YAcK and Evelyn had not been able to sleep very well the night before
looked out OF the window 10 see the engines fly by, and after that it was
- difficult to get to sleep.
II think" said daddy, II win just tell you a short story, for I am IRE you
did you hear anything about. the Ore last nght?" asked Jack, mo n

The IRE" began daddy, was in a deserted barn o the very outskirts Of
IN town It val quite nears some houses and a inn. So the Hrenen wanted
to DO all they could to keep the fire from spreading to the houses, for there
was qutte a high wind. No n minded If the old barn burnt for it really
was of n use to any one. and the owner # it never bothered to keep 1t up
at all.
But the fire engine horses made an awful fuss. They heard. what: the
hremen didn't hear, one Of their own kind crying for help in horse language.
They tried o break from the engines and kicked their heels and made a
lot Of commodon. They shook their heads and made all sorts OF funny sounds.
FINALLY one Of the fremen said:
"I have a suspicion that the horses hear something in that barn, and I
an going in to investigate, for maybe there is something alive inside I have
never known these horses to make a mistake
80 he went in through a broken window, and when he got inside he found
a horse trembling with fear at seeing the flames.
The old fireman unbolted the back door Of the barn where the fire had
not as yet spread and led the horse out Then you should have seer the fire
engine horses. They were sO happy that the old horse had been saved.
But just at that moment a. old man came running GU. Of the inn and
crying: oh, save my horse! He's IN that barn"
And when he say that his horse had been saved he went over and put
his head OF the horses name, and the horse ndghed contentedly.
The old mar had stopped at the inn for the Ilght and there they had
told him he could safely keep his horse in the old barn.
"Oh, I am 50 grateful to you! said the old mar to the hremen. 4 love my
horse like a very real friend. and he is just g devoted to me. How can I ever

barn when the fire horses had seemed so excited. Our horses saved your

CIVILIZATIONS A

From London comes word to the eff
feet that Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign secretary, sees an advantage
to all civilization In the proposal to
mediate, in the difficulty between the
United States and Mexico.
This may be regarded as a merely
conventional u]tterance: but in view Of
the fact that Earl Grey was among
the most earnest supporters Of Pres
ident Taft when the latter was taking
a prominent part in the movement
looking to world peace. something
more than a habitually polite attitude
may be seen.
When the American occupation Of
Vera Cruz was announced, together
with the news of men killed at that
port, the world must have been as
founded at the ease with which a war
could be launched, after so much of
worldwide discussion of peace plans,
and after meetings at the Hague, and
endless discussion Of the subject on
platforms and in the newspapers.
The love of peace might nave ap-
peared merely a veneer, after all. The
primal fighting instincts needed only
to be touched to be fully aroused. Such
was the logical conclusion to be drawn
from the prompt movement of Ameri-
can fleets n the subsequent loading
Of American transports.
Nevertheless it is to be noted with
great satisfaction that the friendly Of
fees Of Argentine, Brazil and Chill
were almost spontaneously offered and
accepted, and that the world is in
stantly relieved by the prospect Of a
peaceful settlement Of a grave prob
lem.
The cause of peace is surely gain
ing ground. The belief in the barbar-
ism of war has clearly become widely
and deeply rooted.

NAVY's FINE RECORD,

The navy may well be proud Of the
conduct of its representatives in Vera

remarkable skill, tact and efficiency,
and a minimum Of bloodshed on Doth
sides.
The country has come to expect
nothing less from the navy and marine
corps, which clearly shows the results
OF experience ashore in the Philip
pines, Cuba and the numerous Gem
trail American republics in which they
have landed during the last few years.

BOYS N GRIM {.

