state of Florida will do her part and
make a grant of land for their use.
Their kindred in Oklahoma have never
forgotten this remnant and some have,
during the past few years. visited them
in their Glade homes. The Oklahoma
Seninoles are educated Christians and
stand ready to send teachers to their
brethren in Florida, and to help In
their uplift, both in industrial training
and along the lines Of missionary
work.
In review, and briefly, it is well to
state here that the Seminoles have
three powerful allies in the field of ac-
tion for the betterment of their condi-
tion. First, the Florida legislature
whose friendly action in 1913 is known
tn ali and is now a matter OF history.
Sacord the Federation of Women S
Clubs. which has championed the IN

tion of their stock? Such procedure
certainly is not in accord with the best

the subject by any one interested in
this great industry must force the
same conclusions. 1t. is poor business
policy and it is abe poorest economy.
We do not oelieve any grower can af-
ford so expensive a method of dispos-

the donation of his earnings to those
who neither need it or appreciate it.

 OI foreigners.

The regular meeting of the W. C. 5 o'clock in the Y. w. c. A. parlors. The program in charge of Miss Har- riett Bliss was interesting and irl- structive. Miss Bliss has had num- Der of years of personal experience with foreign speaking people, having for several years been in charge of class at the Y. M. c. A. and she said that during the past year thirty-f five men had been in her class, some have moved out of town, some returned to the land of their birth and twelve still remained when the term closed last week. ..,a. ..
 During the term Miss Bliss mo- ticed there was not the usual odor of beer and. tobacco and on one occa- sion asked how many of the men were abstainers. Eight of the ten men present, representing seven diff ferent nationalities, said they were total abstainers and did not use to- bacco. When questioned as to the reason, they replied they had found it did not pay. Tn an interesting man. ner Miss Bliss told of a supper re- gently given in the Y. M. c. A. when fags representing twenty-five differ cnt nationalities were used for dec- orations and where some, especially Armenians and Bohemionas, did not know their own flag. She also spoke of flag drill given in the South church Sunday school, where eleven boys and girls, representing eleven different nationalities taken from the Sunday school gave this drill each child holding in one hand an Armenian flag said we Are Americans"
 "There are $1.3000, 900 Italians of for eign birth in this country S0,000 in Connecticut and between 4,O0O and 5000 in New Britain. Ten years ago there were only twenty-three Per- sians in New Britain; two men kept house and all the rest boarded with them, yet today there are 500 Per- Sians most of them having comfort able homes. There are 5000 Per- sians in the United States. Few are Mohammcdans, few Roman Catho- lies, but most are Prostestants. Con- necticut has eight per cent foreign popula tion, and in the Congregation al churches alone there are 3,151 members, said Miss Bliss.
 "1 100000 immigrants come to our shores every year, 100000 return each year to their fatherland and many as the question, does it pay to do anything for them, and what Is the 1nessa ge we are sending back with them? The church has the making of them and it should have follow up methdd whereby it can enthuse a new patriotism in this new land. By kindness and courtesy we can help make them good citizens,'' she said. She told of ten Polish men from the Windsor Locks evening school that went to Springfield Inter- national school and all became Chris tians and at least one minister. IL

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
State Treasurer Roberts and Secrc- tary Wright Disagree Over CIerkship.

Hartford, April 1s.-There is A>dif- ference of opinion between State Treasurer E. $. Roberts and the civil service commission over the appoint ment of an assistant clerk in the treasurer's office to succeed Clifford s. Wightman. who has resigned. Treas urer Roberts says the position is in a measure confidential and he thinks he should have the power to appoint Mir. Wightman's successor and he has in fact already picked a man for the place. A conference was held be- tween the treasurer and members of the commission concerning the mat ter and the treasurer understood that he would be allowed to appoint.
 Secretary Wright of the conmis- sion takes the opposite view and says he knows of no such understanding. A list of eligibles has been submitted to the treasurer.

"GEN." COXEY ISSUES
 PROHIBITION ORDER
His Followers, Hereafter, Must Cut Out the Booze or Else Be Dis-

Louisville, O., April 1S.-Because members of the Fife corps of Coxeys army of the comm onweal traded their instruments for beer, became intoxi- cated, it was charged, and were jailed by the village marshal, General Jacob s. Coxey issued an edict against drinking as the army left here today on the third day of the march to Washington.
 II don't belong to the w. c. T. U., but from now on you've either got to cut out the booze or We don't want you along" was the substance of the leaders address to his troops" Were marching to Washington to teach the people a great moral les son, and you'll destroy all it's effect if you persist in getting drunk"
 Coxey was pleased as much by the prediction of a gypsy fortune teller met on the road, that he would live to be one hundred as by the increase in the number of his recruits to more than a score.

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
 WACED BY CA|LLAUx
f0Tn;r Premier Making Fight to
 Be Reelected in France.

Paris, April 1S.-The campaign of Joseph Caillaux, former premier and minister of finance, for reelection to the chamber of deputies Is attracting more attention than that of any other politician in France. The reasons for this are the recent assassination of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, by Mime. Caillaux and the alleged influence brought to bear by M. CaillauX to postpone the trial ot Henri Rochette on charges of exten- sive swind1ing operations.
 While Mime Caillaux awaits i'll Saint Lazare prison the opening of her trial for murder her husbands political friends are busy seeking the support of the voters in his constitu- ency of Manners, in the department of the Sarthe, which he has repre- sented in the chamber since 1893.
 Baron D'Estournelles De Constant is taking a leading part in M. Cail- 1aux's canvass. The efforts of the baron and other sponsors Of M. Caillaux have been so vigorous that the usually cold and cautious peasants of the district have been led on to regard M. Caillaux as the victim of reactionary plots in Paris and are in- clined to his support.
 The line of action taken in behalf of M. Caillaux Is that his adversaries have not hesitated to use any kind of means to ruin him. It Is stated that he is threatened every day with blackmail and that every morning he fears to open the newspapers lest he should find published some of his in- timate and private letters that were stolen.
 The adversaries of M. Caillaux a1- lege that the influence of the govern or is being used energetically in fav- or of the former premier.
 M. Caillaux himself is taking no part in the speechmaking. Moving pictures are being greatly used to at tract the voters and to illustrate the election eloquence.
