Participle
BY w. CURTIS NICHOLSON.

WHAT is dangling participle? A
participle is a verb ending in
ing" when it Is used as an adjective.
Take the verb have" If we add
ing" we have having" Is having"
a participle? Not necessarily, but 1t
may be. In the following sentence,
having" is noun: Having too much
money does not always make a man
happy. Here, having is the subject
of the verb docs make" But in the
following sentence "having" is a parti-
ciple Gan adjective): My brother hav-
ing all he could carry, left the house.
Here, having" modifies brother"
Now participle often begins a SEN
tence, when it is widely separated
from the noun or pronoun 1t modifies.
Therefore. this noun or pronoun
should clearly follow the participle.
When the substantive that follows the
participle is not the one the participle
should modify, we say the participle is
dangling. AS an example of this erro-
neous construction, let us examine the
sentence: Then we landed, and hav-
ing been introduced to the mayor, the
steamer departed"
If we read the foregoing sentence
literally, 1t appears that the steamer
was introduced to the mayor. No in
telligent person should believe this, so
we shall have to recast the sentence
as follows:
After we had landed and had been
introduced to the mayor, the steamer
departed"

to see just what Mrs. Timmy would
do. However, as he stopped down a
thought came to him, and he straight
ened up again.
Il wonder" thought he, "just how
much courage little Mrs Timmy really
has. wonder if she will dare to take
these babies from my hand. I suppose
it is mean to test her courage in this
way. yet I would like to know if she
really is brave enough to do such a
thing"
He took one of the babies from the
nest and held it in the palm of his
hand toward Mrs. Timmy. He could
see her culver all over 1t seemed as
if her eyes grew bigger, if that were
possible. and in them there was such
look of love and longing as he had
never seen. Twice Mrs. Timmy made
a move as if to jump over to his hand,
and then fear held her back The
third time she oVercame fear. She
made the little short jump from the
tree to which she was clinging over to
the hand of Farmer Browns Boy. She
hesitated only long enough to glance
up into Farmer Browns Boys face,
as if to plead, You won't hurt us, will
you?" Then she picked up one of
the babies, turned and leaped back
to the trunk of the tree, carrying that
baby in her mouth.
you brave little thing" said Farm
er Browns Boy softly. Truly there
is no bravery like the bravery of
mothers love. Not for the world
would I harm one of these babies of
yours, nor would harm you. I won-
der if you know it, or if you simply
took a chance"

~ F ALL the little people who live
in the Green Forest the Fly
ing Squirrels are among the
~ most gentle and timid. They
are so tinid that seldom do they come
out during the daytime, You see, they
feel safer after the Black Shadows
come, for then there are fewer hungry
folk looking for them. 1t is because
they are abroad at night that they
have such big eyes. In proportion to
their size their eyes are larger than
the eyes of other members of the fam
lily.
Farmer Browns Boy knows Timmy
the Flying Squirrel well and is very
fond of him. Not for the world would
Farmer Browns Boy hurt Timmy or
any member of his family. So it was
that when he was cleaning out the
bird house he had put up on tree on
the edge of the Green Forest and
found that the nest he had pulled
out was not an old birds nest, as he
had supposed, but the nest of Mrs.
Timmy, and that in that nest were
three helpless little babies, he was
much distressed Of course, his first
thought was to get that nest back in
the house, but in pulling 1t out he
had pulled it apart and some of it
had fallen on the ground.
1t was then that Mrs. Timmy had
shown how brave she was. OF course,
she couldn't know that this great two
legged giant would not harm her, but
she was brave enough to take a
chance. She came down to the very
feet of Farmer Browns Boy, seized a
mouthful of that nesting material and
carried it away to an old hole of
Drummer the Woodpecker high up in
another tree. Then she returned for
a second mouthful. This upset the
plan of Farmer Browns Boy to try to
put that nest back in the little house
1t was very evident that Mrs Timmy
didn't intend to live in that house any
longer.
Well" said Farmer Browns Boy to
himself. what shall I do now? What
is it Mrs Timmy is trying to ask me?
You poor little thing You look
frightened to death. yet you have
dared to come almost within arms
reach. I can read right in those big,
soft eyes of yours that you want me
to do something. I wonder if you are
trying to ask me to put these babies
down. Even if I do I don't see how
you are going to get them away up in
that hole so high in the trees"
Farmer Browns Boy started to put
the rest of the nest, with the babies
In it, down on the ground. He intended
to then go off a little Way and watch

