their papa concluded to take her
to Colorado Springs.
And ais there was no one to stay
with the children, they went too.
They lived in Maine, and you
know Colorado is a long way from,
Maine.
At first the children were home
sick but mama begun ito get better
right away and papa was so glad
lthey tried not to say anything a.
bout how hom esick they were.
But papa, knew, and so one
morning when they looked out OF
the window, what was their joy to
see tied to the hitching post
two little burros, with great flap
ping ears, all saddled and bridled.
What a scurrying there was then,
each trying to get there first.
Dolly was afraid OF Job which
was the name of her burro. Jer-
ry named his burro Dan. But the
little animals were so, gentle that
the children soon lost all fear of
them, and, they soon had great
fun riding with the other children
for most of them, had burros, too.
But there was one thing about
JOB which Dolly did not like. He
would sing. The first time he
struck UP tune Dolly nearly tum-
bled off his back.
And the worst of it was hewpuld
stop right in the street, plant his.
forefeet firmly on the ground and.
refuse to- move until his song was
finished.
The boys enjoyed the songs OF
their burros AM thought it great
| fun to hear them, but Dolly felt
dreadfully ashamed whenever Joe
set UP a tune when she was ON
his back.
But in spite of their music the
children had no end of fun with
Joe and Dan, and We're sorry when
the tune came when they must
leave them and go back to their
home in Maine

call the burros "canaries" because

Passengers on LapIand Given Big
Scare.
NEW YORK, N. Y-The battleship
Connecticut is anchored off the New
Jersey highlands, about four miles
east of the Navesink lighthouse. No
information as to the reason for the
vessel being held in this vicinity is
forthcoming. At Brooklyn navy yard
it was stated that any orders to the
Connecticut had been transmitted di-
rect from Washington.
The Connecticut was one of the feet
of dreadnaughtS sailing from here for
target practice at sea. There is con-
siderable conjecture over the Con-
necticut being left behind.
1t is significant that the sudden
change in orders to the Connecticut is
timed with the reported approach to
American waters of the German u
boat flotilla. 1t is pointed out that with
the sailing of the Atlantic fleet for
southern waters no battleships of the
dreadnaught class would be left in
this vicinity.
Allied Ships Reach Port.
Four passenger vessels and nine
freighters flying the flags of the al
lies, have reached port without hav-
ing sighted any of the German U-boat
f1otilla that is believed to be off these
shores.
All reported receiving the wireless
warning sent out by the British from
their station at Hamilton, Bermuda,
and stated that extra lookouts were
Immediately posted and all lights
carefully blanketed.
Passengers on the Lapland, of the
White Star line, said they were sure
the liner had struck and sunk a sub
marine in the early hours of Sunday.
Some of them were thrown out of
their berths by the shock Captain

the passengers were mistaken.

eff VIC had hit submarine, the
shock to the Lapland would have been
so slight that the passengers would
not have felt it." added an officer.
I'VE had rough weather Sunday and
the Lapland probably smashed into a
big sea and shook up the passengers
a little.''
No further word regarding the al
legged coming of the U-bOats reached
the office of the British consul gen
eraI here. An official pointed out that
the only absolute evidence of the
presence of U-boat off these shores
would probably be the sinking of some
merchant vessel.
Scores of British cruisers, doing
patrol duty beyond the three-mile linn
it, are awaiting for submarines and
some OF the passengers who arrived
said they saw several cruisers within
twenty-five miles of Sandy Hook.
U-Boats Sighted.
Reports were made to the British
and Italian consulate by the masters
of the Buca D'Aesta, the NapOli, the
Pamnonia, the Bermudian, Lapland
and several freight steamers that
U-boats had been sighted.
The Laconia, of the Cunard line,
and the Tuscomia, of the Anchor line,
are due in New York but their arrival
before Wednesday is improbable on
account of the wide detour they have
been ordered to give the American end
of the transatlantic lanes.
