Will RAISE
WATERMELONS

Windsor, April 80. = Frank
Hatch, the barber. and Dave Blew
ins, the blacksmith, have gone into
partnership and this season will
leave the shop and the anvil for the
simple life on a watermelon farm
where they expect to grow tons OF
the juicy fruit and incidentally have
the time of their lives far away
from the "maddening crowd" 1t
all came about this way: Mr.. Hatch
has been faithful to hts trade for
years and not being in very good
health, due to serious trouble he
had with a tooth last winter. de-
cided vacation was coming to
him. Blevins said he had made uI
his mind to leave his forge for &
spell and the two after considering
various plans and places suitabl,
for them decided that a five acr,
tract on Blevins' dry farm south o
town would offer opportunity 70
both rest and the right kind of rec
reation. A thorough study OF GRO
conditions decided in favor of tn
watermelon and early on Monda
morning the two men started 70
their farm ready to begin work. S
sure are they of big harvest tina
they have already taken orders 70
a ton of their watermelons. TIL
seed will be planted Wednesday, tn
almanac saying that then is tn
right time of the moon to plant.

WHERE CHAMP CLARK'S
FIRST NAME CAME FROM

James Beauchamp pronounced
BeechamD Clark was known in his
early life as James B. Clark Soon
after leaving law school he found
that J. b. Clark was getting mail
at nearly every post office in the
country. Sometimes they got his
letters and sent them back to the
writer's.
~ tried looping off the James
and travelling as plain Beauchamp
Clark, but my friends insisted upon
pronouncing 1t 'Bo-champ.' or alb
breviating 1t to 'Bo Clark" said
the speaker, telling me how he
made the change. Il thought |
would save them the trouble by alb
breviating 1t myself and began to
write 1t Champ Clark 1t has been
a good asset. 1t is enough to be
usually printed in full. Look at any
list OF those present in the papers.
Others are mention by surnames
only. but my name is printed
Champ Clark" From this it may
be inferred that the speaker is alive
to the value of advertising.-Fran

JUVENILE
Band FIRST
APPEARANCE
EVENING OF MUSIC AND MINIS
TREISl AT TEACHERS COL
LEGE INTRODUCES SEVERAL
PLEASING STUNTS

Night Officer Newlin broke up
Gran game at the Teachers colleg'
Friday night. This isn't as bad n
It looks, however, for said craI
game was part and parcel of the
blackface doin's of Theophilus Fit
& Co.'s Gigantic Minstrel aggrega'
CATION that held the boards in the
chapel for the benefit of the recent
ly organized Juvenile band OF the
training school. The game and the
official pulling was put up job.
The chapel was well filled with
fond parents and their friends, for
it was the first public appearance of
the young wind TANNERS. whose
sundry and divers toots have been
whipped into melody very different
from their efforts of a few months
ago. Following several creditable
selections by the band, and clario-
net solo by their leader Lewis
LYONS. the College Mandolin club of
eight gave a medley that was we'll
received.
The College Glee club of 10
Young ladies followed with
plantation melody. Don't You Cry,
Ma Money, that proved pleasing.
Miss Amy Deibert sang Spring
Song" with violin obligato by Miss
Poirson, making happy combina-
ton.
Then followed the introduction of
Fitz's Darktown Aggregation, conf
posed of Messrs. S. NJ. Hadden. j.
c. Kendel, Nathan Lloyd, Noah
Horning, Roy Adams, Orlo Hull.
Fred Ramsdell. -ucCunniff. William
West, Professor Fitz. Frank Arnold
and Davidson. The high jinks that
the boys put up under the name of
minstrelsy would assure them work
on the road any time they get opt
of job 1t was during one of the
skits of a trio of the collud gem
men that the crap game was pulled
off, and the entrance in the scene
of real policeman from the citys
uniformed finest, created some
thing of a panic and quick disap-
pearance of the worries.
Following the crap game quar-
tet. behind the curtain, partially
borrowed from down town. con-
sisting of E. B. Hatch, Scott Thomp-
son, Charles Philips and Professor
Fitz. sang "rd Like to Go Down
South Once More. followed by an
encore of plantation melodies and
Darktown boxing bout following
wound up the performance.
Several bouquets of brightest
colors are due Professor Fitz and
his assistants for the creditable per-
formance they gave and the audi
ence enjoyed more laughs for a
quarter than they usually get at
dollar performance elsewhere. The
Juvenile band fund is considera bly,
richer through the effort.

ROSE ABOVE HANDICAP
CHILDREN WHOSE
NAMES ARE FAMOUS.
Birth Of Child Of John Jacob Astor
Has Aroused Interest In the List.
Which Contains Many Per
sons OF Note.

The birth OF posthumous child OF
John Jacob Astor arouses especial in
terest and sympathy because Of the
tragic death of the father In the tt
tanic disaster. Yet all posthumous
children excite such sentiments. Some
Of these children have moreover at
tracted additional attention from the
world In after life through their own
achievements.
Alexander the Great has hean said
by some historians to have been born
after the death OF his father, but &C.
cording to other authorities Philip OF
Macedon lived to enjoy the compan-
ionship OF his son for several years. 1t
may be that Alexander's stepbrother
was a posthumous child, but that has
not been proved.
Ben Jonson, the Elizabethan dram
atist. was born in 1873. a month after
his fathers death. He was fortunate
In acquiring . stepfather who was .
good friend to him and gave him an
excellent education.
Thomas Herbert was Of posthumous
birth. says his elder brother, Lord
Herbert OF Cherbury. He In remem-
bered chiefly as the brother OF Lord
Herbert OF Cherbury and Of George
Herbert, the poet.
Early In the seventeenth century
another child came into the world un-
der similar conditions. This was Abra-
ham Cowley, the English poet His
father who had been grocer In hum
bile circumstances. died shortly before
the birth OF the son. Thanks to the
unfagging struggle and devotion of
his mother the boy received a good
education and his poetic genius had
opportunity for development
Dean Swift was born a few months
after his fathers death. Kindly dis
posed relatives helped his mother with
his upbringing and education.
Adam Smith. author OF The Wealth
of Nations" put in his appearance In
this world some four months after the
death OF his father.
Still another English poet was a
Iposthumous child. This was Thomas
Chatterton. who was born In Bristol
about the middle of the eighteenth
century.
Andrew Jackson. seventh president
of the United States, was born in a
little log cabin on the border line be-
tween North and South Carolina. In
that same cabin his father, who had
! come to America from the north coast
of Ireland, died few days before the
birth of his son.
/, Rutherford Birchard Hayes, the
$ nineteenth president. was another
lposthumous child He was born In
9 October and his father died In the
. July preceding,

> XIII. was born after his fathers
