OBSERVE ir
Public School to Celebrate
Washington's Birthday
Washington';* birthday will be ob
served in the public schools tomorrow
by programs in all the room*. The
twenty-sicond, which falls on Friday,
will be a holiday, so the programs are
given tomorrow. All patrons and
others interested are invited to be
present. The programs will begin at
15 p. m. in all the rooms. Several re
quests to have the exercises in the
different rooms at d fferent times were
received, but for several reasons it
?cms best to have all the programs
begin at the same time; therefore thai
pUn is followed. Following are the
programs planned for the various rooms:

DEATH BY A BOMB.
lauurlnat-y tncl<lrnt of <hc i riinru
W?r by To'.alol.
The following Imaginary incident of
die Crimean war is fouud In Count Tol
stoi's "Sevastopol:" "The bomb, com
ing faster anil faster and nearer and
nearer, so that the sparks of its fuse
were already visible, descended. 'Lie
down!' some one shouted. They lay
flat on the ground. Praskouhln. closing
61s eyes, heard only the bomb crashing
down on the haul earth close by. \
second passed, which seemed an hour,
rhe bouib had not exploded. He open
>v1 bin eyes aud at that moment caught
11 sight of the glowing fuse of the bomb
not a yard off. Terror, cold terror, ex
cluding every other thought and feel
ing. seized his whole being. He covered
h!s face with his hands.
"Then lie remembered the 12 rubles
he owed, a debt In St. Petersburg that
should have been paid long ago and the
gypsy song he had sung that evening.
The woman he loved rose In his im
agination. wearing a cap with lilac rlb
bous, and yet. inseparable from all
these and from thousands of other rec
ollections. the present thought, the ex
pectation of death, did not leave him
for a moment. "Perhaps It won't ex
plode.' and with desperate final de
cision he wished to open his eyes, but
at that instant a red flame pierced
through the still closed lids, and. with
a terrible crash, something struck him
in the middle of the chest.
"He jumped u;> and liegau 1 1 run. but. j
stumbling over the saber that got be- ,
tween his legs, fell on his side. 'Thank
God. I'm only bruised.' was his first ;
thought, and he wished fa touch his i
chest with h;> band, but hi- arms seem- '
ed tied to his sides, and* It felt as if a
vise were squeezing his head. Soldiers
flitted past him. and he c-.:iucd ther.i j
unconsciously. Then ling Ha bed
before his eyes, and he wondered
whether the sh >t were ;ir?d from a
i mortar or cannon. 'Cannon, probs- ;
bly. and her are uj >re so'dlera? fflve, [

roof of Ivs mouth.
"He felt it vet about his chest, and |
this sensation of heiii..- wet made him
think el' water. Fearing KM the sol- 1
diers might trample on him. he tried tc
shout 'Take cure with you." but instead
of that he uttered sueli a terrible groan
that he wis frightened inliearii Then

[Original]
It is not unusual for either a man or j
a woman to come between au engaged !
couple, but it is unusual for the course j
of true love to be turned awry by a |
horse. The story begins back In the
days when the India us lu the west
were constantly breaking away (roti: !
their reservations and slaughtering all !
palefaces who came In their way. It j
was then that Florence Brooks was j
vlsitiug an older sister at Fort R., the ,
wife of an officer In the United States
army. And then it was that, the gar
rison having marched away, leaving
the women and children to the protec
tion of half a company under the com
mand of a lieutenant, another tribe |
consisting of several hundred warriors
came down to take possession of the
fort.
When a friendly redskin rode into
the Inelosure and announced the com
ing of his fellows, every man being
i needed for defense, Florence Brooks
volunteered to ride to the nearest post,
fifty miles distant, for succor Lleu
! tenant Howard Whiting, lu command, !
placed her on his own Kentucky bred j
horse, Comanche, and sent her flying
| cut of the fort, shouting after her.
I "Their lives depend upsn you!" Ilow [
the horse enabled her to cross the
path of the coming Indian* an hour
before they reached the point of Inter
section. how ten miles farther on she
met a squadron of cavalry, how when
the Indians reached the fort they
found a force ample to protect it. need ij
only he referred to here. From tbit |
day Cohiatlcbe was beloved by th(- ||
whole garrison, and especially by Mis* jj
Brooks. "As for Mis* Brooks, she vm I
beloved by the wh.?le carr'.sor. especial ]
ly Lieutenant Whiting.
And now the view of alkali pia:ns |
surrounding Fort R. has changed to I
vacant lots on the outskirts of a city. I
Miss Brooks r.:'es ,n a tr-'Kry car in ;
stead of on horseback, and Lieutenant
Whiting spends the greater part of the 1
day in a recniillt:g office in one of the
dingiest streets .if the city. B'i: ?? .;'y
In the afternoon lie leaves his s. : geant ?
In charge and. mounted ou Comanche
rides past Miss Brooks' nboiTe. She s
watching for him from an upper win
dow. lie raises his hat. aiid from be i
liliul the curtain she throws him r. kiss.
But for one thing the lover would bo i
supremely happy. He is jealous of '
Comanche.
"Why," he asked on Joining his
fiancee after one of his rides, "do you
always feast your eyes on my horse
and pay no attention to meV T'.ds aft
ernoon when 1 rode by you didn't even
see when I raised ray hat You waved
J-our hand long after I had done so."
"I love Comanche," she replied.
Miss Brooks left the city for a month,
and when she returned her lover In- :
formed her that he had sold Comanche.
The reason he gave for doing so was
that he had been entered to rejoin bis
regiment In the west, and, Comanche
having become old. besides gone lame,
the lieutenant would not feel ? irr-ait
ed In transporting him so far especial
ly as he would need a serviceable anl- .
Inn I Miss Brooks looked astonished
when the news was imparted to her i
and argued long and well against the
necessity for the sale. But Whiting
had nothing but his pay. which was
not sufficient to keep so expensive a '
pet. and she was obliged to admit. !
which she did reluctantly, tlia' he
could hardly have done oiherwise. ,
They parted with an embrace, warm (
enough on the part of the man, but not !
the girl
However. It gradually came over ?
Mls? Brooks planning ,ss sic was for
tho coming wedding? that Comanche
could not have boon Inoltwcd In the
