THE MEASURE OF A MAN

The place to take the true measure
of a man is not the forum or the
field, nor the market place, or the
amen corner, but at his own fireside.
There he lays aside his mask and you
may Judge whether he is imp or angel,
king or cur, hero or humbug.
l care not what the world says of
him, whether it crowns him with bays
or pelts him with bad eggs; l care
never a copper what his religion or
reputation may be; if his babes
half swallows her heart every time
she has to ask him for q five dollar
bill, he's fraud of the first water,
even though he prays night and morn
til he's black in the face and bowls
halleluiah until he shakes the eternal
hills.
But if his children rush to the front
gate to greet him and loves own sun
shine illumines the face of his wife
when she hears his football, you may
take it for granted that he's true gold
for his home is heaven and the hum
bug never gets that near the great
white throne OF God.
| can forgive much in that fellow
mortal who would rather make men
rather have the hate of the whole he
world than the contempt of his wife;
who would call anger to eyes of a
king than to bring fear to the face of
little child.-Selected

PORcUPINE PARTY

The hairy badger from South Africa
had had his dinner. Then he had had
a delightful bath or spray from the
hose The keeper had given him this
and he had enjoyed it even more than
the visitors who had looked on.
The hairy badger thought he was
very polite to let such lot of people
watch him having his bath. Yes, he
thought he was most obliging.
The white-nosed coati-mundi from
South America was having a beauti-
full time talking in his own granting
fashion to one of the visitors who had
come to the zoo.
He had had a nice dinner and was
feeling particularly well.
He had had a little chopped beef
too with the rest of his dinner.
And it was nice to be a great pet.
Oh yes. that was particularly nice.
The striped tailed dog and the white
throated 'sapajou were together. as
they always were. The white throated
sapajou looks exactly like a monkey
ana Is IlJJle animal from S0urn
America
The sapajou is just like a monkey
in all his looks.
The sapajOu had had his dinner and
he had had little meat, for he was
quite fond of that. Everything he had
had he had put first in his pan of
water in much the way the raccOon
family will wash all their food.
Now the sapajou and the striped
tailed dog had become great friends.

No one knew just why. But the best
of friends they were.
And so they lived together in their
ZOO home as they had always been to-
gether since they had first seen each
other.
How happy they were together, too!
Only it puzzled people to see the sapa-
jou and the dog in little ZOO home
side by side.
The sapajou was much interested in
the visitors aud sat up close so he
could see them all and his little eyes
looked so amused and as though he
were enjoying himself so much.
He grinned at the keeper every time
the keeper went by and the keeper
would speak to him and the sapajou
would look much pleased.
The striped-tailed dog, too, had come
from South America. And as the
sapajou watched the people he said
to himself, This is wonderful show
seeing all the people pass along.
and gracious me, how many chill
dren there are! Well, must say /
find grown-ups and children very
amusing to watch. Yes, they cheer
me up-altogether l really am always
very cheerful. But they make me feel
so jolly and so amused"
Now, while all these animals were
enjoying themselves in their various
ways the four yellow-haired porcu-
pines were having a party.
And they were not paying a scrap
of attention to the visitors. They sat
in a circle with their backs turned
to the people.
In the very center of the circle was
a little BABY p0rcupine. And more
cunning little creature you never could
see, I'm Surel
He was very small-not so very
much bigger than guinea pig and yet
his parents were such enormously big
porcupines.
All of the four porcupines were very,
very large.
The little one was sitting up too,
just the way they all did and he was
nibbling at lettuce and carrots and
eating very grown-up food for little
fellow only two weeks old.
For that was all he was. His par
ents had been born in Alaska and his
uncle and aunt had been born in the
United States but he had been born
in the zoo and he found it was very
NICE
A little porcupine is like little
guinea pig in the way it can eat any,
thing right away.
There was a splendid feast for the
porcupines and some of them were
finishing off with a dessert of bread
which many of the animals like as
dessert
Oh, yes, it was real porcupine
party but the one who felt like the
guest of honor was the dear little
baby porcupine with his funny little
black body and his poor little at
tempts at quilts.
But some day he would have enor.
nous ones like his parents. In the
meantime it was enough to eat and
eat and enjoy life. And the people
looked through a space between two
of the porcupines so they could see
the little, little, little fellow of the
goo.

