AUSTRIA AND BERVIA
r n»c pressure of the Slav from the
east working westward upon the Ten
ton striving to bar his path to the sea
hgn nt last resulted In »i declaration
of war the end of which Is In the
ahtouricri hands of the gods. The thrill
of fear which grips the heart of *hc
civilized world as the armies of the
Dual Monarchy prepare to cross the
frontier and fall upon the already wfH
wearied Serh, Is Justified For no on •
knows whether the rncial sympathy
who’ll Russia feels for the Rlavto na
thins fiver which she assumes to lie
the protector will drive her Into the
field. In th»« event of such action no
one knows whether the ties which hind
<3#rmatiy and Italy to Austria Into the
Triple Alliance are strong enough to
arouse their armies to action.
Judging from thw figure ftarvtn 1*

genaoua character of the Austro-Hun
garian population must he taken into
roniddoratlon. There ta a large Slavic
population along the border, and Bos

tria only recently, are themselves Ser

What proportion of the Asutrtal nnny

their brothers?
, THE PARCEL POST
While the parcel post lias been made
\»*e of In many lines, the government
Is manifestly disappointed that the
farmers have not mors generally uti
lised H in marketing their products.
The "Farmers* Bulletin." Just issued
by the department of agriculture,
seems disposed to put the blame on
the farmers for the failure of the par
cel post to aid actively in doing away
with the middleman and bringing pro
ducer and consumer together to the
advantage of both. The department of
has co-operated with the
poatoffiee department in Investigating
the dlsap|Mdntingly small expansion
which has taken place in the parcel
post eervlce us far as taking produce
from the farm to the town or city Is
concerned The '‘Farmers' Bulletin"
aa>s that the farmers ask prices
"higher" even than those exacted by
th fancy retail stores in the cities It
warns the farmers that, "as a method
of marketing, the parcel post will suc
ceed only in such measure as it a.-
eoinplishes more efficiently and eco
nomically the functions performed by
the numerous middle interests of the
present system." According to the
Bulletin, the farmers have not grasped
their opportunity, and It hints that city
customers are often dissatisfied with
the produce sent bv the fanners which
ihey have no chance to examine and
Tcje» t whn ft comes by post
Quite likely this Is true in som*
cases, for there are customers whom
the market men find exceedingly hard
to suit, and who habitually complain
of price and quality, while making
free to express suspicions as to quan
tlty. In the matter of complaints it
Is fair to assume that the farmer who
attempts to plesse a city customer by
parcel post only gets for bis trouble
what every market man Is mote or less
hardened to. and the department of
agriculture ia going far out of its way
to insult the farmers of the country «p
Its effort to help the poatoffiee depart
ment explain why there has not been
a rush to do the marketing of farm
products through the medium of the
parcel post The truth of the matter
is that the development of su* h a busi
ness is slow There must be a growth
«*f confident «* on both sides which can
cglv come through Individual expert
ence When a farmer comes to know
what a customer wants, and the cus
tomer learns by experience that be
can depend upon the farmer, the two
will do I usiness together when ft Is
to their advantage to do so And that
Is all ther |g to ll
of the "Farmers* Bulletin" notwlth
standing.
DRUBILLA'B TRIP (Continu'd)
That night when the house was
oulet DriJMllia called very softly to
Hobby Jon**, and he did not need a
second invitation to hear the rest ol
I>rußiila's story. He popped out f
hi* hog with h bound that nearly tip*
ped It over. *
I never hefor# realised how much
that nurse dialll ■ d me. but she found
out that she could not get my little
mother to go anywhere without me,
and what do von suppose she did?"
asked Drtjsilla.
Hobby shook his head
"Khe took »my little mother to a
place where they hmke dolls," an
nounced Drusllla.
"We went In a train a long way
from where we had that first break
when the rest of the family went on
a trip that nurse said. 'I will take you
where thty make dolls and I guess
you will want to leave that old creat
ure when you see all the beautiful
dods we shall ae.'
“And she tried to make my little
hu&ged
Tight 4®
mother leave me at home, but she
wouldn’t, and I went along. Bobby
Jones, I never knew there were so
many dolls as big us my little mother
and as small ns u* -as you, yes,
smaller."
"Mercy!" exclaimed Bobby, "didn't
you feel little beside the big one"
"Of course L didn't," said Drusllla "I
was In my 111 tie mother's arms and
that made me look down on all-of
them. Hut some of them had Just
beautiful hair and eyes that opened
and shut with real eyelashes Hnd some
of them could walk, too.
“And some of them said 'Pape and
Mamma' and then one doll sang a song.
She was very handsome, and sh.i
walked about while she was singing."
"My." said Bobby Jones, "I should
have thought your little mother would
have wanted one of those wonderful
creatures."
“Well, that is just the part I was
THE WAYS OF THRIFT
(Copyright, 1914. American Society for
Thrift.)
Two of the Straus prizes awarded by
the American Society for Thrift for
theMiest stories illustrating gardening
thrift went to the Jefferson School m
