pie the children wondered II he
would sing for them again as he
had done the last time they watched
him at his work. 1t was the song
about the miller's dog that they
wanted, but they found him work
ing on toy horse, and when they
noticed that there was something
wrong about the horse they forgot
about the dog. "YOu haven't got
that right, Mr. Hans" said Ruth;
'you shouldn't put necklace Of
sleigh bells around his stomach"
"Well, WE'LL" said the old man, "I'll
have to see about that; but perhaps
I was thinking about something to
eat when l put the bells in the
wrong place" well, here 1t is,"
said Ruth, uncovering the pie, land
we wish you a Merry Christmas"
"Sure," said Mr.. Hans, "sure 1t will
be merry, and you shall be merry,
too," and he took down bundle as
he put the pie upon the shelf.
1t was very interesting bundle,
but the children suddenly remem-
bered the song and forgot the bun
die. This was the song:
The millers big dog lay on the mill
floor,
And Bango was his name, oh,
A wondering what he lay there for,
And why he was so lame, oh.
B-a-n-g-ooo
Oh, Bango was his name.
The miller he said If the dog was
dead,
Why that would be the end, >oh;
Old Hans would soon him mend,
oh.
B-a-n-g-ooo
Oh Bango was bis name.
The special fun Of 1t was when
they spelled the dogs name around
the circle, each singer taking one
letter, and then all joining in on
the last line.
Then the children forgot the song
and remembered the bundle. It was
well wrapped, for they took off pa
per after paper, like peeling an on
ion, until they came to the girl doll
that could call for mother and the
boy doll that could play on mouth
organ. Then, with both the pres
ents going, they also went, leaving
a pleasant smile on the old mans
face and all the toys looking hap
PLY at each other.
Mrs. Jones welcomed the travel
ers back with a taste of her cooking
for themselves, and was as happy
as all good Christmas cooks are.
She said, "You can't make choco-
late almonds out of horse chestnuts
but those youngsters surely did put
in their thumbs and pull out plums."

self to think Of her many bless
ings or to frame even the slightest
excuse for the friend who had
failed.
Now, with Christmas approach
ing, she grew even more bitter than
usual. I'm not going to do a
single thing this year." she re-
peated to herself over and over.
Why should I, anyway, after my
great lOSs?"
So when the Ladies' Aid called
for an offering for the annual en-
tertainment and Christmas baskets
to be given to the poor she was
ready with her answer. But when
they left hurriedly after her curt
refusal she was more unhappy than
ever. mo one seems to have any
sympathy for my great misfor-
tune" she walled to herself. "What
a cruel world it is; no one seems
to care"
The window where she sat brood
ing opened out on Arbor street.
Soon after the Ladies' Aid left she
looked out to see that some one
was coming up the steps. This
time It was young girl, and Hulda
shifted to herself as she saw her.
Another who comes seeking" she
said under frightened lips.
But the young girl who entered
had not come begging. Instead,
she had come to tell Hulda that
she was the daughter Of the man
to whom Hulda had entrusted her
money and that she had heard that
Hulda was in need-that her loss
had left her stranded. Her father
had been Ill for several months,
crushed by the failure of his hopes,
all of which was due to the treach-
cry and deceit of his partner in
business. he was now better and
things were beginning to look
brighter. There was every hope
that no one would lose dollar. In
the meantime the girl came to Of
fer Hulda some money from her
own savings-she was private sec
retary to some big man In the city.
After the girl left Hulda sat hud-
died IN her chair. God how selfish
she had been-how blind-how un-
grateful Great tears trickled
slowly down her cheeks, tears that
carried away forever the bitterness
and self1shness that had been in
her heart of late. The world, after
all, was wonderful place and its
people were wonderful peoplel
Making her way to the phone,
she picked 1t up with hands that
trembled and called for the presi-
dent Of the Ladies' Aid.

the shameful capitulation of the Gen

and excused lack OF financial support

After bitter debate, the conference
adopted a resolution condemning the

CONVENTION HALL, DETROIT,
Mich, Oct. 12.-Latent enthusiasm for
Independent political action Of the
working class, thru a Labor Party,
dubbed to the surface and spread q
real class atmosphere for q few mo
ments thru the American Federation
of Labor convention here. But there
was no militant champion of its cause,
on the floor of the convention, and
the gathering passed quickly on to
problems not so heavily frslghted with
the call to progress.
Max S. Hayes, delegate OF the Typo
graphical Union, had failed to intro
duce a resolution for the Labor Par
ty, but he took the floor when a reso-
luton urging the cause of primary
elections as against delegate conven-
tions came before the gathering. He
didn't pay much attention to the pri-
maries, but Immediately began attack
ing the old parties and calling on the
workers to build a political movement
Of their own.
"Hobson's Choice"
1.-THE workers have come to learn
that it is a Hobson's choice as be-
tween the two old political parties"
said Hayes. 'In Ohio the workers are
confronted with this situation in the
contest for United States senator
There is Wilson, the republican, an
ultra-reactionary, and Pomerene, the
democrat, with his anti-union record
AS between these two the workers
can certainly not develop any polit-
ical enthusiasm.

