IN3PIRED SPITE WORK.
Had Representative Webb of North
Carolina desired to paate upon himself
the label of fanatical partisanship he
could have thought of no better way
than the Introduction Into congress
of the remarkable hill devlaed to ex
press his vindictive nntngonl.no against
Judge Kmory Speer.
Under Mr. Webb’s auspices the court
of inquiry, devised to alft out the evi
dence and discover what merit thcro
may have been in the attacks upon
Judge Bpcer, became an Instrument of
torture and a screaming travesty upon
Justice. Mr. Webb's attitude front the
first was that of ono who hunted
prey. In every possible way he en
deavored to shut out light that bore
on any but the most antagonistic
viewpoint to Judge Speer. So marked
was this that many who hud hood
predisposed to an Inimical \ lew of
Judge Speer were revolted ,u the pa.
tlal and unjust nature of the proceed
ings and realised that the vindictive
Attitude of the court was the out
growth of strong favoritism toward
Judge Bpesr's enemies. Had there
been room for doubt, Mr. Webb has
himself closed doubt out In following
his inimical attitude in the court of
inquiry by his scheme to get con
gress to provide another Judge for tha
Southern District of (leorgia. who will
have the same Jurisdiction and receive
the same salary as Judge Speer's
The provision In Ids bill that tlier
shall be but one Judge so the South
ern District of Georgia when the senior
Judge Is out of the way Is about the
most frank snd childlike expression of
spleen aud vindictiveness we have ever
run across.
It Is not Imaginable that congress
will do Mr. Webb's bill the honor of
much notice. It being decided that no
Just cause for tnipeachmcnt could be
frund, the subject. It would appear -
to reasonable minds- is exhausted. The
gentlemen In Washington have serious
business hefure them. They can
scarcely consider giving their precious
time to the spite work snd eonsplra
cioa of petty politicians and disgrun

of trivial curiosity tt would he Inter

AMERICAN JUSTICE.

justice will be tried, out before tho
court of public opinion
Had this crisis occurred, snv. six or

Personally, we sre not of this opln

man who did not like children.
“You cannot earn your salt/* ehe

Jack lay awake that night, wonder
ing what would become of them,
when .suddenly he heard the hoards
creak n* though some one win walk

He closed his eyes and pretended
he was asleep, but he could see Just
the least hit. and soon the door was
opened ami Ills aunt and uncle came
In with a candle and came toward the
hed
“They -ire not worth their salt.” he
heard his aunt say again “and if you
TMty rill A&LELP
do not take them out and lose them
tomorrow 1 will”
The uncle said he would take them
away the next morning, and they
went out and dosed the door
Jack did not sleep much that night,
and as soon as Kate was awake in
the Morning, they dressed and went
to the spring for water.
Jai k *had not told his sister what
he hard the night before, and he was
wondering what his uncle intended to
do with them, when he hoard a voice

Jack and Kate dropped the pail and
looked about There was no one in

Whut Doe* Money Mean T# You?
A little kroup of women were dls
euusing the good fortune of a mutual
acquaintance who hail unexpectedly
inherited quite a bit of money.
"I wonder what alie will do with It"”
inuaed one.
"It wouldn’t take me lona to know
what to do with it.” exclaimed a mem
ber of the group.
And then they fell to dtsvusing
what money meant to them.
"To be perfectly holiest.” laughed
one, ‘’it meana to me clothes and big
dinner* I certainly do love elegant
clothes and I love to Rive an elabo
rate dinner or go to a fashionable ho
tel or restaurant and ha\e a
’spread.’
“I think It would mean to me what
I could see.” nuiaed another. "I am
sure ts l had sufficient money to af
ford to travel, there would not tie
many nook* and corners of this world
I wouldn't visit ”
”1 think 1 would want to travel, too.”
Joined a third "But that wouldn't be
all. Nor would t want to travel ev
erywhere. 1 would pick out high plaoe*.
so to speak—Paris I-ondon. Ron *, the
Alps Then I would want the best of
everything else—music, plays, art. 1
think ! should Just go In for the best
the world had to offer.”
"You don’t want much." laughed
the group.
INDOOR SPORTS at By Tad
They picker! up the pall and were
dipping it into the spring when they
saw on the top of the water a tiny
creature who seined to fly over the
surface Instead of walking on two
tiny feet.
"If you wish to escape from your
cruel unde and uunt, take the first
path through the woods and do not
look behind you," suid the little crea
ture.
"Are you a fairy?" asked Kate,
clinging close to her brother.
"Are you a fairy?" asked Jack in
a trembling voice, and his eyes grow
ing Idg with wonder.
"Yes, I am your good fairy for to
day,” said the little creature, "and If
you wish to he happpy do as I tell
you.”
"Come." said Jack to Kate, "we will
do as the fairy Vays. I have heard
they are very kind to poor orphans
like us."
"I am- so hungry," said Kate. “!,et
us go to the house and get our break
fast first."
"1 think we better go at once." said
Jack, thinking of what he had heard
the night before. "We can eat berries
and then we will find another fairy
who will giye us breakfast. They can
do anything. I have heard."
"I am very hungry," said Kate, fol
lowing her brother to the woods and
along the first path they came to.
"I have been In these woods before."
raid Jack, "but I never saw that path
with flowers growing on both sides
before I think It will be all right to
walk along, as the path, the fairy told
us to take, seems to end here."
Kate forgot her hunger when she
mi w the pretty flowers, and she ran
ahead and began to pick them, when
suddenly she gave a little cry of de
light and Jack ran to see what she
had found.
On a hush of pink flowers there
was a basket hanging covered with a
white napkin, and when the children
uncovered it, they found their break
fast,
"We will keep on this path," said
Jack. "I am sure It must lead to
sou ething nice: it is so beautiful."
The children ate so much breakfast
they fell asleep, and tomorrow I wtl
tell you what happened when thev
awoke.

