BO PEEP'S SHEEP.
The Bull Moose party seems to
have died of rush of blood to :lie head.
Mr. Roosevelt might well have said:
"The Party, 'Tie I." lie absorbed the
progressive republicans nnd failing to
land litem In substantial official pow
er, he lost them again. There Is still
a scattered following but Little Ho
Peep will not find them.
Whether they will come home to the
fold of republican party or find their
way Into the democratic flock Is a
matter of Interest, it all depends, of
course, upon how much real progress
there was In the party which sought
to he called "The Progressives."
The renaissance of Cannonlsm and
Pcnroatsm in congress, must neces
sarily drive airy one with a glimmer
ing of progressive Ideals Into the dem
ocratic party In Hie lHlti election. Edi
tor Norman liapgood figures It that
very little will he needed to secure
nearly all of the left over Moosers to
(he support of President Wilson. "How
absurd a proposition," says Mr. Map
good, "for them to he In a party domi
nated by Penrose. Gallinger, Hannon,
Mann ’ How reasonable for them to
support a president who has been
courageous and enlightened against
prlvllega.”
We scarcely know whether we are
justified in looking for the reasonable
' thing In a band of dreamers who per
mitted themselves to he exported by
those who sought to preaervn monop
oly and privilege by govermental fa
vor, allowing Perkins and Roosevelt
to dominate the party and tie It to the
old fellah of the protective tariff. Mr.
Hapgood thinks that now that the
president has put through "his prime
controversial measures he can afford
an inaka his party fealty less acute."
and can also reach out a persuasive
hand by going in for some of their pet
measures. Of course, we are glad ami
willing for all converts to the demo
' erotic party, who join us honestly In
the search of progress. Nor, arc wo
in the least averse to accepting any
[truly good hints in the way of progress
from outside, at the same time, we do
not think it Is In the least necessary
tdAput out magnates to attract the left
over Moosers. Those who were hon
estly in search of progress will event
ually raalixe that the decay and full
of the parly calling itself progressive
was essential to progress. The re
actionary democrats, by the bye are
very nearly a* lonely as the remains
<rf the Moosers. 1-et them all alone
and they will come home
TO DISCUSS OUR ARMY.
Harpers Weekly promises to discuss
“what Is the matter with our army
nnd wltat ought to be done about It"
In a series of forthcoming special ur*
tteles, which we nre told will prove
startling but untainted by Jingo We
are Inclined to think that a slight fla
vor' of Jingo will do no harm, provided
, of course, that it takes the form of
Insisting that this great country shall
l»rn\tde Itself with land and sea forces
adequate for Its defense and not the
form of declaring that the country Is
adequately prepared for trouble wlien
It Is not.
About the surest wav to fall down
Is to think we stand until we get heady
with Ihs thought. Perhaps the great
est lesson to he learned from the war
In Europe Is the Imperative need for
economy and good judgment In the
■nay Uncle Pam's money Is disbursed.
What the public wants lo know Is
whether Its money Is really buying the
things it is spent for. Harper's de
viates that we are spending for a few
thousand men—without counting pen
sions almost as much as France
spends to maintain her great army
with pensions, and counting our pen
sion expenses we are spending twice
as much This is preposterous, hut
we do not doubt that It Is a conser
vative estimate. The amount of mon
ey that Is slashed about for |>olitlcal
favors and special graft In our expen
ditures for the army Is well known to
be a scandal. The only way to end a
mandat is to open II up and let the
purifying power of public opinion work
upon it.
1-et us rememlwr that public opin
ion In this country is the national con
edenr* It must tike up Its lurden,
before the nation can throw off its
error.

HOW MR. FOX LOST.
Mr Fox had not bes»n very mircesuful
In finding fai Menu or geese, for the
farmer over the hill kept Iris poultry
yard well protected by traps, so Mr.
Fox had to put on his thinking cap and
plan how lie could get In his winter
supplies.
"There is that silly pig that lived un
der the hill,” It* bmld to himself; “I’ll
get him to help me bring home what 1
can find handy In the farmer’s store
house; there will not be any traps there,
and then when I am through with Mr.
Pig I'll cat him."
Mr. Fox laughed and smacked his
mouth as ho thought of poor, silly Mr.
TMg, and he tVotted off down the hill.
Mr. Pig saw him coming and he lock
ed the door, for ho was not quite aurg
of Mr. Fox’s feeling toward him.
Mr. Fnx knocked at the door and call
ed: “Mr. Pig, Mr. Pig, come out; 1 have
something Important to tell you."
Wf rrctST Y
But Mr. Tig wm not to ho taken In no
curtly; ho ran upstairs anil oponml n
window.
"What do you won 17” he asked, lean
ing over the eIII. "1 am very buey up
here repairing my roof, and cannot coni,
down."
"Well,'' said Mr. Fox. "the farmer
over the hill Is very cruel and sets traps
THE WAYS OF THRIFT
ONE GOOD WAY OUT.
A won an shabbily dressed appeared
at the office of a sub-diviston In the
town of Haxelcreet nefvr I‘ulhnan, 111.
The first house Hint an acre lot was
ready for sale at $1,550. This woman
brought with her a little over fifteen
dollars which a long period of scrimp
ing and saving Imd accumulated. The
purpose of her call that day on Oliver
IVateon, a real estate man, was to buy
that house
He looked Into the ease. The wotpsn
had three children nnd a husband who
added to the faintly misfortunes by
•he *R>oose habit."
"She had to go to shops each week,"
said Watson, to get Anderson Iwe ll
call him Anderson, because now he Is
one of the most Influential rtttxena of
town and might not like to have his
imst recalledl and his pay envelope.
He could never get by the saloon* with
his pay intact She left with the agree
ment that she would pay $25 down
and $lO eadi month and the house was
hers.
Torn with four amt apprehension
the woman returned to the disrepu
table place they culled "home." lief
own temerity In parting with her
worldly all. amt the fact that she must
borrow money for the first payment
overwhelmed her. and she cried atl
that night.
Nevertheless the family moved Into
the new house, whose new (mint ap
pe * red almost too virtuous In the midst
of tail wed* and trampled grass. An
derson looked out into the new hack
yard and saw •omelhinß length!* to

