"For invitation cards they used daisies. To each guest they sent one

'1n a day or % after the invitations were sent the replies began to come
in, and it vas with great excitement that the elves watched for them, and, to
their huge delight every daisy vas sent back with just the one petal of.
promptly yesterday afternoon at 8 oil the brownies arrived.
"The first thing they noticed was a large circle made II daisies and vines,
in the center of which stood a elf dressed up IS a daisy.
"What does that meanr asked the brownies.
"That little elf is the master of ceremonies replied the other elves.
"Master Of ceremoniesT the brownies repeated. What does that meanT

"And almost before the elves had finished talking the little daisy elf blew
loudly upon a long bugle and then shouted:
"The potato race comes first!
At that all the elves rushed for a basket Of potatoes, divided them around,
and every n started to ace carrying one potato 1T a time O a spoon until

Who Is to Blame

saltwater Prison Mirror: The Du-
luth Herald printed a news item the
other day that should set the world
to thinking. 1t tells Of a woman being
convicted for stealing. and sentenced
for the eighth time to serve a term
in the state prison. The woman Is SO
years old, and what is commonly
known as a confirmed criminal.
Let us see what made her q criminal
Who Is responsible for her abnormal
nature-if she Is abnormal?
When this woma was 10 years old
she was arrested for stealing sorne
trinkets from a store. The judge sem
fenced her then to a reformatory; and
she became known to the world as
the Child convict" Thrown thus
among older criminals, this little To-
year-old girl grew up amid environ
ments that have made bad men and
women Of many who might otherwise
have been saved. In the reforn1atory
she learned new tricks of h trade,
she heard only the stories OF crime
and the boasttngs Of clever thieves;
her young mind was trained along q
path Of darkness; hate for right ana
society was ~engendered, instead OF
love for home and respect for h law.
Beautiful thoughts and childish fam
cies were transformed into htdeous dez
sires for revenge and general wrong
doing.
And what has been the RESULT
After being released from the re-
formatory. the child quite naturally
followed the trend of thought insttll~
ed into her mind there. She met an
other former inmate-one of the only
playmates she had yer had, and they
stole. Again she was sentenced. And
10 on goes the story. Every time she
was released she stole, and within an
increditably short period Of liberty.
was returned to prison; SO that of the
thirty six years which she lived, she
has spent twenty-six behind bars OF
steel.

THE WRONG BOTTLE.

according to the coroner of Cook
county, Illinois. 148 persons died in
Chicago last year from accidental
poisoning, the mistake in a large ma
5ority Of these cases being simply the
old error of getting the wrong" bot
tie. In the dark, or perhaps in day
light, without looking, they reached
for a bottle of cough medicine and
got carbolic acid, or grabbed for a
package of supposed throat tablets
and got bichloride of mercury. or did
some other equally foolish and fatal
thing.
So many fatalities of this SORT in
just one city indicates the grave SER
ioilsness of this danger. and the need
of some kind of a remedy. The Cook
county thinks the first pre-
cautionary step should be a state law
requiring all liquid poisons to be put
mp in distinctive bottles, and further
requiring poison tablets to be put up
In distinctive co1ors and odd shapes.

~oS OAAS
the president was running into the
question Of enate prerogativeS AND
might find many votes against him
which would otherwise be on his side
The senate has grumbled for years
about the division Of its prerogativeS
by presidents and in this case many
senators feel they have found an is
sue on which they can stand to-
gether.
Senator Lewis of Illinois is conduct
ing the fight for the confirmation of
Jones. 1t was understood that he
counts upon a majority Of 2 to put
the nomination through but it is con
coded by half a dozen senators there
might be delay in confirmation for
many weeks If not defeated entirely. A
real campaign to put the Jones nomin-
alton on might cause the senate to
abandon it's work on antitrust legis-
lation and keep in executive session
most of the time.
Opposition to Mr.. Jones was based
upon the fact that he is a director Of
the International Harvester Co., sued
by the government as a combination in
restraint of trade and illegal under the
Sherman antitrust act. Senators Lee
of Maryland, Hollis, Pomerne and
Shafroth, all democrats, voted to make
a favorable report on this nomination
while Senators Hitchcock and Reed,
democrats and BristoW, Nelson, Craw-
ford, Weeks and Mclean, republicans,
voted for an unfaVorable report.
The vote came after a long discus
sion Of the testimony given by Mr..
Jones when he appeared before the
committee early in the week. There was
little criticism Of Mr.. Jones other than
1 tl-4 - 49,
tional Harvester Co. but several mem
bers are said to have declared they
could not conscientiously approve a
man connected with a concern being
prosecuted. Stress was laid on the
fact that some of the acts Of the
Harvester Co. complained of in the
governments bill asking for its dis
solution were committed since April,
1909, when Mr.. Jones became a direc-
tor.
Objection to Mr.. Warburg so far
is based upon an entirely different
reason. The committee has asked him
to appear and submit to questions
about his business connections. He
has refused and the question as view
ed by the senate is whether it should
confirm n man who will not accept
such an invitation.
The first test of strength on the
Warburg nomination may come Mon
day when a resolution will be reported
from he nj rules committee in
creasing the membership of the bank
Ing committee. This resolution did
not receive the approval of the rules
committee, but will be brought to the
floor anyhow and its appearance may
lead to debate which will disclose
some Of the feeling in the senate tow
ards the nomination.
The president made it clear that he
did not take the same view Of Mr..
Jones testimony before the banking
committee as some of it's members
took.

