Burglar Bill told his story in frag-

and he was left alone.

unused gratefully What comfort

well fed and content, he snuggled
down in his chair by the warm,
CHEEKY kitchen fire.
He noted drowsily that the house
keeper passed through the Kitchen.
He saw her return with an axe, and
wondered. He reused up in a strange
amaze as soon thereafter there
sounded from the upper part of the
house a vast thudding, crashing
noise. 1t was as if that axe was be-
ing used to batter something to
pieces.
Mrs. Warden came down into the
kitchen looking f1ustered and breath
less, as though she had been under
going some very forcible exercise.
She came straight up to Bill and
looked him earnestly in the face.
'eYou said you were burglar"
she began.

FROM MONTE CARLO.

Glenn H. Curtiss, the aviator, was
walking on the sun-drenched terrace
before the Casino of Monte Carlo,
says the st. Louis Glabe Democrat.
On the right the blue sea shimmered.
On the left the huge Casino gardens
filled the air with glitter and per-
fume, great ocean-going yachts rode
III the harbor, and in the luminous air
monoplanes and hyiroplanes swoop-
ed and darted.
And to think said Curtiss, "that
all this shining beauty derives from
roulette! To think the banks gains
give us all this!
THE epitome of Monte Carlo lies
in the glowing cablegram New York
er sent to his wife. After praising the
delights of Monte Carlo, the New
Yorker ended his cablegram with
these words:
Won much, lost more"

NATURES MESSAGE.

You are tired, you are weary.
You are longing for the wild,
'Tis the voice of Nature calling,
Calling back her erring child.
Go far up into the redwoods,
Every form of Life is there,
1t is teeming all about you,
In the water, in the air.
Natures voice of Life Is singing,
In the splashing of the fall,
In the hum of myriad insects,
In the wild birds mating call.
Natures heart with Life is throbbing.
'Tis heart that knows not rest,
Every verdant thing that groweth,
Hath life upon her breast.
Are you tired, are you weary,
Are you longing for the wild?
Tarry not. oh. foolish mortal.
You are Mother Natures child.
She'll not chide you, gentle mother
She will teach you how to live,
Go back then and be forgiven.
She alone hath Life to give.

Furthermore directly contradicted by
the time honored opposition of the
democratic party to subsidies and to
anything smacking of special privi-

The Atlanta Constitution comment

that offends decency by prostitutins

"A direct subsidy. labelled and un-

one advantage. 1t would save the
national honor by preventing us from
violating sacred treaty obligations. II
would put civilization on notice that
the United States is in the subsidy

"Since they cite England as an ex-

Suez canal tolls, or any other stalk

THAT is the direct course.
"Why don't the subsidy advocates
in this country do the same thing?
Because they know that the min

1t is up to the senate to challenge

They stand for privilege not for prin-
