When Germany Was Gracious.

Baltic. p%rovtce. which are really German in
the view of Schiemann, who was born
there: The upper classes along the Bal
tic have been German for more thar 700
years" They make. however. but { per
cent of the population, no more than the
garrison in Ireland. but in the case of
Ireland his sympathy is strongly with dis
loyalists-what else would one expect in
Berlin? 1t is to be noted. though. that he
does not expect much from the Easement
intrigue, saying. you can't help those
who don't help themselves"
To Americans there is special interest in
his explanation that on the submarine is-
sue Germany yielded not so much from
fear of war with America as because of the
possibility hat ''tf such a war did break
out. other neutrals might also have been
swung against u.s." 1t will not be forgot
ten that the submarine controversy was
at it's height when the allies were try
ing to recreate the Balkan league, and
Germany, with more success was working
to win over Bulgaria. 1t can easily be seen
how great would hive been the moral eff
feet of the adhesion Of a great nation like
The United States to the entente at that
critical junction. In the Balkans II might
ave been decisive.

THE DWARF OF THE MOON.

Copyright. 1916. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
once upon a time a widow and two
sons lived in Il cot &c near ii woods
Known as the Black Forest. The Oldest
son, who was Il big. strong fellow, was
called Avel lie could work very hard
and very long, hut with what he earned
he was so selfish that he did little for
his family.
The other boy, whose name was OTTO,
was delicate, but he did all he could 10
help about the house and feed the
chickens. Yet the big brother kept
continually complaining about it. So
II day Avcl said he would not re-
get better wages. and by night he had
gone off by himself. This left the
mother ana otto 10 do what they
could. ana they managed to Just keep
body and soul together by the greatest
care.
one cold day. otto went into the
forest ana climbed up The mountain
to GET nj some red berries to sell IN
the market. The tree from which he
wanted to get the berries was Il young
one, and rs he wished to reach them,
he ient it down until it almost snap
ped.
'oh. sir" he heard a small voice
say. wont YOU please leave my home
alone ana he looked down I" see a
pretty wood dwarf peepins its head up
from under the trunk of the tree.
"fertainlY, replied otto. Il had no
idea WIS disturbing YOU. | just
thought To gct some berries To sell. for
We are very poor
If thai is so the dwarf.
II can help YOU. Hold your basket un-
der the mot in This tree while | say
some magic words and there will come
out 4 stream of gold coin. But when
the basket is almost full call to me 10
stop for If a single coin rolls ON the
ground all viii Vanish."
otto held the basket under the knot
on the tree. ana the dwarf shut its
eyes. waved its hands about in strange
figures and tapped the tree lightly.
Sure enough. out came rolling a stream
of shining bright coins that sparklei
g!oriously i'll the afternoon sun. When
the basket was almost fun Otto called
and the dwarf opened its eyes. The
coins ceased tn come and the tree
closed up. So the boy thanked the
kind dwarf and went home to show
his mother his good luck.
And very good luck ii was, for they
bought Il good farm, built a nice house,
gave help to their poor friends and
lived a comfortable life.
Now. when Avel heard that his
mother and Nounger brother We're do
ing SO we'll he went home To ask how
il happened. otto told him about the
