which time each bandsman had the
privilege of selecting any machine he
liked to be driven about the city in.

ment. Their lawlessness looked at
from another angle is clan patriotism.
They are not depraved, nor are they
criminals at heart.
The Hessians are quite different.
They have little If any understanding
of modern morality. Marriage is
luxury, which has seldom fingered at
their doors.
There is hardly a cabin in these
mountains which does not harbor its
idiot, the result of atrocious family re-
lations.
The Hessians are not lawless with
firearms. Feuds are almost unknown
to them. This is not because of any
appreciation Of the value of human
life. They do not like strife and con-
tention. When neighborly quarrels
arise they usually fight It out with
sticks and stones and their big, bony
fists. Firearms are reserved for the
wild turkeys and quail.
The Hessian women do most of the
heavy work. The men cut little
wood and train the coon dogs. If the
women become unruly they are whip
ped by their husbands.

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

"our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back OF HIS ears. The
Door little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, We
read OF the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuucura Soap and
Ointment Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.

HARD TO ACCOUNT FOR HAT
Presence Of Human Headgear in Stonl-
ache Of Shark Something Of a
Puzzle to Sailors.

During the past few months sew
sral sharks have been captured at
various points along the New South
Wales coast, which on being opened
have been found to contain human re-
mains. Most cases have been identi-
fed as those of unfortunate fisher
men or bathers who had previously
disappeared. A similar case came to
light the other day, when the crew Of
the tugboat Jumbuck captured an
enormous shark off Mainly beach, Sgd
ney. The party had been schnapper
fishing, and were greatly annoyed by
the avidity with which their fish were
eaten off the hook by shark as they
were being hauled into the boat.
Turning their attention, then, from
the schnapper to bigger game, the
tugboat crew baited a hook for the
shark, and, on finally securing him
and pulling him on board, got as
tonishing results from the post

silk flag stretched taut. Get little

posite end red and white flowers In
blue bowl or the like.
For place cards the names Of the
children can be written on penny flags.
Or If a little trouble is not objected to,
cut them out of heavy art paper in the
form of Minute Men," for use either
without any color as silhouettes, or to
be tinted If there is talent in the
household.
For beach parties and picnics many
Of the garden frolics are available.
with others specially designed for
playing on the sand.
The seashore Klondike, where gifts
wrapped in tiny bundles are buried In
the sand, guests digging for them as
prizes, is familiar, but always good
and exciting. This requires a special
inclosure which is easily arranged by
means of four posts and a rope or
tape to mark the boundaries.
Newer and equally good fun is a
clam digging contest Here clam
shells. washed and matched in pairs
are glued together to inclosed gifts
wrapped in tissue paper. Or for
tunes" can be substituted in case for
any reason gifts are not desired.
These are buried in the sand When
the signal for beginning the game is
given all commence to dig simultane-
ously. The picnickers are armed with
sand shovels for the purpose and each
retains the first gift or fortune or
other treasure that is captured. In
the case of written fortunes, have
these either in prose or rhyme and
purporting to come from Father Nep-
tune or the Mermaids.
Nowhere is the game of ringing the
cane more quickly arranged than on
the beach. To adjust from four to six
walking sticks or dowel rods in the
sand is the work of a moment. The
rings can be rope ends. spliced to-
gether to form them, or embroidery
hoops or circles of wire will do.
Another game on the same general
order is where each cane is surmount-
ed with rag dolls head, representing
Aunt Hanna, Sambo or Topsy, accord
ing to the fancy Of the designer and
players endeavor to hit the canes
(Which are very lightly Nembedded)
with a rubber ball. Each cane dis
lodged counts one point for the per
son hitting it. They are readiusted
over and over until game of the de-
sired length has been played.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-06-28

the children begin a search for the
torpedoes which lasts twenty minutes.
Each white candy found counts one
point. each red wrapper, two points,
and each blue three points, the young
ster whose score is highest winning
the game.
In the way of good things to eat
have sandwiches of different whole
some kinds wrapped in squares Of tri-
color tissue paper. Have the old
fashioned red and white candy sticks
tied in pretty hay stacks" with blue
ribbon, towards the four corners OF
the table. Ice cream in red, white
and blue combination is pretty, but
most confectioners are now prepared
to serve it IN the form of flags or of
stars for small extra charge. Jelly
roll on a blue china plate also pre-
sents the pro1er color combination.
Salads, croquettes, etc, may be served
in the conventional way.
In the way of souvenirs, which may
be buried in the patriotic pie, as
above described, have chocolate fire
crackers, flag pins. tissue paper liberty
bells, star-shaped pincushions, flag
blotters and so forth.
In proceeding to the table let the
children form in line for a grand
march to the inspiring melody of Yam
kee Doodle or the Star Spangled Ban
ner.
A soap bubble tournament is always
fun and II the little white "dudeens"
are decorated with red, white and blue
streamers, and the prizes are Fourth
of July novelties, such as the stores
carry at this season of the year the
contest will take on quite festive air
Give a prize for the bubble that floats
furthest "a line must be indicated
across the room for this competitlon),
another trihe for the fairy ships which
show most beautiful colors, one for the
largest bubble and yet another for
that which lives the longest of all
Soap bubble outfits, which are mex
pensive toys, would make splendid
prizes.
Some time in advance Of the frolics
secure a large flower pot, or failing
this, tin pail, and fill with sand. In
the latter place a flag upright To
play the game planned each child in
turn takes a tin spoon and removes a
spoonful of the sand, taking care not
to overthrow the flag in doing So
The person who finally causes the en-
sign to fall must pay a forfeit
Or this simple but most hilarious
blackboard game might be introduced
if the necessary schoolroom adjunct
can be secured and transplanted to the
lawn. For it each player is blind
folded and conducted to the board and
is asked to draw Old Glory. The flag
adjudged best in all the blindfold art
wins a box of candy with a flag dis
played on the cover
The feast that marks the occasion
whether offered at midday as a lunch
or later on as a supper, should be full
of patriotic suggestion. For the cen
terpiece have a toy drum with the
head removed and the inside filed
with red, white and blue tissue paper
shaved in fine strips. In this are
buried little patriotic gifts, the rib
bon attached to them hanging over the
sides Of the drum and the whole
forming an effective and unusual
horner pie. This may be placed upon

Such is the life of the lost Hes
SLAMS. The church has not forgotten
them, but they are very apt to forget
the church. Missionaries have been
sent among them, and they are still
there working away to the best OF
their ability. 1t is not difficult to- get
the Hessians to come to the log meet
ing houses. It is the nearest thing to
amusement they come in contact with.
But It seems to be practically impos-
sible to teach these mountaineers the
basic law of thine and mine. They
are naturally rather truthful. But
when it comes to taking anything OF
his neighbors which appeal to him the
Hesslan will not countenance re-
straint.
Superstition lives as an honored
guest in every cabin. A copper pen
ny buried under the ewes OF Jne CABIN
SO that the rain may drip on it Is a
cure for some very terrible diseases.
The spirit of fever eats and lives on
dirt. A superstition which Doc Elan
nagan, the Dr. MacClure of the Rag
ged mountains, is not over industri-
GUS to kill.
If you happen to meet Doc Flanna-
gan riding through the Ragged noun
tains with a wild turkey slung across
his saddle as a fee for services rem
dered, stop him and ask him more
about the lost Hessians. He brings
most of them into the world today.
