The opposition to the administration in this congress does not seem to care how much it impairs the revenue if it can only force the president to make a record which they think will injure republican prospects before the coun- try. It is a political play with a very serious matter. It is not strange that Congressman Payne of New York, the sponsor for the present tariff, got excited when he saw the careless way things were be- ing done, rose in his place, and ex- claimed, with reference to the proposed new wool and cotton tari “What are you passing this bill for? Do you expect it to become a law? You are trying to put the president in a hole, are you? Why, if you send bills to him from now until December 1, it will not be a marker by way of pufting the president in a hole. That gentleman, a statesman of brains and man of character, has certain settied convictions; and one of them is in favor of a tariff board: for collecting evidence and using it in the making of schedules. Do you suppose you em- barrass him by sending these crude, ill-examined bills to the White house? Why, he has the greatest opportunity that a president has ever had in years to stand up to the convictions which he has so long espoused by vetoing these measures one after another.” The twenty-six republicans who by their votes assisted in this work will find 1t difficult to explain to their con- stituents satisfactorily why they aided the enemy in such a bald-faced polit- lcal scheme against the president and their own party. WHERE SAGE LOST. The death of Willlam B. Laidlaw in the home for incurables in New York on Tuesday s the attempt made upon Mr. Sage's life, when he held one of his clerks by the hand and made a buffer of his body, which, when the bomb exploded, received more than 100 wounds, and from the shock of which he always remained an incurable invalid. Public sympathy was then with the who poor, young man attempted to get some compensation from his em- plover. Russell Bage denied that he detained the young man or was in any wa re- sponsible for his injuries and he- felt no legal or moral obligation to do anything for hims With his millions he turned aside a verdict of $40,000 rendered in behalf of Laidlaw, and for twenty years th man s been a suf- fering, dependent i id. Russell Sage, with his $70,000,000 never paid Laidlaw one penny, but contitued in the cold-blooded spirit which is anarchy’s best excuse and de- fence till the end. All the good the Sage millions ecan do will not wipe out this one black mark in his career. The man who lacks sympathy and gratitude is poor, indeed WORK AND DRINK. Someone has dared to assert that it is not play, but work, that impels men to drink. Whoever made the assertion dared not sign his‘name to it, and we are firm in the opinion that he did not know what he was talking about. e cannot have used his powers of obser- vation. If &z had, he must have seen for himseif that it is the loafers who do the most drinking, and the men who work do the least of it.

Instead of being the master of himself he is mastered by John Barleycorn, who knows no mercy end qualifies a man to commit any crime within ‘the knowledge of the courts. Men who rush to drink from any provecation do so voluntarily and nd are willing victims. Drink 1s not a solack, but a thief wh'cn steals from men every good principle and every good quality.

Of course, the readers of the papers are surprised that the vice president should take sides with Taft's enemies, who, by the way, are growing fewer every day. That “Sunny Jim” Sher- mapn should say to the country upon which he has always smiled that “a great sadness” has come over him because conditions for the people are going to be bettered if the conditions for certain trusts are not, is amusing to the people. . Is James making a bid for a possible nomination under what appear to be to the public impas- sible. conditions? Mr. Sherman never was a strong Taft man—he belongs to the compro- mise wing of the republican party and enjoved the favor cf the entire anti-Roosevelt and anti-Taft crowd. Most anything conld have been ox- pected except that “a great sadness” should come over him. I.ct us hope he will not brood himself to death. EDITORIAL NOTES. The cautious man has not yet made his pennant predictions. There is time enough yet to guess, and guess right. In the field of a million patents there do not seem to be many great names looming up.

We made three dresses for each doll; and sister chose dark red. I liked the white one better, and the pale, pale amethyst. We always tried to choose them where they would not soon be missed. When we had made them hats to fit, of brightly colored palox, We danced our dollies up and down the high nasturtiumed rocks.

Uncle Jed received a picture card from Richard W. Tobin, Jr., Monday, representing a pretty point on the Grand River Beaupre,s where he is spending his vacation, He wrote: “Dear Uncle Jed: 1 am on_the banks of the Beaupre, Quebec. Tt is delightful here. Will write about it when I get home. Best wishes to Un- cle Jed and The Bulletin. “RICHARD W. TOBIN, JR.” We wondered why Master Tobin had not called for the last book he won. It will be all ready for him when he arrives in Norwich. UNCLE JED'S CHAT WITH THE LITTLE FOLKS. Uncle Jed was somewhat surprised last week to received a continued story from o little miss of 13 entitled “The Babe in the Manger,” and at the end, “To be continued next Thursday.” This appears to be a little too ambitious for our department; and let us under- stand that continued stories are not desired; and that the titles should not be too ‘ambitious. Uncle Jed prefers simple storfes; and some of the best thus far have not been over ten lines in length, and they have been book winners. Uncle Jed regrets that “Stories of A Boys’ and Girls’ Department the Sea,” printed last week was cred- ited to Miss Ruth instead of Miss Ella L. McCullom, Lut all things come right in time. - The stories were 0 good this week that Uncle Jed decided to make the number of prizes six, as he has done for several weeks. He hopes all the winners will receive a book thal pleases them. 2 THE WINNERS OF PRIZE BOOKS THIS WEEK. : Aileen M.

