over a hundred people buyin' stamps
in Philadelphia, and every last one Of
'em had TO lay down his cash"
In that crowd which had assembled
In the store was men who was goin' to
buy clothespins and soap and oat-
meal and lots of other things, but
every last one Of 'em walked out and
went down 10 Parker's. For three
DAYS Josiah didn't sell ten cents worth
of goods, but he was determined man,
and he hung up another sign readin';
"Only the postmaster allowed 10
handle the mail Please keep out"
Everybody heard Of IL and went to
the post Office 10 see about IL. Moses
Schemerhorn was appointed spokes-
man, and he raised his voice and said:
Josiah Goodenough, do you mean
TO say that II come in here, and you
are busy DRAWN lasses or weighin'

and get my letters?'
ut can't be DONE" says Josiah. up
In Philadelphia everybody has 10 ask
Mt the winder. The sacredness OF the
United States mail is mighty sacred
thing"
That was an eyenin' long to be re-
membered in Squan Creek.
Sixteen members of the fire depart
ment got out and paraded in uniform,
and carried a banner, on which was
Inscribed: "Down with Tyrants.
Citizens lined the streets and cheered
and hurrahed, and the fire bell was

Aaron Lampwell had got through with

leave the town that night. or that
he would get out hand-bill saying
he had backed down and asked our
forgiveness. but Josiah didn't scare.
On the very next day he hung up a
new sign, and II was worse than the
others. IL read:

swapping. You can now crowd on sail
without end, and il you tip over, which is
not probable, you can easily right your boat
again and continue with the loss of very
little time.
The course for a sailing tandem must be
determined at the time by the direction OF
the wind, for these racers, extremely sea
worthy, as far as carrying sail or standing
rough water is concerned have a decided
tendency TO steer their own course, in spite
OF all that hands and feet can do. A sailing
tandem is supposed 10 hold but one occu-
plank, and he sits astridethe connecting plank.
A good programme for days racing is
as follows: A Is, so and l00yards single
tub race, 100 and 200yards tandem scull
race, 2O0-yards tandem, with paddles and
balance pole; sailing tandem race, course
10 be decided by the wind. Such pro-
gramme should be easily carried out at any
resort near the water.
Choose a committee of three, who shall
attend the entries, and have the date OF the
races announced.
Entry fees are mistake, for anything
which tends TO lessen the number OF con-
testants encourages failure.
A small flag upon which has been EN-
broidered the event will be a sufficient
reward to the winner. These the girls
should furnish as just equivalent for the
fun they will have in watching the races.
The embroidery should read; First, 100
yards single; second, etc; first 2OO.yards

AN EQUESTRIAN LION.
He Was Thoroughly at Home on the
Back OF His Friend, q Pretty
Pfebald Pony.

The performance of the lion whose
equestrian portrait is here given was
even more distinguished than the pho
tograph suggests. He would not only
mount into the pad saddle shown
above, but would ride round the whole
arena, keeping his balance without
any apparent effort. A cat on horses
back in the stable was not more At
home than this half-grown cub on his
piebald pony. The wonder increased
as he grew older, for he continued to
take his ride until he was nearly twice
as big as when lis portrait was taken.
There was not the slightest make
believe In this performance. The lion
was one of the exceptionally good
tempered ones which are the joy of the
trainer, and instead of wanting TO eat
his pony he was much attached TO II,
and looked upon the whole thing as

A tub race usually extends over distance
of from Is to 100 yards Longer races are
occasionally INDUCED in, but will be found
rather exhausting.
The different courses should he staked
out by anchored flags. (See Fig. 81
The start may be made from float or
shallow water, each contestant being obliged
to climb into his tub after the word, Go!
Or the racers may line up for the start in
deep water under the direction of judge or
starter and commence padding at the com
mand.
A raft or skiff must be anchored at the
finish, and should contain three judges. The
judges must draw an imaginary line between
the two floats which mark the finish. The
first to completely cross this line wins.
Tandem races are popular, and quite
exciting, because considerable skill is nee
essary in order to avoid tipping over.
A tandem consists OF two tubs connected
by plank about three feet long and one
half foot wide. Fig shows the manner Of
connecting each end of the planks to the
tubs. A is the rim Of rub; B piece Of
some tough wood cut convexly to fit on the
inside, and G, two bolts which run through

