Jack giggled. but daddy hushed him up and hurriedly continued his story.
"She had padded all day o. her great green lily pad boat playing with the

her golden head at the great sparkling u away up in the blue sky and frt

and it was a great day for the white water lily.
"Then a man and a girl came padding by her lily pad boat and began to

THE NEW

E The great 16-inCh gun, the biggest
piece of ordnance in the world, has
just been shipped from Sandy Hook
to Panama, where it will be placed
near the Pacific end Of the canal. The
monster weapon now on it's way to the
isthmus furnishes one reason why
there need be no particular a]pprehen-
sion that any enemy's ships will en-
gage the canal forts, even If the sailing
masters have copies of the Stolen pic
lures to guide them to the attack.
81 Col. Edwin B. Babbitt of the ord
nance corps of the United States Army
has charge of the testing of the big
gun. Colonel Rabbit is one of the ex-
perts Of the service. He knows the
~"Peacemaker" and what it IAN d..
that, like another "~Peacemaker" OF
many years ago, this gun will do more
Injury at the breech than, at the mug
zle. 1t is a good piece Of ordnance bulls
and tested on honor.
What ship will care to get within
range of this monster which hurls
projectile weighing a ton to a distance
of twenty five miles? The velocity Of
the shot is $50 feet per second, which
gives a muzzle energy of something
more than $4,000 foot-tons-that is, al
energy capable or raising forty-twc
tons one foot every second. Big as thu
"Peacemaker" is. it is easily manipu.

Joel Barlow

Joel Barlow, American poet, author
and diplomat. was born at Reeding,
Conn, in 1854. He graduated from
Yale university in 1888.
He was a chaplain in the RevoIu-
tionary army, was later admitted to
the bar at Hartford, Conn, published
a paper there and was recognized as
n of the Hartford wits"
In 1887 he wrote The Vision of
Columbus, which was the first effort
to attract the notice of the general
public to his pen. The following year,
1888, he went to France where he
spent three years as an agent Of a land
company. While there he entered
French politics as a Girondist.
The next year, 1892, he went to Eng
LAM in the employ of the same con
Germ. At the same time appeared his
second literary work, entitled The Con-
spiracy of Kings.
He was not in England long until
he took an active part in English poll
tics. His activities there proved dis
tasteful to the British government and
he was obliged to return to France.
On his return to French soil he
wrote his most popular poem, entitled
Hasty Pudding. Unpopular with the
English, he was equally popular with
the French, who at once rendered him
the rights Of citizenship. He did not

Dogs and Dog Days.

st. Paul Dispatch: AS a matter of
information and in no way connected
with the fact that We are approaching
the ~so-called dog days." the state
ment is made that in st. Paul seventy
eight dog licenses have been taken out
n there are some 1900 or perhaps
$4,000 dogs in the city. But let that
be as it may, there need be no con-
cern-at least no undue concern
when the end Of the week brings the
period when the dog star is at the
midday zenith and the danger Of, rab-
bies is supposed to be at its height.
1t may tighten apprehension in quar-
tiers Of timidity to state that rabies
are more prevalent in winter than in
August, though running directly
against the tradition. The Romans
called the August period "dogdays'-
dies canis-but the reference was en-
tirely to sidereal and not terrestrial
dogs and the popular belief that the
torrid weather of August, as against
other seasons, superinduces hydro
phobia is wholly erroneous.
The point we would make is that the
foolish dread Of August rabies must
not induce people to refuse drink to
suffering dogs in the fear that water
will foster the rabies. The terrible

brought on by neglect and suffering
and may be averted by care and at
tention.
In the care of stray animals lies the
control Of rabies. If, of the undoubt-
eddy large canine population of st.
Paul only seventy-eight may be class
ed as cared for to the extent Of licens-
ing and the myriad others as strays,
the question of guarding against
disease may become of passing i'm
p~ortance. g..

In 1898, during his earlier years with

LADD WILL STAY.

