Telling stories to children.

American children stand in need
Of a more delicate sense of humor.
according 70 Miss Marie l.. Shedlock,
the professional story teller. Eng
fish children are far ahead Of Ameri-
cans in this respect, Miss shedlock
said yesterday In the course of what
she called a STORY talk" given at
Normal college for the benefit OF
Alumnae Settlement.
at was a great Joy to me-" said
Miss Shedlock during the three
months recently spent in England,
to feel | should never gaze upon one
of your Sunday papers. | cannot but
feel that the English child would
lose something OF his delicate sense
of humor II he were fed on jokes that
depend for their fun on trieking some
one older. speak as humorist, not
as moralist."
Stories, Miss shedlock told her
large audience, are to the child what
novels are to the adult-an escape
from the commonplace. The first OBJ
iect in story telling should be TO give
great dramatic Joy to children, but
the second should be to appeal to
their imagination.
THAT has come to be almost a
trite phrase" said the STORY teller.
''but there never was time or a
country that needed appeals to the
Imagination more than this. We have
been ringing the knell Of the imagi-
nation. n only we wouldn't drag
children out into the bright light of
explanation, but would let them stay
in the twilight Of mystery
Miss Shedlock warned the teachers
before her against the unitarian
story" where the newsboy becomes
the millionaire. "And don't" she
implored, Ego at story telling like
amateurs. II takes great many
years of study to become good story
teller. Never, never tell a story to
children that you have prepared on
the cars that morning. Only" she
added, laughing. 81 don't believe the

DANISH THE WHITE LIGHT.
Greater Safety in Green for CLEAR
Track signal.

The white light as night signal
of clear track is being banished from
the Erie railroad as unscientific in
principle, and practically all of the
system as far east as the Rochester
division has now been equipped with
new code of lights. which makes
green, instead of white. read clear. F."
and yellow, instead Of green, read
caution" says the New York Times.
The red lenses in the low or dwarf
signals, which mean stop" have
been changed to violet. not because
OF the teaching of scientists that this
color acts more powerfully on the
color-sensitive nerves than straight
red, but simply to distinguish the
stop signals on the through tracks
from the multitudinous red signals at
the interlocking points in the switch
ing yards. White as a signal light
has been doomed, because It Is no
color at all, and every danger and
precautionary signal on railroad is
potential source of disaster from
the fact that it becomes clear"
signal at once should anything hap
pen to the lens of colored glass. This
danger is avoided by the adoption of
green as the "clear" signal, for If
either alviolet or green lens is broken
the yellow light of the unscreened
lamp in the signal lantern would
spell caution to the approaching en-
gineer. Even IL the lantern should
be burning bright enough to appear
white. the clear light would give no.
tice that something was wrong.
Another count which the engine
drivers have held up against the
white light is the .ever-present dam
ger of installing some chance night
light beside the track for a signal
that all is clear Green lights are
scarce. away from the police sta
tions.

Bill Thornton was pitching for us,

score was 5 to 3 in their favor when

make any difference, we didn't want
the story to get around that we had

"That team had third baseman

got everything that came near him.

II walloped the ball straight at
the third baseman, and the game
seemed over. so threw down my bat
In disgust and started TO jog to first.
I heard the crowd yelling and, look

out TO the left and the third baseman
tearing across the field as hard as he
could run.
TWO runs scored and we won the
game. We found out afterwards that
the third baseman had a hal.ueina-

that he must implore mercy for the
misguided perpetrator.
Every piece OF the bomb that
could be found was carefully exam

of large tin box bound tightly with
wire. 1t must have contained two
pounds OF gunpowder aud three
pounds Of nails. The nails were OF
three sizes. some seven inches long.
so heavy that the explosion threw
them but a short distance. The nails
were wrapped in Newspapers dated
