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. wt eL'bane a bite to erat \f i oonT cape I / thatY twc ou> , (vetue I ' IJ " " ,L - H£N£ liu 7R AMO 7WS/ 1 j CofJ THE e&twi l TH Wf / X fi \ X / DU W6 ov en- AH nett I saie CAM GUT-/ \tt.wve« CA/E/ f "fyjICC OV TH K\~ ) wk.

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 INDOOR SPORTS .4/*— • 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. (Copyright, 1911. by the McClure. News paper Syndicate. N. T. City.)

I I 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, If you want me to go away with you, rots.

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.

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.
