WHEN THE TAIL wAes THE DOG

Last week. when Colonel Roosevelt
reached a telegraph wire and got his
press agency into working order, bis
first ultimatum TO the American PEG
pie was to the effect that if he run for
president in 1916 it would be on the
Progressive ticket.
From indications it would seem
that the Colonel had best hurry home
or there win be nothing Of the Pro
gessive party left By the time be gets
here.
Registration Of Pennsylvania yot-
ers for the forthcoming statewide
primary proves the resHrgeuee to Re
publicanism is complete. Repabli-
can registration far exceeds Demo
cratic and Progressive voters com
bined. The latter party has praeti-
eally disappeared. In the home eoun-
~ Of Senator F7inn, the Roosevelt
stronghold, it has all but passed out
OF existence. The Keystone state Is
~repenting in sackeloth and ashes its
indiseretion Of 1912.
Total registration in Pennsylvania
shows: Republicans, 442,s15; Demo
Gratis, PSI 1916; Progressives, $3.50
The 1912 vote was: Republican, 273,
3O5; Democrats, 3e5 1919; Progressive.
447,426. It will be seen Progress
siveism is disappearing and that the
Republican strength exceeds both op-
ponents. In Films county, registra-
tion shows Republican vote Of .23,s2Z
in 1912 has risen 10 127 ,041; Roose-
welt vote in 1912 of 50,O17 has dwin-
died to 9,507.
Registration Of voters IS going for
ward in California for the ensuing
statewide primary. A statement Is
sued by Frank C. Jordan, secretary
of state, shows the registration to date
is as follows: Republican, $780, 6
Democrat, 127 ,3s3; Progressive, 1877
7s5; Socialist. s3,062; Prohibition
2O,633.
The same story is repeated in 9th.

red the last election or received a

CANAL TOLL EXEMPTIONS

1t is now thought that the bill pro.
viding for the repeal Of the law which
provides for the exemption Of Ameri-
can eoastwise shipping from paying
tolls for passing through the Panama
canal will reach a vote in the senate
early next week. While it is probable
that President Wilson viii be able to
force the measure through, il viii be
owe the protest Of many Democratic
senators.
Senator Walsh, of Montana, closed
debate for last week with a speech
against repeal The Senator was see
rotary of the subcommittee at the
Baltimore convention which framed
the Democrtie platform. He repudi-
ated as unfounded any suggestion
that the tolls plank was inserted sur
reptitiously and said Secretary of
State Bryan, a coworker on the plat
form, had full knowledge of this
plank. He said it was significant At
torney General MeReynolds had ex-
pressed no opinion regarding the
question of tolls.
Senator Walsh declared an open re-
podiation of a solemn by a
political party would cause all to re
coil from any other man than the
president of the United States.
"For myself its moral aspect as
sumes no different hue because he
commands it, added the Senator.

 AWAkES.

Although this bunny is rather pe- culiar, he is somewhat like all other rabbits Cotton-tail is noted for his many dangerous adventures about his home, which show that he has great desire for something exciting.
 Cotton-tail was born in November 1913, in the-little underground" house which his parents had worked very dil- igently to procure. In this queer house his wise mother thought it best for him to stay until he was about a month old. whence he took his first peep at the world. He continued these important views until he became thor oughly acquainted.
 AS his body and talents grew he had a great desire to get acquainted with the garden, having seen his older brother Peter go to and from the gar den many times a day.
 At last his mind was made up and he proceeded to crawl through the fence which encircled his home and found himself in the raspberries, where We saw him frequently playing with Peter. When he found that no harm came to him by going that far he determined to approach the garden and succeeded in getting to the onion and sage bed, where he generally got his meals when he saw fit
 After he became well acquainted with the things around him he all lowed me to catch him often and have his picture drawn by my sister.
 Except for the mourning of Peter who was supposed to be swallowed up by some beartless animal, Cotton tail and his family live happily and contentedly in their little home

 AWAKES.
Mir. and Mrs. Sparrow.

