do. That's not a nice sort of thing
for bean to do"
"Well," said Bean the First, 81 feel
almost desperate. feel so utterly
miserable"
"And so you want to make me miser-
able too?"
"Well, not exactly, but you know
when someone or something is miser-
able it's very nice to have company
! to have sympathy"
"You've horrid habit growing upon
you, Bean the First" said Bean the
Second. "And you'd better get over
it while you are young. 1t may make
me tough and perhaps it may make
you no good at all. You'll be thrown
away then and you'll never have the
crowning success and glory of a bean
being served upon the table in a dish,
then put on a particular plate and at
last eaten"
''Do you think such a thing would
happen to me?' asked Bean the First.
"It is very apt to If you keep on the
way you are going. You'll haYe to
mend your ways"
"How can I mend my ways" asked
Bean the First. "You speak to me as
though I were a stocking and could
be mended or darned."
81 don't mean you have to be darned,
or that you could be mended, for I've
never heard of a bean being sewed-
that is with a needle and thread. But
a bean is in a way sowed to make it
grow up into fine vegetable and you
can mend your ways by being pleas
ant and by growing into nice, tender,
delicious bean. That's the thing for
gou to do"

why did you say had no hearth"
Neither have you," said Bean the
Second. 81 just picked up that express
sion somewhere. Beans can't have
hearts,"
Lettuce plants have hearts," said
Bean the First. "They talk Of hearts
Of lettuce"
"Come now," said Bean the Second,
you aren't lettuce plant, nor are you
A lettuce leaf. Be what you are and
be satisfied. You're a good vegetable
and that's enough for you or for me
to be-"
"But can't tell you what made me
feel so dreadfully in the first place"
asked Bean the First.
Eyes, but don't tell it in a cross,
unhappy way. Speak of it as joke!"
II don't see how can," said Bean
the First.
"Try," urged Bean the Second.
"SOme children were passing through
the garden and one of them said to
another in a very cross vOice-you
could tell they weren't friendly by the
sound of their voices-'You don't
amount to row of beans. You're lazy
and idle and silly
"Now the second child was very an
CRY. I guess I do amount to a row of
beans,' she said. And then she left
the first child and went off saying an
grily to herself, Maybe haven't done
very much that was good or sensible
or nice, but l will from now on, for
I don't want anyone to say such a
thing to me again' What do you think
of that?"-
"That's just a saying" said Bean the
Second. "If you cheer up, you'll find
you're all right and will be appreci-
ated."

st. Paul Overturned and Sank
Yesterday at Pier.
Three Men Reported Missing
Out of Crew of $50.

An Atlantic Port, April 26.-The
work of raising the American liner st.

The ship had no cargo and aside from
damage to the machinery and fur

the cost of salvaging operations.
The vessel lies with her starboard
side above water. Three of the $50
men said to have been aboard the liner
are reported missing, while the list of
injured will not exceed twenty.

Renewed Pressure i'm West Is
Significant.
Realization of Failure To End
War Is Growing.
LINE FIRMLY INTACT
Cannot Stop the
Drive Now.
A Victim of His Own Machine,
Like Napoleon.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York. April 26.-Von Hinden-
burg's renewed pressure on the front
between Ypres and Hazebrouck, after
the recent heavy German casualties, is
still another indication of the growing
realization in Germany that the pres
ent situation in the west is not eXerting
its expected influence on the end of
the war.
By securing a footing on Mont KEN
mel. the Germans have added difficult
ties to the British defense of the
Ypres salient. but have not placed in
any peril the British forces defend
ing that area The British line con-
;inues intact 1t is in perfect position
for another moderate retirement, if it
becomes necessary to exchange still a
little more ground for a further
slaughter of German man power.
Cannot Stop Effort.
The key to the entire west front
situation at the present moment is the
impossibility for Hindenburg to stop
his offensive efforts without confess
ing the ruin of his great plan to end
tn war before Americas military
strength can be brought to bear. There
is every reason for confidence in Gen
eral Foch's ability to prevent this by
compelling the uninterrupted payment
Of German casualties on a continu-
ously high scale.
Victim of Own Machine.
Hiudenburg has not Yet reached his
Moscow, but the basis of the strategy
that overthrow Napoleon in Russia is
now being used by General Foch un-
der modern conditions. Hindenburg's
progress in the west will eventually ex-
ha, t him. thru the too costly expen-
diture of human lives, just as Napoleon
progressed. but lost his man power, in
] ussia. Hindenburg, however. will
NOT >.uandon his quest yet. He has be-
come the victim of his own ruthless
machine He cannot guide it. He can
cnly feed the machine with German
lives and trust blind1y to fate which is
moving inexorably against him.

WHISPERS AS FILTERS
Germans Argue Over Virtues of Hir-
suite Adornment in Gas Attacks.

Amsterdam, April 26.-To be clean
shaven or bearded is the alternative
presented to the German first line
troops The reason is to be sought in
the gas mask. Some authorities hold
that the mask cannot be relied upon
to protect any but clean shaven faces;
others again hold that with a dense
hirsute growth within the mask acts
as an addition air filter. But it must
be a real patriarchal beard-nO mere
seven or fourteen days bristles, says
an article in the Deutsche Tageszei-
tung.
The writer holds that the full beard
is a peculiarly Teutonic attribute and
should be cultivated such. Besides,
according to ancient traditions, it adds
to "frightful aspect he naively adds.
Gas tests at the front in air-tight
cubicles are carried out every fort
night, and full bearded men testify to
the additional security afforded by
their boards.

Washington, April 26.-Speaker

ner,s proffer of the Missouri senator

of declination addressed to Governor
Gardner:
'I am profoundly grateful for your
tender of the senatorship, for your
good opinion thus evidenced is highly
priced by me. To be a senator, from
the imperial commonwealth of Mis-
souri, is a signal honor. No state in
the union has furnished the country a
line of senators of higher average
ability than has Missouri Therefore,
a senatorship at her hands is a posi-
ton not to be declined lightly by any
man.
Duty to Nation First.
''The duty of selecting from a multi
tude of able men worthy successor
to the great Senator Stone placed you
in a serious situation, and your offer
to me put me in a serious position.
q have thoroly considered my duty
in the premises, leaving out of the con-
sideration my own personal fortunes
so far as was humanity possible, and
have come to this conclusion:
TN this awful crisis of our coun-
worlds affairs-it is the imperative
duty of every man to serve the people
and uphold the government to the best
of his ability and in the position where
he can do the most good. 1 believe
that l can render. more service in the
speakers chair than in the senate.
Therefore, I feel constrained to de-
cline your tender of the senatorship.

Missourians who have urged me to ac-
cept."
Suffragists Urged Him.

er two days of consultation with po-
litical and personal friends. Mrs
Clark. to whose judgment the speaker
gives great weight, and Mrs. James NJ
Thomson, the speakers daughter
urged him not to relinQuish the speak
ership. Chairman Ferris of the Dem
Ccratic congressional committee also
urged him not to accept.
Woman suffragists called on the
speaker today to urge him to accept

ed to carry the senate for suffrage.

that the senatorship might be offered
to Walter w. Graves of jefferson City
or Xenophen Wilsley of ST. Louis
