THE FOUR PAWS CLUB.
Part VII

Mr.. Buyzard was pleased none the les.
by Mr.. Fox's fattery and showed IT
plainly. for he really thought Mr.. Fox
did think he had come to help and not
on his own personal account.
So when Mr.. Fox suggested that all
the foos be gathered together and placed
on the table MIR. Buzzard left the fat
goose and began to work with right
good wilI--which was tho very thing
that MIR, Fox wanted him TO do.
OF course, Mr.. Buzzard had to be in
vited to a place at the table and nll be-
gan to eat, and before long there was not
even n chestnut left, every thing was
finished to the last scrap.
Mr.. Buzzard then helped Mr. Ground
hog to pile the pumpkin lanterns in n corn
or, to be taken later TO the little ground
hogs for their supper, and he also helped
throw other leftovers outside tho cave.
Everyone thought Mr.. Buzzard n work
or and felt that he would DO an addition
to the club, but his looks were against
him and, while someone remarked that
looks should not count against real worth
still the club members could not agree to
ask him to join.
"If he would wear something on his
head it would not be SO bad. said Miss
procupinc, "it gives me tho shivers Just
to look at his head y

quite load off Of our shoulders when

said Mr.. Fox, land besides that he really
would not force his company upon us
only AZ such times.
Everyone said that was 80, and they
thought anyway that Mr. Fox rs prcsl-
dent Of the club, should thank him for
his help. If nothing more.
Mr.. Fox gladly agreed 70 this and
called the meeting TO order and then
made a speech in which he very grace
fully spoke Of the help Mr.. Puzzard had
given them. and said that while a club
where every member was expected to
have four paws was hardly place for a
bird they were all glad he had come 70
this meeting ANYWAY
But Mr. Buzzard took no notice Of
"this meeting, which MIR Fox had
spoken OF in his speech lie wanted TO
become a member of the club, so he
thanked Mr.. Fox and the club for wei
coming him 50 warmly and added that
If they would only lot him come 70 the
next meeting he would tell them story
that would he worth hearing
This last remark caused All the mem
hers 10 forget any small objection they
had to Mr.. Ruazard's appearance, and
when Mr.. Fox asked them 70 vote on the
question al having Mr.. Buzzard for a
member they all agreed that he was "a
come to the next meeting anyway.
"Of course, said President Fox, Il
cannot promise for sure, tut il your story

WHY NOT OWN THE
RAILROADS.

This paper has often suggested that
the best attitude for working man to
take towards capitalists is not to hate
the capitalists s-but be one!
In this land Of limtless opportunity
moderate success, at least, is in the
reach of every man who will pay the
price-who will observe the simple
principles Of industry and thrift.
In line with this idea we note sug-
gestion from the Type Metal Maga-
zine that employee ownership is better
than public ownership, 1t supports its
contention with the following argu-
ment:
There are two million railroad en-
ployees in the United States, with in.
comes averaging 81 500 per year.
IF each Of these men saved $50
per year. the National City Bank Of
New York estimates they could buy
control Of the New York Central lines
in one year.
They could buy control Of the
Baltimore & Ohio and the Erie in even
less time, and could control all lines
between Chicago and New York in
hive years. at present prices of stocks.
These figures indicate that the real
capitalists Of the country are the rank
and file Of the workers.
What is true Of the railroad busi-
ness is also true Of the steel. garment,
and mining industries.
IF each worker in these trades ac-
cumulated little capital and threw
this into common pot. they could in
few months dominate both owner
ship and management.
Why is this not done2
1T would be easier and simpler
than making a long. bitter fight for
public ownership.
do the wage earners distrust their
'wn ability to manage their industries,
'r are they unwilling to assume the
isk Of ownership
is there any reason to suppose
hat the public, which is mostly them
elves, will make any better job of it,"

QUAKER QUAvERINGS

It's the unexpected that always
happens, especially to the man who
brings it on himself.
Conscience never lies, in spite of
the fact that it may tell a man he is
right even when he is left.
The reason many man isn't popu-
lar is simply because he hasn't the
price.
seif-esteem prompts many a man
to value himself very highly who
eventually gives himself away.
The political machine is a great la.
tor-saving device. It enables many
man to live without work.

TELLS OF CONDITIONS
IN THE NORTH


A letter was received yesterday by
The Sentinel from G. E. Nidy, of
Scotts, Mich, who is a steady sub.
scriber to this paper and is especially
interested in Orlandos progress. In
his letter he tells of the conditions in
the North and reports it has had
most wonderful season. Crops have
been all good except wheat and
fruits especially have been so abund-
ant that a great deal has been thrown
away because of poor transportation
facilities.
He stated that there are large
quantities of garden truck and that
the crop Of clover seed will be the
largest in twenty years. All garden
produce is on rapid price decline
SO that there is no excuse for the Fl.