Perhaps of all the birds the one we know best is the sparrow. Wherever we go we see them in large numbers. In Norwich especially we notice this, for they have all other birds outnum Dered. They are very daring and not always afraid. Sometimes you can come within few inches of them be- fore they fly away.
 The English sparrows are very quar- relsome and often we hear loud twittering in some bushes and nearly always find out that some sparrows are fighting over 8 crumb or worm. Generally they get so excited over their fight that another sparrow car ries off the prize before hey are aware of it. E Once there were two little sperrows who were looking for g. place to build a nest. They found a very nice place in the roof of a house. MT. Sparrow cfept in and then found that he could not get out. as some mortar had fallen. His wife tried her hardest to pull him out and got very angry. Soon some other sparrows came chirping round to see what was the matter. She took hold of the little prisoner with her beak and pulled so hard that she kill ed him. Her beak had entered his brain and his head was dreadfully mAngled.
 Now, isn't that a sad story? But anyway it showed they must have loved each other.

A Trip to Riverside Park.

Last summer my mother, sister and I were visiting my aunt in New Lon- don.
 My mother and sister went home on Wednesday, but I stayed till the next Saturday.
 Thursday morning I went with my aunt and cousins to Riverside Park We walked all the way but stopped to rest at Williams Park. After we got rested we walked a long distance until we reached the park.
 As we were hungry we ate our lunch which we had brought with us Then we played around with the swings. We thought we would go in wading We had just about got in the water when we heard the sounds of distant thunder.
 We put on our things hurriedly and started for home as fast as we could. We were going to take the car, but not seeing any in sight and not knowing what time it was we thought we could get home quicker by walk ing. When we got about half way home it poured in perfect torrents
 As the home of one of my friends was a little way in the dis tance we ran to it as fast as we could. staying there until the show CT was over. We then started for my cousins house. We all were wet but none of us caught cold
 The next Saturday I went home aft CT spending a very pleasant week.

industrious Girls.

Dear Ucle Jed: AS the school has closed this afternoon for the teacher to go to a teachers meeting, I thought I would write a story to you.
 Both the boys and the girls had been studying agriculture at school til the beginning of the spring term. Then Mir Brundage arranged it so the girls from Storrs, Mansfield Four Cor ners and Gur1eyville and Eagleville school could go up to Storrs each Sat urGay to take sewing lessons.
 We began taking lessons April 18th and we haven't missed going up and taking our lesson once. The sewing teacher is very nice. We began mak- ing dusting caps and have them most done now. We have a very nice time up there We begin at 9.30 a. m. until Il a. m. Sometimes we don't get out until 11.3o a. m-
 There are four of us girls and We go together from my house three miles through the woods to Storrs. We have real pleasant time hearing the birds sing, as it is woody road. We watch to see the new birds and flowers from one week to the next We have lunch to eat on the way.
 We enjoy getting acquainted with tho girls in the other part of the town. There were thirty of us answered to the roll call last Saturday. We ex- pect to meet together again Saturday

think we will talk little more about rains, for they do not have April showers in all parts of the world
 The Sun summons the nists on high, the winds carry the clouds to the gone of distribution, and the cool air cur rents condense the mist and return in rain the water to different parts of the earth.
 Here in New England we are apt to bo surprised by a shower in the sum ner months most any time. but on the Pacific coast. as we'll as on other parts of the globe, they have a wet season and a dry season so well defined that they know when to go prepared for rain and when not to.
 It is well known to those who study the weather that three in every five years may be wet, with two dry years: or just tho reverse; and that these variations are not accidental, but true to some law which regulates the d1ss tR4but1on of water.
 There are some places where they do not have rains, but have heavy night dews. The hast report from Aden, a city of 46.eoo people in Arabia, they had not had a shower for 2S years: but not many miles away on the desert the greatest rains occur, some g inches of rain falling in few hours and resulting in great floods; and the roar of the thunder follow ing the lightning lasts for half an hour, and it is from these regions that the rainiess city of Alden gets it's water supply.

