A Brave Young Girl.-Lee Parks, aged 6
years, son of Alfred Parks. of Cockeysville,
narrowly escaped drowning last Saturday by
falling into the stream called Beaver Dam,
which runs through that village. The boy
and several companions of about the same
age were playing on the banks Of the stream
when the little fellow toppled over into the
water, which is about five feet deep at that
place. Holton Tracey, aged ID years, daugh-
ter of j. Thomas Tracey, was swinging near
the scene and saw the little fellow fall into the
stream. She summoned Jacob Althoff, who
was working in his garden nearby, and he
Immediately started to the rescue. In the
meantime be called to Miss Tracey to save the
boy if she could. The current was strong and
was carrying him toward the shore. He had
gone under, and when he came again to the
surface he was near the bank and Miss Tracey
caught hold of him and pulled him out safely.
In little while he was able to go home I'M

"How to Make Things Go."-This was
the subject of lecture delivered Wednesday
night in Calvary Baptist Church, Towson, by
Rev. DR.. Madison G. Peters, pastor of In
manuel Baptist Tabernacle Baltimore. Among
other good things he said:
every man is born with bias for some
pursuit. Every man has been sent into the
world for special design, and it is our first
business to find out what nature intended us
for. Man makes an i'll figure when he tries to
run four-inch slide on three-inch groove.
parents should never select vocations for
their children. No man should choose bust
ness because he inherits it, or enter a profess
sion because his father wants him to follow it.
Many men are dabbling in professions for
which they have no inclinations. Many eIo-
cutionists would make better chambermaids;
many lawyer would make better motor
man. Better be shoemaker and put genius
in your work than preach sermons nobody
wants to hear.
'If you have failed in life so far it may be
because you have not worked along the line of
your bent. Goldsmith was miserable failure
as physician, but who else could have written
The Deserted Village'P The world has been
very kind to boys who were called blockheads
ct school. Sir Walter Scott was called block
head by his teacher, and even Wellington's
mother never expected anything of her boy.
But when they were properly placed and fol-
lowed the choice of their hearts they succeeded.
'Any vocation, however humble. if useful,
may be made honorable by the spirit carried
into the work. See to it that your occupation
is useful and one that will developyou. Never

gize. You cannot justify yourself that some
body must do the business you are in. Let
somebody else take the responsibility. Let
your ambition be to be good man rather than
a successful man. Success consists not in
what a man has, but what man is. Charac-
ter is capital; it is the greatest thing in the
world"

Crows and Hawk Fight to a Finish
Druid Hill Park, near Superintendent Casselps
residence, was the scene on Sunday of one of
the fiercest battles ever fought between crows
on the one side and large chicken hawk on
the other, and, perhaps the only battle of its
kind in which the hawk suffered defeat says
the Baltimore Sum-
1t is we'll known fact that the relations be-
tween hawks and crows have been strained
perhaps since creation, hawks neglecting no
opportunity to destroy young crows before
they leave the nests. Representatives of the
two species of birds rarely meet without bat
tie. They usually fight in midair. This is
no doubt the reason why the hawk has won so
many victories.
Fully IL or Is crows took part in Sundays
battle The hawk was attacked in midair
while lowering over crows nest. The on
slaught made him furious and he retaliated by
swoopng down on the tree in which the nest
was built. The crows were determined to drive
off the enemy, and made systematic and
concerted onslaught on the intruder. First
one and then another would dive at him, and
in short time the ground under the tree was
strewn with feathers.
The hawk fought with bill and claws, while
the crows used only their bills. The fight be-
came so hot that the hawk was compelled to
leave the tree and, being too exhausted to fly.
stand, and the battle was an interesting one,
passengers on the Emory Grove cars being
among the spectators. First one crow and
then another would give the hawk dig with
his bill and then jump back to escape the saw
age plunges of the hawk.
The hawk fought as long as he could stand
on his feet. Even while lying on his side or
back he kept up the struggle. The crows,
however, were relentless and kept on pecking
away until their adversary fell dead. They
then flew off considerable distance patched
up their cuts and bruises as best they could.
Not single one of their number was killed

Monkton, 10th District.-The high price
that potatoes have maintained has been an
incentive to farmers to plant many more than
usual and this season, if the crop turns out
well, they may over do it and it would not be
surprising to see them touch 25 cents bushel.
A few years ago the price of potatoes was
higher than now and farmers went into plant
ing on large scale. The result was that when
the crop was ready for market the growers dld
not realize much more than enough to pay
freight and commissions. Look out for cheap
potatoes shortly.

County Commissioner Slade, whose pretty
home is at Corbett, n. G. R. R., is about to

is now in progress.
During the heavy blow of few days ago
the frame work of one of the new buildings OF
the American Farm Compay at Corbett was
moved from its foundation. And this calls to
mind the fact that the scarcity of farm help
in this community is largely due to the attrac..
tions that Corbett is offering in the way OF
employment. The Improvements in progress
there draw laborers who prefer that sort of
work to the long hours of the farm.

The Sparrows Point Manual Training
School.-Ihe Sparrow's Point Times of Sat
urday last said On Friday night next, April
18th, Prof. Shamberger will give "Fathers'
and ID Streets and also have on exhibition
samples of the work done by the boys under
his instruction during the present year. The
school house will be open at 8 o'clock, and to
this meeting he cordially invites not only the
fathers of all the boys who are at work, but
fathers of all the boys who should attend the
school.
Sparrow's Point has the only Manual Train
ing School in Baltimore county, as part of
the public school system, and no place in the
State is SO admirably equipped for just such
school. The boy who has the opportunity of
manual school training along with his pub
lie school studies, and at the same time the adj
ded advantage of large manufacturing in
dustry, such as the Maryland Steel Company,
to give practical illustration to his daily work,
is indeed fortunate.
The Manual Training School at Sparrow's
Point was established in September, 1900, by
the School Commissioners of Baltimore coun-
ty, under an act of the Legislature which au-
thorizes the establishment of one school in
each county and appropriates $1,000 per an
mum for its support That Sparrow's Point
was selected was due largely to efforts of Mr..
R. K. Wood and Prof. Joseph Blair assisted
by the Maryland Steel Company who provided
the building, 40 feet by 60 feet, heated by
steam and lighted by electricity.
The boys in the public schools, from the
second to the seventh grades, have certain
hours each day when they can go to the
Manual School and during the first year the
average daily attendance was 83. This year
the daily average is much larger, though re-
Gently the attendance has been reduced by
reason of the prevalence of whooping cough.
The freehand drawing class is open to the girls
as well as the boys. The daily work at pres
ent is divided into five classes, viz, first paper
work second, cardboard work; third knife
lathe work.