One evening as I was sitting out in the front yard I saw something fall from a tree, I went over to see what it was, and there was a gray cat with a bird in its mouth, \ It was a pretiy bird, with vellow wings, tipped with green; and a red spot on its head. I took it away from the cat and let it fly away; and then the cat turned aronnd and’ spitefully scratched me.— Mollie Powers, Yantic, Conn. The Wonderful Clouds. In an old house in New York lived a little girl by the name of Little Sue. She lived with her mother and her aunt. She was lame, and so could not go out to see the world. She loved to lock out of the window at the beautiful clouds and study them. She was so fond of them her mother told her stories to pass away the time. One day it was stormy, so she told her this story: There once lived in a far-away coun- try two little clouds. They were brother: but they Gid not like each other. One’s name was Son C and the other's Timid Cloud. was afraid of Son Cloud. One day Timid said that he was not going to be afraid of Son any more; but he was going to have a fight with him. So Timid gathered together a large army and went against Son. Son haqg aiready gathered a large force to_come against Timid. When they came together they bumped their heads. The crash was the thunder. Then they cried and the tears were drops of rain: “What wonderful clouds! I did not know they were trained as well as that,” said Little Sue—Ruth B. Mc- Cullom, age 12, Mansfield Depot, Conn. An Adventure With a Donkey. (A True Story.) I was sitting on the porch one day while on my vacation at Penacook, N. H., when I saw something come rush- ing -dowr tlhte road amid a cloud of dust; and, as it drew nearer, 1 saw that it was a donkey attached to a iittle cari, To my surprise, it balked in front of the house where I was stopping. The driver was a boy of ten. He calied to me to please try to make the donkey go. So I went out and took hold of his bit, braced myself in front of him and pulled with all my strength; but Mr. Donkey laid his ears back and stif- fened himself until I could see his flesh quiver. But I pulled until I got him to move three steps—no more. Just then a gentleman came along. He joined in . Two more steps, Finzlly the boy asked us to head him for home. At the word “Home,” the donkey pricked up his ears. So the gentleman pulled and I got on THE CLOTHES-PIN SETTLEMENT it was a clothespin with aspirations which started it all. That's a pretty big word to say spirations”"—and a big word for a clothespin to have fas- tended to it, but it means something simple. It just means wanting to be something higher than the thing you are now. That is why it was an aspiring clothespin. It was tired of seeing daylight only on washdays and lying in a dark bag all the six other days. Nancy quite understood how the clothespin felt as she saw it lying there on the kitchen table where the housemail had dropped it after she had taken it from the clothesline. Nancy took the clothespin up in her hand and twisted it, and turned it, and looked at it on all sides. She saw its little, hard, rcund head, its two sturdy legs, its curved-in_waist. She pre- tended that the clothespin was a real person. “How would you lik the playroom with me, the clothespin, “and play?” Like it? Indeed, the clothespin would love it! -Naney thought that she saw the clothesvia nod its little round head in_answer to her question. Peter, *who was Nancy's brother, helped to take the clothespin upstairs. He took the whole bag of clothespins, in fact, for the housemaid said she was through with them for the week, and even if they wanted to stay in the playreom for the rest of their days to come up to Nancy said to iearn how to it would be all right, for clothespins were cheap and she could buy more at the grocer Peter and Nane; were very glad that the housema‘d was so obliging, for it took ihe whole basful to make the playfoom home of the clothespin who had aspirations. One carner of the bare, polished floor of the playroom made this clbthespin settiemeni, and it was en- closed with a Virginia rail fence made Dy slipping togetier the open ends of the pins, so that they formed a right angle, and then laying them on top of each other, heads and ends to- sether. £ Next came the clothespin house, which 8 very rustic in appearance when it and altogether delightful wooden persan with aspirations to live was comnleted—quite roomy for even a in, Clothespins were slipped together m’ similar fashion to those which made the fence, to form the corner of the house, and these were glued together where they met to form strong side walls. Clothespin logs were made by slipping two pins to- gether straight, and these made the roof with the addition of a few extra | ones crossed at the corners and over the top, to look like rustic decorations. Peter had a lump of putty which the gardener gave him after the glass in the toolhouse window was set, so he used it to make tiny bricks which Nancy piled up to make the chimney of the house. In one corner of the garden there was a well. This was made by piling up_clothespins as one would logs for a log cabin and then gluing them in place. Two clothespins. one slipped inside the other, and then glued to one side of the well, made the sweep, end 2 little bucket which Naney mold- ed from the lump of putty and tied with a length of thread to the sweep completed the well. A dozen clothes put together in tent fashion made a chicken coop, and there was also a useful farm wagon which Peter made for his quaint lit- tle ccuntry seat. The body of the wagon was as long 85 two_clothespins slipped together straight fashion, and as wide as the length of one. It was twa clothespins high, and woe siued 10 a Lit of oblong cardboard. Clothes- pin shafts and biz cardboard wheels on meat skewer axles completed the wagon. The clothespin settlement with its house and fences could be so easily movad that it proved a most attractive plaything.—Continent ‘other sidé ana pushed.