boy out of school without the consent of his parents.
 It was a wicked game one that told against his success in life. and he
 hadn't the courage to break away, from
 his naughty companions, so they spent the day on the marshes climbing the f1ve-ton haystacks and jumping off and lolling in the shade of them. This
 was not very happy day for him or his fellows, for they had nothing to eat and Charley sprained his ankle Jumping from 8 tall stack and was in such pain he cried and cried; and when 1t came sundown and time to start for home, Charley only could hop on one foot and the boys had to take turns in acting as crutches for
 him. They could not carry him, but
 by leaning upon them he could hop
 and hop, and I guess he never before
 worked so hard to get home to his
 mother. And when he got there hun gry, fearful and generally miserable, ne had to have the doctor. have his aching ankle done up and go supper less to bed.
 Charley had finished the game of paay1ng hockey, but the other boys had not, so they wandered out into the night. while their parents worried and Iretted about them and looked for them where they were not and had the

vine reached the ground 'That will do very nicely" said the judges
 Now there lived on the hillside a miser He sold all he had except a brave steed and had gone to live on the hillside in a little cottage. Every and planned how he could get more gold while the noble animal which had saved his life in many battles. stood in the stall, shivering and half starved
 'sWhat's the use of this old horse?" said the miser one morning. T can't sell him because no one wants him. I will let him out to get what he can- If he starves to death so much the better"
 So the old steed was driven out. glad to find thistle or a blade of grass The boys threw stones at hsm and the dogs parked at him. There was no one to care for him.
 One hot. dusty day as he was plod- ding slowly along the road he wand cred into the market place The streets, were deserted. The heat had driven all the people indoors. He saw the green leaves on the grape vine. He stretched his thin neck for them and then the bell rang: It seem ed to say over and over slowly. and solemnly.
 Some one has done me wrong. Oh-judges- come"
 The judges put on their robes and started on the dusty road They won dered who could be in trouble on that hot day. As they were coming ia the gateway they saw the horse and knew it was the one that belonged to the miser. By this time people had crowded around to see what had hap pened. All were ready to tell how they had seen the poor creature on the roads.
 Call the miser before us," said the judges. They ordered that one half of all his gold be set aside to provide the faithful beast with good stall, a good pasture, and plenty of hay and oats.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
How the Robins Build.

Dear Uncle Jed: Last spring I was sitting under a tree watching two robins building a nest.
 They carried mud for one day, and the next day they carried blades of dry grass. They were twisting and plaster ing it with their bills till at last they had made a fine nest.
 it happened that some chicken feath- CTS laid under the tree. The robins flew down and picked them up care fully. Ther they began twisting and clustering again.
 About a week later I climbed up the tree and there was one blue egg, then in two weeks there were four eggs. The mother bird sat in the nest all day. At night she still remained on her nest The father bird sat by her on limb with one eye shut and the other eye open.
 In three weeks there were four little robins.
 A few weeks later the four little robins were old enough to fly and were getting their own food
 The father and mother were very proud of them.

