An Englishman's pride in h'- own
country is both admirable and humor-
Gus at times. In very good Western
story in Gunter's, entitled "The Re-
mittance Man." Preston Ward, the
writer, has his hero apostrophize
England in these words:
"I see a place where the grass is
green--so green; you don't know
green, Tom, till you see English grass
all rolled and pampered and trimmed
for hundreds of years by my father
and my fathers father, and their
fathers back--so far. And there's
hedges-trim hedges, Tom, not a
great rugged, cruel mountain ridge
that notches the horizon, English
hedges you can see over best when
a good old Irish hunter lifts his front
legs to take them. 1t takes your
breath, that lift, it does. Maybe
little trout stream plays for while
through the green--so green-grass;
it's an English trout stream--never
clustering nor making a fuss about
itself like the mountain fellows here.
And the whole country's filled with
trees--English trees, Great oaks
that have lived in our places since
we, and that guard the old homes
and the old families and make them
what they are. They're not afraid to
stretch 0uGi they dent get ashamed
and stunted al Z timber line; there's
no scrub cRs nor shrubs nol cactus
IA my England Ana ali the places
.ara l4;a ont ID afraight lines aNd all
the families are straight Ike thA
lines, and the hedges gaean that lhls
ls mine and tAat Is yours, but we
won't quarrel about it, for we're all
Englishmen. Oh, it's tight little
place, Tom; and it sometimes cramps
fellows like me and chafes us mortal
sore, and sometimes we--well, we
aren't as straight as the oaks, and
they make us ashamed to listen to
the English breeze whispering
through their English branches. But
it's tight little England my Eng
land, Tom! And that's what 1 see
down there in the mountains. It's
calling me home; calling me, calling
me home like the echo we catch up
here"

Animal Partnexhips.

A doctor in Canada gives most
interesting instance OF partnership
between two animals--a coyote, or
prairie wolf, and a common badger.
1t Is quite common, he says, for these
two creatures to go out hunting to-
gether, and he has often seen them in
his district hunting for the small
ground squirrels that live in bur-
rows below the soil
Their snug little homes have al
ways two entrances, and while the
coyote watches one of these, the
badger digs down from the other, so
that, whichever way the poor squirrel
tries to escape, he is certain to make
a meal for one Of his foes, says Home
Notes. This is quite rrue" story,
though IL sounds strange, and there
Is no doubt that anrmals ara often
far more clever than we give them
credit for being.

The Parsons Trap.
BY JAMES w. WORKS.

A. certain local preacher who lived
in Western New York III my boyhood
days cultivated a small farm In ad-
dition to his clerical duties and was
accustomed to trap mink, muskrat
and similar small deer" He was
brought before board of deacons of
his church on charge of attending
his traps on Sunday. He explained
by saying that on one occasion he
was taking walk. 1t chanced to be
Sunday morning, and also he had
casually passed near one of his traps.
In the jaws of the steel trap he dis
covered live mink. AS the poor
creature was badly mangled and suf-
fering, he. out OF humanity, took the
animal out and. knocked 1t In the
head.
This seemed to be satisfactory and
the charge was about to be dis
missed when Deacon Cobb sprang his
trap: "Parson, did you set the trap
agin?" With deprecatory wave Of
the hand easy to imagine but diff
cult to describe, the parson replied:
Deacon, / just barely set it,"

THOMAS EDISON.


This is true story about a man
who is alive to-day. He has invented
a talking machine, has given us Che
electric lights and has invented hlin@
dreds of useful things which. give
comfort to people all over the world
He has even made an instrument 10
measure the heat of the. far-off stars,
5ixty-three years ago, when this
great man was born, no one dreamed
that some day the name OF Thonl4g
Iislison would be 50 famous. As sis
little boy grew into childhood he
asked many questions which we're dif-
ficult to answer, for he wanted to
know the why and how of mers
things. When young Edison was
twelve years old he began to earn
money, for he started in business as
a newsboy, selling fruits, peanuts and
papers On the train. His brightnFs
and pleasantness gained many Gus
toners.
With the money earned he bought
powders and liquids to use for ex-
periments. All of these jars and bot
ties of things were kept in an old bag
gage car and labeled "poison," so
that no one would interfere with
them. Soon Edison wanted to print
paper of his own, so bought some
old type from a printing office. His
shop was in the baggage car where ne
kept his chemicals. After being q
newsboy for four years an accident
happened which caused young Edison
to change his work. The baggage
car In which, the boy kept his chem
icals and printing press caught fire
by the falling of bottle OF phos-
phorus on the floor. So angry was the
conductor that after putting out the,
fire he boxed Thomas Edison's ears
and threw his materials out Of the
car. Later Edison set up his print,
ing press at his home,
AS the boy grew older he studiec
telegraphy from Mr.. McKensie, who
took great pains in teaching Edisons
for Edison had risked his life to saye
that of Mr.. McKensie's child, who
was playing on the track of q moving
engine. The great inventor as q
( young man was. not very successful in
keeping positions, for his employers
complained that ne had too many
plans of his own.
AS the man grew older these plans
and many more we're worked out until
Thomas Edison has given pleasure
and comfort to millions of people by
the work OF his. hands and brain.
This untiring worker still spends
much of his time In trying to discover
better ways of doing things. Wash

! THE ORIGIN "a
OF BASEBALL.
D Saeaoaaaes@@aa aeaeaseeoeea!

