I ll ■■■ UNCLE HORACE j AND THE BABY | 6 •O.O'O-O-O'OO'O -O*'o-•o-o—i With the callousness of a bachelor. Horace declared that all babies looked j alike to hiiu. But that was before his sister Lill caiue home for a visit and j brought her baby. The day she was to arrive Horace was even unkind enough j to say that be would be glad to see Lill, but that he wished alio would leave the baby behind. "A baby al ways keeps a house stirred up." lie complained. "They are either crying , or hungry or sleepy or in some abnor- j mal state, and you are expected to sympathize with all their woes." His | mother only remarked severely in reply that he had once been a baby himself j and one of the very worst she had 1 "ever raised." When the triumphant procession ar- | rived, bringing Lill and the baby from the station. Horace kissed his sister : ami then stared at the white bundle in her arms. "Now, I know 3011 want to see the baby right away," she said, ami began removing layers of gauze veiling from the face of the infant. 1 When the little pink face was uncov ered, Horace nerved himself to look and think of some flattering remark that would satisfy the mother. He weut up gingerly. "George! it's really pretty, isn't it?" ! he cried in untactful surprise. Lill and the other members of the family, I from his father down, all looked at him resentfully. "Of course it's pret ty. It's a beautiful child." Horace tried to retrieve himself. "I 1 meant that it's nice to look at—not red and squashy looking. It can open its eyes, too, and it's all fuzzy ou top of its head." These unhappy observations only dragged liiiu lower in the esteem of the family. "Please call my baby she and not it," Lill said resentfully. "You needn't be so surprised either because she is pretty!" Horace tried to cxplulu anew that he realty admired the baby, but he was in disgrace. The family el bowed hi in away from the baby and left him out of the conversation with ostentatious neglect. But the baby, with the perversity of its sex, took a great fancy to Uncle Horace. It soon preferred him to any other member of the family and would even leave its mother's arms for his. When she saw him or heard bis voice, she smiled ecstatically and gurgled like a little brook. This sort of thing won Horace. From a state of indifference to his niece lie came to be her wildest champion. He gave her all sorts of gifts, from a rattle to a tiny ruby ring. He learned to talk the googoo lan guage, and he became a perfect 11 oi sanco in his whist club, where he Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat.

I would stop the? lead while'he told sto ! ries of the beauty and cleverness of the j baby. One evening Lill had put the baby to j sleep, turned the gas low in the room ! and gone down stairs to join the family in the library. She stole up stairs again in about half an hour to see if the child were covered and still sleeping. The family were startled by a shrill scream, j Llll came flying down stairs to say that the baby was gone. Everybody said | this could not be so. and they went up | stairs with her to search for the baby. | who couldn't walk and could only hitch I across the floor at about 11 snail's rate of locomotion. But the baby was gone | nevertheless. The family were quite sure 110 one had couie in at the front door since Horace went out to his 1 whist club just after his sister had left ' the baby. Some kidnaper had stolen in by the back stairs or climbed over the i porch. None of the family was really ' surprised that the baby bad been stol j en, for they believed so firmly in its 1 beauty and cleverness that tliey were I sure everybody must covet it. | The grandfather hurried to the po lice station, the aunts went out to give the alarm to the neighbors. Lill and her mother alone sat down by the exnp | ty cradle and gave themselves up to their grief. There was the sound of an opening door and footsteps on the 1 stairs. Horace came Into the room, carrying the baby in bis arms. It was wrapped in its cloak and a blanket. "Oh, you found my baby!" Lill cried. She and lier mother implored him to j tell bow he had got it away from the kidnapers. They begged to know the story. j Horace was bewildered. "Why," he said, "I just wrapped the baby up and ■ slipped over to the whist club with i her. I wanted to show her to the folks. 1 was afraid you wouldn't let me take her if I asked, you are such a ninny about her. They thought she was awfully cute too." "And so you were the one that took the baby?" Lill cried. "And you took her to the whist club lu her night gown? And 1 was nearly wild." The other members of the family were sent for. The police were called off the case, and the neighbors were assured that the baby was safe. LIU held the baby in her arms. Her mother and sisters stood on guard i around her. "To think, Horace." she j said mournfully, "that you would take I the baby over to your whist club in her nighty when she has a lovely real lace dress! How could you?"