South Cardinals Mascot.

The question of what shall be the
South Cardinals mascot is being dis
cussed with considerable interest in
South Carolina. That every one has
a particular hobby is. evident, for
scarcely any two seem to have decid-
ed OH the same thing.
Idea SGD from pet rats to r%aceoons,
and a good Charlestonian says he
will be glad to give the big ship his
pet bull terrier, a beautiful little ami
NAL that knows how to growl. hn-
other suggested a South African
monkey, and still another a Maltese
cat. There is no doubt but that any
number of goats a be gotten, but
it appears that ROSTERS, geese and
rabbits are in the lead.

THE GROWING JOY.

The browning JOY is when the Ma
rine Band, dressed in scarlet coats,
which seem to vie with the gayly-
colored tulips nodding in their beds
c.ose by, strikes up a popular air and
continues to play until the time to go
home.
When the strains of "Hail to the
Chief" are heard it is the signal for
wild and enthusiastic cheering, for
all know that the Chief Magistrate OF
the Nation has come out on the
portico to watch the children. He Is
usually accompanied by his wife and
a number Of his official family. The
children are made happy by mods,
smiles and friendly recognition with
a wave of The hand.

ner' is struck up, and the children
know that their happy day is at an
end, for that is the last number
played, and is the signal to dispense.
