It practical submarine.

Mary gave a birthday party last
Thursday and all her girl friends
were invited to bring along a doll
she had dressed herself. During
vacation Mary got four new dolls
which she was very proud of and
wanted to show them to her friends,
SO her birthday party turned out
to be dolls party
For a long time she couldn't
think how to dress them until her
mother said that this being centen-
NAL year, Mary should read up her
state history and dress each doll
to show the style of dress worn in
Wayne county during the twenty
five years of the last century and
name them like they're dressed.
So we had a regular christening
for them and their names are, Sal
ly Buckskin, Molly Caroline, Betsy
Frills and Sophie Sensible.
Mother is quite proud of them too
for Mary made their clothes fine
with buttons and buttonholes and
trimmings and they are very nice.
All our family and big party of
our neighbors are all coming to-
gether to Richmond to Sc the Cen
tennial Exposition and the Grand
Pageant they are going to have,
with four hundred people in it.
Mother is anxious to know if there
will be any chance of putting
Mary's dolls on view, and as all
Mary's friends have dolls, some of
them real big ones, as big as
baby, they could send enough to
make fine doll showing. Mother
says it is good thing to teach
girls to dress dolls as it teaches
them to make their own clothes
Everybody here is talking about
the Centennial for none of the folks
ever saw pageant before with so
many people in it, or an aeroplane
flying up in the sky, and hun
dred people all singing at once and

Boy Finds Gold
to Help Mother

A poor widow and her two boya
lived in a big forest. The one SON
was very good to his mother, while
the other was very lazy.
One day the mother took sick and
she told her sons to go out and
chop some wood for winter was
coming and they had no money for
coal.
One morning both started out,
but the lazy boy soon became tired
and lay down to rest. But soon he
was awakened by the shout of the
other. See what have found!"
In his hand were shining pieces of
gold. He ran to his mother, but
she told him to go to the bank
and get three hundred dollars for
them. Soon he returned joyfully to
his mothers bedside.
In a few months the sons were,
able to have the doctor for their
mother and build a little cottage,
where the mother received lots
of fresh air and regained her
health.

POOLING THE DOG

Not long ago when Claude Lane
was out riding in the country, he
saw new stunt. A country boy
had hitched up dog to little
wagon, and to make him go fast,
had tied a nice meaty bone on the
end of a fishing pole. So he was
driving with one hand and holding
this pole out in front of the dog
with the other hand. And the dog
surely was travelling. Claude said
he was going "lickety-split."

Bad Boy Falls
Into the Greek

Two boys whose names are Fred
Johnson and Harry Armstrong go
to the same school Fred was a
good boy at school but could easily
be tempted. Harry was bad boy
and was always in trouble.
Harry and Fred were coming
from school one noon. Fred"
said Harry, "let us go fishing this
afternoon" "Oh no." said Fred,
that would be disobeying a rule"
We'll" said Harry, "the teacher
will not know but what you are
sick" Il will co." said Fred. "All
right, meet me at the old mill and
we will go to Hawkins stream to-
gether," said Harry.
Fred met Harry as they had made
out. They had been there little
while when Fred became discour-
aged and waded out to a large
rock in the stream. The rock was
not strong enough to hold him so
he fell in and got wet. Harry
took him home. Fred got an aw-
full cold and was put straight to
bed. Harry was punished and also
put to bed, and was never in
trouble afterwards.

busily working in her kitchen, she
heard the door open, and the
whistle of the mailman. She went
to the front door and picked up an
envelope on which it was written,
Mr.. and Mrs. Emmett,

the following invitation:

invited to attend the ball at Glen
Miller Park, Thursday morning at
eight o'clock. Hoping that nothing
will prevent you from coming ]
remain
Your friend,

She had scarcely finished reading
when she heard her neighbor cal
ling her. She had also received an
invitation, and when she found that
Mrs. Emmett was going she made
arrangements to go with her.
They both got ready and prac-
ticed dancing. Then they started
on their way to the ball. On the
wa thy met others who had mus
ic. When they arrived they found
many more. They sat down with
them, and when all were assembled

Labor VIII Be scarcer.

An investigation made by some Of
the railroads of the country indicated
that 100000 foreign-born persons
would return to Europe Immediately
after the war, for various reasons.
Friends and relatives have been
killed Their homes have been dew
astated. There has been no commu-
nication between millions of families
for over year. Other evidence indi-
Gates that some of the warning coun-
tries are planning campaign upon
America for the purpose of induc-
ing able-bodied men to return to their
native lands to aid in the rebuilding
process. They want men, and they
want the accumulated capital which
these men will bring back with them;
and 100000 men with $500 each
would mean an addition to the capital
resources of Europe of 500, 700. It
is probable that great stretches of Eu-
rope now divided into great feudal es-
tates will be broken up into small
holdings, to be sold to natives and
returned foreign-born from America
as small farms. For many mobiles of
central Europe have been killed. Many
more have been bankrupted. The
shortage of labor will make 1t difficult
for them to work their estates It is
not impossible that the United States
may be a country from which the
able-bodied will emigrate, rather than
country into which they will immi-
crate. This, of course, is a matter Of
speculation. It will depend upon in
dustrfal conditions in Europe on the
one hand, and Industrial conditions in
America on the other Adding to this
is the pending legislation at Washing
ton, which may restrict immigration
by means of the literacy test and
other limitations upon the number of
incoming aliens.-Engineering Maya

MAKING GunnoMdsr.

A process has been devised by the
use of which gunpowder and other
high explosives can be manufactured
aboard railway train in motion. The
machinery includes device for per-
forming all the essential operations of
powder making, from the first COM
FOUNDER, where the elements are
mixed, through press, a cutting wheel,
hot air drying apparatus, to glaz-
ing cylinder for giving the grains their
final polish. If the whole proves as
practical as the inventor believes it
will it's effect will be to render pow
der plants less liable to destruction
in time of war than is the case at
present 1t also will be possible to
manufacture explosives in the very
train that is carrying them to the

BETTER THAN ANY POCKETS
For Absolute Safety, the Old Ladys
Plan Was Pretty Well
Perfect

1t was in the Pennsylvania depot at
Jersey City. A man who had been half
asleep on one of the benches for some
time suddenly reused up, carried his
hand TO the breast pocket OF his coat
and then called out:

Have much money!" asked an old
lady who sat near him.

you had it when you left homer
.'Of course I am"
Didn't leave it under your pillar, or
change your coat?"
MOI
81 noticed you feeling around your
coattails before you went to sleep. Bet
ter look back there before you give
up"
He carried his hand back, and ten
seconds later held his lost wallet up
to sight. He began to apologize and
stammer, but the old lady threw up
her hands and checked him with:
Young man, you orter be more
keerful, you might of accused me of
stealin' that money, and it would have
been a nice thing for my church folks
to hear of, wouldn't it? When the
news got home to my old man he'd
have been so kerfustrated that he'd
have forgotten to feed the shoats or
milk the cows, and there's no knowing
how he'd have got along locking up
the house and going to bed"
"Oh. l shouldn't have accused you,
ma'am," protested the man.
Wall, I'm glad on it, and being as
this excitement has come up about
picking pockets ! guess I'll see if my
money and ticket is safe"
And she reached down, slipped OF a
calfskin shoe from her right foot, and
peered intently into it, with the re-
mark:
There's ticket and there's dol
lar bill, and hain't been robbed. Just
try it, young man. Beats coat tail and
all other pockets all holler. Got to
stand you on your head to git it, and
every time you sot your foot down you
know it's thar. I've carried SIT all
over New York that way, and got out
alive and safe.''
