discussions; the third day waa given over
to a grand play festival in which 1,000 chil
dren participated in view of an assemblage
of 5.000 adult.
Play and play ground were discussed
from point of view varying from an aid
to good citizenship to the prevention of
tuberculosis and' delinquency. Play for
the city, the country, the little, the big, thai
young and the old (only then they call It
recreation). The name most familiar at

Luther Gullck, Frank J. Foster. J1U.S Jan

Henry Ii. Favlll of Chicago; Mr. Bath T.
Stewart, Mr. Gerber and Msa Marie Hofer
of New York; Dr. Henry S. Curtl of
Washington, D. C. ; Mr. Joseph Lee of
Boston. A composite paragraph attempt to
reflect the trend of the whole discussion
would run something like this:
"Play la the natural spontaneous activity
by which the whole animal world instino
tlvely fit Itself during the Immature period
for the achievement of maturity."
Why Play la .Necessary.
The developing period of the human young;
being comparatively wry long and Increas

Importance. Play, then, la the work of

"A great many Just common follows, work-

nounced a small lad returning panting
from his games. Is not this the keynote of
democratic citizenship?
Development in civic virtues on a super-
vised playground is rapid because the chll-
dren arn free to net and yot are guided
away from the deterring pitfalls which
might otherwise result from their own ig-
norance. The forming of solf-governing
organization on grounds Is the most emctent
aid to these same ends.

IENERAL Lawton's division was
murching back to El Paso, there
to take up a new position in the
morning. General "Joe" Wheeler,
In company with Major Crelghton
Webb, was standing at the edgo of tho
road, watching the troops file past. Just
as dawn was breaking a colored regiment
came in sight,. It gave evidence of being
unusually tired.
I.awton s attention had been attracted to
a corporal of the Twenty-fifth infuntry, a--
great six-foot negro. In addition to a
couple of guns and two cartridge belts,
laded full, was carrying a dog. Tho sol
dier to whom tho other gun belonged was
limping beside his comrade.
Lawton halted the men. "Here, cor
poral," he culled to the six-foot negro,
"haven't you marched all night?"
"Yes, sir," said the corporaj, salutlna.
"And fought ull day?"
"Ycsf sir."
"Then," asked the general, "why are you
carrying a dog In addition to your other
burdens'.'"
"General," said the negro, with a min
that showed every one of his twenty-two
teeth, "the dug's tired!" JJucccaa ilugu

A Germajitown woman was not long ago
watching a workman us he put up new
window fixtures In her house.
"Don't you think that you have placed
those fixtures too high?" usked she, hav-
lng reference to the curtain mil last put
In place.
The workman, a stolid German, made no
reply, but continued to adjust the fixtures.
"Didn't you hear my question?" ue
demanded the lady of the house. "How
dare you be so'rude!"
Whereupon the German gulped convul-
lively, and then replied In the gentlest of
voices:
"I haf my mouth full of schrews, und I
could not spheak till I svallow some!"

a fairly good tip. which was accepted mlth
expressions of gratitude and evident pleus-
