BULL.-What right has a bull to
make for fellow who tries to make
a short cut for home through some
pasture? Oh, yes! trespassing, Of
course.
Once a little Jersey bull made me
jump over fence quicker than ever
jumped over anything before. He
gave me warning in time, through no
fault of his, by lowering his head and
scraping the ground, and when you
see bull do that you can be sure he
is coming and had better lose no time
climbing tree or vaulting fence.
He had no right to do it because l
was not molesting him nor any of his
family, but his bullship simply wanted
to show his bullish disposition. Even
the bulls and bears imagine they own
the world. Many men are like that,
always trying to hurt others who are
not trying to hurt them, simply be-
cause they feel that way inclined.
Some are always prepared to attack
others without knowing whether they
are right, while others do the craw-
fish act by backing up with their
pinchers raised, ready to give pinch
now and then to keep the other fell
lows from pinching them to death.
The farmer would not have cared
about my cutting through his pas
ture, but that inflamed bull had no
intelligence, neither had he the right
instinct to know that l was right.

those middle class efforts with all

stable is one of the prettiest village streets you ever saw. We'll walk down it this afternoon. Just. now we're going in another direction. I've got one of my pet hooks to show you. I suppose I ought really to wait until spring when the leaves are out to show it to you, but it has beauty all it's own at this time.''
 He took my arm and turned me away from the billboard toward a wide, dusty road winding away from the station to the eastward.
 But Dicky,' I protested. I" thought you wanted to see about se- curing that girl as a model
 "Oh, that can wait" said Dicky carelessly. "As long as I know who she is. and where she lives I can prob ably get hold of her any time. This is our day in the country We've wasted enough of our time talking about possible models"
 My heart sang as I slipped my hand in Dlckys. It was going to be an en- JGyable day after all!

those who finished one, two, three and gold for those who furnished the background. I feel that we often do too much honor to those who win, forgetting those who, like MT. A, fur nish the background.
 Of course in many cases, those wT1o lose did not expect to be in the background and are forced there to their own chagrin. But there still remains a group who fulfill their part consciously and cheerfully.
 The Mother and the Private Soldier,
 Background People.
 Not in sports alone, but in many other phases of life. The mother who obscured herself, ven suffers what amounst to privation, in order that her son may go to college; the man who. seeking no distinction of uni form or title, shoulders a gun anF goes out to fight as a private, as the men who fought under Washing ton in the Revolution did-these are types of background people, sacrific- ing their own individuality for the good of others.
 As Shakespeare said, the worlds a stage. And on it, as on the smaller stage which amateur Thespians love to thread, there are many who, 1% they can't play the leading part, will | not play at all. They wish to ad- | dress the mob, not be of it. The people who furnish the back 1 ground make life possible. what would life be like if none Of us were willing to play if we couldn't all De | principals? =

American citizen-man, woman or child-and the next impo rtant are those pointed out by the president Of the United States in his message the other day when he referred to the destruction of property accompanted by destruction of life in the Uniteu States and stated that conspiracies in alien interests are going on within our own borders.
 Morality and Humanity.
 "I think that if we are to invesi- gate and inquire with view to ac- ton, such deeds as these should not be omitted. I am not willing to get into a passion over an infringement of our trade and then allow American citizens to lose their lives and have 1t go by in frigid silence. l thing the United States stands for something higher in the world than mere trade and mere dollars. I do not want to see our citizens wronged in their properties, but I think we also should stand, and above all, for morality and humanity in the dealings of nations with each other"
 Senator Works of California asked Senator Lodge if his amendment was comprehensive enough to include in vestigation of parts played by citi- zens of the United States in sending ammunition on ships which had been attac cked or destroyed. He was ras- sured that it was also meant to in- clude inquiry into all angles of the general subject of belligerent inter- ference with ships.
 
