DUCK ON A ROCK
IS FINE OLD GAME

Some years ago duck on a Rock
was one of the popular games among
the younger boys, but of late it seem,
to have been forgotten. As an invigor-
ating pastime, calculated to teach
youngsters quickness and make them
lively, 1t has no superior.
The game is played with cobble
stones and an old tin can, or an odd
stone. Any number of boys can par
ticipate. Select large stone for the
Crock" and each boy must have Il
cobblestone or half brick for his
Duck"
The boy who last finds his Duck
or cobblestone is ct" A line is drawn
IL or Is feet away from the boulder,
upon which the boy who is TT places
a tin can or his Duck"
He is guardian of the rock. The
other boys, pitching their Ducks
at the one on the rock, try to knock
it off. When Duck" is pitched the
player must try to recover it and get
back to the pitching line without being
tagged by the guardian of the Duck
on the rock.
The latter can only tag a player
when his own Duck" is on the rock.
Generally the players hover around
waiting for q lucky pitch to knock
the "Duck' off, when they grab their
own Ducks" and run to The line.
The guardian of the rock must replace
his "Duck" before he can tag any

APPEARANCES OF TIE CIT
SCHOOL oRouNDs.

Out of the 20 school buildings in this
city thev all have enough ground re-
served to make beautiful surroundings.
Because of this people are anxious to
have school buildings near their homes,
as it increases the value of their prop
erty. They all have a fourth or half
block reserved, but most have at
least half block. They are improved
with grass, vines, shrubbery and trees.
In some places they have flowers in
the school yard. At first the children
pick them, but they soon learn to re-
spect the public grounds.
Some of the school yards are all in
grass, but it would be much better in
this country where they have to irri-
gate if the children's playground was
in sand and gravel, it would be much
better for the athletic games that
cannot be played on the grass.
In some cities they neglected to buy
grounds for the school buildings before
it was high priced and now have no
grounds. 1t is wise thing that SUCH
generous reservation has been made in
a new city like Spokane, and it is a
common remark of strangers in our
city: "What splendid reserve Spo-
kane has made for its public school
grounds"
Every public spirited child Of spo-
kane may be justly proud Of these
grounds and ought to study how they

MOGY BERNSTEIN.

Mogy has prospered from the start.
In addition to selling papers, he open
ed up a bootblack stand, and in few
Years he was the proprietor of three
such enterprises.
He next established home for
friendless newsboys, and it is largely
through his efforts and contributions
that the home is kept alive.
Mogy makes a practice of giving the
newsboys a picnic once year, on
which occasions they are taken to one
of the suburbs Of the city and given
a days outing. On Thanksgiving and
Christmas Mogy treats his newsboy
friends to a sumptous banquet at one
of the leading hotels of the city.
Omaha proposed to build a public
auditorium and Mogy's check for 500
was the first contribution toward the
new enterprise. The building is to
be dedicated in June and Mogy occu-
pies a prominent place on the pro-
gram as one of the leading citizens
who made the enterprise possible.
This month Mogy made a new de-
parture and appeared in the role of
a publisher. He established "Mogy's
Magazine" a monthly periodical of
western fiction by western writers.
The magazine made an instanta-
neous hit and the newsboys sold more
copies of "Mogy's Magazine" than they
did of their newspapers.
Meanwhile Mogy still stands on the
street corners and sells his newspapers
in addition to looking after one news
stand and three bootblacking parlors
in Omaha one in South Omaha and
one in Council Bluffs. Mogy is not yet
the richest resident of Omaha, but
such a future is predicted for him if
his new enterprise turns out as well
as his other ventures have in the past.

WHY DOES CATERPILLAR
WEAR FUR OVfRCOAT
IN THE SUMNER

All caterpillars don't wear fur over
coats IN summer, a great many don't
wear anything outside but their skin,
but the kind that does wear the over
coat is very numerous as every boy
and girl knows.
The fur or hair on the caterpillar
was given by nature as a protection
from other living creatures, particu-
larry birds, who consider most small
crawlers as food delicacies intended
especially to crafty brides appetite.
But there are not many birds who
could swallow crawler that wears
fur ovecoat. IL would stick in his
throat, and if he did get it down, prob
ably it wouldn't digest.
Most caterpillars are brown or green,
but some are dressed up in the grand
est kind of way in many colors and
ornamental knobs, or to use big
word, protuberances.
A strange method of protection is
that given to the caterpillar that after
wards turns into "swallowtail but
terfy." This caterpillar has an OPEN
ing in the skin back of the head that
emits a powerful odor. Probably not
powerful enough to knock a man
down." but certainly strong enough to
keel over bird unless, maybe. it
would have such bad cold that it
couldn't smell anything.
A favorite way caterpillars have to
resist an attack is to hurl their bodies
from side to side, and some try to look
fierce. Certain caterpillars escape the
enemy by their resemblance to the
color Of their surroundings.
One variety not only uses the color
effect, but is able to attach his hind
end to a branch and stretch himself
out so that he looks like a twig. This
fellow can stay rigid that way for a
long time.
The meanest thing that happens to
a caterpillar is when an Ichneumon
fly lays its eggs on him and when the
little Ichs hatch out thew eat him ND.

HOW WE CAM KEEP SPOKANE
STREETS CLEAN.

Spokane is at present growing to a
great extent. II now the streets are
neglected in time to come, say about
so years, the people win then say; IF
the people who lived here after the
fire had attended to such things we
might have a beautiful city," as in
certain parts of New York the streets
are in clean manner. 1t is also said:
"If the Dutch, who first settled New
York, had been more particular New
York would be a much finer city"
l think it is the duty of every good
citizen to clean up about his home and
also to plant trees. II is not for our
selves we are planting the -trees, but
for to improve the beauty of the city
1t would be nicer to have place
to put trash in and then our streets
would look nicer. Then, think, a
law ought to be passed to have trash
box in the citv in about every two
blocks. 1t would also save a great
deal OF money.
