Educational Note

In this town where so many men
and women must retain their youth
ful figures or quit the screen, experts
in any athletic recreation are paid well
to teach what they know. Fencing
teachers, tennis teachers and teachers
of golf abound in Hollywood; and there
is even a school of archery on the
Boulevard. Also the quaint sign: Fine
bows and arrows for sale or rent"

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

November Is, 1868.-It was announc-
ed today that arrangements had been
made by committee of the Good Will
Fire Company of Philadelphia for the
attendance of large delegation of Wis
iting firemen of that city at the inau-
guration ceremonies here for Gen.
Grant, the President-elect, on March 4
next. This delegation is expected to
consist OF more than $50 members of
the Good Will Fire Company and per-
haps Of some other companies of that
city.
Quarters have been secured for this
delegation during the inauguration
period in the Kirkwood House. The
Good Will Company will bring It's fire
apparatus to take part in the inaugural
parade. The apparatus will be housed
during its stay here in the Franklin
engine house.

such a convention to meet in WASH

I'VE decline to print the call because

We trust no such convention is re-
quired. The better part Of those in the
South who supported Seymour and
Blair in our late struggle seem now de-
sirous to unite in efforts to secure peace
and prosperity to the South and the
whole country. We trust that those ef-
forts, heartily seconded by those of Gen.
Grant and his supporters, will prevail.
AT all events, let us wait and note
carefully the effect produced at the
South by Gen. Grants election. Con-

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo patri

while those of the child are in process
of growing and developing.
Little children work hard in school
Just sitting still and listening is hard on

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Loves Green Ewes.

The true tint of love Is rather roseate,
but tinge Of green often flares forth
just to offset the steady glow of loves
own light. It Is the green of jealousy
How much Of human affection is dis
colored by the suspicious shade of green!
But before we 60 on to blame the
jealous lover and discountenance the
green OF his or her glances, let us be
fair enough to observe that jealousy can
be sign Of ardent love. Indeed un-
less there be the everlasting possibility
OF jealousy. there can hardly be love in
the romantic sense of that old term.
Just as red cannot exist as a color
without its contrast In green, so love
cannot live and express itself without
the possibility Of its opposite hue-the
green Of envy, of downright jealousy.
But. If jealousy is all right as sign
OF love, 1t Is to be condemned on the
ground that 1t Is selfish The lover who
Is envious of his beloved's enjoyment
and is jealous of her happiness is a per-
son whose affection is Self-centered. 1t
starts with his own heart and ends
| within his own breast
| OF course, there must be a certain
amount OF Selfishness with human love-
Tor 1t is something very different from
|
have sympathy for people in the slums
or for the heather in China, but that
sort of feeling Is not at all the way
Romeo felt for Juliet. You don't have
to attend night school to learn that,
girls.
Then, again, jealousy Is to be frowned
! upon as human emotion because it is
form Of fear. Maybe we might call it
lealophohia and be highbrow. 1t is
the fear that somebody Is going to lift
our sweet patootie and that's a lift we
don't want anybody to give us.
Now here comes the deep part of the
jealousy business, and want you to
follow me In the paradox which I'm
going to spring on you. Don't say I'm
| wrong until you've thought it over. It's
something which I'll put In the form of
an Illustration: A man loves girl and
finds that she's bit coquettish. She
makes goo-goo eyes at another man.
Now, as long as man No. Q doesn't
| take any particular notice of these
| little winks, the lover man isn't
jealous, although he isn't exactly tickled
pink. At any rate, he doesn't show the
| jealous green.
On the other hand, II some other man
takes special notice, wants her phone
number, ETC., the lover man is livid
with the green Of jealousy. 1t doesn't
make any difference whether the girls
interested or not. She may even de-
| Spise the other man. It's the idea
that some one is trying to supplant him.
That's what gives the lover his green
feeling. Now, this Is just the reverse of
what you'd expect, for you imagine you
want to be sure of your sweetie's af-
fections. Fact Of the matter is that
| you're afraid of losing her or him. as
the case may be- Better have your
sweetheart love another than to have
another love her-that's jealousy, and
It's very primitive and unbecoming.

old rifle must have been pointing this
way and I accidentally pressed the
trigger. Does it hurt much?"
The other boy had pulled his stock
ing down and was looking at black
and blue spot on his leg. No real dam
age was done, but it had stung like the
mischief at first. and now it ached.
Meanwhile, Rusty had been forgot

He slipped away and once he found
that he wasn't being followed, how he
did hurry. He didn't know what had
happened. ] suspect that II he had
known he wouldn't have been so very
sorry. But he didn't know, so we do
not know whether or not he would have
been sorry. I fancy, though, that he
would have said, 1T serves him right.
Now he knows what 1t feels like to be
shot"
Presently the boy, finding he was not
SO badly hurt as he had thought he
was, pulled up his stocking, picked up
hunting for Rusty. But he was only
alf-hearted in his hunting. Yes, sir.
he was only half-hearted. Presently he
began to lag behind. He was doing q
lot of thinking, was that boy. II won

that bullet hurt me. suppose 1t did.
Probably 1t hurt him more, because he
is so much smaller. He was hit twice.

those bullets hurting this way. knew
that Squirrel was scared, but somehow
didn't think of him being hurt.

thought.it was. guess I'll 60 home"
So this boy started for home, although
he had brought his lunch with him and
the two boys had planned to hunt to-
gether all day. The other boy couldn't
understand it. He felt little guilty
because it had been his fault that his
companion had been hit In the leg.
But he didn't know the new thoughts
that were going through the mind OF
his companion and he wouldn't have
understood them If he had known them
So the boys parted, and it was very
sober-faced boy who tramped home, put
his gun away and decided then and

frightening and hurting the little peo-

| speak of highly cultivated and learned
people as having enlightened minds.
There are also the expressions light
was thrown on the subject" and It have
new light on that matter" In all these
terms there is the idea of knowledge
being associated with light. No think
ing person would willingly stop know
ing more about the things of real value
or put up barrier to exclude informa-
ton on matters of Importance.
There is one way, however, in which
people unwittingly shut the windows of
their souls and the trap doors of their
minds, and that is by forming such de-
cided opinions that they are impervious
to change. Sometimes these openings
are shut by a pre-conceived idea of
what things will be like before getting
facts about them. If the mind refuses
to take in facts, no new light can be
gained. The mind is closed. 1t is USE
less TO try to make an impression when
this is the cause. If 1t is ones own
mind that is so shut the shadows of
darkness are already lowering about.
Sometimes it is by thinking along one
train of thought only that the shutters
gradually come together over the aper-
ture through which light might come.
So keep the shutters wide open. There
are always many facets to the prism of
truth and knowledge. Keep the prism
revolving in an open mind and watch
the new lights that 1t catches. Perhaps
some chance remark will hit the spot,
perhaps some penetrating ray may be
thrown through reading One can never
be certain where the light will come
from. Many times it is by knowing
some beautiful character. No word Is
spoken or written, but the light of q
beautiful life Is the brightest to be
found on this globe.
A mothers unselfish love, fathers
answering faith--these are high lights
of home life that no child would con-
slider shutting the heart permanently
against. The idea of darkness of mind
is little more attractive. And these are
only few of the ideas that the say
ing makes one ponder upon. 1t GER
tainly is mental calamity to shut the
trap door of the mind.
