He liked to keep 1t rathor than
To mako n social splash.
While friends of Jim's wcrc spending tin

Laid by for rainy days.
From dawn till dewy eve, he'd toll,
And then from eve till morn.
Sell mining stocks and till the soil
And reap rich crops OF corn.
lie always had scheme to make
One dollar grow to ten,
And for that golden eaglo's sake
Hold pass up sleep again.
In divers ways he piled up pelf
Until cen he confessed
He had a-plenty for himself
And thought he'd take n rest
Onhappily. about this time.

Paying for n Dynasty's Sins

= ERMANY is paying bitterly for sins not
" really her own The German people
are one OF the kindliest in the world, and just
now they are denounced for unusual cruelty
and brutality. That this should be the case
is the best proof ever given OF the great Ger
man national failing which is excessive defer
ence TO authority The German is absolutely
unique in that he combines high intelligence
and childke obedience. He does not under
stand how TO rebel, and that is something
every nation should know ii i: values it's
existence.
The German people are not responsible for
the cruelties of the present war. When the
Prussian armies invaded France in 1870 they
were noted for their strict discipline and their
respect for the life and property OF noncom-
Datants. All things requistioned were paid
for, and women received protection and kind
ness. If Germany has so changed as in this
war, ii is due to the government and the
government receives its color from the En-
peror. The government is the Emperor and
his encourage OF parasites and sycophants.
Germany is dying OF kaisersm If she
would live she must put away the evil thing
one group OF men in Germany have the power
TO save the nation from its extreme peril
They are IIindcnbcrg, Mackcnscn. Kluck and
their associate generals, who possess the con-
fdence OF the people and command the Ger
man armies. 1t is their duty TO deposc the
Emperor establish provisional government
and treat for peace. Germany without the
Hohenzollerns would receive easier terms
than with William II. still governing and
still likely TO make war at the next oppor-
tunity.
Unfortunately the German generals arc
not likely to take this bold and desperate
course. They will probably remain loyal
until inevitable destruction dcsccnds on Ger
many. When Charles /. threatened the vital
Interests OF England, he was decapitatcd
When Louis WI. stood in the way OF the
struggling French nation he received like
treatment Germany might profit by their
example. The sad thing is that a ruined and
hopeless Germany will likely be found cling

Loyalty as III th. past

1000 Miles for Plants

SEATTLE. WASH. June &C Kew,
n Chinese dentist, of Shanghai. who is
In Seattle on his way home, doesn't
care about distance or obstacles once
he makes up his mind he wants some
thing. Mr.. Kew arrived on tho Pacific
Coast from Shanghai in search OF
health. lie visited the various cities
along the Pacific slope and came to
Seattle week ago
After booking his passage for China
he found that he had several days to
wait. and remembering that he had tied
string on his finger to remind himself
TO bring home some carnation plants.
took the first train to Chicago and
sought florist noted for the excellence
Of his carnations.
He has returned from Chicago with
his carnation plants, and will sail for
Shanghai, where they will add their
part 10 his flower garden
1T never occurred to me until now
how odd IL must seem for any one to
travel Ia Chicago and back for few
carnations" said Mr.. Kew However,
/ am n lover OF flowers and wanted this
especial kind, so | guess my trip was
not wasted. ! saw lot OF interesting
country, and Chicago itself, which, by
the way, was most extraordinarily
dirty"
Mr.. Kew doesn't think that tho Chi
ncse nation offers much of field for
dentists. MY practice in Shanghai is
with Europeans and the few Chinese
who have come in contact with tho
West" he said.
I'm Shanghai, however. the introduce
ton of modern dental surgery has given
rise to some amusing side issues. The
dentists employ Chinese boys to do the
cleaning up in the Office, and after one
of these youths works for month or
so he leaves and sets up as dentist.
Needless to say some Of the work
turned out by these amateurs is won
dcrful in the extreme.
rGold teeth are extremely fashion
able among the lower classes. and as
they do not know the difference be-
tween brass and gold. the self-taught
dentists reap a harvest by Slipping
brass caps over the teeth and calling
them gold. These men, to advertise
their business, string on wires all the
teeth they have extracted and festoon
them around the shop in which they
work. The shops arc open to the street
and there is always a crowd watching
