At one time the Republicans of Chi.

ton which did not let the Republic
ans in. A parade had started off and
was well on its way-nearly to the
file closers-when q ward boss saw
that two lighted transparencies lacked
carriers. He looked around hurriedly
and noticed that one of his retainers
was idle. Here" he yelled, "shoul-
der this and get In line.' The shang-
haied recruit was gambler who
busted himself in ward politics on oc-
casions, but for the most stuck to his
trade when trade was possible. AS he
hoisted the lighted legend, open up
the mills and factories there was a
chorus of derisive yells from the side
walk: Never mind the mills. Open

Long time ago, at the ball game, the
little boys would sit outside the play
ing ground with the old men so that
the old men could tell them about the
plays, for each little boy believed that
when he grew older he would become
one of the best ball players the In
dams ever had.
And when the play grew exciting,
and some young fellow was carrying
the ball down the ground swift as
light, lodging among the players like
some strong~winged insect, the old
men would cry out:
There goes the bat-watch him
twist and turn" And when the young
man had lost the ball and the game
was no longer exciting, the little boys
would ask the old men to tell them
why the swift dodger was called the
bat. And the old men would say:
Once the animals and the birds
had a great dispute about which could
play ball best; and the dispute lasted
SO long that the only thing they could
do to stop it was to fix day for a
great game between them.
When that day arrived, the animals
all came together on broad meadow
near the river, and all the birds gath
cred in the tops of the trees close by.
For the animals, the Great Beaver was
captain, and on the way to the ball
ground he boasted about how strong
he was and what he would do to any
bird that tried to take the ball away
from him. To show how strong he
was, the bear threw big logs over his
shoulder.
And the Great Terrapin, who was
at that time as big as the bear. showed
how big and strong he was by rising
up and humping the earth until it
shook.
up in the trees, the birds chose the
Great Eagle for captain and the swift
hawk for lieutenant. Both of them
were brave and fine ball players, but
when the birds saw the Great Bear and

selves the terms of the marriage, and
then the girls parents give be-
trothal pledge to those of the BRIDE
groom, who soon after offer the pur-
chase price for the bride in silver,
jewels, stuffs, food, and so on. Each
of the girls parents also receives
some special personal gift.
On the day when the presents are
delivered all the relatives and friends
on both sides are invited to a series
of festivities and banquets, which last
several days, being furnished first by
one side and then by the other. The
eve of the actual wedding, which usu-
ally takes place week later, is spent
by the future husband and wife in a
vigil, without which it is thought that
great ill-fortune would follow.
Next day the happy couple, with
their parents and friends, appear be-
fore the priest, who duly unites them.
The procession then returns to the
house of the bride. where another big
feast is held At the close Of the
day two old women conduct the bride
groom to the bridal-room, where, on
a huge bedstead, amid a multitude of
pillows, holsters and coverlets, sits
the bride. For three days and three
nights the old women stay with them
The couple are hardly allowed to
speak, and any advances the bride
groom make make are, according to
etiquette, left unnoticed by the coy
bride.
After this somewhat trying ordeal
the old women discreetly retire. and
the happy pair are left alone to take
up the threads OF their new life.

the Great Terrapin, they were not sure
that they could defeat the animals.
While they talked about what they
could do to win, two little animals, no
bigger than mice, came creeping up
the tree and sat down in front of the
eagle. They told the eagle that they
wanted to play on the side of the birds.
But said the eagle, you have four
feet; you belong with the animals!S
Then the little creatures that the anil
mails had laughed at them for being
sc small and would not let them play;
and the eagle took pity on the tiny
fellows and said that he would let
them play. But how about wings?
They all studied about how to get
wings for the two little mouse-like
creatures, and then the hawk remem-
bered that they had a drum which
they used in the dance, and over the
head of this drum was stretched the
thin skin Of grounding. Why not
cut piece of that skin and stretch it
on cane splints in the shape of wings
and fasten the wings to the forelegs
of the little fellows?
$50 the birds gos one Of the little
mouse-like creatures fitted with the
wings cut from the head of the drum;
but then they found that they had used
all the grounding skin they had. And
to make the other little fellow ready
to play, some of the strong birds pulled
with their beaks at the skin between
its forelegs and it's hind legs until it
was so stretched that the little fellow
could sail right across from one tree
to another.
THE one with the wings, the birds
called the bat, and the other was
called the flying squirrel. And when
the ball game began, both the bat and
the flying squirrel helped to win for
the birds. And among all the players
the bat was best because he could
dodge better than any of the rest.

PUT NEW PUPIL IN BOYS EYE
One of Wonders of Modern Optical
Surgery Recently Performed
Many People Wear Glasses.

Every time you return from Europe
you are more impressed by the i'm
mense number of Americans who wear
eyeglasses. We are nation of spec
tacled people.
/ asked DR.. McCluney Radcliffe, who
in the last few years has examined or
operated upon 1900 eyes at the Wills
hospital, what single affiiction is re-
sponsible for most eyeglasses.
"Farsightedness," was his reply.
He told me also that the relative
number of persons who wear eye
glasses is increasing. As a matter Of
curiosity / subsequently counted the
specialized men who were sitting in
one large clubroom having lunch.
There were 20 of them, while but IS
wore none.
All kinds Of surgical science is i'm
proving, but none more rapidly than
that pertaining to the human eye. Not
long ago Doctor Radcliffe put a pew
pupil in the eye of boy who had been
suffering from an old injury.
The longer time which children must
now spend in school is believed 20 be
one important reason for the very
great number of young persons who
wear eyeglasses. But oculists insist
Tat while more people wear glasses,
the average sight OF all Americans is
now better than ever.
A similar thing is true OF the human
tooth. While far greater sum is now
paid to dentists than formerly, the
average tooth is much better than that
of our forefathers. Both eyes and
teeth used to be grossly neglected.
