Will See All Who Come.

Speaking of his interview with the dele
cation of railway executives. President
Wilson told callers that he was greatly
impressed with the reasonable attitude
of the railroad men, and that they dis
played no feeling of a questionable kind.
He said that the railroad men had not
criticised the interstate commerce COM
mission.
The President said he expected to take
no further action on the question than
his Letter sent to Chairman Trumbull to-
day. Although he believed it would not
be proper for him to advise other govern
mental agencies on what they should do
about the railroad situation, the Presi-
dent indicated he would be glad to con-
fer on the question with any one who
wanted to see him.

could. Cav. cav. cav! Come on, every

Poor Buster. 1t was bad enough to be
frightened almost to death as he had
been up in the Old Pasture when the
pail from which he had stolen the berries
picked by Farmer Browns, Boy had
caught over his head just as Farmer
Browns Boy had yelled at him. Then
to have the handle of the pail slip down
around his neck SO that he couldn't get
rid of the pail. but had to take 1t with
him as he ran was making bad matter
worse. Now. to have all his neighbors
of the Green Forest see him in such a
fix and make fun of him was more
than he could stand.
He felt hu-mil-i-ated. That is just
another way Of saying shamed. Yes. sir.
Buster felt that with that pail hanging
around his neck he was shamed In the
eyes of his neighbors and he wanted
nothing 80 much as to get away by him
self where no one could see him and
there try to get rid of that dreadful
pail But Buster is so big that it Is not
easy for him to find hiding place. So
when he reached the Green Forest he
kept right on to the deepest, darkest

thickest nemiock tree he could find.

with honor and respect. We feel his
death keenly."
