WANT THEIR PORK.

There are two kinds of bills which
come up in the United States senate,
that are invariably passed by large
majority, that are really a national
scandal because they involve waste
of public money, and that are briefly
described as "pork."
One of these bills provides for the
erection of handsome government
buildings in obscure villages and ham
let's. AS most of the senators are
taken care of in this kind of measure,
most of them close their eyes to the
1niquity aid 'tute HItbr4'1t The other
WeasYrelhb 4powRias the rivers and
harbors appropriation bill. Amid some
things that are good, there are abund-
ance of items that are almost total
waste Of money mo one objects to
the great streams like the Ohio and
Mississippi, being improved, nor to
dredging and perfecting the deep har'
ibOrs on the sea coast and the Great
Lakes, where there is really shiD-born
traffic
But, cunningly placed in the meas
ure with these necessary things, there
are always leMa. Tor the improve ment
of obscure streams. So much is THIS
the F case {ilabf seenat4d1r King of utah,
in opposing this graft, said earnestly
in the senate that for two days he
had his secretary and others at work
trying in vain to find upon the map,
aliases and other publications the
creeks, bays, swamps, pools and what
not for which appropriations were
sought
Opposition to this kind of pork bill
is nearly always futile One of the
senators, who yaliantly fought it, real
lied the hopelessness of his fight
when he said that he could stand on
the floor and talk until he was black
in the face and every other sen ator
opposed to the indefensfb1e' items in
the bill could do the same thing, but
that when it came to vote the major
ity would come to the scratch and put
the measure over. And his prediction
came true, only II senator's being
brave enough to say that in a time
of war, when every penny counted,
$28,0O0,O00 should not be devoted to
pork

NOBLE WORDS.

In these days of subtle influences
against this government and it's war
when many German-Americans haVl
displayed themselves all German ant
not American at all, except that the!
made their fortunes here, people Otter
wonder what the old Germans OF 184@
would say.
They were the Germans who came
to this country because they cOult
not make Germany free, the German:
who bravely fought in the unior
armies to preserve the union and free
the blacks.
One Of the most notable of these
was old Franz Sigel The last speech
he made to German-Americans was iI
German, and paragraph bears upon
this very subject.
1t almost appears as if the old sol
der had prophetic vision of what
might happen and wanted to fore
warn his countrymen. His words
might well be taken to heart by every
man in this country with a drop OF
German blood:
Politically 4 am an American
and nothing else; but am proud
to be a German. | would consider
myself less than man were | to
forget the tremendous sacrifices
made by the immigrant Germans
in defense of their new father
land. Shall this blood have
flowed in vain? Shall we now
attack this country to which we
gave all we had to give? This
country is our country, our inter-
ests are its interests. Here we
are, here will our descendants be,
here we shall stay The union,
now and forever"
If a man can't fervently echo the
last three sentences he ought to leave
this country If he can't live up to
the sentiment thus phrased, he may
be citizen by birth or naturaliza-
ton, but he is an enemy alien in
heart ana in fact.

John made his escape somehow. He
remembered opening the door. but he
had no recollection of reaching the
street. A few minutes later, however,
he found himself. striding down Pic
cadilly toward Hyde Park corner.
He found a taxicab and was driven
toward the Milan. He was conscious
of wild desire to keep away from

was tingling. He was fiercely awake,
eager for motion, action, excitement

STUDY THE ANTS!

Do ants keep cows? They do!
Philosophers often have said the
economy and industry of ants cant
be beat, and it is shrewd guess that
they are right
The American gardener, however
will be little bothered by this highly
developed kind Of ants, for they are
tropical white ants, known as ter
mites.
There are more than 100 kinds OF
insects that live in nests of ants-in
the nests of black ants common here
as well as in nests of tropical ants
But the tropical ants seem to have
got things down to a most efficient
system
These termites keep a kind of bee
tie in their nests, guarding them jeal
ously.
The COWS" are of one of these
tribes Of beetles. These COWS" have
p tufts of hair, licked by the ants. A
pleasant presumably secretion is
thus provided.
The ants have the COWS" well
trained, for it is established that the
"cows" will call the ants to dinner
by tapping them with antennae al
feeding time

CHAPTER

The ten minutes passed very much
too quickly. She was gone, and john
thrilled though he was through all his
senses by the almost passionate fervor
Of her leave-taking, found himself
once more confronted by that little
black demon. There was something
about all Of them, all these people
whom he knew to be his friends which
seemed to him to SAVIOR of conspira-
cy. There was nothing that could be
put into definite shape-just the ghost
Of torturing, impossible thoughts. He
was in no humor to 60 home. Chang
Ing the order he had first given to the
chauffeur, he was driven instead to a
small Bohemian club which he had
Joined at Gralllot's instigation. He
had vague hope that he might find
the great dramatist there. There were
no signs of him, however, in the smok-
ing room, or anyone else whom John
knew.
He threw himself into an easy chair
and ordered whisky-and-soda. Two
men close at hand were writing at
desks; others were louEging about,
discussing the evenings reception. One
man, sitting upon the table, a recog-
nized authority, was treating the COM
pany to fluent dissertation upon
modern actresses, winding up by con-
trasting Louise Maurel's style with
that Of her chief French rival. John
found himself listening with pleased
interest. The mans opinion was GER
tainly not uRfavorable to Louise.
1T is only in the finer shades of
emotiOnalism," the critic declared,
shat these French actresses get at
us little more completely even than
Louise Maurel. Do you know the rea.
son? I'll tell you. It is because they
live the life. They have dozen new
emotions in season. They make a
cult of feeling. They use their brains
to disSect their passions. They cut
their own life into small pieces and
give us the result without conceal.
