I Stratagem li >n h fi By FRANK FILSON > u ! x ? o (Copyright, 1315, by W. G. Chapman.) 1' \ d | Phillips' theory was that it was I better to be king of a village than the a second ruler of New York. No less an authority than Julius Caesar had 8| said that before him, in a slightly dif- u ferent shape; but Caesar didn't have ft to prove it, and Phillips did. lie spent hip vacation in a little vll; Iage In the Catskllls, where the girls jt ! from the department stores went. It , was a quiet sort of place, and the G1 | quieter sort of girls went there. Phil- p! lips's vacation unfortunately lasted a ^ month. t), With a succession of young worn- p en coining and going, Phillips, being a w I gentleman in appearance and having 1 plenty of money, was in his element, gt ! He flirted with all and each, indlscrim- C( j inately. Naturally, he created a good ; deal ofrenmity at the little hotel. Any- ie ! one can do that, but Phillips thought r he was a lady-killer. I used to watcl/him from the porch hi and I wished 1 were thirty yeaft younger. 1 should have enjoyed noth- y< ing,betteir than to take the young ei I uiucitKnara oy me collar and trounce D I him soundly. Of course people set out fo to enjoy themselves, hut Phillips had planned it all out before. Resides, the at man was outrageous with his dudo clothes and his generally offensive air. at Hut it was none of my business, ami sli | I watched the affairs with three or b! ! four of tiie girls to whom Phlllip3 ni | swore eternal devotion until it came | to Dorothy Raines. That set my back iz ! up badly. Hi Dorothy was the niece of the hotel; keeper, and in the summer she helped m ! iii the hotel. In the winter, I believe, J she taught in the local school. I had sc gone there seycral successive sum- at mors, and 1 knew she was engaged to tho finest of the young fellows of S w\r ' | sa Phillips Thought He Was a Lady- {,] Killer. w the town?Nod Walker. I* fact, sho In had confided to me ilia- they meant to yet married that fall. When Phillips spotted her I had to 1 admit that his taste was good. Dor- " 1 ?>t!iy would have boon a belle if she K had been togged up instead of wear- n ing her simple walct and skirt of vil- n lago make. But Dorothy was a sweet %v girl, and tho thought of Phillips win- j n ning her heaft front Ned and then go- j ai ing complacently away was too much ! for me. Nl Of course the girl couldn't resist the open admiration of the city man. Dor- Hj otliy wasn't experienced enough to bo able to distinguish tho gold from the glitter, and Ned hadn't the airs and graces of that man Phillips. Day by day I watched the progress of tho go tlirtation. Ned noticed it too. One ml evening there was a quarrel, and pres- sp ently Dorothy camo round in front of ye tho pdfeh, and her eyes were red, as ca if she had been crying. Ik caw Ned stl slouch moodily away, and a few mln- st< utes later the girl and Phillips were Bn talking together at the other end of is the porch. pu K(?d V.'Jl'i nn nlfl fri/*?rw1 r\f minrt oml i- - I lie next day I had a few words with ; or him. > ' pn "Nod," 1 paid, "if you had horn cut th out fairly I "Wouldn't waste much sym- m pathy on you.

UNIVERSAL PEACE This nation Is now In the midst of a controversy as to how best to promote universal peace. That question we will leave for diplomats to discuss, but peace within nations is no less important than peace between naHons and it is heavily laden with f prosperity for every citizen within our commonwealth^ Many leading politicians and ofttlmes political platforms have declared war upon, business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood in high places and hurled "gas bombs" at industry; thrust bayonets into business enterprises and bombarded agriculture with indifference. Party leaders have many times broken diplomatic relations with industry; sent political aviators spying through the affairs of business, and political submarines have sent torpedoes crushing into the destiny of commerce. During the past quarter of a century we have fought many a duel with progress, permitted many politicians to carry on a guerrilla warfare against civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honest enterprise. No man should be permitted to cry out for universal peace until his record has been searched for explosives, for no vessel armed or laden with munitions of war should be given a clearance to sail for the port of Uni versal Teace. I^et us by all means have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home. It is "now or never" in regard I to planting vegetables for a successful fall garden. .
