The following short article is
credited to Senator Hob Taylor,
of Tennesee, and deserves more
than n passing glance because of
the wealth of suggestion given
to parents : "I would rather fill
my purse with money and keep
its gates ajar to my happy girls
while they linger under my roof
than to clutch it with a miser's
hand until the harp strings of
youth are broken and its music
forever fled. I would rather
spend my last nickle for a striped
marble to gladden the hearts of
my bare-footed boys tha,n to
deny them the childish pleasures
and leave them a bag of gold to
quarrel over when I am gone.
I abhor the pitiless hawk that
circles in the air only to swoop
down and strangle the song of a
dove. I despise the soulless
man whose greed for gold impels
him to strangle the laughter and
song of his own family."
President Taft And The Treaties
President Taft is justifiably
anxious that the arbitration
treaties with Great Britain and
France should be conlirmed by
the Senate as they have been
drafted and signed. From the
viewpoint of most liberal and
advanced world-statesmanship
the course that President Taft

the greatest credit on the count
ry, and of itself, when consum
mated, would make his admin
istration illustrious.
One can appreciate the con
tention for amendment of those
treaties that is based on sectional
considerations, but those con
siderations should give way to
the larger and more absorbing
project of world peace to be
permanently established, which
these treaties practically initi
ate. There shall bo a moral
philosophy of international in
tercourse as there is of individu
al intercourse, and the one
ought to bo as much subject to
the restraint of law and reason
as the other.
The step prowosed by the
execution of these treaties is but
one in an evolution that has
been steadily going on since the
time when citizens of Grecian
and Asiatic cities abandoned the
practice of capturing the vic
tims of sea disaster and holding
them for ransoms. We have
traveled a long way in the right
direction since then, and we are
traveling faster than ever and
have but little further to go be
fore the permanency of world
reace is secured. , It would bo a
manifestation of our National
greatness of spirit and breadth
of view if the Senate were to re
spond to the statesmanship of
the President. Telegram.

There seems to be a great in
terest in the retention of Maine
Prohibition Law and not con
fined to the United States. An
appeal signed by leading scholars
and thinkers such as Dr. Gustava
Von Bunge, of Basel University,
Prof. Max Kassowetz of the
University of Vienna, Sir Wil
fred Lawson, Sir John Herbert
Roberts, Sir Victor Horsely and
others to the number of hundreds
of like fame has been sent to
Maine voters opening with "the
Prohibition Law of Maine has
been a contribution of the first
value to the Worlds progress
along social lines" and ending
with "We the undersigned
therefore urge the Maine people
to stand by their law. We would
express our earnest desire that
at the moment when an advance
along the whole line of social,
scientific, educational and legis
lative temperance effort seems
to be imminent, citizens of Maine
should not be found retreating."
SURPRISED THE HIGHLANDERS
And Than tha Young Boert Surprised
Thir Own General.
Ignorance Is not bliss on the battle
field. When the Souib AfrlcHn war be
gan the Boers, brave fighters though
they were, lost many nn advantage
through alniont childish simplicity lo
the" art of wur. Mr. Howard C. Illlle
gas. In bis "Boers Id War," gives an
Incident of this trnit.
While fighting at Magersfonteln a
number of youthful Boers, in this their
first bnttle. allowed a hundred high
landers to approach to within a short
distance of the treuch wherein the
Boers were concealed. They then
sprang out, calling "Hands up!"
The hlghlnnders. completely sur
prised, threw down their arms and ad
vanced, holding their hands above their
heads. One of the "young Boers np
proached them, scratched his head in
perplexity and said to bis friends,
"What Rhall we do with them?" After
a consultation they allowed the high
landers to return to their column.
When the young Boers arrived at
the Boer Innger. ladeu with the cap
tured rifles, ibeir general asked them
why they did not bring their prisoners
The youths looked at each other, and
one of them sheepishly replied:
"We did not know that they were
wanted."
It was not the lads, however, who
always made the mistakes. One old
Boer, on viewing for the first time a
company of hlghlanders In the dis
tance, refused to Are. insisting that It
was a herd of ostriches, and he per
sunded all the burghers In the trenches
near hlrn that they were ostriches, and
nothing but ostrh hes.
