TWELFTH CONGRESS.
Daughters of American ReYolu-
ton Convene at Washington.

Washington Feb 23-The twelfth
continental congress of the Daughters
of the American Revolution convened in
this city today Many of the leaders of
the organization that numbers 10000
patriotic women were present. Approx
imately 1000 delegates and alternates
from all the states i'm the union attend
ed. The congress Will be in session
throughout this week and already bids
fair to be marked by several warm con
tests. the principal one being over the
office of president general.
Mrs Charles w Fairbanks is a cars-
didate to succeed herself for the second
time She has already served one term
as president general and one term before
that as vice president general and the
opponents to he reelection claim that
her tenure in both Offices operate as two
continuous terms i'm the meaning Of an
amendment to the constitution pro
hibiting the officers from serving more
than two continuous terms. The ad-
vocates of her reelection contend that
the amendment was retroactive and that
she is therefore, eligible Mrs. Daniel
Manning, and Mrs Donald Mclean,
both of New York City, will be con-
spicuous in the campaign for president
general
The features of today's programme
were the addresses of President General
Fairbanks, the response by Mrs May
Phelps Montgomery, of Oregon, and the
ceremony of raising on the site of the
memorial continental hall the flag pre-
sented to the society of=the Sons of the
a american Revolution of Washington
Mrs Fairbanks in her address referr-
Cd to the influx of Italians Bohemians,
Poles and Russians in Greater New York
and said that the greatest aspiration
should be to eliminate the attaching Of
any other nationality to the word Amer
lea.
She referred to pending amendments
relating to limitations on the length Of
service Of officers and to change the
date of the annual netting to either the
week in which April 10 falls or to the
first Monday in May. and recjted the
arguments of both sides on the latter
question. but made no recommendation
beyond saying that all would regret
ever failure to meet in that week in
which Washingtons birthday occurs :,

captured and placed in Jail at Troy.

there is no hope of Grinstead's recov-
cry. There is great excitement here and
much talk of lynching.

MORRIS COUNTY CHRONICLE. FRIDAY, AUGUST IA, 1903
FOR THE CHILDREN


Jim Crow.
One afternoon last year my brother
snw in the top of large tree two
crows sitting on the edge Of the nest
They were feathered out and were
about ready to leave their home. So
he climbed the tree and brought them
down. They soon began to bop
around, always wanting something to
eat We fed them meat, as they cared
very little for angleworma AS one was
inclined to be cross, we decided to keep
only one.
A great many of our friends told us
II we split his tongue he would talk,
but they could not say that they had
ever heard one talk, so we did not do
it. We taught him to say ''HelloF' and
How do you do" quite plainly. When
he was angry be would scold away at
us with all his might We kept cup
at the well on purpose for Jim, and
when he was thirsty he would come
and rattle the cup We would come ut
his call and fill It up for him. When he
had drunk all ne wished to he would
never fail to tip the cup over and
watch the water run out on the plat
form of the well.
He delighted In carrying things off
whenever be could get chance. When
we gave him angleworrns he would
fly upon the top of the house and stick
them under the shingles
In the morning he would fly up to
INV hrofhorts room md SIT on the win
dow sill and call until he awoke him.
One morning late In the summer we
missed our Jim We called and called,
but no Jim came to get his breakfast
and we saw him no more, We think
that he must have been killed. as it
was too early for the crows to migrate

Game of ~squeals.v

This game Is something like blind
mans bluff. and If the day is a rainy
one and the room q large, empty one
and the players merry and many so
much the better. The catcher is blind
folded and occupies the center of a
circle formed by the rest of the com
pany, who clasp hands and dance
around. while the catcher recites these
lines
IT must catch my pigs and put 'em In the
pen,
must catch my pigs and put EN- in the
pen,
must catch my pigs and put EN- In the
pen
For tbs market day in the morning"
As the hast word is spoken the NOV
ing ring stops short, and the catcher
puts out his hand and selects his pig.
This one clutch Is all that is allowed.
Then the catcher says:
Hold Before make my cholce,
would hear my captive's voice"
The person caught gives squeal,
and If the catcher cannot guess to
whom the sslueal belongs the captive is
set free, tofns hands with the others
and the fun begins again II the catch
er fails three times running to make
the right guess he is out of the game
entirely, but he is allowed to name his
successor, who steps at once to the cen
ter, is carefully blindfolded and the
game goes on.

No Sweet Girl Graduates.

New York Sun.
The sweet girl graduate is no longer an
inevitable phenomenon of New York life.
She still exists in some New York schools.
But there are many others that do not
know her at ALL The white null gown, the
white gloves, the essay tied up in pale blue
ribbon and the valedictory. are as obsolete
sung by the girls who were leaving school
life behind them on that almost invariably
hot June day.
All these familiar incidents Of the school
years end have lost favor In New York.
They smacked, anyhow, of the cities out
side of New York, and that is the I'M
pardonable crime to those who live here or
send their children here to be educated and
polished with the veneer of metropolitan
life that no other city can give.
Commandments died out in New York

But some of the parents of other pupils
were not pleased TO see their children know

they were not acquainted So the teachers
realized that II would be the part of wisdom
10 omit the school commencement as well

commandments also disappeared because
d the schools that had no power to award
rather absurd. The education of women
has grown more serious and even the insti-
tutions that keep to some of the old-time
boarding school features realize that and
respect the schools and colleges that do
give diplomas too much to keep up this
pretty graceful burlesque any longer. So
