"Hip! Hip! Hurrah!"

Hip! Hip! Hurrah!" is the mod
vrn phrase. The hip" and "hur-
rah!" do not seem to have come to-
getner before the nineteenth century
In the eighteenth century "hip!"
amounted to just chi" or "hullo!
while "hurrah" was then usually hug
za!" 1t is like the Cossack shout
"ora!" but it is supposed to nave been
a German cry of the chase, adapted
by the German soldiers to war, and
borrowed from them by the English.
perhaps first of all at the time Of
the thirty years war; "hursa!" is
said to have beens the battle cry OF
the Prussians in the war Of liberia,
ton (1812-1813), Still, the curious
fact that seventeenth and eighteenth
century writers call "huzzal" sail.

lecture that It may really have been
the hosting cry, "hissa! "-Kansaa

mind, and then she struck her man.
ma. Only think of it.
Mamma looked at her little daugher
sadly. You must go in the closet
and stay there until you can be a
good girl" said she
Then Edna began to cry as loud
as she could cry, but she took her
little cricket and went into the closet
just the same, 1t was a dark closet
when the door was shut, but mamma
didn't quite shut the door Edna kept
on crying, however.
MY child said mamma, pretty
soon, Il want you to be more quiet"
Naughty Edna cried all the louder.
Didn't you hear me-" said mamma.
Il want you to stop crying this min
ute" But Edna didn't pay the least
bit of attention. She went on crying
even louder yet, if such thing were
possible. Mamma hardly knew what
to think, because, You see. Edna is
usually a very good little girl
Then mamma began to count slow
~. "One two. three, four
But before she got to ten something
funny happened The old gray kitty,
which had all this time been lying
quietly before the fire, suddenly
jumped UP and walked straight into
the closet She caught Edna's wrist
between her fur paws and bit and
scratched it-not very hard, of course,
but quite hard enough to surprise and
brighten the little girl into keeping as
still as a mouse for as much as a
minute. Then the old kitty walked
back to the mat before the fire and
curled herself down for another nap,
and not until then did Edna find her
voice again.

Very well,o said mamma. trying
hard not to smile. you may come
out"
So out of the closet the little girl
came and rushed straight into mann
mas arms
II will be good, she sobbed
again "but-but 1 don't want that old
cat bossing me round all the time,

Mamma laughed then. she couldn't
help it.

Bobby the Bat.

Did you ever hear the story of Bob
by the Bat?
Bobby lived in a barn, which is. of
course the proper place for bats to
live in. 1t was rather slow, though,
because all well-bred bats sleep most
of their time, and he felt quite wide
awake And when your relations are
sleep and you are very much awake it
is awkward
Grandfather Bat would remark: cts
so much more dignifed to rest on ones
laurels than to go gadding about"
But where are the laurels?" said
Bobby; for there was no sign of them
in the barn.
Tut tut! child" said Grandfather
Bat and went off to sleep again, snor-
ing like one o'clock.
4 shall go out and see the world"
cried Bobby, impatiently.
TITS a wicked place, said Grand
mother Bat. But Bobby thought he
should like to find out for himself, and
try his lovely black wings; so off he
fed when twilight fell, for bats always
fly at night
Finding farmhouse window open
he flew into a room where some chill
dren were playing, 'for surely" he said
to himself, this must be the world"
But Bobby was not prepared for the
piercing screams that greeted him,
and wondered what had happened
Whatever is the matter, children?"
cried lady, running into the room.
"Oh! mother! such a horrible-look-
ing creature" said one of the children;
there in the curtain. Look"
There is nothing horrible about a
bat" said their mother. They are
inoffensive little animals; and this one
has flown in byNmistake."
Let's kill it, said one of the boys.

You are not to do anything Of the
kind" said their mother; and she cap
tured poor Bobby, who was trembling
with fright and trying to bite her and
gently babe the children come and
look at him.
Why, it's like a mouse with wings"
they cried.
Yes, I daresay it roosts in the
barn" And so saying she took Bobby
to the window and put him out He
was not long flying home.
"0h. grandfather. I've seen the
world" cried Bobby and it's not so
wicked after all.
Much good may it do you growled
Grandmother Bat Thank your stars
you got back alive
But they said I was an inoffensive
little animal" said Bobby.
That's not much of a compliment"
grumbled Grandfather Bat. who just
then woke up

Bat, so now you had better 90 to bye

So Bobby, like an obedient bat did

i know an old man who has had
great deal of trouble and many losses
and miSfortunes, but he started out in

~ct in dissipation, but in wholesome
recreation and fun. He has always
sried TO see the humorous side of
things, the bright side and the duty of
happiness.
The result is that, although this man
has had more than his share of sorrow
in his career, he has developed the in
estimable faculty of making the best
of every situation and of always fac
ing the sun and turning his back to the
shadows. This life habit of cheerful
ness and optimism has brought out
sweetness of character and q poiSe and
serenity Of mind which are the envy
of all who know him. Although he has
lost his property and the most of his
family and relatives. yet he radiates
sunshine and helpfulness wherever he
goes. ----.-.-

INDECENT
POSTAL CARDS
Miami Postmaster Confis-
Gated Many of Them
Last Week.

The Miami Metropolis says: Over
fifty postal cards, those of the Senu-
mental, comic and dazzling kind and
considered vulgar and indecent by the
postal authorities, were held up here
last week by Postmaster H. c. Bulge
and forwarded to the proper authori'
ties in Washington. a number OF
these cards were indecent in the eX-
IRENE and in strict violation OF the
postal laws.
The postal authorities have sem
out notices several times regarding
this class of postal cards. The same
notice also applies to cards with
little mica prinkled on the backs
The mica on the cards 1t is contend
ed is liable to injure the fingers OF
the clerks in handling them, and de,
face important mail matter, but still
dealers of Miami ana other places
persist in selling them.
Very few of the mica cards and
those considered indecent by the au
thorities, however, are sold here, and
consequently the local postal officials
have very little trouble considering
that Miami is a resort town The ma
jority of cards used by visitors are
those of local views and scenes, not
containing mica and being admissible
to the mails.
1t is said that the postal authorities
are firing of warning against the
sending of all indecent and danger
Gus matters through the mails, and
if the practice of attempting it is not
stopped. it is likely that all comic
or view cards will be suppressed.
