WHITE HOUSE cocKFleHT.
Archie Roosevelt Had One Arranged

hut the President >poiteu ~.
. The Roosevelt youngsters had
planned a gala event 10 celebrate their
departure from the White House. says
a washington dispatch 10 the Phila-
delphia Press. All OF the Roosevelt
bows aud their companions are fond OF
animal pets, among them chickens.
The presidential stables are fun or
coops. in which many fine birds are
confined. None OF the grown mem
beers of the household considered II
worth notice that the boys recently
spent great deal OF time around the
stables.
The president thought the children
shared his love for horses and ami
mails. but the evening before the de
parture of the children for Oyster Bay
he was startled 10y some Of the infan-
tile prattle. and a slight investigation
revealed the fact that the boys con
templated a big cooking main" to
come of in the stables early on the
morning of their departure for oyster
Bay.
Kermit and Archibald got n good
talking TO. and the troop of youngsters
who assembled betimes TO see the
feathers fly were disappointed by the
EXPLANATION, Somebody told father,
and he won't let's" When the chill
dren return, it is said they will not
have the free run of the stables, and
precautions will be taken TO prevent
their juvenile cOnspiracies breaking
the laws of the land.
Since their departure Mr.. Ffeister,
the White House gardener, has been
busy recognizing his flower beds. On
the last day the children invited him
to make tour of the flower garden.
"What Is the name of that plant,
Mr.. Ffeister?" And the old gardener
would give the name. And that one
Just near it," Without looking he
would reply, "Oh, that is one of the
same kind, only little different"
His attention was finally attracted
and to his diSmay he discovered that
the children had industriously inter
mixed his pets with the rankest quail
ity of weeds. They had potted them in
old tomato cans and had planted them
through the beds just to fool the ole
! gardener.

At Dawn.

IT'S fun in summer time to rise
Up at the break of dawn
And with the clicking mower clip
The whiskers on the lawn.
The air is fresh and cool and pure.
The exercise Is great,
And one can cut lot of grass
From four o'clock to eight.
What matters it, though neighbors
swear
And try to stop their ears?
The man at work upon his lawn
Their comments never hears.
Although they fume and fuss and fret,
1t doesn't bother him,
And SO he twists the mower round
And shoves 1t with vim.
Oh, yes, it's fun to stir your blood
And cultivate your Drawn
By rising with the sun to NOW
The whiskers on your lawn.
And even though the neighbors' eyes
Are sleepless, open wide,
Don't let the thought disturb your Joy:
The law Is on your side.

Why Two Ears Are Necessary

Sound travels by waves radiating
from central point of disturbance,
Just as waves radiate when Il stone is
dropped into still water. SO far as the
hearing of each individual is concerned
these waves move in direct line from
the cause of the sound to his ear, the
impact being the greatest in the ear
nearest to the source This being the
case, person who has totally lost the
sense of hearing in one ear, although
he may imagine that the defect is of
little consequence, cannot locate the d.
rection of sound to save his life, even
when the center of disturbance is quite
near him.

~ to prove an annoyance and hinder
younger than thirteen are too young
for camping out experience and are
likely to grow homesick
Some camps require the boys to pack
their clothes in q canvas bag because
boxes are hard to handle and take up
much camp room. But the bag is not
nearly so convenient for the camper as
q box. An ordinary box about 80 inches
long, Is inches wide and Is deep. with
rope handles, strong hinges and a pad
lock. is the best receptacle for the
young campers outfit. To each boy in
camp is assigned a number, which
must be sewed on every article of
clothing. Each camp box must also be
marked with the name and number OF
the owner.
In preparing an outfit straw hats,
starched goods and good clothes are
tabooed. The following for each boy
is suggested by one Of the oldest asso-
citation camps: Stockings. tennis slip,
Feie' iuooei pootS UT oVerSnoeS, suit Vi
light underclothing, suit of heavy un.
derclothing, trousers, outing shirts,
coat, old cap, wooden sweater, two
very heavy blankets, a pillowcase to
be filled with hay, soap Gin metal box
! brush and comb, towels, toothbrush
handkerchiefs, swimming trunks, Bi
Bile, Gospel Hymns. The following
may be taken also if desired Camera,
tennis racket fishing tackle, notebook
paper, pencil, reading matter, gymna
stun suit, clotheshrush, mirror, needle
and thread and suit of clothes fol-
wear when away from camp.
When the camp has been organized
and the day Of arrival at camp fixed
an advance party is sent out severa

