CLOWNS AMUsE CROWD

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I have seen many parades, but I'll
tell you of the most interesting of all.
The street was thronged with ex
cited people, and I stood on a box
looking over the heads of the surging
crowd.
"There they comei" some one shouted
and everyone craned their necks, en-
deavoring to see past someone in front
of them.
Above the murmer of many voices 1
heard the brass band strike up a merry
tune.
First came the band arrayed in
many colored uniforms, dotted here
and there with gold lace. Next a long
file of camels shambled past us. Then
came band of clowns jumping around
and cracking jokes.
After the laughter subsided I looked
again and saw cages set on decorated
wagons. The cages were filed with
lions, jaguars, tigers, bears and other
animals. The last cage held five frisky
monkeys that kept up a constant chat
ter. This delighted the small children.
for they clapped their hands and
shouted with delight.
A long line OF acrobats, actors, strong
men and other members of the COM
pany, while clown sitting in buggy
drawn by mule brought up the rear.

MANY ANTS PARADE
WHEN MOVING HOMES
(Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
A BOUT the most interesting parade
n / have ever seen was parade of
"A ants. Last summer Mr., and Mrs
Ant seemingly thought their house too
small to accommodate their large fam
lily, for they, with many more ants,
who were probably carpenters, started
out one day to find site for new
home.
Their former home was near our
garden fence and was exposed to the
sun, but Mr. and Mrs. Ant chose the
place for their new home in the shade
of a pie plant leaf. Around this place
were many wild mushrooms, which
probably served the ants for shade
trees.
All that day the ants dug deep into
the ground making their house. By
sunset they had finished, and then
they returned to the rest of the fam
lily, in the house by the garden fence,
for their dinner. How 1 wished that
1 might be small enough for once to
explore the new residence of the
Ants!
The next day, the parade of which
write, took place. / never thought be-
fore that so many ants could possibly
live in one hole. But at about
o'clock in the morning they started to
new home. And such a long parade
as there was!
One line going toward the new home,
each member of the family carrying
a white or grayish-colored object, and
one line returning to the vacated
house for another load.
There seemed to me to be two or
three thousand ants in ALL At dis
tance they looked like a red line -on
the ground. This parade lasted until
late that afternoon. I guess they
must have finished moving by that
time, for the same performance did
not take place the next day.
Since last summer I have often
thought of the Ant parade, but have
seen nothing of the ants this year,

LIBERATORS JOIN PARADE
Strong Men Oppose Tyranny and Line
Up to Protect Weaker Men
(First Prize)
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
IN HE parade that 1 am going to
write about was not a parade
~ with the blare and trumpets and
brass bands, with bright uniforms or
gorgeous floats, with pretty girls and
flowers This parade struggled down
the street~without keeping step on its
way to the Plaza.
Stripes, and little red flags flashed all
the way down the line. There were
not many great and mighty people in
it. Crowds of people did not turn out
to look at it and there was no need of
stretching wires along the sidewalks.
There were earnest men i'll it from
many nations who had come to Amer
lea to find liberty, and the parade was
in memory of the poor Russians who
were killed when they went to ask the
car for some measure of freedom.
Many people did not understand how
important it was 1t takes most of
the people long time to catch up with
the few advanced thinkers. AS in the
case of Elijah Lovejoy, whom the peo-
pie of his time killed, and the grand
children of the people who killed him
erected a monument to his memory.
This parade and others like it over
the country saved Rudowitz and Pou-
rem from being sent back to Russia
1t saved the Mexican patriots-Magon
Riviera and Villareal from being sent
back to Mexico, but did not save them
from being put in prison.

Letters to Aunt Laurie From NepheWs and Nieces
GIVE SOLDIERS GREETING
Brave Men, Returning from War in
Cuba, Receive Ovation
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I CAN REMEMBER as in dream,
the day when our dear soldiers
n came marching home from Cuba.
We lived in Chicago. Michigan
boulevard was one of the main boule-
wards for parades About two months
or so before this grand affair occurred
great arches were built over the street
from curb to curb. These arches were
all festooned in the national colors.
Electric lights of the national colors
were strung from arch to arch till the
street was mass of lights.
The Illinois Central depot, where
the men came in, was also festooned
in the national colors. On the day of
their arrival wives, sweethearts, sis
ters, aunts, all stood with wide open
eyes to see their beloved ones return.
At II o'clock, as l remember, there
came a shrill sound of bugleS and
drums and then shouts:
Three cheers for our boys march
ing from Cuba
Some of the soldiers were carried
in stretchers, others walked with
canes or crutches and still others
walked stern and straight, as the
battle-tried veterans they were. This
was a grand parade and will long be
remembered by all those who saw it.
This is not all l saw, but it would take
many pages to write it all.
Your loving niece,
MAMIE FELDMAN.

