AN HONORABLE
BURGLAR
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1914. by Associated Lit
erary Press.

Mr.. Glenshaw should have taken the
shore cottage. but he missed it. He
should have taken the train an hour
later. but Il business matter detained
him. The last train down was at 8
O'Clock He was waiting for it when
he encountered a neighbor, who said:
IF | We're you I'd run up and take
Il look through the house. Three of
within u week
Mr.. Glenshaw decided to go. He
would see that the house was all right
and then go to Il hotel for the night.
He walked up the steps as carelessly
as if the house had been open, un-
locked the door and lighted the hall
gas. and the first thing he saw was an
open window. The next was man
who stood in careless attitude beside
the writing desk with a revolver in his
hand. He was not a.--bad or rough
looking man. He had lately been cie;;n
shaved, and a fashionable hat helped
him to look like gentleman. If he
had been taken by surprise he didn't
betray the fact. There was Il half
smile on his face as he looked steadily
1T Mr.. GlenSllaw. and his voice was
soft and pleasant as he finally said:
Lets sit down. please. We will
have to consult together, and hope
| TO find you Il reasonable. sensible man.

and chat with YOU on even terms. You
| don't look like Il man who'd do any

WILSON is THE LEADER!

There can be noquestion of the
Presidents leadership of his party af-
ter the vote on the canal tolls que y
ton in the House OF Representatives
on Tuesday With the leaders OF the
party in the House arrayed against
the proposition to repeal measure
which carried out demand OF the
Democratic platform, the President $
recommendation of a reversal OF the
party's position was endorsed by more
than four-fifths of the Democratic
members. Two hundred and twenty
of the two hundred and seventy-two
Democrats in the House voted to re-
peal the exemption clause OF the ca
nal act. The Democratic vote for the
repeal would have sufiiced to carry
the measure against all opposition, al,
though twenty-seven votes from Re
publican and Progressive sources
helped to swell the majority by which
the repeal was carried. !, Il w.
1t was a very fine expression of he
popular confidence in the President
and a convincing demonstration of his
hold upon the party which his election
brought into control of the govern
ment
The merits of the tolls exemption
proposition of itself have almost been
lost to sight in the other phases that
have been developed by this contro-
Iycrsy. The President has not insist.
cd very strongly upon the absolute
desiiability of an equality of treat
ment to all shipping passing through
the canal, nor has he laid the greatest
stress uron the obligation of the Uni
ted states to keep its faith as set
/ forth in the Hay -Pauncefott treaty

gency of foreign relations, principal

A BRITISH FEDERATION.

Sir Edward Grey is shooting very
close to the mark when he suggests
as a solution Of the home rule prob
lem in the United Kingdom that a
federated government be Instituted
for the British Isles. The setting up
of parliament in Ireland, while Scot
land and Wales remain under imper-
ial rule has always seemed an anoma-
lous sort Of thing, as a political de-
vice. OF course, IL is easily answer
ed that the Irish alone are demanding
"a parliament Of their own, as they
aaye been doing ever since they we're
deprived of such an institution in
the early years OF the Nineteenth cen
fury. But, it might be said, the ex-
ceptional desire of ireland for a local
parliament is of itself an anomaly
and so 1t Is. II the British govern
mcnt had ruled ireland intelligently,
there would be little trace left of the
desire for an Irish parliament. That
such desire persists fercely and
compellingIy is a crying condemna-
tion of British craftsmanship. But
1t is there, and it is not to be denied.
It could easily be satisfied, however,
by a federation plan OF government,
and, at the same time, Ulster could
be satisfied. The British Isles could
be defined in political units, with 10
cal parliaments, each sending repre-
sentatiyes to the imperial parliament,
and Ulster could be made one of such
units, and the rest Of ireland another,
with Wales and Scotland and Eng.
land, or defined sections of them, con
stItuting other political Units. Such
a plan would have some reason and
wisdom, and II would or should salts
fly all local cravings.

This plan makes a pint Of cough
syrup--enough 20 last a family long
time. You couldn't buy as much OF as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost in
slant relief and usually conquers an
ordinary c0ugh in "a hours. This is
partly due to the fact that it is slightly
laxative, stimulates the appetite and
has an excellent tonic effect. It IS
pleasant to take-children like it. An
excellent remedy, too, for whooping
cough, spasmodic Group and bronchial
asthma.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
u pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21s ounces of Pinex fifty

the Sugar Syrup 1t keeps perfectly.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pine is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in glIaiacOl and
other natural healing clements. Other
preparations will not work in this
combination.
The prompt results from this mixture
have endeared it to thousands of house
