thought that would settle him, because he
received such a good licking, but it didn't.
Fact is, he's a born fighter and he's like
the proverbial 1ea-you can't get your
finger on him until it's too late. Why, he's
all around the place at mis- own sweet will,
and how he manages II, I don't know. Just
when I think he's safely locked in this room
I'll discover that he's missing and, on
searching for him, find him over with his
father entertaining the men with his ttal-
ian songs, or in the dining room stealing
hunks of rye bread, or over at the hospital
trying to get in to see his sister. He's
the ringleader in all sorts Of mischief, and,
I tell you, he keeps me earning my money"
The keeper grinned as he saw the boy, in
an effort to scramble down from the bunk,
miss his footing and sprawl ANONYMOUSLY
on the slate floor. Then, as the lad picked
himself up and, despite the evident hard
tumble, walked away with a swagger, meant
to show that he wasn't hurt, the man
spoke admiringly:
Hes a plucy lad and a bright one. Dur
ing the time he's been here he's managed
to pick up a good deal of English and he
can make out pretty we'll what I say to
him. One day not long ago I told him
about our president and he seemed much
interested. Inc next QSy ne came up 10
me and, half in italian and half In English,
made me understand that he's been think
ing very hard about what I'd said aboIt
the president, and he believed led like to
be president some day. When 1 told him
that he couldn't because he'd been born in
Italy, his face fell and he seemed much
disappointed.
"In order to make hin feel better-Ive
taken quite a fancy to him-I tried to ex-
plain that, although he couldn't be presi-
dent, HI could be many other things, and
I ended up by saying that the best thing
he could be was a good citizen. He asked
me to explain what that meant, and I did
as best as 1 could. In the middle of the
talk I was called away by something and
forgot about the boy until l found him
Juggling at my arm an hour or so later.
"What do you want, Italy?" I said.
"'Please, SIR he answered-all these
children are very polite, although you
wouldn't expect tim going to be-"
Shrieks and shouts from the center of
the room hurriedly drew the keeper thither,
where he was instantly surrounded by two
fearful women and their dozen offspring,
equally divided. For full five minutes he
listened to their chattering, then he led
one of the gaudily clad mothers and her
children to another section OF he room
and seated them on a bench. After he
had helped bring up the family's bundles,
he returned and took up the interrupted
talk,
Omaha daily bee., 1903-02-01

That boy said, I'm going to be a good
citizen And he was so much in earnest
that I'm willing to wager that he'll make
good his words. Why, he's actually begun
punching the other boys because they won't
take off their caps to and salute the little
American flag that he got for a Christmas
present"
Tho guide paused to reflect.
Maybe the missionaries didn't mean II
to have that effect, but the tree that they
had here Christmas has stirred up a lot
Of trouble for me. That tree was in
directly responsible for the squabLle I've
Just settled. Near as I could make out, 1t
began over an attempt Of one of the daugh-
tiers of one family to steal a doll from
the daughter Of the other woman. Every
girl here got a doll from the tree, but
many Of them have since tried to become
mother CT larger families, with the re-
suits that their days and their mothers
days and my days especially have been full
of trouble.
But that tree has showed me one thing
how quickly and easily the children of all
nations-even the roaming Arabians-take
up with American ways. Until Christmas
day the boys had never played with mar
les-had never seen 'em, so far as I can
find OUTPUT an hour after they had re-
ceived their bags Of marbles, along with
other gifts of apples, oranges and candies,
they were playing with them just like a ma
tive born would. And the girls-well, the
dear little things seemed to understand
what the dolls were for the minute they
saw them on the tree, and when they were
handed around the first thing they did was
to clasp the china babies to their breasts
and Groom childish lullabies to them in
fifty different tongues. They also stood the
dolls on their heads and critically xamined
the clothes, just as my little daughter
does. And whenever one of the girls has
happened to break her doll, It has almost
broken her heart, just as with my little
girl. Why, that mite from Poland cried
all day yesterday and wouldn't be COM
forted until sleep overlook her because her
doll, in falling, lost the bigger part of its
face. Poor little girl, It was a great loss
to her, because II was her first doll. Since
thou she and her older sister have been
sharing the latter's doll between them and
lavishing all the love on 1t that any two
little American girls possibly could.
THE only plaything that the boys seem
to have in common with our youngsters
when they land is the pocketknife, and
this is exhibited IN all states Of imperfec-
ton. The girls don't bring over a toy Of
any ort-no even a miserable rag doll.
Fact is, I've gathered from my talks with
their mothers that their daughters never
knew about dolls in the old country.

