THE TAFFY PULL.

| Did amy of my little readers ey.
or go to taffypull? They pulled
the taffy until it became beautiful
ly white. Then formed it into all
sorts of grotesque shapes, each try
ing to Guido the others. Animals
birds and even people were repre-
scented in taffy and then eaten The
forest rang with the shouts and
laughter and the wild animals slunl
into their hiding places not even
venturing to the spring for their
customary drink.
The fire had begn raked out from
under the big kettle where the SUI
gar was boiling and as the mass
cooled Mr.. Lawrence stirred it to
make it grain. He called to them to
come and get some while it was
warm, and again there was scamp
ering with their dishes, each try
ing to get to the kettle first. The
warm sugar, still in liquid state
was dipped out, each receiving a
generous helping. 1t was even
more delicious than the tatffy, but
the children coudl not eat much of
the sugar after eating SO much of
the taffy.
II wish l could eat more, but l
can't" said Tommy Snyder looking
ruefully at his plate which was still
half filled with the warm sugar.
Take it home with you, Tommy
and eat it tomorrow" said Ray.
when it gets cold it'n be hard
and won't stick to things SO you
can take it without much trouble
"All right" said Tommy land can
mother take hers too? She can't
eat it,"
Yes of course.
So those who could not eat all
which had been given them tucked
it away in their baskets
1t was after midnight when the
visitors took their leave, after a
most delightful evening at the SUI
gar camp. The chill air had frozen
the water and mud after the sun
went down and the roads were in
better condition than when they cam
The night was still and the campers
could hear the sound of their wa
CONS for long time.
Fred and Nellie were very sleepy
and Nan tucked them into bed
where they were soon sleeping Ray
and Chris were to stay up and keep
the pans of sap boiling and the rest
went to the shanty to get as much
rest as possible before work begun

i THE BIRDS

On bitter mornings gray.
If birds could talk, think / know
Just what they wish to say:
"Oh let us have some breakfast.
please,
Why need you sleep SO late?
We are so hungry and so cold
1t is SO long to wait,
When we get up at six O'Clock,
And you get up at eight.
Beneath your blankets, soft and
warm,
How peacefully you browse;
While we are in THE bitter wind
And perched on icy boughs.
The evergreens are stiff with frost,
And snow is everywhere.
We've chirped and begged about
the doors
But no one fed us there.
1t is SO little that we ask,
The crumbs that you can spare.
Poor birds, that wait SO anxiously
For fear l may not heed,
Ill not forget this bitter morn
The crumbs you so much need.
I'll brush the snow from off the roof
Beneath my window-sill
And scatter bits of cake and bread;
You all shall have your fill.

THE QUESTION OF TOLLS.

The question whether American
ships engaged in trade along the
American coast should pay toll for
passage through the Panama Canal has
boon the scource of much acrimonious
debate in the House Of Representa-
tives during the past few days, and
President Wilson has been scored in
no uncertain tones by many Of the
great leaders of his party including
Speaker Clark and House leader I'm
derwood, who assert that in asking :or
the repeal of the present free toll law,
that President Wilson and those with
him are repudiating plank in the
democratic platform, which favored
free passage Of our ships through the
canal. that the money of our people
built, and which, further led many
thousands of persons who believe that
that was the right policy to pursue so
as to build up our commercial carrying
trade, to vote the Democratic ticket.
In denounciug the change of views
of President Wilson a democratic
Senator said nj agree with Mr.. Bryan
that a man who would win office on
platform and then violate it after get
ting into office Is an embezzler OF
power, and guilty of crime of as
great moral turpituds as a soldier who
would betray his country in time OF
war;.
Another distinguished United States
Senator said in reference to this
change of front, for alleged diplomatic
and patriotic reasons, said, 81 am una
ware of any nation that has made
protest against the present free toll
law except Great Britain, / feel con
lident that the American people will
never be willing 20 surrender a princi-
pie at the behest of any other nation
on earth that lies at the very founda-
ton of our goyernment--tha of CON
trolling our own property snd our own
affairs in our own way. If the result
Of this contest shall be against that
view | venture the prediction that
some way will be found later on to
remedy the mistake which we are ask
ed 10 commit"
