three bears coming toward him. He
shot the little one and the mother

Edith and Esther

AuHl EulLu Was OHly Lille ySdl .
old, while her niece Esther was
nineteen. But Edith, being an
aunt, felt she must keep up the
dignity of one; and so she used to
treat Esther as if Esther were a
little girl,
They had not seen each other for
nearly a year: and when they met
Esther who was fond of mischief,
acted as if she were really younger
than Edith, though she well knew
she was ten years older.
Aunt Edith" said Esther, 'have
you any objection to my going out
in the grove to swing?"
None at all. my dear" said
Edith. "but l will go with you, lest
you should get hurt"
Thank you aunty," replied Es-
Their. "Now, let us see who can
run the faster"
Esther started off at a run to-
wards the swing. but Edith called
her back and said, stop. my dear,
you will wet those new shoes in the
damp grass and your mother will
blame me for not taking better care
of you. We will go by the gravel
road to the grove"
"Yes, aunty," answered Esther,
turning her head to hide her smiles.
And then seeing flower, Esther
cried. ooh! aunty, what beauti-
full flower Tell me what it is."
why, that is a fringed gentian,"
said Edith proudly. 1T is indeed
lovely" said Esther. "You must
teach me all of these flowers, for
we city girls have no opportunities
of seeing them, to know what they
are"
"Yes, my dear niece. I will teach
YOU" said Edith. 81 want you to
learn lesson of some kind every
day you are with me-"
Esther burst out into laugh she
could not control.
why, what are you laughing
about, my dear?" said Aunt Edith.
But Esther went to the swing to
escape from answering her Aunt
Edith's question, and said, "Now,
for it, aunty!"
Esther sat in the swing and Aunt
Edith pushed her. Then Aunt
Edith took her to the barn. But
here | regret to say, the sight of a
pile of hay on the barn floor was
too much for niece Esther. She
seemed to lose all of her reverence
It once. Seizing Aunt Edith, she
threw her on the hay covering her
up and said. "My precious aunty, l
must have a frolic or die. So forget
that you are an aunt, and try to
remember that you are nothing af.
ter all but a darling little girl"
Edith was surprised.

Papa came in and Selling Esther
and Edith covered them up with
the hay till they begged to be let
out and promised to be good. He
was just from the garden and had
thrown down his hoe, rake and hat.
But the hat suddenly disappeared.

was.

Louise Follows
Papa's Example

Louise always runs to meet her
papa, and flies to get his slippers
when he is seated in his rocking
chair. She loves dearly to wait
upon him, and she thinks him the
dearest papa in the world, and ev-
erything he does is just right. III
she only follows papa's example
she is sure she shall do just right,
too.
She foreets sometimes that what
is quite right for papa to do may
not be just right for his little
daughter.
Sometimes when papa comes
home from business, he finds win
dow, or a door, which needs mend
ing, or bit of carpet to be tackled
down. Perhaps while he is doing
this the tea bell rings. But he
keeps on with his task, and finishes
before going to tea.
Louise does not understand all
his reasons for doing this. She
only thinks it is fine thing to do
it because papa does it. So one
day she Gid the same thing. She
was making a pin-cushion, working
very carefully, as Aunt Mary had
taught her, when the tea-bell rang.
She did not answer it, however, but
worked right on till she had fin
ished the pin-cushion, as she had
seen papa do.
Then she went to the diningroom.
But asa Louise opened the door,
papa SAID sternly, to her great as
tonishment, Louise, go up stairs
and stay until we are done, as you
did not come when called"
Louise turned quickly, went up
stairs to the sittingroom and
climbed Up into a great rocking
chair. Her feet did not reach very
far over the edge of the seat, but
she rocked back and forth, back
and forth, just as fast as she could
make the chair go.
Il will never eat anything again
so long as live" she said to her
self, and she rocked SO far forward
that she almost tumbled out on her
nose. Never! and then my papa
will be sorry for treating his little
daughter SO, when she was only do
ing as he does. | will starye to
death just as the Babes in the
Wood did, and guess my papa will
feel bad then"
When Louise was thinking these
hard thoughts of papa, he came in
and said, Louise, you may go down
to your tea now"
Il do not want any tea, papa
rocking violently. But papa put his
hand upon the chair, and stopped
the rocking and said again, Louise,
go at once to your supper" And
Louise went.
But she was so near crying,
she could not eat morsel. II she
tried to swallow, up would come a
big sob. And glad enough she was
to go up stairs and cuddle down in
napa's arms and tell him all about
it-how she was only trying to fol-
low his example.

