Little Miss SWifty's Mistake

but just the same yeu made a mis-
take"
What mistake did make?" asked
Little Miss Swiftly.
"You made a mistake in catching
that Hen," replied Blacky. Your
father wouldn't have made that mis-
take"
That's as much as you know about
it." retorted the young Fox. Il
watched my father catch one of those
Hens short time ago."
IT don't doubt it." replied Blacky,
"but 1t wasn't a mistake for him to
catch one"
IT don't see what difference it makes
whether he catches one or catch
one," retorted Little Miss Swiftly.
1T makes just this difference" re-
piled Blacky gravely. Your father.
Reddy Fox, doesn't live here, but you
do. He is too smart to bother Hens
near his own home Now do you see
where you made mistake"
mo-" replied the young Fox. II
don't see that made any mistake at
all. I've got a good dinner and no
one is any the wiser but yourself. So
I don't see that I have made any mis-
take"
Blacky shook his head sadly. How

Earthworms, slugs and insects are
eagerly hunted. They consume great
numbers of these. Being Of nervous
temperament, they need lots Of nour-
ishment. If you happen to be very
close to one of them he may decide
to sing-which is happy little chirp-
ing sound that you may mistake for
that Of a cricket. 1t always conveys
to the hearer a sense Of contentment.
Not until the second birthdays roll
around do the female salamanders
of this family choose their mates. At
this time they will join the general
salamander trek to the nearby pool
1t Is not always the one in which they
were born. For often the salamander
travels long distance from its birth
place, strolling along the wooded
places, happily hunting and resting
by the way.
Upon reaching the pool many, many
salamanders will join them. After
the mother has placed her eggs where
she from instinct is certain Is the
best place for them, she departs. She
fought her way from helpless infancy
to her present free estate, and will be
reasonably sure her children can do
likewise.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
On the Square.

TO BE or to act on the square Is
to conduct ones self in a straight
forward, honest, trustworthy man
ner-beyond reproach, above sus-
picion.
An interesting metaphor is this
idiom, the allusion being to the geo.
metrical figure so-called which must
be equal in length on all of its four
sides, with the four corners being
90-degree or right angles.
One OF the earliest appearances of
this phrase is in Chapman's "Iliad,"
published in 1911.
In this connection 1t is curious to
note a similar instance of such an
allusion in the expression, on the
level, meaning, f1guratively, straight
that is, not bent, crooked or devious
in character.

MISTAKE"
O moment. Then she darted forward,
seized that Hen, and with it turned
back behind the barn. Then, keep
Ing the barn between her and the
house, she made for the pasture.
Now it just happened that she had
been so quick in getting out of sight
of the other Hens that there was no
fright among them, with the result
chat they made no noise. So Little
~Miss Swiftly got safely away with her
Cat Hen without any one being the
wiser at that time 1t wasn't until
those Hens were shut up for the night
that that one was missed. Even then
the boy who shut them up was not
sure that he had counted right. You
Zee, it isn't easy to count lot Of Hens
moving about.
So little Miss Swiftly had a feast.
She didn't take that Hen home to eat.
She ate it some little distance from
nome. She didn't want any teu-tale
feathers around her doorstep. AS she
ate she chuckled.
THAT was easy" thought she. "1f
Z had had any idea that could get
q Hen as easily as I did I would have
had one long before. There wasn't
any trouble at all and no one is the
wiser. I'll have another one one OF
these days. Yes, sir, I'll have another
one. believe I can get one when
eyer I want one"
Now that young Fox had been seen
BIZ some one, and that some one was
Blacky the Crow. He alighted In a
tree near where the young Fox was
eating the fat Hen. We'll" said
Blacky, IT see you got away with 1t.

Then you'll understand the mistake

CD, Oklahoma, chairman of the

that the figure decided upon by
the budget would be near the
SIS, 100000 figure in this years
bill. In this event, the city would
be faced with even a greater def
icit than the one felt now.
Due to the hardships faced by
taxpayers in a number of States,
a sentiment has been growing in
Congress to force the District
Commissioners to raise taxes to
meet practically all of the ex-
penses and leave the Federal con-
tribution to cover any loose ends
that might develop in case added
projects, such as the airport,
swell the cost above normal.

