do not let themselves be kept too close.

FIRST HONOR PUPILS.
The Constitution, Jr., Is Able to Pre
sent Those of Ivy Street School.
Among the many bright youngsters at
Ivy street school eight stand out from the
others as honor pupils. The Constitution,
Jr., is happy to be able to present a group
picture of these deserving pupils who have
earned this distinction.
Miss Margaret Whiteside.
Miss Margaret Whiteside, who takes the
first honor in the fifth grade, although
but nine years old, has developed decided
literary talent. She writes interesting little
stories and even verses which are highly
creditable. She reads a great deal and
does not confine herself to simple stories
for children, but history and poetry claim
a large share of her attention. It is safe to
predict that she will some day make a
name for herself in the world of letters.

Choristers in Camp.
It was announced in last Saturday’s Con
stitution, Jr., that the boys of St. Luke’s
cathedral choir were going camping. In
order to give more definite information to
those desirous of knowing, the boys are
to walk out and camp a night on the way.
They will be provided with tents and pro
visions. There is to be a lady s day, on
which the mothers, sisters and lady friends
of the members of the choir will be invited
to come out. It is to be something like a
picnic. The names of the members of the
choir are as follows: Edgar Clower, Lowry
Verner, Searls Rose, Frank Abel, Allen Wil
liams, Walker Dozier, Camille L’Engle, Jr.,
Bartow Mercer, Philip Clarke, Tom Hall,
Edwin Abel, Bockover Toy, Earle Moore,
Harold Moore and W. T. Waters, Jr. The
men are: Messrs. Black, Giles, Nixon, Vv at
son, Kingston, Case, Shellenberger, Boes
and Haralson, and Professor Clarke, cor
netist, and Mr. Krebs, organist and choir
master. The two soloists, Clower and Ver
ner, are well known to the people who at
tend our ahurclu Clower sang a beautiful
solo on Easter, and Verner sang “Not a
Sparrow Failleth,” only a few Sundays ago.
Both have succeeded very well so far.
Philip Clarke, the choir humorist, would be
Thursday, May 24th, there was a very in
teresting game of baseball on the corner of
Orme and Baker streets, between the Union
Sluggers and the Fifth Ward Cannon Balls.
The score was 20 to 19 in favor of the Fifth
Ward Cannon Balls. In the last inning the
two teams -were tied, 19 to 19. In the tenth
inning the Cannon Balls scored one, which
gave the game to their team. It was a
tight push to score the one, but the heavy
batting of little Dave Griffin gave the Can
non Balls the game. The Cannon Bahs did
fine playing, comparing their little men
with the large men of the Union Sluggers.
The features of the game were the catch-
a great loss to the boys, because he keeps
them laughing all the time by his funny
sayings and doings. His home is in Point
Pleasant, N. J. The new boys who have
entered tihe choir since Mr. Krebs has been
c'hoirmas'ter have improved wonderfully
under his care. Mr. Krebs has invented
a new way of fishing for the boys to have
fun with wihen they get tb the lake. It is
a jumping jack, although made by himself,
is as good as a bought one. It is attached
to a stick that is placed upright in a round
piece of wood about the size of the brim
of a straw hat. A hole is made through
this piece of wood for the string that oper
ates the jumping jack to pass into the
water. To the end of this string is at
tached a hook and bait. When the fish
nibbles, the jumping jack gives a little
jump. When the fish jerks he jumps
around like mad. Last year’s picnic of the
choir bovs was at Decatur, and the one
before that at Dr. Barrett’s farm. They
had a great deal of fun at both places, but
not a.s much as they anticipate ’on their
camping out. A story will be "written to

by the Whitehall Street Hornets, but they
are determined to win back their victory
from the Hornets, as it was the first lime
they have been defeated this season.
Monday evening. May 21st, the Hornets
defeated the West End Stars in a twelve in

the batting of the Hornets. 'They scored
seventeen hits, two of them two-baggers,
and one a three-bagger.
Thursday, May 24th, the Hornets did up the
Georgia Avenue Blues by the score of 6
to 4. Erskine, the pitcher for the Hornets,
struck out eleven men.
Last Saturday morning the Hornets came
out victorious over the Cannon Balls to the
tune of 15 to 2. The feature of this game
was the twirling of Erskine, pitcher for the
Hornets. He struck out fifteen men. This

