Little Stories (First Prize) In Electric Park. By Ruth Ithodea. Aged 12 Years. Lander, Wyo. Bed Side. Two years ago, when wo had been vis iting my grandma and grandpa. In Penn sylvania, we stayed a tow days In Kan sas City, Mo., on our way back homo, heoause mamma and papa used to live thera. One evening we went to Electric park, which fully Uvea up to its name, for there aro electric lights everywhere, and all tho amusements are run by electricity. The first thing we did was to go through a place called "Ye Olde Mill," In h bout which was run on an electric cable, as there was water underneath us. On either side of us were snakes and dragons, with red, green or bluo olectrlc lights for eyes. Thoro wero also skele tons, wrecked ships, eta, and In one place sat the devil, on a huge throne. A faint red light was ov'er everything, nnd, taken altogether, It was a very good representation of hades. Next, wo walked Into tho huge red mouth of an alligator, from which sounds were Issuing forth, and when we had gone but a few feet wo turned a corner, nnd found ourselves In utter darkness. Wo went down a narrow Pas sageway, when wo camo to a treadmill, which kept turning backwards, and the only way wo could get over was by pull ing ourselves up on an Iron rod at tho side. Safely over, we Went a Httlo fur ther, and camo to a placo which, I sup pose, was to lepresent the alligator's "wtnd-plpe," because a currant of air ran through tho place and the boards of the, floor wero on hinges, all crinkled up to look, like waves of air In motion. Every step we took, tftcy dropped down ward, with a Jolt that knocked tho breath outf'of 'Us. ( Next, wo .arrived at .a placo where sev eral boards Were gone from the floor nnd what thera' were, wore set- haphaz ard, so' that' wo had to be extremely careful not' to step. In a hole and fall down. Of course, this' Was all In complete dark neps, and wo Wero mighty glad when, after ascending some shaky steps and Kolng through a very largo barrel, which, lying on its side, was turning tound and round, wo stepped out of the. alligator Just as wo stepped -off, it. gave a loud toot, which, being unexpected, inado us all Jump. Wo did not ride on the "Scenlo Hall way," but after riding on tho merry-go-round, and a tiny toy train', eating eomo Ice cream and listening to tho band play, we boarded a street car and went back to our 'hotel.

DOMESTIC BUDGETS SCIENTIFIC Scheme, of Home Expenditures, Onoe Adopted la Carried. Oat to Letter Plan Adds to Joy of ltv!nnr. PABIS, July . filmon W. Straus of Chicago, the president ot the American Society for Thrift, has Just finished sev eral months of inquiry on the continent Into the origins of economy among Euro pean peoples. "I should say that a French family can live off of what an American family wastes," said Mr. Straus. "The principal reason, ot course, is in a habit of mind; in a way of looking upon the relative values of efficient living as compared with Inefficient and wasteful living! One may be as extravagant with a dollar as with a million. "Now, tho self-denial of the French In food and in other necessities of living often is carried Into what I should con sider oxcess, but there is nevertheless aVhoughtful, Intelligent thrift in the French household which contributes to the happi ness and well being of every member. It is that eort of thrift which I should like to see cultivated In American families a. careful adjustment according to a thought-out plan of the domestic budget, so much for rent, food, clothing, educa tion, the dowry of the daughter, the amusement of every member of tho family,'- the provision for emergencies and old age. Schedules nationally Made. "When a rcheme ot expenditure la adopted in the French home and every French home. It la said, is a parllament and carried out, every item ot expendi ture can be made with a certain content ment or even Joy because it is known to be a harmonious relation with the whole. This makes French amusements ao thor oughly enjoyed because there Is no feel ing of extravagance on the part of those amusing themselves. They take their amusements, and, what might be to tho observer Indulgences, happily, and with out inward sense of discomfort and wrongdoing because these expenses fit Into the rational scale of living which haa been wrought out earnestly and ration ally.

