SATURDAY. JUNE o, 1908.
DEATH OF a CHILD.

written by William Allen White
was an editorial IN the Emporis
Gazette OF recent date on the
death OF little child. II is well
worth reading and is herewith re
produced:
A ten line item appeared in last
nights paper, away down Ia one
corner, that brought more hearts
together IN one common bond
the bond OF fear and sympathy
and sorrow, than any other item
has done for a long time. The
item told OF the death. by scarlet
fever, of little Flossie lengst.
Probably the child was not known
outside her little group OF play
mates; her father and mother are
not of that advertised clique known
OF men as prominent people; he is
an engineer on the Santa Fe, aud
the mother moves in that small
circle OF her irierds and neigh
bors which circumscribes American
motherhood OF the best type, And
yet last night when the little ten
line item was read by a thousand
hresides IN this town, thousands
and thousands OF hearts turned to
that desolate home by the track,
and poured upon 1t the henedIc-
ton OF their sympathies. That
home was the meeting place where
rich and poor, great and weak,
good aud bad, stood equals. For
there IS something IN the death oil
little child, something in its inf
mite pathos, that makes all human
creatures mourn. Because in ey-
cry heart that is not dead heart.
calIoused 20 all 10Y or sorrow,
some little child is enshrined-
either dead or living--and so child
love is the one universal emotiop
OF the soul, and child death is the
saddest thing in all the world.
\ child's soul is such a small
thing, the world and systems oil
worlds and the infinite stretches of
illimltable space are so wide for a
child's soul to wander in, that sane
as we may be, stolid as we may try
to be, we think in imagery and the
figure OF little feet setting off on
the far track to the end of things,
hunting God, wrings our heart
strings and makes our throats grip
and our eyelids CULVER.
And then child dying, leaving
this good world OF ours, seems TO
have had so small chance for
itself. There is something in all
OF us struggling against oblivion,
striving vainly to make some real
impress on the current OF time and
d child dying can only clutch the
hands about it and 60 down--for-
ever Ii seems so merciless, so
unfair. Perhaps that is why all
over the world, the little graves
are cared for best. 1t is to the
little graves that we turn and not
to the larger mounds in our keenest
anguish; to the little graves that
the hearts are drawn in our hours
of triumph. And so the child.
though dead, lives its appointed
time and dies only in the fullness
OF its years. Tne li;tl- shoes, the
little dresses, the "litile ui. soIdie.
covered with rust" and the nem-
ories sweeter than dreams OF {
honeymoon, these are life's i'm
morteles, that never fade. And
though men and women come and
20 upon the earth, though civiliz-
alton may wither and pass, these
little images remain; and the sun

pleasure, but business; and they are
attended mainly by people interested
in the Improvement of agriculture or
the breeding of stock. The small boy
is seldom seen at them. If he goes,
he is bored to death.
In olden days things were different.
Fairs were great institutions all over
England. Every county had at least
two or three a year, and they were
just as full of fun as they could be-
Cock-hghting, bull-hghting, fitting at
the ring, broadsword play, and fist
fights were favorite sports; while
there were hundreds of side-shows,
ranging from the wild Man of Bor-
neo' to the gypsy fortune-teller. A
hundred thousand people would attend
a big fair like Barnet Fair, which was
on a much larger scale than any
American county fair.
These gatherings were suppressed
because they led TO great deal of
drunkenness and disorder. Nowadays
only two or three of the old fairs are
held, and they are shorn of all their
former fun and frolic. Nothing has
taken their place, except the cattle
and agricultural shows, in which no
ordinary boy can be expected TO take
any interest

Shooting crocodiles by Lamplight.

In the West Indies erocodiles are
often shot at night. The hunter, with
a lantern, sits in canoe in one of
the creeks which the crocodiles infest.
The crocodiles are attracted by the
light and swim toward the canoe.
Their eyes shine out in the darkness
and form good targets for the hunters
bullets. Sometimes dozen crocodiles
are shot in a night.

The English boy has no such luck.
The county fair, as we have it, is un-

cultural shows, horticultural shows,
cattle shows, and poultry shows-but

These shows are run entirely for

In the British Navy the engineers
have a curious way of killing sharks.
They seal up a dynamite cartridge in
an empty can, and put the can inside
lump of pork. The pork is thrown
overheard on a wire, which has been
connected with an electric battery.
When the shark takes the bait, the
engineer presses a button which ex-
plodes the cartridge and kills the fish.
