road motors. A number of the motor cars
are electric; others belong to the Britannia
Company's system and to the great Wheel
less Carriage company. The British syndi-
cate which has acquired all the principal
patents for Great Britain was represented by
over dozen cars and vans, and the inventor
of the Pennington carriage an American in
vention, has also entered vehicles. The start
was made from the hotel at 1890 a. m.

The singing of the hooking birds. the ring

In twilight shadows falling on fields

sweet to me:
II echoes DER the mountains and sings
across the sea:
Tho bee is in the blossom. the lark files

And love with yearning bosom calls still:
Come home--come home!"

Wonderful Power.

The power of imagination is amusing
Is illustrated in the story told of an old
lady who had never heard the celebrat-
ed violinist, Paganini, play. and one
day obtained permission to attend a re-
hearsal of one of his concerts. 1t so
happened that Paganini did not take
his violin with him to the rehearsal that
day, but borrowed one from n member
IF the orchestra, and instead of play
ing as usual, simply kept up kind OF
pizZicato accompaniment. After the
rehearsal the old lady went up to Mr..
Cooke. the musical director, and said
i'm burst of enthusiasm: "Oh, dear!
Mr.. Cooke, what a wonderful man he is!
/ declare never knew what music was
capable of till this morning" Indeed,
madam, he is truly n marvellous man."
assented Mr.. Cooke. with n smile; "but
this morning you are indebted rather
TO your Imagination than your ears for
the delight you have had, for Paganini
has not really played at all. He has not
even touched a bow" "Well," said the
old lady, after n moments astounded
silence. recovering herself, then all
can say is, he's even more remarkable
than thought he was For if he can
affect me in such q manner without
playing, what should do, how should
feel, when he really did play!"-

with good, liberal projecting caves. Or,
if you have some large shingles, they
will do very well for roofing. At the
top you will have to put on some ridge
caps so that the house will not leak.
Now cut hole in front for the bird to
enter, put little porch over it and a
perching stick or two for the birds to
rest upon and your house is complete.
The best support for the house is
small, stout limb of tree with project
ing branches. and you can obtain it in
my woods. The branches should be
sawed of as shown in the cut, so as to
form base for the house. You may
paint the house almost any color and
plant vines around it. In a year or two
it will be an attractive addition to al-
most any yard. Chicago Record.

L,.tlo olrrs wonderful Nerve.

A wonderful exhibition of nerve and
GOODNESS in the face of deadly peril was
shown by Jennie Sheets, aged eight
years, recently near Kansas City. A
heavily loaded passenger train left Ca
bool, Mo. A small trestle terminates
u sharp curve few miles east of the
town, and the train was making 40
miles an hour when the curve was
reached. AS the train approached the
trestle, the engineer saw two women
and two little girls on the trestle. To
stop was impossible. The women
jumped to the dry bed of the creek be-
low; the children remained on the
trestle. Jennie Sheets was one, and
she seized her companion, threw her
on the extreme edge of the bridge
sleeper and there held her until the
train had passed. The train was
stopped and all the passengers ran
back, to find little Jennie anxiously In,

flung on his back parcel containing a
change of clothing, his little savings
bank, his mothers picture and bundle
OF notes written in girlish hand, with,
among them, a long tress of ripping
brown hair cut from his sweetheart's
head. Bidding his implacable enemy
(and grandfather) merry good-by, he
took his way along the highway where
on travel set it's tide cityward.
But before leaving, he spent an hour
beside brook which chartered away
in the rear of Dame Roses kitchen gar

haired girl with long and ripping curls
sat near him, and their hands were close
ly clasped, and more than once, as the
lads eyes darkened with the overpower-
ing forcthought of the coming years
and their loneliness, the tender heart
of his companion would prompt her to
lean still nearer and meet, and return
the kiss he turned to give. And as they
passed through the garden in the brood
ing twilight, the pale buds of the rose,
newly lowered, caught Leonard's eyes.
Plucking one, he held it against the
flowing sweep of the girls soft hair,
looking dreamily at the pure curves of
the check, turned to hide the brim-
ming eyes; at the tip of the small ear
that peeped from the abundant curls,
and at the fair bud cleaning like star
against the brown waves. Then his
voice deepened to manhood's earnest
ness. as he whispered:
"SoInc day, Floribel, my sweet Flori-
bel, I'll send you a bunch of these pale
roses, and then I'll follow soon-soon
enough for them to be still fresh for our
wedding" -
The lad had n world of latent romance
in his heart, and it all welled out in his
love for this sweetheart of his boyish
days.
And T." Floribel had whispered, will

the color of the wood that he would
have passed it by had it not uttered n

SEED DISTRIBUTION.

In the hedgerows and along the coun-

their peaceful beauty, what wonder
full and diverse operations and designs
are taking place to secure the distribu-
ton of the ripened seed-winged seeds
of suitable shapes for the wind to car
ny and let drop here and there in cleared
space; seeds that hook themselves to
the passer-by, so that perchance they
may be conveyed TO bit of ground
not overcrowded.

and there so abundantly. when its pink
petals have fallen and the seed within
its seed-case are ripe, by n simple me-
chanism shoots it's seeds some little dis

The capsule of the common poppy
has little doors in the top, and when it is
agitated by the wind, the seeds are
elected one by one through these small
apertures. The little doors are pro-

roof. and close themselves in wet
weather.

The game of baseball was so years
old in June, the first match game hav-
ing been played at Hoboken, N. j., on
June 10, 1916, between the Knicker-

to that time townball had been the
great game, but some of the devotees
got their heads together and evolved n
series of rules which changed the sport
so materially that they decided to call
it baseball. The first team was or
ganized on September 2, 1s45, but it
was not until the following June that
n match game was played.
