WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SOCIETY
on to school.


Father is 'patting his shoulder
And lifting his grip;
Proud OF him as he grows older,
(But biting his lip.0
Aunty improving his going
By giving advice.
And mother her tears overfiowing,
And wiping her eyes.
Father pretending to Joke him
While saying goodbye:
Sister seems trying to choke him
While fixing his tie:
Uncle is chatting and winking,
Disgusting his sighs.
While mother is standing and think
And vi wiptifs her eyes.
Old chums are wishing successes :
And shaking his hand;
Girls with pink bows and white
!. dresses
Are hoping he'll land
Top O. tn heap in his classes
And mothers white handkerchief

While ,wiptng her eyes.
Towser's tail .wagging and shaking,
He must understand:
Little Tob-brother is taking
Him fast by the hand;
Standing on tip toe to kiss him
And wiping goodbyes.
And mother,-who knows how she'll
miss Him p
Just wiping her eyes.
Father is counseling to him

Boy. as we yesterday knew him,
But never again.

And then the goodbyes

Pie, the National Dish.

Three years ago pie-eating con.
test was held for the championship
Of New Jersey, relates the London
Chronicle. In the United States pie
is a national dish, and the variety
with which the competitors had to
struggle consisted of a layer of
pastry a quarter Of an inch thick,
spread with canned fruit, the average
weight being half pound. Accord.
ing to the report Of a local journal,
amid enthusiasm, thirty-five young
men, trained to the minute, entered
the contest for the championship.
The state record Of twenty-six pies in
half an hour fell during the battle.
Walter Tappin of Tilsomfield, N. j.,
was the winner. He managed to put
himself on the outside of twenty.
seven pies in the allotted time. For
this he received the championship

in most Christian spirit, and tries
to realize what the Christian priests
OF all nations, together with the
Christian monarchs, hitherto would
not or could not realize. By combin-
ing the workers of nations, Social
Democracy tries to effect federation
of nations in which every state en-
joys equal rights and in which the
peculiarities of the inner character
OF every nation may peacefully de-
velop"
The anti-socialist finds in these
principles attacks upon the state, So
ciety, the monarchy, the family, the
church, and is quick to denounce both
program and principles.
Leaders Able; Followers Devoted.
The Social Democratic party is re.
markable in the high personal char
acter and ability of it's leaders and in
the well-nigh blind devotion of the
followers. Almost exclusively a party
of workingmen, strongest in the in
dustrial centers, its leaders are men
from the ranks who, in many cases,
give their services without pay, sup.
porting themselves and their families
by daily toll in shop or factory.
The funeral in Switzerland of Aug
ust Bebel, long the leader Of the
party, took place few days ago. The
praises to Bebels intellect and char
acter were numerous even in the gov
eminent press. Before his portrait,
draped in crepe in the window of the
Vorwaerts newspaper office, was seen
veritable procession of German
worklngmen, reVerently pausing to
pay silent tribute. While Bebel was
alive the great German historian,
Professor Mommsen, had written:
Everybody in Germany knows that
with brains like those of Bebel it
would be possible to furnish forth a
dozen noblemen from east of the Elbe

CAT AND RAT EQUAL PESTS
Former Especially Have wrought
Havoc Among the Smaller Native
Animals Of Australia.

In the Monte Bello islands domestic
cats have most unfortunately Deen III
troduced, which do much damage
amongst the Wallabies, and nave ex-
terminated the bandicoot Inc cats
thrive exceedingly wherever they are
introduced, growing to great size.
They soon become wild and cunning,
and breed fast. 1t may be safely said
that these animals are doing more
damage than anything else to the ma
tive fauna of the Australian region;
indeed, the same remarks apply to
the greater part Of the world. Cats
are carried almost universally on
small trading ships, with the idea that
they keep down rats. When they be-
come too numerous or otherwise OBJ
iectionable, they are simply marooned,
for to kill a cat is considered among
the sailors as most unlucky.
The black rat is another introduced
species which does great harm. The
animal is found universally over the
Monte Bello group, even on the small
outlying islets, which are never Wis
tied, on which it occurs most abun-
dainty It's presence is attributed to
a schooner which was wrecked soma
twelve years ago, for it is well known
that this rat is good swimmer. 1t
is curious to find that this animal,
which is now SO rare in its native
countries as to be looked upon as a
great curiosity, should usually be one
of the first species to populate new
lands where it is comparatively free
from competition. Driven from all civ
ilized countries by the brown rat, it
has taken to the sea, being better
adapted for life on board ship than
its otherwise victorious rival-P. D.

