Sending Off After 1t.
From the Triton Gazette.

That is a great game, sending off after it," but
you would be surprised to learn the number of
players.
The following from the Jacksonville Metropolis
is an illustration:
I'VE ali love a good joke. Recently there
was prize offered of $50 in gold to the person
attending Jacksonville public schools who
would write the best essay why people of
jacksonville should ask for and always buy
goods made in Jacksonville. There were 218
essays-and yet when the school officials who
had in charge the purchase of the commence
ment invitations went to buy the printing they
had to send to Ohio for it! The Chamber of
Commerce, when it offers prizes for essays from
the school children in the future, ought to have
the essay read to school officials first"
The Metropolis treats the matter as joke, but
in reality it is very serious. Leaders in education
they supposed to be leaders in thought. If
they set the example of sending off for things they
get just good and just cheap at home
what may We expect of the great mass of the public
supposed to be OF less intelligence, less public
spirited and with less devotion to local institu-
tions?
There are good many people in every town.
city who think that when they want anything
they must send off after it, in order to get the
best. They usually get stung, paying a higher
price than they would have had to pay at home and
getting poorer article
There is one thing we have never been able to
understand, and that is why the majority of schools
order their diplomas, invitations, etc.. incident to
commencement from out-of-town. In all towns
and cities where there is not an engraving plant
if engraving must be had, the local printer has
LnS agency lot an engraving SSLdDllSnu1enL being
a high class printer himself and having reputa-
ton to maintain he represents high class engrav
ing establishment and cannot only save the school
authorities money but give them better grade of
printing. However, nine times out of ten the en-
craving order is not given to the local printer but
to some mail order establishment
The same is true of wedding announcements and
invitations only more SO.
Then there is always the firm that puts half of
its capital in Autographed stationery.
Here is the way the send off after it, game is
played
The smaller cities and towns send to Jackson
Vile for their announcements, invitations etc, ig
noring the home man.
The people in jacksonville send to Atlanta, Lou
isville, Cincinnati st. Louis ignoring the home
The people in these cities send to New York and
Chicago.
The people in New York and Chicago send to
London, Paris or Berlin.
The people in London, Paris and Berlin perhaps
do without.
1t is a merry ring around the rosy" in which
all lose but the first loss falls the home printer
The home is always the goat.

A Memory of Boyhood.

"The boys are now holding up two fingers" says
an exchange.
We wonder if that expressive sign Is practiced
these days by the small boys 1t meant, Lets go
swimming" 1t was given on the the sly, for it was
not always permissible to go Tin washing in those
fair and innocent days. Besides, there was a sort
of modesty in the sign, which could be made in the
presence OF the girls.
There was always a thrill at the sight of two
fingers which really suggestive of the legs OF
happy boys cavorting in the clear waters of the old
swimming hole The sign represented a mutual joy,
which easily awakened affirmative answer. There
was romance in it not awakened by verbal invi-
ttion, and it carried into the event divine fancy
that was almost proof against parental discovery
or reproOf
We "old boys" are descending the sunset slopes
but if some chum of boyhood days would flash two
fingers in our face we might be down at the
creek sloshing about in its limpid waters

Firehies as Hair Orn aments
From the Indianapolis News.

The cool weather and heavy rains have delayed
somewhat the arrival of the usual crop of beetles,
but veteran observers remark that the number of
this great insect family will be none the smaller
because of this delay. Beetles of the best
known groups of insects and one of the most ex-
tensive.
There are of this insect eighty families, with more
than II 900 species in this country and Canada.
Two of the most interesting species of beetles, es
peciay interesting to children, the lady bug
and the FREELY The ladybug, small hemisphere
cal beetle red or yeow-backed, with white red
or yellow spots, feeds almost exclusively on plant
lice and scale insects, and should be encouraged by
fruit growers as insects most beneficial to man.
Firefes are here, and may be seen flashing
their lamps over the lawns soon after shutdown
The luminous organs of this insect situated in
the undersde of the last few segments of the body,
and the light is Intermittent
The story is told of an EngliShman an Ohio
river steamboat, misaking the flashing light of the
frehies above the water for sparks from the boats
chimneys. He had seen anything like that
the old country and greatly distressed, fear
ing that the firing" too strong, and that this
display would certainly be followed by a blOwup.
The frefies of the West Indies and South America
are nearly two inches long, and emit so bright a
light that Cuban women sew them into little lace
bags and use them ornaments for dresses and
their hair.

WOULD HAVE NO CONGREGATION NOW.

From the Troy (Ala.) Messenger.
The people often complain if a preacher runs
over thirty minutes in his The Bible tells
us that st. Paul preached long toward midnight
night and that fellow sitting in the third story
window went to sleep, fell out and they all thought
he was dead. 1t was discovered that he not
dead, so the party returned to the room and st.
Paul continued the sermon. The people of today
need to get the patience and earnestness of the peo
pie of these olden days and they could then sit as
long for a they now can for any form
of entertainment.

HIS JOB ON THE FARM.

From the Savannah News.
We note in an exchange that farmer up North
hired a man last summer late one evening. After
they came to an agreement the shown
upstairs to his room and bed About three o'clock
in the morning the farmer called the man and told
him to get up and come and help him cut field
of oats He woke up and looked out of the window
and saw it lacked couple of hours until daylight
and he said to the farmer: what kind of oats are
yours wild or tame?" The farmer said they were
tame The man replied eff they are tame what's
the use of shining UP them in the dark?o

What Naturalization Means.

In tho ouisville Courier-Journal a mastery def
ition and delneation of naturalization is afforded
nv one of Mr. Wattersons always interesting edito-
rails Moved by recent pro-German manifestations
and widespread discussion to the German
Americans duty in event of armed conflict be-
tween this republic and the emperors domain Mr..
Watterson uses the opportunity to explain that
Naturalization places foreign-born persons
in exactly the same legal position as native
Americans. The chief concern of republican
government is to guarantee liberty. the nat
uralized citizen has exactly the same guaran-
tees which the American born citizen mas and
regards rightly, as a priceless heritage 1t
is not an empty boast that in America every
citizen is a sovereign" and none knows TINS
better than the naturalized German, who has
opportunities and rights in America Whlcn ne
never hoped to acquire in Europe
Citizenship does not descend upon the alien
like the rain from the clouds, or blow upon
him and enyelop him like a Vagrant breeze:
He gains it after period of probation ana
through the medium of an oath by winch ne
undertakes definite obligations. No German
who has become naturaized and son of a
naturalized German has any greater moral
right to be disloyal or lukewarm in his loyalty
to the American flag than has a native Ken
tuckian
Every German-American in the United States
would do well to read these sensible utterances oil
one of this country's foremost newspaper figures
"A naturalized American is an American. The desig
nation of German-American is convenient and use
full as a designation, but not as anything else
When crises come man is either an American OF
he is not. He cannot be merely hyphen.
And, too, as Mr.. Watterson's trenchant pen points
out he may repatriate himself. That may be for
given, though such desire might be hard to under
stand.
But the one unforgivable thing is disloyaty.
That attribute is not lovabe one under any cir
cumstances and at time like this it is despicable
and cowardly.
