PECK’S BAD BOY ~IN AN AIRSHIP Gradu:tes F;om (;rp.hans; Home

(Copyright, 1908, by W. G. Chapman.) There is no encouragement for inventive genius in this orphans’ home that I am honoring with my patronage. I always supposed that an orphanage was a place where they tried to make an orphan feel that it wasn’t such a great loss not to have a regular home among your people, as long as you could be lovingly cared for in big bunches by charitable people, who would act like a high school to you, and when you got a diploma from an orphans’ home you could go out into the world and hold up your head like a college graduate, but I can see from my experience at this alleged home that when we boys get out the police will have a tab on us, and we will be pinched like tramps. iy What encouragement is there to learn anything but being chambermaid to cows? Gee, but I never want to look a cow in the face again. When

I failed to milk that cow and she galloped all over the place, and kicked my liver around where my spleen ought to be, the one-eyed warden of the place told me I must practice on that cow till I got so that I could milk her with my eyes shut, and that I wouldn’t. get much to eat until I could show him that I was-a he-milk-maid of the thirty{fthird degree.

I told him I saw a machine last yvear at the state fair that had a suction pump that was put on to the cow’s works, and by touching a button the milk and honey flowed into a pail, and if he would get such a machine I could touch the button all right. He said the orphanage couldn’t afford to buy such a machine, but if I wanted to invent any device to milk cows I could go ahead, but it was.up to me to produce milk, one way or another. Well, an idea struck me just like being hit with a baseball bat, and in a short time I was ready. I got a clothes wringer out of the laundry and went to corral the cow. I thought if a clothes wringer could squeeze the blue water out of a wash tub of clothes, it would squeeze a pail of milk out of a cow, so I took my clothes wringer and the milk pail and got under the cow and gathered .all her four weiners together in my hands and put the ends of them between the rubber rollers, just easy, and the boys gathered round to see where my inventive genius was going to get off at. Then when my audience was all ready to cheer me, if the machine. worked, I took hold of the handle of the machine, which was across my lap, and turned the crank with a quick motion, until all the cow’s weiners went through between the rollers, and I noticed the cow flinched, and just then one of the sophomore boys threw a giant firecracker under the cow’s basement near the milk pail, and when the explosion came, just when I was cranking her up a second time and turning on the high speed clutch, the cow bleated as though she had lost her calf, and she went up into the air like the cow that jumped over the moon, and she went across the country on a cavalry charge, with me hanging on the handle of the wringer with one hand, on her tail with the other, and the boys giving the orphan school yell, and the cow bellowing like a whole drove of cattle that have smelled blood . .around a slaughter house. , Gosh, but I.never had such an excursion. The cow went around the house and on to the porch where the manager and some women were, and finally rushed into the kitchen, and everybody came and pried me _ a clothes wringer, when I ought to have known that a clothes wringer ‘would squeeze the milk up into the second story of the cow. | w“ 5 "" e \ngm}#‘ T'-‘.—z’é

The boys met me when I came out of the presence of the one-eyed manager, and we went off into the woods and held an indignation meeting, and passed resolutions -condemning the management of the orphanage, and I suggested that we form a union and strike for shorter hours and more food, and if we did not get it,; we could walk out, and make the orphan school business close up. We discussed what we would do and say to the boss, and just before supper time we lined up in a body before the house and called out the manager and made our demands, and gave him 15 minutes to accept, or out we would go, and I tell you we looked saucy. . I never saw anything act as quick from the cow, and got the clothes

wringer off her vital parts, and shooed her-back to the barn, and then they took me to the manager’s office, and I fainted away. When I came to the one-eyed manager had ‘a bandage over his nose where the handle of the clothes-wring-er hit him when he tried to turn the handle back to release the pressure on the cow’s bananas, and he was 80 mad you could hear him “sis,” like when you drop water on a hot griddle. He got up and took me by the neck and wrung it just like I was a hen having itB neck wrung when there is company coming and he dropped me “kerplunk” and said I had ruined the best cow on the place by flattening out her private affairs so that nothing but skim milk could ever get through the teats, and he asked me what in thunder I was doing, milking a cow with as that strike did. In five minutes the manager came out and said he wouldn’t grant a thing, and besides we were locked out, and couldn’t ever get back' into the; ‘place unless we crawled on our hands and knees and stood on our hind feet like dogs, and barked and begged for food. For a few minutes not a word was said, then the boys pitched on to me and another boy that had brought on the strike, and gave us a good licking, and made us run to the woods, and

when we got nearly out of sight we turned. and all the brave dubs that were going to break up the orphanage were down on their seats on the grass, begging llke dogs to be taken back, because supper was ready, and my chum and me were pulling for tall timber, wondering where the next meal was coming from. We were the only boys in that bunch of strikers that had sand enough to stand up for union principles, and as is usually the case the fellows who had the most gravel in their crops had little else, and I was never so hungry in my life. ! A .diet of fried bull heads and skim milk, and sour bread for a few days in the orphanage had left me with an appetite that ought to have had a ten course banquet at once, _butt we walked on for hours, and finally struck a railroad track and followed it to a town. 2

My chum stopped at a freight car on a side track and began to poke around one of the oil boxes on a wheel, and when I asked him what he was going to do, he said that to a hungry man the cotton waste and the grease in a hot box of a freight car was just as good as a shrimp salad, and he began to poke the stuff out of the hot box to eat it. He said the lives of tramps were often saved by eating out of hot boxes. I swore that I would never eat no hot box banquet, and I pulled him away from the box car just as -a brakeman came along with a hook and a can of oil and a bucket of water to cool it off, and we escaped. I told him we would have a good supper all right, if he would §tick by me.

