After the civil war many freedmen

the north to find employment, and ex.
actly how to aid them was often quite
difficult problem. In one case, for
example, Boston clergyman found
himself responsible for the welfare of
81 negro women. coming by boat from
Virginia. Time was passing, and he
dld not know where he could put
them. On the day before the steamer
was due he cnanced to meet the late

looked puzzled. Pm sure don't

SEES FAULT IN SCIENTISTS
Thinkers Of To-Day Lack Imagination,
According to Writer in Gas.
sier's Magazine.

Men of science, your faculties are
weakened by the very exactitude
which IS your pride. You measure and
weigh, and you are surrounded and
overwhelmed by the limitations i'm
posed by the experiences of your
senses. You seek causes upon observ-
ing effects, or determine the effects
resulting from given causes but such
analyses do not lead you into the
realm o. imagination. You are too
material. If you had been Newton
upon observing the apple fall, you
would have thought, "The reason why
1t fell was because its stem became
too weak to hold it." Newton, how
ever, had no imagination, and thereby
he discovered the law of gravitation,
declares writer in Casters Maya
cine. Columbus did not care to prove
simply that the earth was round. His
imagination fired him with a knowl-
edge OF benefits to mankind resulting
from possible (and, as 1t turned out,
chimericaD northwest passage due to
such roundness, His imagination in
spired the discovery of continent.
And so 1t is with name after name In
history. and so it will be with you and
me. We may achieve some small m cas-.
ure OF success by doing what our faith
ers did before us, but our really big
deeds Will be offspring of our imagina-
lions. Sometimes we see inventions
accomplished by chance or benefit
opened to mankind by stumbling
tootstep. Such are rare, and shiftless
we should be did we count upon cir
cumstances for success.

HOME MADE PAPER CUP

Travellers are often put to inconveni~
enee by the lack of proper drinking
cups. No careful person will use, or
permit children to use, the common
cup or tumbler found in public places;
and it is worth knowing that paper
drinking cup for each individual may
be fashioned with very little trouble.
Take a piece of smooth, clean paper
about seven or eight inches square
Fold diagonally; one long corner is
then bent over until it touches the mid
die of the opposite side; the paper is
turned over and the other corner is
bent in similar fashion. The two re-
naming triangular points of paper are
then pushed into the pockets at the
right and left and the cup is COM
pleted.
Not only cups but good-sizeG paper
buckets may be made upon the same
plan from any sort of paper. Thus
foot-square piece of newspaper may be
quickly converted into a container for
berries, mushrooms or any other pas
ture or forest delicacy which the ram
bier may wish to gather. The incon-
Venient bucket and pail may be left at
home, as the paper bucket is always
ready for any emergency, and may be
kept in ones pocket until wanted

railroad tracks. The circus train had
pulled into town within a few minutes
after leaving the Junction, and here
was Scotty, still four miles from town!
And the boys! OF course they were at
the circus grounds watching the circus
cars unloading and the tent being
erected. Oh, what Ounce he had been
to try to steal that rjde-just to show
off before the boys!
The distance between the town and
the Junction was very much longer
going than it had been coming, so Scot
ty found out to his disappointment
But he stalked on through the heat,
walking the ties for to- have followed
the wagon road would have heightened
his journey about mile.
At last Scotty came into sight of the
town, and in hearing of it at the same
time. The parade was oni He could
hear the bands playing and the fire.
crackers shooting, for the boys always
used firecrackers on every available
occasion. And what could be more
deserving of firecrackers than a cir
Gus? Scotty, very tired and overheated
after his ten miles of walking, entered
the business street to see the parade
turn from it into a side street, from
where it would proceed to the tents at
the outskirts of town And so he had
missed the parade. Well, he must not
cry over split milk. So he hastened
his steps, following in the direction of
the parade, intending to overtake 1t
at the tents.
But just as Scotty was turning a
corner cry greeted his ears. A chorus
of voices familiar to him called out:
Hello, Scotty. We didn't see you on
the circus train, though we met the
train three miles out from town."
Scotty turned to see his friends, the
boys. OF course. he was somewhat en-
barrassed over not having been able
to make good his boast about riding
into town on the circus car, but what
was his amazement when Gus said:
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-05

III HE boys were as happy as young
mortals can be. A circus was
coming to town. Everywhere-on
the few billboards of the village, on
sides of barns, untenanted old houses
and on fences-were the great advertis-
ing paper sheets, showing pictures of
trained elephants, trick monkeys, aero
mats, bareback riders and chariot
races. And every evening after school
the boys would stop before these huge
signs and read the exciting and at
tractive announcements of the wonder
ful feats to be performed in the
Enormous Two-Ring Circus
4 tell you, kids" said Harry Long,
lit will be day to remember. 1t will
be our first circus. and we must all
give it a hearty welcome
Yes, We'll go out to meet the train,"
said Scotty Smith. You know it has
to stop at the Junction and come in
on switch. We might get aboard
and ride in with the rest of the ami
mails"
Everybody laughed at Scotty's re-
mark about the "rest of the animals"
and then Gus Graham remarked:
Birds of a feather flock together"
and Water seeks it's own level, you
know"
: That's all right" nodded Scotty
But I bet I'll get on the circus train
and ride into town with the show.
Don't you think l can do it?''
"Oh, you may ride on the bumpers

