INTERESTING TO MANY BOYS
There To No Present That VIII Be So Dear to Heart of Youth as Pen
 Of Bantam Chickens

Whenever you see pen cf ban tams shown you always hear a num- Der of people voicing their wonder as to the utility of these small birds. Strictly speaking they are of no real use. The birds are altogether too small to be raised for the table, though they are far more tender than their larger relatives. The bantam eggs are smaller than ever the eggs of a Leghorn bullet and 1t takes about three of them to equal two ordinary eggs Nevertheless the bantams oc- cupy a place in the chicken world ilaGt is far more important than most people think.
 They are bred for two reasons, for breeding purposes and for pets. In oss former they are bred to sell for

Ants Nests Divert Fashionable City

To vary the program the ants are made to engage in a pitched battle as one swarm is introduced into the nest of another. Invaders and invaded lock in fierce combat, and hastily improvised hospital and ambulance service for the injured is organized by the non-combatants. This idea was introduced into Paris society by well-known singer.
 Another innovation which is having an immense success is a dogs train ing college, which was opened in the most fashionable quarter of Paris. Here a society woman's dumb friend is lodged, fed, and educatetd in all that he should and should not do al the trifing fee of about $30 month, though day pupils are admitted at lower rate.
 Many graceful accomplishments are imparted in the course, which is dt vided into school and college grades, and diplomas are awarded on a cer tain standard of proficiency being at tained. It is jokingly said that the time-honored French polish is going to the dogs. I z

pets and so 1t all amounts to the same thing. As pets for children or for people who have no desire to raise chickens for practical purposes, the bantams have no superior. There Is TO present that will be so dear to the heart of a boy or as useful to him as a pen of bantams. Without anything to interest him at home outside of the inanimate objects of the play room, there are few boys, especially in the cities, who are not roaming around on the streets. In a pen of bantams a boy has an interest which keeps him hc1e and keeps him busy.

ELECTRIC TOYS THAT AMAZE
Few Examples of Piaythinos That VIII Open Eyes of 5oys-oIrIs
 Also Remembered.

Some of the electrical toys now on the market are actual wonders-work- ing models in reality of the big cleo trical equipments seen all about us, says the Popular Electricity. Here are Q few examples which will prove to be eye-openers to a great many boys who are not in position to visit the large electrical supply stores where such things are on exhibition:
 For instance, there is little steam ship CD complete in all its outward details, which is driven by a battery and motor concealed in its hull. It may be started. stopped or reversed from a small switchboard through . waterproof connecting cable.
 Then there is a small fan (2) which Is not a mere toy, but which will give

 Street lamps with real lights (s) and (6) operate from a battery.
 Complete electrically operated street cars CD, with electric head ligkt and any desired amount of track are obtainable, and if desired, this trask may be protected by electric block signals (4).
 The girls have also been remem- bered, and one of the things which interests them most is a complete electric range with cooking utensils which operates from the lighting cir cult, and which is capable of doing real cooking.

NEW YORK; large, ferocious, " bloodthirsty barbastel, which chir- opterous mammal is probably more familiar to you under its Latin nick name of Synotus Barbastellus, caused a panic among the one hundred em- ployes of Benjamin Fechter, cloth ing manufacturer, when it flew through a a'window of the loft the other morning at 10 o'clock, and bit, scratched, clawed and tore the hair, eyes, ears and noses of several of the men and women working at the ma chimes.
 The barbastel is generally insecti- vorous or frugivorous, and is a first cousin of the big-eared Mega-der-ma- gi-gis, which inhabits Australia. The barbastel in question, however, was decidedly carnivorous, and to judge from the way it tried to make ten course dinner from the physiognomy of Morris Binberg, one of the cutters, it had not eaten for several days.
 Binberg was the first one to see the barbastel as it flew into the shop. Binberg has nice fat cheeks and the barbastel made straight for the cut ter, who dived under his machine too late. The terrible animal caught him by the hair and Binberg started to do Marathon around the room, shriek- ing for help at the top of his lungs, while women tainted, and of course, it follows that strong men grew pale.
 The other employees ran out of the room in a panic, but as they couldn't

 The giant senator apparently took no notice of the assembled rubber necks," neither did he look at the bill of fare.
 Bring me a steak" James told the waiter, and that was all the plans or specifications for the steak that he furnished. The waiter seemed to un- derstand. Presently he returned with an amplitudinous leviathan of steak that appeared on the scorecard as special for three"
 That's the kind of steak that Ollie James can masticate with much glee, provided there are enough side dishes to whet his appetite.
 Do not get the impression, either, that the colossal statesman from Ken lucky is a glutton. The kind of a steak he eats is no more adequate food supply for him than a couple of lamb chops would be for the average five-foot-ten work-a-dsy citizens.
 A million years or so from now scientists with side whiskers will get hold of the skeleton of Ollie James and try to learn whether he lived be- fore or after the mound builders. But they will never find out

 It has long been the custom of women when attending a dinner or reception in honor of Cardinal Gib- bons to wear their most costly gowns and jewels, and it will require some change in the fashion of dinner gowns to conform to the new rule.

How Senator Williams Fought a Duel

~ COMPARATIVELY few seem to l. know that old John Sharp Williams once fought a duel.
 It was when John Sharp was over gn Germany attending Heidelberg uni versity. He and a German student sassed each other, and the German challenged him to cooperate with him in determining which one should die a premature death. John Sharp Will Hams, being the challenged party, had the choice of weapons. His op- ponent, forgetting all about his being an American, supposed he would pick sabers, just as any German would; but there was where John Sharp came along with a neat little joke. He said they would fight with United States army revolvers.
 The idea of shooting at a man with q Colts revolver two feet long was new to German dueling. and the na- tive student was a wreck when the morning arrived for them to kill on one another. John Sharp, on the other hand, ate heartily of ham and eggs, as the saying is, and seemed perfect ly composed when they toed them selves up for the opening shot. The German, with vibrant hand, fired on south by southeast of John Sharp, who purposely shot up toward spot about eight degrees to the left of the zenith.
 And having thus speedily completed the mornings entertainment, the prin- cipals shook hands and went their

Tn spelling we always occupied DO sitions at the foot of the class, but remember that on one occasion we spelled every word that came to us, and when the lesson was over we stood one, two, three. four, right at the head.
 'Then came the expose. Bill F1ck- lin told Miss Bennett we had stealth fly looked at the book each time we had to spell a word, and that was why we made such high average.
 "The fun began when school was dismissed. We set on F1cklin and gave him a good licking. The next day we were brought before the court, with Miss Bennett as the presiding judge. I told her that we licked F1ck- lin because he tattled on us, and to give me the whipping and let the other boys go. (This was not special heroism on my part. I got licking every day, anyway)
 'The other boys, with the exception of Bill Powell, put up a good talk Powell refused to say a word. This obstinacy aroused the simon-pure fighting spirit in Miss Bennett, who turned the rest of us loose and start ed on Bill. She gave him one of the best 'whalings' he had ever had in his life. He didn't awe her a bit. She had her dander up, and Bill got the full benefit of it."

The fact that each room contxins o

quickly. The fact is, The Albany is
now able to supply nearly every one