but, want to say now, that still
have hopes that the so-called leaders
of labor, who are really followers
merely waiting to see which way the
crowd is going. will accomplish some
thing in this direction"
Hayes then told of republican bosses
in Ohio going out and making
speeches for the democrats, and demo.
cratic bosses making speeches for re-
publicans. He said this was especially
true under the so-called manager
form Of municipal government.
I'VE give OF our energy and we
sacrifice to build up our industrial or
ganizations," said Hayes, "and then
we realize what a pitiful position we
are in when we go rapping at the
doors OF the city hall to give voice
to our grievances.
IF you don't want 10 register and

ties, then for gods sake get out and
build up q movement of your own"

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. H.
Khan publicity agencies are today
working overtime trying to stem the
tide Of popular revolt against the per-
fidies perpetrated by the hooded or
der against the people of Indiana
from the time the lewd D. c. Stephen
son organized the night shirt brigade
until he came to grief after murder
ing young girl after debauch.
Those that Stephenson placed in
power are now anxious that he should
stay in jail where he cannot do much
harm as long as nobody is allowed to
spread his words on the printed page.
Forced by publicity to do something
to save their faces the Jackson ma
chine decided to rig up grand jury
investigation and Stephenson's asso-
ciates have been subpoenaed. The
jury will convene on Thursday.
Prosecutor Remy issued forthwith
subpoenas for several witnesses but
made public the names of only three
of them-all once lieutenants OF D.

SHANGHAI, October 12--Details Of
the capture of Wuchans by the Can
tcnese armies arriving here cause
great Joy among the Chinese masses,
who are especially joyful at the anti
cpated liberation of their own city by
the advancing southerners.
Fifteen years from the day on which
the first revolution turned China from
feudal monarchy into republic, and
in the same city Of Wuchang where
that revolution was staged, the Can
tonese national revolutionary troops
carried the walled city by storm, aided
by soldiery within who had been won
over from their reactionary command
ers.
For several days the Cantonese
fourth army outside the section Of the
wall held by troops from Hupeh pro-
vince, had been fraternizing with these
troops on the wall. sending them food
aud propaganda.
Wanted Only One Man.
On Saturday, airplanes whirred over
the city dropping leaflets to the be-
sieged soldiers and population which
stated:
"All the suffering OF the populace
is due to the ambitions of one man.
You who are starving have done
nothing. All we want is this one man
General Liu Yu-chun. His soldiers
may go Free"
The Fruit Of Fraternlzatlon.
During the night of Saturday, the
Cantonese fourth army troops, aided
by the Hupeh troops on the wall who
had been won over, scaled the wall,
and Sunday at $3.50 in the morning
they descended from the wall within
and rushed the Pagan gate while part
of their forces attacked at the same
point from outside.
A short fight and the gate was
opened, whereupon the Cantonese
fourth army rushed the two eastern
gates and opened them from within
and by six O'Clock Cantonese troops
were entering at all three gates and
fighting thru the streets. BY noon
they reached the river and northern
gates and opened them to the eighth
Canton army which poured in and
aided in the hopping up.
Troops Turn Against Generals.
The besieged northern troops were
in a panic Their generals fed for
safety from their own men to foreign
hospitals and church schools. While
his soldiers were tearing off their
northern uniforms and joining the
Cantonese, General Liu fed to the
Episcopal Boone university and hid in
the home of Dr. Sherman, the college
dean. ag
General LIu Gets His Reward.
Here the Cantonese found him when
sympathetic servant told them Of
his presence. He was shot by q firing
squad that afternoon in the assembly
hall Of the college.
At street corners for the next TWEEN
ty-four hours the captured troops were
being disarmed by detachments Of the
Canton soldiers and marching them
off to quarters where large share of
them Joined the Cantonese armies.
The Sign Of Civil War.
BY nightfall a scene such as oc-
ours only in civil wars was being
staged by the civilian population,
those who had upheld the reactionary
troops previous TO the capture being
thoroly cleaned up by other civilians
whose sympathies were for the Can
tonese.
So the forty-day siege Of Wuchang.
which is to become the capital when
the nationalist revolutionary govern
ment is moved there from Canton,
was ended.