One day I was sitting on tho dooratep playing, when mother called'mo and said, "You- have a letter from your Uncle Frank Inviting you to come and visit him whllo ho is staying on his ranch." Of coUrse, tho first words I said were, "Oh! May I go?" "Yes, you may go. Father and' I have been talking it over, and we have decided that you can start Studies to Teach Children Joyousness and BY M. E. THOMAS. The school ground should be the public playground," says Miss Pansy Higgins, who has been making a study of children and the proper exercises for them while attending school. "Every playground should havo proper equipments and teachers who have taken a course of training In the playground work, that is, Interesting games and ex ercises, should be in charge of these playgrounds. These already belong to the public, so why spend valuable funds to buy special playgrounds while the public school grounds are not being used, instead spend the money to train the teachers in this great movement," says Miss Higgins. Miss Illgglns, who has been awarded a scholarship in tho government school of gymnastics at Copenhagen, Denmark, is the only American girl this year to re ceive this scholarship and has been chosen by Miss Dagny Pcdersen of Co penhagen to continue her work In Chi cago as Mlsa Pedersen's successor. Miss Pedersen and Mlsa Higgins have com pleted a book based on physiology, which will be published this fall. Miss Higgins goes to Copenhagen to complete her course preparatory to as sisting In the great fight to have the Danish system of exercises' In the school supplant the German system, which Mis Higgins and Miss Pedersen contend Is too strenuous for the average child In school. "I hated school, didn't you?" asked Miss Higgins. And I wondered how she won scholarships and honors, but I soon found that sho loved her "work now 'and her enthusiasm and faith In her work will certainly win her greater success. "It Is not uncommon to see the Danish men and boys take off their hats as they pass their former school In reverence, admiration and loyalty to tho place whore they received their education, and spent so many pleasant hours. To make the Amer ican school children like school Is one of the greatest movements ot the age," says Miss Higgins, "and tho only way to accomplish it la to establish tho Dan ish games, which are really interesting exercises, In the school curriculum, and not make the young child, full ot youth, ful restlessness, alt In one position for hours. It takes an unusually strong child to stand the discipline.

Not only Its hlitorlal attractions and the beauty nt its scenery makes this route interesting, but ocean travelers from the middle west BUtes as well as from Canada.appreclato the fact that It is the shortest route be tween the old world and the new. The Boyal George, wh(ch Is the company's flagship, has done the trip from Mon treal to Bristol, England, in tivn days and twenty hours, In which tlmo It was only three 'days and fourteen and ono half hours out of sight nt land. Thcro never has been nt tho disposal of the traveler between Europe and America such speed and luxury hh are now af forded by tho Boyal Edward and tho Boyal George. Montreal Is now con nected with the west of England and with 1-ondon by the shortest sea route travelled by the fastest steamers. Noth ing In tho whole range of travel Is equal to this trip from Montreal by the bcautl ful St. Lawrence to the sea. For nearly a thousand miles the steamers follow a sheltered land-locked course. Practically a third of the entire Journey to England Is a perpetual procession of Interesting bcenery, some of It the most beautiful on this continent. Beginning with the thousand mile rccnlo trip down the majestic St. Uw- rence and terminating on the classlo Avon, right at th main street of Bristol town, tho voyage Is unique In charactor. Beyond Quebec tho steamer continues ocean-ward under tho shadow of the bold 1-uurcntlun range which fringes the northern banks of the lower St. Law rence Here are the scenes celebrated by tho old Jesuit writers, and there Murray buy, Blvlere do Loup, Cacouna, Todousac and other famous watering places flit by. At tho mouth of the great Saguesay la the Jesuit mission chapel built In 1M7, which was an object ot the munificence of Louis XIY. Leaving the Belle Isle straights more than two full days after he embarked the traveller turns from what haa been a wonderful panorama and, stirred with Its beauty and historical significance ho seeks the llbary to supplement the gaps in his memory. Then for the first lm h becomas fullv conscious ot the Their Own Page them to go Inside. After having entered each little girl exclaimed, "Oh, what a Joke! But where Is tho president?" That morning John had placed some of his mother's chairs Inside and he told tho girls to bo seated whllo he went to one corner nnd drew aside a curtain Here was a sand man of his own mak ing.. The girls were delighted. It had a aloveplpo hat In Its hand and John's father's old coat on. "How did yon ever do It?" aaked Ger trude. "Is that all.'" "No, It Isn't," said John emphatically. Then he distributed flowers among the girls Until they had thrlr arms full. All declared they had never had a bet ter Joke. Little Orphan Annie. By Flora Anstlne, Humboldt, Neb. Aged It.

Every Sunday afternoon the little orphan would gn to tho house of her friend and read storlei and feed the chickens.

The beautiful details of carving, whllo reproducing the charm of the decorative work of tha sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, aro treated with a vigorous Individuality which ndds considerably to their interest In the embellishment ot the public rooms the object aimed at has nut been so much to produce a floating palace, as to sur round the traveler of refined tastes with a luxurious temporary home. No detail for comfort, however, alight, haa been neglected, from auch an Important matter as a perfect ventilation system to the Installation of electric curling tongs In every state room. In addition to this safety equipment tho steamers are divided Into ten com partments by water tight bulkheads while a cellular double bottom has been fitted from stein to stern. The additional life boats nnd rafts which have been recently Installed bring their capacity up to tha full complement of passengers and crow.
