MEN REPORTED LOST
DID NOT LEAVE HERE

That two of the three deserving SOL
diers reported lost in the wreck of the
Chilean bark Carelmapu near Cape
Flattery, recently are alive has be-
come known here.
Two of the trio. Thomas Shay and
Frederick w. Johnson, of the Coast
Artillery, were arrested in this city
for desertion after the bark sailed
from this port. The men we're named
in news dispatches as lost with the
ship, probably owing to the fact that
for time, before they we're located In
this city, it was thought they had
shipped on the boat, and a cable was
sent to Fort Worden to arrest them
on arrival at Port Townsend
The third man, Robert Mehner.
Company /, 1st Infantry, has not yet
been found, and may have been on
the Inflated vessel.

Ancient Artisans In Africa.

The question has often been asked:
Was there any earlier race in occupa-
ton of the area in Africa at present
held by the Bantus? In Man w. H.
Beech reports that In the Kikuyu coun-
try some ancient pottery has been said
to be the work of people called Gum
ba, who displaced the Miathoachiana,
cannfbal dwarfs.
These Miathoachiana are now be-
lieved to be earth-gnomes, skilled in
the art of iron working. Mr.. Beech,
with some amount of plausibility, sug-
gests that they were possibly bush
men, pygmies, or both, and that they
were local indigenous race Of the
stone age who used flint implements
often found in the Kikuyu country.
The Gumba are said to have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu
the art of smelling. They may have
been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but
of this there Is no evidence and the
legend may tend to show that the
first discovery of iron was made in
Africa.

Reminded Him,

Mr.. Highbrow, who posed as an arbi-
ter of taste, looked round the tiers of
boxes at the opera house the other
evening and said:
Il suppose, if woman's shoulders
are very beautiful, she has right, a
moral right, to wear a very decollete
gown. At the same time"
Mr.. Highbrow chuckled and shook
his head.

'the fashionable woman of today re-
minds me of the prophet"

"How so?"
"She hasn't much on 'er in her own

ONE fourth He
REALLY enjoyed
Tommy's Time of Happiness
That Stayed With Him for
;, Many Days.

"Sh-s-wee; sh-s-wee!" squeaked the
saw, as it gnawed its way slowly into
a knotty limb.
1t was hot day, and the saw was
dull, and the boy was a mite OF fell
low.
"Sh-s-wee; sh-s-wee!" And all the
while the thoughts of the boy were
surging out to the other boys, who
were exploding torpedoes and crackers
on the village streets, and to the big
parade at midday and the fireworks
in the evening
AS soon as this limb and three 9TH
ers were done, he would be free to 60.
He looked at them critically, and cal
culated how long it would take.
He would not have any torpedoes or
crackers to explode, but he could look
at those of the other boys and listen
to the noise And it would not matter
so very much if they did laugh at his
clothes. Fourth of July didn't come
very often, and he could stand a little
jeering for the pleasure of the holt
day.
He did not feel any pity for himself,
or think it hard that he must go into
the woods every morning to gather
limbs, and then spend the greater part
of each day cutting them into convent
ent pieces for the stove; but he did
feel sorry that his mother could not
spare half day from her washing and
ironing, or even time to 60 out with
him to listen to the delightful snap
ping Of the torpedoes and crackers,
At last there was sufficient wood for
the day, and with bounding heart but
shrinking form he stole along the side
walks, watching and listening eagerly,
though keeping himself as much as
possible in the background. Up and
down one street after another he
moved, finally pausing at a yard that
was delightfully."- noisy with explosives.
The tight board fence was too high
to peep over without raising himself
on tiptoes, but the gate was several
inches lower. Here he stopped and
caught his breath at sight of a boy
holding lighted match to a giant
cracker.
The boy was Roy Green, the doctors
son, and with him were Bobby and
baby Edith. He knew them all by
sight, and his eyes shone with admi.
ration at the cool composure with
which Roy was doing his lighting.
He had never been spoken to by
Roy. His heart gave a sudden bound
at a cordial: Hello, there, Tommy!
Won't you come in and help US fire
these things Off"
Tommy fairly gasped at the idea,
and his gaze stole rapturously to the
crackers lying about the ground, and
to the big box Of torpedoes
1t was strange, incomprehensible
He did not know that the night before
Doctor Green had made out list for
the parade, choosing war veterans in
stead of prominent men to fill the con.
spicuous places, and that he had spok

ooh, yes, teacher; I should see It

Daisy's eyes filled with tears, but
suddenly she exclaimed triumphantly,

en- of Tommy's father as being one of
the brave men who had died fof the
country.
When the crackers and torpedoes
were exploded, and Tommy was turn
ing back toward the gate, Roy caught
him protestingly by the arm.
Look here, Tommy" he cried; you
mustn't leave us this way. We're go
ing to have a game of croquet, and
then mamma will have lunch for us in
the summer house. After that we'd
like to have you in our carriage in the
parade. | know papa will be pleased
He said your father was in his com.
pany, and that he was one of the best
men. It's right that you should be
in the parade. And we'd like to have
you go with us to the fireworks this
evening, too. Papa has charge of them,
you know, and maybe he'll let us help
a little"
So Tommy remained and played Gro.
quet, and had lunch with them in the
summer house, and went with them in
the parade.
Then he hurried home and told his
mother about it, but returned in time
to help carry the fireworks to the
square in front of the courthouse, and
to assist in placing skyrockets and
mines and pin wheels in position for
firing, and to do many of those impor-
tant things, which SO delight the heart
of boy.
And his conspicuous position in the
proceedings of the day so impressed
the other boys that they ceased to jeer
him from that time on, and took him
into their games as comrade in
good standing.

