BoWSer Is Sentimental But, as Usual,
 It Is Not Appreciated

MT. Bowser took a seat on the front steps the other evening to smoke his cigar.
 The cat was with him and she purred peacefully. The crickets in the grass of the front yard sang songs for his pleasure.
 The moon rose, and she rose higher than usual, as if to challenge his ad- miration.
 Now and then a whippoorwill called for his mate, and the sound of ped dler's voice shouting "blackberries" came to his ears like sweet lullaby.
 MT. Bowser grew sentimental under all these things. He thought of his boyhood days. He thought how pleas ant life was. He thought how good Mrs. Bowser was to him, and how there was not another cat in the town who thought as much of her home. By and by an umbrella mender opened his gate and walked in and said:
 Boss, have you got any umbrellas to be mended?"
 "My dear friend" replied MT. Bow ser, "hoW can you view that glorious moon up there and talk of mending umbrellas? I should think you would love to take a seat and reflect on what beautiful canopy has been made over the earth for our benefit" 1 "So you have no umbrellas to mend?" asked the man.
 My dear sir if I had thousand umbrellas to mend, such a night as this is not the night to pass them out. Think of an umbrella with three ribs broken, and the ferule missing with the stars twinkling the way they are. It is a sacrilege, man-it is a sacri- lege!"
 MT. Bowser was still admiring the glorious night, when a vegetable ped dler came to the gate and called to i him in hoarSe voice:
 Say, you! I have got ten cucum- bers left, and I want to sell out and get home. What do you say to two cents apiece for them? I have been selling them for four cents all day"
 MT. Bowser heard, but did not an- swer Just then he thought he heard the music of a harp down the street and the strains were in harmony with his feelings.
 ''I warrant them fresh,' continued the man, land they are not chucked

Boy Scouts on War Duty.

Naval dispatches in Britain are very largely carried by Boy Scouts. Speak, ing at recent review Lieut.. Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell paid very high praise to the work done by these lads, who, without any officers watch ing them, but working simply under their own boy leaders, were doing their patriotic duty to their country. "Ev- cry night withouA fail," he continued, these boys have carried dispatches along that wild coast down to the ad- miral at the base, and they do about six miles every night I saw the one hundred and nineteenth message go down. It is wonderful how those boys face difficulty and danger simply be- cause they are expected to and from Il sense of duty and of playing the game And that is true of boys throughout the country"

 Did you ever see moon like that" finally spoke MT. Bowser. Look at it's roundness! Look how she smiles down on the earth. Look"
 "Oh, I've seen moons before tonight. Say, old man, what about them cu- cumbers? You buy me out and I'll hustle home to my dear wife and children"
 Man alive, go away with your cu- cumbers! You ought to be sitting in a grove of cypress trees, thanking your Creator for making you such a night 1; free of expense. How many of those delicious stars can you count?"
 "Tm not a-going to try, but l can count one old chump sitting on his front steps with cat in his lap. Why don't you talk plain English, as all other folks do?"
 The peddler had been gone five or ten minutes when the cobbler came over with piece of paper in his hand. He waited moment to be addressed. and, as he was not, he said:

Russian Prisoners Escape.

The record of escapes from war captivity has been claimed for Rus sian prisoner who recently crossed the Dutch frontier in his twelfth attempt to escape. Three times he fled in the direction of LuXemburg, twice he made for Switzerland, on several occasions he took the road to Poland and again to Denmark, but in every case without success. This was the first time he had tried his luck in the direction of the Netherlands frontier, and after be- ing two months and twenty days on the road success crowned his persever- ance.

that song, and let your heart melt, as mine does."
 The song of Buffalo Gals" died away as suddenly as if a grasshopper had jumped down the throat of the singer. The harp quit playing and the cricketS in the grass ceased to chirp. The moon saw red and MT. Bowser rose up and began to descend the steps. All his enhancement was gone and his eyes looked danger. The agent moved along and MT. Bowser moved after him. He was reaching for the mans coat collar when there was a sudden fit and pursuit. He ran that agent down to the corner and, though he did not catch him, he frightened him until he was as pale as a ghost. Then he returned to his seat on the steps and, an hour later, Mrs. Bow ser found him asleep in shadow passed by the moon.
 Don't you know better than to sit out here in the chilly air?' she asked.
 But Bowser only grunted. He had returned to practicality, and all senti- ment had vanished with the whippoor- will, which was only sparrow. any, way.

