HE beast fable is a literary pattern of an undiscoverable antiquity, as alluring today as ever before, since the child in us fortunately never dies. It;is a pattern which Mr. Kipling has handled with a constant affection and with a large freedom. His earlier ani mal tales dealt with wild beasts, or at least with the creatures of the forest and of the ocean, beyond the influence of man' and ... ii iiiM. mij remote from his haunts. soon ne avaneu nimseii oi iuc oa. pattern to tell stories of animals domesticated and in close contact with man; and thus "he gave us the "Walking Delegate" and tbe "Maltese Cat." : In time h took a further step and applied to the iron horse of the railroad the method which. had enabled him to set before us the talk of the polo pony and of the flooded, trotter; and thus he gave us "007," in which we see the pattern of the primitive beast fable so stretched as to enable us to overhear the Intimate con versation of humanized locomotives, the steed9 of steel that puff and pant in and out of the round-house in an American railroad yard. Yet one more extension of the pattern enabled him to take a final step; after having given a human soul to separate engines, he proceeded then to animate the several parts of a single machine. And thus we have "How the fviip Found Herself and the later "Below the Mill-Dam." But although these are successive stages of the primitive beast fable as it has been modified in Mr.- Kipling's restless hands, there is little flagrant originality, even at the end, since "How the Ship Found Herself" is seen to be only a latter-day version of one of the earliest fables, the "Belly and the Members." Interesting as it may be to clamber up into the spreading family-tree of fiction, it is not here that we must seek for the stem from which the Mowgli stpjies ultimately flowered. These stories are not directly derived from the beast fable, although, his mastery of that literary pattern may have helped the author to find his final form. v They are a development from one of his own tales. "In the Rukh," included at first in "Many Inventions," and now trans ferred to its proper place at the end of the book In 'Which the adventures of llowgli are recorded. ITrtie Democracy. Foaaible Only When Men Come to Regard Their Work usa Public Function. Bv G. Lowes Dickinson. HE reorganization of property will be neither practical nor fruitful . OTPiant in on far aa it ia apivnTTinn ,oi. hir o imnral rovilnHnn In thfl . . ' V4VViV.lU V VMV ' . A . ,. community at large, and At present business men regard business as a private function; and -while, by their operations they are in effect determining the destinies of individuals and nations, dealing out prosperity or ruin, happiness or despair, health or disease, throughout .the civilized and uncivilized world, their only conscious motive appears to be to accumulate in their own hands wealth and power. They, not governments, really rule society; yet they rule it without caring, almost with knowing -what they are doing. To inquire Into the ultimate social effects of their operations would seem to them irrelevant and beside the mark. They regard business as a battle, government as the keeper of the ring, and the prize of victory as cinply and. barely the acquisition of wealth. ; A society so controlled, whatever It may name itself, is oligarchic through and through. There can be no true democracy until men come to regard their work, whatever It be, as a public function; to view it in those far-reach ing consequences and Interactions which alone give it significance and nobility ; and to care more about performing it well than about the material benefits by which It may be rewarded.. That attitude of mind implies an individualism not only compatible with, but essential to, socialism. Independence, self-reliance, initiative, these qualities so justly prized by Americans, would be Postered, not suppressed, by a properly organized- social democracy. Only their inspiration and goal will be not individual aggrandizement, but the wel fare and the greatness of the whole community. There is no antithesis be tween socialism and individualism. . On the contrary, the one conditions the other Jn the only sense in which either is of value. The Century. ILabor Parties in America. , . By Arthur Bennington. is something about I distasteful to the average J! . I individualism and. who is - a - . - B . "Anarcnism. Ana tne this prejudice have scattered their fire and warred among them selves. - . The New York World opened its columns a few months ago to a discussion of Socialism, and most of the leafiing Socialists of the country wrote letters on the subject. From these letters it became evident that scarce ly two men agree as to what Socialism means, what its aims are and what it could accomplish if it had an opportunity. Is it any marvel,; then, that the Socialist vparties have' made little headway among the intelligent workingmen el America? There Is not a laboring man in America, except he be very old, who expects to remain a laboring man all his. life. There is not a laboring man who does not hope his children will be rich. This ambition makes for individualism and selfishness, and few men are willing to thev regard as their own chances of rising in the world. The east side of New York city contains thousands of rich Jews who own factories or blocks of tenement houses, hard as cigar-makers, peaaiers, rag-pickera and oia-clothes dealers.- Many rich contractors and builders in New York began life in America as immigrants from Italy, wielding the pick-axe and the shovel.