Josiah Goodenough had been post
master at Squan Creek for about seven
years, and nobody had ever kicked
or complained when he went over to
Philadelphia to see his sister die. 1t
was not only the first time he had ever
had a sister die, but the first time he
had ever been in town bigger'n Key
port or Cape May. When he knowed
he was goin' he put on considerable
style about II, and stepped so high that

come back shorn. You are big man
here in Squan Creek. but you may find
that they never even heard OF you In
Philadelphia"
Josiah found that TO be the case.
After seem his sister die, he felt that
he ought TO call on the mayor and
shake hands and smoke a pipe and
swap lies with him. When he went 10
the city hall they wouldn't let him in
to see his honor, and he decided TO
call on the postmaster and have a chat
He didn't get TO see his man there,
either, but he hung around and picked
up good many pointers. twas these
pointers which raised the row n Squan
Creek. Josiah kept a grocery in con-
nection with the post office. If any
body was in hurry for the mail they
had the privilege Of lookin' over the
letters and papers. and IL was allowable
for anybody TO read any newspapers
comm to anybody else. Sometimes the
postmaster distributed the mail alone,
and sometimes he had help of three or
four OF the loungers. 1t was free and
easy like, and that's what we all liked
about it. The first move that Josiah
made when he got home was to hang
up sign readin':
mo stamps without the cash after
this date"

Its breath. Then everybody tried TO
talk at once, but after awhile Adina-

asked Josiah 10 lick on the stamp, and
he pointed to the sign. Jake Henshaw
was foreman of the fire company,
owned the only ice wagon In town and
always had barrel of hard cider down
cellar. The idea that the postmaster
would dare turn down such man as
that struck everybody as amazin'. A
general move was made on the post
Office, and when the place was jammed
with indignant citizens, Hiram Colby
pounded on a soap box with his cane
and said:
Josiah Goodenough, I've bin Twin
in this world fur so years, 7 months
and IA days, but OF all the insults which
have ever been heaped upon me, this
one Is the worst. Squan Creek is on
the verge of an outbreak, which will
make it's streets run deep with blood.
and you alone will be to blame for II.
Do you mean that you amt goin' to
lick on no more stamps for our inno-
cent and helpless women and chill
dren?"
"The postmaster at Philadelphia
don't do it," replied Josiah. II was
watchin' around there most all day,
and everybody who mailed letter
licked on his own stamp"
"And do you mean TO say" continued
Hiram, after rapping again and point
ing TO the sign-"do you mean TO say
that the people OF Squan Creek-the
men who have made this town what
IL is-the men who have made this
post oflice-the men who wrested their
liberties from under the heel OF ty-
rant king and poured out their blood
Ike kerosene-can't come in here and
sit on the cracker and sugar barls
and talk and visit while waitin' for
their mail?"
II didn't see a single soul sittin'
around the Philadelphia post Office"

grow pale and his chin TO culver.

certain rights and privileges, and tell

TO maintain them az any cost of blood
or treasure. We can fill honored

What do you wnnt?' asks Hiram,
as he begins TO shake.
you must trust for stamps, same as
ever. When you refuse TO pass out a
two-cent stamp to an American free
man who happens to be dead-broke,
you impugn his honor"
"I'll trust"
And the mails, sir--we demand that
any freeman has the privilege of look
ing them over when he is In hurry"
"All right"
And you must lick on stamps, sir.
and we are TO sit around on the coun-
tiers and barrels as before, and there
must not be the slightest curtailment
of the rights and privileges won by our
forefathers at Lexington and Bunker
Hill. Josiah Goodenough, will you
crawfish and come off the perch, or
shall our peaceful streets be turned
into rivers OF blood?"
Josiah crawfshed. With his own
hands he reached up and tore down the
obnoxious signs. and ten minutes later
holy calm had settled down upon
Squan Creek. and there was no dead
