SHUT YOUR ASH PAN

The dicfatorial legend has flashed across your window and has set your wits into puzzle. What is the signifi- canoe of an order so utterly foreign to one's knowledge of his personal anat- omy? &

Boards of education in several western states are now requiring that every pu- pil that enters high school must be able to repeat the words of one of our na- tional songs
 It is required that pupils should know by heart such songs as America" or Hail Columbia" or "rhe Star Spangled Banner"

and then he seemed assured that the
woman would do his master no harm.
For time they talked the man in
the canoe and the, maiden on the
messy bank where the brook came
down. He asked whose hunting
ground lay along this enhancing
shore, and she said it was claimed by
her father, Meniseno, an Ojibway
Il am an Algonquin" said he. Let
us be friends. | want to make my
lodge here by this beautiful stream
that / may drink and drink and drink
for my spirit is on fire and my throat
aflame."
Alas" sighed Weiga, my father
is very old and very jealous of his
claim; fear he will not let you live
here"
Il do not ask to be allowed to live
here" said he. II only desire to die
here, hearing the song of that cool
stream-and" he added, devouring the
maiden with his hungry eyes, the mu-
sic of your voice"
The Algonquin, without awaiting an
invitation, signalled to Weiga. She
drew near and held out hand, which
he grasped as he stepped ashore. With
simple confidence he asked her to
take him up on the bank and help him
to find a camping-place near the
stream. Again she held out her hand,
and again he grasped 1t. But when
he had gotten to his feet he did not
release her hand, as he had done be-
fore, but held it and locked earnestly
into the face of the Ojibway, owning
a vague feeling of peace and happiness
altogether new to him.
On the following day when Menise
no stumbled Unexpectedly upon the
Algonquin's lodge he was obviously
offended. Knowing this would be so,
Weiga had not apprsed her father of
the coming of the stranger, for If he
was jealous of his hunting-ground he
was jealous of his handsome, in
dustrious, and well-behaved daughter.
Meniseno coldly asked the Algon-
cuin why he had come to disturb the
peace of an old man, and told him
plainly he would not be allowed to live
where he had made his camp.
The Algonquin's answer was the
same as he had given Weiga-he had
come not to live, but to die. He had
pitched his poor tent there so that
when death, who was now very near,
should come to him, he might not die
utterly alone.
At first the old Indian seemed to ac
cept this simple statement, but when,
a few days later, he found his daugh-
ter caring for the young man, he few
inc a great passion and ordered the
Algonquin out of the country. BY this
time, however, the Indian was too Ill
to travel, and SO he needed not the

felt he had made & very bad showing
indeed before her eyes, and his spirits
fell. The second round was worse,
MoXie being punished numerically.
"Ah, yer no good Moxie," said the
crowd frankly. Put him out, Greeny!"
All thumbs were down. Painting and
grasping. Moxie sought his corner, to
find that his seconds had deserted
him, their loyalty being borne down
by the weight of adverse public opin-
ion.
Third round! Time!" yelled the
referee.
Moxie walked slowly from his
corner, and Greeny promptly knocked
him down. The crowd yelled in de-
rision. Slowly he got to his feet. For
the first time he glanced towards the
Girl. She was standing by her chair,
now, and her eyes were blazing with
excitement. AS she caught Moxie's
despairing glance she called to him.
Don't let him beat you, ,Moxie!"
she cried in a shrill voice, very
feminine amid the shouts of the
crowd
What happened to Moxie can only
be guessed at, but all know just what
happened to Greeny. Moxie became
a tiger whelp in an instant. He
sprang at Greeny and smothered him
with blows that came too hard and
with too great recklessness to be
either parted or returned. Moxie's
face was white TO the lips, and his
eyes had the CLINT of steel. Greeny
fought back in desperate astonish-
ment but Moxie never felt any blows
when they did land. Yell after yell
went up from the frenzied crowd
around the ropes. A sudden panic
came over Greeny. Bewildered, help
less to stop this sudden, mad rage Of
an opponent he had counted beaten,
blinded by the ceaseless blows, he
threw his arms over his face, turned,
and ran to his corner, the referee fol-
lowing hastily to pull Moxie off from
him. The referee led Moxie to the
middle of the ring.

glad little "Hurrah!" from the place
where the Girl had sat. Moxie pushed
his way in that direction through the
boys that swarmed around him, pull
ing off his gloves as he went. She
was standing there yet, holding out a
soft white hand.

