and how long they remain in it, and
how various and how influential are
the experiences through which they
pass, we can see how far back the
peace movement must reach in its
educative work. What can we hope
to accomplish in the training of our
diplomats for carrying out the policy
of universal peace, if we cannot train
our captains of industry, in the ranks

end to act in the terms of peace?

AWAY down south in the land of
sunshine. in a quiet little stream that
flowed gently through the cypress
forests, lived old Mr.. Cater and his
family.
For many years he had lived in the
cave made by the great roots of a
tree; so many years that he couldn't
even remember ever living in any
other place. All he knew was that
particular stream and that same safe,
comfortable cave. For, you see, old
Mr.. Cater was very old-very, very
old, Nobody had the faintest sort OF
an idea just how old he was Per-
hap he knew, but he certainly did
not tell. No, sir, Mr.. Cater was
far too clever for that, He never
told anything-not he
OF course if anybody had been very
curious, they might have examined
his teeth; but who cares enough bout
an alIigator's age to poke their I'm
gers into his great, fierce jaws or to
count his great, sharp teeth? Not /!
Indeed, no!
So old Mr.. Cater lived in his cave
maybe a hundred years, maybe two
hundred,-and very well satisfied was
he with his life and surroundings
When the cold winds blew from the
sea, some distance away, he crawled
deep into the hole under the spread
ing roots and went to sleep in the
muddy water And when the sun
shone warm and bright, as it mostly
did, he wakened up from his sleep
and crawled out into the warmth and
brightness.
But even though Mr.. Cater was
well satisfied with his quarters. he had
to admit that it was awkward getting
up onto the shore. AIligators have
hard work turning around. you know.
They can swim and crawl and float
and walk, but turning around is some
thing they never do unless they have
to-and then they do it awkwardly.
because their necks are not made for
graceful turning. And the way his
cave was planned he had to go out
into the water and then turn around
and crawl back up the bank.
How nice it would be- said he to

AIligators have hard work turning
around, you know.

Over and over again he wished for
that log; but he never did anything to
bring such a log there-not hel If
YOU want to think that old Mr. Cater
was lazy, you will think just about
right
But indeed, if he had wanted to
work and bring log there (Which he
didn't there was nothing he could
have done; for the stream itself must
bring the logs
And then one day, just when he
wanted it most, a great log came
floating down and floating down right
to his cave, and il stuck in the bank
Just where Mr.. Cater wanted it to.
All, me-" said Mr.. Cater, as he
crawIcd out on the log and sunned
himself contentedly, everything
comes to him who waits. and this log
is surely worth waiting fori"-(Couv-

On the Spur
of the Moment
BY ROY k. MOULToN.

Don't Do 1t.
One poor deluded mortal tried to figure out
the scheme,
The old scheme of existence, and it was
his one pet dream
That some day he would solve 1T and that
he would rise to Fame
And that the countless millions would his
mastery proclaim.
He tried to figure how some folks could
always get along,
And never do stroke OF Work ana never
get in wrong;
How they could wear the finest clothes
and eat the finest fare
without a cent of income of which neigh
bors were aware.
He couldn't dope their system out. de tried
with might and main,
But had to give it up at last; his efforts
were in vain.
He tried to figure how 1t was that crooks
seemed to succeed,
While honest folks failed frequently, and
were sometimes in need
He figured on for many years, his fate is
sad to tell.
They say that he's still figuring, but in
padded cell.

How to Build a Bungalow.

There is probably nobody in this
world who hasn't at some period in
his career desired to own bungalow.
A bungalow is a long, low. rakish
looking house with porch in front
and an ash can behind. You get into
it by going on your hands and knees
and you crawl out backward, for there
generally isn't room inside to turn
around without upsetting two or three
dollars worth of furniture The roof
is so close to the floor that when you
get into a bungalow you feel like a
porcine portion of ham sandwich.
One Way to build a bungalow is fol-
low the advice of the magazines. Ac-
cording to them you can build a bum
galow for any price from $3.50 up to
100000 and you can go little
higher than the last named figure If
YOU want to have plumbing in it.
