 Mama considered awhile before she told them whether Helen might go. The woods where the nuts were was near. She thought Ethel was large enough to take care of her, so Hhe let the happy trio go.

ALIRUISM AND POLITICS

Some Of the substantial, thought fuI supporters of Democracy are net aiding President Wilson in his campaign for re-eelection, while there gre others who are giy- ing him A1e faint praise that damas Henry Watterson finds reason in plenty why Mr. Wilson is not an ideal representative of the Demo cracy ir the presidential chair. lie feels that the presidents worl altruisr is interfering with com mon justice to his own people, and ta4r much Ut iL is mere scnolaS-lc dissel ,atiou; he finds the pr7Sl- ueat. also. q shrewd politician and ua oppUryuuist who adjusts his al ,rulsm 10 practical political needs. Nevertheless, MT. Wauerson fee.S thur his duty to Democracy caIs for his support of is candidate.
 Col. George Harvey editor Of the Ncrth American Review, one of the strong men of journalism, wao helped to elect Mr. Wilson president or the United States in 1912. finds reasons now for reverS- ing Lis former judgment. To him, also. tie president is an opportu"- ist whose prOfessed aIIruism does not it iu with his political strategy More than this, he says, MT. Will son has repeatedly shown evidence Of .emperameutal iucapacity to grasp aud master a critical situa- ;iou at the psychological moment, and 1be presidents attitude in the railway strike situation may beclt- cd as evidence of it.
 Evident, even to the casual o0- sarvc-. is lIr Wilson's inconsi5t- ency. For instance, how can the man whose voice trembles as he speaks Of America as the torch bearer of civilization and the rrus- tee os human liberty, find it eA- pedIlnt to seud a committee of Democratic politicians to Tamm@ny Hail to beg Tammany to support himo And why should his fervent suppor. be always enlisted on the side that shows the most votes?
 The record indicates that, while Sue presidents heart may often have bled for humanity, he is not above sending notice of the fact to tncso who may not have heard about 1t; and it shows that, while idealism and aItrusim are his stock in trade, he is not above stopping in his refrom of a coll and practical world to repair hi poIilcaI fences.

YOUNG MAN, how dc you spend your time?

GOOD FORM IN TENNIS.
Don't Copy a Bad Style Because Some
 Star Player Uses IL.

Don't Copy a Bad Style Because Some
 Star Player Uses IL.
 Good form in tennis Is hard to de scribe. It Is not necessarily the ability to win matches, nor Is it always the most graceful way of hitting the ball t is rather the method of playing those strokes that have been shown by long experience to produce the best re. suits with the majority of Players.
 One too often hears an ambitious young player declare that any stroke that wins is good enough for him. Be- cause McLou-h!iu won International matches in spite of using Cramped 5ackhaui swing they are willing to ,opy his style in the hope of equaling lis skill.
 But success does not justify bad form. What a McLoGgh,ju 0r BrOOkeS night do with a bad style of play Is not always the b2rt for others to at 'cmpt. Ten would fail with sHrh meth ris where one would succeed, while with good form ten would succeed wEne ono wOud c.iL
 A young ui"vCr with a generous fu- ,ure before h.m might mJ>h better select as a u-.c' of good form strokes such as JchEstou U=cs CT those shown by LarneL With such a model any Eea!thy, actirc b0y should he able to play tennis well after steady practice.
 The game does not require height or weight or any unusual physical qualifi ratlOn.-J. parmly Iarrt in St. Mich. tlns

SIRIUS AND TIE DOG DAYS.
Time Has Wcrn Away tho Link That
 Bound | hem Together.


 The z days, when excessive heat Is supposed to prevail, begin July 3, according to the ancient reckoning, and coptiuuc to Aug. II. A" sorts of tradt tlons and supcrStit.ons are connected with this rcr,oI, and various dates are also given.
 Ir some sections the dog days are said to begin on July q and to end or Aug. 24, while stlll others attribute the malevolent influence of the dog star upon the earth to the period from Aug 1 to Sept. I, in accordance with the au clent Egyptian reckoning.
 As matter of fact, the rising of the dog star, Cunis MajoriS or Sirius, has nothing to do with the affair at all The rising of that S.ag has been so ac' celerated by the procession of the equi noxes during tue passage of more than 2,OCO years that the corresponding con. dltlOns for tEe ancient dog days no longer exist
 In ancient times in the attitudes of the Mediterranean the period of great. est heat nearly cOrrcspoEded with that time In which thc dog star rose at the same time with the sun. To this con Junction all antiquity and all the later followers of judicial astrOIogy attrib' uted q malignant influence.
 Among the modern notions regarding the dog days k the absurd belief that 1t is during thls period that dogs are most likely to go mad-St Louis Post-Dls- hatch