— Chicago News. "Speaking of sales," says the Kenne bec (Ale.) Journal, "there have been some stories told of the rummage sales which have been so popular this fall. At one such sale in a Maine city, among the curious wares displayed was a set of false teeth. And not only did several would be customers try them to see if they would fit, but at last a customer bought them and carried them off in triumph. This Is the solemn truth " The German Protectorate in east Af rica has a coast line of G'JO miles, an area of 384,000 square miles and in cludes a portion of Zanzibar. The pop ulation Is estimated at 000,000 natives and about 1,000 foreigners, mostly Ger mans. The country is being rapidly developed, for the German government is encouraging commercial enterprise and immigration by bounties and sub sidles. A Chicago inventor has perfected and patented a device for registering the number of calls on the telephone, which las heretofore been tried in valu. It has long been the aim of telephone companies to adjust rates according to the number of calls, but the labor of keeping account of the same rendered K impracticable until the Chicago arti san supplied the long needed iurontion, HALTING PESSIMISTS CRITICISMS OF FRIENDS WORSE THAN BLOWS OF ENEMIES. How In It Tho.t Huniauity la Not Wurtli Snvlnu? —1 input tenor- of the Knowing Onen With the t'ondact of the Igiiuraut, [Special Correspondence.] In at least one city, in one set, re formers are discouraged. They meet only to condole and denounce, each to urge his at tit title on all as being the only high philosophical attitude possi ble. "The proletariat," they say, "is hope lessly submerged and indisposed to comprehend it. The middle class and the aristocracy of culture are subservi ent by force of circumstances—'a man must live'—and above sail the new rich, the ruling class, custodians of the flag, whose millions are invested in the souls of ministers, the intellects of teachers, the opinions of readers, the votes of citizens, the Judgments of courts, the control of hlghwuys, the power to Issue counterfeit money, the power to carry on foreign war against liberty." All these discouraged reformers agree that humanity Isn't worth saving, de serves its fate and that to contribute 15 cents to n cause would be folly and extravagance. "Let each look out for himself now," they say. A beautiful looking woman from an other city announced that history showed that no progress ever came from middle classes. The rulers cau afford to feel sympathy. Among the proletariat is rebellion, but the middle class Is exclusively sordid. "They make me so confounded mad," she ex claimed, "that I wouldn't turn my hand over to have It different. I've heard the great magnates say that they must have a big army, as the bottom is going to fall out of the speculative market some time. Let It fall." In still another city a man was lately requested to draw from some funds which a dormant reform club had laid away for the republishing of a tract which gave important data which had already had a large circulation and was still being called for. The request for republishing was signed by three workers who wished to circulate the tract. Now, this man was one of the discouraged and believed that the funds should be used for reformers feasting together and encouraging one another's hearts. lie replied to the re quest after this manner: "In my Judg ment, America has decided for the plutocracy. Personally 1 am contout to await the downfall of the money pow er by physical force." So the workers who could loast afford it republished the tract, and the discouraged man and the dormant, club's money occupy the attitude which usually characterised Mr. Mieawber. Far be it from the present exponent to expostulate with pessimists. They have the floor. They keep* the floor against any who would wish very much to say that physical force with out a widespread knowledge of data could not, from the very nature of the ease, result iu the downfall of the money power. The pessimists keep the floor as persistently as their enemy, the monopolists, who have everything to gain by keeping it and who an* also impatient at the slightest, humblest, most apologetic interruption of their unending addresses set forth in dailies, weeklies, monthlies, quarterlies and what not. With the pessimist— -1 twirl my thumbs, fall back into my chair, Fix on the wainscot a dislreutiful Blare, And when 1 hope his bitterness is out Reply discreetly, "To be sure;" "no doubt." The monopolist counsels the workers in reform ranks to shut up because tiieir foolish talking, striking and walking delegates not only interfere with monopolistic plans, but make it worse for themselves—from his point of view. The pessimist—well. If he knows why he wants to injure the cause by his eternal ean't-do-anythiugs, he may explain! No one else can! For, being so all wise, he cannot fall to know that the criticisms of friends are more paralyzing than the blows of ene mies. When men iu uuspeakablo indigna tion at repeated assaults on liberty in South Africa are writing in their blood a lesson for all bondholders and fran chise grabbers who contemplate the murder of little nationalities, some "prominent people" Issue proclama tions advising submission to the inevi table, as resistance only makes the tax es higher, taxes, because of tyranny, belug already insupportable. These prominent people's influence is identical with that of our discouraged friends. When they counsel submis sion. their mental state of indignation in submission is Immaterial. "Massa chusetts will acquiesce with alacrity," said Daniel Webster, and those who acquiesced with mental reservations were counted in with alacrity. Only those who found ways to proclaim aloud their nonacqulescence bad to be counted out. How is it that humanity is not worth saving? Thr-r enslavp their ehiliiren'n ehildrpri Who make compromise with sin. POPS the old doctrine of infant dam nation survive In the high philosophy of the pessimists? Are the children's children also so reprehensible in the pessimists' prophetic eyes that, we may justlj- surrender what the fathers won for thein as well as for us? Foor, sad humanity! They toil on lonely prairies where a valueless week ly is an unattainable luxury, In city darkness, in suffocation and starvation, with never any start in life, suffering Insult from the eliaritables