4 Jealous Snake

"Ophida" was not in a gentle
mood when ! called upon her. She
was doctoring a badly bitten finger
caused by one Of the snakes in the
show biting her. She refused to leave
the pit and dotcOred her own finger.
Such petS-well. I do not care for
snakes either in dreams or real life.
over al the glass blowing show I
met Robert L. Hutchinson who
knows more about the glass blowing
business than the bottle itself does
He showed me how easily it is to
take a piece of glass and by applying
heat change it into a beautiful face.
This is a good attraction for the
children.
In rapid succession I visited a
plantation show. numerous side
shows, the Hawaiian Village and
others. The Wolfe shows have
numerous rides. Every show under
the midway comes under the head
of clean amusement.

That is where I ate last night. I
was seated next to Gladys. one Of
the diving girls from the water show.

were taking a nap. Doc" pointed
out that one Of the lions had lost
part of his tail.
That proves that they do fight, ."
Doc said with grim satisfaction. We
then dropped over to the wild west
and rough riding show. Am sure
that several Of the horses are good
showmen because they seemed to
know just when and where to throw
their riders.

also reported that Don Phillips, the

TIE HoG-IT BREED.

| Temporary depression in the New
England textile mills is due more to
the competition of the southern mills
than to any one thing. Wages and
saw materials are lower in the South
!! than New England. But even this
handicap could be overcome in New
England if the American people would
be sufficiently loyal to American in
terests to buy American instead of
foreign fertile goods.-National Repub-
lican.
1t is too bad that the American peo-
pie are so disloyal that they will not
contribute still more to these million
aire manufacturers. who have made
their wealth thru the farmer and prod
ucer contributing to them, to k eep
their profits from being cut down a
little. OF course the farmer and pro-
Queer should voluntarily buy their
goods even though they do cost more,
since they are so willing and anxious
to aid and assist the farmer and pro
Queer. They are always willing to
buy the American raised produce, no
difference how much it costs just so
it is produced in America9 The high
tariff on these goods has enabled them
to increase the price of their manu-.
featured goods to the present figure.
But what of that7 Haven It they been
fairf They are willing for the far
mer to have as high tariff on his
wheat as he wants just as long as they
have high tariff. In fact, they are
more than fair because they are will
ling for the farmer to have high tar
iff on his wheat any way as that kind
of a tariff aids in bringing the price
of his grain down instead of raising it.

Someone clipped from a magazine
the following and sent it in under the
title e'The Dream of Mothers. 2,
No greater tribute has ever been
paid to the women of America than
is found in the report of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin which discloses the
fact that widows and self supporting
mothers sent 1853 sons and daughters
to the university to join the fresh
man class. Mothers registered SO sons
and so daughters.
Zone hundred and twenty-five were
housewives, five were nurses, three
dressmakers, three milliners, two ma
irons, two stenographers, one dram

eron, one musician, one retired farrIer,
one club manager, one business vom-
an, one caterer, one hotel proprietor,
one saleswoman, one beauty operator,
one Gamer, and finally telephone OPP

Mothers, as these figures witness,
will make the greatest sacrifices for
the sake of their children. They viii

Buried Chinese City
Place of Importance

The remains of an ancient Chinese
city, the walls of which, before It was
destroyed by Chinas first emperor
more than 1000 years ago, seemingly
inclosed more territory than is within
the spacious walls of Peking, lies be-
meath three or four feet of earth about
fifty miles south of Peking, awaiting
the Psychologists, writes the Japan
Advertiser.
About 100 years after Alexander the
Great conquered Egypt, or late in the
Second century B. c., there arose a
king in the then comparatively small
China who compared favorably with
Alexander in cOnquests and empire
building and whose empire lasted al
most until the present day. This was
Chin Shih Huang, or Shih Huang-Ti
("the first emperOr') whose rule, end
ing in 100 B. c., marks the close Of
the feudal period and the beginning Of
the empire in Chinese history.
Shih Huang-Ti subdued the feudal
princes, built the famed great Chinese
wall and successfully defended the
country against the Tartars from the
north, standardized money, transpOrta-
tiOn, writing and other things which
aided Capitalization and destroyed as
much of the ancient classics and tradi-
tiOns as possible, with the idea that
the history of the Chinese empire
should begin with his reign.

Selected Best of All
Travelling Companions

The Chinese have a fable Of man
who was once summoned to appear for
trial under an unjust accusation. The
place where he was to be tried was
far distant and the journey was long
and hard. Just before starting, three
disguised figures suddenly appeared
and asked to accompany him.
Said the first, 81 cannot promise to
go with you all the way, but l will see
that you have comfortable lodgings
and plenty to eat and drink so long as
l am with you" The second said, 81
cannot promise you these things, but
assure you you shall have pleasant
companionship, laughter and cOnversa-
tiOn so long as l am with you" The
third said, 81 cannot promise you
money, nor even pleasant companion
ship, but l will 60 with you all the
way, plead your cause before the
judge, and testify on your behalf"
After listening to the offer of all
these and weighing carefully their
statements the poor man decided tC
choose the latter. WhereupOn the dis.
gulses were removed and he found the
first to be riches, the second his
friends, and the third his virtues. I.
there any doubt that his choice was
wise?
