So out went Master Rabbit to catch
cells. He tried to slide down the Icy
road to the river, but he was sadly
torn, as his coat was not thick and
heavy like the otter's.
He reached the river, and, though
he shrank from the cold, he went
into the water.
He was cold, SO shivering and
trembling and dripping with water

MASTER RABBITS DINNER

"HE rabbit lived with his grand
mother, but found it hard in
Wintertime to provide suff1-
cient food for them both, so they
were sometimes very hungry.
One day Master Rabbit went out
exploring, and in the course of his
wanderings came to the home of the
otter on the bank of a river.

THE APPLE THIEF

q LASOOD lived with his father,
"A who had been the Kings
orchard keeper. When the
old King died small farm, a house
and an orchard were given to the
keeper. 1t was a good orchard, but
there were seven apple trees of SUI
perior quality, which were the joy
and pride of the keeper, especially
one of them which had been a gift
expressly of the old King.
One morning, when the apple trees
were loaded with fruit, 1t was found
that robber had visited the orchard
and stolen many apples. The same
thing happened night after night.
Apples were taken from the trees,
and the keeper and Alasood decided
to watch and, If possible, catch the
thief.
Before long they saw a bear ap-
preaching which, with great agility,
climbed a tree and began shaking
down the apples.
Back to the house the two men
went for their guns, but the old
mistress shook her head, saying:
II have had dream in which I
have been warned that it is the chief
demon himself who is robbing our
trees. He knows our whole subsist-
ence comes from our Plentiful supply
of fruit, and he hopes by destroying
it all we will fall into his power. Put
away your guns, for they are use
less against a demon"
Father" said Alasood, IT will go
In quest of this demon thief"
GO. my son." said the father. "and
/ will spend the time of your absence
under the tree which is still I'M
touched and pray"
Alasood soon was on his way and
journeyed on and on, till he came to
high steep hill, up which he labori-
ously climbed.
When he reached the top he OBJ
served large opening and as he
stopped to look into it, he slipped
and down, down down he went I'M
till he found himself in very large
house, and in a corner of one of the
rooms saw the bag filled with his IA
theirs apples.
He also saw the chief demon, the
robber, and so incensed was Alasood
that, without loss of time, he at
tackled the demon, and as he was
given strength by the prayers his
father was offering up, he was able to
overpower the robber and give him
a sound thrashing.
The demon cried and howled and
begged for mercy.
al will desist," said Alasood, eff
you will promise never to take anoth-
err apple and never modest any OF
our family"
"I'll promise anything" said the
chief demon, ''if you will only cease
your blows"
Alasood released him and, taking
the apples. departed. and as he left
the place saw basket dangling from
a stout cord which seemed to come
from somewhere far above.
"It is for me-" he thought, and
seated himself within-and up. III
the basket was drawn until Alasooc
was in the embrace of his happy pa.

THE MILK ORDINANCE.

copy of the proposed milk ordinance uniform plan to

Several important changes written into the ordinance
first placed before the council and evident that
there might be serious opposition to the in its present
form.
Among changes incorporated prohibiting hotels and
restaurants from serving milk direct to the customer in the orig
inal package
This provision ODE vigorously opposed in the next meet
ing of the member declared after the meeting
that would make living the

At least family style hotel in Aberdeen puts pitcher of
milk and of buttemk each table meal and the
hotel milk only pint half pint bottles would make it

tain lunches milk to patrons direct from fountain the

Always the good books-and now
the movies-exalt the poor boy who
bucks hard luck, retains sterling char
acter, and wins out in the end.
The poor boy is never allowed to
have any fun; he mustn't want to do
anything except work like blazes,
study in front of fireplace lido they
study there in summer, tool, and
keep the wood box filled.
The idea is that it's only self-de-
NAL and poverty that develops char
acter, and that the least bit of fun
spoils the whole show, ruins the boy
and knocks his chances of happiness
gelley west.