"I don't want it all.” she replied. "11
I couldn't afford to travel a lot. I'd
just take the cream, if,l couldn't en

.choose the one best thing. Money to
me would stand for the host, even if

“You are not the only one who has
to do that." chorused the others.
”1 think money to me would stand
for manicuring and shamiHioing ami
Turkish baths and things of that sort.”
Joined In a mem tier of the group. ”1
Just love to go to a beauty place and
i get all fixed up and con c out feeling

[never feel I ian afford to do It. Or

”1 suppose you’ll think I'm crasy.”
said one who had not spoken v'et.
"‘but to me. the possession of money

THE FAMILY BUDGET.
About 200 family budgets were
studied by Mrs. Martha Hensley Bruere
showing how the family Income is
standardizing itself. She considered
what she calls “middle class families,"
chosen from all over the United States,
those who have an average income of
$1,200 for five people. Mrs. Bruere
says: “Judging from the budgets we
we have collected, I do not believe
that anywhere in the United States a
family of father, mother, and three
children, of which not more than one
Is over fourteen, can be run decently
or efficiently for less than $1,200 a year
or its equivalent ... no matter
how wise buyers its members may he,
or how small their appetites or mod
est their demands In clothing. I be
lieve that the minimum wage scale is
going to eliminate those unfortunate
ones who are not getting enough of
what they earn to come up to that
sum, and a more thoughtful care of
dependents is going to frankly and
directly provide for those defectives
v 'io cannot earn a living wage. Klther
that or we must reorganize industry
and business so that people can get
' hut now costs $1,200 for very much
less.”
The families in middle class occu
pations,—small landlords, the better
class of mechanics and shop bosses,
clerks, railroad conductors, account
ants and secretaries, teachers and col
lege professors, clergymen, journalists,
physicians, horticulturists and geolo
gists, small capitalists and business
men, some of them averaging more
than $1,200 were considered. Mrs
Bruere found that these families spend
$447.15 for food whether they buy oi
raise It, estimating that it costs at
least 35 cents a day to keep an adult
man In health. Shelter that has ade
moriey stands for with different peo
ple, isn't It?
What does it mean to you? Frank

If you'll probe to the bottom of the
query, maybe you'll fie tviher surpris

FRANK’S FROG.
Once tu on a time Frank Totind
a poor frog whose leg in some
way hid been hurt. Frank pick
ed It up and took It to his home
and washed, and wrapped it with
a soft cloth. At first the trog
was afraid of Frank and would
try to run away, but it goon found
out that Frank would nos hurt it
and lie brought it food and water
to drink Soon it would hop into
Frank's hand and eat out of it.
This pleased Frank and he fill
el a tub with water, put in some
stones and moss and the frog
Mr. Frog scented very pleased
with his new home and as soon rs
It was dark would croak and
croak One night as t was
croaking louder than ever Funk
thought he heard another croak
and w ent out to see. rt was light
enough for him to see. and what
do you think? There was an
other frog trying to hop into the
tub.
It would run back a little way
and then hop; It would go as hlgii
as It could and Frank s frog
would croak and seemed to try
and enroll rags it to try again At
last It made one big flop, a hop,
and landed In the tub beside the
other frog
Of course Frank thought that it
was only Visiting the other ant
would hop out in the night and
go home, but In the morning
when he went out to feed his
frog there was the other cuddled

He fed them and they both

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
quate plumbing, that has light enough
and air enough and that is convenient
enough so that neither the effect nor
the cost of getting to back
Is high, cannot be had, either in the
country or in the city, for less than
$144—512 a month. I know that you
can get houses in the country for $2
a month; but what of the plumbing?
What of the heating? What of the
conveniences? A house that is not san
itary or light or warm or convenient,
costs far more than can be made up
by low rent.
“Clothes cots a minimum of SIOO a
year. That is in New York Cite,
where they are cheaper than anywhere
else in the United States. I feel that
this estimate of SIOO is too low be
cause of the great wisdom and self
denial which it requires; but it can
he done, not beautifully but decently.
The operation of the household which
covers light and heat and service, re
pairs and replenishing, the cost ot
gas and electricity and running -costs
generally, gives a possible leeway of
expenditure, but I believe that $l5O a
year is the least that it will cost. That
Implies that there Is no paid service
except the laundering of the man's
collars and shirts.
"The really important expenditure
of the families with $1,200 a year, as
of all other families, is the part they
put Into the things which are not
necessary, perhaps, to physical health,
hut which do mean happiness and prog
ress. This Item I have called advance
ment. It covers the cost of education,
the amount given to charity, to the
church, the cost of vacations and trips,
of books, postage stamps, recreation
and entertainment, insurance and sav
ings, and also the cost of keeping a
child of fourteen in school instead of
sending him to work, which In itseif
costs about S2OO a year. Families with
$1,200 a year spend abqut $312 on ad
vancement.”
very much. Frank kept them for
a long time, but at last he took
them to a pond and they hopped
into the water. Frank says he is
sure when he goes to that pond
and set« a lor of trogs sunning
themselves that his frogs know
him and perhaps they do.
