JOHNNY WAS NO FARMER.

The Professor of Bumps Made the Big
gest Mistake of His Life.
Johnny Is bright lad of twelve win
ters and summers, and If he keeps on at
the rate he is now travelling he is des-
tined to become great man, says the
st. Louis Republic. His mother gave
him quarter the other day, but instead
of investing in marbles or balls he de-
termined to consult phrenologist In
order, us he said. ''to find out what he
was good for" He visited a neighbor-
ing expert in bumps and deposited his
quarter, with the remark:
Mister, please tell me all you know
bout me. See?"
The phrenologist placed Johnny in q
chair, and, beginning in a very impress
sive voice, said:
Young man, your forte in life lies in
the direction of the country. You
should be farmer"
There was a moment of silence while
the expert felt his way through Johnny's
bristling hair. Finally the phrenologist
began again:
''Ah, young man, here is another and
moro decided bump. This protuberance
denotes want Of energy. You should
exert yourself to run about, play with
other boys, take more exercise, and,,-
: sHully gee!" shouted Johnny, wrig-
Cling out Of the professors grasp.

How the Advance of Napoleon Made All
the Difference In the World.
In March, 1915, the Paris Moniteur
announced the expected return of EN-
peror Napoleon from Elba. The first
announcement Of the Moniteur was far
from being polite, but as the little Cor
sican approached Paris a gradual
change took place in its tone:
''The cannibal has left his den."
1.-THE Corsican wolf has landed in the
bay of San Juan"
"The tiger has arrived at Gay"
"The wretch spent the night at
Grenoble."
"The tyrant has arrived at Lyons"
"The usurper has been seen within
fifty miles of Paris"
"Bonaparte is advancing with great
rapidity, but he will not put his foot
inside the walls of Paris"
Tomorrow Napoleon will bs at our
gstes"
''The emperor has arrived. at Fon-
tainebleau."
"His imperial majesty Napoleon en-
tered Paris yesterday, surrounded By
~ loyal sub3sets."

Hounds to Her Ambition.

With the fashionable craze for tailor
made get-ups, shirts, waistcoats and
scarfs, there is, nevertheless, an occas-
siopal girl who cannot master four
in-hand, or tie a black satin scarf as it
should be. One Of these, says the New
York Sun, went into haberdasher's
the other day to buy scarf to wear
with her boyish costume. After she
had looked at them she said
"Oh, dear me, shall never be able to
tie thisl Why can't have cne that is
already tied, with hooks behindf" Very
firmly the answer came to her,
"But, madam, NO gentleman would
think Of wearing ready-tied scarf"
''Oh, but" said she. IT am afraid
Hsvsr shall bs perfect gentlsnaa."

REAL CHILDREN IN LITERATURE

They Are Crowded Out by che Eminently
Proper Children of the Viseacres.
The wise mentors in conventional lit
erature virtually tell you that child
literature wants no real children in it;
that the real childs example of defect
i've grammar and lack of elegant de-
pertinent would furnish to its little pa
trician patrons suggestions very hurtful
indeed to their higher morals, tenden-
cies and ambitions, writes james Whit
comb Riley in the Forum. Then, al
though the general public couldn't for
the life of it see why or how, and might
even be reminded that it was Just such
a rowdying child itself, and that it's
father-the father of his country-was
just such a child; that Abraham Lincoln
was just such lovable, lawless child;
all-all this argument would not avail in
the least, since the elegantly-m minded
purveyors of child literature cannot
possibly tolerate the presence of any
but the refined children the very
proper children = the S stu diously
thoughtful, poetic children-and these
must be kept safe from the contaminat-
ing touch of our rrough-and-tumble little
fellows in 'hodden gray" with frowzly
heads, begrimed but laughing faces,
and such awful, awful vulgarities of
naturalness, and crimes of simplicity,
and brazen faith and trust, and love of
life and everybody in it. All other real
people are getting into literature and
without some real children along will
they not soon be getting lonesome, too?

poar with Limp Locks.
II is customary TO say that modern
science has conquered all the dangers of
the open sea except that of fog. The
New York World declares that those
who say so are mistaken. We build
ships that can buffet any wave and out
ride the most furious gales. But every
one of them carries in her saloon source
of danger more threatening than any
that tempest brings or the forces of ma
ture create There is always the woman
with bang which persists in getting
out of curl. That woman provides in
advance for the emergency. She arms
herself against the danger of appear
ing at dinner with unl1empt forclock.
She surreptitiously introduces a pair of
curling irons and spirit lamp into her
cabin, and spite of placard warnings
and peremptory prohibitions she lights
the lamp every day before the altar of
lrr devotion She knows, of course.
that every time she does it she imperils
the lives of hundreds of human beings.
Tut would you have a little matter like
that interfere with the essential proc
esses of the toilet? Is the woman with
bang to be expected to appear with
limp locks at the captains table merely
that lot of people who are nothing to
her may feel safer against roasting?

ANTIQUITY OF FOOTBALL.


