him off his pony and few away with
him. Oh dear me. Wasn't that
dreadful, for it was Thunder Bird.
Yes. the dreadful Thunder Bird with
feathers as black as night and wings
as large as the sails on a ship. His
beak was like shaft of lightning
it was so sharp and bright, and
every time he tapped his wings.
there came a sound like thunder.
and every time he opened his bill
streaks of lightning flashed over the
sky. The poor little pony was so
frightened that he turned and ran
back to the little King of the Big
Mountain to tell him what had hap

No sooner did the little king hear
the news than he called together all
his subjects and commanded them
to hasten up the great staircase to
the very top. where the Thunder
Bird had his home. I'VE must res

of the Big Mountain, and in the next

A COM PARISON

The Railway Age calls attention
to a comparison between the wages
received by railroad employees in
this country and in Australia with
it's Socialist Labor control, where
the Government owns and operates
the railways. In that country the
wages are 81 per cent greater than
in 1913 before the war. whereas in
the United States the wages of rail-
road workers are ia per cent more.
Before the war the railroad union
leaders were opposed to government
ownership. Evidently they got
taste OF blood when certain of them
received under government manage
ment preposterous pay. though, as
the Age points out. the average pay
of the railroad employee is now
greater than it was under govern
ment operation.
Is it not probable that the leaders
are bitten with political ambition?
The alignment under LaFollette
would indicate this. They crave the
political power which might be used
by them IL they could weld the
workers into a weapon Of political
offence. They see that If the gov
eminent should take over the rail-
roads the next step would be the
taking over of other public utilities,
that in time the government en-
ployes would come to position
where they would expect to dictate
the amount of wages they should re-
ceive. They do not take into their
calculations what the rest of the
human kind might be doing mean

The passing of Senator Colt OF
Rhode Island removes one of those
men who gave cause for respect OF
the United States Senate. The
opinion of his political opponents IS
summed up by the New York
World that says Of him:
1.-THE loss to the Senate OF LIE
Baron Colt, who died Monday at
his home in Rhode Island, will be
felt nationally. His passing cannot
simply be dismissed as subtraction
from the Republican personnel In
Congress, although Senator Colt was
a steadfast Republican. For in mat
tiers that transcribed politics he
was, like the statesmen of an elder
day, a United States Senator first
and a Republican afterward.'
From such a source this is indeed
n tribute, and one that is merlted.

swered the toad, who, you remember
in the last story had asked Little
Jack Rabbit why he hoped after
him. Then, jumping up on a big
mushroom, he crossed one leg over the
other and commenced:
"Once upon a time there lived in

had two sons, and not far from the
Frog Pond was Toad Country, where
my father was king OF all the toads.