, AN INDIAN WAR DANCE.
(By Mother WiIsonD

(By Mother Wilson,
 How I got to the Indian village and how we lived the first summer, may do to tell later.
 Just now 1t Is enough to know that every Indian girl and several of the boys knew that a pale-faced girl was doors as well as they, the Indian chill dren, did.
 They also saw she was not afraid of insects, the water or firearms Cher father was connected with the Robbins & Lawrence company at Windsor, guns and she had been taught their use even being allowed to help in test ing the Sharp carbines then being made at Windsor. Her father had long be- fore been a skilled workman at Spring field, Mass, where Mrs. Wilson was born.)
 As noted the Minnesota side of the Mississippi was the home of the Sioux while back ways in Wisconsin and north of St. Paul was the land of the Chippewa Indians. These two tribes were always at war.
 Soon after I came a war party re- turned, bringing in five scalps-two children'S, one mans and two squaws hair from the top of the head. The party had lost six of its own mem bers and long before the war squad had crossed the disputed ground (to new Hager) a runner had signalled to the watcher on Barns Bluff their loss and gain.
 Such a vail as then was heard. Hundreds of human voices all bewail- ing the loss of the braves. So intense was the mind of the squaw fixed on the loss nothing at first seemed to be thought of the scalps. (The sQuaws do the general mourning) But the braves had not forgotten nor were they going to let their loss cause any one else to forget.
 The Indian makes a drum by stretch ing hide over something hollow. He also makes a rattle of a long reed of cattail or wood about the size of a gun ramrod and from 1-2 to 1-2 feet long. This is trimmed at one to represent deeds and desires.
 A part of his hair is wound into a small knot on the top of his head. ornamented with cotton, down from the breast of a duck or rabbit, and as many quill feathers fastened in as represented his deeds of bravery
 His body is naked in the summer to the hips and only covered with a breech cloth when celebrating an event like the first one I saw. (At other times he wears a shirt, leggins and a blanket.)
 His dance is peculiar. It depends on what is the cause. Several are quiet, others musical, and others like this. very noisy.
 In every dance there are leaders. Indeed, a leader is a necessity in any joint affair and the whole crowd seem to be graded from the chief down.
 Gro be continued.)

JOEY JOY, A RoLLICKING BOY
How He Played Hockey

Joey Joy was born to smile if he vas not born heir to a fortune A smile was the first sign of, his con sciousness of life, and as he advanced In years he developed into 8 son of laughter. Tho fact is he would rather laugh than cry and because of this he sometimes laughed when other boys would have wept.
 He was full of mischief and before he was five years old he had picked the eyes out of the picture of Satan which adorned the family Bible and ran away from home to the river bank to see the fishermen come in from sea and watch the boys bathing in the warm Hood tide.
 This incident leaves no doubt he came to light in seaport town and spent his juvenile days by the salt water, where the gulls as well as the swallows sped through the air and the high winds lashed the water into time and the rising and falling tide made the heavy ice crack and crash in the short and bleak days of winter
 The reason Joey Joy pricked out the eyes of Satan in the family Bible was because he had been told the wicked this would prevent Satan from watch ing him, which was a sad mistake It Is plain that the thought of Satan worried him more than it should little folks and that is why he watched the cavernous mouths Of deep cisterns to see if he couldn't ses Satan with his keys going down to his domains. for his Sunday school teacher had made it certain to him that the wicked place was somewhere beneath, his feet, and this is why he told the parson when he saw him digging. a hole in tho gar den that he was digging . hole to hell"
 Joey Joy didn'f know much about wfcksdness, but he was born with . great curiosity conceruing the world and what he was in 1t for
 He was 50 innocent that when . Boston boy asked him Ito play hockey" he had no idea that it meant to run away from school, so with Jimmy and Charley and Tom he strolled away be- yOnd the swamp to the meadows and when the school bells rang two miles away he turned and said 1t was school time and they must go back He was told he couldn't go back because play :, Ing hockey was game that kept .

played games of all kinds. It was very cool there on a hot summer day.
 In August two of my cousins came to visit me. My cousins and I decided to sleep few nights in the tent. We had lots of fun getting ready for bed. This is how we made the bed: We had a spare spring, a mattress stored away. My mother gave us permission to use them, which We placed on the ground: then with other bedding add ed made us quite comfortable.
 Just as we snuggied down to go to sleep my cousin felt something soft and fuzzy rubbing against her face. We got little scared, because we didn't know what it was; but it was only a little pussy cat which wanted to sleep with us- We chased it away. We soon fell asleep and did not awake until morning. We intend to sleep out this summer if my cousins come again.