AN INTERESTING SPECTACLE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The prettiest parade have ever seen
was during Elks' week last July. 1t
was about two and one-half miles
long. There were some very pretty
floats. The Cawston ostrich farm sent
a float. 1t was a gigantic ostrlch
plume.
Among them We're several floats rep
resenting the different nations. One OF
them represented Spain, and 1t re-
ceived first prize. 1t showed a native
hut with the Spanish cavaliers play
ing soft melodies on their mandollns
to the pretty Spanish maidens. The
Arizona float was a large copper urn
and four large gilt elks standing on
the corners. Redondo sent a large
whale. Another float from San Pedro
was a sailing vessel; its masts were
made of Shasta daisies. The postof-
flee had a few floats, showing how
many different hands a letter goes
through. There was a carriage with
the Oldest man in Los Angeles in 1t,
107 years old, and his youngest girl,
who is only years old. All of the
leading manufacturers We're represent
ed by floats decorated with the Elks
colors, purple and white.
All of the different fraternities were
represented.
Another pretty parade at the same
time was the electrical parade in the
evening. There were fifteen floats in
the parade. They represented large
snoW-white elk that shone like dia-
monds in the blaze of the electric
lights, the emblem, a clock, with the
hands pointing to the eleventh hour,
an octopus, an alligator, two girls,

CHILDREN ENJOY THEIR
OWN FLORAL PARADE
(Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
HN HE largest and greatest ,parades
1 have ever seen have been in
II Los Angeles, but I'm going to tell
about one 1 saw when l was in the
country.
The children of the village, ranging
from to 12 years old, got up the
parade. Their parents were allowed to
give suggestions, but no help.
The day of the parade was hot
August day, and as the parade ad-
vanced you could see the leader, who
was boy about 10 years old. He had
a small drum fastened over his shoul-
ders and broomstick in his hand,
which he waved when he wanted the
children to stop, and called halt"
After him came the other children,
lined according to size, forming lad
der. The little tots would wave their
hands in childish fashion and smile
if they happened to see their parents.
The little girls were covered with
flowers and were taking care of their
dollies, while the little boys were or
namented with newspaper soldier hats.
Over their shoulders they carried base
ball bats for guns.
Near the center of the line was a
boy about 8, who acted as clown. He
had an old pair of overalls stuffed with
grass and he had evidently been to
the ash pile for charcoal, as his face
was smudged with something black.
He was an expert at turning somer-
saults.
At the end of the line came the
largest boy in the parade. He was
wheeling a wheelbarrow, which held a
dear little girl. Her hair was a mass
of ringlets, her eyes were blue and
sparkling and her checks were rosy.
She was nearly buried in the flowers
and leaves which were heaped all
around her She was certainly pic

STIRRING NAVAL PARADE
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The finest parade I have ever seen
was the naval parade in Norfolk, Va.
When the feet came in they had
large parade of the sailors and Off
GERS of all the ships. Each state had
its band, then followed the sailors of
that state carrying large flag bear
ing the name of the state on it. They
also had their doctors and Red Cross
men in the parade. 1t was very long
parade and took almost all the fore
noon to pass one place. The men
drilled beautifully, all keeping in step.
This is about the incest parade I
have seen, but the Labor day parades
in Pittsburg, Pa, are also fine Every
kind of labor is represented. The
butchers sometimes have lamb in a
wagon. The steel mill laborers wear
their dark shirts and working clothes

A coWARDLY BOY
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear aunt 11durle'
After jamming and pushing my way
through a large crowd, 1 reached
street on which the parade was to
pass. In a few minutes the foremost
part of the parade was seen slowly
advancing towards us. l was watch
ing the prancing horses and the gilt
tering costumes when heard some
one exclaim in a rude tone:
Get out of the way, you little yell
low cur, or I'll show you a couple"
l turned around quickly. The per-
son who had spoken was boy about
1s. The person whom he had addressed
was a very small but healthy looking
newsboy. The little fellow didn't pay
much attention to the threat, but kept
his place in the crowd lined along the
street One of those cheap dudes that
are almost always seen but never
heard stepped up to the little fellow
and said: you little coward, why
don't you go up and slam him one be-
fore it is too late?'