IMPORIAHGE Of BS DM What Arbor Day Means to the School Children THE PRESIDENT ISSUES ADDRESS President Eooscvelt Eaphasixcs Im portance of the Celebration and Ex plains Why the Day Should ' be Observed. - Washington, Special. President Roosevelt has addressed "to the school children of the United States" a message on the significance of Arbor Day which, during the month of April is celebrated in many of the States. It follows : "To the school children of the United States: . "Arbor Day (which means . simply 'Tree Day') is now observed in every State in our Union and mainly, in the schools. At various times from January to December, but chiefly in this month of April you give a oiy or puv!. of a day to special exercise and perhaps - to actual tree planting in recognition of the importance trees to us as a nation, and of what they yield in adornment, comfort and useful products to the communities in which you live. "It is well that you should cele brate your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for within the lifetime the nation's need of trees will become serious. We o.f an older generation can gret along with what we have, though with grow ing hardship; but in your fuii man hood and womanhood you will want what nature once so bountifully sup plied and man so thoughtlessly de bt royec. and because of this want yon will reproach us not for what we have used, but for what we have wasted. "For the nation as for tjie man or wanna Mid the boy or girl, the road to success in the riht use of what we have and the improvement of prei::t opportunities. If you neglect to. prepare yourselves now for the duties and responsibilities which will fall upon you later, if you do uot learn the things which you will need to. kiio v when your school c"tys are over voir will suffer the consequence. So ar.y nation which in its youth livc-s odU for the day, reaps without sewing and consumes without hus banding, must expect the penalty of t?io prodigal whoso labor could with c'.ilVu'iilty find him the bare 'means of "A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is ' almost as hopeless; forests which are so used that they cannot renew themselves will soon vanish and with them all their hcue-fits.- A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it wire, a factory of wood, and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or to plant new ones you are acting the part of goo("i citizens. The value of forestry deserves therefore, to be taught in the schools which aim to make good citizens of you. If your Arbor Day exercises help you to real ize what benefits each one of yon ve ceive from the forest, and how by your assistance these benefits mav continue, they -mil serve a srood end.

A' preliminary hearing was held Saturday mo.-ning in the court house on the case of the State against Nathan Moore, who was jailed here charged with the murder of :his.l9-year-bld son,1 Nathan Moore, Jr. As the prisoner , is a ' popular and well-known fanner, and the cir cumstances of the killing are so horrible a large crowd attended the hearing before Magistrate W. R. Wood. The State's witnesses were examined by Solicitor C. C. Daniel and the evidence in substance was as follows: Moore, senior, on returning home found his son Nathan absent. He learned that he was at a neigh bor's house 20O yards distance. He went there and saw his son 'with a friend, John Ellis, asleep under a bug gy shelter. Moore picked up a sguare pint bottle and approached his son. As he did so his son raised up and Moore beat him over the head with the bottle and kicked him. There was true evidence after the young man had been carried in the house his father struck him with a chair. Be fore young Moore died he told his sis ter that his father had killed him. The evidnce is very strong and con vincing. Moore was a high-tempered man and it is thought that he did the act in a fit of temepr. He pulled a gun when Sheriff Sharp arrested him, but saw it was useless to resist and surrendered. The solicitor asked that the hearing be continued until next week - so physicians could make a " post-mortem examination. Bail was refused Moore in the meantime.
