Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
Well, well, if Sal didn't receive
a letter from one of st. Paul's num-
Der l husbands who said he wanted
to thank me loads for writing up
that Twin City melodrama last
week about the wife who won her
husband back after paying more
attention to her personal appear
ance. He says that his wife was
losing her attractiveness, but after
reading last weeks writing has re-
modelled herself to the nth degree.
Says Hubby, More power to you,
Sal. I'm in love all over again"
This young man is the father of
one child. Catch the individuals p
What Minneapolis freshman
thinks NINA SALTERS too charm
ing for words? (Say, youngster,
Nina is Eds wife. Sorry, no chance
there.) Mrs. ]. W. CRUMP has
certainly had one grand time in
Pittsburgh. (From one of the col
umnist's remarks in the Courier.)
Friends of Rev. HENRY P.
JONES of St. Paul are glad to see
him in town. Cupid's been
"cupiding" round CHRIS CARTER
these days. (The male in question
is an Iowan.) What st. Paul
gal, who has been going steady
with a Minneapolitan for the past
year, has been corresponding with
a young man in Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, through the Port of Lonely
Hearts in one of our leading news
papers? ('Tis said, she's much in
love with him but has never seen
him. Amt it grand?) Saw
LAW RENEE BROWN riding
round in his family's sharp green
Buick. (Say, is Lawrence making
track to St. Paul these days or is
it still Minneapols?)
And Mrs. T. just came in and
tells this about her little boy, who
yesterday asked her, "Ma, where
was Pa born?" ain Boston, my
dear" "And where were you
born ?" "In Philadelphia, my dear"
"And where was born?" In Bos-
ton, my dear" 'Well," said the
little dear, isn't it funny how we
three people got together?"
What big scandal involving
Minneapolis would-be biggie and
two St. Paul biggies is about
to be made public round about
Halloween. It'll make your ears
tingle when you hear it. Watch
out for it, E. Congrats and best
of luck to LOUNEER PEMBER-
TON and MILDRED WEIGHING
TON on their recent marriage.
SAILS Girl Tuesday says she saw
the GEORGE BERRYS (Thelma
Sayle) the other night and they
both looked too fine for words.
Friends are all raving over the

modern for words. Song of the

Rainbow" It's really pretty. g.
A certain Twin City clergyman is
trying to help one of our young
men whose trouble seems to be
drinking too much. "Why do you
drink so much?" asked the clergy
man. "To drown my troubles" said
the young man. "And do you sue
coed in drowning them?" "No,
hang EN-" said the boy, "they can
swim"
Well, folks, that's all for this
week and here's wishing everyone
oceans of fun for Halloween.

NEW NOTE ON AN
ANCIENT WAR DEBT
cry Associated Press,

FREDERICK, Md, Oct. 12.-
Barbara Fritchie's home town
will be paying off its 5000. 900
Civil War ransom until 1851.
1t was Barbara Fritchie who
waved Union flag at Confed-
crate troops and said: Shoot if
you must this old gray head"
But she had been dead two years
when Confederate General Jubal
A. Early presented the town with
a ransom bill.
In 1864 Early's troops marched
up from the meadows rich with
corn" and entered Frederick after
day of fighting. Early notified
the city fathers he wanted 500
barrels of flour, 5000 pounds of
coffee, 5000 pounds of sugar, g.
600 pounds of salt and 10000
pounds of bacon.
His note added: 1--WE require
of the mayor and town authori-
ties 100000 in current money for
the use of this army"
Early gave the town the choice
of furnishing provisions or
money.
The mayor and aldermen con-
ferred with the banks and de-
cided to pay in cash. Early sent
wagon into town and the banks
loaded it with bushel baskets of
greenbacks.
While Early marched on to-
ward Washington, an argument
arose here as to who should pay
the money. The city finally
agreed to pay $123.0O0 and bor-
rowed the money to repay the
banks. In 1888 this obligation
. was consolidated with the rest of
the city debt. Bonds were is
sued to cover it in 1918.
Frederick didn't have the
money to pay the bonds when
they came due; so the issue was
refunded. The last of the bonds
won't be paid off until 1851.

navy patrols, both destroyers and
planes.

