"CIRCUS NIKE, THE BULL FIGHTER" 4

A shout OF horror arose from the
crowd. The bull seemed about to
charge upon the little girl and tear her
to pieces But the little girl arose,
threw off her shawl, and stood revealed
to the astonished Mexicans as a beau

Red Spot. nearly blind with rage
didn't recognize her. He was ready to
attack anything. Then Peggy begar.

the river bank. Red Spot grew calm
He lowered his head Peggy went up
to him confidently. grasped him by the
horns. and swung herself on top of his
head. He raised his head proudly and
trotted around the ring.
"A fairy! A fairy!" shouted the
amazed Mexicans.
The matadors not to be cheated OF
their prey rushed forward. But Nanny
Goat and Boston Bull were on guard
and in an instant the matadors were
in wild flight with goat and dog behind
them.
Peggy saw that this was a moment
to escape. before the Mexicans recovered
from their surprise. She drove Red Spot
to the gate. which Billy Belgium swung
open before them. Off they dashed
through the town and out upon tht(
plain. Behind them came Circus Mike.

back King Bird flew over head and
Nanny Goat and Boston Bull trotted
behind.

1.-TWO letters were on the preakiast
i table when Francis and 1 got down

the Farmdale postmark and one was
for Francis and one for me.
His letter was from my sister Lucy
and made him supremely happy-how

Nv letter made me glad--and also
LET me tell the truth-a bit ashamed.
Mine was from Mary Gillespie.
This is it:
Dear Friend Peter
Mrs. Kruger has done it yet again.
She's only had two kittens this time
but she's purring her delight all the
time
your mother, of course, insists on
keeninp them and finding good homes
for the wee little kittens. As Mrs.
Kruger's descendants have by this time
covered the whole state of Connecticut
we have to start finding homes IN New
York state. Perhaps Mrs. Semper might
like one.
U asked Mrs Semper If she did-she
did not, very emphatically.)
but this isn't the mostest importah,
reason for writing. Your mother ana
Tucv are due In New York next week
on a shopping visit and they've asked
mo to come with them-as chaperoh'
Iuc,- has written to Francis to arrange
IN meet us, and your mother. OF COURSE
exnects YOU to be there also.
"I'm sorry to say your mother hasn
heen very we'll lately. She wouldn
LEI any of us tell you, for she said ,sne
didn't want her dear boy bothered whiie
he was working so hard day and nish'

NEXT Tuesday we'll be in New York

Suffer for Sins of others.

"There is no sort of wrong deed OF
which man can bear the punishment
alone; you can't isolate yourself, and
say that the evil which is in you shall
not spread" says George Eliot in
Adam Bede. 1t is only too true that
we cannot bear punishment alone.
And usually our mistakes entail worse
suffering on those who love us than
they do on ourselves. Just as on the
other hand our successes and rewards
bring more joy to our dear ones than
to ourselves. mo man liveth to him
self alone"

Cloth From Bark of Tree.

The famous "tapa" cloth of Poly
nesia is made from the inner bark of
the paper mulberry When of the fin
est quality It is bleuched to snowy
Wilderness and fine as muslin. In trop-
ical Africa the inner bark of a legg-
minous tree is utilized in the same
way. Indeed, it is surprising to learn
how widely tree banks are employed as
material for clothing the world over.
And in the West Indies grows the
'lace-bark tree" which yields a deli
cate tissue so like lace that many arti-
cles of feminine adornment are made
from it.

About the Diamond.

The diamond is the hardest stone
known. It's name (French, diamant) is
derived from the Greek adamao-un-
tamable. The word was probably at
tached to the stone because it con-
veyed the. idea of invincible hardness.
No acid will scar it, no solvent will
dissolve it. Ages may pass without
dimming the luster of its adamantine
face.

CHANGE IN COURSE AT
YALE Shelf. SCHOOL

New Haven, Conn, March 20.-Dis-
appearance of the so-called select
course in the Sheffield Scientific School
at Yale will follow upon the decision of
the board of permanent officers as to
the degree to be awarded by the uni
versity to a non-Latin entrant and one
who does not include Latin among his
electives. A supplementary announce
ment on the reorganization programme
accepted by the Yale corporation last
Monday, issued from the office of Sec
tary Stokes tonight, says that the
board of permanent officers was re-
quested to submit a report by April f.
1t is likely that the entrant to Yale
College who takes advantage of the
new ruling which eliminates Latin as
a required entrance subject will be
given the degree of bachelor of litera-
ture when he completes four years in
the university. 1t is specified in the
new programme that except for those
taking the combined college medical
course, the 'humanities' will normally
constitute the major portion of the to-
tai work in the college.
In the Sheffield Scientific School the
"select course" has been the favorite
one of a great number of students who
desired to devote a portion of their en-
ergies to athletics. Its elimination
means that the degree of bachelor OF
philosophy will disappear and the de-
! gree of bachelor of science will be the
| only award. The courses for the ma
| jor part will be in the physical, math-
| ematical and natural sciences, with
Iadvanced algebra, solid geometry anG
| trigOnometry on the elective instead o1
| the required entrance list.

