AS soon as an Oklahoma farmer got
off train at the Cotton Belt railway

mark the exact location of the depot
he left his carpetbag lying upon the
sidewalk in front OF the building. He
then walked up Commerce street sew
eral squares to the postof6ce to buy
stamp While there he displayed
his roll. about $500. He was asked
By we'll dressed stranger to change
q $40 bill. The we'll flied wallet was
produced for the second time and the
stranger advised the farmer that he
should be careful in carrying such a
large sum about the streets of Dallas.
You should carry it in a little box
and keep it right in your hand"
The stranger then went across the
street and purchased two boxes. Into
one OF them he placed the money of
the farmer He then switched the boxes
without his victim seeing the trick. A
hurried excuse and the farmer was
left standing in the postofice corridor
for about an hour, Realizing that be

with him in vain search for the con-
idence man.
The Cotton Belt depot was returned
to and the carpetbag found to have
not beeu molested. The man borrowed
enoug money to pay his way home.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Game of Flowers.

There is a game similar to London
bridge" called flowers" TO play
II two children stand opposite each
other and raise their Joined hanos
Those forming the ring pass under
while all keep saying or singing suit
ing the action to the words:
We're looking round for roses reo'
Roses red. roses red;
We're looking round for roses reo'
And we've found one here.
At the word here" the raised arms
come down and inclose the head OF
child who happens at that moment te
be passing underneath their hands
Then all sing:
We've found one here: we've found one
here,
red ripe rose, red ripe rose;
We've found one here; we've found one
here.
Aid we are happy.
The rose then takes the place OF one
of the two who caught her, and she
calls out daisy" Daisy then becomes
the word to use instead of rose In the
verses. Every one caught calls out the
name of some flower, which is substi
tuted in the song The game goes OF
until every child has had chance tf
be caught The rest of the game pro
ceeds as in London bridge"

What Would Happen?


presented a page by Mark Sullivan,
the subject being: The Assault ID
( the Senate. This assault comes from
many sources, the purpose being. to
! influence the senator's as to their
duty in favoring or in opposing
legislation. The greatest activity Is
being directed against free sugar, as
advocated by the Democrats and as
favored by President Wilson.
As said by Senator Thomas from
Colorado, what would happen
shall your senators desert the
ranks at this crisis bAeause the
monopoly of the Sugar Trust IS
threatened? If they surrender, why
not those from New Jersey, from
Missouri, from Oregon? Why should
not every one of US yield to the call
of his home community, throw the
common interest aside, remand the
consumer to his ancient burdens,
take Aldrich as our Moses, and con-
fess that we are a party of hypo-
critics and liars? God pity party
which quaiis and falters when con-
fronted with the crisis of a great
opportunity. He alone can save a
people who are abandoned at such
a time.
"Gentlemen, let me assure you
that if the Underwood bill is not
enacted there will be no tariff legls-
lation. Do you want no tariff legis-
lation? If some Democratic SEN
ators repudiate one schedule of du-
ties, other Democratic senator's will
repudiate other schedules If the
waters of discord and division begin
to trickle through the barriers, the
floods will sweep them all away If
we yield to opportunities of privi-
legged interests in one direction, they
will compel surrender in all dlrec-
tons. If Senator Shafroth and |
demand what some timid and well
meaning people call the salvation of
sugar, may not the senators from
Montana demand the salvation of
wool, the senator's from Oregon the
salvation of lumber, the senators
from Florida the salvation of citrus
fruits, the senators from Maine and
New Hampshire the salvation of the
wooden mills? - The constitu-
ents of these gentlemen are elamor-
ing for these things as loudly and
with as much reason as you are
elamoring for sugar. What will you
say, what will you think of them. if
they yield to the pressure? What
will their constituents say and think
of us if we haul our eolors down?
Let me go one step further. If we
adjourn without the enactment of a
tariff measure, what will you think
of your party? What will the ma
tons verdict be? : We would
not only be swept out of power at
the next election, but destroyed ut
terly. And we would deserve our
fate"
As. observed by Golfers, IF the
Democratic party should fail, it
would be a moral debacle. Every
newspaper and public man in Eu-
rope would point to us as nation
of hypocrites and liars; and at
home, both as nation and as indi-
viduals. we should suffer lapse in
our self-respeet which, wholly apart
from social and economic conse-
quences, would be disastrous to- our
public and private moral"

When the present school term con-

UNIFORMS NEEDED
FOR BOAT DRILLS
Scouts in Plain Clothing Will
Not Be Admitted at Naval
Battalion.

Scouts who wish to take part in the
Naval Battalion boat drill on Sunday
afternoons must report in uniform
hereafter or they will not be allowed to
enter the boats, as several boys, have
been able to get places by falsely pre-
tending to be scouts. Each boat is in
command Of a petty officer of the bat
tchon, and these drills are proving more
popular every week.
Last Sunday forty-eight scouts report
ed for drill, and a larger attendance is
expected today if the weather is good.
In case the attendance increases so
that there will not be room for all the
boys who report for drill, preference will
BE- given those who attend the Monday
night school of sea scouting at the
Naval Battalion. Every Boy Scout in
the District is invited to these two
weekly meetings. Commander Dempf is
arranging to have competent officers
give q series of lectures on alternate
Monday nights.