Junior Star Scropbook
BY Florence B. Alexander.
THE EAGLE.

When Congress chose the most
rapacious Of all birds as the emblem
of the United States, Benjamin
Franklin wrote:
For my part, wish the bald eagle
had not been chosen as the repre-
sentative of our country. He is a
bird of bad moral character; he does
not get his living honestly: he Is
generally poor, and often lousy: the
turkey is much more respectable
bird and withal true original
native of America. He Is, besides
tthough little vain and silly, it is
true, but not the worse emblem
for that, bird of courage and
would not hesitate to attack a
grenadier of the British guards who
should presum to invade his farm
yard with a. red coat on"
Yet, from time immemorial, the
eagle has symbolized power. Assyria.
Babylon, Persia and Egypt claimed
him as their omen of victory" So
did the French Empire. Roman le-
gions were not permitted to carry
any ensign but the eagle, because,
wrote Josephus, "he Is king Of all
birds, and the most powerful"
Charlemagne was the first to ap-
propriate a double -headed eagle,
indicative of the union of the Ro-
man and Germanic empires. Aus
tria adopted the two-headed en-
blem, as did Russia.

BY ROSE ANN COLLIER, IL,
Sacred Heart School.
I wandered though the attic one day
When 1t was too rainy and cold to
play.
In a corner I saw drab old chest
But the wonders inside I never
guessed.
When I turned the rusty key spied
Wonderful treasures hidden inside.
My great aunt's dress, worn, but
fine;
A bracelet of intricate design,
A cooking book, some children's toys
Hints Of many tears and joys.
Some love letters then came to view
Neatly tied up with a ribbon Of blue
Some knitting half finished and laid
away,
A family album, some valentines gay
Then came q baby's picture and q
lock of hair;
Next a tiny shoe, laid away with
care.
A wedding dress of pure white
Was the next to come to sight.
A filny fan came now from the
chest.
A quaint old bonnet, once someone's 8
best.
I laid away with q gentle touch
These things someone had loved so
much.
I tried to neatly close and fold
These things Of . generation now
old.
I closed the lid and turned away
From my visit = another day.

Trick Needle
Wins Prize
For Girl
Virginia Resident
Awarded Book
For Magic
BY FRAZIER THOMAS.

This trick was sent In by q girl
IN Dinwiddie, Va. It is to Mary
Wells that We are indebted for this
clever effect, which most of YOU
never dreamed could be performed.
Eject: The magician shows an
ordinary sewing needle to be un-
prepared by passing 1t for exam
nation.
He also shows a glass of water
standing on his table. He proceeds
to demonstrate his trick by dropping
the needle into the water, where it
Immediately sinks to the bottom.
He removes the needle from the
glass Of water, wipes 1t dry with a
cloth, and pronounces some magic
words, all the time rubbing it with
his fingers. Once again he places it
IN the glass Of water. To the amaze
ment OF all, this time instead OF
sinking to the bottom it floats!
Explanation: To prepare for this
trick, secretly place some ordinary
candle wax underneath your finger
nails.
After the needle has been removed
from the glass the first time, and
wiped dry. it Is then coated with the
wax while the magician is pro-
nouncing his magic words.
Now, when the needle is dropped
into the glass of water, it will float
on the surface as nicely as you
please.
Once again, thank you very much,
Mary Wells. Your book of Oriental
magic was mailed to you some time
ago. I hope you enjoy reading it
and performing the many interest
ing tricks described therin.
Remember, boys and girls, If you,
too, would like to have a fine book
on Oriental magic, sit right down
and write me a letter describing
some simple trick that you have
seen demonstrated. Please write
plainly, and try to be sure that the
trick you describe hasn't already
appeared on this page.
Mail your letter to Frazier
Thomas, care OF The Evening Star
If your trick is accepted for pub
lication, you will receive the book
OF magic.