We went into the little town and it was getting dark, and all the people were out doors looking up into the sky, and saying: “There it is, I see it,” and I asked a man in front of a saloon what the excitement was about, and he said that they were watching the balloons from St. Louis, about 200 miles away, which were sailing to the east. ; .

Did you ever have an idea strike ‘ you so sudden that it made you dizzy? ‘ Well, I was struck with one so quick that it made me snicker, and I pulled my new chum away and told him how we would get supper and a place to sleep, and that was to go into the woods near where the people were looking up into the air, and when a balloon went over, after it got good and dark, we could set up a yell, as though murder was being done, and when the crowd came to see what was the matter, he could say we fell out of - ‘a balloon, and landed in a tree and squirmed down to the ground. Well, I didn’t want to lie, but my chum, who had once been in a reform school, did not care so much about lying, so he was to do the talking and I was to be deaf and dumb, as though the fall from the balloon had knocked me silly. : ' ‘Well, when we saw a light in the sky over us and the people were going wild over thinking they saw a balloon, we began to scream like wild: cats, and groan like lost souls, and yell for “help, help.” When the people came on the run, and when they found us with our clothes torn, and our hair standing on end, and our eyes bulging out, my chum, 'the old liar, said when we were leaning over the basket of the balloon to see what town we were passing over, we fell out in a tree, and were so hungry. - Well, the way those good people swallowed that yarn was too comical, and they picked us up and took us

into a house. A pussy woman got me under her arm and said: “Poor dear, every bone in his body is busted, but I saw him first, and I am-going to have him mended and keep him for a souvenir,” and I hung my legs and arms down so I would be heavy, and she dragged me to the house. All 1 said was “pie, pie, pie,” and she said I was starving for pie, and when they got us in bed, with nice night shirts on, they crowded around us and began to feed us, and we took everything from soup to mints, and went to sleep, and the last thing I heard was balloon talk, and the women who drew me in the shuffle said: “The ways of Providence are past finding out,” and as 1 rolled over in bed I heard my chum in another bed say: “You can bet your sweet life,” and then the people began to go away, talking about the narrow escape of those dear boys, and my pussy fat lady held my hand and stroked my aching stomach until long after midnight, and then she tip-toed off to bed. I spoke to my chum and said: “Did it work out all right?’ and he groaned and said: “Gee, but I et too much, I otter have saved some of it for breakfast,” and ther we went to sleep in nice feather beds jnstead of those beds at the. orphanage made of

SR 2N ROVIAN ALTAR ILY WALL AT BRINTAY 2%

There is, indeed, a great deal of romance in the tale of the Roman Walli of England, the remarkable piece of. engineering, now nearly seventeen! centuries old; and the remains of the wall are well worth visiting. To see them is to realize how furious must have been the onslaughts of the Picts and Scots, and how ceaseless the vigilance of the legionaries—Gauls - or Brittons by birth, but by nature more Roman than the Romans. The making of the wall is a striking illustration of the pertinacity of the Roman character and the strength of the imperial idea. This pride of empire is clearly shown by Mr. Kipling in his story of the old wall in “Puck of Pook’s Hill,” where he makes his Roman-British soldier give voice to sentiments like the following: My father’s father saw it not, And 1, belike, shall never come ‘ To look on that so holy spot—v ~ The very Rome. When we see how the great rampart was carried its appointed length In spite of every obstacle, over hill and dale, through marsh and moorland, we have no difficulty in understanding that this sp'trit of devotion to what was even then ¥‘the Holy City” must have animated all who worked. at it. Julius Caesar was, of course, the first Roman conqueror of Britain, and he came, it is said, to punish the natives for having joined the Gauls in fighting against him.- Caesar never penetrated very far north. With his overpowering army of 50,000 men he paid his flying visits, conquering and subduing, but in each case withdrew his legions at the first approach of winter. For nearly 100 years Britain was little troubled by Rome, but in A. D. 78 the Roman general, Agricola, was sent as governor to Britain. The historian, Tacitus, son-in-law of Agricola, writes much of his relative’s conquests. Agricola’s forts seem to have suggested to Hadrian at a later date the value of such a barrier in a hostile county, which, though completely subdued, was still liable to incursions from the inhabitants of the mountain districts of Caledonia. The emperor in A. D. 120 drove back once again these fierce neighbors and the tribes of the Maetae, and, finding it impossible to keep possession of Valentia, gave up the attempt. ‘ To keep the land south of the Tyne, he built the stone rampart from the Tyne to the Solway, known as the Picts or Roman wall. The wall served not only as a barrier against the foe, but as a base of operation and standing ground for the main army of '‘Rome. Reaching from sea to sea across the narrowest part of the island, it followed an almost straight line for 73 miles, no height proving too inaccessible and no river or morass too- impracticable.. In was so built that no foe could approach within dangerous distance without being seen. It is said that'the rampart as raised by Hadrian was an earthen vallum on a stone foundation, and that the stone wall was the work of Severus. Other writers declare it all to be the work of one, Hadrian, who was well knowiu 'as a builder and architect, It is supposed that about 10,000 men were employed in building the entire line of defense. The earth vallum is visible still, and on the south of the stone wall, and north of the wall again, may be traced the big ditch. The wall apparently was about eight