TAX REVISI0NS
PROPOSED IN
MARYLAND

SILVER SPRING, Md, July Is.
Several legislative propos sails
which should prove of vital i'm
portance to other counties of the
western Shore of Maryland as
well as Montgomery will be ad-
Vanced by County Commissioner
Paul M. Coughlan at a meeting
OF the County Commissioners of
the Western Shore of Maryland
at Frederick. Md, July %.
The purpose of the session, &C
cording to letter received from
s. Mason Hill, of Cumberland,
Md, secretary of the association,
is to prepare for drafting meas
ureS for presentation to the 1887
session of the State legislature.
Road, Tax Plans Up
Commissioner Coughlin declared
today, that he would continue his
fight to have legislation adopted
at the coming legislative session
which will provide for a reasSeSs-
ment of all real estate in the
county, and to return to the coun-
ties of the State maintenance of
country roads. An earlier act
adopted by the general assembly
turned maintenance of county
roads over to the State Roads
Commission.
Former attempts of the local
commissioners, both during the
regular session and special session
Of the State legislature, to have
such legislation enacted have met
defeat.
Coughlin pointed out that a
general reassesSment of county
property would not only place
many additional thousands OF
y dollars on the county's assessment
books, but would also serve as
an equalization of assessments.
In other words, he said, prop
erty that was assessed during the
boom period and others assessed
during the depression period
when real estate values were In
direct contrast, will be euualized
In addition to this, Coughlir
said, he would urge the other
counties in the western associa
ton to aid in passage of legiSla
ton to increase the pay of the
county police, and incorporate the
many laws now governing the pc
lice under one bill.
Better Personnel Sought
Under the present legislation
governing the pay Of county police
according to the commissioner, pri
Yates pay ranges from $500 tt
$1,000 a year, while a sergeant
receives from $1,000 to $4,000 g
year. Each is provided with ar
expense account that must not ex
coed $500 year.
To obtain the proper kind Of
men on the police force, Coughlir
said he believed the salaries
should be increased until they
would range from $1,000 to $2,10C

NEW FIGHT DUE
ON D. {. SUM

Despite the fact that Budget
Director Daniel w. Bell, under
orders from President Roosevelt,
today is working on new pro.
gram of fiscal relations between
the District and the Federal
Governments, there is reason to be-
lieve there will continue in the
next Congress the bitter annual
fight over the lump sum contri'
button.
Mr.. Bell is working under the
provision in the 1887 bill calling
for a new survey which was Of
fered by the Senate as a sop
to the House to get them to al
low five million dollars to be
taken from the Federal Treasury
to help pay municipal expenses
This sum is lowest ever appro,
priated.
Even while this proposal was
being discussed, fear was felt
in some quarters that the Presi
dents report might be cast
aside by the new Congress when
it reaches the District budget
1t was pointed out that the 1897
budget message was direct eX
preston of the view of the Presi
dent even more binding than this
new plan. In the 1887 message
the budget director set $5,700,0 0C
as the contribution. The House
disregarded this at once, sub
shutting $2,700.000.
Although it was tacitly agreed
that the members of the House
and Senate Appropriation Com.
mittee would be bound by the new
figures expected in January, prec
edent bears out little hope that
this report would be accepted as
q hard and fast rule.
Agreements to conduct the Dis
trict on a $3.50 basis and the or.
eanic act setting the percentage
at 60-40 have been set aside con.
tinually. with the oft-repeated
phrase that each Congress is a
law unto itself and is not bound
by the action of previous Con
crosses.
In this manner the 18th Con,
eresS could in all it's power totally
pass up agreements made in the
74th Congress. If the setup of the
House Committee was materially
changed, the new men not being
party to the agreement would not
in any way be bound by it.
In event, however, that the re.
port would be observed in good
faith, there is little to base an
opinion upon that the District
will fare any better than it did
