! But the parks are not alone for the boys.
Dressed in their best, the little girls take
walks there each evening. sometimes by
themselves-or. more properly, without an
adult along to mind them-and some
times. especially If it is a little late, with
their ELDERS. They meet one another and
play together, and perchance cast sidelong
gIances at the boys. Often a game of tag
hide and seek is entered into by both
boys and girls, and there is lots of fun for
all concerned.
There are still other children in the parks
at this time of the year. Little ones who
are too young to be allowed to play alone
are taken out by the nurse girls or by their
older brother or sister and given the bene-
fit of the delightful evening air and the
sight of the green grass and pretty flowers
While the maids sit on the benches and
chat, their lively charges enjoy themselves
rs only children can If a search Is neces-
sary to find one OF them after few mo-
1nents of negligence on the part of the
nurse IL only adds interest to the occasion
and teaches the latter to be more careful
next time.
Then there are the babies. They, too,
must not be deprived of the fun. Their
mothers and nurses wait until the cool of
the evening comes on and then wheel their
carriages along the attractive park walks,
pointing out to them the attractions of the
park in baby language, and the other chill
dren playing. Whether the babies under
stand it all or not. il makes no difference.

Square. Here every pleasant afternoon
may be seen scores of boys and girls at
play en- the grass or sitting on the benches
watching the people pass by.
In the eastern section, Lincoln Park. at
18th and East Capitol streets, is very popu-
lar. This is one of the largest open squares
in the city. and the children from all parts
of East Washington flock thither to enjoy
the evening in the open. They play around
the edge of the fountains, sailing wooden
and Paper boats and trying to splash each
other with the water by leaning far over
the side of the basin.
No prettier sight is to be found than the
crowds of little ones of all ages and de-

Il don't know what the children would
do without the parks" remarked a Wash
ington mother not long ago. They are the
greatest boon to those families who are
unable to afford a summer vacation in the
country or at the seashore. The mere sight
of the green grass, the trees and the
brlght-colored flowers is enough to do them
great good. And when they are allowed
to romp and play on the grass 1t Is Of
Inestimable benefit to their little bodies.

WARSAW June IA. 1905.
Perhaps the most hated and certainly the
most dreaded spot in all Warsaw is the
citadel. once fortress, but now political
urison behind the walls of which many
grim and terrible tragedies are enacted.
Many a Warsaw family Is mourning hus-

been dragged away by the gendarmes at

of them are lost forever; their fate is never

Siberia or exile.

uary $3.50. reports of wholesale butchery
at the citadel have Mortified Warsaw. Ac-
cording to these reports men and women
are hanged almost daily; the fishermen liv-
ing hard by hear strange. muffed cries COM

sian officers themselves return pale and
trembling from the scenes their duty FORCES
them TO witness.

-HE national capital, with its many
parks. Is a paradise for the children
The little spots Of the country that
u are scattered thickly throughout
every portion of the city, in business
and residence section alike attract the
youngsters by the scores AS soon as school
is out, and particularly as soon as dinner is
over in the evening or late afternoon, the
parks assume a gala appearance. and were
1t not for the absence of lunch baskets and
other signs of the outdoor meal, one might
think that picnics are held there every day.
The boys gather to talk over base ball and
to roll on the grass, when it is permitted,
and also to chase one another among the
bushes. In this way they get rid of their
surplus energy, which might otherwise lead
them into mischief, and give their bodies
I the necessary exercise TO make up for the
hours of confinement in the school rooms.
AS adjur cts to the parks, there are also the
vacant lots where ball playing is permitted,
and every evening until dark there are hum
dreds of little lads who spend their time
throwing the sphere and racing around the
bases.

BEAR TENDING THE SWITCH.
santa Fe Brakeman Found Bruin on
Guard and Hilzed.


Albuquerque, n. NJ, Nov. 11.-There IS
a Santa Fe brakeman in Albuquerque
these days who has a bear story to tell.
But the man who asks him for it takes
the risk of being slaughtered in cold
blood. It would be a pleasure to give
the brakeman's name but It would not
be safe, so the story will have TO 60
without it.
The other night when a belated section
of a red ball freight got to the top Of
Glorietta pass, the head end brakeman
trailed along in front to set switch
The switch was about quarter OF
mile ahead Of the engine as is often the
case on a wet night. The brakeman
footed 1t UP the track to the switch
swinging his lantern and stumbling over
the slippery ties. He was SO intent on
mis- footing that he did not look up until
within a few feet of the switch, then
he swung his lantern and saw sight
that caused him to have chiils. Sitting
compiacently beside the switch was a
bear estimated by the brakeman in his
first report of the occurrence to be fully
eight feet tail. The brakeman took one
long soul-satisfying look and liked He
didn't fall down going back and he made
the quarter in Torty-four seconds fat.
The conductor and the rear end brake
man laughed at his story. but they went
ahead with him, when they came with

the story comes from the conductor s
report. The report says that the bear
took to the timber line and that owing
to the eEigencies Of the schedu le,- the
train crew didn't have time to give
chase. The engineer, however, says that
he recalls distinctly seeing an entire
train crew hiking past his cab ct two

TESTING SAFETY DEVICES.
Southern Pacific officials Trying a
Ball Bearing Axle

Southern Pacific officials are inves-
tigating a number of devices designed
to add to the safety and economy of
traffic
One of the most important of these
is a ball bearing axle for railway cars,
invented by H. Genssler of Los An
geles. There are three tiers of ball
bearings in the center of the axle, the
idea being that this will relieve the
friction of the wheels on the rails and
curves, and thus reduce the wear and
tear on rolling stock and roadbed.
Tests are also being made of the cab
signal invention of two Los Angeles
men. This provides for circuiting the
rails. so that when any arrangement
of the roadbed or rails occurs it is
electrically signa1ed to the engineer in
the engine cab
A third ingenious device is mag
netic adhesion attachment to the
driving wheels of engines, by means of
which on grades, at starting. or at any
time the rails and drivers are turned
into positive and negative magnets,
adding to the traction power of the
engine.
