NEW SHORT STORIES !
StatllPN 111 Politic*.
The commander of a British vessel !
was a few months ago a guest of Pres- j
ident Cipriano Castro of -Venezuela, i
who did everything in his power to ;
entertain his visitor. One afternoon. >
says The Youth's Companion, the pres- |
ident drove the ofiieer about the city, j
pointing out the monuments which i
adorn the avenues and plazas of the ;
capital of Little Venice.
Portents of the revolution which lias
now involved both Venezuela and tlie
United States of Colombia were not
wanting, and the Englishman, thinking
of the precarious political condition
and noting the number of monuments
in bronze erected to men who were still
living, inquired of the president if it j
were hot somewhat risky to build me
morials to living heroes.
"Yes, senor." replied the president
"but in ease there is a revolution and ,
another party comes into power these :
monuments are hurled down and others j
erected In their places."
"That would seem to be a heavy ex
pense to the state," commented tlie
Englishman.
"True, but honoring our supporters
in tliis manner helps to keep them
faithful and Is worth all the costs."
"I should suggest, then, if you will
pardon tin* advice of a stranger, that
as a measure of economy you have
these statues cast with detachable j
heads, so that when one of your nu- j
inerous revolutions occurs you can \
simply unscrew tlie head of the liu- j
miliated hero and replace it with thai j
of the conqueror."
"Ah, that would never work," re- j
joined the president. "They already
feel that their heads are none too linn- ;
ly fixed on their shoulders, and such an j
arrangement would be entirely too sug
gestive."
A Relative of Santa Claan.
While the special train of George
Gould was on a side track In Missouri
Mr. Gould stepped to earth to stretch
his legs while waiting for a regular
train to pass. It was iu the more rug
ged part of the state, well away from
civilization. A typical inhabitant of the
district stopped a pair of emaciated
mules near the train, lie hailed Mr.
Gould and said;
"Say, mister, we have a new baby at
my dugout, and we ain't got no soap.
My old woman is so stuck up over It
"YOU ALL MUST liK HOME RELATION TO
SANTA CLAUS."
that she's making nie drive fourteen
miles to town to get some nice smelllu'
soap, and I thought rnaylie you'd help
me out by gettin' me a piece of soup
outen one of thorn fancy ears."
Mrs. Gould, who overheard the re
quest, had a porter give the man sev
eral pieces of soap wrapped In some
towels and several articles of tinned
delicacies. The man seemed much sur
prised at such generosity, and as he
turned to drive homeward he shouted
back to Mr. Gould:
"►Say, mister, you all must be some
relation to Saula Glaus."
\ Tlie Dnke, Sure Euoiikli.
A Scotch clerk who wished to com
municate by long distance telephone
with the head of the firm, then at his
country mansion on Itoscneath penin
sula, attempted to call him lip. Get
ting a connection, he inquired, "Who
are you?" "The Duke of Argyll,"
came back the reply, with tlie usual
reciprocal interrogation, "Who are
you?" "Oh," lightly answered the
skeptical clerk, "I'm King Edward
V 11.," a response which is alleged to
have provoked the other end to indig
nant remonstrance. The clerk had
rung up the wrong number and was
connected with the castle of the duke.
Ilail Sat Iu tlie t'lialr.
Queen Anne was once surrounded by
a host of gayly dressed courtiers, and (
in the throng was an old man of
eighty-three, wearing the plain dress
of a country farmer. "Have you ever
seen such a sight before?" asked a
looker on. And the throng was star
tled to hear the old man say, "Never
since I sat in her chair." It was Crom
well's son Richard, who went Into re
tirement on the restoration of King
T buries 11.

The wife of a provincial mayor In
England, who had on some special oc
casion to inscribe lior name after the
various members of the royal family,
wishing to do the right thing, cast an
Inquiring eye on the signatures al
ready inscribed and, seeing "Albert
Edward," "Helena" and "Christian
Victor," seized tlie pen and trium
phantly wrote "Jane!"
MOST LITTLE BABIES I>lE,either from bowel troubles
or from diseases which tliey contract because tlicy
are in a weak and feeble condition from bowel troubles.
Mothers who are seeking the ideal and proper medicine to give their little ones for
constipation. Uiarrhuua, colic and simple fevers will find LAXAKOJ.A the great family
remedy.
It is the best and most effective laxative for children. BEST liecause it is safe and
made entirely of harmless ingredients. BKBT because it is non-irritating and never
gripes or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure aud never fails. BEST
because " Children like it ami ask/or it."
It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent remedies that rack and rend
their little bodies. DON'T DO IT— give them LAXAKOLA.
A few (Irons can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve
colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will check simple fevers,
break up colds und clear the coated tongue. {
Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from
diurrho-a. accompanied with white or green evacuations, from the fact that LAXAKOI.A
neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of fermentation, aids
digestion, relieves restlessness, assists nature and induces sleep.

