SIMPLE SIMON AND THE KING.

The King was in council, for his only
daughter was in iit of melancholy. IL
was vain to attempt to make her smile.
AS the King was old and there was no son
to succeed him, this daughter would
inherit the throne And none Of the people
would like to have gloomy Queen ruling
over the land.
"Your Majesty must either change
your daughters disposition or appoint
your nephew to be king after you, said
the wise men. And all, even the King
himself agreed that this was right So he
sent herald throughout the kingdom to
proclaim to the one who would make the
Princess laugh he would bcstow on him the
hand of the girl
Many sutors came, but all left in
disgust, for the Princess was only made
more sad by their silly capers.
The head gardener had n son who was
regarded rs so foolish that all called
him Simple Sinon. Now Simon was not
as silly rs he seemed but was, in fact.

Peter Makes Another Star
Ting Discovery.

Anxiously Peter Rabbit peered out
from the great pile of brush made
by the fallen trees deep in the
Green Forest. eff only I could know
| whether or not Hooty the Owl is still
| watching certainly would feet
better" thought Peter. Then I would
know what to do. AS it is I do not
know whether to go or stay. IT must
be most time for jolly, round Mr.. Sun
to begin his daily climb up in the
blue. blue sky. Just as soon as Mr.
, Sun really gets up Hooty viii be sure
| to go to his home in the darkest, most
| lonesome part of the Green Forest.
| and then it will be safe for me to
leave here"
SO Peter tried to be patient while
! Sun to get up. He squatted just as
close to the edge of the big pile Of
| brush as he could get without show
| ing himself outside. You see he
wanted to be just as far as possible
from Buster Bear. who was sleeping
o1 brush. 1t seemed to Peter that
never had he known time to pass SO
slowly. Every minute seemed like
| whole hour. That was because he
| was so scared, you know.
| But at last the moonbeams began to
fade away, and presently Peter saw the
first jolly little sunbeams stealing in
through the Green Forest Peter gave a
| little sigh of relief 1t wouldn't be long
now before it would be quite light in the
Green Forest and he would feel sure
that Hooty the Owl had gone home.
You can guess how eagerly Peter
watched the light peeping through the
| trees, and how he looked this way and
! that way for signs of Hooty the Owl.
1t was while he was looking up in the
treetops for Hooty that his attention
| was drawn to a dark in the top Of
one of the trees close at hand. There's
the nest Of Redtail the Hawk" thought
Peter. Il am glad he isn't back from
the south yet. II he were might not
| get away from here SO easily
Peter continued to stare up at Red
tairs old nest He did it without think
| ing what he was doing, because his
| mind was SO busy with plans for es-
cape. Suddenly his heart gave funny
little Jump inside him. 1t seemed to
him that something had moved up In
that nest Of Redtail. Peter stared harder
than ever now, you may be sure.
He vas watching to see if he could see
another movement of any kind He

PRES. WILSON TO BE HOME MONDAY
JAP EDUCATOR DE- CLARES DEMOCRACY IS
 GROWING IN JAPAN
Associated Press. Service.

TOXIC, --Dr. Inazo Nitobc, who is well known in the United States through his lectures in that country, warns Japanese bureaucratic states that country, among the Japanese people and that d high handed policy will precipitate an outburst of danger ous thoughts. In an article in Jap arse publication wnich has attracted considerable attention he says the bureaucratic statesmen are treading the path to ruin which was followed
 by the Tokugawa Shogunate states men before the revolution of 1868. The Bureaucrats he asserts regard socialism as a dangerous though, but they do not realize that there is a beneficial monarchial socialism when the King is the, faithful servant of the people" lntifis sense, pr. Nitobe thinks, Japan is the foremost champ ion of socialism in the world.
 Bureaucratic atesmen' he writes |denounce socialism as dangerous thoughts introduced frcm Europe and America. but most Europeans and Am ericans visiting this country are sur prised at the prevalence of socialism here to an extent such as can be seen nowhere else"
 Dr. Nitobe declares that Japanse bureaucrats are repeating in their at ttude towards democracy the same mistake they have committed towards the beneficial form of socialism. There is q sane democracy. he argues, just as there is a dangerous democracy. as the bureaucrats he contends, do not ditferentateS between the two. He criticiZes them for shuddering at the mere idea of democracy as if it i'm perilled the government and the Im- perial family.
 Everything appeared calm now he continued but it was well to notice that democratic sentiments are rapid ly disseminating throughout the vari- ous strata of society.
 Dr. Nitobe concluded: "Bureaucrat- ic statesmen in Japan are too blind to. and too ignorant of the new thoughts which are sure to spring from among the people who have awakened either with the advanced times or through their impulses of life. In conse- quence. they are calling forth still more dangerous thoughts. They think of nothing but repression and extirpa tion in dealing with the new thoughts They may be dreaming of sitting on their usual safety-valve forever but they will be able to hold the political safety valve only so long as the pop ulace whose innermost hearts are seething with new sentiments, re- mains silent"