Not long since two boys were ar

because they we're mere youngsters,
about IA years of age, and therefore
under the protection Of the juvenile
law which prohibits publication Of
crimes committed by juveniles, no
mention was made of their case. This
is a good law and all decent news
papers are glad of the fact that
youthful crimes may not be exploited
IN the press. Blu that is not the
point that The Forum wishes to make.
Both Of these boys had the imprint
Of a low standard in life already
stamped upon their features. They

loose mouths that showed weakness in
every line-and both Of them had the
yellow fingers that come with inveter-
late cigaret smoking.
Poor little youngsters, what a mess
kthey had already made OF their lives.
The same day that these boys were
arrested and arraigned before the bar

citizens raised his voice in sneering
criticism Of the "reformers," who are
using their every effort for the pro-
lection Of just such miserable un-
fortunates as these little lads. This
imam belongs to a type of citizen, who,
If he had his way, would throw open
the pool halls to the boys. would re-
peal the laws barring the sale of
tcigarets to minors, would remove the
restrictions against gambling, in short
would run things wide open"
In spite of the protection of these
laws in spite Of the efforts of the
Young Mems Christian association, the
Boy Scout movement and other agen-
cies that are organized to make MEN
out or boys. strong healthy clean
minded men, able to take a big part
in the world and it's affairs, some boys
will find the wrong way-as the bows
mentioned above did. And the man
who would take away this protection
from the boys and who would belittle
the efforts Of those who are trying to
keep he youth of the land pure and
clean deserve the lash of public scorn
and contempt.
The Forum does not often quote
scripture to its discredit perhaps, but
there Is a passage of holy writ which
seems to put this case exactly. 1t is
thus:
1T is impossible but that offenses
will come; but woe unto him through
whom they come! 1t were better for
him that a mill stone were hanged
about his neck and he cast into the
sea- thar that he should offend n of

British exporters Of sending foreign
goods to this country under English
labels. The charge Is made that
British merchants buy large quanti'
ties Of cheap foreign goods and ship
them to New Zealand and other colon
les as British manufacturers.
Minister OF Customs Fisher in a re-
cent speech said that he had positive
proof that foreign goods were inn
ported into England and repacked
and shipped as British merchandise
to evade the extra duty that New Zea-
land places on all foreign manufac-
turers. New Zealand wished to pur"
chase British goods, according: to the
minister, rather than foreign mer-
chandise, and he pledged himself to
do everything in his power to prevent
the interruptions British merchant
from cheating the colonial public.
1t is said that this form Of contra
band trade is especially rife among
exporters Of textile goods. Many Of
the shipments which arrive ostensibly
from Lancashire never saw the in
side Of the mills there, but have been
so ski1lfully remarked and repacked
that the fraud might never be de-
tected unless they should fall into the
hands Of experts, who know the Eng
lish weave.

THE SACRIFICE OF A zoo
Captive Animals Were Slaughtered
to Feed Paris at Time Of Siege.

Boston Transcript: Interesting rec
concerning the siege of Paris are
constantly coming to light, and among
the latest are a number Of receipts
kept in the Municipal library Of Paris,
which show the prices paid for the
animals Of the geological gardens by
the corporation of butchers. These
prices naturally increased as the siege
proceeded, and while the first item
mentions a young reindeer sold for
100 francs, the last records the price
paid for two elephants, $4,000 francs.
Perhaps the elephants themselves
had been reduced to skin and bone by
the p%rivations of the siege.
In the month Of November the pric-
es had already risen. Two wild boars
and two young pigs fetched 1900
francs, and reindeer by that time cost
400 francs each. Parisians had not
yet made up their minds to eat emu
meat, as one of these animals fetched
only 200 francs. Pheasants, however.

have recently been seen at Florence
and Milan where new facades have
been added to the old cathedrals. They
were greeted by derision by the citi-
zens who described them as sugar
decorations on a wedding cake.
The architects have had more luck
at Arezzo, and what was already a
fine specimen of Italian Gothic archi-
lecture, whose corner stone was laid
in 1877. is now complete. The celebra-
ton will take place in May, and a
number of art loving foreigners are

during a recent visit to Pompeii and

YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH OUT DANDRUFF
The Simplest and Quickest Way Is
To Dissolve It.

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger. tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most If not all Of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy, every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff o may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff,
for nothing destroys the hair more
quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
and makes it fall out. but it makes
it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brit
tie and l~ifeless, and everyone notices
it. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Advt.
