The unforgotten.

All day and many days I rode,
My horses head set towards the sea;
And as l rode longing came to me
That l might keep the sunset road,
Riding my horse right on and on,
0'ertake the day still tagging at the
west,
And so reach boyhood from the dawn,
And be with all TIE days at rest
For then the odor OF the growing
wheat,
The flare of sumach on the hills,
The touch of grasses to my feet
Would cure my brain of all its Ills
Would MI my heart so full of joy
That no stern lines could fret my
face.
There would | be forever boy,
Lit by the sliy's unfailing grace.

"A Miniature Boomerang

To make this miniature boomerang
all that is needed is sharp knife and
some heavy card board. Cut semi
circle, as shown in the picture, making
one end slightly broader than the 9TH
}er. To shoot this boomerang place 1t
just under the nail Of the. forefinger OF
the left hand. Do not put it there at
the center, but place it in such way
that the larger part of the boomerang
is toward the left Then give it a flip
with the thumb of the right hand and
the boomerang will act like the. ia
nous weapon of the Australian saw
ages, striking the object at which it is
aimed, and then returning to the per-
son who shot it: It will require some
little practice and experiment to get
the shape of the boomerang exactly
right and at the same time to place It
: in the proper position and give it the
proper stroke. This is, Of course, q

wooden boomerangs which the Austria
lians throw with such force that they
can strike and often kill a mah or
animal at 200 yards, the weapon re-
tu,'ning to the hands. or feet f the

New automobile service in the SUI
dan, between Hayes and Bammako on
/ the Niger, has been recently inaug-
&urated, and communication from
Hayes, dated the 3rd Of February,
states that Gov. Chaudie has Just re-.
turned from voyage, in which he had
laid out certain new territory and in
the course Of which he: inaugurated
the new automobile system for the
transports of passengers and mer-
chandise between these two points.
The governor and party left from
|. Bammako the 22d Of January and ar
rived in two days at Xiii, making
about ninety kilometers per day on a
six hours run. From this point he
passed to Toukouto, and finally ar
rived at Hayes the 9th of January,
the whole trip taking thus about five
days, says the Scientific American.
Upon his arrival the governor ex-
pressed himself as greatly pleased
with the rapidity and facility of the
new system and recalls the fact that
on former trip to the Niger it re-
quired fifteen days to cover the same
route. BY this system the Senegal is
brought into connection with the Nj
GER, the district passed through being
one which had not been reached here
tofore by water or by railroad, on ac-
count Of the rapids Of the Senegal and
the mountainous mass called Fouta--
Djalon, which separates the Senegal
from the Niger: The automobiles for
this system were constructed by a
Paris firm and were installed under
the direction of M. Felix Dubois.-Chl-

5SsA s week ago last Thursday when
/ Aunt Lucy picked up her paper and

more than the proper thing for me to
go to the funeral. And they live away
over on the South Side, too. It'll take
all day to get there and back. Still
there is a duty we owe to our friends
that must not be passed over lightly
So on the. following day Aunt Lucy
put on her most sombre clothes and
started early. The funeral sermon was
fine, and Aunt Lucy sat behind a corr
ner of the piano upon a register, that
was almost red-hot, and perspired and
wept and got stitch in her side. The,
singing wass lovely, the corpse looked
as natural as life, and after it was all
over Aunt Lucy started home, declar-
ing to herself that it was one of the
most enjoyable funerals she had ever
attended. Her railroad fare amounted
to nearly half a dollar, and she spent
20 cents for lunch before starting on
the trip home, but she didn't regret it.
in the least. She had received the
worth of her, money, and more, too.
AS luck would have it, Aunt Lucy
met Mr.. Johnson's cousin Fannie on
Sunday morning at church. Mrs. Gar
wood had come back on visit from
Cincinnati, where she has lived during
the past seven years, and naturally
took the first opportunity to hear her
dear old pastor preach again. cts
queer didn't see you at the funeral .
Aunt Lucy said, after the first gush
of their greeting. 'What funeral?"
why, your cousin Henry Johnson's,
Thursday afternoon" 81 don't under
stand what you mean. My cousin
Henry johnson died three years ago
on the way to Japan, and was buried
at sea-" For the moment Aunt Lucy
looked indignant, but upon reflection
she said: well, it was a good fun
eral, and as long as it happened as it
did there's no use being put out, es-
peclally as Ill never have chance to
go to the right one now, anyway
