HE MEANT TO HELP

Buffalo boy, four years old, has
been spending the season with his par
ents at a summer resort in West Vir-
ginia. AT the hotel 1t was the custom
of the orchestra to give a concert ev-
cry evening, and the little fellow al.
ways had front seat near the drum
mer. One evening while the orchestra
was playing. the man with the drum
laid down his drumstick at a place in
the score which did not demand his
assistance. Quick as u flash the lit
tie boy picked 1t up and before anyone
could interfere he gave the drum three
resounding whacks. The audience was
instantly aroused and the conductor
of the orchestra turned sharply In
amazement to inquire into the pro.
ceeding which had so rudely disturbed
the harmony of the piece. The boy was
pulled away to his room by his father,
who sternly asked why his son had
acted thus. why, papa" innocently
replied the lad, "the drummer got tired

The contest on the alleys last night
was between the leaders, the Weasels
and the tail enders, the Foxes. Con.
trary to the expectations, however, the
foxes won out easily by 1919 pins. The
victory was not due to any quality of
foxiness of the Fixes but to low roll
ing of the Weasels. The tournament
may develop any team as the winner
when leaders lose to tail enders. To-
