"Penrod"—Boy Story Booth Taringion's newest boy story, "Penrod," rings with a note of genu- iness. Penrod i.-? not a particularly good boy; neither is he a bad boy. He is rather tiie irrepressible inlma- table boy that once lived in every man. He has freckles aud is just chock-a- block full ot health. He's a boy w*lh a dog, who lives in the great big out-of- doors.
To know that life itself is richer than any rules of living, that boyhood i —iiie days of hookey, marbles, spring ¦ fever and belly acnes—Is its reward, to recall the delicious whims, the ups and downs and ins and outs of that picturesque urchin In knee breeches

LONG ISLAND SHOW DOOS
There is a di.Terence betwene dogs of polite kennel club affiliations and eugenic antecedents and the plain Towser of commerce.
The Long Island Kennel Club has learned through bench show experi¬ ence that young dogs, unused to ap¬ pearing in large assemblages of theii kind, are apt to lack manners on such I occasions.
Style goes with breeding and class in kennel club exhibitions. Unschool¬ ed pups without the essentials of grace and deportment may not be ex¬ pected to receive the collar of merit.
The club's committee this year urg¬ es its members who intend to make entries at the next show to introduce their young dogs at intervening club meetings to familiarize them with the surroundings.
There are those who will protest that this is all nonsense, but the fact reinalns that breeding and bringing up have prevented the canine species from becoming kioodle half breeds.

THE WRONG WIG WAGS
The South Side Signal has discover¬ ed that it has been giving the people of Babylon the wrong wig-wags. Founded by a Democr.at, It has re¬ nounced Its faith and become convert¬ ed to Republicanism. In the future It will make the claims, espouse the cause, fight the skirmishes and flash only the approved signals of the G. O. P.
Can it be that Byron knew the change was coming when he wrote "By the Rivers of Babylon we sat down and wept?" We sat down and wept by the waters
Of Babel, and thought of the day When our foe, in the hue of its slaugh¬ ters
Made Salem's high places his prey; And ye, oh her desolate daughters!

The seventh annual outing of the Society for the Suppression of Unne¬ cessary Noises, held In New York on April first was no Joke.

sential basis of conduct." The com¬ mon virtues of purity, honesty, sobri¬ ety, security of life are the fruits of the religion which the church teaches, and no people have ever long main¬ tained a moral code without a church, rleigion and its ethical Ideal. Morals make your home safe, your property secure, your neighborhood a decent place in which to live.
3. You will also usually find the church persistently promulgating the teachings that Inspire self sacrificing interest In human welfare and there¬ for 'antlcedent to, and the active cause of every uplift movement for liuinau betterment. No such move¬ ment long endures or gets anywhere without the church behind It to boost it along.
Therefore-lt follows that the church Is one of the world's greatest Institu¬ tions, working upon personal conduct and character directly and bearing fruit in ways that benefit every man in every community in our land.
He who values morals and who seeks a home where life Is secure and property stable, where schools are good, and society congenial, ought in all good conscience to do his fair share for the church whether he is In full accord with Its tenets or not. No one should be a parasite living off the free bounty of others generosity. It Is to be hoped therefore that the Go To Church Sunday in Freeport, which this paper takes pleasure in

Inside of the larger sconces are lit¬ tle pegs which register the pints; of- limes the fellows try to lower the 11- -luid a peg—hence the expression, "Take you down a peg."
If there cliances to be a chap at the table who is something of a drinker, the other men attempt to drain the sconce before It reaches him. Efforts to accomplish this are ofteii ludricous. When one drinks, he must not take his lips from the sconce; if this is done, the sconce passes on.
The man who holds the position next to the man whom the table Is endeavoring "to do out of a drink'' Is most unfortunately placed, fm* it is then up to him to "Uoor"—finish—the sconce. Generally he will havo to drink about twice as much as anyone else. If this is the case, the others lok on, and with words of advice and encouragement cheer the matyr on.
