The parents Of two growing boys on whom
the camp school scheme had already been
worked for all 1t was worth hit upon an
other plan for their last summers vacation.
They bought few acres OF land in an out
of the way place, with a small and rather
dilapldated farmhouse on IT. There the boys
were turned loose. with a graduate Of An
agricultural college TO tell them how TO act
the best returns from their land On the
rainy days they revelled In the joys OF re-
pairing the house, and soon took pride in
their skill as plasterers, carpenters and
painters They had q pleasant sense OF
ownership, too which constantly increased
as the land and home improved under their
care. While the boys are looking forward
In another and perhaps several agreeable
vacations, spent on their farm, moro eX-
nerienced heads are able to see far enough
into the future TO know that the investment
was q good one, not only for the years OF
bovhood, but for the future as well. Since
all parts of the country have become acces-
sibIc the small abandoned farm has taken
on a new value in the eyes OF the worldly
wise.

Tips az Strike Breakers.

Not q few men who are accustomed
to give liberal tips were heard to ex-
press themselves bitterly on the sub
ject Of the walters strike.
Ono Of the managers at the Waldorf
was talking yesterday about hearing
one Of the best-known brokers in New
York. known as one Of the most gen.
erous tippers about the hotel, declare
emphatically that he had vowed never
again to tip waiter who had struck.
Some doubt was expressed, and the
manager rushed away and brought up
the broker.
Yes. I said It," the latter agreed.
and. furthermore, mean 1t. In the
course of the last twenty years / have
given away thousands OF dollars In
tips to waiters-never less than q
quarter, and sometimes as much as SIS
at time. Yet what did 1t count for
me to spend lot OF money on men
Just for bringing me a few plates Of
food? Hereafter shall ask every
man who serves me whether he was q
striker. II he was, l shall not give
him cent. and I can. tell you l have
talked with hundreds who feel Just

OrIQIn Of "Hoosjer.D

When the Indiana Society Of Chi
cago held its annual outing and feed
June l. Charles Healy told a new YER
sion of how the term "Hoosier" came
to be applied to Indianians.
AN old river pilot gave me the
story" said Mr.. Healy, land 1t sounds
pretty reasonable. In the early days
when Indiana was only sparsely set
tied along the southern border, most
OF tho trading was done in the Ken
lucky towns just across the river. Nat
urally. when the settlers went to
town they cut up all sorts of capers
and one OF the new stunts in those
days was for man to Jump up in
the air and try to kick his heels to.
gether twice before touching the
ground.
"One day a crowd Of Indiana settlers
arrived In town. and some one of.
fered to bet that a member of tho In.
diana crowd couldn't kick his heels
together twice and say 'Hussar' two
times before coming down. He per
formed the stunt all right, with tho
exception Of saying 'Hussar.' In his
excitement he mispronounced the
word and said 'Hoosier, Hoosier
That's how the famous nickname orig.
mated, according to the river pilot.
and from that time on all Indiana PEG.
pie were called .Hoosiers.'

FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND,

English chemists estimate that
nearly 100000 tons Of coal are vast
ed every year in the British Isles in
the form Of SCOT. Experiments in the
city of Leeds have shown that al
least 220 tons of SCOT are deposited
annually over each square mile Of the
city's area. Glass plates exposed In
the center Of Leeds became coated
with about - times as much tarry
SCOT as in locality nine miles away
The black deposit chokes vegetation
by checking Transportation and assimi
lation, thins tho foliage Of trees and
reduces the quantity and quality Of
garden products. The solid particles

the center Of Leeds had but 1857

recorded John Petersen, alias Friend
John. In the Newtown purchase from