livery clerk, but Moxie went by him

THETHIRD
ROUND

1t was not quite time for Moxie
Shoeshine to struggle with the other
boys in the basement delivery-room
of the Gazette building for his bundle
OF afternoon papers, so he sat on
the curb and watched the girl who
was taking stock quotations from the
ticker in the composing-room, the win
dow being open. He hoped she might
again nod smilingly at him, in which
event, possibly, he might get up cour-
age to ask her.
'She amt goin' to come, though"
he thought, despondently.
So he got up slowly and was one
of the last to get his papers, which
was not Moxies habit. AS usual, 1t
was late at night when he crept into
the dirty court where he lived rather
peaceably just now, his mother having
been somewhat subdued by a recent
term in the House of Correction his
sister being up" as an "habitual,"
and his brothers and sisters having
come under the fostering care of

morning hour that he might spend
the more time sitting on the curb
and watched the Girl, who in smiling
at him had fed hungry little heart
without realizing her bounty
That morning he was again i'm
pressed with the Wilderness of her
collar, the beauty of her eyes, and
the glory of her hair, his intimate
knowledge of hair and eyes and
gowns being gathered from the in
cessant red of his mothers eyes, her
matted hair, and her greasy Mother
Hubbard But he resolutely refrained
from thinking of his mother when
he was near this girl, lest it be sacri-
legious to the Girl. He frankly hated
his mother and wished she was dead.

SHILLING WATERS WITH OIL.
Not Poured from Barrel Into Ocean
as Supposed, But Placed in Bags
at Ships Sides.

When the captain of a wave-beat-
en- ship pours oil upon the waters he
does not empty a barrel of kerosene
over the side. He stitches up three
or four cotton bags, which he fills
with oakum and then with oil, usually
equal parts of fish oil and kerosene.
The bags are then tied tightly at the
tops and pricked all over with sail
needle to permit the oil to eXude, and
are hung from the boat davits and
weather chains TO drop their mollify-
ing contents on the raging pillows.
The bags must not be allowed to get
empty, but must be refilled every two
hours. For six bags ten gallons of oil
are used in thirty hours. Sometimes,
if it is very cold, the oil congeals and
will not run out through the holes fast
enough, and the mouth of the bag is
then loosened to let it escape in that
way. It's effect is magical on rough
sea. A huge comber will rise threat
eningly to bury the laboring vessel
under tons of water, but will strike a
patch of oil no larger than common
dining table and subside in an in
slant into a smooth, round swell,
which the ship rides like a cork.
The use of oil is also a valuable
aid in wearing ship in a gale and
high sea. A few gallons of paint oil
over the lee quarter enables the ves-
sci to perform the maneuyer in per-
feet safety without taking drop of
water on board. When boat ships
so much water that it is impossible to
get the oil bags slung into position
without running the risk OF being
swept overheard, an ordinary bed
sheet saturated with paint oil, tied
to rope and allowed to float, will
soon calm the seas sufficiently to per-
NIT men to move about the decks safe
ly. Paint oil. is agreed to be the best
to use. rapa-seed oil and porpoise
rank next, but kerosene is not salts

When he looked at the Girl, Moxie
realized vaguely that he, himself, was
not quite worthy to gaze at her. He
knew that he swore, lied, stole,
smoked cigarettes. and got drunk
readily enough when the chance Of
fered; and he admitted to himself that
these things could not be easily ex-
cused in a boy who was fully eleven
years old
This morning the Girl, looking idly
out the window, saw once more a
sandy-haired, ugly little gamin, with
the face of an old man, and she smiled
frankly at him, not realizing how
much it meant to him, but being just
happy herself. At that Moxie came
across the street and called up to her
through the open window:
Say, dey's goin' to be good scrap
go fer papes dis mornin'," he said,
earnestly. I'm goin' to put on de
mits wild Greeny Ike, and fight him
tree rounds fer de eighty-pound cham
peenship. We pulls off de fight at ten,
before de first edition is out. Would
youse like to come down and see de
scrap? De udder fellers bigger'n me,
but maybe | kin lick him"
"All right" the Girl called back,
laughingly, I'll come down."
The ring was roped off by tying
stout packng-cord from post to post,
and Moxie was already in his corner
when the Girl came in, to be given a
seat of honor by the young man who
wrote the bulletins. Moxie was
promptly seized with stage-fright at
the sight of her so near him. Greeny
Ike in the other corner looked as big
as a house. but Moxie walked bravely
over to shake hands with him at the
order of the referee. He backed into
his corner again, not daring to turn
around for fear he might catch her
eye.
"Time!" yelled the referee.
Moxie desperately shot out his thin
arm and landed a smart blow on
Greenys eye. There was no particu-
I lar science about it, Greeny valiantly
accepting the blow SO as not to delay
getting in a smash himself The crowd
yelled impartially as the blows fell
punch him, Greeny!" yelled a par
tisan.
Swing your right, Moxie!" advised
Moxie supporter.
Jolt him in the jaw!" suggested
another eagerly.
Moxie ducked and danced, tented
and led, but his opponent did all
these harder. When time was called
