How Gordon Punished Himself

"Twenty-Three" and "Skidoo."

From the North American Review.
The use of slang by boys finds some ex-
cuse in unavoida BILE. association with unre-
fined men: its by girls is simply odous
and a direct reflection upon the attention
and taste of their mothers This is easily
proven by inquiry into the sources of the
petted phrases. Take, for example. two Of
the latest-"Twenty-th and "Skidoo."
These have slightly different meanings. the
exact Interpretation of the former being Ito
the rear, and of the latter "scamper or
flee in haste" The former had its origin
at the race track, which ordinarily has only
sufficient width to accommodate twenty
two horses standing side by side. so that
the twenty-third is necessarily relegated to
an unfavorable position. The use OF the
coined phrase therefore implies knowl-
edge of details of professional sport, the
possession of which by a young girl is dis
tinctly unbecOming. The second is a mere
substitute for 'skedaddle,'' itself of Amer-
can origin and now regarded by common
assent as egregiously vulgar. Scores of
like illustrations might be put in evidence:
but these should suffice to convince
mother, teacher or even a comparatively
ignorant girl herself of the desirability Of
seeking the roots of terms whose use she
has come to regard as an evidence of smart
ness.

A True Nonsense Story
Of a Snow Man
BY JAMES DOVER.

The Snow Man was cold. but not so cold
as he wanted to be. All the day tears had
been running out of his coal black eyes
because the sun had been trying TO thaw
out his icy heart. Now it was night, and
everything was colder; the trees shook and
the stars shvered. and the wind sobbed
and blew on his long fingers, which were
blue with the cold. The Snow Man felt
better. The tears that had fallen during
the day We're frozen on his breast making
a nice shiny white shirt front, so he felt
quite Ike a dandy. He winked one coal
black eve at the biggest most shivery star.
Then great resolve was formed in his
cold heart.
ITS a fine night; I believe I'll take
a walk I'll go up to the North Pole and
back" lie turned his round, white. bald
head in every direction to see if any one
was looking; then he gently hoisted one
stout leg. then the other, and started off
some what clumsily in the direction of the
Pole Star.
He walked softly, to disturb no one
in the house. but Towser was sleeping with
his head at the door of his kennel and
with one eye open. He jumped up as the
Snow Man passed his house and howled.
"IIush mp. Towser. or T1ll fall you,"
said the Snow Man, coldly.

Here the Snow Man stopped. Then ALI
the other snow men stopped.

1t was great fun to watch them chasing
each other around their clumsy legs.
When they were tired OF tag they all

They had borrowed a frozen handkerchief
from a clothesine.
Then they found that they were getting
too warm, so they all sat down on the
bank OF a frozen river to cool off. But
those who had gotten the warmest froze
there and had to stay. The rest went
on until they came 10 an immense forest

a pine princess, who lives there still. and
spends all her time sewing frs with pine
needles; as the pine needles haven't any
eyes and so cannot be threaded, the prin
cess sews and sews and never gets the frs
sewn together
The princess was very much surprised to
such army of snow men pouring
into her palace from all directions, but she
was very polite, and invited them to stay
to dinner. For dinner they had snow pud
ding, snow apples. iced tea and icicles.
At dinner the princess who very
good-natured, said: IF there is anything
you wish to ask of me l will grant it,
So the Snow Man thanked her and said,
please send word to the children who
roll us up and stand UP in back yards that
we are lonely and want snow wives and
snow children and snow houses to live in"
The princess said she would and then,

Just One Day.
BY JESSIE PAXTON.

This has been such beautiful beautiful day,
And 1 happy tonight.
This morning I woke when the man in the moon
Was stealing away out of sight,
A making such faces and looking so pale
SO terribly washed out and white,
That Just had to laugh at his poor. faded grin
Though he seemed In pitiful plight
For l felt very when he'd had days rest
He'd appear quite saucy and bright.
When breakfast was over l went for a walk
Way off to the end of the world
l couldn't see single bit of our house,
'Cept the smoke fairies, twisted and curIed,
And flying so high that knew 'twould be fine,
For that is sure sign, they say,
II the smoke goes straight up to the top OF the sky
No storm clouds will dare come to stay.
The earth smelled good that it really just seemed
That the flowers still hid under ground,
Were sending up messages perfumed ana sweet,
To say that they could be found.
/ did truly see quite bit Of green grass
And | heard such beautiful sound.
Do you think twas a robin? didn't qnite know
Whether they could be coming around.
I went hunting for pebhles-I play they gold
And rubies and emeralds and pearls
And play I'm fairy with oceans Of wealth
To shower poor little girls.

With yellow shavings for curls
It's nice playing fairy and making folks glad
Some time. when I'm grown up. III be
A real, truly fairy, with real, truly gold

And haven't thought over one-haif OF the things

OPPORTUNITIES Galore for Boys.

From the Chillcothe (Mo) Tribune.
The boy of today has little to fear that
the field is becoming overcrowded in our
own country 1t is just being opened 1t
is for the young men who are just begin
ming to think what a wonderful world this
is. to study well the achievements of the
past and to see in what manner they are
to be improved. Never did the world call
more loudly, more persistently, for young
men with force, energy and purpose-young
men to do something-than today. And ev-
ery year that cry grows louder. more in
sjstent But the times demand men of
large, liberal, energetic minds and the
man who insists on doing business in the
old-fashoned hum drum way is as much
behind the procession as Is the man who
insists on travelling with an OK team in
stead of by railway.

No Umbrellas for Soldiers.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The rain fell in torrents on the soldiers
tramping sturdily down the muddy street.
why don't they put up their umbrellas?'
said spectator.
With sheer an elderly man replied:
Don't you know, sir, that soldiers never
carry umbrellas? History records just one
instance of their having done so. 1t was In
an engagement of the civil war; and a
group of officers were holding up umbrellas
to shield themselves from a thunderstorm
when Gen. Grant passed.
THE general frowned at the sight and
sent an aid to the officers with this historic
message:
81 do not approve of the use of UNI
brellas in war, and will not allow any of
my soldiers to make themselves ridiculous
in the eyes of the enemy.
Since that time ended the old man, no
soldier has ever dared to protect his uni
form with the effeminate umbrella"

The Snow Man quickened his step, and
walked over the smooth crusted fields quite
swiftly AS he passed a house he saw
another snow man standing in the yard,
and he whstled TO him
Come for a walk" he called softly.
The other snow man pulled up his legs,
and stared after him. They walked on
together and wherever they found other
snow men, they invited them TO Join In
their walk. until at last, there was reg
ular procession of one thousand snow men,
all marching toward the North Pole. Some
were large, and some were small, some