feet thick, and the height has 'been estimated ‘at 18 feet. It became a still more” formidable barrier from being, as it were, heightened and protected by the ditch, which can still plainly be followed. Authorities suppose the ditch to have bheen some 40 feet wide and 15 feet deép; it accompanied the wall its entire length, and was excavated and built irrespective of rock, bog or sand. Large blocks of stone tell still of the toil and labor used in their removal, Over the wall as a whole the chief in command was the “Dux Britanniarum” (a Roman official of immmense power). Many auxiliary troops served on the wall. It was the Roman policy not to make slaves of a conauered nation, ‘but civilize them, and, when proficient in the art of war, to draft them to take part in conquests abroad. The young British soldiers excited much surprise when trained to fight with the Roman army abroad. Tacitus describes them as being of great stature, with large limbs and muscles, and having easy management of powerful weapons. He also remarks: “They are half a foot taller than the Gauls and the Gauls are a bulky race compared to the Italians.” . As the young trained Britons were carried abroad, so other conquered tribes were brought to Britain. Spanish cawvalry, Balearic slingers, Parthian bowmen and swarthy Numidians;, all probably helped the Roman and Latin infantry in manning the wall Every four miles on the south side of the great barrier was a big station or camp, covering several acres, with guardrooms, barracks, stables, governor’s house, etc.,, and four gates north, sourth, east and west, the roads from them crossing in the middle of the station. There were 23 such stations. There were also castles, joined to the wall—these were known as “mile castles,” being in almost every case a Roman mile (seven-eighths of an English mile) distant each from the other. A mile castle, however, always protected any specially weak place. On the wall, also, every fourth part of a mile, a turret, or watch-tower, was placed about ten feet square; thus, on a given alarm the whole wall 36uld be in arms from one end to the ither. The “military way,” a wonderful road south of the wall (a protected passage from station to station and castle), ran the who{e length of the wall, insuring a quick journey for ~troops, horses and provisions; part of this road is still in use and in excel lent preservation. It was originally 18 feet wide and raised some 12 inches towards the middle. The foundations can be seen after heavy rain, the stones placed edgeways. = On the same side of North Tyne as the bridge, but someé three-quarters ot a mile distant, further west, is a fine piece of the wall at Brunton, where the owner of the property kindly gives permission to pass through his garden and inspect it. The wall is eight feet high here, mortar still binds it together and trees are growing on the wide top. The fosse, which may be p&alnly traced in early summer, is beautiful with its variety of wild flowers and tangle of bramble and fern. A turret is seen on the south side infine preservation, the wall of it eight feet high. Crossing the river we come to the remains of the other abutment of the bridge and the wonderful. excavations of the station of Cilurnum.,

s g The £ ‘General Demand of the Well-Informed of thea World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which @‘xyaeum could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. =ln supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. .

It is more difficult for him to swear that he hasn’t been able to make an¥ collections himself since the first of the year. A doctor’s reception room s open to all possible patients. A collector with a grain of ingenuity cam find a way to worm out of the men on the waiting list information as to the terms of payment.

Microscopic Writing. : A remarkable machine made by & lately deceased member of the Rowal Microscopical society for writing with a diamond seems to have been broken up by its inventor. A specimen of its works is the Lord’s prayer of 227 Jet--ters, written in the 1237000 of a square inch, which is at the rate of 53,880,000 letters or 15 complete Bibles, to a single square inch. To decipher the writing it is necessary to ase a 1-12-inch objective, which is the high power lens physicians employ for studying the most minute bacteria . Populous China. The population of the Chinese empire is largely a matter of estimate. There has. never been such censas d"‘ the empire as that which is taken every decade in this country. But the estimate of the Almanach de Gotha for 1900 may be taken as fairly reliable. According to that estimafe, the population of the empire is, 'h! round numbers, about 400,000,008. It is probably safe to say that if the human beings on earth were stood mp in line every fourth one would be & Chinaman. - - : AFRAID TO EAT. o Girl Starving on 111-Selected Food. ;é! ~+ “Several years ago I was actually starving,” writes a Me. girl, “yet dared not eat for fear of the comseguences. “l had suffered from indigestion from overwork, irregular meals ﬂ; improper food, until at last my ach became so weak I couid eat scarcely any food without great distress. s -
