 "Now, I was sent out to find the boy. They told me he was doing some fine things. He went in the direction which Joy had told him was the short cut. It was full of trunks of trees, would seem as though it would take longer than the smooth road-it was so full of obstacIes-which are big things that get in the way"
 And again was the one who want ed to go the wrong way" said the girl.
 You wanted, 1t Is true, to go along the road which seemed so well trav- eled. You thought surely this time 1t was right, and that we were trying to fool you. Sometimes a well-traveled road might be right-it Is a puzzle. But not this one For this one Is well beaten with the tracks of the lazy and the ones who have no cour- age. You took the right one, Boy, though you didn't succeed right away, and though others laughed at you"
 'I didn't succeed at all," said the boy, 1T got lost"
 "Not really" said the courier.
 "You are one of those people who believe in trying thing more than once. You didn't mind stumbling. In fact, you were pretty good sport"
 The girl liked to hear the boy praised, and she knew he deserved 1t.
 I'm going to see that all this trav cling you did gets you nearer the House of Secrets in a shorter time. You really wandered very far away, Girl"
 "But I don't want to leave the girl" said the boy.
 "Of course not" said the courier.
 Hell have to leave me, for I'll have to go all over the distance which he went over without me-" said the girl sadly.
 "Not a bit of it." said the courier.
 My message to you both Is this: I'm going to take you both on my horse-there is room. and we're going to go along a special road, down which I came this morning. You didn't no tice 1t before.
 'Tt was filled with branches and trunks of trees, but they've been cleared away during the night, and a new little road made around the ra- vines. I have so much to tell youI
 Don't imagine I'm going to re- ward the boy because he was good and leave you out because you didn't do the right thing.
 You're bound to make mistakes. I'll explain. Comet Mount the horseI"
 The girl looked at the kindly face of the courier. He wore a green cap which ended in a point, from which dangled three brass bells.
 He was tall and rather thin, and from his sleeves and shoulders and the end of his brooches were bells dangling from his handsome green suit.
 My name" he explained, ''is Coop eration. You see, you must have the spirit of cooperation, in your adven- lures. When one of you makes mis- take, the other mustn't leave and march on alone.
 "You must work and play together that's what my name means" he ended.

Michigan is the first state to offer a reward for planting nut trees beside highways. In Europe the profit from roadside nut trees assists in main- taining roads.

ernment will, send qualified delegates to the reparations conference in Lon don March l, provided negotiations are based on proposals which the Ger man government reserves to itself the right to lay before the conference" This acceptance being satisfactory, Doctor Simons called into consulta- tion a large number of experts in finance, industry and economics, and they proceeded to frame the counter proposals which Germany will submit.
 Premier Briand has obtained from the French chamber of deputies the support he required before going to the London conference. The chamber voted 395 to S3 to approve the repara- tions terms framed by the supreme council, and then gave a vote of con- fidence in Briand, 3S7 to 125. The op- position was led by members of the former Clemenceau cabinet. The pre- mier closed the debate with the state ment: "The fate of Germany lies in her own hands. Should she, after May l, 1921, refuse to fulfill her pledges the French government can be relied upon to take all measures to make her"
 The Hansa league, the great eco homie association of Germany, says many of it's members urge a boycott of French and English goods in favor of goods from America, and adds that the directors of the league may adopt the suggestion if Great Britain con- tinues to support France in the repa- rations claims.

Another senate committee on tion when it rejected, by a vote of to 4, the bill passed by the house pro viding for the suspension of immigra- ton for one year. Senators Johnson, Washington; Harris, Georgia; liar rison, Mississippi, and King. Utah, voted for the bill, and Colt, Rhode Island, chairman; Dillingham;, Yer mont; Sterling, South Dakota; Reyes, New Hampshire, and Phelan, CalifOr- mia, against it.
 Next day the committee began con- sideration of the Dillingham; substi- tute for the house bill, and the indica- tiOns were that it would be acted on favorably. This measure provides that the number of aliens of any na- tionality entering as immigrants in any one year shall be limited to per cent of the total number of persons of such nationality already in the coun- try, as determined by the latest cen sus. The legislation would not apply to immigrants from the American con- tinents and adjacent islands, nor to the Asiatic 'barred zone," from which immigrants already are excluded, nor to Japan, immigration from which is regulated by agreement. Some of the radical restrictionists will make a fight to have the percentage cut down, perhaps as low as per cent. In Washington 1t was said there was no likelihood that the bill would get through congress before March 4.

with the grievances were not a party to the national agreement.

Inspired by the conviction that the United States should have navy as strong as that of any other nation. the senate naval affairs committee re ported against the Borah resolution for a six months naval construction holiday. The report, presented by Senator Poindexter, said the commit tee was as anxious as possible to bring about a reduction of armaments, but that no disarmament would be of value unless it were general and, in the case of the great maritime powers, universal. "U1happily this Is not the case at the present time," continued the report, land we must deal with conditions as they exist. For one nation to leave itself exposed to at tack while another is preparing all the engines of war would be not only folly, but the greatest danger to the peace of the world that could be imag- ined."
 A temporary suspension of building, it was pointed out, would cost the gov ernment immense sums through de teriOration of material and dislOca- tion of contracts; would throw large numbers of workmen Sut of employ ment, and, by rendering 1t difficult or impossible to reassemble these forces should work on vessels be resumed, would give an immense advantage to powers that had not interrupted the construction of their fleets.
 The committee upheld the conten- tion of the navy board that, the capital ship is not obsolete. It recommended that twelve destroyers and six sub marines, authorized in 1916 but not yet contracted for, be eliminated from the building program. These IS ships were expected to cost the government about $55,OOO,O0O. The committee sug- gested the use of this amount for the. construction of two airplane carriers of the most modern type and of the most advantageous size.

Of the two great military operations in the Near East that are believed to be impending, one, that of the soviet Russians against Poland and Rou- mania, has not yet been started. The other, the conflict between the Greeks and theSFurkish nationalists, may al- ready be under way. The news from Asia Minor that comes through Paris is carefully censored, and advices by other routes are conflicting at this writing. There is no doubt, however, that the Greeks have been concen- trating large forces fer this fight, and that Renal Pasha also has gathered together most of his troops for what he hopes to make a decisive opera tion. Greece relies on financial as- sistance from the allies for this war fare, and without it she will have great difficulty, for her expenses are now vastly greater than her revenues. Chronic trouble-makers and trouble seekers are trying to find in the Greek operations in Asia Minor a cause for serious conflict between France and Great Britain; but there is no reason to believe that their hopes will be realized
 Walter Lyman Brown, director of American relief work in Europe, has been making tour of all the coun- tries in his Jurisdiction, and is skep- tical concerning the expected Russian offensive this spring. He thinks the B0lshevik government would scarcely .. that would lose to its cause the SUD- port of the workers of western Europe. He says Hungary and Latvia are sure the attack is coming, Poland is nervous, and CzechO-Slovakia and Esthonia believe the Russians will re- frain.

The loyalists of South Africa, head ed by General Shuts, won a great vic tory in the recent elections, and as a result the provinces of the Cape of Good Hope, Transvaal, Natal and Orange Free State will continue as one of the self-governing dominions of the British empire instead of setting up an independent republic. The op- position was led by General Hertzog, who asserted the right of South Africa to secede from the empire despite the act of union.
 In India a more liberal self-govern- ment was put into effect last week when Prince Arthur of Connaught ar- rived at Delhi as personal representa- tive of the emperor, King George, and issued a proclamation announcing the surrender of much government power to the native princes.
