SAVAGE ATHLETICS.
Canary Islanders Who Would Have
Made Star Ball Players.

"a "DAA ODA
The Canary islands came into SUB
lection to Spain about the tine Colum-
bus discovered America. The con-
quest was due solely to the SUPERIOR
tv of European weapons anG not to
better skill and prowess. Native SOL
diers were trained athletics develop
ed under a system that he4G athletic
sports to be an important business
like military drill.
Spanish chronicles have lett &C
counts of sports of the islanders.
From babyhood they wero trained to
be brisk in self defense. AS soon as
thew could toddle the children were
pelted with mud balls that they might
learn how to protect themselves.
When they were boys STILES and
wooden darts were substituted for bits
Of clay.
In this rough school they acquired
the rudiments of warfare which ena-
bled them during the wars to catch
In their hands the rrows from their
enemies crossbows.
After the conquest of the Canaries a
native of the islands was seen at Sc
vile who for q silver piece let q man
throw at him as many stones as he
pleased from a distance of eight PAGES
Without moving his left foot he avoid
ed every stone.
Another native used 10 DEFY any one
to hurl an orange at him with SO great
rapidity that he could not catch (.
Three men tried this each with a doz-
on oranges and the islander caught
every orange. AS a further test he
hit his antagonists with each of the
oranges.

Count on Woman,s Energy.

"The decision of national issues az
ter the war will be in the hands of
women as we'll as men," says Principal
Gilbert Slater of Ruskin college, Ok
ford, in his book, War and Peace in
Europe" For, while the advance Of
woman toward political power has in
the past been slow in the extreme, it
has been irresistible and steadily ac-
celebrating. The wal itself has made
all Europe realize that in the supreme
struggle between nations, survival de-
ponds upon the energies of women be-
ing utilized as well as those of men.
Henceforward, women will count; and
they will count more and more"

The extreme favor being shown the
typical lingerie frock has brought lace
and embroidery into wide use again
this summer. Lace is being used for
trimming dresses and blouses, and Of.
ten forms the greater portion Of the
garment. The sheer lace flouncings
are particularly pretty for summer
dance and evening dresses. Metal
laces are effective on the more formal
gowns for daytime and evening. A par
ticularly pretty use of lace flouncing is
illustrated in the little Spanish dance
frock shown here; upper portion OF
skirt and bolerO are of taffeta, bodice
and flounce of thread lace founcing.
An effective bit of contrast is in rcduc.
ed In the dark girdle and the narrow
ribbons banding the short puff sleeves.
Another, a simpler, even more youth
full Dress is illustrated of wolfe and EN-
hroidery flouncing; it is charmingly
suited to the young girl for summer
wear.
The tub frock is more popular than
for many a year; Paris herself en-
dorses the cotton dress this summer.
Many attractive novelties are being
sent us from the French looms; among
them are the artistic piques, voiles anu
other fabrics of Rodier, with their
quaint patterns and effective colorinss.
A particularly pretty wolfe for blouses
and frocks is a fine check in color.

So with his sharp teeth Buddy loos-
ened the pink string around the box
and off came the cover. Then, what
do you suppose was in the box? Why,
whole lot Of peanut candy, all nice
and fresh, shining, golden brown,
with just enough peanuts in, and not
bit more, really and truly! 49,. 4
ooh! Oh! OH" cried Brighteyes in
delight, as she saw it. Peanut can
| dy, Buddy! If there's anything l love
it's peanut candy! Some good fairy
must have left this for us. Come on,
We'll take it over here under a bush
where the bad fox won't see us, and
We'll eat some of 1t and save some to
take home Oh, how lovely"
II don't think care for peanut
candy very much" said Buddy.
when l smelled it I thought it was
going to be chocolate caramels."'
Cont you want any," asked Bright
eyes.
NO" answered her brother, "but
I'll help You carry it into the bushes.
I'll eat some of the things we brought
from the party. I'm getting hungry
again. "a. =. .....
So he and Brighteyes carried the
box Of peanut candy into the bushes
and the little. girl guinea pig began
to eat the sweet stuff.
Well, she had eaten almost all of it
up before she thought because it tast-
ed so good, when all of sudden who
81 or ho n a
woods but little girl. Yes, little
girl in red dress and she was crying
as hard as she could cry, that little
girl was.
ooh, dear" she sobbed. II have lost
my box of peanut candy that I bought
in the store and l can't find it and I'm
so miserable Nobody in the world is
SO miserable as am. Oh, dear! Boo!
Hoo!"
Well, you should have seen how
sorry Brighteyes was for eating that
little girls candy. but Brighteyes
didn't know, Of course, whose it was.
She and Buddy just hid down in the
bushes and didn't know what to do,
until Buddy whispered .....
Listen! I'll fill the box full of our
candy, nuts and things that we
brought from the party and maybe
that will stop the little girl crping,"
So he did that, filling the box real
full. and putting the pink string around
it again. Then, when the little girl
wasn't looking Buddy slipped out OF
the bushes, put the box back on the
path again and slipped under a leaf
to hide. Then, pretty soon, when the
little girl stopped crying, she saw her
box and she thought a fairy had
brought 1t back.
Then she opened it and she saw
the peanut candy had been turned
into a different kind and that there
were nuts with it and she surely
thought 1t was magical, but it wasn't,
it was only Buddy Pigg who did it.
So Buddy and Brighteyes went home
happy and so did the little girl with
her white box which she had found
again after she had lost it.
Now, in the next story I'm going to
tell you about Buddy and the June
bug, that is if some one sends me
some peanut candy with lot of red
postage stamps on it. .