If they ns pire to strike and blamed by reformers for unfed pusillanimity. That one should surrender from physical inca pacity to bear more suffering is natu ral. As In Victor Hugo's pitiful vision: "The wretched have their feet ou red hot irons! They hunger! They thirst! They die! Quick, quick! Humanity has not a moment to lose." The pessimists have access to litera ture. They listen to orators In great halls. They have large brains. The blood vessels which supply food to their brains are large from early and constant use. They ore so oversup plled with data on economics that they cannot Imagine that any one could hick. They canuot contribute to the slow work of spreading the truth, as they feel that every one is. or might be, as well supplied as they. Their imaginations cannot picture a man selling his vote simply because be knows of 110 great interests at stake. Humanity is noble when Informed and aroused. "The bravest fight since Marathon," sakl the Massachusetts senior senator, and still the little na tions fight to save their nationalities. They fight against foreign rule because all can see that the foreigners only want them for exploitation. Concealed tyranny developing in one's own na tion is not easily recognized. The very virtues of inAiiklnd make them slow to learn that the leading Anglo- Saxon capitalists are "kin in sin," as Murk Twain puts it. We have had comparatively little po litical experience. Before manhood suffrage was won everything went to teach the common people not to meddle in political affairs. On the mother's side still man's inheritance may lw; called political idiocy. I-abor union work has a heritage from very ancient guilds, as shown in Ward's "Ancient Lowly." The descendants of members of the old guilds probnbly find union work easier than political, while the descendants of younger sons of English nobles, as the embattled farmers of the Revolution are said to have been, would find political work easier to do. Those who are discouraged must have miscalculated the strength of con servative forces. Some woman suffra gist has estimated that It usually takes 40 years for a new political Idea to per colate through the mass of old instincts and become a law. The thought of the emancipation of labor through the pub lic ownership of the means of employ ment Ih too great a thought to perco late quickly through the mass. There are psychologic impossibilities. Think ing requires time. Perhaps the aggressions of the plu tocracy, the necessities of speculators who pla}- with nations for stakes, will not allow the quiescent attitude advis ed by the discouraged. Even an ex president's son Is summarily dismissed from the army because his father's support of foreign conquests was judg ed to be a trifle cool. Into his place is hastily thrust the son of a judge of the supremo court who is sitting on the im perialist policy of the past two years. Again and again we are reminded of the words of an aroused millionaire: "Prescience should arouHe in business men an even sharper ferment of reform than distress has created among work ingmen. Business men should make common cause with the worklngnieu. Only by such a co-operation can the country be saved from the catustropho toward which its rights, prosperity and liberty are being hurried by the greed and fust of a small body of the richest and most dangerously disloyal men that i>opular government was ever threatened by." Why, man! They do bestride the narrow world I.ike a rolossufc! And we petty men Walk under their huge legs and peep about To find ourselves dishonorable graves. A discouraged attitude is not the at titude of the enemies of lalor nor of any doers of deeds. "I control cir cumstances." said Napoleon. "Soldiers, you have rushed like a torrent over the tops of the Apennines! You have done this and this, and you shall do greater things!" was his style before the army of Italy. In Egypt he did not com ment on the long distance from home, the cost and folly of It and the certain ty of defeat by the combined monarch ies of Europe. Full of enthusiasm he galloiHHl to the front and said. "Sol diers, from the tops of these monu ments 40 centuries look down upon fou!" Byron said of Napoleon: A single stop into the right had made Thia man the Washington of worlds betrayed. When our fathers were accomplish ing unprecedented things, the leading men did not say, "We must all hung togetiier or we shall aJI hang separate ly, so let us give in and bo hanged!" Patrick Henry did not say: "If It weren't that the people weren't worth the effort, 1 should say that liberty was n desirable acquisition, hut as it is sur render or death, I'm for surrender. 1 know not what course others may take, ami as we can't depend on them anyway, we had better be neutral, or, if necessary, we must go with the British." When John Adams was starting for the general congress in Philadelphia, Jonathan Bewail, the friend of his youth, his fellow student and asso ciate at the bar, made a powerful effort to deter him. Mr. Sewall himself had just accepted the post of attorney gen eral in British employ. He urged that Britain was determined on her sys tem and was irresistible and would be destructive to him and all those who should persevere in opjiosition. Adams replied: "I know that Great rritain Is determined ou her system, and that very fact determines me on mine. I see we must part, and, with a bleeding heart, I say, I fear, for ever." So must we part with him who will surrender now. We shall march, prospering, not through his prea- Songs shall inspirit us, not from his lyre; Deeds will be done while he boasts his quiescence, bull bidding crouch whom the rest bade aspire.
