DOUBLES PLAYS FAIR "Dibbles" la an Interesting playground character, named by Shel Simmons. His real name is Uhl Russel. The other day Doubles and Benny Rost were going to race, so Doubles gave Benny a head start in the quarter mile to be sure they wouldn't say he cheated. Then he got ahead of him and so half way around the track he stopped and waited and when Benny caught up with him, he sprinted the rest of the way to the finish a winner. Rah, rah, rah, for Doubles! FAMILY WHISTLES Most all families have special whistles, and many clufls or groups of friends agree on some queer way of hailing each other, but do you think you would answer If someone hollowed this at you: "Hicktyminutey hockty-sockty boomdy-lay, whoo-ou!"

There was a surprise waiting for Mr. Somerville when he returned from hla vacation last week; the boys rooms down stairs had been all decorated and fixed up while he was gone. But even that did not make him change his mind about going to Russia, and he will leave in November. Boys have begun asking when Bible class will begin, even now Don't get too anxious, though, be cause ft wont be until some time

la October.

Shetches Career of Washington Perhaps you remember Booker T. Washington who was here st the Chautauqua one time. Here is a little cketch of his life: Booker T. Washington was born in a slave cabin in Virginia. He worked his way through Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. Then he started out to found another school just like Hampton where colored girl and boys could learn to work and study. On July 4, 1881. the school was opened in a little chanty in Tuskegee, Alabama. Thirty students were present; many more wanted to come. Kvery. one was poor but every one was ready to work. They soon set about to build a new school-building. They made brick and sawed lumber. They raised their food on the farm, the girls did the cooking, sewing, and housekeeping. They all studied their books between times. The school grew constantly. Booker T. Washington was the principal with many teachers helping him. Dr. Washington died last October, but the Tuskegee Institute is still one of the leading schools for colored students.

Campfire News o The Camp Fire Girls of Union City are very active, and this is the summary report that was printed in their High School newspaper, "The Blot." Since many of the Camp Fire girls here in Richmond have tried something of the sort this ought to encourage them to do as well as the girls of that little city. CAMP FIRES First of all the big Camp-Fires, Bearers of the sign "Wo-He-Lo." "Wo" for work or toil or labor. ,"He for health which all desire, "Lo" for love of birds and nature.

Careful Coachman There was a man whose coachman had quit. He applied for one at once. There were three who came fer it. He told the first to drive across the bridge and back. He stepped in, took up the lines and cracked the horses a hard blow with the whip. Off they went at a rapid pace. When he came to the bridge he drove as near the edge as possible and turned around very quickly, nearly upsetting the cab. He steped out and the next man stepped in. picked up the whip, hit the horses harder than before and drove them nearer than the other on the bridge, and turned around quicker than the first. lie stepped out and the third got In. He picked up the lines but did not touch the whip. The horses trotted off across the bridge and as near the middle as he could got, he turned around slowly and drove baek the same way. The man said: "You are the one I will take for you will be careful with ruiy family." As told by Mildred Jacobs.

Works Doll Man Miss Julia Burr was one of the fortunate people at the carnival last week to win things, for she won a big doll two feet high. But she knew how to go at this chance affair. First she got the man to show her exactly how to play the game, and then she did it right after him. MORAL Next time don't waste your money, but try her stunt. Dandelion Tries to Get Very Smart But Meets it's Fate A big glaring dandelion was growing as fast as it could at the edge of a rose bed, and it was as conceited a dandelion as you ever saw. Looking up at the nearest rosebush, it jeered out, "You thorny old thing, don't you wish you could be as beautiful as I am? Just see my lovely yellow, isn't it the most handsome color any one ever looked at?" But the rosebush kept on growing quietly, and never answered back a single word. A few days later the rosebush bloomed, and that evening when the mistress was walking in the garden, she came onto the new rose suddenly. Uttering a little cry of pleasure she bent over the lovely pink flower to touch its petals, and (hen she saw the dandelion. "You hideous, yellow thing," she exclaimed, "how did you grow up in my rose garden?" And with one snip of the scissors, its head was off. You knew that was going to happen, didn't you? The joke of it is that maybe you're just, like that dandelion when you think you're like the rosebush. Are you? THIS BOY'S LITTLE GROUCH There is a certain little boy over In West Richmond who was very cross because his mother made him stay around the house and bo quiet these hot days. Finally he couldn't stand it auy longer, and in an outburst of passion he said, "Mother, if you don't stop making me stay at home I'm going off and get married." KEEP OFF YOUR COATS Boys cannot offer the excuse that it is too hot to wear a coat and for that reason they don't want to go to Sunday school. Keep your goats off, the teachers won't care. Go to Sunday school. TURTLE SOUP More than one boy has enjoyed fine soup .made of turtles which he has caught these days. Now is the time to catch them, and the soup tastes fine.

Old Richmond Richmond was first called Smithville, because it stood largely upon the lands belonging to a certain John Smifh, but the people were not quite satisfied so they appointed three men to choose the new name, and one suggested Waterford, another Plainfield. and third (Judge Hoover) Richmond. The first streets were Main and Front streets, and most all the houses were on them. South Front is our Fourth street, and North Front is our Fort Wayne avenue,

Little Boy

There was a little boy And he bad a little gun And his bullets were made ot lead, lead, lead. He shot John Sprig Through the middle of hi3 wig And knocked off his head, head, head. Selected by Edward Beetle. Write About Tell about how many different which was made slanting to avoid a marsh.. The only church here in 1816 was a Friends' meeting, held in a leaky old log cabin. One of the most interesting citizens of that old Richmond was an inkeeper, James Baldwin, who went west to trade with the Indians and was scalped out there. But it did not kill him and he lived to come back to Richmond and died six years later in peace and civilization. All these are objects which probably will be pictured in the centennial pageant presented during the fall festival.
