WATCHING CHICKENS FIGHT.
Certainly, an a patriotic celebration.
th« cock fight in not hi the taatrt of
the developed Intellect and ilia culti
vated nrtnd. Perhaps the fact that It
J« condemned by law ..Htlda to it ß
charm for those who like It.
But It la the fact that go many per
tong appear to like It that la distress
ing. The cock lighting which was
carried out on a river boat near Au
kiisu waa. we understand, exccedlng
l.v fcemuneratlve, and although It wag
not advertised openly, it drew .nor
moua numlier of spectators. This
show a very clearly that peraous of
developed Intellect ami cultivated
minds do not predominate :n thlg
neighborhood to any very great e\
tent.
Ab h symptom, as an expression nf
culture and refinement of Augus
ta and Its environs, the success of the
recent cock lighting on tha river Is
depressing. t'ock fighting Is about
the most degrading and trivial sport
In the world and Is kuown to bo jr
cullar to the most worthless races and
the most trifling element In any com
muelty. We can auggest no imtric
ular remedy for the prevalence of low
tastes, because, so many remedies are
needed. More libraries with Inviting
reading rooms, more social centers,
where pleasures ot a wholesome char
acter could be had, more recreation
parks, more church cluiw and fewer
social barriers would overcome the
tendency toward. degrading sports,
but these things cannot bo furnished
for the wishing.
Cel us not be misunderstood We
do hot look upon the witnessing ot a
cock fight as. of itself, a sin, but to
ae It indicates a unite that results
from the starvation of the natural
love of diversion and excitement, and
It means degradation. Men who are
devoted to the manly sport of base
ball or football, do not spend thetr
time watching cbickeus light each
other. Moreover, men who find great
pleasure In this diversion can he
counted on to express thetr tendency
toward foolish and revolting diver
sions in other ways, that eventually
exercise their Influence In retarding
the progress of the entire community.
Cock fighting Is a symptom, that
looks ugly to us.
MEANT WELI BUT—
Thn recall of George Fred Williams,
the undiplomatic diplomat who went
to Greece and dipped in, ought to
teach a lesson.
Mr. Williams has, we fear, fallen
a victim to the New England con
science. to which be lies a good right.
Thn New England conscience is onor
nionsly keen upon the affairs ot
others and no doubt It was the New
England conscience which spurred the
minister to Greece and Montenegro to
tnako himself busy with reforms
which were no obviously out of bis
jurisdiction that only a New England
<onaclet.ce could have blinded hltn to
that fhrt
Mr. William's conscience is. how
ever. upholding him. lie feels that
God has impoaed upon him the duty
of telling all he knows and thinks
about Albania and the fart thlat his
passion for butting In ha# created for
himself and the nation lie represented
In Rnrope a most embarrassing con
dition. is not troubling him. lie
leaves nil that to others, while haring
resigned he now feels free to com
ment, as he would like, upon the sit
uation in Albania. It Is regretsble
ibta Mr. William*' New England eon
science could not have been remedied
until the notion of resigning had come
to him and been acted upon.
The mistake seems to have been In
selecting a man of New England con- 1
science as a diploma tint. In another
field he might have done well, hut a
meddlesome conscience is a hud thing
for the Knifed States to send to for
eign lands. Let it stay at home and
ferment, for purification here. As a
matter of fact, Air. Williams hag told
the truth about Albania. He hag given
advice about Albanians a more stable
and a # more just government which
may be good enough, hut it wag eer
tainlj unprovoked in a minister from
the Knifed State*.
Of course, his bad break, and the
necessity for recalling him and repu
diating all responsibility Tor his rash
talk and meddlesome comments, will
furnish ample oi portuntty for new
criticisms upon the “untrained diplo
mats" and "shirt-sleeves diplomacy.”
Of the jibes and sarcasms expected
on this latter text the New York
World remarks:
can bear them. Shlrt-sl.-evps
diplomacy, around with clean motives
and common sense, has usually done
pretty well for us. and often for other
people needing help One of these
qualifications was in Mr Williams’
case lacking: but he goes with one
encomium that trained diplomatists
have not always earned Nobody ever
said of Metternich or Talleyrand:
“He meant well."

