MAY DAY PARTY.
~ MApY GEAHAM q llNINhi

Eva was chosen as Queen of the May,
and such beautiful queen as she
made. She had Il most gorgeous
throne of different colorS. TO be sure.
1t shook and waved a little as it WAS
earried. but Eva was not afraid. She
had never heard OF Il queen falling.
Besides, if she did fail. she wouldn't
have very far to go, She smiled as
she passed everyone, and behind her
came a wonderful procession of chill
dren.
They were dressed in all sorts of
costumes. OF course, the ones who
carried the throra We're dressed in cos
tunes, too They were pages. and
they wore black velvet suits and
sashes of bright grange, and their caps
were of black velvet with orange tas-
sells.
There were tirps 'ee of all cOlors and
of all the mixtures of colors. Some
wore caps or wrpathS of flowers 9th
ers wore great high hats, while some
! wore crowns made OF lovely green
smilax. trimm, With dogwood bios
SONS which always come in the spring.
Some were drt SGD To look like bis
cult and bags and others looked like
clowns.
Still more looked like beautiful
princes and princesseS, kings ana
queens, though none looked so Won
derful as the May Day Queen at the
| head of the procession.
There We're ribbons flying in the
breeze, and there was band. Oh. it
was very gay and pretty and bright
! and the sun was there, too, keeping
everyone so warm and happy and
jolly.
They all stopped after they had
marched quite q little distance in a
great park. Near by was zoo. They
gave a very nice play and they sang
songs. After it became little dark
| they went away again and talked of a
May Day party to be given another

cession from their yard and were talk

did YOU see all those ribbons and

Il did, indeed" said the other,
whose name was Bard Bartlett.
"What were they for?" asked Billy.
"Some children having a special kind

Fierce Hand-to-Hand Fighting.

With the American Army in France,
May 30-American troops Tuesday
morning attacked the village Of Can
tigny, northwest of Montdidier, attain
ing all their detectives.
The American losses were light, and
they captured ITO Germans, including
two officers.
General Pershing in his official re-
port to Washington, says 200 were
captured)
The German prisoners include men
from Bavaria and a Silesan regiment
some of them as young as seventeen
or eighteen years old, and others be-
tween forty-fve and fifty. All are
poorly clothed and appeared to be
under-fed.
The Germans trooped out of their
dugouts when they saw the futility
of resistance, their hands held up.
shouting "kamarad." Apparently they
were glad to surrender One of them
said he did not want to fight, but had
been compelled to do so.
The garrison at Cantigny was all
accounted for. The men either surren-
dered or were killed. Many German
dead were strewn over the ground
The Americans penetrated the Ger
man positions to a depth of nearly a
mile on a front of more than 2000
wards. Their artillery completely
smothered the Germans. The rear of
the American guns could be heard
for many miles in the rear. Several
fires ars burning behind the German
line.
Twelve French tanks supported the
American infantry.
1.-THE artillery preparation began at
5.45 o'clock, an hour before the in
fantry n,ent over the top. The lines
of Americans moved forward in per
feet order, the tanks in the lead.
Fierce hand-to-hand fighting occur

large tunnel and a number of caves.
The tunnel sheltered a hundred Ger
| mans. The Americans hurled hand
grenades like base balls into these
shelters. They also carried machine

The Americans reached the German
second position and consolidated
themselves within three-quarters of an
hour. French troops which watched
the operations exclaimed: 1.-THE Ameri-
cans are wonderful"
Shortly before the American attack
the Germans again attempted to shell
American hospitals behind the Ameri-
can lines. Two high explosive shells
fell one hundred yards from one hos
pital. All patients able to walk or to
be moved sought safety in shelter
trenches.
Americas first offensive blow was
struck in mist The French tanks
apparently did not have much to do as
the American artillery already had
prepared the way. A bright sun came
out and shone on the Americans as
they dug in their new positions.

LEFT $4,000 ITO THE KID"
Mrs, Bertha Roster Tells Court Off,
Gals That She is the Lucky Party.

Norristown, Pa, May 30.-When the
will of George Hoffman. of Potts.own.
was admitted TO probate, it was found
that he had left the residue of his
estate, amounting 10 about $4,000, to
"the kid" while his two sisters. Mrs.
George Gordon, of White Bear, Berks
county, and Mrs. Emma West. of VIII
mington, got nothing.
He had written that they receive
SO each, but crossed out these be
quests.
On the back of the will, written in
indelible pencil, such as YVES used to
cross out the requests to his sisters,
is written an apparent Identification o
s'the KID The writing states that
she s Mrs Bertha Roster $40 Queen

Mrs. Roster appeared before Regis

He's to high above me to be on ex-

81 didn't know the sun had feet"
said Billy.
"He hasn't" said Bard. That's
why can't walk around and chat with
him."
81 don't suppose I can, either" said
Billy.
"What makes you so cross and so
curious about the May day party?'
asked Bard.
Because some children were talk
ng about US to the keeper and look
ng at me especially. The keeper
vas telling them that I was a very
inc animal, and very rare, when they
saw the May day parade, and they hur-
led away and haven't come back
,incel It's enough to make Du1falo
mad"
ooh, I see," said Bard, "you're jeal-
ous."
Perhaps" said Billy. "But I do
wish when they had those parades
and parties with all these ribbons and
bands and costumes they'd stay away
from the zoo, for we naturally lose a
lot of attention that way, and If we
| don't know about such parties we don't
feel badly.
Mustn't be jealous" said Bard. I'VE
can't have ribbons and bands-and the
children only have these parties at this
time of year-whereas they can have
us all the year to gaze upon whether 1t

So Billy felt happier, and the chill
| dren still talked happily of their sue
