Vacation Philosophy.
From the indianapolis News.
Do not spend more money than you
can readily afford to spend. No bene-
fit accrues from. trying to squeeze a
500 vacation out of a $50 appro-
priation. 1t is far better, on the con-
trary, to take a S25 vacation with
your $50 allowance. You will enjoy it
more, because you will not be
harassed and nagged by the fear of
lack of means or by the necessity of
counting every cent and getting the
utmost out of every nickel. Some
persons, perhaps, may not mind this
sort of mental labor, with it's attend
ant worry, but most of us do. We in
variably discount it, however, before
the vacation is begun, only to regret
it as soon as we are started. And the
secret of the art of getting the most
out of vacation lies in foreseeing this
regret and forestalling tin having
not only barely enough money, but
more than enough to do what you
plan to do. 1t is better to take q
trolley ride and come home solvent
than to journey to the seaside ant
pawn your watch to get back. Vaca.
lions ought to afford freedom from
vexation and not merely result il
changing familiar care.

Seven Kittens Have Apple Tree for Their
Birthplace.
TARRYTOWN, N. Y, June %
Morris Newman, of Washington
street, tried to shake a green apple
from his faVorite tree in the front
yard yesterday and a little kitten fell
at his feet Its eyes were closed, but
it was lively kitten. An instant
later the mother cat jumped down
out of the apple tree and began 10
purr proudly.
Newman climbed the tree to inves-
tigate, and in the old fork where he
used to sit as a boy there was litter
of six more of the little blind Maltese
kittens. They had been born in the
tree overnight. The mother cat and
the seven little ones are now in a bas-
ket behind the kitchen stove.

PROGRESS AND THE MINORITY.

Sometimes, in the onward march OF
civic improvement, we too seriously
consider the minority. We think of
those who might be hurt by the pro-
posed improvement, but did you ever
stop to think that all public inn
proyements hurt somebody and that
the opposers are always in the minor
ity7 1t is for this reason that the
progressive citizens, those who strive
TO build and improve for not only the
present but the future, must act in
seemingly hard hearted ways. In the
end even the minority is compelled
TO admit that civic improvements are
necessary and if we are TO have them
somebody for the time being must
suffer just little.
For community to forge ahead and
keep abreast of the times, it does not
pay to be too chicken hearted"

TAFT ON KAISER'S RIGHT TO IN
WADE CANADA.

In an instructive address on the
Monroe doctrine with relation to Eu-
ropes war, former President Taft
paid special emphasis to the question
whether, if Germany, Austria or Tur-
key, with which England is now at
war, were to send naval or military
force against Canada, to take Canad-
ian ports and wage war within
the Dominion, this would be a violation
of the Monroe Doctrine and would call
for protest or action by the United
States.
England's enemies would not be vio-
lating the Monroe Doctrine, Mr. Taft
held. by the invasion Of Canada, nor
would the United States have any
right under the Monroe Doctrine to
protest or interfere in sseh an extern
sion If the war zone It is legitimate
for England's enemies to strike Eng
land wherever they find an opening
and il is conceivable that such an
opening might appear IN Canada at
some future time.
But England's enemies could not,
after attacking Canada, similarly with
Belgium, undertake to annex Canada
or take such action as would imply
or assert claim to the possession of
Canada as spoil Of war; without
calling for protest or action by the
United States in defense of the Mon
roe Doctrine.
The situation is not likely to arise,
simply because France and England
control the Atlantic and an invasion
of Canada is practically impossible
at this time. Yet it is question of
great interest in this country and
worth having the legal opinion upon
of man of Mr.. Taft's standing as a
lawyer and judge.

next year the Sixteenth Century, SO to
speak, will have dawned for George,
and he who listened with wide expand

their own account they boldly say:
"Ah, it's just your father and your
mother"
Don't hurry it. Let him find out for
himself who brings the present Christ

THE DIFFERENCE.

Some one points out the unfortu-
nate predicament of the railroads, as
compared with otLer great corpora
tons, in the matter Of obtaining adj
ditional revenue. The Standard OIL
folks, the packers, the paper trust
and others OF like ilk simply hike their
prices whenever they feel the need
Of increased gate receipts. The rail
roads are compelled to go before the
interstate commerce commission and
the various public utilities commits
sions when they want to accomplish
the same purpose.

boat is lighted with two small electric
bulbs. They make the darkness yisi-

there is stale smell of oil. 1t is i'm
possible to speak to each other with
the noise of the engine and of the
water. The heat in the small room is
oppressive.

Intently the men all watch the sign

preparations for the expedition "twt
hours before midnight" in order Il
make a strike at dawn. The letter
! said to have been written by mem
/ Der of the crew of the attacking boat
follows:
"Around the heavy granite rocks Of
J the long pier, monstrously black in the
dark night, the storm sweeps up the
water of the North Sea in angry
waves. Everything is pitch dark. The
fact that many people are hurrying
about on deck is only shown by the
somber figures who now and then pass
in front Of the single lantern. From
out of the engine room, already UNI
der water, there arises the sound of
heavy pounding and the weird crack
ling Of the engines, which are being
tried out.
"When past 10, there is shrill
whistle from the little bridge which
stands high above the submarine and
which is covered with heavy canvas.
The officer in command, dressed in oil
skins, gives the sign of departure. A
short sharp signal to the engine room,
the sudden whirr as the motor catches
and the U-26 is under way. The sharp
bow plows through the water. On both
sides of the ship long waves are form
ed, shimmering with light foam in the
blackness of the sea. We move in
westerly direction. We are going to-
wards the enemy.
"The heavens are covered with
clouds. Not star is visible. A few
feet away from the boat nothing is
noticeable at all. The commander
with his experienced eye, tries in vain
to penetrate through this wan OF sond
blaclness. The wind is from aside
and the bridge is entirely flooded with
water. No noise is heard but the
heavy droning sound of the motor and
the swish of the water passing along
our sides.
"The earliest signs of dawn appear,
when suddenly in the near distance
here is the sight of heavy bulk
swinging high above us upon the sur
ACE of the water. We pass through /
he long tail of foam which a hostile /
orpedo destroyer has just left behind, !
speeding towards the east. We have
managed to find our way through the {
irst line Of the enemy's advance
.uard. From now on, we must be very
areful.
"A signal is heard and men appear
lpon deck. The boat is prepared for
Iction. The flag pole is taken down.
Part of the bridge is folded together
nd well fastened. The periscope is
rought up to the proper height. Then
he entrance through the combined
ridge and coming tower is hermeti-

There was divorce case in New
York recently when the wife, who
sought the divorce, while waiting for
the proceedings to begin, jotted down
some reflections of livorcee, of
which the following are examples:
1t is better to be single in peace
than married in war.
Matrimonial ties are like corsets-
if too tight, they hinder free devel-
opment; if too loose, one might as
well wear none at ALL
Wives should be jolliers, not jailers.
Judging from the divorce records,
it looks as if Hymen's torch was made
of birthstone.
Many married man would never
be missed if his wife did not throw
things at him.

country club, and golfed until dark,
then trollied back to town and danced
until morning" The country cousin
was not to be stumped in the least,
so began telling of some of the pleas
ures of the simple life: "We have had
pretty good times here, too. One
day we buggied out to Uncle Ned's
and went out to the back lot, where
we baseballed all that afternoon. In
the evening we sneaked up into the
attic and pokered until morning" A
