PROUD WOLVES.

"Ah," said Daddy Wolf, 81 heard
something today which made my old
wolf heart feel very happy"
Tell me about it," said Mother
Wolf. 81 would like to be happy too"
aren't you happy" asked Daddy
Wolf in q most worried tone of voice.
That is. Mother Wolf knew his voice
sounded worried though we might
have said it sounded quite wild and
ferocious.
ooh, yes, to be sure I'm happy, my
dear" said Mother Wolf.
"Then why did you say that you
weren't happy?" asked Daddy Wolf.
"My dear, my dear" said Mother
Wolf, "you mustn't get so nervous
and worried. l am very, very happy
with such a dear and devoted hus-
jand.'
"That is good" said Daddy Wolf,
and those words make me feel better.
But why did You nsk such a thing as
20 be told something to make you
happy?"
well" said Mother Wolf, 81 wasn't
being as careful OF the words I used
as 1 might have been. You see, Daddy
Wolf, you said that you had just heard
something which had made you very
iappy, and so / said l would like to
be happy too. ! didn't get so excited
because you said you had just been
| made happy. And certainly have as
much of a right to worry as yor
have"
True, true" said Daddy Wolf

way we used certain words. Stub

! gave the wrong meaning and were
clad of it!
"Of course. I see it all now. 70,

out what they meant"
"And did you find out, Daddy Wolff"
asked Mother Wolf.
~ did indeed" he answered.
"Goodie." exclaimed Mother Wolf.
Lets hear it,
"He meant" continued Daddy Wolf,
"that he tried to keep the wolf from
the door-not in reality-but in make
believe"
Il don't understand" said Mother
Wolf.
Patience, dear mother. I viii ex-
plain He meant that he. wanted to
keep hunger from the door and he
wanted to keep his family and himself
FROM being too poor to buy good things
to eat"
$50 he didn't mean that we went
around to peoples doorsteps and rang
the doorbells?" asked Mrs. Wolf.
No." said Daddy Wolf, ''he seemed
to speak in that way as if everyone
knew what such an expression meant.
And it made me so especially happy
because it showed what q fine repu-
/ tatian 1--we have for angood appetite. 7
You don't think it means that they
think we're poor?" asked Mother Wolf
/ doubtfully.
'Oh, nc. my dear. Tn sure about it
| We are always hungry and so are
people who can't get enough to eat
But they can't always afford to eat
and we just have wonderful healthy
wolf appetites.
1T shows the world thinks We're
good and strong, yes, good and strong
It's q fine sign to have good appe
tite-that is if one is q wolf"
It's splendid to have such world
! wide reputation for health" sail

herself at once about the supper, 70

Solitude.

Laugh and the world laughs with YOU;
Weep. and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its
lnirtt.
But has trouble enough OF its own
Sing and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to a cheerful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice. and men will seek you;
Grleve, and they turn and 60;
They want full measure OF all your
pleasure,
But they do not reed your woe
BE glad and your friends arc many;
Be sad, and you lose them all:
There are none to decline your nectar
wine,
But alone YOU must drink LIES gall
Feast, and your halls are crowded:
Fast, and the world goes by
Succeed and give, and it helps you live
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

FLEW THE HEBREW STANDARD
Flag Not Often Seen Is Raised With
the Immortal Emerald Banner
of ireland.

AT the Funston fur exchange. st.
Louis, during the course of midwinter
sales, 1t was noted that the flag of the
United. States, Canada, Great Britain
and her allies were prominently dis
played. The great Jewish dealers who
attend the sales from all parts of the
world decided that the Hebrew stand
ard, the Oldest flag In, the world. was
entitled to its place in the display; and
to that end a committee of the most
prominent Hebrew furriers ordered
one, a beautiful white silk flag, with
double blue star in the center. The
white silk is emblematic of purity; and
the double. blue star of truth and fidel-
ity. With few appropriate words
A. NJ. Ahern announced the presenta-
ton of the flag to the exchange; and
amid the plaudits of almost four hun
dred dealers, the flag was slowly and
impressively unfurled from the stand.
The applause and cheering lasted q
full five minutes, everybody joining
heartily.
Not to be outdone, the Irish mem,
bers got together. and their committee
| ordered an equally handsome Irish
standard. Mr.. Ahern made the pres
| entation speech from the stand, and
again everybody applauded with might
and main as the Irish flag, emerald
green with golden harp. was unrolled
on the other side of the stand.
The general comment was that al
two flags floating together; and many
a one hummed under his breath-ol
| above it that old-time Weber-Field:
ditty: IF it wasn't for the Irish ana
the Jews"
Each flag bore handsome streamer:
of red, white and blue ribbons.

~ IS 10 Dc hoped that those who arc
predicting that the general rise in the
't'ccs Of commodities has abort reached
iis 1caith arc right ii their predictions
Fosters Dollar Index has made an in
T'wetive comparison Of the PURCHASING
power of 2 dollar from 1900 10 the
present time, presenting The comparison
IN iahnlattd form. The table was T. com.
piled from the worlds commodity
prices, taking as basis the average
purchasing power in the years 1900 to
goo, and fixing the medium Of ex-
change at par. 1t is shown in this table
that the dollar today will purchase less
than half of the commodities it could
be exchanged for in the first six wears
of the goth century. It's purchasing
power today is represented to be 43
cents and three mills AS compared to
year ago it has fallen off four cents
and a half. These figures relate to the
prices prevailing during April, 1917.
and April, 1918 The hopeful prophets
base their prediction that the turn has
been called ON the smallness Of the de
cline in purchasing power for the last
six months. In tho table the average
purchasing power Of the dollar in De
ccmber of last year is represented to
be 81 cents. Bradstrcet's agency in a
recent report lays stress on the frac-
tional rise in prices, and draws the con
clusion that undcrcurrcnts in the mar
set indicate steady resistance to a ris-
ing tendency of prices from now on.
In some Of the congratulations, great
emphasis has been placed on the effect
of government control of prices in stop
