Washington, Aug. 12.-President
Wilson has sent to the senate for rati-

ment extending their political and eco
nomic interests to the whole of Green

found in Article III, in which are
enumerated the grants and concessions

cordance with the terms of the grants
when made by the Danish government.
Article 1 describes the territory
ceded as the Islands of Saint Thorn

gether with the adjacent islands and
property in all public government or
crown lands, public buildings, wharves,
ports, harbors, Notifications, barracks,

that the cession is free and unincum-
bered "by 9ny reservations, privi-
leges, franchises, grants or posses
sions held by any governments, cor
porations, syndicates or individuals
except as herein mentioned"
Article III contains many special
agreements. The arms and military
stores of the Danish government are
to remain its property, to be removed
as soon as practicable.

'Mr. Goldfnch," said Daddy, was
very conceited and proud of himself.
One day he was walking along the top
of a Fence when he saw some Grown
Ups driving by slowly. He stood per-
fectly still, cooked his head on one
side,s and sang for all he was worth.
"'What a beautiful voice that yell
low Bird has, said one of the Grown
Ups.
"'Yes,' said another, he sounds just
like a Canary
There is nothing in the world that
fiatters Mr.. Goldfinch more than to be
told his voice is like a Canary's, and
from that day on he became more vain
and fond of his voice than ever.
1.-The Fairy Queen saw how things
were going, and she wanted to cure
Mr.. Goldfinch of his silly pride. She
knew he was much too nice Bird to
be so foolish. Besides, she had found
that all his Children and Cousins and
Aunts and Uncles were all becoming
just the same way. They all thought
their voices werea just as beautiful as
voices Of Canaries.
ITO be sure, Mr.. Goldfinch's voice
is very much like Canary it's
not quite so lovely-and he can't do
the wonderful trills Canary can with
out his voice cracking. OF course, that
isn't beautiful.

First of all, she asked the Birds TO
give her Concert, and gladly they all
said they would.
Very WE'LL said she, then let it be

"And the next day, on a row along
the Fence of an old Country Road,
near the woods, perched all the Bull
finch family, the OriOle Family, the
Blue Jay Family, the Indigo Bird
Family and the Goldfnch Family.
First of all they all sang in a beau
tiful Chorus, and the Fairy Queen and
all the Fairies were delighted.
"But before long the Elves happened
along by the old Fence, and they said:
What's up? A Concert? May we
stayY
by all means, said the Fairy
Queen, and then she whispered to the
Elves her secret. The Elves sat along
the opposite Fence and perched on the
Fence between some of the Birds, too.

didn't try to sing anything very big or

were so pleased, and the little Elves
jumped up and down with glee.
"'How beautifully he sings they

all sang these words in their own little

But at the beginning of the second

that was too hard for him. He was
getting so pleased because of all the
praise that he tried to sing Songs that
were way beyond him.
"And what do you suppose hap