Do you know that our great Ameri-
can game OF baseball undoubtedly
originated in England? Arthur B.
Reeve, in Outing, delves into the his
tory of the game. He says:
Baseball probably grew out Of the
old English schoolboy game Of
FOUNDERS Some have adduced evil
dence that it came from the old New
England game of one old cat or
two old cat,' which may be true.
The old game of tipcat may also be
related 1t was played by four, six,
or eight players, each standing by a
hole or base. One of the opposite
party threw the cat to a baseman and
every time 1t was hit they had to run
about the bases. Probably FOUNDERS
and tipcat had the same ancestor.
At any rate, baseball belongs to the
family.
IAN Englishman seeing a baseball
game for the first time might very
properly say, This is FOUNDERS made
scientific. We took the old game,
made rules, and amended it until now
1t stands forth as the national game
OF America"

LANcAsTERs GERMAN PAPER.
Dead After an Existence Of More
Than a Hundred Years.

After an existence of nearly 102
years lVolksfreund und Beobach-
ter, Lancaster's last surviving Ger
man newspaper, with the issue OF
March 21became defunct. For more
than 100 years Lancaster mas Fad
her German newspaper actively COM
petimg with the English. Fer NUM-
ber OF years the community ably sup
ported a daily. 1t is significant fact
that there are not now sufficient read
ers of German to support even a
weekly. 'Y''
Pennsylvania Dutch is still spoken
in the northern parts Of Lancaster
County, but comparatively few of the
population can read German; and
while they may converse in the Ger
man dialect, having been educated in
the public schools, they read English
newspapers. Journalism in English
has now completely crowded out the
German here.
William Hamilton, the editor of
the Lancaster Journal (begun in
1794), in July, 1908, advertised for a
German editor. He secured Joseph
Ehrenfried, and in August, 1908,
started Der Volksfreund, a Federalist
weekly paper, the subscription price
to be $1.50 year. In February,
1909, Mr., Hamilton announced that
he had formed "a connection With
Mr.. Peter Albright, late one of the
publishers of the Amerikanishe
Staatsbote," and that 'the volks-
freund will henceforward be pub
lished under the firm of Hamilton,
Albright & Fhrenfried"
Subsequently Mr., Hamilton became
involved in pecuniary difficulties and
the establishment passed into Mr..
Ehrenfried's possession by Sheriff's
sale. He did not make success of
the paper, and it was again sold by
the Sheriff, in 1917, and purchased
by John Baer and Samuel Killing.
The latter retired the same year, and
Mr. Baer became sole proprietor In
1884 he purchased the Lancaster Beo-
bachter from Samuel Wagner and
combined the two papers under the
title of Der Volksfreund und Beo-
bachter (The Peoples Friend and OBJ
server).
John Bacr died in 1858. EIis sons,
Reuben A. and Christian r., under
the name Of John Baer's Sons, con-
tinued the publication of the paper.
Reuben A, Baer died d few years
ago. Christian r. Baer is still living
here, retired and In feeble health,
and his son, John r. Baer, was the
last publisher Of the paper.
Mr.. John F.. Baer the publisher,
says: ut no longer paid, and SO we
gave it up" The editorial valedic-
tory was written by Mr.. Charles
Nickel, who had been editor for a
number of years. Thus, full of years
and honors, expired Der Volksfreund
und Beobachter, perhaps the last Ger
man newspaper ever to be published
in Lancaster. ID. H. S., Lancaster,
Pa, in the New York Sun.

RoYal Motor Cara.

King Edwards motor cars did not
bear number plates. Those Of th5
German royal family are recognized
by their warning signals, They alone
may use the three noted horns.
"The cars used by the German En-.
perer and Empress have their ap-
proach heralded by three noted horns
and those of the royal princes by two
noted horns No infringement OF this,
prerogatlye by ordinary motorists Isl
tolerated
"The fact that the royal cars, both
In England and In Germany, may so

sior OF the confidence which exists
between the nionarchs and their re-
Spective peoples" says the Gentle-

WILD CATS IN CAPTIVITY.

a female wild cat which had been

In about a months time the cat,
which afterwards escaped and was
shot while raiding pheasant rearing
grounds, presented me with four kit
tens, and knowing the cannibalistic
tendencies of wild animals in cap
