At the Seaside

When I was down beside the sea A wooden spade they gave to me To dig the sandy shore. My holes were empty like a cup, In every hole the sea came up Till it could come no more. Robert Louis Stevenson,

Boy Writes Letter Of Tkankfulness

The following letter was received at the Richmond Friends' office last week. The English may not be very correct, but there is no fault to be found with the gratitude which this 13-year-old boy expresses so simply and sincerely. The letter reads: Hamburg, June 21st. On tho dour society nf friomls: I thank you very much for the fino paten, which you have spent us. We pot usually 3 times in the week it gives Chocolate-Hup, 2 times peas-sup and one time rice.

Here it gives only 5 little slices ol bad, very bad, bread. Those & little slices I have formerly eaten at tho breakfest. Of the sup we got 2 soup-plates fail, occasionally 3 plates. We are all very fond of the eaten. We were examined by tho school doctor. He said, that we all badly nourished. First out of our school 14 boys were allowed to eat, now eat with about fifty boys.

CHILD GUESTS PROVE LIKEABLE TO HOSTS It is a general saying around the Y. M. C. A. building, -where they have been guests this week, that the boys of the Osterlin orphans' home, of Springfield, Ohio, who are visiting in Richmond, are likeable and well mannered. They are obedient, and keep well within rules and the people at. the Y with whom they have enjoyed their swimming and other Boys' department privileges, have liked to have them in the building. Nearly all the boys of the home have taken advantage of tho swimming privilege offered them by Mr. Harding of the Y. M. C. A, and many of them havo learned to swim.

JAMES W. COE TAKES THRILLING AIR RIDE A rido in an aero-boat over the Atlantic ocean was tho achievement of James Wiggins Coe, 211 North Fifteenth street, when he was visiting In Pennsylvania, New Jersey and other Eastern states, last week. The plane was called an aeroboat because the bottom part of it looked like a row boat, with two planes above it. This is a little different from a hydroplane. There aro many different kinds or water planes, just as there are many different kinds of airplanes. James jumped into tho cockpit of the piano, where there were places for four people besides the pilot. On tliis trip, however, only a lady and James were passengers. They started up from Atlantic City, Of, rather, down, as they went sliding down a sloping chute right into the ocean. The pasengers were not tied in, in any way, which is different from any ride which has been taken around Richmond as far as we know. When they hit the water, James said it felt as if they hit a board instead of the water, they hit so hard. (We suppose it is something like the feeling when you dive and land flat on your stomach then you think perhaps you hit a board instead of water). Alter they shot into the water, they skimmed along for a hall mile, and then began to rise into the air. As they rose into the air, James felt as if the plane was standing still and the earth was sinking. When they reached a certain height, they began to sail straight ahead, at the rate of a mile per minute. "It felt as if we were going fast," James reported, " and the white caps of the waves looked like Btreaks of snow from where wo were." After a ride of 20 miles, which occupied only 20 minutes of time, the aero-boat descended into the water again and then came up the sloping landing onto dry ground again. James felt good after his ride and would have liked to have gone again. The pilot of the machine in which James rode was a French aviator wlio has been driving planes in the vicinity of Atlantic City for two years. As far as we can learn, James is the only Richmond boy who has ridden in an airplane or any sort of flying plane. After this, however, he will settle down to bicycle riding again. CLAUDE GOULD SLEEP THRU BAND PRACTISE It is the opinion of Assistant Boys' Secretary Wobb, of the Y. M. C. A., that Claude Bond could sleep through an earthquake or a cyclone or any sort of terrible upheaval in perfect peace, after his experience, Saturday night. This is how it happened: Mr. Webb and Mr. Chamness and seven boys of the Association wont on an all night hike. The route lay along Clear creek. After supper and stories by the campfire, the time was about 9:30 every boy and man on the tramp rolled up in his blanket as if to go to sleep. Claude went right to sleep; no one else did, though. Some one was sure to snore, oract like it, Just as some one else wa3 about to fall asleep, and then the second one would have to kick the first ono, and then njobably he would kick two somo ones instead of one, and so it kept up, until 4 o'clock in the morning, no one getting any sleep but the "undisturbablo" Claude, whom at last, they awakened about 4 o'clock Sunday morning. After a short Bible lesson in the woods, the hikers shouldered their blankets and began to tramp it home. They reached the Association building about 7:30 o'clock. No boy under 12 years of age could qualify for this hike. The boys who went on this Jaunt were Willard Crandall, Claude Bond, Cleo Homrighous, Scott Porter, Robert Brown (guest of Scott Porter), Dale Anderson, and Virgil Conolly.

The building above was where the Republican presidential nominee first went to school at Corsica, Ohio. It is now a vine-covered blacksmith shop. The other building is the schoolhouse at Jacksonlur( Qhio, where Cox received his early education,
