Billy Whiiskers By Francis Trego Montgomery

If the Captain had only brought Mamie. Bflly's beloved wife to Gov ernors Island also Billy could have stood It better. but the Captain, not knowing that the beautiful whi+e goat was Billy's wife, had left her on the farm with her children and grandchildren. I am quite sure that had the Captain known he was sep arating a loving couple, he uouId have brought Mamie also, though he wanted only one goat for his eldest son, the dog for his youngest and the cat, of course, for his little daughter
 The children were loving and kind to them, and never forgot to feed them, and were careful never to leave them out in the cold and rain Tn fact, the whole regiment made great pets of them. Still the love of free dom was so strong that they felt like prisoners, and 1onged to get away. even if they fared worse
 Feehng this way. you can imag- inc with what joy Billy heard the news that a lot of aeropIanes were going to- fly from the island,
 Never having seen an aeroplane or airship. Billy naturally thought there would be lots of room in one of them for him to secrete himself and sail away all unbeknown to the Captain and his children. You who have seen frzn ships of the air will knU1v with what disappointment Billy look ed on his first airship.
 Call that a shin? ?'' said Billy. in a disgusted voice to Stubby. '"why, it is nothing like to know where 2 goat has any chance of hiding hirnselfI But you, Button, could hang on to the ropes with your claws and teeth long enough to sail over the bay and then you could drop to the ground"
 'Yes, I would like to see myself dropping two or three hundred feet from one of them, and probably land on the top of some building, or drop down a chimney. No. I'll wait a little longer for a safer way to get off this island.''
 For three days, aerop1anes, bi- planes, hFdroplanes. balloons and all sorts and kinds Of airships kept ar riving- Some flew down to the island and a1ighted like big birds, while others came in the boxes in which they had been shipped from abroad; for this was to be a meeting and con- test of all the different kinds of air craft that had been invented all over the world.
 CTomorrow's story will tell more of the plans of the churns to escape from the isband.)

 The nder1uI pitching of Charley Robertson, young White Sox hurler, to date, recalls the sensation Harry Krause, young southpaw, caused when he made his debut with Connie Mack'a team back in 1909.
 Member him?
 Josh Riley recommended the lad to Connie Krause. as a starter, pitched -en consecutive victories, including six shutouts, before he lost 6 game. The Browns finally halted his drive in an e1even-inning battle. During his win ming streak Krause allowed but four runs and forty-ntne hits. Two of the four runs were annexed in one game, which means he held the opposition to a lone run in two of the four games in which they managed to score.

were their partners, and they enjoyed
the frolic as well as the Leaflets.
Suddenly some of them discovered
their shadows on the ground, and they
danced faster than ever In fact, old
Mr.. Moon grew tired and sleepy and
went to bed, and still the dance went
on, for now they had found something
that amused them the Leaflets would
not stop. They tired out the Little
Breezes and they went home; and not
until then did the Leaflets stop
dancing.
1t was a long time ago that the
Leaflets held their first dance, but
ever since they are always calling the
Little Breezes or the Brisk Breeze to
come and dance with them.
Often, when all the rest of the world
seems quiet, if you look at the young
Leaflets you will no doubt see some
of them, at least, swaying and swing
ing, trying new steps and watching
the shadows they make on the
ground.
Never since that night long ago
have the Trees been able to keep the
Leaflets from dancing; but, as they
never fuss or complain, the Trees do
not mind. And so, while they sleep,
the little Leaflets go on with their
dance, sometimes even dancing in the
rain.

HELP YOURSELF
OMAN is in the world to overcome

By wALTER l.
] ROBINSON

OMAN is in the world to overcome
AVA himself
How often have you thought, of this
when finding fault with the world in
general because YOU thought your luck
was hard? It's safe venture TO guess
that most unhappy persons never even
consider their own positions from this
angle.
Too many blame others for their
own misfortunes when they could find
the fault at their own doors. Too
many consider their luck bad when
it is better than they deserve. If
they recognized their own short-com-
ingS or tried to overcome them when
acknowledged, they'd frequently over
come their worst handicaps.
If one starts out to get somewhere
he isn't likely to reach his goal as
quickly as he desires if he sits by
the side of his pathway and hopes for
some miracle to happen which will
bring him TO the desired destination
without climbing up the hill.
Once in while kind motorist will
overtake the lazy loiterer and give him
lift. But the chances are against
such good fortune when the pathway
follows an upgrade course. For few

The committee deferred announce

looking to the termination of military
government in Santo Domingo"
The declaration that early with
drawal of or drastic reduction in the
American marine occupation force in
Hayti would be followed certainly by
brigandage and revolution was made
in the report.
The committee found that, on the
whole, American administration in
Hayti had been of great benefit to
the Haytians and was so regarded, by

PATRICIA

IT CAN truthfully be stated, with

is patrician name. 1t signifies
noble" and comes from the Latin
ter-father--which was the source
of ''patria," the "fatherland."
The patriot were the privileged
class of Rome since its members were
descended from the original thirty
fathers, or patres. Patricus, meaning
the noble, was the title given to the
young Roman-British Calpurnius who
was stolen by Irish pirates in his
youth and, when ransOmed, returned
as an apostle to the land of his cap
tors. bringing the name of Patrick,
which is so popular and so revered in
Ireland, in memory of the patron
saint.
Patricia is Scottish invention, ac-
cording to etymOlOgists. The name
made its appearance there as the
feminine of the masculine Patie.
which was the Scotch form of Pat
rick. Though Patricia spread to Eng

and later found vogue in Ireland, no
attempt has ever been made to change
it's form or spelling.
Patty, which is often thought to be
the diminutive of Patricia, has no
relation whatever to the noble name.

Che Friendly Path

The same rule applies all along the
path of life. Just as one is likely to
meet disappointment if he depends on
q lift by the road, is he almost certain
to find his progress tagging if he waits
for his fellowmen to shove him ahead
Those who become disgruntled with
that their own Indifference, inaction or
the over-estimation of their proper
sphere, are the greatest stumbling
blocks in their paths.
If one helps himself little, the
world will always help him more.
