preached a very nice sermon on Lent last Sunday evening, a week

ago. . , " We celebrate Lent because Jesus Christ did his suffering during this time. The Christians should withdraw from worldly pleasures and amusements as much as possible.

4 When Little Dickie Swope's a Man " Story of Some One-Time Richmond Boys and a Circus ,

Remember" that funny' little verse, Riley-made- up, which tells about plans boys made; about - what they were going to do when they grew up . It goes like this: - ."When little Dickie Swope's a man, He'B go', to be a .Sailor;

An' little Harney Tincher, he's A-go' to be a Tailor: - . Bud Mitchell, he's ago' to be : . - A stylish Carriage-Maker; . An' when I grow a grea'-4)ig man, I'm go" to be a Baker!" .

And sometimes we grow up to

be what we think we'd like to be , when we're "kids' 'and go on working with what we had fun with then, and, sometimes we do something different! We thought of this verse as we have been hearing stories this past week from people who knew and played with the Wright- brothers when they lived in Richmond as boys, telling about the fun these boys had with the other boys in their neighborhood. As some people have asked to see the stories published and as we have so much enjoyed the stories we have heard of these boys, some of them later destined to be World famed,we are glad to tell junior readers a little about them. Indiana May Boast First Telephone System'

Early in 1880 and for several years later there were no tele- . phoneg in Richmond, not even in Indiana. But news travels- fast where there are so many books and papers and magazines, and so one day, Wilbur Wright and Gansey Johnston, two Richmond boys about 12 years old, who lived next door to each other, read in the Scientific American about the invention of the telephone. At once they set to work to make one like the one described in the magazine. Taking several baking powder cans i. and nome rope and wires, these boys fixed up telephones in the upstairs rooms of the two homes. iu3t

opposite"-each other. These were joined by wires. The boys decided to tie ropes from the telephones around their feet and when they awoke in the morning, the one who awoke first should pull on the rope to wake the other one and then they could talk. And talk they did although it might have been easier to throw up both windows and call across, they made all sorts of plans over this "telephone sys

tem,' me urst in Indiana. It is interesting now, for us to see that one of these boys, Wilbur, with his brother, became the first successful aviator in the world, and that Gansey Is now president of the Ohio Telephone company. Plans for Circus Made Over Home-Made Telephone Over this telephone the boys planned a big parade and circus, probably several of them, but one

especially that we . have heard about. The "big parade', 'went down Main street. At the head rode one of the boys, Rush Miller, son of Col. J. F. Miller, on his white pony. Behind him, walked Gansey Johnston leading the "lion," a large black setter dog with long hair. Carts with the "animals" followed, pulled by Wilbur and Orville Wright, . who were also ringmaster and manager of the show, and Bird ' .Johnston. . There was . a splendid stuffed bear, a stuffed deer, . with handsome . 6-pronged horns, and a stuffed eagle with wings wide spread. The panther followed looking more dangerous than he really was for it was one

of the boys, Harry Morrow, son on

Mrs. J. K. Morrow, who now lives at 36 South Fourteenth street, inside' of a beautiful panther skin. A lively home-made band added spirit to the parade , .. Bird Johnston managed . the

movement of the parade 'and it isi

Interesting to know and this makes us think of the Riley poem that he" is still interested in transportation, being now connected with the-Pennsylvania railroad system and that in the March number, of : the - magazine named "Outer's Reereation" he has writ-

'.teh a stery about "Deer Hunting."

And, hack In about 1885, he pulled the wagon with the stuffed . deer on it, in the circus parade! 1 T . . nrn L . .1 .i ,, ,