THE FOUR EMS"

The presence of the Duke Of Devonshire,
Governor General of Canada in Washing
ton, would seem to be an indication of
closer cooperation between the United
States and the Dominion in war. 1t is ex-
pected that more direct relationship be-
tween the United States government and
that of Canada for the solution of military
problems will be established as result of
the conference between the Governor Cen
eral and the authorities of the American
government.
British commissions have hitherto super
vised Canadian affairs in conjunction with
British transactions, but questions are now
arising which have direct bearing on the
war and which affect both the United
States and Canada.
The customary call which the new Gov
ernors General of Canada pay on the Presi-
dent of the United States was omitted
while this country remained neutral, and
while Canada as a dependency of Great
Britain was at war, so it may be inferred
that the present trip of the Duke of Devon
shire has a peculiar significance.
At meeting and reception of the Ma
tional Press Club, where he was honored,
the Governor General gave expression to
the close relationship which has been estab-
lished between the two countries. One
word, he said, must be eliminated from the
vocabulary of the allies. That is the word
enough" The word, he said, which
should be used with greater frequency in
connection, with men, money and NUM-
tons, is more"

RED CROSS IN FRANCE

Forty million francs, (about eight mil
lion dollars), will be spent by the American
Red Cross in aiding French civilians dur
ing the next FIVE months, these estimates
covering immediate requirements already
approved, taken from the report of the
civilian department. upon the work done up
to December 81, and outlining plans for
the future. The figures do not include
twelve million francs used for civilian aid
up to the end of November.
A report of Major Grayson Murphy. to
Washington, will show that thirty thou
sand refugees, brought by way of Switzer-
land from northern France, are now being
cared for each month. fifteen thousand of
these being homeless.
Thirteen thousand refugee children have
been cared for at Evian les Bains since the
Red Cross began its work there Twenty
eight hundred persons have been housed
at one time in Paris alone, while in thirty
one other departments in France livable
houses have been provided with some food,
fuel, clothing and furniture, by the Red
Cross through its own Offices in sixty
three cities an towns
In addition to its cooperation with
great variety of local agencies in treating
and preventing tuberculosis, in reconstruc-
ton work and in re-educating the mutt
lated, the Red Cross has aided the blind
and educational institutions, has taught
child hygiene and fought juvenile de-
inquency.
Homer Folks, director of the depart
ment, concludes his report by mentioning
his constantly growing appreciation of
the work undertaken by the French public
authorities and by private initiative toward
the amelioration of the misfortunes of the
victims of the war
1T is both an obvious and a pleasant
duty" he says, not only to aid directly
such organized efforts, but SO to plan our
own direct activities as to supplement-
strengthen and coordinate French ag
encies"

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

A league of nations to follow the war;
as possible solution toward preventing
repetition of the horrors under which the
world is now struggling and as panacea
to prevent the morbid influences naturally
resulting from the world conflict from
flowing from all European centres, was
suggested by Arthur Balfour, Secretary of
Foreign Affairs in Great Britain, speaking
at war aims meeting in Edinburgh, in
which he referred to President Wilson's
message as a magnificent pronounce
ment." He said:
"The United States have now for the
first time in their history entered the great
struggle of civilization against barbarism,
of freedom against tyranny. [ do not think
that these new views on cooperation in
the New World could have been introduced
In a nobler manner than that they have
been introduced in the public pronounce
ment of President Wilson
81 think that the day America entered
the war was one of the most important in
the annals of mankind, but it must be re-
membered that the pronouncement of Pre-
mier Lloyd George and President Wilson
contain nothing that was not implicitly
stated in the utterances of other statesmen,
including the late premier.
"The spirit that has animated Britain
and her allies has undergone no profound
modification. We did not enter the war for
selfish motives, and we are not going to
fight to the finish for selfish motives. [ can
see little Improvement in the attitude of the
Central Powers except that they now adj
NIT that it might be better for mankind if
in the future wars were averted. That
shows some Improvement in the moral tone
of the Germans, but so far as can under
stand German announcements they have
not begun to understand the moral horror
which their procedure has instilled into the
most recalcitrant students of German
methods and aims.
Gas to Belgium, Germany has unhesi-
tatingly and absolutely rejected that she
should do something to reconstitute what
she, against all international morality, has
utterly destroyed.
with power like Germany lacking
morality, none of the objects mentioned by
President Wilson and the Premier can be
realized" said Balfour. Il am not going
to discuss whether a league of nations has
reached the stage of being practical ideal.
While recognize the difficulties, it would
be mean and cowardly to shrink from them.
I hope the world at large will take that
great problem in hand and see it through"
