WAVE STARS AND STRIPES.

Nave stars and stripes, wave wide
tonight!
And show to war cursed world.
Thy soul all white, as pure as light.
The emblem of peace unfurled.
Wave stars and stripes, wave wide
tonight!
Thy light to the nations give;
That they may see the way OF right,
And look on thee and live.
Wave stars and stripes, wave wide
tonight!
Let thy motto be for peace;
That men may loathe the way OF
might;
That war and strife may cease.
But stars and stripes, wave wide to-
night!
To shield thine own from harm;
From errors chains, from folly's
blight,
From the oppressors' heavy arm.
Wave stars and stripes, wave wide
tonight!
Bid American manhood rise
To defend its flag. its home, its
rights,
When honor is trampled, when JUS
tice cries.
Wave stars and stripes, wave wide
tonight!
Weir proud of thee as of old;
When thy glory was won by bloody
fight,
So hide not thy stars within tiny
folds.
Wave stars and stripes, wave wide
tonight!
No shame shall come on thee.
Wen protect thy right, with all our
might
On the land and on the sea.
Wave strs and stripes, wave wide
tonight!
Though we hear the battle cry,
Unfold thy red, thy blue, thy WHITE
And firt with the winds on high.
Wave stars and stripes, wave wide
tonight!
While the moon gives forth her
light,
That we may view thee with enrap-
tured sight
Wave stars and stripes. wave wide

Why He Was Out.

In the course of a cricket match
the other Saturday afternoon a rath-
err amusing incident was witness
ed.
One of the batsmen skied a ball
between the wickets. Two of the
fielders ran in to take the catch,
when the batsman lost his head.
Leaving his creases, he ran for
ward, swung his bat, and, at the risk
of cracking a couple of heads, made
a furious slash at the descending
ball.
"How's that, umpire?" was the
confident appeal of the fielding side.
out" was the reply.
what am 1 out for?" demanded
the batsman.
"Weel," responded the umpire,
grayely, "ye're out firstly for OBJ
structing the field; secondly, for hit
ting the ball twice, and, thirdly, for
making a conspicuous hass o yer
self.-London Tit-Bits.

country, Mr.. Robins said:
1--WE Progressives stand at the
crossroads. American social, in

goal of our generation in American
life.

The Amazons of Mexico.

With the new Mexican army, and
being made part of it as rapidly as
the stubborn Carranza can bring
them in, are 10000 women. who have
offered their services to their nation,
not as nurses, not as home guards,
but as fighters in the battle front,
side by side with their men, the
woman of the upper classes with her
husband, the pelada, who cannot at
ford marriage, with the unwed faith
err of her children.
II you think these women will not
fight, read back to the battles of the
Spaniards and the women of Tehuan-

ippines. He knows.-Harry IL,

Pop! Pop! Pop-pop! All around
him the soap-bubbles were bursting
and their riders vanishing, only to re-
appear presently astride other bub-
bles that came forth from the end OF
the pipe in most miraculous fashion.
Suds grinned I'm HUH" he
laughed. Il guess you are wondering
what happens when a bubble bursts
and you can't see why we don't fall
and break our necks, can you? Well,
my dear, we don't because we know
how to ride a bubble. Now IL you
tried It, I'm afraid-oh. well, when a
bubble bursts the Sprite astride 1t just
flaps his wings and flies, so quickly
that you cannot see him, back to the
pipe. And there he blows and blows
and blows until another bubble comes
out of the bowl-and then he hops
astride it and goes sailing away"
"But-I've never, never seen you
before and
Studs chuckled. ITO be sure you
haven't, my dear. Very few people ever
see us--and never unless they believe
in fairies. Sometimes. too. we crawl
along; but that's not near as much
fun as balancing yourself on top Of
them. Really. my dear. it's an art.
It's an art"
| Maybelle took a deep breath before
she spoke, because she was still
just a wee bit frightened. "Where-
where do you go when there aren't an~
bubbles?" she presently made bold to
ask
, oh" Studs replied. "we Just stick
around. And often the easiest place
to stick is to the soap that's stuck in
side the bowl Of the pipe! Have you
ever noticed my dear, that after
you've been blowing bubbles there's
always a little soap left inside the
rim OF the bowl? Well-gracious

voice. Look at this one, Bubble!"
Maybelle stared In the direction
from which the voice had come; and
there. sitting astride d big, fat soap
bubble was the Queerest little creature
she had ever seen. He wasn't any
where near as big as a minute-so
you can we'll imagine how small he
must have been. His legs were COW
cred by tights which seemed to be
of many colors, and his short Jacket
was dazzling red.
He had funny little cap on his
head, and from his shoulders a pair
Of wings like those on a butterfly
stuck out. His face was wrinkled and
old and yet. at the same time. the
1olliest. merriest one you could i'm
agine: you simply could not look at
him without laughing.
AS .he big soap-bubble hoated along
and turned round and round he
turned with It: that Is. he displayed
wonderful agility in always keep
ing on top of 1t. Sometimes, just for
the fun OF it. he'd see how close he
could come to falling off and still not
do so. He waved his hand and shout
ed again:
Look at this one, BUBBLE"
Maybelle looked in the direction he
had waved and, 10 and behold, there
was another of the strange creatures,
| also astride a soap-bubble. Only, his
| coat was the color of a peacock 8

as driven snow. faint as good as

vanished into thin air. as soap-bubble
always do.
Presently a shril voice right in
back of her laughed:
Here l am, my pretty Maybelle.
Here come a-sailing. a-sailing-!"
Maybelle wheeled about and, sure
enough, there was that self-same Bulb
BILE sitting astride another soap-bub-
BILE which, in some mysterious fash
ion. had detached itself from May
bellies pipe.
Now, that pipe was lying on the
bench. right by the side of the tin
pan, and she wondered how In the
world 1t could have blown another
bubble. But she was not in doubt for
long, for 1t blew another right before
her eyes! Why. would you believe 1t,
that pipe hoped into the suds. out
again and, presto, from it's bowl big

Day in Olden Times

Is very busy, for in the depths of the
woods he must dress and decorate his
many cows. in honor of the festival.
In Finland cows are MIXED three
times day, SO at twelve o'clock the
children see approaching a herd of
cows adorned in strange fashion.
Between their horns hangs a strip of
birchbark like a shield, painted in red
and green and yellow; while from
their horns depend queer ornaments.
Ono Is made from the wood OF the
juniper tree, a short stick from which
twigs are curved back at the ends into
four spikes. like a double claw
hammer. This all the year round will
be used In the homes as potato
masher. Another COW bears a twisted
"whisk" made Of willow flbres, and
this Is the new family egg-beater.
After the cows have been duly ad-
mired-and sometimes great artistic
ability Is lavished on the beasts by
the rustic craftsman-the assembled
children and older people are invited
into a kiosk or house made of birch
trees, built for this great occasion,
Thus in drinking of coffee and in eat
ing of cakes and sweet bread a pleas
ant hour passes and then the process
sion of children starts for home, gaily
dancing as they decorate themselves
with the birchbark strea which
had previously bedecked the cows.

sentence came Pop.--and Suds and
the bubble upon which he had been

as belonging to Suds) right behind

too; but. strange to relate, while she
could see that she was holding him
in her hand she couldn't feel him az

Shall we tease Maybelle any

chievous twinkle in his eye. cor shall
tell her who and what we are? En-?
Yes, she's a right good little MINK
and she does love to blow soap bub-
bles. So I guess we'd better tell her."
With that he hoped right out Of

sounded like water ripping over
