MOTOR BOATS By GEORGE FITCH

A motor boat is a small, fraIl vessel,
AFFLICTED with a gasoline engine and an
amateur mechanic. When the engine is
in full cry and the mechanic is making
threats, the boat sometimes develops
speed Of fifty miles an hour in its
efforts to get away from both Of them.
Motor boats are used by men fond
Of machinery, and keep them from taking
more valuable things apart and repair
ing them. When a man has a motor boat
and two bushels Of tools he is perfectly
happy and will not stay at home Sundays
and attempt 10 dissect the plumbing or
repair the furnace or tune the piano or
revive the door bell. A very small boat
with an engine in II two sizes larger
than an alarm clock will keep two
strong men busy all summer and will
even prevent them from adding TO the
horrors Of a Presidential campaign by
talking politics-for motor boats take pre-
cedence over politics or the cost OF liv-
ing when two boat owners are convers-
ing.
A motor boat is very simple. unlike
an automobile and can be started very
readily by putting in a new spark plug,
adjusting the vibrator, replacing the
carburetor, repairing the feed pipe, tight
ening the propeller, renewing the bat
teries and straining the water out OF
the gasoline. When this Is all done the
boat viii start Immediately and proceed
with the utmost cheerfulness to a point
IN miles from civilization, at which
place II will go into a state OF coma
for the rest Of the day. The man who
tries to navigate any motor boat. no
matter how expensive, without an
auxiliary engine in the shape OF a stout
oar, is not wise
Some motor boats are very powerful

,rode.tr and Modern Girl.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Addressing an audience OF girls at
the charities conference. Miss BeuIah
Kennard made this declaration:
Twentieth century girls are less
modest than any since the days OF
Louis XVI"
Not many years ago the modesty OF
the shrinking violet, which was ass0-
ciated with tImIdity and expressed by
demurely downcast eyes, was a model
followed by young women OF that Pc
riOd. They were expected to faint at
moments OF stress, and II Is 10 be pre-
sumed that they did.
Painting has gone out Of fashion.
The telephone girl in the Austin flood
who stuck to her switchboard. sending
out warnings to the people Of the town
while she herself faced death. was no
exception to the rule OF these times.
The level gaze OF the unafraid has
displaced downward glsnces OF timid
modesty. 4 few years ago public
speaking by girls at public gatherings
and the sort OF athletics now common
in colleges for women would have been
thought immodest.
1t may be, as Miss Kennard says. thaG
girls show less modesty than their sis
ters OF other times. but who Is there
who says that twentieth century
girls" and their standards are less ad-
mired and less worthy Of GdmIrationf

PhilAdslphiA Dispatch to New York Press
Rev. DR.. J. B. Ely, In charge Of the

Congregation OF more than 1000 persons

hear voice scattered here and there
He tried again. and invited every person
familiar with America" 10 come to the
stage. The children responded. Then
he tried again to have the audience
sing. There wasn't a sound from the
adults, only the voices OF the children be-
ing heard, In desperation DR.. Ely re-
quested the American-born members of
the congregation TO stand. More than
70 per cent OF the audience arose. Then
the attention OF the audience was called
to the fact that the words Of the anthem
were printed in the regular programme.
and DR.. Ely managed to get some volume

WHERE CHILDREN OBEY.
Courtesy to the Elders Makes the
German Home Ideal.
From Home LIE in Germany" by Mrs. Alfred
sdgwick

From Home Life in Germany" By Ms. Alfred
sidEwick.
AS a rule German children Of all classes
are treated as children and taught the
elementary virtue OF obedience Das
Of the people, but nevertheless Germany
is one OF the few remaining civilized
countries where the elders will have
rights and privileges. I heard Of an Eng
lish woman the other day who said that
she had never eaten the wing Of a chick
en-, because when she was young II was
always given to the older people, and now
that she was old 1t was saved for the
children. II she lived in Germany she
would stiu have a chance, provided she
kept away from a small loud set who in
all matters Of education and morality
would Ike to turn the world upside down.
In most German homes the noisy,
spoiled American cLild would not be en-
dured for moment. and the little ty-
rant of a French family would be taught
Of all concerned. I have dlned with a
large family where eight young ones
OF various ages sat at an overflow table
and did not disturb their elders by a
sound. 1t was not because the elders
were harsh or the young folks repressed.
but because Germany teaches its youth
to behave.
The little girls still drop you a pretty
old fashioned courtesy when they greet
you. The little boys, II you are stay
ing In the house with them, come and
shake hands at unexpected times-when
they arrive from school, for instance,
and before they go out for a walk.
They play the same games as English
children, and I need hardly say that
they are brought up on the same fairy
stories, because many OF our fsvorites
come from Germany

A Determined Teacher.