into it to buy a lead pencil. He offered me
one made in New York, and when l asked
him II he handled other American goods,
took me through rooms filled with unit
bookcases, desks and office furniture, and
me cases of American inks, pencils
and pens. AS l looked at them he said:
81 can sell American goods, but / don't
care especially to do SO, for your people DO
not watch my interests nor try to save
money for me. Only last month I had a
customer who wanted a certain brand of
American pen. l wrote a New York expor-
ter to send me three boxes by mail, and
supposed that the charges would be about
20 cents. The exporter sent the pens by
express, so that they cost me, in commits
sions and f~reights, 1920, and the result was
that l lost on the transaction. This is a
little thing, but IL is only one OF many in
which the carelessness OF you Americans
causes us to lose money"

beware of Wireless Kiss Council Bluffs Library

George, dear, how could I send a
kiss across the ocean by the wireless tele-
graph"
"A kiss, my love? That's something of
a puzzle. No doubt it could be launched
all right, but would it get there and get
there intact? OF course il 1t flew too high
the four winds Of heaven would be apt to
snatch it up and whirl it anywhere save
in the right direction. And then again, II

from the ocean that would ruin II for all
commercial purposes. In afraid, my dear,
that science can't grapple with this prob
lem just yet. OF course it wouldn't do to
give your kiss to Sig. Marconi and ask him
ito forward il. The young lady who is
Nbout to entrust her happiness in his keep
ing might object to this. You must either
wait, my love, or send your kisses by mail
prepaid, with a stamp Enclosed for re-
turn"
Thank you. dear. I was sure you
would know all about it.-Cleveland Plain

"Araby, Russky, Polack, Italy" he
shouted, "pop-dad --fadder!"
On the instant a hundred children tore
towards the men, and those whose fathers
were in the group shouted and laughed as
they scrambled around their parents legs
and held on to their hands as they moved
towards their wives. But the others, openly
showing their disappointment, sought the
keeper-their refuge and adviser In all
sort Of trouble-and reproached him in
childish jabber. The keeper waved his
hand.

to tell mothers OF the good news.

ing station. He accompanied his words by
an energetic wave of the hands, and a
dozen laughing boys and girls fell reluc-
family away from his coat tails and legs.
Then the man turned to the visitor.
Lively brats, amt they-these adopted
kids of Uncle Sam" he queried.
EYES," agreed the other, they're as full
of mischief as the native born"
"Umph!' grunted the keeper, they're a
jIal sight worse, and all the hundreds who
Lpass through the island every day in the
year are just like 'em. They keep this bit
of land filled with trouble"
He looked around the great room, lighted
by a dozen windows, until, in a far corner,
and high over the heads of the 200 occu-
pants of long, low benches and gaudily clad
groups, standing patiently alongside ban
~dana-covered baggage, he beheld a boy
swinging by his heels from one of the wire
cots suspended from the wall.
Look at that youngster," he said. Hes
been here three months-he and his mother
waiting for his sister to get out Of the
hospital across the island, where she's been
having all the ills that American boys and
girls are heirs to. She started in with
measles the day she landed and since then
she's had scarlet fever, humps, chickenpox
and what not one after the other. In the
meantime that boy and his ma have been
kept here, though they've been passed for
landing, for it's a rule to detain healthy
members of the family until the sick ones
are ready to go ashore with them. Nearly
all of the youngsters you see s%prawling all
around are here for the same reason. That's
why say Uncle Sam is their foster father,
because eventually they'll get safely
ashore.
"Well, that kid-he's from Naples, his
daddy, in the detention room for men
across the hall, says-has been making
more trouble for me than a half dozen
Yankee boys could think Of all togeth n.
He started in the second day he was here
to carve up that little black-eyed Araby
girl over there, because she wouldn't let
Shim kiss her, and l not only had to take
away his pocketknife, but l had to separate
the two mothers, who were pounding each
other over the heads with their fists for all
they were worth. Next day the boy tried
to whip all the other boys at one and the
same time, with the result that : was
compelled to pull him out from under a
pile of small bodies representing every
country in Europe and a few in Asia. l

A Pleasant Gathering.

On Tuesday afternoon, May 9TH, the
Science Circle held their annual meet
ing at the residence of Mrs. Ida New
comb ON Butler street, and, notwith
standing the downpour of rain, every
member was present and each seemed
to bring o supply of sunshine with
them for the hours SO full of wit and
wisdom sped away altogether too soon.
After the regular program the club wac
called to the business of election of
officers and the following named ladies
we're chosen to serve for the ensuing
year: Mrs. Lettie Andrews, Pres; Mrs.
Mary q. Pierce, Vice Pres, and Mrs.
Susie Doty, Secy. and Treas.
The members of the Circle had plan
ned surprise on Mrs. Newcomb, their
retiring secretary, who had served the
club faithfully in that capacity for the
past three years. They had brought
we'll filled baskets which were stored
across the street, and had made all ar
arrangements to stay to tea although
they were unlimited guests. A small
gift for Mrs. Newcomb had been pro
vided by the ladies to show their ap-
probation of her work as secretary.
Some silver tablespoons were presented
her by Mrs. Thrill accompanied by the
following original poem.

slip of the tongue couple of months
ago, but is very glad of it now. He was
leading the service at young peoples
meeting and in the course of his prayer
said: 20 Lord, give us clean hearts,
humble hearts, pure hearts, sweet
hearts,. The last caused litter which
nearly broke up the service. After the
meeting was over one of the young els

it. Her question gave him an oppor-

his odd mistake in the pulpit came in

advice brought relief to a strained sit
