Jean Pasard, Eight Years Old Cared
for by Americans.

Paris. Aug. 3O.-Jean Passard is
eight years Old. The war has left him
an orphan and without relatives. Just
how he came into the possession OF a
certain regiment Of engineers in
France is cTouded with mystery, but
he did come into their possession and
was officially adopted. When an
American regiment adopts a French
kid, and many Of them have done so,
there is no half way business about it.
He's our Kid and our mascot, and
he isn't going TO be brought up an ig-
noramus,~ was the consensus of opin-
ion. so the hat was passed, and Jean
came into possession OF i've thousand
francs to be used to educate him.
That is a thousand dollars in Ameri-
can money.
Jean was fitted out with a tiny
American uniform, and with a whole
regiment to keep an eye on him, he is
developing rapidly into an American.
Also into a military man. Some time
after his formal adoption by the regi-
ment his adopted fathers were
called to the front and had to leave
Jean behind, to his regret and theirs.
Now he is being cared for and fed
and educated by the local Y. NJ. c. A.
organization.
His business in life is teaching
French to American soldiers and he
says to all and sundry who apply for
information that he is going to New
York to attend the public schools
"apres la guerre."

Vermont ATsvep Stands"

tBy Daniel l.. Cady.l
/ hope our quaint old Tavern Stands
Win keep right on a-standing,
And grace the State from Bennington

They represent the former days
When common folks we're grand
No sight thar Old Vermont displays
Can beat a Tavern Stand.
You fiud EN- on the ancient roads
That now are laundering highways,
Or. victimized by STRENGTHENING

They beautify the byways;
Those red brick structures. stately

The mansions Of the land
There's really nothing. | declare,
That beats a Tavern Stand.
They rose before the elegance
That marked the Georgian era,
Was lost in queerish ginger bread
or concrete loaf that's queerer;
The building boss had worn a blouse
Before he took command,
And he could build meeting mousse
As well as Tavern Stand.
They mostly had wooden ell,
With barns and stables ample,
And just inside a sample room
With Medford goods 10 sample;
The traveller saw no bellhops hop,
He heard no foreign band
But just the same, he liked to stop
Before a Tavern Stand
/ The landlord, he was always round
To give his guests greeting;
He spoke their names and shook
their hands
And made a merry meeting;
/ And then they entered up the walk,
WITH dahiias on each hand
OH / could string mile OF talk
About a Tavern Stand.
The broad high chimneys, stretching

Today look strong and solid;
The pattern round the entrance door
Makes modern doors look squalid
It's great to sight EN- as you ide,
You feel your heart expand,
| always rase my cap with pride

The swiftness and ease with which

Teach Children Thrift.

Thrift is a very Important element
in character. Those who learn 10 be
economical in youth have no difficult
ties when they are responsible for the
income necessary 10 maintain a home.
II is the man or woman that allows
want TO dominate and lives beyond
the income that has difficulties when
the income is small. Children should
be taught economy and thrift early in
life. They should be given chance
to earn and chance TO use their
earnings. This will give them respon-
slbillty and teach them the worth Of
money.

Laurels For N. Y. Team

New York, July 25-New York cricket players scored their third vic tory in the series of five inter-city matches with Philadelphia by win ming the fourth game at the Staten Island Cricket and Tennis club at Livingston yesterday. The Quakers lad much the better of the argument at one stage, and New York's success depended upon the small difference of three runs and one wicket on totals of 11S to 121 for wickets-
 It was only owing to ca most re- markable eleventh hour batting rally on the part of the metropolitans that the Quakers were deprived of a vic- tory. The latter owed their defeat when success meant tie in the series, to poor fielding at the most critical juncture
 To F. c. Taylor of the Manor Field Cricket club of Staten Island belongs the credit of pulling the game out Of the fire. Taylor went in fifth wicket down and by dfnt of the hardest sort of hitting, during which he put one out of bounds for six runs. brought together a total of 43, not out. In company with s. E. B. southern, Taylor brought New Yorks total up from 79 to 103 for the ninth wicket, and then, aided by F. G. Hales' knocked off the necessary runs to pass Philadelphia's total.

SECOND BATTLE
 BETWEEN JEFFRIES AND F|TzSIMMONS

Jim Jeffries, sixteen years ago to- day, July 25, 1902, knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons in the eighth round at San Francisco. This was the second battle between Bob and Jeff, and it lasted. three rounds less than the first but for all that Jeff was given a mighty good argument. Bob landed on Jeff when and where he pleased, and made a much better showing thar in the first contest at Coney Isl- and three years before. For seven rounds the freckled fellow banged Je:' ever the ring, and it was not un- til both his hands were smashed that FitZ had to give in. Bob broke two knuckles on his right paw, and buck led the joints of his left. Even after these injuries Fitz fought valiently for time, so turning his right that he landed on him with the sound knuckles. The iron jaw of the boil ermaker enabled him to weather the storm, and when the Cornishman's ar mament was disabled Jeff had his turn at the bat. Jeffries has confessed that Bob gave him on that occasion the worst beating of his career, and for weeks after the fight the big fel- low bore on his face the marks of the conflict.
