It's a fact, most of the little people
of the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest were glad when they heard the
pitiful voice of Bowser the Hound call

was the matter with him, but they did
know from the sound of his voice that
he was in trouble of some kind and
they were glad, actually glad You see.
more of them are very much afraid OF
Bowser. To be sure, he has hunted
some of them a great deal. and per-
haps they are not to be blamed for be-
ing glad that he had at last got into
trouble. But there are a lot whom
Bowser never had bothered at all, and
it didn't seem right that they should
smile and say that they were glad OF
it when they knew that something was
hurting him very much indeed. And,
Of course, it wasn't right Bowser isn't
nearly SO bad a great many think
he is.
OF course, when his yelps and howis
of pain and fright We're heard every
body was greatly excited. Peter Rab-
bit knew perfectly well that he ought
not to leave the dear Old Briar Patch
al that time of day. but he just couldn't
sit still; ne had to know what had hap
pened. He promised little Mrs. Peter
that he wouldn't go far ana that he
would be very, very careful. Now, it
was lucky for Peter that others were
quite curious as he that morning.

hilities. A couple Of battles rs big

fought without the outside world
knowing much more than that they
nave happened.
But the efforts of the European
censors will herceforward be made
to look like amateur performers.
The curtain in front Of the European
stage will seem transparent In COM
parison to the ultimate opacity that
will cut off the view of events in

LABOR DAY.

Every American, whether he
works with his hands or with his
lead, will take full advantage Of
his, the last of the summer holi-
Gays; every one will appreciate the
fact that there is a long period Of
work ahead of him.
This fall and winter is SIRE TO be
:: time of readjustment in many
ines of American commerce and
abor, due to the European war,
which not only shuts off some of the
nings we buy, but is filling our
warehouses; with MANY of the things
we sell. How to manage without the
narticular things we have always
imported and how to get market
or the things Europe cannot buy
must engage our serious attention
or months, perhaps for years
here may be some failures in the
fort to readjust, but there will pc
more successes and great ones.
The best thing about the whole
situation is the stout heart of the
business world and the people in
General. They enter upon combat
18th uncertainties with the old Yam
&c confidence, backed by the knowl
edge that in the fundamental items
of physical life we are safe We
can feed ourselves. clothe ourselves,
warm ourselves. The rest is only a
matter of time and adjustment.
There will be no hard times if the
hsrd work is we'll tackled.
Business must not wait until the
var is over" for nobody knows
hen that blessed day will be. If
re are prepared fer long war, so
much the mere prosperity if the war
brief.
It is 4 splendid time for every
american, from the housewife 20
ne capitalist, to study american
. conomies and get a better knowl-
dge of values.

prolonged effort, and much opposi-

woman notary in the West. And
she obtained the appointment so thar
enc might legalize papers for Wild

been severe drain on many wom-
ems resources. Taxes had to be paid
in gold. though soldiers were paid
their s13 a month in greenbacks.
These greenbacks were worth only a
little more than IS in gold So the
matter of simply paying taxes on
farms was a problem for many
women.

done by women. and to see women in
the field plowing was common.

AUSTRIAN FAILURES.

The Austrian press may be "hor-

irian military pans" as a dispatch
from Milan puts it, but those who
are familiar with the war history Of
Austria cannot be greatly slrrrised.
In the last three centuries Austria
rarely has been a win2er. From
leipsic, where Guatavus Adolphus
defeated .hc Austrians in 1851. to
Sadowa, where Won Moltke r:adc
Prince Frederick 4 victor. the Aus
trian arms usually have failed.
Without he MD of John Sobicski,
Austria would have been beaten by
the Turk in 1858. After that there
are few 1righ: pages, with Prince
Eugene the ;hining figure on them:
hut since he defeated the Tur[; at
Belgrade ncarly two hundred years
ago it has been one d, ,Wnfall after

Frederick the Great took SilsstM

The result has been that In many
cases the commercial travellers, recos-
part Of their countrymen have laid
special emphasis on the fact that they
were carrying foreign lines Of goods.
Today. however. they cannot get
much Of this foreign goods, and our
woolen manufacturers and producers Of
other goods are already turning out
materials which are recognized to pc
equal in quality to the best Of the
foreign patterns.
They admit that they could have
done the same thing in the past, but
there was no demand, as the general
public preferred the foreign brands.
Now that those brands are not to be
had, customers have been forced TO take
the domestic products, and are fnding

Advertise the fact that the goods are
American. American manufacturers are
superior to foreign products; make the
world aware that the article was made

word imported in M business. ao-
vertise that l handle only American

In many lines the fact that goods
were foreign made has been advertised
by American merchants. whereas IN re-

to cheaper the American manuractur-
