never tired of telling of the growth of The
Star to Its present end.d proportions,
keeping pace with the magnificent develop

to cross fields and creeks and pass through
clumps of woods to deliver Stars to the

1t was saying of Mr.. Locke that he had
devoted his life to The Star and the city
of Washington, and it was with keen pleas
ure that he told of the upbuilding of both
to those of later generations His route
was in the business center of the city,
taking in the territory between street and
Pennsylvania avenue, 9th and 18th streets.
That brought him into frequent contact
with the substantial business men of the
District, with whom he was deservedly pop
ular.
1t was one of his most pleasurable recol-
lecuons that he entered the service of The
Star at the time Mr.. Crosby s. Noyes first
became connected with this newspaper, and
his mind, which was active to the last was
stored with "reminiscences of the early days
OF The Star and It's pioneer managers.
Mr.. Locke stood high in the Masonic
fraternity. He was deputy grand master OF
the Grand Lodge of the District of Column
6ia IN 1865, past grand high priest of the
Grand Chapter, and for twenty-five wears
was visitor and lecturer of the Grand Lodge,
serving as such Until his health began to

the office. He was also a member of Co.

end OF the game to get in at this
spot. Now, the throat and adioin-

The Return of the lobster.

For several years lobster lovers
have eaten their favorite dish with
added zest because of their belief
that it was becoming scarcer and
scarcer and might soon vanish into
that realm of the favored few where
alone the real terrapin Is still to be
found.
For twenty years the lobster catch
had been gradually decreasing, and
for all that time the demand for lob
sters had been increasing. Already
the point had been reached at which
the strain between demand and sup
ply had become painful.
But the day OF good news has
come. The lobster is coming back.
He has welcomed the encouragement
of the United States bureau of fisher
les and Is doing all that can be ex-
pected of him to make himself nu-
merously palable.
This year the bureau will put back
into the pure waters of the coast OF
Maine 100000 young Holsters.

Practically all children, in fact,

evidence of enjoyment of the game,

ly. Hence, one may say that there
exists distinct appetite for tickling:
and this upon close investigation
proves to be as marked and real as
any of the recognized animal appe-
tltes (all OF which, by the way, have
an immediate bearing on the con-
tinuance of the individual or the
race); and, moreover, has this in
common with them, viz, that there
are times when desire Is strong and
qualification great, and there are
dimes when desire is absent and pro-
vocation fails to take effect. Like
the rehexes associated with the
gustatory nerve, which make part of
the appetite for food, the activity OF
which depends upon whether we are
hungry for the reverse, the reflexes
that accompany tickllshness are In
termittent. -
Pursue the game vigorously, and
our little playmate throws himself
down on his back, and fences with
his limbs to protect the more ticklish
parts. When one is dealing with an
activeayoungster, so much address Is
shown in these defensive tactics that

gions as the neck, the armpits, or the
groin. Many little children will

The most "ticklish" parts of the
body In every animal, the writer says,
are those that most need defense,
depending somewhat on the particu-
lar methods of fighting adopted by
the creature. We read;
