The robin that at sunny morn
Is calling down the dew.
The violet with its purple head
Just looking up at you.
The grass in every blade that

These are my proof of God!
A morning ike we have when

A brock that down a mountain

The shore beside a sea
The opering of a maple bud.

No W orkmanship can match.

The Newspaper Reporter.

wv U~ssSf~H
It is the custom for the layman
of limited knowledge OF the
world and the people in it to
speak Of q newspaper reporter
disparagingly; to talk with him
condescendingly; and to take
unto himself an air of superiority
when one is near Reporter
he says to himself Oh, a repor'
ter is a young chap trying to
make a honest living until he
gets into some more business like
line of work; in other words. a
creature to be tolerated. Thus
is his own ignorance shown.
Yet we wonc er. does the aver.
age business man fully under.
stand the functions of a reporter
his business ideal, and the power
which he may WELD at times?
Not all reporters are young
chaps trying to make an honest
living" Some are old men
making magnificent incomes.
Several years ago We WEI e
travelling with one of these older
men, who has reported every
great " world event during the last
generation a man who shows
Intimately some of the great
otatasman of five countries. and
who paid income tax on yearly
salary of over $25, 900. A fussy
little chap, who looked as if he
might be a vendor of suspender
buttons on commission, came
putting into the smoker and in
Quired; -.
whats your line brother?"
And the old man whose name
was a household word among
readers in America and England
casually replied. "On. I'm just
a reporter"
1T must be pretty bad to be
reporter at your age" was the
response. "Well. | live in Cincin
natl, and if | can ever do you a
good turn, come in and see me "
The older man thanked him
gravely. Half an hour later the
fus sy little ma n telling the smok-
ing room crowd that "so.and.so
is one of the biggest writer's in
America" and there was so
and-so" sitting opposite him,
having been ignored after the
opening sentence because he had
the modesty to label himself
lust a reporter"
Reporter? Yes-they range
from the youngster just out of
college to the veteran Frederick
Palmer, who calls more generals
by their first names than any
other living mar; from the quiet
fellow inthe small town who goes
about his business without puff
ing out his chest, to genial Irwin
S Cobb, whom the Gel mans
thought important enough to be
:. .atenced to de- tn in 1914-but
W nom they didn't dare shoot.
We read many interesting
books, but we believe that the
most interesting volume that
could be written just now would
be one compiled by one of our

WASHINGTON. Dec. Japan has be-
come such a formidable competitor of
American industries that the question of

much as that Of shutting out Japanese
immigrants with an immigration wall,
several prominent members OF the Sen
ate Finance Committee stated today.
There are several hold over measures
on the Senate calendar intended to pro-
tect American industries from the extern

porcelain ware, shell and pearl buttons

1t is the purpose OF Senator Watson,
Republican. of Indiana. chairman of a
subcommittee Of the Finance Committee,
having these bills in charge. to call them
up at the coming short session. They
were all passed by the House last session.
The Impression is general among mem
bers Of Congress that nothing can or
will be done at the coming session in
the way OF any tariff or tax legislation.
Several leading Republican Senators de-
clared today if Congress found sufficient
time in which to pass the thirteen appro-
priation bills necessary to finance all
branches of the Government for the fircal
year beginning July 1 next, they would
consider Congress fortunate
The joint conference of the Senate and
House Agricultural Committee today will
serve to again focus attention upon the
serious agricultural situation confront
ing Congress, but a wide difference Of
opinion prevails among members Of both
houses as to what form remedial legisla-
ton should take.
There is hardly a Senator or Repre-
sentative from an agricultural State who
is not prepared to offer n bill or reso-
luton when Congress reconvenes Monday,
intended to offer the agricultural inter
ests some temporary relief, at least, from
the financial embarrassment and distress
from which they are suffering.

STEEL-JAWED BULLDOGS
(Flora Merrill)

I'VE are the great dog of the
English-speaking peoples, the Bull
dog of Britain and the mascot of
Yale. College men like us. You'll
find us on the campus of Oxford,
McGill, Queens, or Harvard. Some
of us are so homely as to be posi-
lively handsome. Take me, for ex-
ample. My face is one mass Of
wrinkles and l am bow-legged. but
no one can dispute my popularity.
1--WE Bulldogs come from Eng
land, and typify British tenacity.
No other dog has a grip equal to
ours. Our teeth once closed, wheth-
er It be the leg of retreating bur
glar, or an object held out in play,
the grip is almost unhveakable.
There is no fun we like better than
being swung in the air by leather
strap or other article, one end of
which we have clamped in our
jaws. Try good romp with one of
lis and you'll see how fond of play
we are. in spite Of our funny legs,
heavy body and ugly expression.

The Frontiersmen or
Saving of Bald Point

The sun was sinking over the
horizon one early spring day. The
birds were twittering their evening
song. A deer dashed across the
path. A squirrel scolded and chat
tered. jim Cole stood, leaning on
the barrel of his rifle. Watching
the setting sun, his thoughts wan
dered back to his home in the east.
His old mother and father who had
died but a week before, doomed in
front of his eyes. And he had come
to the west to seek his fortune!
II think l see smoke" he said to
himself, so l think l will go and
look"
At a distance of mile or two a
thin column of smoke rose up into
the growing dusk.
He started, birds stopped singing
and not single living thing was
seen.
A red glow was seen in the dis,
lance, and the tapping of the water
was heard.
Up he crept and he saw about 80
warriors who had crossed the river
bent on a raid against the whites,
and who were sitting by the fire.
Gray. Wolf, an Indian chief, said:
I'VE will join the main force to-
morrow and then we will advance
against whites in Kentucky"
AS he lay in the bushes he heard
Gray Wolf delivering this speech to
the warriors and mentioned the
word, Bald Point. But Jim caught
only the word Bald Point.
Il wonder what Gray Wolf
meant?' he said to himself
81 will follow that band and get
more information. ] will 20 and
get something to eat" he said to
himself.
He found good bow and a
culver of arrow, and seeing a
bunch of wild turkeys up in tree,
he shot one.
He then cooked and ate some,
and put the rest in his bullet pouch
for later use.
Then he found a nook and went
to sleep, and when he awOke, the
sun was bright. lie arose and ate
some CT the turkey he had killed.
Rifle on his shoulder he started to
follow the band OF warriors who
had three hours start.
After awhile he discovered the
path and started in pursuit. Noon
came, but on pressed the boy. The
warriors stopped to eat and rest.
and by night he saw a red glow OF
fire.
Jim saw about five hundred war
riors collected by the fire. They
were representatives of every tribe
in the northwest. Sitting under a