retained the ace. The declarer then
had to concede another diamond trick,
and was down one.
The defeat of the contract, while
brilliant would have been impossible
had declarer played the hand properly.
Having played two rounds of hearts
and the king Of clubs, he should then
have overtaken the queen with the
ace, and trumped his remaining club
in dummy, before playing the spade.
Having eliminated spades and clubs
from both hands, the opponents would
have been helpless, as they could cash
only two diamond tricks, and would
then have been forced to give him a
discard Of his third diamond by lead
ing either a spade or a club.

Out in Front as Gas

NEW YORK, Sept. II. (UP).
The st. Louis Cardinals ripped
another game off the New York
Giants National league lead yes
terday as they hurled 20 players
into the lineup to defeat the Bos-
ton Bees, 3 to 2.
The Gas House Boys, who seem
to play better ball on the road
than at home, climbed to within
ID games of the Giants as the
New Workers were bowled over,
7 to 2, by the Cincinnati Reds.
The National race took on the
aspects of a three-club affair.
Besides using four pitchers,
two catchers and two third base
men, the Cards rushed three pinch
hitters and two pinch runners in
to the affray in the ninth inning
when they scored two runs to
come from behind and sweep the
two-game series.
Wally Berger's oath homer of
the year with Buck Jordan on
base in the first inning, gave the
Bees a lead which was narrowed
to one run when the Cards tailed

two new battleships which will be

press conference held here.
simultaneously he disclosed that
American fleet maneuverS in
1897 would be staged in Hawaiian
and North Pacific waters in May
and early June. The exercises will
be held in approximately the same
area as those conducted in 1885.
Asked pointedly if there was any
significance in the navy'S decision
to work out its problems again in
the Pacific, Swanson drawled:
"No, l think not. We want to

problem that may arise there"
The Pacific waters in which the
fleet will maneuver embrace a
triangle between Seattle, Washn.,
the Aleutian islands and the Ha-
Wanan group. Although Swanson
would not designate the area, it
was learned the ships and planes
of the fleet will work as far west
as Wake Island.
To a question regarding what
plans, if any, this government had
for fortifying Guam, the cabinet
officer snapped:
"None."
Seated beside Swanson as he
held his first press conference
since he was stricken i'll months
ago wah Admiral William H.
STANDBY, chief Of naval opera

tary of navy during Swanson's
absence. Stanley had indicated
Lhat it might be necessary for the
United States to reverse its entire
naval coast defense plans as the
result Of the alleged sale of con-
fidential naval data by John Sc

officers.
Farnsworth has been indicted
by q District of Columbia grand
jury and is in jail awaiting trial.

Likewise he gave no eXplana'

Reports that an officer aboard
the L. S. Destroyer Kane which
was the target of a bombing at
tack in Spanish waters on August
80 had taken motion pictures OF
! the mysterious plane, were con
filmed by Swanson. He said the
pictures were not "officiar" but
would be studied by naval officers
as soon as they reached the de-
partment.

the game we'll in hand for eight
innings, but his mates collapsed IN
the field in the ninth and cost him
the game. Gene Moore misjudged
fly ball in the first half Of the
frame, then pegged it into the
left field bull pen to allow the ty-
ing run to cross the plate and
place the winning run on third,
which Chuck Fullis drove home
with single. Then Manager
frankie Frisch put Dizzy Dean in

the ninth, which he accomplished
by not allowing a hit to gain the
victory for Ed Heusser who gave

ninth. The Cards four hurlers

The Reds hit in every inning,
collecting ID safeties off TWO hurl-