There's q cult that teaches that to
want anything better than you have
is all wrong. A boys chances for the
presidency are no good unless he is
brought up in patched trousers. Hard
ship is the stuff out Of which ali our
heroes are made.
Abraham Lincoln split rails, but
George Washington didn't. George
was highbrow, big land owner, an
aristocrat, and he liked good living.
He didn't have any patched pants, so
historians had to invent a myth in or
der to give him some youthful char
acter.
This idea that only poverty and
hardship and constantly resisting the
temptation to have q good time can
make character is nothing but Grade

be inclined to sympathize with Gov
ernor Blaine Of Wisconsin in his de-
mand that negotiations with the
French debt commission be broken off
unless France Immediately ceases its
warfare IN Morocco.
The Governor declares that easier
terms Of debt settlement serve to aid
debtor nations in creating and using
ornaments, and he says that In the
case Of France war settlements should
be used to compel cessation Of war on
the Riffs.
France is spending huge sums on
its army and in waging war 70 sub
jugate the natives Of northern Africa.
There is no doubt hut that the French
government would be in far better
position to pay her war debts if the
army was reduced and the war in Mo
rocco ended.
From what Americans can learn of
the Moroccan war, the Riffs are fight
ing for the right Of self government
as did our forefathers IN the Revo-
luton. They believe that France is in
the wrong and should make honorable
terms with the Riffians, who are as
much entitled to rule their own coun-
try as the French are theirs.
Certainly, France is not making
friends in the United States by its
warfare on the Riffians and it would
make a favorable impression here if
the campaign in Morocco was ended
at once.

The American trade union move
ment has accomplished something
more important for those who toll, and
to the nation, than the material i'm
provements it has established for wage
earners. More important than short
er hours and higher wages, far more
important than any material condition
which organized labor has established,
is the viewpoint, the understanding,
and the determination which trade un-
ionism has implanted in the wage
earner's heart and in his mind. The
labor movement has established the
conviction that the wage Garner is
entitled to a determining control over
his life in industry, as fully as he is
entitled to all other human rights
which are the inheritance of free men.
In the days gone by, when the
worker had no control over his life
as an employee, he was the helpless
servant of an arbitrary, tyrannical
master. He was compelled to accept
unjust conditions of employment in
the same hopeless, helpless attitude
which has led millions to bow down
in submission before a monarch's
tyranny. The great revolutions Of the
past overthrow thrones, and estab-
Iished political liberty in their places.
Countless thousands have died SO that
mankind could enjoy the priceless
blessings of religious and political
freedom, but the wage Garner dis
covered that political and religious
freedom were not sufficient to protect
all Of his interests. II
To those two priceless blessings II
was necessary to add another-the
right to industrial liberty, the right
to say how, when and under what con-
ditions one man should work as the
employe of another. This last great,
important right the labor movement
has won without the frightful carnage
of the battlefield.

EVOLUTION VS.. CHRISTIANITY

They have had quite a spree
Down in old Tennessee
About the origin of man,
If created by God
Or evolved from a clod
From a worm on the single cell plan
Then from worm to an ell,
As springy as steel;
Then again to the form of a whale;
And so by degrees
To an ape in the trees
Who hangs from a bough by his tail
Evolution thus ran.
Until primitive man,
With his club and his bow and arrow,
Evolved in his turn
From single cell worm.
According to Scopes and Darrow.
If sprung from a worm
To this mortal germ.
While this hot old earth was revolving;
We take Darrow to task.
And this question we ask:
Why don't they still keep on evolving?
The primitive ape
Retains the same shape
That he had when he first was created
Then how he be
blood brother to me.
As Darrow and Scopes have both stated?
Thy CREATOR remember
While thy days yet tender.
Seems to have no part in this plan.
But they try-without God.
To start from a clOd
With reptile, and thus evolve man.
We honor Bill Bryan.
He stood as a lion.
In defense Of our trust in the Lord.
As firmly and bold.
As Mryter of old,
He contended for faith in the Word.
Soon our Lord will return.
And our hearts fairly burn
When we think of their agnostic views.
When the trumpet shall sound.
With the goats they'll be found.
And I'd sure hate TO stand in their shoes.
