Brother and I went over to the doctor’s house and joibed his boys in the front yard. The snow was about ankle deep, crinkly under the foot, and Exercise In the Open Alr. Any system of physical culture which does not include at least from two to four hours’ gemtle exercise a’ day in the open air, three square meals and nine hours of sleep is of the Evil One. So far as it passes itself off as a substitute for real exercise and fresh air, or encourages you to neglect these, it is a fraud and a failure. Practically nine-tenths of all the advertized systems must be put down in this class.—Woods Hutchin: son in “Exercise and Health.” the air was crisp and clear, The eldest | understand? |of the doctor’s boys had been presented with a new derby hat for Christmas— the first derby that ever came to Iron- dale. There—I-just had to let the name of the town slip out. 7 Clainie—that 'was what we called the biggest boy—was intensely proud of that new hat. He wore it at breakfast that morning, his brothers said. When we all gathered in the yard to pop the crackers his derby was on the back of his head. We pooled our property by putting the fifteen bunches of fire- crackers in a heap on the snow. . Near at hand lay a piece of punk, burning slowly. 3 Just to see if we had a hatful of fire- crackers Clainie put his prized derby over the heap. Some of the crackers stuck out at one side. The littlest boy ~dead mary years now—picked off one of the crackers, touched it to the punk, and when it spluttered fire he dropped it. The cracker went under one side of the hat. That was the point where the frolic became a tragedy. All of us were discussing the prob- lem of firing a whole bunch of crack- ers at oncé when sinidenly there was & ripping explosion which drew our at- tention to Clainie’s derby. The hat was considerably - divided against itself. One powdery plece of it struck me on the nose. The rim, a ragged ruin, flew over the fence into the street. The rest of it disappeared at various places in To paraphrase thé line from the poemi of the boy who stood on the WNM “The hat—oh, where was Clainle’s grief was twofold. He had lost his new hat, and all the firecrack- ers had gone up In one big explosion. All of us were disconsolate. But the dear old doctor—I think he is living yet A | and very 0ld now~took pity on us and gave each of us & dime wherewith to se & bunch aplece. 3 ‘there nowaduys they pop fire- crackers on the Fourth, but I dare say Britain’s Tongues, Within the narrow compass of the British Isles no fewer than seven lan- guages are spoken.
