GOOD DOG SAVES BAD BOY
Epigrams Enliven Address of District
Superintendent of Schools to
Teachers.

Many bad boy has been saved by
a good dog. 1t is a good thing to
bring these opposites together.
Tens of thousands of back yards in
Chicago are going to waste, and many
boys are going to waste with them The
public doesn't realize the possibili-
ties for good or evil in a back yard.
II wouldn't have a stuffed bird in a
schoolhouse or on a woman's hat"
These epigrams by Orville T. Bright.
district superintendent of schools of
Chicago. enlivened an address which
Mr.. Bright delivered before the public
school principals the other day.
The lecture was illustrated by ex-
ceptionally fine stereopticon views
of birds and boys. used to emphasize
Mr.. Bright's theory that the boys
should help to save their birds because
the birds help to save the boys.
After he had thrown upon the can
vas a picture of a beautifully colored
bird photographed as it perched on a
bit of shrubbery in a school yard Mr..
Bright said:
When these plants, flowers, shrubs

then we will be able to put into prac.
tice the principles of the right treat.
ment of our dumb animals as pre-.
| scribed by the laws of the state.
This business of stufHng dead birds
| for the purpose of making women
more attractive to men is a nefarious
one. The women's hats are no places
| for the birds which once have cheered
| the world with their beauty and their
singing"
Mr. Bright showed the picture of a
rear yard which had been transforme ed
| into veritable garden.
There is a picture l like" he said
Il know positively that that back
yard has done more for boys than any
other one exhibit | can offer. Amid
the flowers and shrubbery there you
will find holes dug by the boys. They
make the picture more attractive. Dig

harmless pleasure as we can Offer

WHERE POST CARDS STARTED
Mania for Pictorial Pasteboard First
Arose in Switzerland, Twelve
Years Ago.

1t was in Switzerland that the ma
MIA for pictorial postcards first arose,
and all can we'll remember the as
tonishment evoked some dozen years
ago at seeing at the Theodule Hut the
excitement of party of Germans up
on their ascertaining that they could
dispatch thence, via Italy, a sheaf of
views of the Matterhorn, says the Lon
don Globe. If one may judge from the
very interesting collection of old AL
pine prints now on view at the Alpine
club, Saville Row, our ancestors were
also eager to carry away souvenirs of
scenes unlike any to which they were
accustomed and of which the ter
rors and dangers were doubtless un-
exaggerated. And to the Swiss, who
were among the earliest to exploit col
ored engrayings. provided them with
material with sufficient spice of ex-
aggeration to satisfy those who stayed
at home. These they dedicated to the
"amateurs of the marvels of nature
and for them they crowded into a
single landscape dozen Staubbachs,
and any number of aiguilles and gla-
ciers, with artists portraying them
and peasants holding festival beneath
them.

1t usually results in an early and
prolific crop of lambs.

that the ewes should be removed to

The chief feature of this remarkable
type of machine is the cheapness with
which 1t can be built and the lack of
vibration that results from the use of
large wheels. The seat for the driver
and passengers rests just over the

AS to the date of mating. It varies

breeds are not mated until October or
November. For show purposes ewes
are generally mated three weeks ear

to the models at first. but Howard
stuck to his work, devoting most of
his time to his dirigible. the problem
he started to solve long before air
ships were seriously discussed in this
country or Europe.
Howard has been an inmate of the
prison since March. 1907, following his
conviction for robbing the residence
of e. T. Swobe. manager OF the Ma
tional Fidelity Company of Omaha
Before his conviction he invented a
cigar-making machine which he sold
to he American Tobacco Company
for $1,000.
A mail box lock. invented by him
had been favorably reported by the
government. Locks had played an
important part in Howard's troubles
and successes. The charge of his
picking one and entering the Swobe
residence and making away with
several hundred dollars worth OF
silverware. led to his being sent to
prison.

MAKING A HOT AIR BALLOON
Detailed Instructions Given by A. Leo
Stevens, the Aeronaut, for Bene-
fit Of Boys.

Any boy who will follow the instruc-
dons of A. Leo Stevens, the aeronaut,
can build hot air balloon with a
lifting capacity of three pounds, says
Detroit Free Press. Some time ago
Mr.. Stevens constructed a miniature
aircraft of this type for the amuse-
ment of some boys at Chautauqua lake.
which scared to an altitude of 1000
feet and drifted a mile across the
swamps. finally landing in the
branches of tree.
A balloon of this type when inflated
stands IL feet high. but in reality is
IS feet long. the difference being ex-
planned by the curve. The bag is cut
in IA parts; each part is IS feet in
length, two feet in width at the widest
point and tapers to a point at the top
and to a width of five inches at the
lower end. which forms the mouth.
The parts may be cut from a stiff
grade of tissue paper. first pasted in
long sheets and then cut out after a
pattern. The segmeDts are pasted to-
gether with lap of about two inches.
After the process of joining has
been completed the point at the top
should be wrapped with long linen
thread and a loop formed through
which nail driven in the end of a
stick is passed while the balloon is
being inflated.
The mouth is shaped with wire and
to Wake it more secure crosspieces
are inserted. The three wires about
ten inches in length at the other end
are caught to hook for adjusting the
basket.
An ordinary fruit basket without
handle will serve the purpose. AT

ed out by Representative Poindexter
OF Washington and others as the log

Representative Poindexter who is

This initial reform which we have
accomplished must be followed by 9TH

house finds itself is caused by the
joining of the power OF the speaker
with that of the leader OF the majority.
THE English plan of having an ex-
pert parliamentarian instead of a poll
tician as presiding officer is the only
correct one. AS long as we select a
party leader as speaker. Just so long
will we have partisan and unfair ru-
lings from the chair.