1 111 physical us well us ill ethical con
ditions all Is u question of scientific ad
justment along lines of least resist
ance, so as to produce the greatest re
sult with the minimum expenditure of
force In relation to the supply of force
buck of respective phenomena. Wheth
er we deal with the chemistry or me
chanics in the cosmos or in connection
I wllli conscious individualities, success
! is only attained in proportion us we act
'on scientific principles. It follows,
then, that as soon as tve decide to live
in social groups we have to take cog
nizance ol' equity in collective rela
tions, that being essential to scientific
dealings tvlth each other. Yet that is
what men have always neglected to
do. They have assumed that piety,
philanthropy and personal purity were
all that was needed to keep social rela
tions in good trim. How idiotic! We
have thus dealt with each other on em
pirical principles. Wc have thus made
a wretched hush out of till social com
pact because acting as if we had noth
ing to do ill discriminating between
two antagonistic forces.
For Instance, truth or righteousness
constitutes a certain specific group of
relations closely connected with each
other, evolving a corresponding set of
| phenomena in human development.
Kvil, wrong or falsehood constitutes an
other certain specific group of relations
also intimately connected with each
other and producing a corresponding
set of results in human growth. The
two groups of relations and plio
aolnena are diametrically opposed to
each other and so, when mixed tip. as
we have most stupidly mixed litem up,
can produce nothing but chaotic, bar
baric conditions In the realm of
thought, emotions and volitions, per
sonal and collective, in the world of
matter or tabid to which that dread
ful mixture may be attached. Ilencc
the utter inutility of piety, philanthropy
and personal purity combined without
tint element of social purity, of col
lective equity, of Industrial honesty,
so utterly repudiated by all ages and
nations, but never quite ns much as to
day by our modern leading nations.
And so we are willing to do all we
can for each other except what is
I right for all. We are uuxious to realize
all the good that is possible in the
midst of the legalization of bottom
wrongs. We give to each other the
spirit of equality in the bosom of the
greatest aiul most criminal inequalities
the earth ever saw. We cannot see the
beauty of legalizing truth in national
life. We etui only sec the transient ad
vantages we may get from each other
through the legalization of our own
human selfishness, whims or foolish
conceits. The spirit of general imita
tion, so intense today, in all the non
i sonsical externals of human existence
i is but the result of nil education which
| breeds the spirit of equality blended
I with that of greed, and thus we upset
j tlie moral order. Equality and greed
! cannot mix hut by producing the most
heartless and repulsive Inequalities
j through the whole social organism, just
I What we have.
] The ensemble of the above indica
tions seents to explain why not even
I radical reformers can consolidate them
! selves into a spoeies of national league
! for the purpose of political and eco
nomic education through several dai
| lies and weeklies in the principal cit
ies, backed with sufficient fluids, and
thus inviting a large circulation. Such
papers should be fixed up ill such n
( way ns to appeal to all classes. They
j should have all that most men require
; today blended with carefully written
j and concise essays on modern social
j problems.
Those problems should be expounded
in an altruistic spirit, each reform
school granting to the others every
fragment of substantial truth each
may involve. Each school should en
deavor to approach the rest for the
purpose of combining a programme
that could contain as mncli essential
truth as possible while eliminating all
that may not be essential 011 the first
stages of a radical social reconstruc
tion. It happens that wo have al
ready two schools which don't need to
quarrel with each other as they do and
which could work together on all that
Is possible and necessary to begin with.
All bottom reformers should remem
ber that 110 new social status can come
out complete all at once. What can
be done as a beginning is to establish
certain fundamental principles of equi
ty in the most important relations be
tween men and the physical forces and
elements around us. The rest shall
follow, cannot fall to follow as long as
universal equity and freedom are the
goal, the ultimatum, the guldiug star
of the reform.
If the generation of today is not
equal to the above principles, to brond
and all pervading sound ideas of hu
man brotherhood, then it does not de
serve success and should not have it.
Then we must hope that a future gen
eration, brighter than ours, shall do
what we were not fit to accomplish be
cause too narrow minded, too secta
rian, so to speak, in our s elal con
cepts. JOSE Gitos.

The Tortoise nsil (he Two Due Us.
A tortoise, dissatisfied with her lowly
life, had a great desire to see foreign
countries. On informing two ducks of
her wish they said, "We shall be hap
py, for a fair price, to transport you
to any country you please." The pas
sage money having been agreed upon
and paid, the (lucks*said, "You must
take this narrow piece of stick in your
teeth and hold it fast, and we will take
hold of it at each end and carry you
between us, and, as you value your
life, be sure to hold your mouth shut."
The journey began, and wherever they
went there was a large crowd of poo
pie, who exclaimed in astonishment:
"What a wonderful sight! The queen
of the tortoises with her house at her
back!" "Yes, yes," said the tortoise,
"you are quite right. I am the queen."
But it would have been better if she
had held her tongue, for the moment
she opened her mouth she let go the
stick and was dashed to pieces 011 a
rock.

In the woods, especially under oak
trees, you will often find brown balls
about tlie size of a walnut, which,
when stepped upon, explode with a
loud bang. The proper inline for these
little balls is oak apples or galls. If
you cut one open carefully, so as not
to get any of the brown dust with
which it is partly filled in your eyes,
you will discover right in the center
a tiny cell, in which a little worm lias
lived and grown up.
In the first place the gallfly, a small
Insect with four wings, lays an egg in
the tissue of an oak leaf. This egg
soon hatches into larva. The larva
is a hungry little fellow, for he begins
to eat right away, and while he feeds
his house grows around him until,
when full grown, lie finds himself 011
the Inside of what we commonly call
a puffball. lie then eats his way out,
and the first strong wind tumbles his
house down to the ground.
