"No one in the party is able to elect
a man from its ranks. A man having

whose tendency is a little more to the
right than to the left, will be the NEXT
President. 1t is certain there will be
no Socialist candidate. This party

is quoted as follows:
"The new Hungarian regent will

Versailles that would modify her
claims on Germany, it mas been

set forth in London" that is, that
Europe must be put on a prosperous
basis. The French, however, 1t was

THE RESCUE AND THE REWARD.
(Proper Gander.)


The highest ambition of Johnnie
Phillips life was to rescue somebody
and to receive whole pile Of money
as a reward. AS he sat on the gate
post watching the automobiles and
horses 20 by, none of them, showing
any signs, whatever, of running away
so that he could dash out and stop
them, he began to think the world a
rather slow place after all. So slip
ping down from his perch, he strolled
around the house, into the pantry,
and stole a handful of cookies as a
reward for his faithful watching for
the runaways.
Johnnie's wish came true on the
very day that he least expected it.
He had gone with Miss Davis, the
welfare worker, into the slums of AL
bany, and was standing in the door
If a very dirty tenant house, waiting
for Miss Davis, when he scented
trouble. In the middle of the street
were a number of dirty, quarreling
children; among them cripple, a
little girl, perhaps dirtier than the
majority of them, was sitting in the
middle of the road with crutch ly-
ing on the ground beside her. But
suddenly she was left alone, as the
children playing, or rather quarrel
ing had scattered to all parts Of the
sidewalk and to safety; for coming
toward them at break-neck speed was
a runaway horse. In moment John
ME was alert. Here was his chance to
rescue somebody and get his reward
but a pang shot thro his heart, as ne
realized that this dirty, wretched, lit
tie child could not reward him. But
the pitiful picture of the little child
too frightened to move, appealed to
Johnnie, and pushing the other
thoughts bravely aside, he rushed
into the street and snatched the Grip
ple from under the very feet of the
horse. The people crowded around
him and Miss Davis called him hero.
Although Johnnie received no re-
ward in money, he received reward
that he would thousand times rath-
er have had, for his father said, my
boy, I am proud of you. Such a boy
will make man."
