MAMIE GOAT AND THE CAKE
BY Farmer Smith

One night just as BILLY Bumpus sat down
to tell his daughter. Mamie Goat a story.
no heard a voice calling, Father, Father 80
He went to the head OF the stairs and Mrs
BumDus whispered something in his ear.
Then he went back to tell Mamie the fol-
lowing story:
"Once upon a time there We're two little
goats who had very good smellers--"
you mean noses" interrupted Nannle
Goat
yes" continued her father "Two LITTLE
goats with wonderfully good noses, who
could smell a piece of cake about two miles
on
lone of the little goats had mother who
used TO make cake for her and she never,
never refused to give the little goat some
of the cake which she had baked
zone day, what do YOU think happencd?"
81 cannot imagine" said Mamie Goat
all aglow with curiosity
We'll" said Billy Bumpus, looking very
crafty and strolSing his whiskers. the two
little goats smeled the cake which one Of
the little goats mother had made ana both
of them waited until the cake was done and
had been set out on the kitchen window
shelf to cool, and then"
81 know the rest of the story" said
Mamie Goat, sitting holt upright in bed.
80 does another little goat friend Of
yours, Miss Jemina Goat" Then he added
81 think both of you ought to have a
spanking"
lUlllh 30, 100 hdlu .Ntllnle Goat, hut
before you spank me I really would like 10
tell mother how good that cake was [
think it is wonderful that you selected such
n good cook for a wife, The cake was de-
licous, You know good cooks are scarce
nowadays"
you are n dear, sweet daughter" said
Billy Bumpus, as he gave Mamie "A great
big hug.
I'm ready for you to spank me-" an
swered Mamie as she turned over.
Il guess not tonight" said her father
the tears coming into his eyes "But il
Is always a better plan TO ask for things
first than TO be found out aftrrwurd, as
you cannot fool anybody but yourself
Then, Daddy will you give me another
plece?"
"Of course ! OF course, my dear" replied
Billy, as he scooted d0wnstairs and into
the pantry where he found Mrs Bumpus.
81 guess our dear daughter has learned
lesson" he said, as, he kissed his wife,
May she have another piece of cake?"
Yes" replied Mrs Bumpus, with a smile
"and so may her father"

LACK OF FTREMEN
AGAIN EMPHASIZED
Civil Service Tests Recently
Held Attest Shortage in
All Grades

The obtaining of a sufficient number OF
sliglbles to replace the vacancies existing
by reason OF the unusually high number Of
| recent designations In the Bureau OF Fire
is one Of the most serious problems con-
fronting Director Wilson and Chief Engi-
neer Murphy at this time.
The lack Of available material from which
to I'LL the gaps occasioned by the retirement
among the veteran flame fighters has been
a source Of concern to the official heads Of
tho bureau for some time. Lately this
worrment has been increased by the FREE
quent dropping out Of men whose appoint-
ment as hose or laddermen dates back but
few years, or is only matter OF months
This disposition to quit the service Is
prompted In most cases according to the
men themselves, by acceptance of employ
ment. In other lines where the inducements,
both TN salary and hours Of duty. are more
attractive than those In effect within the
Bureau Of Fire. The prospect Of remaining
in the service does not appeal TO the younger
member when he Contemplates the recently
adopted donation" TO the pension fund In
a desperate effort to stay that institution In
its fast -skdding course toward depletion.
During the last few weeks the Civil
Service Commission has done its best TO
provide against the shortage OF candidates
for the Bureau Of Fire
4 list of eigibles for the grade OF hose
and ladder men was made public shortly
OetOTe lNC OtBllUluk OF Nlt NtdlH h7NNNaeA
appointments already have been made out
uf that batch of candidates to fill long,
existing vacancies and to take the places OK
older men who have left the bureau subse-
Iuent 10 the publication Of the list.
Examination for the grades OF captain
and lieutenant were held last week, and
Yesterday a test was conducted for the post
of battalion chief There Is no present
vacancy in this grade OF the fre-hghtinB
force. although all but one Of the eleven in
rumheuts are eligible to retirement on the
pension roll
IN the ordinance now resting in the hands
of Councils Committee on Finance, provid-
ing additional money and men for the
Bureau of Fire, this contingency Is foresoen
and overcome. Besides the allotment OF
hose and laddormen that every member
OF an engine or truck company may enjoy
ono day of IN four there is detail which
can be disposed Of in the form of flying
squadron by the chief engineer wherever
temporary shortage exists in the various
battalions.
Adoption OF this ordinance. the firemen's
committee argues, will obviateI
not only the risk of Gripping the bureau
through injuries. but will bring into the fire.

POWER OF THE PRESS
CONTINUED from Page Two)

ed power of the press is no more. The
locks OF Samson have been shorn by
the Delilahs, miscalled statesmen,
and the press grovels before official
dom, grateful for a look, a kind word,
or a less importunate kick than usual.
Two years ago, before this body, I
painted a picture of the growth of
governmental o%fficiousness which was
more prophetic than l knew. Your
attention was directed at that time to
the increasing insolence and intol-
erance of oficialdom and the predic-
ton was made that, unless checked
and repressed with stern hand, it
would rise up to strike down it's crea-
tors. 1t is in no spirit of arrogance
or boastfulness that these facts are
recalled, but in a spirit of sorrow and
humiliation. Our sins of omission
and commission are enguling us. In
stead of rising like valiant fighting
men, true to conscience, to honor, to
the spirit of freedom and progress of
civilization, to strike down our shac-
kles, we sit like hoary dotards wrap
ped in the sackcloth and ashes of la
ment and repine. How long, o Lord!
How long shall this endure?
Where are the forward-looking men
of today? Certainly not in the halls
of legislation. State legislatures from
the Atlantic to the Pacific are feeble
c~ounterfeits merely of a doddering
Congress. Here in Ohio why can we
not have constructive legislation on
the subject of taxation? The answer
is painfully simple: because we lack
constructive statesmen in the General
Assembly. Too great a percentage
of the membership cannot lift its ears
from the ground to take a good
square, honest look upon the necessi-
ties of sections and taxing divisions
remote from the bailiwicks to which
they look for continued lease on Off,
cial life.

frankie Mcclure Must
Fight to Win Next Battle

frankie Mcguire, the local welter-
weight. will have his work cut out
for him on next Monday night when
he faces Henry Hauber. the rugged
hard-hitting Philadelphia boxer whom
he is matched with at the National
Athletic Club. The battle takes place
in the Family theatre. Hauber was
present on last Monday night at
Olympia. in Philadelphia. where Ma
guire boxed Buck Fleming. and Hau-
Der says that Maguire's style of fight
ing suits him exactly. They are both
fast and game fighters and the man
who wins will know that he has been
in some muss.
Hauber has met some of the best
men of his weight in the country and
he has never failed to give a good
account of himself. Recently, in the
Quaker City. he defeated w. o. Willie
Loughlin. who recently won a six
round victory over George Chip. for
mer middleweight champion of Amer
ica. Hauber's particular stunt is ag-
gressive lighting. He is a good boxer
but he believes that the man with the
hardest wallop will bring home the
bacon.
The club matchmaker announces
that the preliminary bill will be one
of the best ever offered Harrisburg
sporting men, and one that no fight
fan can afford to miss.