JACK’S CUSTARD PIE
Once upon a time Jack had been a
naughty boy. What do you think he
had done? I wili tell you. Kook had
made a nice custard pie and had set.

went to her room. Jack saw the pie.
as ho passed through tin his way to
the porch. He was going to write a
letter to Ills aunt and had the payor
and Ink in his hand.
He looked at the pie and gave a
big sniff. It did smell good and he
thought how much he would like a
piece of it. He turned the pie around
and sniffed again. He turned quick
for he thought lie heard Cook coming
in <1 splash went the ink bottle into
the pie. < loudness what should he
do? He picked out the bottle but
most of the Ink was left In the pie.
He didn’t want to tell for he knew
his mother would tell him that lie
shoudl not have stopped at all even to
sit If.’
Ho went out on the porch to write
his letter but the bottle was full of
custard pie Instead of Ink, so he had
to give up writing. All at once he
heard Cook call and knew that she
had seen the pie. Soon ho heard tier
coining end he looked tip and saw
her with the pie in her hand.
When she saw the ink bottle filled
with custard In Jack’s hand and of
< ouree, she knew that ho had spoiled
the pie.
"Old you do this, Jack?" gho asked.
"Yes, I did Cook and I am very sorry.
If you wilt not scold I will take ray
quarter, that Uncle Jack gave me and
go out and liuy a pie.’’
"Hump," said the Cook, "you are n
naughty hoy to meddle, but, if you
won’t do It any more, i will excuse
you, and you needn’t use your money
to buy a pie for I made two. One 1
was going to give you for your lunch
tomorrow when you went fishing."
THE WAYS
OF THRIFT
(Copyrighted, ISI4, American Society
for Thrift.)
THRIFT RACE OF RACES.
Some comparative national thrift
experiments have been wrought out In
farming colonies near Wilmington, S.
<\ Hugh Mcßae of that city, secured
about 400,000 acres of virgin land, had
It surveyed and divided for five sep
arate colonies, and set off In 20 and 40-
acre forms. Streets were laid out, wa
ter supply and drainage planned, the
best location for the house on each
plot designated, shipping depots built,
spur lines run from the main Hue of
railroad, and land for school and
church donated for each colony. Sub
stantial barns were built for mules,
wagons, plows ami every necessary
farm Implement (according to the cus
toms and methods of each nationality)
for the purpose of renting at low rates
until the colonists were aide to buy
their own.
The first colonists were put to work
ditching, building roads and putting
the settlement In shape. Settlers who
could not puy cash for their farms
were given reasonable installment
terms, and comfortable homes were
eupplted under the Hume arrangements.
Thus many of these foreigners with
out a penny came Into possession of
a home and a farm. Beyond the pre
liminary supervision for the general
good of the eomunlty each settlement
was left to become -supporting ty
Its own devices and industry.
Th* Italians from Tuscany proved
to be the best colonists. Their first
step was to plant fruit trees around
their land. These trees served as a
fence ns well as becoming u s uroe of
yearly income. The trees were dwarf
ed to prevent shading the crops of
these thrifty Ita'ians Hardly second
to the Italians are the German colo
nists. Industry and thrift prevail In
their "New Berlin” and the settlement
ts a model. They have built a store
church, school and a co-operative
boarding house for new-comer*. The
Poles, also, have proved very satisfac
tory colonists. There are more than
”00 In the settlement, end nl are mak
ing good.
Neither the English nor the Ameri
can colonists did as well as the ottwr
three nationalities. They have made
slower progress, and haxe not shown
the self-reliance, energy and thrift of
the Italians and Germans.
That nature Is a good business part
ner these prosperous foreigners have
proved, and efforts are now being
made by the American Rodetr tor
Thrift to bring this fact more forcibly
to the minds of American people.

TWO LITTLE GIRLS.
Oreta and her sister Kdna were
sitting by the water watching the
waves and looking at a very high
mountain on the other side of the
water.
"1 wonder of that is where the fai
ries live and the witches we read
about?” said Creta.
"I don’t believe in fairies or witches
cither," said Enda; those are silly
stories in the hooks. I wish there, was
nothing in the world but nice things
to eat. I don’t like books and pic
tures, or stories, either, but i do like
things to eat.”
“If that is all you want," said a
voice, "I will see that you get it.
Make your wish and I will grant it."
Edna saw standing beside her a
dainty-looking little creature with

the butterflies and in her hand she
held a tiny gold stick.
Who are you?” asked Edna.
"I am the wish fairy,” replied the
liny creature.
"I don’t, believe in fairies, replied
Edna, "but if you can do as you say,
I wlsr I lived in ti country where
there was nothing but good things to

THEN AND NOW
Seventv-nlne years ago today the Lib
erty Hell tolled for the last time. On
that day It was proclaiming th« nation's
grief over the death of Chief Justice
John Marshall whoso body was being
taken from Philadelphia to Its final rest
ing place In Virginia. Huddonly, the
tone of the bell changed, became muf
fled aa with grief. The bell-ringer hur
ried to the tower of the state house. He
found a great crack In the side of the
hell. In the circumstance many profess
ed to see n fitting climax to one of the
most Important epochs In the nation's
history. Fifty-nine years before the bell
had rung out the glad tidings that tha
Iteclavatlon of Independence had been
signed and adopted this day Its tonguo
forever became silent during the funeral
services of Chief Justice Marshall, the
last of the Signers of ttie Declaration and
the last of George Washington’s asso

expense of the Colony of Pennsylvania,
It was brought to Philadelphia In 1753
where It was given Its first test frfr tone.
The first blow of the clapper made a
wide crack In the hell. A Philadelphia
firm offered to recast It and rather than
wait for Hs return from England the
Colonists turned It over to them 'The