For some time there have been
rumors that DR.. E. F. Ladd was to be
forced OUT at the agricultural COL
lege. There is undoubtedly some
ground for these rumors. The Forum
believes, however, that the people will
not allow such a calamity-for 1t
would be nothing short Of a calamity
for North Dakota to lose the services
Of this man
DR.. Laid has made some powerful
enemies. The Forum, in another part
of the paper tonight, tells why.
1t is said that there are political
moves now under way to bring about
the retirement of DR.. Laid. Those
who are active in this direction are
brave men indeed. This proposition
is loaded to the muzzle and there is
liable to be an explosion that will
shake this state of North Dakota from
center to circumference.

n WORLD PERIL.

Springfield Republican; Wal has
been staved off more than once in the
past few years, there is still a chance
that this crisis like the others may be
averted. Europe was saved two years
ago by sacrificing the Balkan states;
Servia may this time be the victim. To
keep a little war from spreading
that Is the object which strains the
energies Of statesmen to the utmost:
it explains why the action Of the pow
ers during the recent wars so often
appeared cynical and unsCrupulous. A
no less strenuous effort will be made
to limit the area if the u~ncompromis-
! ing attitude Of Austria should force a
war with Servia. The peril is possibly
no greater than it was a few black
day. when the Scutari question was
acute, but the peril then was closer
than is generally realized, and it was
not disposed of, but merely postponed.
And in tina deadly alignment of half
Europe against the other half lies the
real peril; it matters little what spark
fires the magazine. The present con
troversy, like that over Scutari, is pc
culiarly dangerous because it is in a
vital spot, at a point on that great ra-
cial frontier which is like the faults In
the earth's crust along which destruc-
tive earthquakes run. Between the
two great divisions Of the Slav race
stretches an alien intrusion Of Teutons
from the west and Magyars from Asia,
holding asunder, but with steadily in
creasing strain, the Russians and
Poles at the north and Serbs and
Greats at the south. Great as has been
the Teutonic and Magyar ascendency,
it is constantly being threatened by
the enormous and growing bull Of the
Slavic peoples, the most numerous and
the most prolific element in Europe.
Landlocked for ages, and backward
because of their geographical position,
these teem1ng myrfads of the hinter-
land are now pushing resolutely to the
sea, and an irrepressible conflict has
4 begun; whether 1t can be settled
peacefully history has yet to reveal,
but till 1t is settled, every moment
like this brings inevitable disquietude
like earth tremors to dwellers on the
slope of a volcano.
For if war should come, the general
war so often predicted, SO often avoid
ed at the very Ome when it seemed
inevitable, it would be such a huge
n hideous war as has never yet
shaken this old and blood-stained
planet. 1t would mean perhaps $1,000.
900 men fighting with deadly modern
arms along lines stretching for thous-
ands of miles, and great navies of
dreadnoughts going to smash like pip
kins. And as to how long it would
last or how far it would spread no
mar could guess; it might easily
throw Europe back into the melting
pot, erect new empires and new dyn-
asties, carve the continent more
bloodily and ruthlessly thar the Ma
poleonic wars. 1t is this very enor-
mousness Of the peril which is the
chief safeguard now.

anxious to be on my way. Will you
please let me pass?"

Inside a Harem,

TT was a patriarchal home, this first
harem into which l entered. It con-
sisted of the old hanoum, who was the
first wife, and head Of the women's
part Of the household. six other wives,
whom she called her sisters. several
married daughters, the wives Of some
of the sons, and two married grand
daughters. Among them there were
the mothers Of numerous babies-in-
deed, there were babies all over the
house: and since each lady had sever
al slaves there must have been at least
100 women and children.
"Djimlah happened to be the only
child Of her age, and all were sorry
for her, and said 80 constantly and
did their best to amuse her.
There vas little furniture in the
house, just rugs and hard sofas. and
small tables upon which were always
sorbets or sweets, and cushions of all
colors piled up on the rugs, where ba-
bies or grown-ups were always lying
slumbering. Various small musical In
struments were also among the cush-
ions, and at any time some person
would pick one of these up to play and
sing, so that most of the time. on the
floor, there were both people slumber-
ing, and people playing and singing.
And since the long, curtainless win
dows were latticed, and the upper part
entirely hidden by creeping vines,
growing from pots, the whole place