Naturally speaking, there are few wealthy people who are not selfish, es- pecially to the poor. Now, it happened that in the little village of Somerville the people were scarcely able to earn their living ex- cept by small weges given to the men for working in a rudely built paper mill. The women were obliged to plant and harvest the crops, which | consisted of a few potatoes, corn, and perhaps an acre of hay. In the center of the village stood a very rude amnd dirty saloon, which all the poor women had wished and prayed had never been placed in that part of the state, for every night from the mill the men would stop and spend all of their money for liquor. And not only that, but when they came home they would abuse their wives and children, One cool and sunny July morning everybody was surpriged to see a nice span of horses drive through the vi lage, and not less than an hour re- turn for no other purpose than' to give comfort and rest to the poor women farmers. In this carriage were two people of middle age, dressed like a king and queen. On returning they stopped at every house to tell the good news, that they had forbidden any more dis- tilled liguors sold in that village or anywhere in that section of the town. They not only told this, but left with | every mother twer;‘ty-flve dollars to spend as she thought vest. ,Sl‘ this shows that although this couple were rich theg were by no means selfish.—Olive G. Whitehouse, age 13, Mansfleld Center, Conn. The Squirrels Got the Nuts. The nutting season had come and papa_ had promised to take his littiz daughters into the country for a few days, that they might gather as many nuts as they wished, for there was a fine grove of walnut trees not far from ths old farmhouse. They arrived at their destination about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and were eager to begin work at once; but papa said they should rest for the afternoon and next morning could be- gin their work. In the meantime he said they would take a walk to the grove and see if nuts were plentiful. To be sure they were, and the frost of the night before had helped ripen them. We saw several large gray squirrels { jumping from limb to limb. They all seemed busy putting away their win- ter supplies. The little girls gathered up a small pile and put some leaves over them, thinking we will have so many to start with in the morning; but imagine their surprise next day when they reached the grova to find every nut gone. The squirrels had taken them to their nests. KATHERINE. The Scouts Have a Sai and Lunch. On a pleasant afternoon in July a crowd of merry boys gathered at the Chelsea boathouse. They were the Boy Scouts, and their Scout Master waiting for a launch to take them for an out- ing down the Thames river. What a jolly time they had! After sailing around for a couple of hours the launch was headed for the club- house raft. The party went ashore, and while the Scout Master prepared a luncheon on the veranda of the clubhouse the boys went for a swim, which sharpened their appetites for the good things that were to come—sandwiches, buns, orange- and lemonade quickly disap- peared. After a pleasant sail up the river and threa cheers for the Scout Master, tha boys went home, tired and happy. ONE OF THE PARTY. The Birthday Party. Little Anne Brown came crying up the street to the house, and said: “Anna Crosley and Mabel Sweete are nine tomorrow. I am, too. They are going to have a party; but I can’t Anne, don’t ery,” said Mrs. IBrown. “You may go down to the store and get three dolls. Here is seventy- five cents. Then you may %0 to their houses and give one to Mabel, one to Anna, and keep one for vourself. You can invite them to come to our house at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Then you will have a party together.” Anna’s doll was dressed in bllue sat- in, Mabel's in pink satin, and Anne’s in red satin. Anne hurried off to their houses. She gave them their dolls and told them to come the next day at four o’clock, At four o’clock they were all there. There was never any happier children than they were that afternoon.—Hlla L. McCollum, age 11, Mansfield Depot, Conn. Roasting Chestnuts.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED. . A Day on Hayward’s Lake. Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell vou about a day two persons and my- self spent on Havward's lake. It was a good day to be on the water, as _the sun did not shine. We started about half past eight, in an_automobile. We wanted to get some bass, so we took our fishing outfit. After we arrived at the lake wa were quite a while getting ready to fish, but finally we rowed out into the lake and_dropped anchor. About as soon as I began fishing T felt something pulling on my line, and on pullting it in I found that it was a bass which weighed about a pound. 1 was pleased to think I had caught the first fish. Later I felt something on my line again. It was a good sized bass, and 1 might have caught it, but the reel did not work right, so T lost it. It was about dinner time then, and T guess we were hungry. We landed and walked around, and then ate our dinner, which tasted pret- ty good. After dinner we fished again. and another of our party caught a perch. ‘When we got tired of fishing we got some' pond lifies. We saw a bird which looked like a stork, although it was small. After rowing some. weé tried our luck fishing once more, but did not catch any more. There was nof wind enough to catch .books; | «“Two Lives 'freat Sory f ik el o " Miss ETHEL LAWS, Soprano.
