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 tled person.* hut as a mere matter of trivial curiosity tt would he Inter esting to know what or who Is tic cause of Mr. Webb's inspiration.

Their father ami mother tiled when {hey were very email and went to live with an uncle who wan married to a wo man who did not like children. “You cannot earn your salt/* ehe told them one morning, “and if I hud my way, I would noon be rid of you.” 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 ing toward hln room. 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 say, "Take the first gate through the wood and do not look behind you.” Jack and Kate dropped the pail and looked about There was no one in sight, and Jack wild it must have the wind they heard SNAPSHOTS -—By Barbara Boyd. 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.

"11 I couldn't afford to travel a lot. I'd just take the cream, if,l couldn't en joy all the music that ranio along. I'd .choose the one best thing. Money to me would stand for the host, even if l had to take thta best In limited quantities. 1 am so tired of cheap things and second best and taking vvliat 1 don't like because It's all 1 can afford.” “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 |as fresh and dainty as a rose, And I [never feel I ian afford to do It.

(Copyright, 1914, American Society for Thrift.) 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 ly. honestly? If you'll probe to the bottom of the query, maybe you'll fie tviher surpris ed to find Just what your real secret desires are. SiEEPYTItJE Stal m 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 up sound ssle.v in the rorner He fed them and they both seemed to enjoy their breakfast 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. THAT "GONE" FEELING.
