18S8 senators and congressmen from
the Southern tint? induced congin
to repeal the laws that helped Amur
lean ships by what were called mail
subsidies, and I lion our people, couldn't
afford to keep ships, ho (Hey sold
them and went out of business. Since
then we have puld other people for
carrying our good, and lots of times
when wo wanted to send thing to
South America wo hud to send them
to Grert Hrltaln or tSei iniiiiy flint,
and, because of the delay and ex
pense, we could not gel our slute of
the trade. Just before the Kuropenn
war started very little of our foreign
trade was carried In our" own ah I pa,
and while we were, in the Kuropenn
war, a also when wo were In the war
with Spain, we hud to depend largely
upon the ships of other notion to
take our soldiers across the ocean aad
carry supplies to them. You see, we
were dependent upon other countries
tpr ahlpa Just as you were upon Fred
Strong for a boat, and the other
countries looked after their own trade
first. Just a Fred used bis boat for
his own nut gathering."
"Hut I've often heard papn talking
about ships being built In this country
lately," remarked Jack.
"Yes." repiied Uncle. Ted, "we hatro
lota of them, and 1 do hope that con-
! gress will pass some kind of laws (hat
i will make It possible for Americans
to regain the plate they used to have
; as the greatest sailors In the world."

UNCLE TED'S BED-TIME
STORIES
BOATS, NUTS, SHIPS, AND TRADE
"Well well, why this dark cloud of
gloom o'erspreading the usually sun
shiny face of little Jack?"
It was Tnt-Ie Ted coining up the
walk and expressing surprise at the
appearance of his nephew silting a
lone on the bottom step of the porch,
his elbows on his knees and his chin
resting in bis hands. "What's gone
wrong with the world how?"
"Oh, nothing much." "replied Jack,
"but it does make me sore to see a
Ikv as selfish as Fred Strong. You
remember, 1'ucle, over on the hills
across -the river, north of town, there
are a lot of nut trees. The trees are
on sort of waste land and anybody
can go and get nuts. There's a bridge
across the river down south of town,
but the road runs back a long way
from the river and its too far to walk.
I had counted on gathering a lot of
nuts and selling them to get some
Christmas money, and I thought Fred
Strong would let me use his boat.
Several of the neighbors told me they
would buy nuts from me. Hut when 1
! went to see Fred last night he said
he and his two brothers were going j
after nuts today this is Saturday, j
you know and that there wouldn't i
be any room in the boat. The boat I
will hold four easily but he said they
woud need all the room for their bas
kets and lunch. That was Just an ex
cuse to keep me from going. He
knows he can sell more nuts if I don't
go. And then, too, if he gets nuts
for people this year, they will be the
more likely to buy from him next
year."
"Where's your papa's boat?" asked
Uncle Ted. "He had one, I know, for
I used It to go fishing once, two
years ago."
"Yes, daddy did have a boat," an
swered Jack, "and he took Ruth and
me over to gather nuts last year,
but we didn't use the boat often and
neglected It, and the hlghwater la.U
spring carried it away. I hope ve
have .one next year before the nuts
fall,-
"I hope so, Jifk, and since It !s
sort of all In the family, I'll make a
boat If you will help. If you want to
put In some of the money you made
out of your wa" parden to help, nay
for the lumber and boards and palat,
all right, and we'll own It together.
Then you wou't have to depend on
Fred Strong or anybody else." To
this Jack agreed, and 'then asked
Uncle Ted for a story.
"I haven't any story in mind Just
now." said Uncle Ted, "but do jou
know. Jack, your trouble over a boat
reminds me that this country' of ours
the United States has had very
much the same trouble in regard to
ships to carry gesids across the ocear.
and to carry soldiers and guns and
powder when we were In war. Years
and years ago. before you were born,
there were lots of men In the United
States who not only built ships but
nailed them on the ocean. Yankee
sailors were about the best in the
world, and In some of the rivers and
bays along the Atlantic coast there
were ship-yards where they made
ships as good as any that were then
sailing on the ocean anywhere.
"You see, when this country was
first settled, all up and down tho
Atlantic coast, the best way to travel
was by water, and people had to have
ships to get goods from Kurope and
to trade with the West Indies. So
they began building ships as aoon as
they came here, and they planned bet
ter ships than had ever been used
before. They invented the 'schooner.'
which could be more easily sailed In
the harbors and rivers and later th.i
'clipper,' which was the fastest sail
ing ship ever built. When the col
onies started the Revolution against
Great Britain they had no navy of
fighting ships; but all the ships car
ried guns in those days to fight pir
ates, and the colonial government sent
out what was called 'privateers,'
owned by people who were glad to
fight for America. Those privateers
played hob with the British merchant
ships and really made H possible for
the colonists to win the war by keep
ing the sea free enough to bring sup
plies for the war.
"When the United States became
free, the very first law passed by
congress was one that levied a tax
on goods coining from other countries,
but making the tax less if the goods
were brought in American ships,
Other laws encouraged shipbuilding
In this country so that in about eleven
years nine-tenths of our commerce
was carried In our own ships. And
our ships carried goooda for other
countries.
"But 'way back In 1849 Oreat Britain
got us to let her ships bring In goods
Can Now Eat and Sleep In Comfort
If troubled with Indigestion or sleep
lessness you should reud what Miss
Agnes Turner, Chicago, Illinois, has to
say: "Overwork, irregular meuls nnd
carelessness regarding tho ordinary
rules of health, gradually undermlucd
it until last fall I became a wreck
of my former belf. I suffered from
continual headache, was unable to di
gest my food, which seemed to lay
as a dead weight on my stomach. 1
was very const Ipa'ed and my com
plexion became dark, yellow and mud
dy as I folt. Sleeplessness was added
to my misery, and I would awake as
tired as when I went to sleep. I
heard of Chamberlain's Tablets and
found such relief after taking thorn
that I kept up- the treatment for near
ly two months. They cleansed my
stomach, Invigorated my system, and
since that time I can eat and sleep
In comfort. I am today entirely well."
