johnson film for the same price,
and, again, I am of the opinion
that any boy that is anxious
enough to see those moving pic
lures and pay perhaps so cents or
a dollar, why he will take care of
himself as well as he did before
he saw them.
Think of the terrible stains
that must be on the morals of
some of our good citizens who
went to Reno to witness the fight!
l trust they will be forgiven.
Returning again to comparing
different films, I have noticed
this, that you win find hundred
kids" Gas we were called) will
take their wooden guns, swords
and pistols and play robber and
Injun and shoot each other to
one so-called kid that will get into
a fight and put up any kind of a
show.
1t Is easier to make believe
shooting than to knock them down
with the fist. Now, all these lit
tie fellows don't turn into robbers
and pirates, and nothing in the
world to keep them from seeing
the terrible Indian" pictures,
where the price viii be prohibitive
with the fight films. ! sincerely
hope, and 1 know a good many
other men who have good red
fluid in their veins hope also that
the films will be shown here. and
that our present fighting Mayor
Fawcett will be able to block any
move on the part of the dear peo-
pie who are trying to uphold our
present high standard of morals.
because we are SO weak and sus-
ceptible to wiggling films of a
fight that we may go down and
down never to be uplifted and be
able to read another Diamond

1t was a little brass trumpet,
painted red, blue and gold. One
of Lew Suns uncles, who kept
big store in the City of Canton,
had given 1t to his little nephew
on his last visit to the country,
and now, wherever Lew Sun went,
you could hear the little trumpet
blowing.
In the next cottage to the cot
tage of Lew Suns father lived
Lew Suns little cousin, All Leen.
Lew Sun, who was seven, and All
Leen, who was six, had been very
great chums before the visit of
the uncle from the big city and
the blowing of the trumpet. They
had played together on the sands,
gathered flowers in the woods,
and often at shutdown had placed
their little bowls of rice side by
side and eaten together. While
thus engaged they had been wont
to discuss the many merits of All
Leen's Picking pugs. who sat be-
side them.
But now whenever All Leen
saw Lew Sun coming, she would
cover her ears with her little
hands and run away and hide her.
self. She could not bear the
sound of the trumpet. go away;
go away" she would cry to Lew
Sun, and Lew Sun, seeing that
she was afraid of his trumpet,
would blow all the harder. 1t
made him merry to see the little
girl scamper away and to hear her
cry out against the trumpet. Aft
er she had hidden herself, he
would laugh and laugh.
He forgot altogether how dear
All Leen had been or how cute
the Picking pugs. All his delight
was in his new toy, the little
trumpet which made such a big
noise that not only All Leen, but
his grandmother, too, started up
in alright when 1t sounded.
One afternoon, he was lying on
the grass, under the shade of a
big Towering bush, his gay little
trumpet beside him. On the 9TH
er side Of the bush sat three mer-
ry peddlers, telling stories. They
did not know Lew Sun was so

Editor Times:
MY Dear Editor: AS a sub
scriber to your valuable little
paper, have been reading the
various articles of interest. one of
the most interesting being the re-
cent fistic engagement between
Jeffries and johnson in which
johnson showed himself to be the
better man. The object in view in
this letter to you is in regard to
the moving picture end of the
fight which we are being told by
some people that If exhibited will
have a most demoralizing effect
upon man, woman and child.
From the viewpoint of these
people, and when your paper came
out and gave an excellent descrip-
ton OF the entire fight. you should
not have mentioned the fact that
the blood ran down Jeffries' face
and his lips were split, etc., for
am sure that you have greatly
wronged us all.
AS to the demoralizing effect
OF the fight pictures, let me say a
few words. Go to some of the
picture shows" see the man

country road and then see the

hind him and either stab. club or

down the garden path. Her
mother had sent her to offer some
watermelon seeds tothe old ped
dlers, who, you may be sure, were
very glad to accept of the re-
freshment, so crisply cooked and
nicely sailed.
She had made her little court
esy to the peddlers, and was half
way back to the house when Lew
Sun, his eyes sparkling with mis-
chief, raised his trumpet to his
lips and blew SO strong and SO
loud that poor little All Leen
trembled all over, and let fall to
the ground her mothers dish,
which broke to pieces.
ooh! obi" exclaimed All Leen.
Her mother ran from the house.
Naughty girl" she scolded. She
did not know that All Leen had
been frightened by the trumpet
blowing, but thought only that
she had been careless.
The tears ran down All Leen's
little face; she rubbed her little
fists into her eyes. and alto
gether looked very pitiful little
picture.
Lew Sun, watching from un-
der the shade of the bush, felt
something tickle his throat, and
almost before he knew 1t, he was
beside All Leen, crying:
ooh, honorable aunt, twas not
my cousins fault. blew my
trumpet on purpose to shake her,
and, 10, she was shaken, and the
dish fell"
81 see," said his aunt. "Come
here, All Leen," and she tenderly
wiped away her little girls tears.
After she had returned to the
house, leaving Lew Sun and All
Leen together, the little boy said
to the little girl:
"Our honorable grandmother
quivers at the sound of my lit
tie brass trumpet, and If, my
cousin, you will play with me
again, I will present 1t to the
cobbler's boy"
And All Leen answered: 81
will play with you again, Lew SUN.