VENUS AND THE SUFTRAGETTES.
"Wasn't tt dreadful tin* way that
English suffragette ruined that lovely
painting of Venus," sighed the Soulful
Woman.
"I am afraid Venus hasn't much
ehaneo these days with Ruffragettes,"
replied tho Statistical Lady. "The two
do not mix.”
"But don't you think that is where
the suffragettes make a mistake'.'"
protested the Soulful Woman. "Why
oan’t we have both beauty and equa l
rights?"
"I don't think that was the point
the suffragette was trying to make."
explained the Statistical lady. "I
think she wanted to set people to
thinking upon the difference between
the woman of the past, as typified by
Venus a.iid the ono that Is being evol
ved today, and to show that the one
of the past should be destroyed."
"I don't think she'll do it by hack
ing Venus." objected the Soulful Wo
man. "1 think she ought to make
ilie woman of today so pleasing that
Just naturally she'll shove Venus aside
Venus will be forgotten.”
"The suffragette of course thinks
the modern woman la an Improvement
on Venus. Hut some people you know
persist in looking book ward, and you
can't make them turn around until
you Jerk them*, By hacking Venus and
pointing to her improved successor,

those who had been blissfully or wil
fully unconscious of the fact that there
was a new woman turned their heads
and took a look at her."
"But I think If the new type had
combined the qualities of Venus with
the good polnta of the suffragette no
one would have been unconscious of
her." objected the Soulful Woman.
"Those looking backward have as un
consciously turned their heads to
watch the evolution, as the sunflower
follows the sun."
“But we don't want the Venus type"
protested the Statistical lady. “We

Kdna had no sooner finished the
hist word t an she found herself in
the stiangest place. There was food
everywhere.
Kdna began to eat. She went from
one thing to another until she had
e-jteri so mueli she was sleepy, but
«h:n lie looked for a place to rest
she could find no spot that was not
covered wit:i food. In fact, she had
been walking on pears and grapes and
pies without noticing them.
"I can’t help it," she replied at last,
"I must go to sleep; I cannot keep
awake any longer."
She sat down on a big sponge cake,
and hiding it nice and soft, she took
more from a pile near her and made
a lied and soon was asleep.
When she awoke she sat up and
rubbed he: eyes. “Oh, I thought 1
dreamed it,” .she said, "but here is all
the candy i dreamed of and all the
cakes and ice cream, too.” Edna be
gan eating again until she was so
tilled vvith food she could not eat any
more.
Rut it was not much fun sitting on
fruit cake end sponge cake and hav
ing nothing to look at but food.
“on. dear! why did I wish for such
a silly country as this?" she said at
last, beginning to cry.
“If you have had enough of this
country i will take you back to your
sister.” said the wish fairy “but be
careful how you make wishes after
this; it may get you into trouble
again.”
"1 will never wish anything so silly
as this again. I promise you," said
Kdna, "and I will read the books that
tell about you and the witches, and
never say [ do not believe in you,
either.’’
"All little girls believe is us," said
the fairy. “I will take you back to
your sister now, and while you may
never again see a fairy or any of our
family, you can read about tt3 in
books and dream as your sister does
as she looks over the water to the
high mountain —of what may be on
the other side in the happy land of
childhood’s dreams.”
Kdna left someone shake her arm,
and opening her eyes she saw her sis
ter beside her.
"Wake up,’’ she was saving;” it is
time to go home."

Tomorrow’s story—“ The Girl That
Loitered.”
Today Liberty Bell lies In state in the
state house In Philadelphia where Its
first rlnrlon peal of llherty rang out. It
Is one of the nation s most revered
relics and every year thousands of pil
grims from all parts of the country visit
this shrine. Before It was plaoed in
Its present glass ease one might often
see distinguished men, women and pa
triotic school children put out their
hands to touch the sacred Vellc. It was
with a similar feeling that President
Taft once vilsted It, and after gazing at
it for some moments earnestly exclaim
ed: “I would love to just lay my hand
upon the bell!” His wish was readily
granted, the guide having the case open
ed for the distinguished visitor six
times has the venerable hell been car
ried to distant cities to take part In an
niversaries and exhibitions. Ninety thou
sand school children successfully appeal
ed to the governor of Pennsylvania to
have It sent to the St. Louis Expos.tlon.
During the anniversary of the Ra-t'e of
Bunker Hill It was escorted through the
streets of Boston by the Ancleot and
Honorable Artillery Company, Itself a
relic of the Revolutionary times. It w:s

Its brazen sides with reverence. I has

by the Justice of the cause."
