was about to tell him story, there came
loud knocking at the door.
Who's that?" asked Jack o. Lantern,
and then he went over and undid the
latch, and who do you suppose was
standing outsider
Why, black swan, with a necklace OF
gold around his-neck
who are you?" asked Jack O. Lantern,
but he didn't ask the Swan to come in,
for he didn't know him, you see, ana
Black Swans are very scarce, even in
Fairy Land.
I'm In great trouble said the beauti-
ful fowl. II have lost the little gold
locket that hung on the end of my neck
lace, and 1t is SO dark l cannot find it,
wait until the Twinkle, Twinkle Star
comes out and then you will see it cas-,
ily," said Jack O. Lantern
Il can't wait another minutes" replied
the Black Swan, and he gave a deep sigh
and dropped his wings, for he was very
unhappy over the loss of the beautiful
locket. And the reason he was so I'M
happy was because 1t held the picture of
beautiful white swan whom he was to
marry on Easter day.
"Oh, WELL" said Jack o. Lantern, EN-
come out in the dark and help you find
it." So he took off the mantelpiece a lit
tie pumpkin lantern that had a candle
in 1t, and telling Puss to come along, too,
the three of them went out to look for
the lost 1ocket. I'VE ought to find II
easily" said Jack o. Lantern with grin,
for my little lantern has two eyesl" And
then he began to laugh, and IL he doesn l
laugh too much maybe he'll find the little
iocket by the time write the next story.

XXIV.
Humanity had been so outraged by the
war in Europe that one of the chief con-
Germs of the peace conferences was to
establish, by the force Of the league,
the rights Of man everywhere. This pre-
vailing sentiment was responsible for
article 20, which speaks for itself, and
is as follows:
Subject to and in accordance with the
provisions of international conventions
existing or hereafter to be agreed upon,
the members of the league (a) will en-
deavor to secure and maintain fair and
humane conditions ~ labor for men,
women and children both in their own
countries and in all countries to which
their commercial and industrial relations
extend. and for that purpose viii estab-
lish and maintain the necessary interna-
tional organizations; OBJ undertake to

some minds as to Just how and why Mr..
La Toilette had been ditched.
The Democratic convention in Balu-
more was hardly less exciting and here
again the reason was that intense and
conflicting personal interests were in
voIyed. Everyone saw that Demo
cratic nomination was very likely to
amount to an election. Both Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Clark hfd supporters who were
ready to yell and vote TO the last for
their heroes. The situation became
truly dramatic as Clark forced his way
slowly to within few votes OF the COW
eted goal and then slowly fell away
again until the charge Of the Illinois
delegation, under Roger sullivan, set
tied the battle in favor of the New Jer-
sey professor.
ODD POLITICAL TRIANGLE
SHOWS LINES OF CLEAVAGE.
The thre@ cornered vote OF 1912 shed
some interesting light on the political
complexion Of various sections of the
country. 1t showed that tns widest
cleavage in America Is that between the
West and the Northeast. 1t WAS the
wesr that voted for Roosevelt: that
marched TO Armageddon singing hymns
that, In 4 word. took seriously 20 itself
the nope OF FeluFeuaN4On OF American
politics and Of an effective program Of
liberal reform. IL was the Northeast
which stood fast behind Mr.. Taft, un-
affected By the winds Of chance aud
change. 1t was the solid South that
elected Woodrow Wilson, solely because
he was a Democrat IL was no more
carried away by the moral fervor OF the
occasion than~was the Northeast. In II
word, this vote demonstrated what has
become vastly more apparent since then
that the West Is the true home OF lib-
eralism and radicalisin In America. The
West believes in change. The West has
natural resources and Il wants rhem
conserved. The East wants the status
quo. The East has money massed In
private ownership and wants 70 keep II
there. The fact that the South IL Demo
cratic by habit and the North Repub-
hcan for the same season has slost its
significance. The sectional line OF po-
liticai cleavage Ia the United States, SO
far as there Is one, has turned at right
angles and now approximately comedies
with the Mississippi river.
