We, the Tribune, entirely agree that
there is nothing in free trade" as
President Wilson says, but as to his
statement made in the same breath
that "neither is there any in protec-
ton" we respectfully call his attention
to the fact that in protection there has
always been a full federal treasury and
no need for stamp taxes if nothing more.

FLYING War Horse.

A correspondent of the Milan Cor.
riere della Sera" reports the following
story:
AN Italian lieutenant recently rode
through n Of the villages on the
IsonZo front. He dismounted before
the temporary quarters of the com
mander of his regiment and tied his
horse to a tree. When he entered the
house he heard the humming poise Of
large Austrian shell and a moment
later a terrible explosion followed.
The shell had struck a small building
on the opposite side of the street. An
immense cloud of smoke and dust rose
and when it disappeared the horse OF
the officer was gone.
"The air pressure caused by the ex.
plosion had lifted the animal from
the ground and thrown it on the fiat
roof Of a nearby house. where it was
found almost unhurt. 1t was no easy
job to get the horse to the street
again. as this could only be accom-
plished with the aid of a large crane"

DADDY,S EVENING
HEAIRY TALE -
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
ON TOP OF MOUNTAIN PEAK.

Il haven't told you yet about the
Dance the Fairies gave at the top of
Mountain Peak for their friends the
Clouds" said Daddy.
The Fairies had had such a good
time at the Dance the Clouds had
given that they wanted to make theirs
a huge success, too.
1T was a cool day, and Mr.. Sun was
shining hard while Mr.. Wind was hav-
ing an argument with him as to wheth-
err 1t was a warm day or not.
Mr.. Sun said 1t was nice and
warm, for he was working hard and
seeing that everyone was warm. Then
Mr.. Wind said it was a fine cold day
for he was blowing hard. They al
most had a quarrel about it, and then
they overheard some Grown-Up say:
Its warm in the Sun today, but
otherwise it's really quite cold for the
Wind has a sharpness to it, SO that
settled the dispute for then they both
knew they were right.
well, it vas just the sort of a day
the Fairies wanted for their Dance.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1916-05-18

The Sky was the most beautiful shade
of blue and the Clouds came dancing
along to the party in fine array-which
a fine feathers or fine clothes.
You know how sometimes you've
seen the Clouds so SO quickly along
you've wondered where they were
bound for. Well, usually when they're
hurrying like that, on a cool day when
the Sky is a very deep blue, more
than likely they are on their way to
a Dance on the Mountain Peak which
the Fairies are giving.
But this afternoon the Fairies had a
special treat for the Clouds. In the
first place the Mountain Peak wore
his very finest blue cap which he only
wears on very important occasions.
And in the second place the Fairies
did their Mountain Dance.
They flew from one little peak to
another and then they flew about in
groups, carrying with them garlands
Of beautiful honeysuckle and ivy
vines.
The Clouds were delighted and be-
gan tearing about in glee. Then Mr..
Sun was so excited that he came over
to see the Fairies Dance too. And he
went behind one of the Clouds 50 that
the Earth People said it was surely
going to Rain.
And OF course Mr.. Wind flew about
having the gayest sort of a time. And
too, he was pleased for he had won
the dispute with Mr.. Sun. Now it GER
tainiy was a very cool day for the
Earth People when Mr.. Sun vas so
lazy and had to watch parties! But
Mr.. Sun didn't care.
LAS for the Clouds and the little
Fairies they had the jolliest, best sort
Of a time, and just before it was time
for the Clouds to leave, all the little
Gnomes who lived in the Mountain
Peak came out and did their tricks.
"One very fat Gnome did a trick
which he called turning m
saults-"
THAT isn't such a wonderful trick"
Nick burst out.
"But it was a funny trick for him
10 do as he turned all his somersaults
sideways-and they looked more like
a trick Of rolling owe and over than
somersaults. But it gave the party
q very jolly ending"

