If the time ever comes when there
is no longer poverty in the world
there will be a wonderful freedom
for the higher qualities of the human

cause they are driven by the competi-

love of work itself.
The chances are that IL man like

SURELY "PUT FOOT IN II"
Dog, imprisoned In Bakery, Did Some
Damage in His Desire to Be
Released.

In Portland, Ore, there is bakery

bread. served to make the mouths of
the children fairly water when they
go past the big window. The other
day a gentleman went into the bakery
to leave an order, and with him went
his dog-a good-sized animal, of a
frisky disposition. When that gentle
man came out he shut the door behind
him, forgetting that he had left his
four-footed friend and follower inside
the bakery.
AS for the dog, he was In great
way. Seeing the door closed against
him, he got into state of mind or
dinarily described as "crazy." In his
eagerness to keep track of his master,
he looked around for place of exit.
Now, one of the sashes In the big
show window aforementioned was
raised an inch or SO, and the dog
therefore made dash for the window.
His first leap took him on top of a
fine, frosted wedding cake, and his
paws sank into it Just as o boys
boots break through a crust Of snow.
Finding himself still In trap, and
being unable to break the plate glass,
the dog began to hop around, with his
forepaws against the panes and his
hindfeet down among the precious
cakes. The more the people both with
out and within shouted, the more the
dog danced, and the more the rich and
highly-ornamented products of the
oven suffered. Talk about putting his
foot in the put his foot through
a cake at every jump. At the height
of the excitement the baker, who had
been away, entered. The dog saw the
door fly open, and, quitting the window
at bound, he darted away. Moth
ing more was seen of the animal, who
probably did not know what havoc he
had made in the unfortunate bakers
window.

his Buddhist faith that gives Burma
It's characteristics and its charm. Out
OF the twelve million inhabitants of
Burmese is one of the proudest, most
indolent and self-satisfied races on
earth. The rude jostle of these other
peoples who are elbowing their way
into his country, competing with him
in business, acquiring his land, even
questioning the supremacy of his re-
ligion, is giving a harsh jolt to many
ideas that have held placid sway In
the Burmese mind. The awakening
is painful, but part of the stern kind
ness of Providence to a people grown
inert through isolation.
No Longer Isolated.
There is surely nothing isolated
about Burma today. The Chinese are
pouring in from the North. 1t Is
estimated that II the immigration con-
tinues there will be a million Chinese
who will be living In Burma within
the next fifteen years. These Chinese
traders, merchants and farmers inter-
marry with the Burmese, and form a
strong and stable element In the popu-
lation. The Bengali, Tamil and Telu-
gu immigrants are more alien, less
readily absorbed and introduce COM
plicated problems, social and religious.
In Rangoon there are already almost
as many Indian Hindus as Burmese
Buddhtsts. These poor Indian coolies
bring with them their idolatry, their
caste marks, their Hindu festivals;

Emperor William is probably god
father to more boys than any other
person on earth, but he is so well able
to stand up under the strain that he
has issued an order that presently
will increase the number of his pro-
teges.
The rule formerly has been that he
would assume the responsibility of
being godfather to seventh son, born
to any family, provided the boy was
seventh boy by one and the same
marriage. Under this ruling many
seventh sons have had to do without
the honor, because the mother had
been twice married.
The emperor now has modified the
rule and announced that he will be-

IngersoIl's Tribute to Women.

Ingersoll paid the following tribute
to women in his lecture on Shakes
peare: In those days little attention
was given to the biographies of wom-
en-. They were born, married, had
children and died. No matter how
celebrated their sons became, the
mothers were forgotten. In old times,
when man achieved distinction,
great pains were taken to find out
about his father and grandfather, the
idea being that genius is inherited
from the fathers side. The truth is
that all great men have had great
mothers"
