THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM. SATURDAY, AUGUST 19. 1916 Santa Claus Buys L Toys' for Holiday Training Japanese Officers Children Hold Goose Funeral

The great war. will not prevent Santa Claus from buying toys for the little boys and girls this year. Although the big factories have closed in Germany, Santa Claus has made arrangements with factories in ..the United States and in Japan, and they will supply him with eifough dolls, horses, arks, tops, boats and guns so that he will have enough for all the boys and girls in this country. Santa Claus was very much disturbed at the first Christmas after the war broke out, for the chance were that he would not be able to obtain enough toys for the thousands of boys here and in 'the countries where the war is raging. But now he says he has all the toys he needs.

Last of Tacomans ; Escapes Bullet The great warrior Oneidas stood - on the highest point of the land in theRocky mountains looking far to the 'east at a dust cloud. Nearer and" nearer it came until at last he couid see that it was not buffaloes, as he had Bupposed, but white men. He ran down the western slope of the : hill and told the Indians in their cave home the news. The white men were soon On the top-of the hilL above the Indians. There were many large boulders on top of the hill and every white man got one and rolled it down on the Indians. All the Indians were killed except Oneidas and he was crawling up the side of the mountain on his hands and knees until he came in front of one of the boulders which the leader ot the white men was Bitting on. Oneidas jumped up and sounded his war whoop for the last time, and called out, "You have killed my brothers. Now kill me." The soldiers were at first so astonished that they did not shoot, and then they thought it was such a brave act that they let him escape down the hill, and he was never seen again. .r RICHARD THORNBURGIL Black Beauty - Beauty is the little black pony jwno Deiongs to one of our Richmond boys, and he can shake hands and say both yes and no.

Something? to Write About Out at the Glen there is a pitchfork tree. It is just west of the bridge over those little falls by the pool where the elks drink, and it looks just exactly as though a big giant had stuck his giant pitchfork down in the ground when he was busy working and the handle had grown into a tree trunk, and the prongs had eprouted and grown into leafy branches. And I , know there is a story about how that pitchfork tree got there.' Can you tell me? Boys Give Show A future rival of Wallace-Hagen-beck's or Ringling Brothers' started their career in Edward Nusbaum's back yard la6t Thursday, when Griffin Jay, William Reid and Edward Nusbaum gave a combination vaudeville and wild west show. Shooting feats and slight of hand tricks kept the large audience in suspense., There were eight present, and besides the gate receipts (the admission being one cent) enough had been donated to make up a total of eighteen cents cleared; and after the exhibition the three owners of the North 13th street Shows invested their newly earned capital in ice cream sodas. Boy Scouts Form Fourth Patrol Four patrols have now been formed in the Boy Scouts, and the boys are doing fine work. There is a fight between the Eagles and Tigers to win honors for the best patrol, but the Tigers are handicapped. The Eagles have two signalling men, two first aid men, one bugler and one drill sergeant. The Tigers have one bugler. The Tigers are expecting the basket ball championship, but the Eagles are going to fight hard. The four patrols are the Stag, with Dick TownBend, patrol leader, the Wolf, with Newell Hill patrol leader, the Flying Eagle with Ken neth Dollins leader, and the Tiger with Frank Crow leader. There are three new members. Wo now have twenty-eight. We want four more to join us. KENNETH DOLLINS

Dog Loves Cat

About the funniest combination in Richmond is the companionship between a cat and dog whose master lives in the eastern part of the city. When the cat was a kitten its mother died, so the family fed the little one milk. The dog saw the care that was bestowed on the little orphan. It formed an attachment to the kitten,, watching it carefully, taking it back of the neck and carrying it into the yard when the kitteu strayed out of the yard. With age, the attachment between the cat and dog increased until now they are inseparable companions. 1 CAMP FIRE GIRLS The Akipsaya Camp Fire had a short business meeting Friday afternoon at the home of Miss Janet Seeker of South 14th street. Plans for the camping trip which the girls are expecting to take the first of September were discussed. The Wahpikameki Camp Fire held a ceremonial meeting Wednesday at the home of Miss Edith Haworth. Besides the awarding of honors, one of the members was made woodgatherer, and reports of the way honors had been won were read. The mothers and friends of the girls had been invited and a general good time was enjoyed. t BOY SCOUTS . The time is growing short now for the .final practice work of the exhibition which the Boy Scouts will give the . last Saturday of the Chautauqua. The entertainment will show all sides of Boy Scout life, including firBt aid, signaling, tower building, drilling, a skirmish, and bugling. It will be well worth seeing. But the Chautauqua will mean more to the Boy Scouts than performing. The patrol flags which will fan the breetes above their three tents, will proclaim to the world that there is a "mighty hot time" going on inside at least that is what one of the patrol leaders intimated. The Conebo. Shippo, Cocoamo and Yahua tribes ot Amazon Ind- j ians are still wearing clothes of, grass.

Dear Editor: Last spring mama bought ten goose eggs. I put them under my favorite hens, Spotty and Downy. After four weeks of waiting out came four little goslings, When they were about three weeks old, two of them wandered away. Three weeks later one of them died. My little friends Vair and Rhea Schepman were visiting me so we had quite a goose funeral. The one that is left is getting to be quite a big gray goose. Mamma says he will make a dandy roast for Thanksgiving. I am nine years old and will be in the fifth grade. I will be glad when school begins. MAYBELLE STEDDOM

Girls Help Soldiers The little girls of France are not letting the men in the trenches suffer from lack of the little comforts girls can make or buy for a few cents. Many of them have made little kits containing needies, thread and buttons. The soldiers find these little kits very convenient, for they never know when they will tear their uniforms or need a button. The girls also buy chocolate and candies and send them to the soldiers. Boy City And so at the council meeting Thursday night the boys must be without their head! Poor Councilmen! And all tho weighty affairs of the city, such as children running across people's lawns, and the location of play grounds, settled, all by themselves. No wonder they want all the boys of the city to crowd in the gallery and be present; they need all the encouragement they can get. But there is one thing that all other fellows of Richmond can do, and that is show your interest in keeping the city law abiding and orderly by applying for a job as Junior Policeman. Think how grand it would be to wear one of those shiny little badges and make everybody do as you -say! Apply right away to Frederick Fromm, Roland Cutter, or Herschel Nicholson, the Police Board, and be sure your name will be on the list when they are finally chosen. Centennial Notes It used to be in those first days of Wayne county that when the people needed salt, just common ordinary salt that we can buy any time or any place we ask, everyone in the neighborhood would join in together and send a wagon down to Cincinnati full of deer skins and raccoon skins and maple sugar, and all sorts of things and after about ten days here the lumbering old wagon would come back again clear full of salt, which would have to last the neighborhood for a whole year. am Alroarlv