EVIDENTLY A HOPELESS CASE
nit That the ~Dictasraph Had

A certain young man Of Columbus
who is SO hard of hearing that he oft.
times carries a little ~dictagraph in
strument with him to help him follow
the conversation of his friends. was
among some of his rural relatives last
week. There happened to be a farmer
in the vicinity who had not heard a
word for years. The Columbus man
was introduced to him and referred
TO his little instrument which helped
deaf persons, and offered to demon.

anyhow" suggested the visitor. The
farmer hesitated a while and then put
n end OF the instrument to his ear.
To the surprise of the Columbus man
the deaf farmer replied, when asked
in a tone hardly above a whisper,
Can you hear what | say?"
Nope. | can't hear a word. These
things don't do me any good"
Would you acknowledge it if they
would help you?" was then asked him
in a still lower tone of voice. and the
answer came back promptly: Ger.

The Columbus man put the instru.

his rural friend. "A hopeless case

had kept out Of his voice all the long
ing, and all the eXultation, and all the
love! He would not trust even one
vibration of his secret to a cold tele-
phone wire!
He set the door of the vestry open
wide. Within the church, the organist
had conquered hat battling run in the
mighty prelude OF Bach, and the great
dim spaces up amid the arches were
pulsing in ecstasy with the tremendous
harmony. Outside, upon the back

rose a futtering. a twittering. a COO

pink scarf about her shoulders. a aim
pie frock of delicate gray upon her
slender figure, her brown hair waving
about her oval face, a faint flush upon
her cheeks, her brown eyes sparkling,
her red lips smiling up at him.
He had intended to tell her much,
but instead, he folded her in his arms,
and she nestled there, content. For a
long, happy moment they stood, lost to
the worla of thought; and then she
looked up at him, and laughed.

said.
He laughed with her; then he grew
grave, but there was the light of the
great happiness in his gravity.

That was a part of what she had
known.

struggle between faith and disbelief.

Coast Artillery Organizations
are Planned in Districts Near
Forts; Would Be AuxiliarleS
in Time of Trouble
LIEUT.. HARRISON is TO
ORGANIZE FIRST UNIT
Plan Has Approval of Col. VIII
liam C. Rafferty,; Will Be
Taken Up With Washington
BY Brig. Gen. Johnson

Six Coast Artillery companies OF
the National Guard Of Hawaii, to
serve as auXiliaries TO the regular
Coast Artillery forces now in the ISL
ands in case of war--that is the latest
plan OF the National Guard.
Hearty approval to the project has
been given by officers at the head
quarters, Hawaiian Department. and
Brigadier General Samuel johnson
will take the matter up with the mill
tary authorities at Washington to Sc
cure the necessary equipment.
Col. William c. RaffertS, command
ant of the coast defenses of Oahu, is
In sympathy with the plan, and at his
suggestion there will be six such COM
panies formed.
The scheme is to recruit for each
company in the district near each fort
-one company TO be made up of resi-
dentSNpf Waikiki, who would be an
auxiliary to the De Russy forces; one
at Kaimuki for Ruger, and similar or
ganizations near the other coast de-
fense fortifcations.
Immediately after the inspection
period is completed, March 81, Lieut..
George X. harrison of the Guard will
undertake to organize the first coast
artillery company of the National
Guard of Hawaii, acting on orders
from General Johnson. ..s.5
The Coast Artillery is to be organ
ized primarily for businessmen and
for men employed downtown who have
little time 10 give TO guard work and
who, on account of sedentary occupa-
lions. do not relish the great amount
Of hiking required Of any infantryman.
The companies will consist of from 65
to 109 men. %.
Col. Rafferty, has offered to allow
the militia company to use the coast
defense guns here for practise and
drills. Col. Rafferty, will ask permis-
sion from headquarters to detail a
non-commissioned officer or lieuten-
ant to instruct the guardsmen.
Another company can be used to
man two batteries of five and seven
inch siege guns.
