HISTORIC OLD SUN TAVERN
One of Boston's Landmarks Built Ia
1890, for Many Years Used 40
Fish Market.

One of the early taverns Of. Boston
was the Sun tavern which stood but a
few feet from the waters edge and
was built about 1890. For some years
it was kept by Hugqenot from Ro:
chelle named Cogneau. He made It
one of the most popular of taverns and
it was particularly popular with the
young men Of Boston and surrounding
country, partly for the reason that
mine host Cogneau had several very
attractive and lively daughters who
added a great deal to the charms OF
the hostelry. Their father had the
privilege of seeing two of them mar
ried in the tavern, one Of them becom'
ing the wife OF Col. William Palfrey,
the famous Revolutionary patriot. He
became the grandfather: of the noted
writer:l John q. ,Palfrey '-s'as s
~ Another daughter Of this genial host
of the Sun tavern married q successful
printer named Fleet. During the siege
Of Boston the British seized the house
and they changed its name to the
Kings Arms. But when the Red Coats
had been chased out of Boston the sign
of the Kings Arms quickly disap'
peared. and the old sign Of the Sun
Tavern took it's place and the tavern
took on it's olden time popularity. Il
has for many years been used as fsh
market. H.,

member should be not only willing but
glad to contribute to any worthy move
ment that means more for the town.
And every man in the town should

A commercial clubs supreme pur-
pose is something else than adding
a few dollars to the trade of the town
and paying secretary to keep the
minutes and the accounts. The Ideal
secretary is a man Of ideas and dyna-

On "Cleaninu Up"

Let's all appoint ourselves as CON-
mittee of one to help keep the town
clean and healthy and let's make a
good start by cleaning up our own
premises, urges the Lake Charles
Ma,) American Press. In other words,
be consistent, let's all practice exactly
what we preach If every person Will
do this, we shall have one OF the
healthiest cities in the country. In no
other way can this much-to-be-desired
condition be obtained. BY waiting for
the other fellow to start first, nobody
starts, and we just 60 along In per-
functory way from day to day and
year to year. Lake. Charles is already
healthy and clean, but nobody Will
deny that the city could be made q
whole lot healthier and cleaner, and
the way to do it is for everybody to
clean up their own premises and keep
them clean, and this applies especially
to the back yards and alleys where TIN
cans, empty boxes, discarded this and
that accumulate from time to time

: sulu Women Warriors.

In the Philippines American soldiers
on several occasions came In contact
with Sulu women warriors. In one OF
the last battles on the islands the
Sulus fortified themselves In the bowl
of an extinct volcano. It was rushed
and captured by American soldiers,
who discovered to their dismay, after
the battle, that a number Of their an
tagonists had been women. Their fig
ures were as slim as those Of the menI
both sexes wore their hair long, with
handkerchiefs over their heads, and
the women wore trousers similar ia
those worn in Turkey. Thus they were
practically indistinguishable from the
men. The bravery Of these women
warriors appears all the more remark
able when it Is recalled that according
to the Mohammedan faith man who
is slain While fighting Christians IL
translated at once to heaven, but al
the women are not supposed to have
souls their sacrifice of life Is without
hope of reward in a hereafter.

SOLVING PROBLEM OF PLAY
American Cities Are Beginning 70
Meet the Needs Of People for
Outdoor Recreation.

American cities are beginning to
solve the problem of play. It is only
| In the last few years that the United
States has become country predomi-
nantly urban instead of rural in it's
population, and this urban population
has had a hard time getting the out
door air and exercise 1t needs, writes
Frederic ]. Haskin. The solution of
the problem, seems to lie in the muni-
cipal playground and athletic field,
| which has come to be q feature Of
the parks Of almost every progressive
| city in the last few years. The fed
eral census bureau has just c0mplet-
ed an Investigation Of the parks and
| Fairgrounds of every city in the Unit
ed States, which contains some inter-
esting facts. p. NJ. Z. =
! For the purposes Of this work, the
census bureau takes account of all
! cities Of 10000 inhabitants or more.
There are 213 such cities in the United
States-a measure of the rapidity with
which the balance of population Is
moving from the country to the city.
Neither the country boy nor the coun-
try-dwelling man needs any outdoor
recreation facilities; he has only to
step across his threshold to be in an
out-of-doors that affords the sports for
which games are only a substitute.
Much attention has been given to the
problem Of furnishing country dwell
lers with intellectual and artistic re-
creation, in an attempt to keep them
from moving to the city in too great
numbers; out there has so far been
little attention paid to providing them
with outdoor, sports within average
means after they arrive in the city.
But the movement is under way, and
it is growing steadily. ..- -.

penlcts tho "Great Trek

An Interesting film has just been
shown in London dealing with early
South African history, and has been
praised by General Botha. It depicts
the "Great Trek" Of the Boer into
Natal and Dingan's Land IN 1896, and
follows Peit Retief's adventure
through with tremendous realism.
Coming into collision with the native
Kafirs, and with the British when the
latter made Natal an English colony,
The Beers pushed on beyond the ORA

vaal and Orange Free State. "You