to Injure me all around his poultry yard.
Of course, I must live, and I have a
plan which I nm willing to share with
you. It Is this: Wo will go to his
storehouse tonight and got meal and
corn, and If there happens to bo a plooa
of bacon"—Mr. l'lg drew In tils head
when ho hoard bacon, and Mr. Fox said:
"I did not mean bacon: “1 meant lamb.
I never eat bacon, I can assure you, iny
dear Mr. l’tg.”
Being thus assured, Mr. Pig put out
his head again end Mr. Fox went on
with Ids plan. "I think wo might ba
able to get some hay also for a nice
warm lied If you know how to get Into
the barn."
Mr. Pig promised to meet Mr. Fox at
the old apple tree that night, and Mr.
Fox trotted hack lo his home laughing
to think how easy it had been to get
Mr. Pig to help him.
"We must be very careful not to go
near the poultry yard," said Mr. Fox
that night as he and Mr. Pig walked
toward the farm. "First you get In the
store house window and throw out the
supplies. 1 will catch them, as that will
be the hardest work."
Killy Mr. Pig did as he was told and
he worked until he was tired, then Mr.
Fox called to him to come out. “I think
w-e have all we can carry tonight," he
said, "and we will go to my house first,
as It Is the longest distance, and w»
will get the hardest part over with
first.”
And again silly Mr. Pig did as Mr.
Fox proposed. He was so tired the next
night that he was lnte in meeting Mr.
Fox, nnd when they retched the store
house It was late. "We will have to
work quickly tonight," said Mr. Fox,
“and I think you better throw ont a bag
of meal and then take any meat yoA
see hanging there, and we w-IU be off at
once. We can, come back for your sup
plies another time.”
When they were ready Jo leave Mr
Fox said: "I will carry the meal and
you take the meat." He knew that Mr.
Pig would eat the meat mid he was
not so sure nlsiut the meal.
They had to cross a river on their way
to Mr. Fox's nome nnd when they reach
ed the bridge over It Mr. Fox, who had
the hag of meal over his shoulder, rest
ed It on the side of the bridge. lie
did not notice, however, that he wa* too
near the edge nnd the weight of the
bag trlppd him over, nnd down ha fell
Into the water.
The hag had become twisted around
him In such a way that lie was held un
der by Its weight nnd was drowned.

The day after Helen had planned
to make young Van Buren confess
about the forged check, she was busily
at work on her typewriter when Paul
came In. Frank saw Van Buren walk
over to Helen and talk with her for
some time. Finally Frank saw Helen
give him a meaning look and a nod of
the head. At this, Frank went to
Paul's father's office and said: “Mr.
Van Buren, if you will come with me
a moment I think you will find out
who indorsed my name to that check
for $1,500. Now please try and take
It calmly, for prohahly what you are
about to hear may be somewhat of a
shock to you.” *
Whereupon Frank nnd the old gen
tleman went through some Inner of
fices, unseen by Paul, who was earn
estly talking to Helen. Finally they
were just opposite the place where
Helen and Paul were talking, but were
hidden by a frosted glass partition,
Just a bit higher tlfan their hends, so
they could henr every word that was
said by Helen nnd young van Buren.
As they listened they could hoar
Helen and Paul talking louder and
louder. Finally Helen said, "Yes, Paul,

NO X-MAS GIFT,
CARDS INSTEAD
Battle Creek, Mich.—To diminish ex
travagant Christmas gifts with the ob
ject of ImTewsing gifts to chrugty, th«
Hattie Creek Mtnsterl.il Association has
started a novel movement It Is hoped
tho new scheme will affect the whole
country, like the "Spur" idea.
The simplicity of the plan commends
It instead of buying your friend an
expensive gift you mail him a card of
fering the felicitations of thg holiday
season, telling him you propose to give
to charity the amount you would usual
ly expend on his gift and asking him to
Join In the new movement.
The new plan Is not devised to save
money, it la explained, but simply to
divert money from extravagant Christ
mas giving to the work of charity and
relief of the needy, both In title nation
and In Europe.
The following text has been suggested
by tbs Ministerial Association of Hattie
Creek for use on « general malting card
to t>e sent out in advance of Christ
mas.
My Christmas Decision.
Every Christmas season makes your
friendship and mine more precious and
our love more tender. This year the
thought of that love has been bringing
to me a new consciousness of the
needs of the whole world for Christmas

as you suggest, you must first return
the $1,600 you stole from your father
by forging Frank Deming's name to
that check and you must also tell your
father that Frank was in no way con
cerned In the transaction."
On hearing this, the old man was
for bursting through the nearby door
and confronting his son, but Frank
whispered, “Walt!” Then they heard
Paul say Ao Helen, "Yes, I did forge
that chedK, but It was only to get
even with that fellow Demlng. I had
been gambling heavily and at the
time I needed the money badly, but
that’s all gone by now. Helen, for
give me and I will see father and tell
him the truth.”
At this, Frank could restrain Phut's
father no longer.
"So you are my son,” said the old
man. “You, the son whom I counted
on to take care of the business when
I was gone. You, you, but I guess it's
my fault after all, tn giving you money
you had not earned, to squander on
things that only an idler knows of.

you to know that my Christmas gift to
you will be quite simple, but warmed
with the fire of a new love, for I am go
ing to give an extra gift to the needs of