Fond tlu Lao, Wis. The competition
Was open to public school children hi
•he 6th to Bth gradea. inclusive There
wfto fifteen opportunities to he prize
winners, all to receive memberships.
The first prize was S2O; tHe four rated
second best were each $5 and the ten
rated third best were each sl, or in
each case the equivalent in books on
gardening, agriculture or thrift.
The first and second prizes were
won by Mildred Smith and Eleanor
Smith, respectively The following ex
tract from letter of Miss Elizabeth
Nugent, prln ipal of the Jefferson
school, to President S. VV. Straus of
the American Society for Thrift throws
some light In the second sentence on
the rather peculiar circumstances that
two prizes went to tills school In com
petition with the chilifron all over the
country.
"Perhaps you would he interested
in knowing the manner in which 1
conducted the exercises of the writ
ing of the stories. The two Smith
girls (not relatives) wore members of
my seventh grade grammar and Eng
lish class. Thrift is something in
which we are very much interested
In our school building, consequently
when we heard of the contest we were
very much interested.
After discussing thrift in its vari
ous aspects; especially ’Thrift
shown in Gardening.’ we took one class
period to write on the subject. I was
very glad of the opportunity of hav
ing such an Interesting topic on which
to write, for children do much better
work and with much less effort when
Interested
When the two girls received their
letters asking whether they wanted
the money prises or books* 1 had all
the pupils in the class answer letters
to you as if each one had recalved the
prise. Then later when the money
came. I had eath one write a thank
you letter. You aee what a good op
portunity you afforded me for th*'
teaching of letter writing, real letter
writing.
• Mildred Smith ta the daughter of
the superintendent of schools In th*
city, a very, very bright girl in every*
study. Eleanor Rmtth Is a very sen
sitive child. The five dollars will b.*
a great help to W*r. When she read
her letter saving she received one of
the prises, she cried for Joy.
"We have a Thrift Society at our
school and l will tell you a little about
It The amount of paper that ts wast
ed by pupils in the public schools Is
enormous. 1 saw the waste and de
termined to do something to atop It.
Instead of crumpling up the paper and
throwing It into the waste basket. 1
have the pupils, when t*oth aides of
the paper Is uaed. lay it in the basket
in piles I sometimes look It over, to
aee If every particle of space is uaed
for scratch work in Arithmetic. When
the basket is full, the pile of paper
Is tied up and put away for sale. We
get *oc a 100 Iha for it from our local
Junk dealer Ktttcs I have tried thl*
plan we use only about a quarter
of the paper w e previously did. Another
coming to," said Drusillg, “That nurse
said to her. Don't you want one of
these dolls to take home with you?
and she put one of the big dolls close
to my little mother, who took it In
her arms. Then the nurse took me a**
though she was going to hold me Whi. *
my little mother held the big doll, and
Just itn soon n.« mv little mother w• -
interested in the big doll that nursa
►aid to the man who owned Crte a:.up
Here, you take this doll and put it
out of Might. We have been trying
to get her to have a new doll for a
long time, but she will not give up
thiH old thing.'
"I whk pretty wcil frightened, I cfvi
tell you, Bobby Jones, when that man
took me and put me on a shelf back
of a pile of legs and arms, and I
wondered If he was going to cut off
min* and put them with those I saw.
"That nurse kept talking to my lit
tie mother, and they made the nev:
doll Hay 'papa' and ‘mamma,’ and thai
nurse »ald, *W> will go to the ahopa
and get her a hat and shoes and stock •
Ings.’ She never once said a thing
a boil t a dress, am! that doll only had
on a thin white slip; but that is Just
like the nurse; she never once thought
of that poor doll crossing the ocean
and being cold; all seh thought of was
something that would be pretty. Well,
she got my little mother out of the
store, and there I lay. trembling with
fear, I had given up all hope, when the
door was opened and in came that
nurse, leading my little mother by the
hand.
"Bhe was crying and screaming I
want my doll; where is my poor Dru
sllla, I want her. I don’t want that
great bll doll; I cant hold her in my
arms and love her.’
"That nurse was trying to make her
stop, but she cried all the louder, and
at last the man had to take me out
from behind the legs and arms.
"You should have seen my littl*
mother’s face w’hen she saw me; she
stopped crying and ran toward the
man smiling through her tears and
saying, ’You darling, nrusilb* you was
most scared to death, wasn’t you?’
Then she hugged me so tight In her
arms that I was afraid 1 should burst.
But I can tell you, Bobby Jones. I was
Just as glad to see her as she was
glad to see me, only I did not sa.V
anything before that nurse. I would
not let her know I cared a bit.’
Bohbv Jones waited a minute, but
Drusllla was nodding, and he kne*
the story was ended.
"You certainly did have a narrow
escape.” he remarked, “but that you
had an adventure and a little fright
does not matter, does it?"
“Of course not," answered Drusllla,
“T Just could not live without having
an adventure once in a while. Good
night, Bobby Jones."

