a USEFUL PAPA,

Can your papa make every thing
Inc way my pa can do?
Does he know how to drive in nails?
And does he keep the glue
Tight in a corner of his desk
Just,to mend things for you?
When doliy's carriage lost wheel
He fixed it in minute,
And made it just as good as new.

AND took them out to ride that day
He said he had to pin it,
And when my dolly's hammock came.
He screwed those little hooks
Right in the wall to hang it on
Just see how sweet it looks!
I have my clothes-line there sometimes.
He mends my picture books,
And all the little plates break
That's when he uses glue.
And oh, he makes me wooden spoons
To stir mud pies with, too.
can your papa do all the things
That my papa can do?

HOW sHELLF1sH TALK.
Succession of Weird Clickings
and Sounds.

Most seamen will tell of curious
clicking sounds heard on calm nights
at sea, and the origin of the noise
seems so altogether unaccountable that
it has often created some alarm among
superstitious fishermen.
distinguished naturalist made
careful study of the sounds on many
occasions, and found that it was not a
sustained note, but made up of null
titude of tiny ones, each clear and dis
tinct in itself, and ranging from a
high treble down to bass. When the
ear was applied to the gunwale of the
boat, the sound grew more intense, and
in some places, as the boat moved on.
it could not be heard at all.
On other occasions the sounds resem-
bled the tolling of bells, the booming
of guns. and the notes of an AeGian
harp.
For long time he was unable to
trace the cause, but at length discov-
cred that the sounds were made by
shellfish. hundreds of them opening
their shells. and closing them wi
sharp snaps. The noise. partly NUT
fed by the water. sounded indescrib-
ably weird. He was finally led to the
conclusion that, as the shellish made
the sounds, they probably had some
meaning, and that the clicks might pos.

the shallow water was disturbed by

He Stuck to the Worms.

AT country school in Ohio the
teacher was giving her pupils an IL
lustration of what an object was. Hav-
ing concluded, she naturally was care
full to be convinced that the class un-
derstood the lesson. She, therefore,
asked them to name an object. There
was silence for moment, and then a
little six-year-old, anxious for prefer
ment, raised his hand. remarking:
Teacher. 1 can name one." Well"
said the teacher, name it." "a little
worm" Correct" said the teacher;
now, who can name another object?"
Another pause, and then the same
hand was up again. Ali" exclaimed
the teacher, pleasantly. II see you are
the only one who understands the les
son. Now name it, Another little

FIRE BOYS ARRANGE
For Series of Dances to be Given Dur

DOUGLAS, Sept. Last night the Douglas fire company held their reg ular meeting at the re house There was a good attendance and a com mendable spirit of enthusiasm pre- vailed among the members which augurs well for fire protection for this city in the future as a result of con tinued improvement in the efficiency of the fire company and fts equipment for fighting fire.
 The report of the ball given by the company at the Hotel Queen last week was submitted to the meeting and it was found that about s25 had been put to the good as a result of the dance which was a most successful one from every point of consideration.

Temporary Building at PirtIeviIIe Abandoned-Call for Bids Brought in But One--It Was Thought to Be Tco High.
Especial to Review.

DOUGLAS. Sept. 7.-Th public schools of Douglas will open the an- nual session. on Monday morning next with Thomas Grindell as principal and corps of ten teachers.
 In Pirtleville the board of trustees had intended to put up temporary building for the accommodation of the school in that addition, but as the district was without funds and the builder would have to wait for his money until the proposed bond issue had been consumated, it was found that the contractors were unwilling to do this and when the time came for opening the bids it was found that one bid had been submitted. There was considerable talk about the bid being too high, so the board concluded that it was best to defer any build ing in Pirtleville until such time as the funds were in hand to pay for it. Mir. Simpson. who owns a building which is suitable for school purposes is now putting an addition to it and it has been rented by the board for the accommodation of the Pirtleville school. The school board will hold a meeting today sometime for the pur- pose of making the final assignment of teachers and to bound the terri tory belonging to the three different schools in the district. The school in the north end of Douglas will be taught in the Prather building on Six teenth street.
 At the meeting today the school board will also take up for considera- ton the matter of the proposed bond election and the advertisement for the election may be ordered.

DuN's REVIEW.

New York, August 19.-R. G. Dun X Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Confidence is in continued Improvement of trade has been somewhat unsettled by sensational events In the wheat mar ket and the lack of harmony between la bor and capital It is becoming evident that estimates of the wheat crop must be reduced although other agricultural news is much better than usual Insofar as the purchasing power of the farmer Is concerned prices have risen so sharply that any loss in quantity promises to be made up, but this obvious fact is not ap- preciated by these dealers who are mak- ing less preparation for future trade Some disappointment is also felt by those who counted upon an early resumption of activity in building operations and oth- CT industries hampered by labor contro- versies,
 Otherwise news Of the week has con- tained much of an encouraging nature. In several manufacturing lines there is less idle machienry. Railways earnings thus far reported for the first week of Au- gust show small gain of i4 per cent as compared with last years figures.
 Small reductions In prices of cotton goods were made, notably in leading lines of bleached muslins and the changes pro- duce some weakness in the tone of other departments of the primary market, all though list prices a rule remain un- changed Thus far the policy of buyers has not changed, the general disposition
