sadly. "They knock round from

they're nineteen or twenty, they

Findlay declared.

Birds CARRYING Water.

How birds breeding in dry places
supply their young with water Is IL
Illustrated by the habits Of the Euro
pean sand-grouse as observed In avia-
ries by the British naturalist, Mr..
Meade-Waldo. The male rubs his
breast violently up and down on the
ground-a motion quite distinct from
dusting-and when his feathers are
awry gets into his drinking water and
saturates the feathers of his under
parts. When soaked he goes through
the motion of flying away, nodding his
head, etc., then remembering his fam
lily is close by, he would run to the
hen, make q demonstration. when the
young run out, get under him, and
suck the water from his breast-the
appearance being that OF a mammal
sucking her young. The young pass
the feathers through their bills, and
keep changing places until the supply
becomes exhausted. Until the young
can fly they take water In no other
way, and the cock alone gives 1t TO the
young. This practice has also been
attributed to the red grouse, and 1t is
quite possible that other birds whose
young are reared far from water may
adopt it,"

WASHINGTON LETTER
By ]. E. Jones.
CANCELLATION VS. FORCE

The Secretary of Labor in bis an
nual report recites that after nine
months of idleness 100000 miners on
strike resumed work without a
single change in wages or working
conditions. The Secretary follows
the line of his predecessors in urg-
ing upon Congress the expansion of
its Cancellation services. The right
of the Federal government to adj
just wage dispute has several times
been challenged in the refusal to
abide by awards of the Railway La
Dor Board. In the coal situation
practically every effort of the Gov
eminent to introduce Cancellation
has been defeated. The best think
ers of the nation have impressed up
on recent administrations of the
government their arguments for es-
t~ablishing courts and tribunals en-
powered to settle labor disputes.
Against this theory there has always
been arrayed the full power OF or
ganized labor with its refusal to sur
render "the right to strike" Poll
ticans quail before such an AIRY
of votes as are supposed to stand
back of the labor unions, and as a
result the problem has not been met
fairly and squarely upon IT'S
merits as an economic question. 1t
is doubtful if it will be for many
years to come. And until some
solution is reached the country will
continue to suffer from the i'll effects
of force. Humanity as represented
in the great industrial factors of
the nation seems fairly content to
continue its methods of fighting for
Cancellation"

smiled.

he said, "but just the hour | cannot

early, very early, but who knows?
When the mince pie is in the oven,
when the plum pudding is steaming
in the pot, when the big gobbler is
crisp and brown and nuts and raisens

when sleepy eyes are opened to be-
hold the tree and the laughter of all
the children echoes over fields and
down the narrow city streets, when
tender hearts, just everywhere, are

brotherhood, there will not be a

little lump will rise in mothers
throat and perhaps a tear in dear old
dads eye will tell us that thhe spirit

This year Santa said he will have
a gift for everyone, the greatest gift
in all the world. Of course he will
leave the toys, the apples and the
candy sticks, but the candy will be
eaten and one day the tin soldier
will be bent. The big gift is to
last forever. Santa found it in a

How much trouble the Venetian
women took to acquire the reddish
hirsute tint that is admired In the
pictures Of Titan may be judged from
this account written by an italian
chronicler In 1882, -
"The houses Of Venice are common

WE recently referred to an American musician who.
)" because OF her splendid ability to play the
piano was warmly greeted by music lovers across

Americas worth.
The American may be 2 boastful bird: he may
