A HOSTILE MOVE BY GERMANY?
A newspaper dispatch has been
widely printed the past few days,
altering that Germany intends to ac
quire some harbors In Columbia with
in atriking distance of the Panama
canal. The story is that Columbia
?sk? $100,000,000 for the loss of Pan
am*, or else will sell the harbors to
Germany.
As any Washington correspondent
with & hungry family can always
make a handsome day's pay at space
rates by sending out a war scare
dispatch concerning Japan, Germany,
or other fighters, the country will
not put Its navy on a war footing un
til some confirmation of this story
is afforded.
Meanwhile it may be said that the
people who have been the most de
sirous of developing German immi
gration in South America have with
in a few years advocated a law
which would concentrate the South
Amerkan Germans in South Brazil,
where 200,000 natives of the FV-her
)and already are concentrated.
German colonization sentiment al
ways preferred the temperate climate
cf that region. An attempt at ex
pansion on the fever-heated shores of
Colombia would be contrary to past
policy. And only about "00 Germans
i year were going to South America,
by recent statistics.
Germany is a very fatherly sort
of & government. When Hans and
Johann set out for the ends of the
earth. it has a way of offering a lot
of advice as to where they should
settle. German colonization societies
long have been active in ^?uth
America, probably because they own
many corner lots, which they deaire
to work off at a profit.
But when it comes to creating a
dependent German state, there has
not in the 70 years of German mi
gration been any evidence of it.
When the Latin hot-bloods begin to
parade the streets and mutter sedi
tion over iheir rum punches, the Ger
mans stick the if noses deeper in
their ledgers and mind their own
t>u*n?s with care and assiduity.
From which characteristics ft has
resulted that the German colony in
Brazil has contributed materially to
the increasing stability of that gov
ernment.
The acquisition of some harbors
by Germany near the Panama canal
would not be favorably regarded m
this country. But if any steps of
that kind are in contemplation, it is
wholly new policy.? Portland Tele
gram.
"THE HEART OF THE HILLS."
Two of the most widely read stor
ies published in Scrtbners Magazine
during the past twenty-five years
were "The Little Sheperd of King
dom Come" and 'The Trail of the
Lonesome Pine," by John Foi. Jr.
In book form they were long listed
among the "best sellers," and their
popularity goes on year after year.
Mr. Pox's new story, which will run
nearly through the year, will com
mence in the April number. It has
a most attractive title, "The Heart
of the Hills," and its title is fair
promise of the charm of the story.
This is a story of vivid contrasts.
The people of the mountains are
brought in contact with the people of
<he Blue Grass. The main interest
of the plot revolves about a boy and
girl of the hills and a boy and girl
of the plains. It is their development
from a crude childhood to wiser ma
turity that enchains the reader.
They are real people, as appealing
and lovable as Chad or June of Fbx's
previous stories. There are dramat
ic action, humor, sentiment and
pathos, and something of political
turmoil. It is a story near at hand
In its people and interest? a picture
of modern Kentucky. Illustrations

Congressional Plagiarism.
The custom of "lifting" a brother
congressman's bills without sanction
or permission has resulted in n warm
discussion concerning the ethics of
legislation. In newspaper work, novel
writing or any other strenuous em
ployment the appropriation or use of
another man's words or ideas entitles
him to credit and lesal protection. Not
so, however. In the legislative hopper.
If one man falls to have a resolution
or bill passed another takes It up,
transferring such paragraphs and
clauses or Ideas as he wishes, without
credit, and labeling the result with
his name in such a way as to secure
full and undisputed possession.
The only question considered Is,
"Will It pass?" for if it does not pass
It represents only so much white paper
snugly tucked away in pigeonholes
until the advent of the next legislator
whose inclination runs to fathering
bills. The pigeonholes and crypt at
the copltol are tilled with documents
suggestive of the faded hopes of many
an enthusiastic congressman whose
bill failed to "get by" and is ready for
the appropriation of another ambitious
legislator.? National Magazine.
Butter From Birds.
A century ago butter birds wertf '
milked to beat the band by the natives I
of the northern part of South America. |
In midsummer the Indians went into I
the great caverns where these strange |
birds had builded, and with loug poles |
the uests were broken and destroyed,
something like the way the Yankee j
boys in barns used to break up the |
homes of mud daubers and barn swal- !
lows. Butter birds builded nests in I
the tops of the caverns in niches and \
holes worn ages ago by water. A poke j
, or two with a pole and the nest of gray |
| clay looking like a big cheese came I
falling down, the young birds scatter- I
ing on the floor of the cavern. The j
great lumps of fat betweeu legs and j
under the tail of the nestlings were i
torn from them and piled into earthen
I pots and melted down into bird butter, i
The butter bird is about as large as a j
chicken and so sweet is the bird butter |
that it keeps a year or so without turn- |
ing rancid. It Is oily, clear and with- |
out smell.? New York Press.
Decay of Diplomacy.
Diplomacy is not a career which en- i
courages the growth of a strong per- J
sonality. The diplomatist is necessa- j
I rily the tool of other men. Wauderiug j
from capital to capital, he is the mouth- j
piece of successive ministers, to whose !
divergent policies he must adapt him- |
self with the good grace that leads to
swift promotion. If he develops decid- j
ed views of his own or allows himself '
to cultivate embarrassing sympathies j
he is apt to be marked as a dangerous j
and uncomfortable subordinate, for
whom there will presently yawn some !
obscure and distant hole in a South j
American legation. The great ambas- j
sadors lived in the days when no tele- I
graph had yet been invented to make j
bureaucracy omnipresent. It wants
only some further perfection of the j
long distance telephone to abolish the |
diplomatist altogether.? London Athe
uaeum.

THE WIFE SPEAKS.
VOT all those women you have loved
and left,
O my beloved, can stir my Jealousy;
Not the light loves which you forgot for
me,
For my heart's Angers, mi>de bv life most
deft.
Have mended all the rents their arrows
cleft
And from their old enchantment set you
free.
But one is my despair, and only she?
The one who loved you. hopeless and be
reft.
How can 1 give as much who hold your
heart _
As she, unloved, who gave with scorn ?f
gain?
Bo do the angels. At her name 1 smart
And feel a sordid bargainer who givvs
For fair exchange. I cannot heal the pain.
X ara defeated by her while she lives.
