were legs attached, and on the shoui-'
ders he put arms, and then the omni-
bus called at the door and said good
bye.
These legs and arms were made Of
bunting tubes, open at the place where
the hoops ON which they were made
joined the kite, so that the wind filed
them out and made them look plump
and round as if they were alive. Bunt-
ing, you know, is the loosely-woven
material that flags are made of, and is
very light and open. His legs were
red and his arms were blue, and he
was the funniest looking sort of fell
low away up in the air, kicking and
sprawling like baby before it can
creep, or Juggling like dog at his
chain when there is a COW in the yard.
Three sticks made the frame. One
from the bottom of the jacket to the
top of the hat, and one from each
shoulder to the corner below his vest
pockets. Strings formed the rest of
the frame.
A boy in Brattleboro, Vt, in 1911,
made kite and attached a paper Ian
tern to it in which he put candle and
arranged it so that when the candle
had burned out it would explode some
powder which as ia the bottom of the
lantern. He kept the secret entirely
to himself and waited for a suitab BILE
night on which to raise his kite. The
boy got his kite into the air without
being discovered, for it was so dark
that nothing but the colored lantern
Gil 4 do a., Oh
the air wildly and attracted much notice,
and was looked upon by ignorant people
as some supernatural omen. The evil
spirit, as many supposed it, went bob
bing about for about twenty minutes,
and then exploded, blowing the lantern
to pieces
Next morning all was wonder and
excitement. And this lad, who had
carefully taken his kite in and hidden
it after the explosion without being
found out, had his own fun out of the
matter. The people of Brattleboro
never had any explanation of the mys-
terry until nearly sixty years afterward,
when the boy, who had become quite
an old gentleman, published the story
in Brattleboro newspaper. Could any
OF you little people keep such a secret tif-
ty seven years? | advise you, however,
on no account to repeat this kite expert
ment, unless you do SO under the di-
rection of some older person who I'M
derstands how to handle gunpowder
with safety. The man-kite, on the
other hand, is well worth trying. 1t,
too, is not without its accompanying
explosions, but explosions of laughter
are not at all dangerous.-'Mr.
Pu1ach," tn n. o. Times Democrat.

FOIL OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
G7ANDMA'S BEDQUILT.

Shall I ever be old as Grandma?
hyoked in the glass to-day,
And tried to think how j shall look
when my hair has all turned gray;
For when the old people come here.
With hands on my hair they say;
Jessie looks like her grandma
In the times so far away.
We have an old portrait of Grandma
In queer old gilded frame
ODD, and sweet, asd pretty,
1t was made before mamma came,
And L am her youngest grandchild.
They say she loves me best. -A
don't knew how that is,
J I'm sure she loves all the rest
But her room is full of treasures,
Old thingS-she loves them well
Rainy days she shows them to me,
And will often story tell
She has just the queerest bedquilt-
1t ism pretty at all,
But think that Grandma loves IL
Even the best of all.
Mamma says that "old people
Have much of their lives in the past"
And that l must honor her wishes
And be gentle to the last"
80 when she showed the patchwork
thought could understand
! How the past ia mixed with the future
And her home in the other land.
There were some squares all faded,
! Dull, and brown. and gray,
II they ever have been pretty,
They surely are not to-day
Those" said Grandma softly,
We're part of my mothers gown, -
Well do remember the day
She wore it first TO town."
And then there were others pretty
Green, with blossoms over them
spread.
"Those," and my dear old Grandma
Sighed and shook her head.
Those were my sister Mary's,
She died At twenty-five
So many years she has been in Heaven,
And ii am still alive"
Then there were many white ones.
With tiny iieclSs of blue,
They must have been 80 pretty
In the days when they were new
Those little squares" said Grandma,
Belonged to my baby Rose,
1t is thirty years since we laid her
Under the winter SHOWS"
But tell me, Grandma" eagerly CRY,
whose were these beauties here?
Covered with apple blossoms.
They look like the spring of the year."
Those" and Grandma's mouth grew
sweet
As the mouth in the picture seems.
wore that gown when was young,
And life was the sweetest of dreams -
81 wore it the night your Grandpa
Told me his heart was NINE
Under the trees near the arbor,
Where the roses used to twine-
An! there never was any like him,
And now-he has gone home,
And am going to join him.
! l wait till my summons come"
And then the kitten wakened
From long and quiet nap,
And Grandma folded the patchwork
And laid il in her lap,
And said: Twill be yours, little Jessie,
When my body is under the sod,
And my free soul dwells i'll that other
home
Whose builder and maker is God"

VIcKsBURG, May 3.-The situation
here is unchanged, with only two
points rise in the river. The levee two
miles below Delta was reported as
being in dangerous condition.
HELENA, Ark, May 3.-The river
rose one-tenth of foot during the
twenty four hours ending at i O'Clock
Saturday. 1t has since begun to fall.
The first break in the levee on the
Mississippi side is just below Austin
1t is abont 200 feet wide, and the
Water is running through it is film g
up the country very fast. The next is
below Friar's Point, three or four
miles, besides another already men>
toned at the Jefferson Place, about
Ten miles further down.
A very disastrous break, the first on
the Arkansas side, is at the Hen ming
Place, about twelve miles below
Helena. and it has overflown the
Westover plantation.
James B. Willis says it will fall rap
idly after Monday. The weather COM
tinues fine and the outlook is now
Frightening for Mississippi boats pass
ing both ways yesterday report The
eastern levees still standing firm. No
breaks occurred on the west bank yess
terday. A tug and barge were sent
down in the Ovcrflewed district south
of Helena yesterday to bring out peo-
pie and stock from the places where
they were likely to suffer. Those re-
maihing in the bottoms will be as we'll
provided for as circumstances permit
until the water recedes, and it is
thought very little if any distress will
follow the food. No suffering has
been reported yet.

Mr. Holman, of Indiana offered an
amendment providing that the money

MIR. Butterworth, of Ohio, main-
talDed that The system of levees was

He did no, believe, even, that the
system tended materially to improve
the navigatioif, but, made that inn.
