little While leads the running.
From the start he sets the pace,
oh, no other guy ID In II,
Just so long as lasts tho race.
Little While Is the whole thing
At hotel or on the beach;
Such q dnpper little chapple
That the girls term him peach.
For the fair sex eyes has Willie,
Winning Orbs OF tender blue,
And, also, summer maiden
Has eyes for Willie, too.
Little While puts Il front on.
Tells her Of his prlncely wealth,
While the heiress, coy, observes she's
AT the scashore for her health.

Likewise courtshlp by the sea;

But, alas, for plans and dreaming,
All the castles now no more
For the maIden's teaching school again;

There are two things would like
to live to see," observed thoughtful
citizen yesterday. land I'm sure would
see both II could live about fifty years
longer. One is to see Wheeling spread
out further by building on the adjoin-
ing hill tops, and the other is to see
what motive power, whether automo-
bile, compressed air service, or airship
Is used for carrying people around. I
suppose other people occasionally have
the desire to live long for similar rea-
sons, and it's characteristic of me, for
as l compare the modes OF present tram
slt to when was u boy and there
wasn't even q locomotive around these
parts, why just want to hold on to the
earth to wait for what's coming next:
Nov, us to Wheeling taking In the
hill tops" continued, the old fellow, i
think an incline up Reymann's hill
would open up an extensive building
section on the beautiful plateau above,
and in close touch with the city. Then
there's Chapllne hill with room for a
residential suburb, which could be
reached by an incline. a syndicate
operating the inclInes and owning the
hill top territory could reap princely re-
wards for their enterprise, In my mag
inntlon, for there are lots Of people who
desire homes away from the smoke of
the city, and who, for various reasons,
do not care to live out the pike. Pitts
burgh's present greatness is due In u
large measure to her developing her
hllitops, and think 1t is no dream to
predict Wheeling following the exam
pie In the years to come; OF course
there are difficulties to be overcome.
But modern engineering is great
thing.
"sometlmes when I get dreaming this
way" concluded the speaker, as he
turned to enter the postoftice, my
fancy depicts the circllng hills fringed
with cottages, and the inmates looking
pItylngly down on the citizens below;
while through the streets horseless
carriages are shooting along. or. as the
case might be, Islanders crossing the
river to their homes In an alrship.
The verdancy OF the clty-bred boy
wastes its freshness on the country air
in the gladstone summer time, when
the aforesaid youth goes forth for the
first time to spend few weeks with
his rural relatives. Perchance he courts
the freedom Of n fishing camp. And
hereby hangs a tale There are boys
who delight in the bon camaderie OF
man much their senior In years. or
such were two Island Juveniles, not yet
out OF their teens, who with chum Of
probably thirty-five Rutumns, jour
neyed to Fish Creek this week, and set
IN stakes under the elder mans guild
ance in I'LL the sublimity OF fishing
camp.
Experience is a great teacher on
trips. After you have Travelled n little

the Island went laden down with the
things they needed not and brought
those which they should not have
brought; sins Of omission and commits
sion. For instance. night shirts are not
in good form at fishing camps; besides
they are not expected, and there be fell
lows who will guy the wearer. But 1t
is by experience we learn.
II is a strain on credullty to believe
the following, yet the man who was
the bulwark OF the trio tells II IN all
sincerity, and his nelghbors are willlnB
TO 20 on his note. His story runs that
one evening at dusk as he was return
ing to the camp after visit to farm
house for butter, he noticed the boys
with a lantern on the opposite SIDE OF
the creek. In answer to their cries he
crossed over. One OF the boys had n
run. and both excitedly were beating
the bushes. A grounding, they told
him, was hidden in the brushwood.
Their description Of the animal pro-
yoked his doubts, and IN angry farmer,
soon on the scene, capped the climax:
The farmer was mad enough to XIII
the boys. They had mistaken one OF
his 'shotes for grounding, and he
didn't want his pork finished that way.
1t was q CHASTITY spectacle that con-
fronted an East End citizen at an early
hour the other morning. 1t was an In
ducement for another vote for prohIbi-
ton. He is not what is called n drink