Big Money.

We have spoken of small coins, but
what of large ones? The record both
for size and value, must surely be
held by one described by Roger
Ascham. 1t was specially made as
gift from the inhabitants of Tyrol
to the Emperor Macmillan, and was
Of the size of a great Suffolk cheese
and as heavy as two men could bear.
Over 5000 guilders (about $1,000
English) had gone to the making of
it, and it was duly stamped with the
arms Of the emperor, and on the other
side with his wife's face most lively
printed" This, however, was freak.
The largest coin ever in circulation
was probably the old English e5
piece.-London Chronicle.

APT DESCRIPTION OF FLATS
Somewhat Mystlfying to the Stranger
in New York, but Are Entirely
Appropriate.

Some Of the terms used to describe
apartments are mystifying to the I'm.
initiated, declares the New York Sun.
For instance, railroad fiat" conveys
little idea to the novice until it is ex-
planned that this special type of apart
ment has no private hall. The back
door and the front door both open
into the public hall, and the rooms
follow one after the other, like cars
on railroad train, which accounts
for the expression railroad fiat.
A "box fiat" is one degree up the
scale, for here, while there is no en-
tire length of private hall, there is a
sufficient slice taken from the bed.
rooms so that one may walk from the
parlor to the dining room without
crossing the two intermediate bed
rooms. The tiny hall Is boxed in,
sheAca, the name box fat. ..... y
A walk up" speaks for itself and
is easily translated into non-elevator
fiat. As matter of fact, many of the
most desirable of the older apartment
houses come under the head of walk
ups"
A push the button" is still another
type which, may apply to any of the
others. It is never misleading, as it
graphically describes it's mode of en-.

All these fine points of distinction
can be cleaned from a days apart.

Declares for Love Marriages.
Marriage, in contradiction to religi-
Gus teachings, is in innumerable
cases a financial transaction pure
and simple. Woman has value in the
eyes of man only when she has a
fortune and the more money she has
the higher rises her value. Therefore
marriage has become business, and
thousands meet in the marriage mar
ket, for instance, by advertisements
in newspapers, in which husband
or a wife is sought in the same way
in which house or a pig is offered
for sale. Consequently unhappy mar
riages have never been more numer-
Gus than at the present time, state
of affairs which is in contradiction to
the real nature Of marriage. Social
Democracy desires that marriages be
concluded solely from mutual love and
esteem, which is only possible if man
and woman are free and independent,
if each has free existence and an
individual personality, and is there
fore not compelled to buy the other
or to be bought. This state of free
dom and equality is only possible in
the socialistic society.

Wants Brotherhood Of Nations.
The God of Christians is not a

and peace and therefore it borders
upon blasphemy that the priests OF
different Christian nations invoke this
God of love to give victory to their ma
ton in the general slaughter, 1t is
equally blasphemous if the priest OF
one nation prays the God of all ma.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 9.-The off cials of the United Mine Workers, who have been considering the ad- visibility of calling out the 500,0OO members of the union in sympa- thetic strike to aid the Colorado strik- ing coal miners, announced today that no strike would be called but that the miners would be aided through contributions from those who were working.
 The union off ials assert that they will keep the miners in Colorado in funds and will see that they secure strike benefits for ten years if it is necessary to fight that long to bring the operators to time and force them to pay living wages and prohibit the company store system, which has been in vogue in Colorado and by which means the miners are Kept in debt from month to month.

SEATTLE, May 9.-The govern msnt investigation into the cause for the grounding of the steamer Dirigo in Useless bay last Sunday night has been postponed because of the sud den disappearance of Captain Flynn, who was in command of the vessel when she struck and who was found upon investigation to have been hopelessly drunk when the boat left Seattle and con -inued so until after she was on the beach.
 Captain Flynn was immediately dis charged by the officials of the steamship company when they com- pleted their investigation of the wreck and the company is insisting upon proper punishment for the captain. who thought so little of the lives entrusted to his care that he would leave the quartermaster in charge of the boat and proceed to get gloriously drunk.
 Several other officials will also be dismissed if it can be proven that they knew of the condition of Cap tain Flynn when he started out with the ship and failed to report it to the port captain.
 The boat was pulled off and is now en route to Seward little the worse for her trip ashore.

 The work done by Lieut. Mears in relocating the Panama railroad dur ing the construction of the canal, his previous experience as a railroad en- gineer before his enlistment in the army, caused Colonel Goethals to recommend him for service in Alas ka, and the president was determined to secure the repeal of the Wicker sham joker which provided that on ly engineer army and navy officers could be detailed. .-,..
