An Old Alarm Clock.

At schramberg. In the Black forest.
there is a respectable alarm clock that
warned sleepers 1t was time to get up
when Charles l. was king of England
This was made in 1850, and It is desm-
ed a remarkable piece Of workman
ship. In form 1t resembles a lantern
wherein Is a lighted candle, the wick
of which is automatically clipped ev-
cry minute by a pair of scissors. The
candle Is slowly pushed upward by
spring, which also controls the mech

hour OF waking an alarm Is sounded
and at the same time the movable
sides OF the lantern fall. and the room
Is flooded with light

The Way TO Float.

This is the advice of an old swimmer
to those who cannot swim: ANY hui
man being who will have the presence
of mind to clasp the hands behind his
back and turn the face toward the
zenith may float at ease and in perfect
safety In tolerably still water When
you first find yourself in deep water
you have only to consider yourself an
empty pitcher. Let your mouth and
nose and not the top Of your heavy
head be the highest part Of you and
you are safe. But thrust up one OF
your bony hands and down you go
turning up the handle tips over the
pitcher" There are reason and logic
In this.

A Day Of strengthening.

Memorial day should be sacred to
the memory of every patriot who has
served his country and has passed be-
yond With such a significance as that
for the day It ought to be possible to
save II from extinction and make 1t
one OF the great moral strengthening
days Of the national year.
And even beyond that we might go
and give the day added moral strength.
II might be finally crystallized into a
day of remembrance of the dead Of
the nation without regard to wars.
The mother might remember her blue
eyed girl the lover his dead sweetheart
and the young man his honored father.
1t would be day Of sacred memo
ries. Of strength giving associations. II
would then hold an intense personality
for everybody.

M|SSOUR|ANS'
 MOST LIKELY
 PICNIC HELD
Dozen Speakers Make Even ing Session of Society Notable; Afternoon Taken Up With Lively Sport Program

Thoroughly Mssourian was the gathering of the former residents of that state, their kin and friends. at the annual society picnic at Eastlake park yesterday Nearly 400 respond ed to the invitation to rendezvous under the trees and help demolish "vittles"
 Early in the afternoon there was a matter of several hundred on the ground when the sports program was started. Games and competitions in which substantial prizes were awarded lasted from S:30 until supper time.
 The family plan, so successful in affairs of this sort, goverened the supper. Huge hampers of food had been carted to the scene. and in the cool evening the grub was well ap- preciated by the hungry horde.
 Those Kidding Speakers.
 President Albert D. Leyhe, of the Missouri Society, presided at the speakin' bee. He called first upon Robert $. Fisher. who refused to give speech, but succeeded in anna ssing laughs in large quantities at the ex- pense of the orators who were to follow him. He aimed his humor spe- clally at his partner, Bob Jarrott. whose vain attempt to conceal his approaching wedding led to sen- sauonal expose recently. Jarrott was finally forced to take the stand in his own defense. but in d swarm of lawyers he was utterly vanquished and made to grow pink in the region # the countenance.
 Among the speakers were Ed. Shaw, Harvey" Betts, Henry l.. Eads. Claude Decatur Jones, Mrs E. L. shaw, Judge P. P. Parker and C. c. Thompson. Thompson allowed that within ten days he would be visiting the old home state and would be see ing it's governor The society in stantly voted him the job of toting it's greetings to the Missouri executive. ask which he accepted.
 Want Oftener Picnics
 The Missourians want a reason for their annual picnic. They named committee yesterday to search histor- ical and even archaeological records Tor an excuse to gather and celebrate Gas if true Missourians really needed an excuse to be jolly.) Anyway, they named C.. C. Thompson. Ed. Shaw. Mrs J. H. Williams. c. D. Jones, R. $. Fisher and Henry L. Eads as the committee and told them to fly at it.
 And moreover, there will probably be a monthly picnic or outing of some sort by the cxhuberant sons and daughters of Missouri. That was an- other thing they brought up last evening.
 President Leyhe received many con- Sratulations on the success of this. the most successful of all the Mis- souri picnics, He asked The Re- publican to thank all those who helped to make the day a notable one.

 Galena has been playing fine ball in the outfield for the Millers. Sunday in the Mine Mill game he had four put outs and three assists.

On the other he took slow hit ball just out of Downey's reach, and by snap throw while running at full speed got his man.
 Manager Spot" McMurdo of the Shelter thinks he has the best team in the league now and is not figuring on any changes, unless some of his men get in bad slump.
 Manager Herb Hester of the Ray Miners is confident that his club will soon be in the lead and is going to stand pat with the club he now has on the field. In Scanlon and Brady he has two first class utility men. Dick Bayless is hitting as good as ever this year. He got two hits in Sundays game against the Miners.