and that it was going very slowly when
he met with the strong hand otherwise
he might have gotten a few bruises
from sudden contact with the earth.
But instead, he dropped gently to the
ground and the crowd of bystanders
about the Junction platform laughed
and cheered loudly at his expense. He
got up and hurried off down the rail-
road tracks, not once looking back at
the merry trainmen. His cheeks burnt
with shame at the ridiculous plight he
had been seen in.
On the rear platform of the circus
train stood a huge red-headed fellow,
grinning at him and shaking his fist
threateningly. No doubt he was the
owner of the mighty hand which had
grasped him so rudely by the shoulder
but a moment before. But Scotty did
not pay any attention to the stalwart
fellow, for the train was rapidly in
creasing it's speed and soon had turned
a curve round a hill and was out of
view.
"Gee!" muttered Scotty THAT was
a bad break for me. The boys will be
down the track piece waiting to see
me pass! Then they'll know something
has happened, for | called out to Harry
as 1 was passing his house this MORN
ing, telling him / was off to the juno
ton"
Thus, eommuning with himself, Scot
ty hurried downward, following the
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-05

said Gus. But hardly in the ele-
plants special car
HE might get a booth with the
monkeys suggested Art Jones'
well, just wait" warned Scotty,
"I'll ride on the circus train, and not
with the monkeys, either
"Well, We'll wait" laughed Harry.
When the day for the circus arrived
the boys were up and stirring before
the dawn. Scotty made up his mind
that he would see the entire show with
out paying a cent for it, and that he
would ride on the circus train into
town from the Junction, distance of
five miles. The circus train would be
obliged to stop for half an hour at the
Junction, and from there to enter the
town by a switch So, long before the
other boys were up, Scotty was half
way to the Junction, running most of
the distance.
When he reached the Junction the
circus train was switching, and all was
hustle and work among the trainmen
and the circus roustabouts. Scotty
watched his opportunity, and when he
thought no one was watching him
climbed on the rear end of one of the
box cars-one which held some of the
circus props There, securely and
comfortably seated, he waited for the
train to pull out. He had not long to
wait, for pretty soon the signal was
given, and slowly the great wheels be-
gan to turn in accompaniment to the
puff, puff. puff of the engine.
'Ah, won't the kids be surprised when
they see me riding past them?" Scotty
questioned himself. Then, thinking
himself all right for the ride into town,
he shut his eyes against the flying dust
from the roadside. But hardly had he
done so when gruff voice called out:
what you cioin' there, you bum?"
And the next instant a heavy hand
jerked him from his place on the rear
of the car and dropped him to the
ground It was a lucky thing for
Scotty that the train had only started,
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-05

"1f you had stayed back with us, Scot
ty, you'd have ridden into town on the
train-in the managers car, too We
were walking down the tracks to meet
the train and as it approached we
stepped off to one side and waved our
flags and cried out: Three cheers for
Bates and Browns Circus!" And the
manager happened to see US, and it
pleased him so much that he had the
engineer slow down the train and in
Vited us to jump aboard, which we
did. And see" and Gus took from
his pocket complimentary ticket to
the circus for that afternoon. "He gave
each of us kids one" he explained.
Scotty's face fell. He had been try
ing to SHOW Off and had lost the ride
in the circus managers car, besides
failing to get a comp for the show
that afternoon. But he would get into
the tent without paying; he meant to
do that all right. And when he boast
ed to Harry and Gus of his intention
they only smiled. Did you try to
steal a ride on the tramp they asked
him. And Scotty's face and manner
told the truth to them, though Scotty
tried to evade the question and turned
the subject.
At the circus grounds the boys
watched the free outside perform
ance," then visited two or three side
shows after which they returned to
their respective homes for dinner. AT
o'clock they again assembled at the
circus grounds, and Gus and Harry,
with three or four others of the boys,
had their comps and passed into the
big tent Scotty, without a ticket,
watched his opportunity to creep un-
der the tent. Although he had the
money in his pocket to pay for his'ad-
mission he wanted to show the boys
that he could make good" as he
called beating his way into the cir
Gus. SO, after the boys said to him,
well see you after the show he
replied: You'll see me inside the tent
within five minutes
And they did see him, too, and with
in the time specified by him. He saw
a place unmatched by the circus
.'rousties" and made for it. Lying
down fiat on his stomach he lifted the
dge of the tent, when his eyes spied
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-05

his friends seated a few feet above
the place where he had entered. He
slyly whistled to him. and they, un-
derstanding the signal, looked down
and saw him. But before they could
warn him a great redheaded circus
"rousty' had Scotty by the nape of
the neck and was thrusting him out
from beneath the tent 'Ah, you ras-
cal, you are the same bum l threw
from the train this morning. Let me
lay hands on you again and I'll have
you jugged. Clear out of here!"
OF course the boys had to laugh in
spite of themselves over Scotty's quick
exit, and Gus declared it was cheaper
in the end to pay ones way-or come
as guest of the management-than to
attempt to dead beat" 1t. And Scotty,
too much Inundated to be seen in the
circus, hurried home, crept to his own
room. and went to bed to think over
the humiliating experiences of the day.
"Well, when the next circus comes to
town I'll stick with the boys" he de-
clared And I'll never try to steal
another ride on train nor attempt to
creep under circus tent. I'll pay my
way and see the show like an honest
kid. Anyway, I've been a boaster and
bragger and am now suffering the pen
atty. How the boys will laugh at me-
And I've missed the parade and the
show. too Gee, but this has been a
bad day for me, not speaking of the
ten miles l had to walk"
