GEN. JINJUR's ARMY OF REVOLT.

GEN. JINJUR'S ARMY OF REVOLT.
Tip was so anxious to rejoin his man
Jack and the Saw-Horse that he
walked a fulr half the distance to the
Emerald City without stopping to rest
Then he discovered that he was hun
cry and the crackers and cheese he
had provided for the journey had all
been eaten.
While wondering what he should do
in this emergency he came upon girl
sitting by the roadside. She wore a
costume that struck the boy as being
remarkably brilliant: her silken waist
being of emerald green and her skirt
of four distinct scolors--blue in front,
yellow at the left side, red at the back
and purple at the right side. Fastening
the waist in front were four buttons
the top one blue, the next yellow,
third red and the last purple.
The splendor of this dress was al
most barbaric; SO Tip was fully justi-
fled in staring at the gown for some
moments before his eyes were at
traeted by the pretty face above it.
Yes, the face was pretty enough, he
decided: but it wore an expression of
discomfort coupled to a shade of def
ance-or audacity.
While the boy stared the girl looked
upon him calmly. A lunch basket
stood beside her, and she held dainty
sandwich in one hand and a hard
boiled egg in the other, eating with an
evident appetite that aroused Tips
sympathy.
He was Just about to ask a share
of the luncheon when the girl stood
up and brushed the crumbs from her
lap.
There" said she; ''it is time for
me to go. Garry that basket for me
al To &c ont
are hungry"
Tip seized the basket eagerly and
began to eat, following for time the
strange girl without bothering to ask
questions. She walked along before
him with swift strides, and there was
about her an air of decision and i'm
portance that led him to suspect she
was some great parsonage.
Finally, when he had satisfied his
hunger, he ran up beside her and tried
to keep pace with her swift footsteps
"a very difficult feat. for she was
much taller than he, and evidently in
a hurry.
THANK you very much for the
sandwiches said Tip, as he trotted
along May ask your name?"
81 am General Jinjur.'' was the
brief reply.
"Oh!" said the boy, surprised.
What sort of general?"
Il command the Army of Revolt in
this war" answered the general, with
| unnecessary sharpness.
"Ohi" he again exclaimed. 81 didn't
know there was a war"
You were not supposed to know
it," she returned, 'tfor we have kept it
| a secret; and considering that our
army is composed entirely of girls, -
she added. with some pride, lit is
surely remarkable thing that our
revolt is not yet discovered"
at is, indeed" acknowledged Tip.
But where is your army?''
About a mile from here" said Cen
era1 Jinjur. THE forces have assem-
bled from all parts of the Land of o.
! at my express command. For this is
| the day we are to conquer His Maj
| esty the Scarecrow and wrest from
him the throne. The Army of Revolt
only awaits my coming to march upon
the Emerald City"
"Well!' declared Tip. drawing a
long breath, this is certainly a sur
prising thing! May 1 ask why you
wish to conquer His Majesty the
| Scarecrow?"

But the Royal Army Of OF was too

onslaught. He simply turned about

The declines in COTTON ard wool a

The declines in cotton and wool are
breaking the prices of cloth, says
Forbes Magazine, and cheaper cloth
is bound to mean cheaper clothing
The war consumption of our hides
amounting perhaps to 100000, 900
pounds annually, is ended; cattle re-
ceipts have thus far exceeded those
of last year by z per cent; the hide
market is gradually becoming satur-
ated; and cheaper leather and shoes
are definitely foreshadowed. In all
types of clothing, however, one must
have the patience to wait until the
cheaper raw materials get into the fin
ished goods on the retail shelves.

PRIMATE LAUDED BY FRANCIS
FOR HISTORIC STAND

Following is the text of the address
of Ambassador d. R. Francis at the
banquet rendered Cardinal MERCER
in st. Louis the other night:
Mr.. POSTMASTER, Your Grace, Your
Eminence, Ladies and Gentlemen:
There is no man to whom | would
more delight to do honor than our dis
tinguished guest on this occasion. The
world has just emerged from titanic
struggle in which the fate of human
liberty was involved. Eight millions
of the youth of the belligerent coun-
tries were sacrificed in that struggle,
and surely no man can make a great
er sacrifice than his life. Many more
millions of those engaged in the
struggle, elsewhere, as we'll as in the
trenches, jeopardized, and would have
willingly given their lives to promote
the cause for which they were enlist
ed. 1t fell to the lot of a\few of us
to be placed in positions where we
could render such effective aid as the
distinguished Belgian, the courageous
Cardinal, whom we have the honor of
entertaining today.
Lauds Primate's Deeds
He is indeed worthy leader in the
great cause which he has espoused, a
noble champion of the church militant!
Yea, he is more, he is an able and eff
fectiev teahcer and leader at whose
feet all who boast of love of country
could sit and imbibe patriotic senti-
ment. His pastoral letter to the Bel
gian people of Christmas, 1914, is re-
plete with the same spirit that charac-
terized the epistles of Paul and Peter
to the early Christians, and at the
same time is imbued with that patriot
ic sentiment which inspired Jefferson
when he wrote our Declaration of In
dependence. In that pastoral letter,
he charged Germany with violating
her oath, and called upon the Belgian
people to not observe the authority of
the ruthless invader. He said:
"The religion of Christ makes of
atriotism a positive law; there is no
perfect Christian who is not also a
perfect patriot. Family interests,
class interests, party interests, and the
material good of the individual take
their places in the scale of values be-
low the ideal of patriotism. For, that
ideal is right which is absolute"
Verify His Eminence is no interna-
tionalist.
Immediately upon the issuance of
this immortal document, Cardinal
MERCER was placed under arrest in
his own palace by order of Won Bis
sing, until a retraction of the pas
toral is signed. But the German
General did not know the stuff of
which his Grace is made, as the Cardi-
nal not only refused to retract, but
became more defiant. This fearless
