Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt, having lioth recently heen In Boston at the same time —going even on the mime expree* from New York, but bh gome one Bald, "on mieli different train* of thought"—the Boston Tr«n*rrtpt edge* the opportunity to preash on Republican unity. "Instead of dwelling upon the dif ferences of theae erstwhile friend* and fellow workers.” say* the Transcript, "we believe the muss of the American people today find far more Interest and satisfaction In keeping before their mind* the fundamentals for which both have fought In the past and are ready to fight for In the fu ture." It wa* the*« "fundamental*" which the Democratic teacher* pointed out bo persistently In the last presidential campaign, but which were Ignored with considerable Ingenuity, both liy the Bull Mooeere and llie old line Re publican#. Roosevelt, stuck to privi lege and epeclal Interest no lesa va liantly that did Taft, who died of hi* tariff, hut Roosevelt sugar-coated ami roaa-tluled hia tariff policies by matching them with unmatchable So cialistic theories with which they almply Could not trot. It wa* the effort of saad Democrat* to make the "fundamental*" for which both the Bull Monger* and old-fash ioned Republican# were striving, very clear during the last presidential cam paign Jt la now llte effort of both wings of the party of privilege to come together on common ground to meet the enemy He is twice armed whose quarrel I* Just.

Once upon a time there lived a king In a far-off country, who had a very wicked nephew, who was to he hla heir to the throne when Ills uncle died. Thl* nephew wa* not willing to wait until the old king should die a natural death, but tried to get rid of the king In many way* until the old king hardly cured to eat the food that wn» put before him, for fear of being poisoned He used to take long ride* Into tha country, dressed aa a peasant, when ha could escape from hi* nephew, and one day, while he whs passing through a little village he haw a small baker shop, with nice looking tarl* and buns on a shining tin plate In the window. If there wan one thing the old king lilted It wa* tarta first of all, and after tnat nuns were ms next neat Us ing. *o he Stopped before the door of the shop and got off hla horse. Of courae the baker, who wa* a young man, by the way, did not know the king and thought he wa* a peas ant, but for all that he Hold him the tarta and buna, giving him all the attention he would give the king had he known hlin. When the king rode away from the ■hop hr whk thinking what a. nice, hnnoat fao« the young man hHil, and that If ho hud him In his kitchen to cook for him he would never he afraid to cat the thlngx he cooked, for he was sure he would not fall under the Influence of the had nephew, and he hired by him to do Imrm to the king. The king hail not gone very far from the linker shop when he heard some one . ailing, "What Ho! What llo!” and looking behind him he was astonished to see the baker running after hltn as fast an he could. The king stopped hln horse and watt ed for the young man to come up to him, and was surprised to nee In one hand he carried a purse. The king was still mole surprised when the baker came nearer to him to find the purse was hla "He is honest—l knew he wan," nald Iho king, a* he rode away after thank ing the baker and trying to reward him; but the young man nald no man should be rewarded because he did not toko that which belonged to itn ot her. A short time after that the king's cook fell sick and died, an the old king sent tor the honest baker and put him In his kitchen to cook tarts and buns for him. i One day the wicked nephew went to the baker and told him he knew a flavor of which the old king was very fond, and If he would use It to flavor llie buns and tarts be was sure the old king would be pleased and reward him for trying to please him. The baker took the bottle which the nephew gave him, and wan about to use It. when the thought cine to him ''Why didn't the king tell me to use hia favorite flavoring!’ I am here to do hla bidding t think I will find out more about this before I use It.” So the baker made his tarts and buns as he always had. and the nephew waited In vain for the old king to die that night from the poison tn Hie loins and tarts, for that wan what ho hatl given the baker to use, catting It the king's favorite flavoring The hgkar took the bottle to a chem ist and found that It contained poison and without saying a word to the king the baker went home and began to watch the nephew. "tic da> when the nephew wan cer tain the baker did not Intend to use the flavoring he had given and not suspecting that the baker knew what It really wan. the nephew ntol# down A Story in Big Figures About ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS sre annually spent 1n the United States on adver tising. Think of that! It's colossal. ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS to tell Un people of this country abont the things that they need for personal adornment, for home comfort or for entertainment and recreation. Also for Ihe Inn provement of municipal conditions, for the further ance of personal ambitions; to reallxe aspirations, to achieve political power. Indeed diversified are the uses of advertising. When you pick up your new spaper and you glance through the advertising columns think of what a tremendous factor In our every-day live* advertising really is ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS yearly for publicity. Imagine what a barren condition thousands of newspaper page* would present If devoid of adver tising Think of how vitally million* of people wrould be affected A to the kitchen and poured the poison Into a pitcher of milk which the baker had ready to tiae In mixing. Now It happened that the baker heard the nephew and hid Ju*t before he reached the kitchen. When he saw what he had done he went to th king with the pitcher of milk and told him what had occurred. Thla was the first time the king had been really aure that hla nephew was trying to poison him, so he called him to him and told him he wanted him to drink a glass of milk with him, that it wa* very rleh and creamy, and he Wanted to share It with him. Then the nephew turned pale and fell on the floor before the king and begged him not to make him drink the milk. "So, then, the milk does contain poison," aald the king, “and if It had not been for the honesty and watch fulness of thla good fellow I ahould have been dead in a short time, and you would have been king.” The nephew did not reply, hut hla al ienee convinced the king that he was guilty. Juat then a loud knocking was heard at the gate of the castle, and when It was answered an old woman, who was supposed to he a witch, ask ed to *ea the king. When she was brought before the king she told him that she had stolen his son, who was supposed to have been drowned when he was a baby by falling overboard from the king’s yacht, but the witch told him that she had secreted heEself on the yacht and drugged the child and,carried It off. She also told the king that she was the child's nurse that was supposed to have drowned herself when the young prince fell overboard. Hhc had done this for some fancied wrong done her by the queen. "But where Is my son and heir?" asked the king "If he was not drowned what did you do with him." "There stands your son," said the witch, pointing to the baker. The poor baker became a prince and the old king lived a happy life the rest of his. days, and was never tired of telling how honest his son was when ho was a poor baker.

"It does not d<>, my friends, to divert our attention from the affairs of this great country.
