"BLACK JACK" KISSES JEAN
French Boy Reminds American Gen
eraI of Home.

An old Atlanta newspaperman now
in France writes describing visit
of General Pershing to the front just
before the drive for and capture of
FiSmes.
''When the general came into the
yard at Annex Twenty-Five Of us were
playing tag with Jean, the 6-year-old
mascot of Base No. 49," he says.
"Of course we all snapped to atten.
ton and saluted. And little Jean,
clicking his heels in true military
fashion, came to attention with an
American salute, holding it like a
small statue until the big chief re-
turned it. The instant the general
finished his salute he walked over to
Jean, lifted him up and gave him a
regular old campaigner's hug with a
regular American daddy kiss right on
the mouth. Jean, though blushing
furiously, chirped: Hello, General
Pair-r-rshang! And there came into
the generals eyes suspicious mois-
ture indicating that he might be think
ing of another kid little bit older,
somewhere in America"

Dere and Dhere
Amusements Continued and Con-
cluded
BY Mrs. Byrd TregO'

| cluded
"All work and no play makes Jacl
a dull boy" and the old, common
trite saying is as true of the man a!
the boy. Every person should have
something to live for that is a pleas.
ure, a diversion, a rest from toll both
bodily and mentally; something that
makes one forget there was a sorry
| crop. sad cake and a naughty child;
something to make us sing the dox-
ology with more fervor, with a
glowing zeal for work, because there
is play coming at the end of the
period. A wholesome pleasure is the
healthiest, the most beneficial thing
for the mind and body aside from
Work that life has to give, and it
should be bestowed generously upon
us all. In a way it is ours for the
asking; anyway it is ours if we pro-
mote it.
1t seems to me that our attention
at the present time should be con-
tinued on the amusements and
sports that are popular with the gen.
eral public and healthy for mind and
body as well. 1t is long, high leap
from the frontier cowboy stunts to
the cultured chautauqua or the piano
recital or gems of literature, neither
do the last mentioned afford the ad-
vantage of salubrious out of door
activity.
We need spectacular things to vary
the monetary Of our gray landscape.
We need color to add charm to our
level stretches and sagebrush plains.
Our sunsets are the most wonderful
things at times, but. their marvellous
beauty is enhanced because of our
apparent want of color to the day.
In rainfall states we have a marvel
GUS harmony created by the growth
of trees and wild shrubs, cool and
pleasant and sheltering in summer,
marking off the distance in winter
with their brown arms swinging
coaxingly by the wayside. A navag-
able stream of water with it's boat
life, lake with its steamers, a pond
with it's row boats, hilly rolling
countryside with its old-fashioned
winding roads and lanes, that afford
happy surprises at each turn with
their variety OF landscape IN the way
of brooks, meadows, old stone walls
picturesquely clad in vines that be-
come the home of song birds, old
orchards and chestnut trees. And
so on we could journey over other
localities that are more fortunate
in having climate and condition
that is conducive to fullness Of the
restful, colorful things, provided in
great variety, than our own to which
we are lured and welded for its
wonderful possibilities.
So we conclude that any note of
color we may add to our grayness,
our levelness, our monotony Of land
scape and the natural life to which
it is conducive, will add a pleasing
variety to our eXistance also.

and ever seen on our streets. II
seemed just right to me. l thoroly
appreciated it and enjoyed it. The
Indians had made especial prepara-
ton, were all dressed in their own
manner of clothing, were fine look
ing race of redskins that deserve by
double right the place of leadership
in all of our popular amusements
and snowy exhibitions. / say the
double right because he was here
first and because he provides us the
show and color we need as we'll as
skill in sports.
| The cowboy comes next with his
skillful, vigorous, energetic love of
daring and dexterity, his suggestive
dress and cleverness with animals,
! in subduing and training the wild
horse and the contrary steer.
The west will never produce any
sports that will quite take the place
of these two that are justly and in
timately associated with it's early
activity.
But l would make some deductions
and additions. Yes, I'd follow the
lead suggested by these two pioneer
recreations, but I'd work them over
considerably. ! would freely and
frankly yield first place to the
Indian, but would have him serve
for the sport and love of the thing
rather than the money consideration.
We should not place a cash valua-
ton on our sports If we seek full
benefit of course, l do not count
necessary expenses in the statement.
Then l think dozen or so fine look
ing Indians in native costume rid
ing a tournament such as mentioned
last week, would prove the irresistible
climax of all the games of mastery
accomplishment we could hope for.
We shall never produce anything to
match 1t. I'd have contest between
the Indians and cowboys with a
suitable award to the winner that
was not cash.
I'd have the cowboy modify his
stunts, take away some of the things
that seem cruel to many of us, in
troduce polo and hurdle and like
stacy performances.
I'd hold fast to the relay races for
there are very interesting things, full
of life adroitness and wonderfully
alert. Then l would introduce many
of our athletic sports and field games
that are becoming world wide in in
terest.
In conclusion, let us dignity our
sports of all kinds; take away rowdy-
ism, betting and cash prizes Intro
duce mastery of the game by some
times awarding silver cup that has
to be defended in subsequent con-
tests and other things that would
have tendency to elevate the insti-
tuition.
In 1851 the little yacht America
crossed the Atlantic to try for the
silver cup offered by the Royal
Yacht club of England, and won it
quite easily, brought it to America
where it has remained ever since
tho many race has been sailed by
to get it back again. Sir
Thomas Upton, whose especial brew
of tea Is sold by all our grocers, has
been the most persistent aspirant,
over to America for the third
time in 1914 with the Shamrock
III" to race against our Reliance"
but the event was cancelled because

Such things are real, clean sport,