TINY..
(By Virginia Vale.)
Once upon a time Tiny, the littlb
field tnouae ran away and would have
been lost if his father had not happen
ed along just then and fotlnd him.
Tiny thought then he would never
go away from his home again but it
was not long before he began to wish
he could see something besides his
home.
He thought. I will go for a little
walk and this time I will be very care
ful and see Just how to get back. He
lay down and soon was fast asleep.
Now Tiny didn't know that he had
been talking out loud and that his
mother had heard all his plans for
going out to see the w'orld.
While he was sleeping she very
carefully tied a strong thread around
his neck and kept the end in her hand.
W hen Tiny woke he was rested and
felt Just like starting out on his trip
that he had planned so carefully. His
mother smiled as he started out am!
as he went she unwound the thread.
Tiny walked along nibbling at the
corn and young leaves as he went. A
fat squirrel was sitting on a tree eat
ing an acorn. Tiny said very politely:
"Good morning. 1 am out to see the
world Fan you tell me what to see."
"Ye*," said the squirrel. "There is
lots to set* but you better take my ad
vice. Go home and wait until you are
older."
"I am quite old enough now." said
Tiny, "and I think l will go right on."
He walked along until he came to
the edge of a pond. A frog was sitting
on a big log sunning himself. When
he saw Tiny he said: "Hello, are you
coming in the water.”’
Of course Tiny didn’t know that the
frog could swim und he couldn’t, so
he answered: "1 guess so"
The frog gave a leap and in he went.
Silly* Tiny was going to follow when
h# felt a tug at his neck. "My what
waq that ?"
He atarted to go on but he couldn’t.
He had to back up. Of course he did
not know that his mother thought he
had been gone long enough and she
was pulling the thread and as he walk
ed was winding it up in a little bail.
All Tiny knew was that he had to
keep walking backwards, for u he
stopped something pulled and hurt
his neck
When he did reach his home there
sat his mother with the little hall of
thread in her hand and she pulled him
up into her lap and said "Tiny when
are you going to be good and not run
away ?**
"f never will run away again," said
Tiny.

A Lifetime in One Employ
It is hard for Canadians, born and
bred in a country where opportunity and
Incentive to change are almost ever
present, to realize completely the condi
tions that obtain in older countries
wrhere employment is not so plentiful
that a man can afford to leave a firm
with which he has secured a position.
£ome knowledge of the situation may be
gained, however, from the facts contain
ed in a letter sent to The London Mail
by the manager of a famous biscuit firm.
The letter dealing with the periods cf
employment of the various members of
the staff says:
"We have on our books fifty work
people who have each completed more
than fifty years of continuous employ
ment with us, as follow'*:
"One over tfo years, 8 over 57 years. 2
over 56 years, 13 over 54 years* 15 over 51
year*. 2 over 50 years. Total. 50.
"Of our clerical staff:
"One man ha* completed 58 year* with
us.
"One man ha* completed 54 year* with
us.
"Ont man has completed 53 years with
us.
"Among our factory workpeople and
our clerical *taff combined we have es
aetly 1.000 men who have etch completed
at least 30 year*’ continuous service with
us. They range from* 3* to nearly htl
year* of service.’’—The Winnipeg Trib
