SPOONIN0 PARTIES.
How These Commendabie Aids to Matri-
mony Should lie Conducted.


"Spooning" parties are popular in
some quarters. They take their name
from good old English word which
was intended to ridicule the alleged fan
tastic actions of n young man or young
woman who is i'm love. For some reason,
which no one ever could explain, every
body pokes fun at the lover. In fact,
that unhappy character is never heroic
in real life, no matter what great gobs
Of heroism are piled about him ON the
stage, and in all the romantic story
books The girl in love and the boy in
love are said to be "spoony."
When "spooning" party is given,
tho committee in charge of the event re-
ceives spoon from each person who at
tends, or else presents each guest with
spoon. These spoons are fancifully
dressed in male and female attire, and
are mated either by the similarity of
costume or by distinguishing ribbon.
The girls and boys whose spoons are
mates are expected to take care of each
other during the continuance Of the So
cial gathering
Ofcourse the distribution Of the spoons
is made with the greatest possible care
fulness, the aim being to so place them
as to properly fit tho case of the young
people to whom they are presented. The
parties are usually given by the young
people of some neighborbood where the
personal preference of each spoony is
well known, and they are the source of
no end of fun. 1t is possible also that
they serve as aids to matrimony as well,
and are therefore commendable, since
an avowal is made more easy to diff
dent swain after he feels that his pas
sion is not a secret, but that his weak
ness for 'spoony" maiden is known to
his friends and enemies ON the commit
tee which dispenses the spoons 1t may
be mentioned that after the spoons have
been distributed among the guests, each
couple retires for consultation regarding
the reasons which caused the award of
mated spoons in their case. This consul
tation is known by the name Of "spoon-
ing. st. Louis Republic.

Sousa.

A resident of Cincinnati who knew
Sousa, the bandmaster, when he was a
boy in Washington, says; His mother
was German and his father Spaniard,
and though they had other children
Mrs Sousa would always talk of my
Chonny' as if he was the only one.
Chonny had every whim gratified. He
wanted a piano, and got it; violin,
and got it; drum, got it; horn, got
it. His parlor was like music store.
He played everything with ease He
was at first drummer boy in the army,
but later got charge of the Marine band,
whether by influence or merit do not
know. That gave him room to develop,
and he did to an amazing extent.'

THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
It Was Buiitb by oliver Evans. who Couldn't
Lay Up Money.


The real inventor Of the locomotive
never realized n cent from his invention.
His name was Oliver Evans. He was
born In Delaware in 1856 and spent all
his life perfecting inventions which
were destined TO bring him nothing but
more poverty. He was the original in
ventor of the high pressure engine used
in locomotives, the only kind that could
be employed to advantage in this form
VI transportation, but realized nothing
for his idea.
His application of the notion to both
land and water power was somewhat
novel
In 1904 the municipality Of Philadel-
phia called for bids for tho dredging of
the river and the cleaning of the docks
Evans put in bid lower than any of
his competitors, and when it was ac-
cepted determined to build a steamboat
to do the work
He fitted out n scow with steam en-
gine, building both the engine and the
scow in his own workshop.
When the boat was ready to be launch
ed, Evans determined to give the peo-
pie of Philadelphia an object lesson in
mechanics, so he put the boat on wheels,
fitted up push wheel behind, set his
engine to work and propelled the boat
through the streets to the river in the
midst of an open mouthed throng, not n
few Of whom had dim idea that he
ought to be arrested for witchcraft.
When the boat reached the bank of
the river, the wheels and axles were TAX
en- Off, the craft was launched, fitted
out with other wheels and made to do
the work of dredging the harbor.
SO far ns the invention Of mechanical
devices went, Evans had u splendid
genius, but when dollars and cents came
up for consideration he was mere
child, and even allowed himself to be
cheated out Of the money that was due
him for cleaning the Philadelphia har-
Dor with his new tangled steamboat. -

the knout was generally regarded as
sentence of death. A man under sen.

possible, IL the executioner did not en-
ploy his whole art or strength, for the
victim TO escape death, but he would
then inevitably be n cripple for the rest
