Ball In Box Frame.

confined to the whiting of a stick,
cases of it were isolated to a few who
apparently meditated while they sent
tiny chips f1uttering over the ground,
but one day regular park devotee re-
marked that he could white ball in
box frame. He was called upon to
prove his ability to do so, and no
sooner had he done so than his admir-
ing associates tried to manufacture
others like it. The eagerness of chill
dren to possess such unique toy add
ed an incentive to the fascination of
whiting, and soon SO many whittlers
were in evidence that curiosity con-
corning them created comment, which
led to investigation. A stroll through
the park the other day revealed 81
gentlemen engaged in whiting ball
in-a-frame."
One OF fhe whittlers declared it was
IAN off afternoon" II only 81 whittlers
were found, as several punches of
boys" found hours of amusement In
the pastime.
What do you get out of it," he was
asked.
Just the satisfaction Of making It,"
he smilingly answered.
The illustration shows the method
of cutting the ball, and also the toy
when finished.

ENGLISH SPELLING IS HARD
Noted Scholar Makes Strong Plea
for Phonetic System-Child
Would Save Much Time.

A strong plea in favor of phonetic
spelling was made to the meeting OF
the British Association for the Ad.

LII. D., vice-chancellor and principal
of the University of St. Andrews and
principal of the United College of St.
Salvador and ST. Leonard, says a Lon.
don cable dispatch to the New York
Sun. Sir James told the association
that spelling is thing of no conse.
quence and everybody ought to be
allowed to spell as he likes, just as
Shakespeare and our ancestors did
Sir James said that this plan would
lead to phonetic spelling Our present
system of spelling, he told the SCI
entists, If 1t can be called system,
Is unique in it's absurdity. The
French, German and Dutch spell!
Theoretically, but the English are ter
ribly behind them
If the English spelling we're pho
netic, said Sir James, it would b.
easy for the whole population OF
China to learn the English language,
but no foreigners now had chance
to learn easily. The English speak
ing child taught to spell Theoretically
he said, saved at least a year in the
task Of acquiring an education.
Sir James concluded his phonetic
plea by scoring compositors in gen
eral The present method of makins
up words, he charged. was the doing
of compositors. I'VE are slaves oil

we do not spell according to theil

WANTED TO FINISH THE JOB
Pride In His Work, Not Tenoer Heart,
Was What Induced the Chauffeur
to Return.

They--were going along the public
highway at a leisurely rate of forty
miles per hour, when a decrepit hen
and rooster started to do the chicken
special-cross the road.
The front and hind wheels on the
right side struck the poor, old stiff
jointed rooster amidships, and with
one squawk he succumbed.
Immediately the man at the steering
wheel started to slow down and to
look about for place to turn.
His solicitous wife turned to her
seatmate and said:
isn't that just like his tender heart?
He won't be satisfied unless he goes
back and settles for that rooster. He
just can't bear to feel he has injured
anyone or anything"
Then louder, to her husband, she
said: George, remember that ap-
pointment. We haven't any time to
go back for anything"
CHANGING at the clock near his feet
and at the speedometer near by, he
sighed and said:
You're right, Jennie; but l just
know if 1 had turned back l could
have killed that old hen just as easy
as did the rooster. Judge.