10 Wa Played By the Greeks and Roman
Centuries Ago.
In answer to q query whether football
is modern game the Baltimore Ameri-
can says:
No; it was a sport which highly de-
lighted both the Romans and the
Greeks. 1t was known by the former
as harpastum, and by the latter as es-
pislSuros. There is reference in Fitz
Stephen which is supposed to indicate
that the amusement was popular in
England during the reign of Henry H.,
about 1160. This mention has doubt
full meaning, and may refer only TO ten
mis-. 1t is certain, however, that 1t was
familiar to the subjects of Edward I'LL,
for he in 1341 felt compelled to issue an
edict prohibiting 1t, not because of its
undesirability, but because 1t impeded
the progress of archery. For similar
reason James II. of Scotland also put
the ban on the game. Sir Thomas Ell
yot, writing in the time of Henry VIII,
denounced the game as being moth
ynge but beastly fury and extreme
violence whereof proceedeth hurte and
consequently rancor and malice do re-
main with them that be wounded,
wherefore 1t is to be put in perpetual
sylence." James 1. also shared this be-
lief in the brutality of the sport, and
wrote in his Basilicon Doron: "From
this court debar all rough and violent
exercises as the football, meeter for lam
ing than making able the users there
Of" Barclay in his Fifth Eclogue, dated
1903, had these lines:
&c The sturdie plowman. lustie, strong and bold,
Overcometh the winter with driving the foot
ball,
Forgetting labour and many q grievous fall 81
The poet Waller scores it thus:
GAS when q sort Of lusty shepherds try
Their force al football; care Of victory
Makes them salute so rudely, breast to breast,
That their encounter seems too rough for

r-,all Souls.

This is a funny country. 1t pro-
duces some remarkable specimens of
the genus homo. Among those, the
small-souled type is most numerous
and most prominent. Small souls
and narrow minds are indigenous to
the soil. A prolonged residence
here of those Of foreign birth has
distinctly contracting influence upon
their mental scope, and, unless re-
lieved by frequent foreign travel,
such foreigners are in danger of
shrinking to very moderate mental
proportions. But those who were
born upon the soil (other than the
aboriginal race) take the palm for
picayune ideas. An impatience of
criticism peculiar to themselves
marks them as being at once egotis-
tical and narrow to degree at once
disgusting and amusing. A dread
and hatred of the truth, when told
concerning themselves and their
cliques, is but one of the paradoxes
which these good people present to
the world. Does a person express
dissent from their views,-he is a
dangerous man. Does he dare to
openly criticise their actions,-he is
an enemy, whom to slay were vir-
tuous, though perhaps not entirely
safe. Does he advance some ideas
of his own, in opposition to those of
"the ring,"-he is a demagogue, and
should be crushed. Does one out

the opinions of the small-souled
brigade) all that is holy, and right
eous, and honest, and wise, and
praiseworthy, venture to display
some independence of the control OF
the magic circle aforesaid, and show
disposition to be guided by the
light of reason and justice, as op-
posed to arrogance and bigotry,-

ject for boycott, and for ultimate
slaughter. Such petty characters,
tics, we regret to observe, are again
becoming unpleasantly prominent
on the. part of some Of those who

Scarcely a person anywise in the

chronic kickers themselves, as can

UNDERHANDED ATTACK.

In it's report of the proclaiming
of the United States Protectorate,
the Advertiser makes a cowardly at
tack on the BULLETIN, representing
this paper as being joined with two
native papers in efforts ''to discredit
the Government" This it alleges
as one of the reasons inducing the
Government to request Protector
ate. The BULLETIN has simply criti-
cised certain details of the provi-
sional administration, but from the
first counselled an acceptance of the
situation by those who were not in
the movement, pending the result of
negotiations at Washington. Its
criticisms were backed by the opin-
ions of moderate mon in the COM
munity, including some who, while
in favor of the annexation policy of
the Government, believed that the
Government was going too fast and
too far in both administration and
legislation. 1t may be that the
Government took into consideration
the possibility of detection from the
ranks of it's active supporters
through reaction promoted by free
discussion of its acts. But such
could only have been small part of
the motive for giving up the respon-
sibility for preserving the peace of
the community and guarding the
seat of government. Had the Adver-
tiser been honest it would have in
cluded in it's reasons for the step
taken the danger to the Provisional
Government of attempted dictation
from a portion of it's physical arm.
1t is fact that a considerable ele-
ment of the armed support of the
Government were beginning to boast
of what they regarded as the indis,
pensable nature of their services in
overthrowing the old and establish
ing and maintaining the new order
and showing a disposition to be die
tatorial toward the Government il
the details of administration. Thi!
was an open secret in the commu
nifty and it was not pleasant know
ledge to those who, although no
in accord with all the doings o
the Government, still hoped il
would be able to maintain public
security until permanent settle
ment of affairs had been reached
A champion of section of the force
in the Liberal affords confirmation

no change should take place in the

born of partisan malice combined
