to know. 1.-THE water is spouting

I'm not exactly a plumber,

shut off the water in the cellar
Then will heat the poker red hot

bit of lead, melt it with the hot
poker and let the melted lead run
into the hole in the pipe. That
will stop up the hole and then I

Good If you can, do It," said
Nurse Jane.
ooh. can do IT," aswered Uncle
Wiggily, and he did. He shut off
the water, he heated the poker, he
melted some lead so that it ran
into the hole in the water pipe and
stopped 1t up. Then when the
water was turned on it no longer
leaked out.
"Hurray!" cried Nurse Jane,
"you certainly are quite a plumber,
Uncle Wiggily."
Just then there was shout out

and looking from the window,
Nurse Jane saw Jackie Bow Wow.
The puppy dogs tail was covered
with a coating of frozen rain and
looked like a living ieicle as Jackie
wagged it to and fro.

and hurried to the nest. Behind
the frozen rain that was over the
front door he could hear Billie and
Johnnie chattering in fear. I'll

melted the ice away from the door
of the frozen nest, and then Mr..
Bushytail built little fire on the
ground outside so the door
wouldn't freeze shut again. And

VERSE OF TODAY
THE BURNT FOREST.

Once these gaunt trees were young and green,
Forming a forest, cool and deep,
Where day and night man walked unseen,
But they stand here, charred and lean,
Like faded hopes that break our sleep.
Fair crimson flames have swept their leaves
And garnered them as nothngness.
So, through the day man stops and grieves
That beauty whom bright death bereaves
Must lose its subtle power to bless.
But twilight time these trees so stark and bare,
BY Immortality are blessed;
Then hooking death that found them fair,
Their blackened branches flame and flare,
Alight with sunset from the west!

New York. Jan. 19.--For the
first time in O week the stock mar

DEMOCRACY AND EDUCATION

A democracy reneWs and perpetuates itself
through its schools. Every man, woman, and
child worthy of the name American should
give, therefore, willing and substantial support
to the schools of their native or adopted land
confident in the belief that the privileges they
enjoy are due largely to the teachers of this
land; to whom ne sacrifice has been, nor is, too
great that men and women shall be taught to
carry on the ideals of the founders of this Ma
ton and the social practices that have progress
lively developed in harmony with these ideals.
There is no greater blessing to democracy
than an educated people; no greater menace
than an unsound scheme of education or failure
OF the latter to offer free and unlimited oppor-
tunity for the training and education of the
masses into the possession and enjoyment Of
the privileges which an enlightened democracy
assures its people. Outstanding among those
privileges is adequate preparation for the bust
ness of living. That means the possession of
strong body and clean mind, of technical
skill and method, of information needful for
the conduct of ones job or oneself in associa-
ton with his fellows, of Judgment and directive
intelligence.
Surely no less than this is the right of our
people, nor should be the effort of the Nation
to give through it's schools If this is true then
education now and in the future must COM
mand more solid and dependable support than
it has inethe past. For such a program of edu-
cation will be costly. It will mean more and
bettar-built schoolhouses; ample and useful
equipment in shop, laboratory, and library; for
Fairgrounds, assemblies, and recreation rooms
and above all it will mean teaching staff with
better understanding Of the motives that move
men and women in the conduct of modern
affairs.

SECRETS EXPOSED.

