One Saturday Margaret, aged four,

visit Mrs. Gilbert. her favorite neigh
Dor. and was now paying for her
crimes by detention in the house.
At her father returned and sat on
the porch reading his evening paper.
To him in a few minutes Margaret
sauntered out, her mind intent on car
rying out her plans, and shortly sug-
gested:
Daddy, let's play you are the baby,
and am the mother"
Daddy agreed on condition that 1t
must be n very little baby and one
that would not be expected to move.
Thereupon Margaret, after silence
in which one could hear her brain cur

Motor Driving In Germany.

It is an astonishing fact that blind
man may drive motOrcar in the Unit
ed Kingdom. Any one who has a driv
ing license. which can be obtained on
the payment of 5 shillings without any
test uf qualification. is entitled to drive
car whether he is able to do SO or
not
The German method is in strong con-
trast to that of England. If German
wishes to drive mOtorcar he must
first take out one months tuition Ii
cense, which permits him to learn to
drive. At the end of the month he is
taken into the heart of a large city
and. with an official by his side, is
made to drive in and out of the traf-
fic.,
One little slip. slight hesitation in
slowing up, and back he is put for an
other month of tuition. There are
many cases in which even three
months tuition is insisted on, and
there are others in which licenses are
refused altogether The result of this
is that the accident percentage in Ber-
lin is only half that of London.-Man-
chester News.

OUR SINGING SOLDIERS

The officers Of the army and the
navy may have been cured by the
dose that was given them after the
Cardiac dinner last winter. At any
rate, there has been no more damning
cf the Fillipinos in public. But the eli
listed men are not so easy TO reach,
1t would seem At Vera Cruz they
are singing some pretty wierd ditties,
having reference to all sorts and CON
ditions of Mexicans, Constitutional
lists as well as Huertans, and they
do not stand much upon the order OF
their verses and nothing upon thi
tenor OF their sentiments. Well, the
MeXicans are in the field opposite
their lines and, since no bullets may
be sent against them during the pro
gress Of mediation at Niagara Falls,
few stanzas are not to be prohibit
ed But what about this back fire:
"Josephus Daniels is a goose,
II he thinks he can induce
Fighters to drink his damn grape
juice"
After all the European junkets that
have been provided and the nice
schools that have been instituted
aboard ship and the speeches that
have been made in glorihcation and
the orders issued commemorative the
mllantry of the men of the service,
is this a generous recompense? And
1t isn't Josephus' grape juice at all
that has been prescribed.
VIII there be any grand mastering
cut of the bluejackets for these ribal-
dries? or viii the Mexican adventure
be called off entirely because of the
rebellious spirit shown by the men
sent to teach Huerta a lesson and
put Carranza inthe Presidential
chair?

that they desire neither assistance

nevertheless, will continue to labor
with the medators to find some way
to bring Carranza into the mediation

Carranza is to persist in his attitude
because he and all his supporters in