cial farm groups, particularly in the
West.
The average farmer. laboring under
the delusion that the so called farm
bloc in Congress is using its power to
improve agricultural conditions gener-
ally probably would be surprised at
the negligible benefits all farmers act
ually will receive. He probably would
be astounded to find out that while
agricultural interests generally did not
realize many benefits a few favored
elements will gain advantages of tre-
mendous value.
Democratic members Of the bloc
who are beginning to appraise the true
values of the agricultural group
scheme in Congress are becoming ex-
tremely skeptical Of the glowing prom
isss made by their Republican asso-
ciates Up to date concessions of value
to agricultural interests and Demo-
cratic statesmen, particularly those of
the South, could be put in peanut
shell, as compared with those which
fill the Republican hoppers.
Members of the agricultural bloc on
the Democratic side of the Senate
chamber. sensing the possibility Of a
double cross" now display a tendency
to line up with their party on a
straight political basis. and not few
of the plans of the Republican pro-
moters of the agricultural bloc have,
as consequence, been frustrated and
in few instances abandoned.
According to some Democratic critics
of the bloc the most aggressive and
loquacious of the Republican leaders
in the scheme have displayed much
more interest in promoting lumber
power, warehouse and irrigations
schemes controlled by powerful finan-
cial groups throughout the West than
gaining for all farmers greatly desired
benefits.
Most Of the farm organizations
which maintain aggressive lobbies at
Washington for the ostensible pur-
pose of safeguarding the interests OF
farmers generally have been revealed
as the representatives Of special agri-
cultural. and, 1t is suspected. industrial
monopoiies which prey upon rather

energy in securing individual prefer
ment in politics, soft places on the
Government payroll" or by skillful ac-
celeration, the winning Of tremendous
ly prosperous concessions sought by
their wealthy and powerful patrons.
Views in Conflict.
Farm newspapers and periodicals
appear to attach less Importance to
the policy of uniform cooperation
than they urge on the part OF their
legislative representatives afiiliated
with the agricultural bloc. Some of
these newspapers reflect conflicting
views and propose so called reforms
really designed to advance the inter-
ests OF specially favored groups or in
dividuals.
The policy advocated by the agricul-
tural bloc in regard to the Federal
Reserve system is case in point. The
farm blocs In Congress even now boast
of having compelled President Har-
ding to assent to their demand that
"a dirt farmer" be placed on the Fed
eral Reserve Board. The controversy
between the President and leaders of
the bloc regarding the terms OF the
bill adding another member to the
reserve system finally ended IN q
compromise which eliminated direct
reference to agricultural interferences'
1t is asserted by the leaders of the
bloc, however, that the agreed" to
compromise finally was effected upon
the assurance of the President that
he would appoint an agriculturalist to
the new place. There is intense riv-
airy for this job. 1t is significant that
despite the "non-partisan" or "bi-par-
tisan" pretensions- of the Republican
leaders of the farm bloc, all the candi-
Gates for 1t are Republicans and are
being supported by the Senators who
describe themselves as Republicans.
Republican leaders in the agricul-
tural bloc active in the two houses
complain of apathy on the part OF
their Democratic conferees. Several
Democratic Senators and Representa-
tives who went into the agricultural
bloc believing 1t would be non-par.
tisan--or bi-partisan--say the reason
for their apparent Indifference is the
manifest purpose Of their Republican
associates to grab all the cream"

mitted through them. American public

1t is probable that instructions 10 de-

THE action taken in 1917 wholly ex-
cluded Germany from the wireless field
in America and probably prevented the
formation of a German controlled wire
less monopoly, for at that time the
Telefunken interests were dealing with
De Forest, with Marconi and with the
National Electric Signaling Company
toward a consolidation which would put
an end to ruinous patent litigations, and
in these plans the Telefunken company
was to have a majority of the stock of
the holding company. We blocked that
scheme and we freed our Government
from the domination of any privately
owned system What the present Gov
ernment proposes is to restore this pri-
vate domination. Well, Congress and