SUPERINTENDENT
Lafayette Only Nineteen When
 He Came to America.
Conqress Commissioned Him Major General and Washington invIteo
 Him Into His Military Family

Marie Jean Paul Roche Wet Gilbert Motier was born September G. l73l.
 You know this seven-named nero pet ter by his title than by any of hls sep tet names he was the Marquis de La- fayette.
 While the birthday of Lafayette mas not been generally celebrated in the United States, no 9th of September has been permitted to pass without some recognition of Lafayette's services.
 At the age of thirteen he inherited an immense fortune. and he was only sixteen when he married the grand- daughter of the Duke de Noailles. De spite his aristocratic education and en- vironment, he was from childhood an ardent lover of liberty.
 Republican anecdotes always de- lighted me-" he wrote in his memoirs, 'and when my new connections wished to obtain for me place at court did not hesitate displeasing them to pre- serve my independence"
 When he first heard of the Revolu- ton in America he "espoused warmly the cause of liberty" and offered hlS services to Silas Deane the American revolutionary agent in France.
 "When I presented to MT. Deane my boyish face, for I was scarcely niH teen years of age, I spoke more Of nfy ardor in the cause than of my exper1- ence," wrote Lafayette, "but I dwelt upon the effect my departure would cause in France"
 The credit of the Continental con- gress was so low that Deane could not procure vessel, so Lafayette bought and secretly freighted the ship Victory to carry himself and a dozen or so other officers across the Atlantic. Among Lafayette's companions was Baron Johann de KaIb, native of Ba- varia, who had long been in the serv- l ice of France. Against the wishes of l his relatives and the orders of the French king Lafayette sailed for Amer ica. From the Victory he sent mes sage to his girl-wife:
 'sFrom love to me become a good American; the welfare of America is closely bound up with the, flare of | mankind"
 Lafayette and his party landed near 1 Georgetown. s. C., in April, 1777, and then travelled by land to Philadelphia, where the congress commissioned the nineteen-year-old boy a major general, and Washington invited him to become a member of his military family.
 The boy general joined the Contf- mental army in August, TIT, and in the following month he fought at Brandy wine, where the Stars and Stripes were first carried into battle. Lafayette fought as volunteer. and was badly wounded. After several brilliant ex- ploits he returned to France in 1779 and was hailed as a hero.
 During the French revolution he was an ardent republican and dropped his title when he was made commander in chief of the National Guards. He was driven from his country by the ex- | tremists, and the Austrians flung him into a dungeon, where he was confined l for five years.

 "Cobbler patch shoe" repeat ed MT. Bowser "Why, man, you should not have come here this eve ming of all evenings in the year"
 But I thought you had forgotten"
 Didn't you see that glorious moon and those bright stars? Didn't you see that I was plunged in thought|
 q saw the moon and stars" replied the cobbler, "but l thought you come out here to cool off and it wouldn't do any hurt to speak to you. If you cant pay the bill now"
 ''Pay for a patch on a shoe such night as this! Don't you hear the crickets warbling their sad notesf Don't you see the fleeting shadowsf Don't you feel this soft and gentle evening breezeW
 "Why, think I do," replied the cob bier, land you can stop in and pay the bill in the morning. l wouldn't think too much if I were you, for it makes one loose in the head. One time, I sat and looked at the moon for l about half an hour, and it made me ] sleepy. I couldn't figure two and two, and the doctor warned me that l had better look out"
 The cobbler went away, and Mir. | Bowser returned to his state of en- tracement. The harp struck up again, and this time there was a singer with it. The song was Buffalo Gals" and the air was meant to be lively, but struck MT. Bowser with peculiar sadness. The moon also seemed to | be sad and the stars no longer shone with their former billiancy. MT. Bow ser felt tear sadly rolling down his sad cheek, and his chin might have begun to quiver with emotion, when @ sewing machine agent came along at a brisk walk and turned into the gate and said:
 Perhaps you haven't got a sewing machine yet? I am agent for one ot the best and yet one of the cheapest machines ever brought out. If you have no objections, I should like tC 1 speak with your wifef'
 "No mind but q sordid and selfisf mind could come around here at this hour of the night and profane the heavens as you are doing. Don't you see that moon and how grandly she moves? That moon is visible in every land under the sun and millions ot people are looking at the glorious sight, but you are here to sell sew ing machine-a thing of steel anC iron"
 "Oh, I see the moon right enough replied the agent, ''but I might look at it for a year and it would bring me no bread and butter. If you hap pen to be satisfied with the machine you've got, let me sell you musical instrument"
