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

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

"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

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.