DR.. WILKINS INDICTED
FOR MURDER OF HIS WIFE

Long Beach, N. Y, March 20.-Dr.
Walter Keene Wilkins, whose wife
was killed with a hammer on the night
of Feb. q, and who told the police
that burglars had committed the deed,
was today indicted by the Nassau
county grand jury for murder in the
first degree.
District Attorney Weeks said that
DR.. Wilkins trial probably would be
held in May, shortly after the con-
Venjng of the next term of the su-
preme court. 1t is expected that he
will be arraigned tomorrow.
Mr.. Weeks said the accused physi-
clan had maintained his composure
throughout a long examination in the
district attorneys Office which pdeced-
ed the indictment. Only once, Mr..
Weeks said, did he show the slightest
trace of irritation.
This it was said, was when Mr..
Weeks challenged his assertion that
he had fled from New York only for
the purpose of consulting his step
daughter, Mrs. Odette Shepherd, for
merly Odette Tyler. an actress, at her
home in Washington.
Mr.. Weeks informed the physician
he had learned that Mrs Shepherd
had been in Los Angeles for eight
weeks.
Then, it was said, DR.. wilkins ex.
claimed:
81 have never had any accusation
made against me before in my life un
til these devilish charges came up"

SAYS JAPAN INTENDED
TO SUPPORT GERMANY

Washington, March 20-In an ad-
dress published in the final edition of
the record of the last congress, Repre-
sentative Alvan 7. Fuller of Massa-
chusetts, describes an interview with
M. Delaney, French ambassador to
Japan and attributes to the ambassa-
dor the statement that Japan was not
sincerely pro-ally but intended to sup
port Germany until Japanese mis-
sion learned how Fundamentally
America was going into the war.
Mr.. Fullers remarks, printed under
the privilege accorded members to in
sert in the record speeches not actually
delivered on the floor, concerned pri-
marily abuses of the franking privi-
lege. Turning from that subject he
told at length of visit to Europe
shortly after the armistice was signed.
MY trip across the water was un-
eventful,' he wrote. "I found among
my fellow passengers most delightful
person. who was no other than NJ. De-
lanney, the French ambassador to ia
pan. 1 took occasion to ask the am
bassador if, as a result of his ObServa-
ton, the Japanese were sincerely pro-
ally. To this inquiry the ambassador
replied very definitely, No, sir and
inquired Who in the world thought
they were sincerely pro-ally?
Ambassador Delaney stated to me
| that the Japanese intended to support
Germany, but after their commission
visited here and saw how wholeheart-
edly we were going into the war, they
were afraid to do so. Ambassador De-
lanney stated that he sailed from ia
pan to Vancouver, and when the party
arrived and learned the news that Aus
| tria had surrendered, the japanese
| members of the party were ViSibIy dis
appointed.
He likened the emperor and tn,
military caste of Japan to that OF Ger
many. He said their ideas and ideal'
were identical with those of Germany

BURLESON DECLARES
AGITATORS CAUSE TROUBLE

New York, March 2O-Postmaster
General Burleson in a letter made
public heer today, to Secretary of La
Dor Wilson, regarding the labor situa-
ton in connection with the govern
ments control of telegraph and tele-
phone wires, charges that a few agi-
tatOrs' are continuously conducting
propaganda which engenders unneces-
sary dissatisfaction among employees.
The postoftice departments policies
are misrepresented Mr.. Burleson de-
! clares, so that the impression is Gre
ated that the government discrimi-
mates against employees who are mem
bers of labor unions.
The postmaster general asserts that
equal treatment in the matter of
wages, conditions and consideration of
grievances is given both to union and
non-union employees, and denies any
discrimination has been permitted.
The letter of Mr.. Burleson deals
with a memorandum prepared by Felix
Frankfurter, chairman of the war Ia
Dor policies hoard
Much of the dissatisfaction which
now prevails the letter reads, lis not
due to any failure on our part to rem
edy claims as to wages or hours or
working conditions, but is due entirely
! to the few agitators and the propa-
| ganda which they have continuously
maintained Many of these persons
fave no connection with the telegraph
! or telephone service, have ma interest
in its successful operation, and thei1
| livelihood depends on their ability tc
| engender a belief in the minds of The
employees that they are serving them
which they seek to do by fomenting
| discomfort and dissatisfaction. In at
| tempting to do this they do not hest
! tate to- misrepresent our policies, the
| conditions existing in the service, ol
matters affecting employees"