Some one finally says a good word for the
ex-kaiser The "some one" is Sir Basil Thorn
son, former head of Scotland Yard detectives.
Thomson, now lecturing lin America, and re-
veaIng inside stuff" Of the British secret
service, says:
"The (Germap) general staff had resolved
upon the invasion Of Belgium and they put their
plans before the kaiser. He vetoed them.
"This situation continued for 48 hours and
after the general staff had issued the orders
for the army to advance, Won Moltke went to
the kaisers bedroom at 2 in the morning and
asked him to sign the order. He refused. Won
Moltke then said that the safety of the father
land had devolved upon the general staff and,
If your majesty refuses to sign, the general
staff must take the responsibility.
'In other Words" according to Thompson,
"The kaiser must choose between abdication
and approval, and he took the latter course"
Thomson's lecture, instead Of absolving the
ex-kaiser from guilt distributes the guilt to
the shoulders of many, Bill included
A melodramatic picture of the death of Ras-
putin, Sacred devil Of Russia" is given by
Thomson.
Rasputin, taken to palace basement dining
hall, was given bottle of poisoned wine that
had been tried out on dog
Rasputin, when the poison got to him,
breathed heavily and foamed at the mouth, but
showed no signs of dying. So Prince Youssa-
pow, when Rasputin staggered at him, gave him
shot out of pistol, land the monk fell back
wards with terrible cry"
A doctor, called in, examined the body and
pronounced it dead. Later Youssapov approach
( ed the corpse and "put his hand under the robe
to feel the heart. It seemed to be still, when
suddenly Rasputin sat up and seized him by
the THROAT"
Youssapov escaped. Rasputin staggered to
the door, out into the snow. Three more pistol
shots brought him down. But it took bludg-
con to finish the work.
He died hard. You do not wonder, Youssa-
pow decided that Rasputin was the devil him
self. ~
Sir Basil Thompson thus adds few more
pages to the inside history" of the World War,
already contributed to so heavily by William
Homenzollern, Lloyd George, Franklin K. Lane
and others.
The Inside stuff is coming out on the very
heels of the war. That is contrary to custom,
for diplomats usually leave their memoirs to
be published after death.
We are fortunate It is rarely that genera
ton that fights war lives to learn what took
place behind the scenes.

JUSTICE IN FACT

The whole country will approve the policy
of Attorney General Daugherty in trying his
cases in the courts rather than in the news
papers. 1t has been the practice of some legal
representatives Of the public to make great
display in advance of the work they expect to
accomplish in defending the rights of the gov
eminent and bringing Wrong-doers to Justice.
Quite frequently, public prosecutors of that
type have given sensational statements in ad-
vance concerning the cases they have underin-
vestigation, but ultimate results have not come
anywhere near up to the predictions
The policy of the Department of Justice I'M
der Mr.. Daugherty is entirely different. AS
stated in his recent address at Canton, Ohio.
concerning war fraud prosecutions:
Without sensational announcement, publish.
ed notice or vain glorious promise, the work
thus was started. \ Up to this moment as the
directing head of the Department of Justice |
have never, in public speech or in public print
mentioned the name Of a man or a concern I'M
der investigation until the court proceeding was
properly instituted and the records of the pro-
ceeding had served as an announcement to the
entire world? 1t is the duty of the Depart
ment of Justice to protect as well as prose
cute"
This is undoubtedly the proper spirit for
an Attorney General to adopt. It is true that
trying cases entirely in the courts does NOT
mean the largest amount of newspaper space
or most frequent mention in the headlines
Often the ultimate success of a prosecution
could be aided by publicity that would work up
public feeling from which the jury would not
be entirely immune. Mr. >Daugherty has not
thought it proper to use his official position for
the purpose of gaining notoriety He has not
tllnchedin the performance of his public duty,
nor on the other hand has he brought ignominy
upon citizens without justification. Under his
management his branch of the service has been

WALL STREET AND OTHER THINGS

Wall Street-what is it?
There. are very few that know less
about "Wall Street" than l do. Yet I
hear every little while (every time l
get to thinking politics with anyone),
that this country is run by Wall Street,
or for Wall Street, and I often wonder
If they know any more about it than
do. Of course, should mention that
there are those that lay our troubles
to labor unions, Volstead, moonshine
or the Democrats. Not so many find
fault with the Republicans. There are
a few other sources of trouble too nu-
merous to mention, and wonder, won
der, wonder why we see so many differ
ent causes of our ills, and why We are
so sure that the cause we see is the
real cause and all the other causes
more or less imaginary.
Now take good, common, old-fash-