Prom Exchange.
Miss Minnie Hickok is a Montana school
teacher and opened a school term under
peculiar circumstances. Upon arriving at
a town, the terminus OF a railroad. she
found that the stage would not leave
that day on account Of the washing out
Of a bridge across the river. She had
given her word that she would open
school on Monday and she determined 10
make II good. even II she had TO continue
her journey on foot and swim the streams.
All there was left OF the bridge was a
single stringer, but the plucky school
teacher stepped on this and walked across
the raging river. On the other side she
luckily met a camping party and from
them she borrowed horse and after rid-
ing sixty miles over a rough mountain
road arrived in time to open school on
Monday.

engines as il takes the United States
Senate to get heated up over a bribery
investigation, but when they are once
in action the boat presents an inspiring
sight as It leaps from wave to wave,
throwing vast sheets or water on either
side and sinking gloriously two miles
from help. These boats are not COM
Portable, having only room for a me-

Canada Has Fox Farms.

Canada row has a number OF farms on
which endeavors are being made to emu
late Mr.. Bowerman, and he gets a large
portion OF his income from selling his
animals alive. A pair will bring $4,000.
The cost Of rearing foxes is chiefly in
the first investment, for the ground must
be wired high and close, with an over
hang like a big. inward roof extension: /:
and 1t calls for similar wire carried down
two feet into the ground and then a
couple Of yards inward horizontally Rey-
nard is always a very unwilling captive
able to climb and dig so well that only
the utmost precautions suffice TO retain
him.
Any attempt to breed the more val
liable variety means the investment OF
thousands Of dollars, but tho common
red fox Is within the most modest capt.
tai. The feed is cheap. Breeders used
to pay well for supplies Of beef liver,
boiled and shredded: but common meat
and table scraps have been found 70 be
good enough. Norton, in Maine. keeps
his animals on plain Johnnycake, baked
with q crust. He says that they thrive
on IT, and, besides, the females, which
are prone TO kill their young, are not
nearly so bloodthirsty on that simple
diet.
They breed only once a year, dropping
the litter, numbering from two to eight,

IN injunction or restraining order
vas presented TO the Wake County
Board Of Commissioners prohibiting
The Board from accepting and ratify
Ing the returns from the special tax
election held at Wake Forest June
18th. The defendants are cited to ap
pear before Judge Ferguson next
Monday to show cause why the tenn
porary order should not be made
permanent. The order was signed by
Judge Bragaw
Thus the famous special tax case
from Wake Forest was transferred
10 the courts at one fell blow. The
burden of proof will be really Shift
ed from the Commissioners to those
layoring the special tax and the two
factions at Wake Forest will fight it
out before a Superior Court Judge.
The complaint alleges that the pc
ltion which was presented to the
commissioners asking for a special
election of Is cents on the hundred
dollars and As cents on the poll was
signed by less than one-fourth of the
feeholders of the school district and
mat only 1 of the 1876 names to the
petition were freeholders.
1t was further alleged that ten per-
sons had been wrongfully challenged
ana that the names of eight persons
were erased illegally from the regis
ration books. Another allegation
was that negroes who could not read
ana write were allowed to vote.

FATHERS.

"Six things" says Hamilton, "are
requisite to create a home. Integ-
rity must be the architect, and tidi-
ness the decorator. 1t must be warm
ed by affection, lighted up by cheer
fitness; industry must be the venti-
lator, renewing the atmosphere and
bringing in fresh salubriety day by
day; while over all, as a protecting
glory and canopy, nothing will suf-
fee except the blessing of God" Sew
eral years ago, this clipping came to
my notice, and as time passes, the
beauty and strength of the combina-
ton, husband and wife working to-
gether under the canopy of Gods
blessing, have grown upon me. 1t
should be no one-sided affair. The
industry of one will not atone for
the lack of integrity in the other, nor
any amount of good humor on the
part of one make amends for the loss
of affection on the others part while
a disjointed, mangled method of liv-
ing cannot in the very nature of
things evoke or draw down upon it
self the rich blessing of the Father,
whose very being is love, justice and
order.
AS books are dedicated, hospitals
and orphanages set apart for special
use, as churches are consecrated, so
every home should be sanctified, and
the dedicatory prayer should read
somewhat after this manner: Faith
er of all, may this house shelter
happy family, may it be the dearest
spot on earth to all the household,
and may one of the many mansions
in the better country at last receive
all who belong to this one."
