"Once upon a time" began daddy,
and Nick and Nancy burst out laugh
ing.
"Why, daddy" they shouted, you
never begin stories that way.
well, l did this time to surprise
you, and now that have I might just
as well start right in with the story"
at had been the first hot day. Even
the sun felt tired. That may sound
very strange to think of the sun feel
ing tired. But still, can't you imagine
that on the first hot day that comes,
when the sun has been shining with
all his might and main, that he gets
little bit tired and is glad when it is
time to go to bed? Many strong peo-
pie may get tired at night.
GAS the sun went to bed, the moon
began to peep up and laugh. He
grinned from ear to ear, for he said to
himself:
Tonight l really will be appre-
ciated, for the sun has overworked to-
day and no one ever gets any thanks

PADDY NEEDED THE MONEY
Respect for the Dead Evidently Had
Little Place In the Makeup of
This lrishman.

Agood old story has been resurrect
ed of Paddy Maher, who one time was
a handy man for an undertaken in a
town In the County Kerry.
So healthy had the people become
that the undertaking business was
very slack, and full time was never
certain, and overtime out of the ques.
ton.
Therefore Paddy resolved to mi
crate to Liverpool. Arriving there
practically penniless, he applied to an
undertaken for job.
what can you do?" asked the un
dertaker
Anything at all about q funeral"
said Paddy.
well, l can't give you a regular
job" said the man, but you can go
and lay out old Cohen, the Jew. in
Palestine street, for a start"
Away went our hero, and shortly re-
turned, having done his work and
brought measurements, ETC.
There's nothing else for an hour or
So" said the boss, 80 wen go and
have a drink"
They had one, and then Paddy said:
Nov yell have one with me-"
II thought you were spent up" said
the boss.
80 l was,' said Paddy; but luck
ye here"
And he produced sovereign.
Where did you get that?" asked the
astonished boss.
Il found it in the ould Jews hand
when laid him out"
'Oh, you shouldn't have touched
that" said the boss in alarm. 1.-THE
Jews always put gold in the hand of
their departed. You've committed a
great crime"
what 'ud an ould Jew want with
goold whin he's dead?" asked Pat.
ITO pay his fare across the Jordan"
replied the undertaken.
"Oh," said Pat with a broad grin,
"let the ould chap swim. What are
ye drinkin' ?"-London Tit-Bits.

Memorial to George Eliot.

There is soon to be opened at
Nuneaton, her birthplace, memorial
to George Eliot, says the London
Chronicle. The memorial, which is
the gift of a private individual. has
taken the form of museum and art
gallery, the spot chosen for it being
a very appropriate one in the midst of
scenes made famous in the novelist's
book, Scenes From Clerical Life" To
the left of the building Is Mildly church
of "Janet's Repentance" and but a
short step away stands the old house
in Orchard street where lived the
lawyer Dempster and his wife.
Two minutes walk in the opposite
direction brings one TO the school
where the writer received her first int
tiation into the wonders and the beau
ties of our language.
This is the first public memorial to
be erected to the novelist's memory
the other one in existence being that
erected at Arbury, where George Eliot
vas born.

SOUND ADVICE FROM FARMER
let Same Day-Would Find Life
Easier at Home.

Mr.. Jephtha Wade, a well-known
Cleveland man, has winter home at
Thomasville, Ga. One of his sons is
an amateur balloonist and occasionally
makes an ascent from Townsville. II
the family fail to hear promptly from
him they set forth in motor car and
search until they find him, the Youths
Companion states.
One day, when the roads were slip
perry with mud, the automobile skid
ded and slid part way down a bank.
1t brought up without damage against
a large tree. Mr.. Wade could not get
1t back on the road and appealed for
help to farmer blowing in the field
below. The farmer hitched his team
to the front axle and soon pulled the
car out Of trouble.
Mr.. Wade looked back and said
THAT tree saved us from a bad acct
dent; If it had not been there we
should have turned over and been bad.
ly hurt"
yes, suh," drawled the farmer
that cert'nly is a useful tree! This
mornin' young Teller in balloon got
stuck in 1t and had to hist him out. u
why, that was our sonl" exclaimed
both Mr.. and Mrs. Wade, excitedly.
The farmer looked at them for mo
ment with puzzled expression; Their
his face lighted up with a smile, and
he said:
Il reckon you folks would find life
easier II you was to stay home more.

for overworking. 1t is as bad as not
working enough
"Of course, the moon was the very
sort to talk that way. For, can you
imagine that jolly cid man whom you
see grinning at you so often ever real
ly working very hard?
Gust then the moon began sending
out his invitations for party.
HE sent them in this way: He
whispered to the tall pines that he
wanted to have party and to invite
all the little fairies. Also he added
that they must wear their very best
clothes, for when he gave a party he
liked to see folks in their party clothes.
"The fairies lost no time about ac-
cepting this invitation. And you should
have seen how absolutely gorgeous
they looked when they were all ready.
The fairy queen was dressed in gilt
tering gold. She wore gold crown
on her head and carried gold wand
with gold stars glittering from it.
Cali the other fairies were dressed
in silvery costumes. For the man in
the moon is very fond of silver. You
still sometimes notice that he puts on
a silver robe himself, and he is very
friendly with the silver clouds that
float in the sky at night.
"They did have the very best time
and they all enjoyed the party 80, SC
much. The man in the moon laughed
his head off-at least the fairies were
afraid he would-as he said he had
never before seen the pine trees be-
have SO like silly little trees, instead
Of like big, dignified trees they had al.
ways prided themselves on being.
"But the pine trees didn't care, for
they were having beautiful time wav
ing and singing. They sang for lots
of the lovely dances the fairies did
AS for the fairies, they had the best
time in the world.
They felt 1t was very great honor
for them to be give a party by the
wonderful old man in the moon, who
had such splendid guests as the pine
trees!"