now that she would have the warmest
of sympathizers in Susie.
AS she passed along, musing over
her trouble, wan, unhappy little face
looked out at her from one of the win
dows; so serious was it that she
thought it, at first, that of an old per-
son. Then it flashed suddenly upon
her that it was Dick Marville, the
scrubwoman' little boy, who had been
thrown from his sled while coasting
and had been helplessly paralyzed. AS
she hurried on she wondered what it
must mean to be boy Of ten and
housed like that on the fourth of
July; a warm wave of sympathy swept
over her, and when she reached Su-
sizes house, instead of pouring into her
laid a little plan before her. She
knew that the Montgomerys always
had splendid fireworks in the eve
ming. What treat it would be for
Dick if he could see them!
Susie, won't you let me drive your
dogcart down to the village and bring
poor little Dick Marville up here to
see the fireworks? He isn't having
any Fourth at all, and it must be
dreadfully dull for a boy"
why, you dear Peggy, it will be
splendid" And so, instead of griev-
ing over a miserable quarrel, Peggy
spent the next few hours in the hap
piest work she had ever done.
Indeed, Maurice Arnold was little in
her thoughts-not half so much as she
was in his, for he was having an un-
happy time of II. That evening as he
passed down Main street on his way
home he was surprised to see Susie
Montgomery's dogcart at the curb
near Dick Marville's home, and Peg
gy, with the happiest expression on
her face he had ever seen, lifting a
pale, but radiant, child from the cart.
1t seemed providential that he should
meet her thus With one bound he
sprang forward.
Peggy, that child is too heavy for
you; let me carry him in" and with
out waiting for her answer he took
the boy from her and passed into the
house.
Peggy stood waiting; she couldn't
very well hurry away without thank
ing him; it would be so rude
In few moments he was out again,
and helping her gently into the cart,
he sprang in beside her and drove
toward the Montgomerys'.
After a moment Peggy spoke: ITO
think that poor little Dick Marville
should have brought us together like
this!"
And Maurice replied: at wasn't
Dick, Peggy; it was your tender SYM
patty for one in trouble"

CELEBRATED HIS
PRIVATE Fourth
How Grandfather Watts ReCog-
nized Day of Signing of In
dependence Declaration.

Grandfather Watts used to tell US
boys
That a Fourth want a Fourth with
out any noise.
He would say, with thump of his
hickory stick,
That 1t made an American right down
sick
To see his sons, on the Nations Day,
Sit round in a Iistless sort of way,
With no Grafton and no train band,
No firework show and no root-beer
stand,
While his grandsons, before they were
out of bibs,
Were acknowledgment Scott! to fire
off squibs.
And SO each independence morn,
Grandfather Watts took his powder
horn,
And the fintlock-sun his father had
When he fought under Schuyler, a
country lad,
And Grandfather Watts would start
and tramp
Ten miles to the woods at Beaver
Camp;
For Grandfather Watts used to say
and scoWi-- ,..
That a decent chipmunk, or wood
chuck, or owl
Was better company, friendly or shy,
Than folks who didn't keep Fourth OF
July.
And so he would pull his hat down on
his brow,
And march for the woods, SOU cassidy
SOU!
But once-ah! long, long years ago,
For qrandfather's gone where good
men GO
One hot, hot Fourth, II ways of our
own,
Such short cuts as boys have always
known.
We hurried, and followed the dear old
man
Beyond where the wilderness began
To the deep, black woods at the foot
of the Hump,
And there was clearing and stump
And there on the stump our grandfath
er stood,
Talking and shouting out there In the
sun,
And firing that funny old fiintIock-eur
Once in a minute, his head all bare,
Having his Fourth of July out there
The Fourth of July he used to know
Back in eighteen and twenty or so.
First, with his face to the heavens
blue,
He read the "Declaration" through;
And then, with gestures to left anc
right,
He made an grafton erudite,
Full of words six syIlabIes long;
And then our grandfather broke int
song,
And, soaring the squirrels in the trees
Gave "Hail Columbia" to the breeze.
And tell you the old man never hearc
When we joined in the chorus, wore
for word!
But he sang out strong to the bright
blue sky;
And if voices joined in his Fourth o.
July
He heard them as echoes of days gone
by.
And when he had done, we all slipped
back,
As still as we came, on our twisting
track,
While words more clear than the flint
lock shots
Rang in our ears. And Grandfather
Watts?
He shouldered the gun his father bore
And marched off home, nor west-b>