From The New York Sun: Mrs

ment house. On the way down to the
| ground floor the green elevator boy
reversed the lever by accident and the
| sensation was startling. Mrs. Preston
smiled at the fright OF the elevator
boy.
On the way out one of the employees
who was cleaning the entrance hall

that of a young cannon when it struck

"Too bad, Tony; they'll probably

AS she made her way downtown she

Automatic riveters made the air hid

friend pitched their voices a little

Later as she passed beneath the ele
waited structure one of the trains thun-
dering, grooming, shrieking around the
curve made a short circuit, whereupon
vivid blue flashes filled the air and
loud reports brought crowds. Mrs.
Preston watched it with interest for a
few moments and then passed on.
AS she was crossing a street she
stepped back out of the way Of an

asked. The policeman did not know.
Just as she was entering a depart

The hour vas late and she took a

Mediums of Prosperity.

Christian Science Monitor: Few
facts in connection with advertising
stand out as clearly as the contempor-
airy demand Of the advertiser that ne
get what he pays for. The machinery
for probing, auditing and publishing
facts about periodical calculations,
whether alleged or real, increases each
year in complexity Of detail and vigor
Of application. The say So period is
past. Wen who are to use mediums"
van Ito be shown" This being the
trend. some of it's b~y-products are in
teresting. For one thing, it has re-
stored the daily newspaper to pre-
eminence and recognized worth as a
bringer Of business to persons, insti-
tutions or corporations seeking buyers
Of their goods, properties or service.
Confirmation of this estimate has been
made to the national electric light and
power convention by a special commit
tree of investigation charged with the
duty Of bringing in a comparative rat
ing.
Reasons for the supremacy of the
daily paper are numerous. Suffice it
here and now to mention it's high
power Of iteration, one of the most in
fuential factors in all forms Of ad-
vocacy, commercial or otherwise. To
read any form of persuasive appeal
six or seven times a week. instead of
once a week or once a month, OBJ
Viously Is to subject oneself oftener
to the likelihood of taking particular
notice of the plea. Or, to put the
matter in quite another way, any per-
son wanting knowledge of what to buy
and where to buy it. be the commodity
what 1t may, is more likely to be
served with his desired information in
time to make it serviceable if he gets
his facts day by day rather than week
by week or month by month. Here, of
course, is where the daily paper serves
through its contemporaneousness. Add
this to the quality of iteration and it
makes a combination difficult to SUR
pass. A medium Of publicity that will
say oftenest for the advertiser to the
reader and buyer what the former
wishes the latter to know, and that
will soonest bring to the purchaser
any up-to-date information he may
wish to have. is in particular demand,
and statistics of recent years show
where the large advertisers a%ppropria-
lions are going.
Fortunately, this reaction in favor
OF the daily paper has come at the
time when it could make easier a
process of reformation of journalistic
advertising standards now well on it's
way through the United States and
Canada, a process which will receive
its final touches at the coming Toron-
to convention of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of America. The coin
cidence with rising ethical demands
from the public and from advertising
specialists has had a wholesome eff

States during the last few years.

REWARDS OF ADVENTURINc

THE Hudson's Bay company, the III.

declared a modest dividend for the
year OF 40 per cent. Last year the
{ rate was so per cent. Either may be
considered fair return on the good
British pounds invested in the ancient
and honorable business of "adventur-
'1ng" into d corners Of the earth"

- Charles II. in 1870 chartered the
,Hudson's Bay company at the solicita-
ton Of "adventurers'' headed by Prince
Rupert. whose fame and name will be
continued long after the company he
headed has passed into history by the
thriving port on the Pacific lately con-
fnected with h East by the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway company's new

King Charles chartered had the sole
right to trade with the wild tribes

greatest mercantile concerns in the
world, and last year it's profits from
its chain of stores between Hudson's