 Senator Hoke Smith, replying to Senator Lodge, intimated there had been an effort made to bury all -ob- jections to interference with American shipping by sentimental protesta- tions of horror at losses of life" and that some of this effort, at least, had been influenced by profits from the sale of ammunition.
 Those who have considered it most mercenary to criticise Great Britain for interfering with neNral trade" said the Georgia senator, have been persons who, to say the least, have not lost anything in their trade"
 Senator Walsh in Fray.
 Senator Walsh of Montana de- clared that seizures of American cop- per had ceased only because AmericanX citizens had agreed to ship their Sopt per under rules laid down by the British admiralty He submitted q copy of an agreement entered into be- tween the British admiralty and an ' American shipper. It was referredJ to the foreign relations committee as an exhibit.
 There is no great demand for cop per now" said Senator Walsh, 'tand the market is so high that there is no way the producers in the United States could increase the price of cop- per, and this part of the investigation, least, would be free from any sus- picion of having been inspired by motives"

Background People

One day last summer l overheard two men discussing the list of sports which a carnival committee at sum- mer resort had arranged for the en- tertainment of the cottagers.
 Somebody put me in for the swimming race" MT. A.
 Keep out of it," advised MT. B. "There are two or three young chaps down here who know stroke swim ming and they'll be one, two, three in the race and the rest will be nowhere"
 'Oh come on in," urged MT. A.
 Me? Whats the use?'
 He Wasn't Afraid to Lose.
 "Well-you can help furnish a background for the young stroke swimmers, anyway" said MT. A. cheerfully.
 MT. A. went into the swimming z race and into the canoe race and the trap shooting contest as well. I wish I might say that, to the confusion of Mr. B., he won some one of them. The best he did was to finish fourth in the swimming race, trailing behind the young stroke swimmers who finished one, two, three, as MT. E. had prophesied.
 'Well-I furnished the background, didn't I?" he said to MT. B., after it was all over. At which MT. B smiled sarcastically. The idea plainly did 1 not appeal to him.

DEMANDS PROBE OF
 LOSS OF AM. LIVES
Senator Lodge Answers Smith on
 Protest Against British Action

washington Dec. 1.-The long ex- ministration's conduct of the defense of American rights on the seas proke f, congress yesterday when senator uoke Smith. democrat, demanded an investigation of Great Britain's inter ferences with neutral trade, and Sen ator Lodge, republican, replied with a demand that any investigation ln- clude the loss of American lives.
 s'The body of an innocent child, floating dead on the water, the victim of destruction of an unarmed vessel is to me more poignant and a more tragic spectacle than an 'unsold pale of cotton" declared the Massachu- SettS senator.
 Lodge Offers Amendment.
 To Senator Smiths resolution for an investigation of trade interferences, Senator Lodge, who is the ranking minority member of the foreign reIa- tions committee, offered an amend ment for investigation of the law and
 the facts in the submarine attacks on the Lusitania, Falaba, Hesperian, Ara bic, Gulflight and Ancona, and of the plots and conspiracies against the neu- trality of the United States to which President Wilson referred in un- measured terms in his address to con- gress Tuesday.
 Both resolutions were referred to the foreign relations committees on which further action will depend. Their introduction, however, had served to bring out the first debate of the session on a subject to which all minds had turned.
 Drawn Into Discussion.
 Senators on both sides of the cham Der were drawn into the discussion, which was precipitated by a vigorous speech by Senator Smith in support of his resolution.
 "I wish to extend the scope of the resolution by my amendment" said Senator Lodge as the Georgia senator concluded, because if we are to take this question of the violation of our rights, I want to put it not on the lowest ground alone, but on the highest ground as well. I think it is of great importance that We should vindicate our rights as a neutral in trade if those rights have been vio- lated, but I think it is far more inn portant that we should extend pro- lection and assure security to Ameri- can citizens wherever they rightfully are, for I do not believe that any gov ernment can long retain the respect of it's own people if it does not give them the protection to which they are entitled.
 Lives Above Dollars.
 "I think Americans should be pro- tected in their lives and in their lib erty everywhere. l do not think they l ought to be murdered in detail and obscured in Mexico or openly in wholesale on the high seas.
 Although I am as anxious as any | one can be to care for our rights in | trade, if they are violated, to me | American lives are more important i than dollars. If this investigation is ] to go on, and especially if congress is to take action, I want it to take in all ! the violations of our rights that may have occurred. The most important is the violation which has affected 1 American lives or the security of an ,
