Is ii fun?
Just try it. and you'll have more pure
joy in getting back 10 childish FRANKS
than your cut and dried mature system
believed could be possible.
'SlIdin' down the banisters always
was and always will be one Of the chief
joys of childhood. and not few grown
ups have envied the happy youngsters
scooting past them on the stair rail at
home, so it does not require far stretch
ing of the imagination TO picture the I'M
alloyed bliss with which the children
(both adult and juvenile) tumble into the
'Catapuit at the Midway. 1t is better
than any balustrade ever thought of be-
ing, because il is Just a long trough,
smooth as the cabinetmaker's skill and
beeswaX can make it, so there is no such
thing as falling off And tunnel at the
bottom adds its share TO the sensations
which accompany the long, swift tobog-

Just Kids Once More.
Is it any wonder the folks who help to
make this old world go round can
promptly forget all of their troubles in

Body Found in Canal.

About twenty feet from the little house
the body was located. It was In the ca
nal and evidently not far from where the
young man jumped overheard. The mem
bers Of the crew returned to the river
front at the foot of 7th street and turned
the body over to the superintendent Of
the morgue.
1t is stated that the young man cut his
hand while opening a can of tomatoes
some time ago and had experienced
considerable trouble with the injury His
hand had been operated upon, the police
were told, but 1t did not seem to get much
better, Lashhorn thought, and he feared
blood poisoning would follow.
Friends say that he worried so much
about his hand that he had become mel
ancholy, although he had never said any
thing to suggest that he contemplated
taking his life.
1t is thought that Lashhorn ended his
life about noon, although it was not until
some time after the noon hour that the
coat and hat We're found. James p Brig
ham of 412 I'd street southwest saw the
young man walking along the wall as
early as IL o'clock in the morning, and
while the presence of We stranger attracted
his attention, he did not have the slight
est idea that he. was contemplating sui
eide.
Coroner hewitt was told of the finding OF
the note and the subsequent recovery of
the body. He gave permission for the re-
moval of the body to Wright's undertake
ing establishment, 1887 10th street. and
will give certificate of death today in ac-
cordance with the facts.

The first that was known of the drown

Henry Lee. employed at the War Col

from the boiler room in which they were
working. In one of the pockets OF the

between the Ruckford and Yarrow
boys. In fact the Terrible Terriers"
was a name resulting from certain VIC
tories achieved by these boys of Ruck-
ford over the Yarrowites on SO many
occasions. The Ruckford boys had had
full possession of this natural blue
clay slide, which adorned one side Of
Pickles hill, the Yarrow boys seeming
to have quite abandoned it of late.
What joy it was, whizzing down like
a flash on their little wooden sleds.
Quite as blissful as tobogganing on
( the snow and this latter was thing
that most Of them had only read Of
But to return to our story. Our
young friend, Tony, much to the con-
Germ of his erstwhfle foe, Mr.. Herman
Shredder, sprained his ankle so badly
in descending rickety pair of stairs
at the back Of the mill that he was
unable to start off with the boys and
so had to be left behind with Her
man. who promised to take good care
of him.
Off they went at a run for the fa-
nous blue slide and it was but very
short time before they had covered
the half mile along the Silver creek
trail. Two of the older boys, Dick
Whalen and Danny Sparks, were sent
ahead to act as scouts. AS they drew
near they could hear subdued voices

could make out small camp fire that
had been allowed to burn quite low
That was all they waited to see. Hur-
rying back to their companions they
divided into four squads and ap-
preached the bottom of the slide from
different directions. They moved so
stealthily that they scarcely made a
sound.
Now they could make out boys fig
ures as they sat huddled about the
fire. When they had drawn within
100 yards of them Mark gave the word
charge" With a shout of triumph
the Yarrow boys sprang forward and
closed in on the Terrible Terriers"
about dozen, who did their level best
to escape. The Yarrow boys proved
more than match for them and sue
ceeded after a very short scuffie in
making each Terrible Terrier" a hard
and fast prisoner. After binding them
hand and foot they carried them up to
the fire, which had been replenished
with more fuel and was now cracking
merrily and laid them down, telling
them that they would be called for
when wanted. The Ruckford bows
stubbornly refused to say anything
about what they had done with the
Yarrow captives. Max Seeley, the
hardest nut to crack of all the Ter
rible Terriers" that Mark and his
all manner Of future disaster for the
devoted Yarrowites. "At any rate you
kids didn't get Beetles-hes too smart
for you and that young Mark Thorpe
of yours-my! you ought to have seen
Mark cutting 1T down the road" Max's
good nature returned at the remem-
brance of Marks legs scudding along
In the moonlight and he laughed OUT
right as he tossed back his head in
merriment.
Mark and his crew did not wait to
hear any more chaff from the banter
ing though fallen Max, but started Off
again to seek their friends. About 100
yards from the foot of the blue slide
was dense brush of thimble berry
shrubbery oyergrown by wild black
berries. Leaving few of the bows
behind to watch over Max Seeley ana
his Terriers" Mark continued with a
run toward the thimble berry patch.
