Paddy Muskrat said he would think
about it. And when he went home to
go to bed he spoke to his wife about
the matter.
But Mrs. Paddy wouldn't think Of
such thing.
II like this house too we'll to move

where do you suppose can get new

You're a man." said Mrs. Paddy
And you ought to know"
When she said that. Paddy Muskrat
knew that there would be no peace for
, him until he gave his wife what she
wanted He could hardly sleep from
worrying about that dipper. And the
next day it worried him so much that
he forgot all about the fright he had
had the day before. Paddy roamed
Tar and wide, looking for a lipper,
and asking everybody il he had seen
one anywhere.
He was crossing the road some dis
lance from home when all at once he
heard that terrible jangling and clane.

way in hurry. But in his haste he
made mistake. Instead Of jumping
toward the brook, he jumped AMY
from 1t. And there he was, unable to
swim away!
Paddy Muskrat crouched behind tho
fence while the terrible wagon psaeed
him. After while he peeped BE-
tween the fence rails to SEQ IL IL vas

right in the middle Of the road, what
should he see but new tin dipper!
He hurried out from hts hiding
place. snatched up the dipper, and
took it home to his wife.
That good lady was greatly pleased.
And she wanted to know where PADDY
found the dipper.

unable to explain. 1t was old Mr.

THE HIGHEST DUTY.

Woman suffragists are Offering their
opponents a powerful anti-suffrage
argument by their campaign for IA
vorable action at the next session of
congress on the Susan B. Anthony
constitutional amendment.
To demand that congress consider
any question which does not have a
direct and vital relation to the prose.
cution of the war constitutes failure
to measure up to the standards which
should be achieved by any man or any
woman asking or claiming the right to
vote on public questions.
This fact is set down here without
any attempt to influence opinion on
the question of woman suffrage in il
self. 1t is friendly warning to those
earnest women who are working fol-
the ballot, many of whom without
question are far more capable of ex
ercising the voters privilege with
judgment and wisdom than are many
of the men whose right to vote is un
questioned. This is not intended a

an argument for or against suffrage
The Courier would not enter into a
discussion of that question at this
nor at any time until the issue OF the
world war is determined beyond per
adventure.
The one consideration which should
govern American men and American
women now is the nations war crisis.
While that crisis exists no other ques'
ton is of sufhcient importance to JUS
tify distracting the public mind; no
other question Is Of sufficient impor'
lance to justify distracting the atten-
ton Of congress from the war.
Failure to realize this fact does not
indicate ability to vote intelligently.
Suffragists should realize it in time to
avoid placing in the hands of their op-
ponents weapon to oppose their nu.

soldiers wholesale. That may not
sound pleasant to sensitive ears, but
it is fact.
Secretaries Lansing. Daniels and
Baker, who, with the socialistic
George Creel. compose the committee
on public information, could do no
greater service to their country right
now than by wiping ont the silly CEN
sorship which seeks to create false
feeling of security which can only
harm America and can assist no one
but Germany.
Let the American people know The
truth, let them realize that they AND
their government, thsir allies, their
families and all that they hold dear,
are threatened with defeat death and
destruction. Let them know that they
must fight with their backs 20 tss waa'

Then We may win. Until thsa We

that whatever hopes there may have

If Italy's army can Withstand the

Cadorna can rally his shattered forces

THE TIN p,pPER,

So many wagons passed along the
road that ran by the mill-dam thai
F; Paddy Muskrat paid little attention tc
them. But one day when he had wan
dered over near the fence by the road
side he had a great fright.
A big covered cart came joltine
along, making the most terrible noise
/, Paddy had ever heard. 1t was hung
all over with queerly shaped shining
things, which gave forth deafenine
din as they ratified and clattered and
tangled and dangled.
Paddy Muskrat ran towards the
milfpond. He was so scared that ne
forgot to slap the water with his tail
to warn his friends to Un and hide.
He was worried about his wife. But
he found her at home. So they both
! stayed there for long time and never
went outside their house again until
it was quite dark
| Then Paddy said he was going to
call on Mr.. Turtle and ask him about
that notwithstanding wagon.
Hes lived here so many years that
he may know what it is" said Paddy
For once Mr.. Turtle was puzzled.
| ut Wasn't a mowing-machine, was
it," he inquired.
But Paddy said he knew moving
machine when he saw one; and 1t
couldn't have been that.
Then I'd say 1t was threshing-
machine" said Mr.. Turtle.
But Paddy Muskrat had seen thresh.
ing-machines. And he knew 1t couldn't
have been one of those, either.
Mr.. Turtle thought and thought. And
finally he said:
There are so many new-fangled
! machines nowadays that it's hard to
say just what you saw. It's just pos
sible that it was steamboat"
I've heard Of steamboats," Paddy
Muskrat remarked. But the thing
that passed here today went on land.
And steamboats,, they say, go in the
water"
maybe they do" said Mr.. Turtle.
But perhaps this one had run away.
- = Did you hear it whistler"
Paddy said that he hadn't heard 1t
whistle, but that II seemed all ready
to screech.
"No doubt that was IT," Mr.. Turtle
told him. so long as it stays out OF
our pond, we've nothing to worry
about. But if it should come in here,
should leave at once"
Paddy Muskrat felt less uneasy.
after his talk with Mr.. Turtle. But
not long afterward he heard some
news that set him to worrying again.
Benjamin Bat told him that the
strange wagon was spending the
night in Farmer Green's barnyard.
II flew right into it before saw it.
BENJAMIN Bat said. "And I nearly
got caught in a trap that hung on one
side OF it,"
Paddy Muskrat began to SILVER. He
shivered so hard that BENJAMIN Bat
said