Inc French horn or cor de chasse is
regarded by some musicians as the
sweetest and mellowest of all the wind
instruments. In Beethoven's time it
was little else than the old hunting
norm, which, for the convenience of the
mounted hunter, was arranged in spiral
convoludons, to be slipped over the
mead and carried resting on one Shout
der and under the opposite arm. The
Germans still call it the waldhorn-
that is, forest horn"

Presence of Mind.

During performance at one of the
London theaters a man and his wife
had to quarrel on the stage, the wom-
an in rage of jealousy, the man try
ing to persuade her that she was too
suspicious and too passionate. Both
were acting with great spirit when the
wife moved her arm too near the can
die, and her muslin dress was in flames
in an instant. Both actors kept their
heads, however. The husband eXtin-
guished the fire and. proceeding with
his part, interpolated:
"You see, my dear, l was right. You
are ready to fare up at the least thing"

DAYS ahead TO prepare for it. The adj
vance party is usually made up of one
or two leaders. the cook and several
older boys. They set up the tents,
build the kitchen and have a hot meal
ready for the campers when they APP
pear on the scene. The boys are mar.
shaled to the train or boat 10y which
they are to 90, accompanied by the
leaders, and. With their baggage, start
for the jolliest kind of an outing.
The most desirable sleeping tent Is
one that will accommodate six or eight.
Some camps use the 10 by II, others
the II by II foot wall tent. Boys are
permitted to sleep in the open air in
fine weather wrapped in their blankets.
At 8 o'clock the tattoo or signal TO re
tire is sounded At $50 comes taps,
when all lights are put out in the tents
and silence observed. Reveille is sound
ed at $50. Those who wish to rise be-
fore are privileged TO do so, but they
must not disturb the sleepers.
Then comes breakfast. and the camp
ers are always ready. Good food in
abundance is served ut cost of 10
cents a meal, or about 81 per week, the
actual cost of the raw materials.
Every camp has definite under
standing regarding swimming. No boy
is allowed to enter the water except at
stated times and in the presence of one

THE BERNHARDT HAT.

The latest hat acquired by the Di-
vine Sarah is very close at the back
and flares up at the left, is composed
of mauve straw braid and folds of
chiffon in the same shade alternating.
The brim, which flares high. at the left,
lis faced entirely with soft .velvety
pansies in every possible shade, a YER
table color concert in violet and gold,
the violet ranging from purple to palest
mauve, the gold from coppery gor-
geousness to cream white. Yet is all
delicate and daintily blended in the eX-
IRENE, and without a trace of the stiff
ness that often distinguishes pansy
hats. Toward the back a few of the
pansies tumble over the left brim to
the crown.
Another form of the Colonial is noted
in an altogether lovely rose hat. The
foundation is quite lost to sight since
thencroWn is matched with white vel
vet foliage and the rest of the hat is
composed of something like half a hun
bred white roses set, tight together. At
the left of the crown are set three
white roses with a goodly quantity of
green foliage; this by way of trim
ming.
A red rose hat on the shape of the
white rose hat is entirely overlaid with
daintiest rose foliage. Into this foliage,
especially on the brim facing, are in
troduced sprays of roses, the tiny buds
a deep crimson, the full blown roses a
lovely pink. A good-sized cluster is
at the left of the crown.

THE CHAUFFEUR.
day was gloriously bright,

The day was gloriously bright,
A royal, perfect day,
When peace and joy, in golden light,
On crest and valley lay.
Lo, sudden through its midst there
veered
A whirring, huge machine,
Wherein was crouched goblin wierd,
Swathed, visored, goggled green.
Athwart flow'y vale he tore
He scurried up a hill
And down again like mad he bore
All reckless of a spill.
The fields high-arched by tender skies,
Stretched fair on either hand:
Alas, in vain they wooed his eyes
Twas but his watch be scanned!
A trail of dust behind him spread,
And oaths and shouts and groans;
He stayed for living not for dead,
For ruts not sticks not stones,
He grasped his lever with smile
Betokening his glee-
