BED Time TALES
\ GOOD WAY TO END, a QUARREL.
BY CLARA INGR 4 M JuDSON

The street in front of a half COM
pleted store room was cluttered with
building materials.
There was sand and mortar bricks
boards-all out .. the broad, wide
street.
All day long the place was full of
life and work Men coming and go
ing, horses and wagons bringing new
loads which We're unloaded amidst
Whir of noise and dust.
But in the late afternoon. as soon as
the whistles blew for quitting work,
the men dropped their shovels and
their hods. their hammers and their
saws, and lett for home.
In ten minutes time the street was
deserted.
And that was the time when the
real fun began for the building ma
terials. for they could talk and visit
in peace and quiet
On this particular day the men had
hardly departed when one of : the
bricks remarked with a sigh Dear
me, l thought this day would never
end; they unioaded me so hurriedly
that I'm really very cramped and I'M
comforta BILE"
oh, well. you must not mind that"
said a long faced steel girder near by.
you must remember that YOU are
only a very unimportant little brick
ana II dOSSA matter IHdtH anyway.
Now the brick didn't like that very
well. He knew, of course that he was
only a brick, that he always had been
a brick and would be brick the rest
of his life. still, it sounded different
when somebody else said it. He did
MT mind being brick at all-but he
simply wouldn't be only brick, so
he shook himself AMI said. AT least
I'm a prettier color than you are, Mr..
Girder.'
Pooh, What's color? I'm the
strength of the whole buildins,' scott

think YOU are so important, This
building would be nothing without my

HOPE Is SLIPPING.

When the unrestrictedly murderous
submarine warfare upon merchant
Shipping began men in high official
places in Berlin predicted that the new
ruthlessness in the destruction of
peaceful vessels and their crews would
bring Great Britain to terms within
two or three months. After the latest
a week or so the official German time
limit for making England beg for
peace was raised to six months Now
all that is said is that there was no
other way to end the war the coming
summer-say in seven or eight
months
Clearly, great expectations are fad
fng. Hope is slipping farther away.
The end of the war, with Germany vic
torious. does not look so near as it did
There is no longer any talk of ending
the war in two months or three. or
any serious thought of stopping it in
six months from the beginning of the
latest phase of submarine warfare.
And yet the rulers of the German
empire. says the Cleveland Leader.
thought that for such a faint promise
of victory, such a dubious chance it
was worth their while to throw away
the friendship of the United States
and risk drawing this country into war
against Germany.

he is too generous both to himself
and his family.
Economy is not at all in my line
But there is one thing 1 cannot bear
to buy-hairpins. 1 simply grudge the
money spent that way and will stint
myself outrageously. l sometimes

String seems to be a favorite econ
omy. / know several people who can
not bear to see the knot cut instead
of laboriously united. And yet if one
cuts carefully one loses only few
inches of string. Surely anyone's time
is worth that much.
A literary friend tells me that tho
rubber bands are very useful to him
and he eagerly saves all he gets, he
cannot bear to buy them. Someone
once gave him a handy box with two
boxes of rubber bands in it among
other things and he says he never felt
richer with any gift.
The quotation above is the intro
duction to some delightful reminis-
cences on this subject. One of the
most amusing is this:
An old gentleman of my acquaint-
ance who took the intelligence of the
failure of a bank in which some of his
money was invested with stoical mild
ness, worried his family all thru a
long summers day, because one of
them had torn GnStead of cutting) out

per cent loan will be followed by
Others unless the war ends earlier
than now expected. In addition. the
Allies will make further demands up
on our monetary resources, several
important loans now being reported
under negotiation; and since these viii
be employed for the purpose of buying
more munitions they will of course be
readily taken. Fortunately our bank
ing system is in splendid shape for
meeting this crisis.
Ample time has been afforded for
preparation. Our banking resources
are. generally in liquid form; deposits
are heavy; money is abundant and
relatively about the cheapest COM
