"AVE you ever noticed. while out
III walking IN the late autumn, how
the grasses are Overwoyen with a
network of sIlyery cobwebs?
Or perhaps you have gone out early
IN the morning and. bending low, have
observed the glitter and shine of a
thousand cobweb nets spread across
your lawn9
Do you know the fairy story OF how
and why they are there?
No? Then listen
Once upon a time thousand fairies
lived on fine wide meadow OF course,
they couldn't be seen-but wise people
knew they were there. for the grass in
the meadow grew so well and the dew
was so shining and clear. And when
the breezes played across the meadow
wise people could see the fairies, dane
ing and swaying in the grasses.
All summer they had lived there,
hiding down close 10 the roots in the
daytime, coming out at night TO dance
and frolic in the starlight, and hold
their gay fairy parties in the silvery
moonlight
Now these particular fairies had very
small wings and so couldn't fly very
far. That didn't matter AT all usually,
for there were 50 many nice things to
do in the meadow they didn't care 10
go Tar away. And these fairies didn't
eat the honey that most fairies live on
the honey from the hearts of flowers
For there were no flowers in the
meadow
So they lived on the clear, fresh
dew that the night time gave to the
meadow
And that was plenty for them until
the dry, dusty days OF autumn began.
Then the ground was dry and the
grass was so dry that il drank up every
bit Of dew before the fairies had even
q chance TO get it! And the fairies got
so hungry and so thirsty they could
hardly dance and sing any more.
At last they could stand It no longer.
I'm so huugry-I'm afraid ! can't
lance any more until have something

OUTFIELDER GEORGE BURNS
Justified, McGraw's Confidence Last
Year by His Timely Hitting and
Clever Fielding.

No ball player in either major
league has developed faster and none
has a brighter future before him than
Outfelder George Burns of the New
York Giants and his refusal to listen
to the siren song Of the Federals is
another testimonial to the fact that
young players of intelligence know
where their future lies, says the Sport
ing News. Burns came to the Giants
late in the season of 1911 from the
Utica team of the New York State
league. For his release $4,000 in cash
is said to have been paid. Following
McGraw's method he was allowed to
absorb baseball on the bench in 1912,
being used in only 29 games, but his
advancement was SO rapid that when
the 1913 season opened he was as
signed a regular berth and McGraw
revised his outfeld almost entirely to
make place for him. Burns justified
the confidence placed in him. He
played in $50 games, hit for .286, stole

Milan, ItaY-Is more democracy
the cure for democracy?
Certainly the trend in European
countries is toward the trial OF the
prescription. The demand for an ex-
tension of the suffrage is confined to
no nation, but may be heard from
Great Britain to Greece, from big Rus
STA. where the desire is for a duma
chosen by a genuinely popular vote,
to little Portugal, where the slight
semblance of a republic socks to- hold
power by permitting all men to vote
who vote the ticket of the republic.
Italy Gets Manhood Suffrage.
In Italy, where this letter is writ
ten, the most colossal experiment in
the extension of the suffrage is, hay
ing its first trial. The electoral law,
passed by the late chamber of depu-
ties, raises the number of voters in
Italy from 3,319,20O to 8,762,250, an
increase of more than five million.
Under the new law Italy has prac-
ticaIly manhood suffrage for the entire
nation. All males thirty years of age
and over, and all males twenty years
of age and under thirty who can read
and write, or who have performed
military service, are permitted to vote.
Illiteracy and non-performance Of mill
tary duty alone exclude from suffrage
and these only where the age of the
prospective voter is under thirty
years. 1t is an experiment, which,
though paralleling it in some degree,
far Burpasses even the war measure,
which thrust unprepared the colored
men of the United States into poll
tics, The questions as to the extent
to which the Italians heretofore ex-
Guided will avail themselves of the
new privileges and the manner in
which they will exercise their right
Of choice. can not now be answered
with any degree of accuracy. The in

call bosses in America. These men
will, to greater or less extent, con-
troll elections for several years. This,
however, will not continue for gradu-
ally, indeed swiftly in northern Italy,
the masses will learn to appreciate
their own power and will support men
and measures of genuine value to the
nation. Tomorrow Italy will be not
only freer politically, but stronger ag-
riculturally, industrially and CONNER
cially for universal suffrage. But this
will take time
Socialist Demands Moderate.
Two elements enter into consid-
ing which prophecy is vain, the So
cialists and the Ciericals. The Italian
Socialist, led by Ell Secolo, the Milan
journal, is in the main more moderate
in his aims than the members of po-
litical parties bearing the same name
in the countries of northern Europe.
The reduction or abolition of the corn
duty and the transfer of the burden
of taxation to inheritances and in
comes are among the chief planks in
his platform. With increased power
he may demand more, as indeed now
do the few extreme Radical Socialists.
Clerical Party Develops; King
Democratic.
The other element which is big with
significance in Italy's future is the
Clerical party. Gradually, in an cleo
ton constituency here and there, the
doctrine of mon expedit," enunciated
by the great Pope Leo XIII, has been
tacitly abandoned and party formed
which is devoted first of all to the
interests of the Catholic church. Clio
litti has been able to hold together
in coalition two groups so widely diff
fering in views as the Clericals and
Socialists. To one he promised that
no law should be enacted permitting
divorce and that religious instruction
in the schools should continue; to the
other he promised certain social re-
form legislation. Should either ele-
ment gain sufficient power by the COM
ing of universal suffrage or otherwise,
the coalition will fall to pieces and
the conflict for dominance will come