/ transit, the animal would be tipped
over into the River Espirito Santo a
thousand feet below.
From Sal-si-puede onward the mules
waded streams, floundered through
mud to their middles and labored over
| fallen logs, often on trail SO narrow
and SO overgrown that it was neces-
sary constantly to use the machete to
clear the path Of hanging vines and
dense underground. On one occasion
after eight hours of scrambling and
wading through mud and water, Mr..
Cherries mule slipped in deep pool
of thin mud and became tangled in the
roots at the bottom, pinning the foot
of the rider under it. Mr.. Cherrie was
held up there deep in the mud until
two mule drivers could return to extri-
cate him.
The advantage of having compact
units of baggage was made evident in
this locality. The jamming of baggage
tween saplings or in washed-out
gully would necessitate a halt and
while the load on the mule that had
caused the halt was being recinched,
dozen other mules would start ex-
ploring the neighboring thickets.
Sometimes the whole train would be
thrown into confusion and all the pack
animals would have to be rounded up
and the packs readjusted.
Animal and Bird Life.
There were no wild animals of a
kind to be feared by man along this
route. Along the banks of the Chapare
we found evidences of tapir, paca,
capybara, jaguar, tiger cat, peccary,
deer, coati, agouti and others, but the
high water, which varies sometimes
forty feet between seasons, had driven
game to the highlands, making hunt
ing possible only at the highest points
along the Mamore. Bird life was most
abundant in Bolivia; collector could
spend several seasons to advantage in
these little-traversed routes across the
South American states. When the in
| cidental mishaps and inconvenience
are forgotten, the Bolivian Yungas be.
tween Todos Santos and the Chepare
may we'll be compared with other
natural wonders. Daily the vistas of
palm, fern and floral growth, with cas-.
cades, waterfalls and freshets, make
a delightful background for the abun.
dant bird and other animal life.
At the beginning of the Chapare the
Yungas disappeared and our arriero
now led the way down the river bed,
or through the cane and bamboo
brakes, pushing on through mud and
| water. Due to good chance our camps
remained above water except in two
instances. One night in particular the
rains filled the Espirito Santo and San
Antonio rivers and left us in three feet
OF water at daybreak

GERMANS SPENT B|G WAR FUND
 IN J. $. SAYS INDICTED CONSUL

Germany in March. 1915. there was S50O.000 in the war fund in the San Francisco consulate. Preston asked what use was made of the money.
 We spent it to buy rubber and nickel for Germany" the consul re piled. We shipped the materials through neutral countries"
 To what other uses the money was put was not revealed.
 While Preston was questioning Bopp about such an enormous fund" Bopp exclaimed:
 Why the British consulate here has millions"
 Questions about the movements of detectives for the German consulate brought a remark from Bopp that at one time detectives engaged by A. Carnegie Ross, British consul gener- al. surrounded the German consulate "IIl bet it cost him lot of money" Bopp added, with a smile.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 22.-Inside workings of the German consulate of San Francisco during war times were revealed today in the United States district court by the cross-examina- tion of German Consul General Franz Bopp. accused with six others of con spiracy to violate American neutrality by hindering shipments of war muni- tions to England and her allies.
 Bopp admitted existence of secret German consulate war funds" agSre- gating more than $1OO,OO0. Some of the money. he said. came from the German embassy in Washington. John Preston. United States district attor- ney, was endeavoring to show that the alleged conspiracies were financ' cd on a gigantic scale.

FORD SCORES IN DODGE SUIT; GAN BUILD
 SHELTER
Broadening of Injunction Is Denied, and Injunction May Be Dissolved By Michigan Supreme Court.
Especial to the Reviewl

LANSING, Mich, Dec 22.- Henry Ford scored two points in the state supreme court this afternoon in the litigation begun against him by John F. and Horace F.. Dodge, minority stockholders of the Ford Motor Com pany
 The court denied the petition of the Dodge brothers asking that the scope of the injunction restraining MT. Ford from using the cash surplus of the Ford Motor Company for expansion purposes, be broadened, and granted an alternative order on MT. Ford's pc tition to have the injunction dissolved. By the terms of the latter order the circuit court, which granted the tenn porary restraining order, is directed to modify it and let Mir. Ford proceed with contracts he has made, providing he files 6 bond acceptable to the low CT court. or. if the circuit court refus- es this, it is ordered to show cause why the entire injunction should not be dissolved.
 The Dodge brothers want the Ford profits disbursed as dividends. The decision on MT. Ford's petition will permit him to proceed with the exc cution of contracts for the building of a large shelter furnace near De troit and the bond will protect the Dodges from any loss in that connec- tion.

AJO APPEALS TO
 SHERIFF FEARING
 l. W. W. TROUBLE
Followers of Agitators Are Getting Beyond Control and Policing Force Seems Wholly Inadequate.
Special to The Review)

AJO.. Ariz., Dec. 22.-Urgent tele- grams were sent today to Supervisor Estill and Sheriff Forbes. by business men of Clarkstown, calling for more police protection because of reported threats from I. ". WIS and other un- desirables who comprise the bulk of the strike organization and Clarks- town headquarters. Threats have been made 10 burn the town and against the lives of Sam Clark, townsite own CT, and Attorney Mays. The sheriff has but fifteen deputies in the entire district. Clarkstown believes that the undesirables are getting fast beyond control of strike organizers whose first followers have practically all re- turned to work. Aside from growing uneasiness in Clarkstown all was qui- ct in the district today.
