A Nnmelcss Answer
Dear children for the second time
I have before me a postal card from a
boy or girl which I can read all except
his or her name, which li the most Im
portant thing on the whole card. A girl
could not be so careless, so we will scold
tho writer, who lives on Coral street, as
follows- You ask for (I) a fairy story,
and, as I nm not selfish, I wtshr our mem
bers would write for me a fairy story, en
titled, "Tho .'amele33 Answer:" (2) also.
"A Pet Story j" (3) a "School Story." I
will now talk nbout the three subjects
wnicn our menu has sent in.
TEMPTATION When I first got. your
card I was tempted not to answer It, but
I resisted the temptation and feel better
for It, ub we always do, because It makes
us STRONGER
PROMPTNESS If you are late to
school 10 minutes every day yau are late
B0 minutes a week or how many hours
during a year? The sun Is prompt, the
rain Is prompt, the spring is prompt and
so Is the summer, The moon Is prompt
and the stars do not forget to go to bed
when morning comes.
If any of our members possess a
father who Is a train dispatcher or a
locomotive engineer. I wish you would
ask your father what PROMPTNESS
means, and I -will print his an8?sr, to
gether with your picture, here In our club
news.
WILLINGNESS: It Is a terriblo thing
to disappoint a child, and your editor hat
worked and worked far Into the nieht
sometimes so as not to disappoint the
members of our club. He Is WILLING to
do eery thing he can to HELP you. even
If some of you, like our friend on Coral
street, write your names so they cannot
be read. Get this: Thought. Force, Will.
First, you have the Idea or thought; then
you have the FORCE wnlch starts tho
thought In action, and then you have the
WILL to carry on what you do you are

a young lady she should spiel something
ed a piano in years and anyhow, sho
never plays without the notes, and the
first thing you know the host is kick
ing himself that he didn't take out
collision insurance on the piano on
account of tho terrible Makkas she is
giving it? Well, that's the way it is
with a politician which says he is out
of politics and refuses to be inter
viewed. All it needs is that the fol
lowing morning some one tells him,
'Good-morning,' and he says, 'Well, as
long as you put it that way to me, I
will give you my views on the tariff,
preparedness, Mexico and the rail
ronds,' and for the next six months
he goes every night honrsc to bed
from saying, 'Well, stick it in your
pocket and smoke it after a while.' "
"I don't think he's got any such in
tentions, Zapp," Birsky said. "He
figures that he must got to resign if
he wants to keep his self-respect."
"That may be, too, Birsky," Zapp
agreed. "I don't deny it for a mo
ment, Birsky, because when it comes
to a politician's sclf-rcspcct, Birsky,
a whole lot of politicians respects
themselves on account of things which
a business mnn would run away to
Canada for. For instance, Bryan and
Garrison respects themselves for
quitting Mr. Wilson when he is in a
tight place, Birsky, whereas they
would not respect themselves if they
stuck to him and seen him through.
In fact, Birsky, you couldn't tell what

a politician is going to respect him

willing to respect himself and put the

Mr. Wilson is responsible for all the

"Even so, Zapp." Birsky said, "a
feller which comes to make a criticism
from Mr. Wilson needn't got to tell
no lies about him. That was an awful
showing up which Senator Root give
him at Carnegie Hall last week."
"Sure, I know, Birsky," Zapp re
torted, "aber politics is tho same as
the cloak and suit business. A feller
which makes up a rotten line of gar
ments finds it a wholo lot safer to
knock his competitors than to talk
about the price and quality of his
own goods, understand me, and if ho
picks out some particular competitor
and calls him all kinds of sucker
names, y'understand, the chances is
that you could go over there and buy
tho same goods only a better quality
for half the money. So, therefore,
Birsky, when this here Root goes to
work and accuses Wilson, understand
me, as a business man, Birsky, I come
to the conclusion that after all it

for Wilson when he run3 next fall

ain't got no confidence at all in Root.
Whatever that feller says don't mean
nothing to me except that the people
he represents got Him ns a lawyer be

case, nouoay couiu. There's such a
thing as a feller being so good a law
yer, Birsky, that whenever he comes
into a courtroom everybody but the
jury knows that the side he doesn't
represent is in the right."
Birsky shook his head sadly.
"Lawyers is n pretty hard bunch,
Zapp," ho said. "I used to think that
there was nnyhow one lawyer which
would sooner bo right than in right,
but tho way it looks now, all them
prominent, high-clns3 Boston lawyers,
which went down to Washington nnd
claimed that Brandcis is pretty near
as bad as they arc is going to prove
it on him."
"Yow, they would prove it on him I"
Znpp exclaimed. "Tho only thing
they could prove on him is that, ac
cording to the way the high-priced
lawyers of tho country look at it,
Brandeis ain't fit to sit on tho Su
premo Court."
"Ai Gewaltl" Birsky exclaimed. "I
didn't think he was that kind of a
man!"
"Well, ho is, Birsky, nnd ho should
ought to bo proud of it," Zapp re
plied. "You sec, Birsky, a high

a lawyer wants the Judges of tho
Supreme Court to agree with him.
Now, it don't look that Brandeis
would bo that kind of a Supreme
Court Judge, Birsky, and, therefore,
according to high-priced lawyers ho

not paying bonuses to bankers as a

PETER PIO went down the Sunbeam
tone turning every little while to look
at his tall. "I do wish that curl would get
out of my tall," he was saying to himself,
"it would look more like Mister Elephant's
If only It were straight."
By and by he came to Mrs. Cat's house
and It so happened that tha good feline
herself happened to be coming down the
steps "Good morning." said Peter, bow
ing so low he bumped his chin on-the
ground
At this Mrs. Cat arched her back and
made the fur ttand right up straight
Peter Pig looked at her In amazement
"How do you make your hair stand up
like that?" he asked
"It does not concern you, but there are
little muscles In my back which make my
fur Btand up whenever I want It to"
"So your mind does it?" queried Peter
"Of course," purred Mrs. Cat softly
"Then why can't I make my hair stand
up, tooT" asked Peter, turning and look
Ing at the top of his back
"Your head isn't big enough to hold a
brain which can think faBt enough to
make the ono or two hairs on your back
stand up."
"Oh I" exclaimed Peter ns he walked
away
When Peter got home he. said to his good
wife: "I wish ou would look at my
back and se If the hale stands up any
when I get angry '' '

Birsky, they claim that this hero
