 Woman should succeed magnifi- gently in business, she is such past grand mistress of finesse.
 T know pretty girl who once took the part of palmist in a gypsy tent at fair. A young man came in to have his fortune told, and the pretty girl, holding his hand in hers tenderly, said :
 "'Y6u have an extraordinary char acter. Your most remarkable quality is generosity. You hate skinfiints, you despise the money hoarder, and you look on avarice as shameful vice. A large and almost reckless liberality marks your path through life
 Thank you,' said the young man, blushing and giggling. You are fiat. tering me, I'm afraid.''

of invitations to foreign nations. Tn this connection it is interesting to note that score of new governments in have never before had an opportunity to join in great international eXpoSi- tion and may be expected to be eager to make ., creditable showing. Like wise in the Accompanying congresses and conventions for the discussion of world problems noted men possessing the best minds of all the peoples of the earth may be counted upon to be assembled and to render the occasion unique in recording the intellectual de velopment of the past half-century and mapping out what is yet to be accom- plished.
 The international phase has been stressed most aptly by President Har- ding. who sees new era fittingly sig. nalized "in which men are putting aside the competitive instruments of destruction and replacing them with the agencies of constructive peace."
 All races and natiOns," he cOntin ues, have contributed generously to bring civilization thus far on the way to realization of the human common wealth. Each has contributed of its especial genius to the common prog. ress; each owes to every other debt edged. This is the one debt which men may go on forever increasing, with assurance that it will impose no burdens, but only add to their pros. perity and good fortune. We cannot doubt that the great international ex much to bring to all mankind a feel ing of unity in aspiration and of com. munity in effort. Nor can we ques- ton, think, that in this era of larger corporations and unprecedented eag erness for helpful understandings there is peculiar reason for emphasiz- ing the thought of mutual support in all the enterprises which promise further advance toward the goal of universal good"
 When the Liberty bell tolled its i'm. perishable proclamation it sounded the death knell of tyranny in the Ameri- can colonies, but the peals have ever since been reverberating over the en. tire earth and never more effectively than in the recent years. In 1926, we may be assured. the Independence hall with the treasured bell housed in it cracked though it be, will be the most sought-after exhibit of all-the start. ing point of that freedom of thought and action by which man has been en. farther than he did in all the centuries that went before.

 EH6EyehiN8 Fairy Tale
BROTHER BAcoN'S IDEA
"NARY GRAHAM BONNER

"Grunt, grunt," said Brother Bacon.
 What have you to say for your- self, squeal, squeal?" asked Grand father Porky Pig.
 "Grunt, grunt, what have you to say? I'd like to know, tOO," said Miss Ham.
 "So would I, squeal, squeal," said Mrs. Pink Pig.
 And I'd like to knOw," said Master Pinky Pig.
 'As long as we haven't anything to eat," said Pinky Pigs mother, Tit is good time to hear what Brother Bacon has to say. Of course if we had anything to eat it would be fool ish to listen to him."
 "Very foolish indeed, sQueal, squeal," 1" said Miss Ham.
 Extremely foolish, grunt, grunt," !" said Grandfather Porky Pig. 'In fact I shall use very strong word. It would be idiotic."
 You are right, Grandfather Porky," said Sammy Sausage. "Yes, you are quite right"
 Quite" said Mrs. Pink Pig, "squeal, squeal, you are quite right"
 "Of course I am right" said Grand father Porky. q haven't lived all these years in the Pig Pen not to know that I'm right in what I say. l have lived long time with myself and myself and l agree perfectly On all important questions.
 But let young Brother Bacon speak, for this is good time for him.
 'I have an idea" said Brother Bacon. and all the pigs squealed and grunted and wiggled their little twisted tails and looked out of the corners of their eyes and winked at each other.
 "Good for Brother Bacon," they shouted. He has an idea. Hurrah for the pig with an idea, hurrah, hurrah. Three cheers"
 Brother Bacon didn't mind what they said He didn't even mind it when Grandfather Porky said that it would be idiotic to listen to him were there anything to eat. In fact he quite agreed with Grandfather Porky as far as that was concerned.
 "Yes," said Brother Bacon, q have a real idea, and I want to talk it over with all you pigs"
 They all gathered about and lis tened to Brother Bacon.
 "Of course" he began. "rm not sure whether the farmer would agree to my suggestion, and I don't even know if he would understand if I tried in my pig fashion to explain my suggestion to him. But he might, he might. I have ideas on how to ex- plain it to him."
 "What is your suggestiOn?" they all squealed. "Tell 1t to us."
 ''Yes, I want to talk it over with all of you first" Brother Bacon said.

 ficult to convince themselves that the marvellous changes throughout the world following n its wake could have been achieved in so short a space of time. This year the Declaration marks its one hundred and forty-sixth year, but already the scenes are being set for a glorious celebration of its sesqui- centennial, outdoing in impressive mag nificence even the epochal Centennial celebration of 1876.
 By natural sequence, this celebra- tion is to be held again in the city of Philadelphia as the repository of all the historic backgrounds and land marks. Here in Philadelphia is Inde- pendence hall, centering the group of beautiful colonial buildings stretching a whole block on lower Chestnut street. fully restored and preserved. Here the Continental congress held its sessions and here John Hancock in- scribed his name in his big, bold hand so King George could read it without using spectacles. Here is the famous Liberty bell that proclaimed the glad tidings throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof" Here are the quaint desks and well-worn chairs used by the fathers, and here is one of the original drafts of our American Magma Charta in the fine penmanship of Thomas Jefferson with his own in- terlineations and alterations. Here are innumerable heritages instinct with the sacred memories of self-sacrificing patriots to whom we are indebted for the achievement of our liberty.
 The enduring character of the re vindicated by the severest tests and most fiery ordeals-by the ravages of civil war and the burdens borne for the dOwn-trodden of other lands. Now after a conflict of intensified fierceness such as the world never before wit messed, the principles of liberty upon which our government has been build ed and developed shine forth more clearly than ever as the beacon light of new nations whose most ardent as- piration, however envious, is to emu late our progress and prosperity. If all this has happened in the period of 15O years, nay, if most of this advance has been made in the last 50 years of the 150. what may we not look for in the next 50 years? And how can we guide ourselves better in looking ahead than by reviewing what has been done through a survey of past achievements in the fields of science, art and indus try?
 This, then, suggests the theme of what is planned for the Sesqui-centen- nial exhibition as the capstone of the 1926 celebration of the Declaration of Independence. It is to be great world exposition illustrating particularly the progress made in the 50 years elapsed since the Centennial exposition. In that time things then undreamed of have been brought to pass-the auto mobile, the airplane, the submarine. the phonograph, the telephone, radio.

Thought for the Day

In celebrating Independence day. the anniversary of the great act of declara- ton, the American people have not always recalled in full the significance of the occasion. Sometimes they have remembered only the exaltation of the founders of the republic in their en- thusiasm of proclamation. Sometimes again they have remembered the sac rifices that were required to make that declaration an accomplished fact
