City Park Pits
Denver.-Not satisfied with having
mountain scenery within a few miles
Of the city, Denver has sent out into

lected for bear pits at City park.
Agents of the city spread a gelatin
Gus material over the most striking
cliffs during the day and removed it In
the cool Of the morning, thus retaining
an accurate impression. This was con-
verted into plaster Of paris casts, In
which form the reproductions have
been brought to Denver. The molds
will be constructed in concrete and

Public Called Him Freddie, Which
He Resented.
Washington.-That long trousers can
add seven years to life in the time II
takes to put them on stands written
on the army records here under the
date May 2.
1t was then that Frederick Miller Of
Baltimore broke the bonds Of child
hood, and he broke them with a
vengeance. Up to that day there was
no doubt In the minds of the neighbors
that, in spite Of his five feet six inches
and his 160 pounds, the boy was not a
day over fourteen. His mother dress
ed him In waists and Knockers and
even in public called him Freddie.
But there was more to be blamed on
the Knockers than the accusation of
youth. They left visible the lower por-
ton Of Frederick's body, and as a con-
siderable portion Of 160 pounds was
not above his waist, Frederick yearned
with all his soul for a real pair Of long
trousers In which to hide his legs.
On May 2 Frederick came home from
school to find his mother out A negro
chore man was scrubbing the windows
"a real man, wearing mans clothes.
When Mrs. Miller returned she found
nobody I'm the house, and Freddie was
not seen for week. She did not know
Of course that the negro had gone out
dressed in q waist and Knockers.
Finally came q letter from Freddie
saying that he was happy and was
wearing army pants and leggings. The
postmark was New Rochelle, so Mrs.
Miller got busy. Soon Police Lieuten-
ant Frank Cody was at Fort Slocum
and Freddie was found-called Fred
erick-and the recruiting officers swore
that If Frederick wasn't twenty-one
they had never seen a man of that
age Freddie had announced he was
twenty-one when he enlisted.
Lieutenant Colonel Maudlin, COM
mandant at Fort Slocum, says Fred
erick should stay and help win the
war. But Freddie was told he must
return home, and his mother said that
If she couldn't call him twenty-one
she could at least call him seventeen
and give him a new pair Of long trou-
serS.
