IDEALS OF PROPERTY AND
HUMANITY.
Harper's Weekly baa tlifs on the
Mexican auhjeci:
A man who travel* constantly
through the Went said to ns the other
dgy; *'l llnd just two classes that oil- j
.Tact to Wllson'a Mexican policy. Uue 1
is thu liolitlclans, who always disap
prove of what the other party does.
The Other consists of those to whom
property ia the most altered idea in
tne world." The second class is nu- \
morons. Its horror is genuine over
the disorder of Villa and Ills disre
gard for certain "rights,” a Is, in
tact, willing lo havo tlie Mexicans
conquer tno property division they
need ns the mans tor all progress,
provided this conquest can bo niada

Tho Now York World, discussing
tdr Arthur Conon Doyle's eplth - ’,
"Idealist" aim-lied lo the president, .I
pro pus of las attitude <>n the Mexican
uifalrs, reflects that the accusation
has been made before. Mr Wilson
admitted the truth ol It when he said
recently that he had a passion not for
power but lor justice.
“Opposed to greet wrongs,” says the
World, "there must be great ideals
of right. Thu one true and enduring
thing in connection with the Mexican
situation, to which Sir Arthur refers,
Is President Wilson s Ideal of a nation
relieved of tyranny ami bloodshed
and blessed with peace and justice.
Everything else that he see there, the
"trouble" of carnage and oppression,
will pass away, but the ideal will
some day become the reality.

THE SLEEPY GNOMES
Once upon a time the leader of
the Onomes said: "It Is getting
warm and these softs we are wear
ing are too heavy, so we must all
have new suits made. I have sent
word to our tailors and they will
he here tomorrow to take our
measure. Everyone must bn on
time for It takes them all day,
working as fast as they can."
Several of them looked rather
gloomy as they had planned to go
fishing early the next morning. At
laid one of them said: "I tell you
what W'e will do. Let us all go
down near the big oak and sleep
there all night, then we will he
the first ones to see about our
suits and perhaps we won’t lose
our fishing trip after all.”
s They thought this a fine plan
and off they gtarted down to tho
hlg oak. It was bright moon light,
arid they chatted and told stories
for a long time. When they
did go to sleep It was nearly light
ami almost lime for them to get
up, but they know that. The
others ate breakfast and when It
waa j;lrno went to meet the tailors.
Sumo one missed iic ones who
went to the oak and went baek to
look for them but they were no
tvhere to be found and so they had
to go without them.
The tailors were as busy as they
could be and It was nearly time
lor th/m to pack up and go home.
Home of the Onomes ran again to
are If the missing ones could he
found and it was all confusion
because they could not.
The fishermen Gnomes slept and
slept and not one woke up until
Just us the sun was going to set
It flashed a beam in the eyes of
one and I hat woke him up. He
soon found out that It was nearly
[lark and he woke tho others.
They ran as hard as they could
and were just in time to get their
summer suits.
"Well,” said one, “we lost our
fishing and almost lost our new
suit:." "Yea," said another, "and
wouldn’t u have been awful if we
had lo wear our winter suits all
summer."
Ho they decided that they would
not try to he smart again for In
stead of being first they almost
got left.
INDIFFERENT MR CHURCHILL.
(From "Anecdotes of the Hour," pub
lished by the Heart International
Library Company).
Winston Churchill, the eminent pol
itician and author, once had to take
into dinner a young lady who hail
very decided political views, which
were In direct opposition to those of
her partner. Mr. Churchill had Just
grown what he considered a very
handsome mustache, the appearance
of which seemed still further to in
cense the young lady.
"Mr ( nurchlTl," said the young
lady, '"I care neither for your politics
nor your mustache."
' Don’t distress yourself, mv dear
young lady, 1 beg of you,” returned
Mr. Churchill; “you are not llkoly to
come In contact with either.”

One morning Billy Pig got up early
and put on his checkered trousers and
red coat, but lie could not find bis
green cap, and do you know why? He
did not hang it up as he should have
done the night before. It was back
of the sofa, where he threw It when
he came In.
Billy Pig looked and looked, but he
couldn’t find his rap ,so he went out
without It; at least he started, hut his
mother saw him. “Where are you
going?” she asked.
"Kor a walk down the road," an
swered Billy Pig.
"Without your cap?" asked his
mother.
"Yes." said Billy Pig. "I do not
want It."
"You com? right hack here, and put
on your cap," said his mother.
And then she found out that Billy
Tig did not hang up Ills cap the night
before, for he looked and looked and
he couldn't find It.
"You didn't bang up your cap Inst
night," said his mother; "If you had
you would know where It is now.
You put on your father’s straw hat.”
Billy Pig was very proud and he
began to cry, "Oh. T don’t want to
wear that old-fashioned looking hat;
I’d rather go bareheaded.”
"Then you ran stay at home," said
his mother; "you shall not go down
the mad without your cap.”
Billy Pig cried, and all the time he
was looking for his cap, and after a
while he aaw It tinder the sofa, but his
eyes were red Hnd his face all streaked
where he had cried and did not know
whether to go out or not, for Billy

Pig had promised himself a treat that
morning. He was going to Farmer
Brown’s to visit the little pigs that
lived there, and they were to have hot
mush and milk for breakfast, with lit
tle new potatoes.
“You’ll be late If you don’t hurry."
said his mother, "and I want to send
Mrs. Brown Pig a pot of butter. Hero
It Is. Now hurry, and the next ’time
remember to hang up your cap when
you come in."
Billy Pig took the pot of butter and
hurried down the road toward Farmer
Brown's.
"Hello. Billy Pig,” called the little
Brown Pigs when they saw him, but
they did not go far from their break-,
fast, for they, too, were fond of new
potatoes.
"Hurry,” they called, and Billy Pig
did hurry. He got the pot of butter
down and ran. His cap fell off, but
he did not stop to pick It up; he

thought only of the new potatoes and
the hot nuish and milk.
•'Hilly rig has been prying,” said
one of the little Rrown Pigs.
'I have not," said Hilly Pig, telling
a wrong story.
"Your eyes are all red," said another
little Brown Pig
"Yes," said Hilly Tig. telling another
wrong story; I am having a stye on
my eyes."
"On both eyes?" asked another little
Brown Pig.

BAIT YOUR FLY TRAP.
A fly trap Is better than a fly
swatter because the trap works
all the time.
But a trap won’t work unless
it is baited properly.
Experts say that, the very
best lure for the blue bottle Tly,
the one, by the way, that car
ries the germ of the deadly in
fantile paralysis, is a fish head,
but other kinds of meat will do.
Market men say ripe bananas
make a splendid bait. House
flies are partial to such dainties
as sour beer or sweetened vine
gar.
The idea is to put something
in the trap that will draw the
flies to it.
ALWAYS IS IT THUS.