A Plain Fact.
The teacher in geography was putting the
class through a few simple tests.
“On which side of the earth is the North
pole?” she inquired.
“On the north side,” came the unanimous
answer.
“On which side is the South pole?”
“On the south side.”
“Now, on Which side are the most peo
ple?”
This was a poser, and nobody answered.
Finally, a very young scholar held up his
hand.
“I know,” he said, hesitatingly, as if the
excess of his knowledge were too much for
him.
“Good for you!” said the teacher, encour
agingly. “Tell the class on which side the
most people are.”
“On the outside!” piped the youngster.
And whatever answer the teacher had
her mind was lost in the shuffle
OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Mattie and Loula Hartsell, Locust Level, N. C.—
Locust Level is a small village, but we are glad to
say we have the opportunity of attending a good
school.
We have had a great revival in the temperance
work at this place. Many have signed the pledge
and some who were fast becoming drunkards,
pledged themselves never to taste anything that
would intoxicate.
I think the temperance work is a grand one, and
we young people should do all we can for it, and
we can do a great deal. The boys can pledge them
selves that they will never drink, chew or smoke.
How many boys think it looks nice to go around
with a cigar smoking. But boys, you are mistaken
if you think that; and if you want the girls to
love you. you had better stop it.
We will close by asking for correspondents.
J. M. Pharr, Rockwall, Texas.—l live two miles
north of the town of Rockwall on a farm; we
have a beautiful place to live. We live in the
black land belt, and it is very muddy when it
rains, but we have Burmuda grass in the yard,
and rock walks, so you see we do not have to get
in the mud. We also have lots of beautiful flow
ers in the yard.
I attended a business college all winter, and I
like it splendid. I think there is nothing better
than a good education ; it fits and qualifies us to
fill any vocation in life.
I notice that Mr. John Hendricks says he likes
novel reading. A good novel, read in the right
manner, is ail right; but these cheap, trashy nov
els ought to be shunned by all sensible people.
If the young people would use the time study
ing that they spend reading novels, they would
be a great deal (that is a goodly number of them)
better educated.
D. F. Pattisliall, Geneva, Fla.—We came here
from Grovania, Ga., about five years ago. 1 will
tell you something about this place. It is eight
miles from a railroad, but the St. Johns runs with
in about two and a half miles from here, and a
steamboat comes up here twice a week in the
winter.
There is a small lake in the center of Geneva,
and a large lake two miles from here, being eight
miles long and five wide.
There are two churches, Methodist and Baptist,
a store, sawmill, schoolhouse and postofiice.
Our school closed in March, but will open again
in October. We had a very good teacher last term,
and expect to get him again this term.
Last winter they organized a social and debat
ing club for the young people mostly, but in a
a month or two they appointed a new presic.ent,
and in five minutes after she was appointed she
turned all out under sixteen years old, so it broke
up.
The people raise oranges, lemons, grape fruit,
Irisii potatoes and onions, but they depend on
oramres mostly.
Sonic of the girls think they are getting ahead
of the boys writing letters, but they are badly
mistaken.
Olga McDuffie, Mcßae, Ga.—l have been a silent
but constant reader of The Constitution, and
think it one of the best of papers.
I live in the little town town Mcßae, on the
East Tennessee, V irginia and Georgia railroad ; it
has 1,200 inhabitants, and also a beautiful college,
f have attended it two year-, and like to go very
well. The commencement will be the 17th of
June. I wish you all could be here.
I liaved on a farm a:l my life until about three
years ago, when we came to town. I had a nicer
time in the country than in town.
I will close by "asking the cousins someques
tions:
When was the stamp act passed?
Where, and when, did the Pilgrims land?
On v, hat island did Columbus first land?
I would like to correspond with some of the
cousins of my age, fourteen.
Robert Sidney Reggie, Stoneville, N. C.—l am a

will be eight years old in May. I have rheuma

This is what Tire Popular Science Month
ly says about fish “falling up’’ in the water.
None of us need, after this, laugh about
the child who “falls up-stairs’’ and gets
hurt: “The fish that, live at enormous depths
are, in consequence of the enormous pres
sure, liable to a curious form of accident.
If in chasing their prey or for any other
reason they rise to a considerable distance
above the floor of the ocean, the gases of
their swimming bladder become considera
bly expanded and their specific gravity
greatly reduced; up to a certain limit the
muscles of their bodies can counteract the
tendency to float upward and enable the
fish to regain its proper sphere of life at
the bottom, but beyond that limit the mus
cles are not strong enough to drive the body
downward, and the fish, becoming more and
more distended as it goes, is gradually
killed on its long and involuntary journey
to the surface of the sea.
“The deep sea fish thn ar exposed to a
danger that no other animals in the world
are subject to, namely, that of tumbling
upward. That such accidents do occasion
ally occur is evidenced by the fact that
some fish, which are known to be true
deep sea forms, were discovered dead and
floating on the surface of the ocean long
before our modern investigations were com
menced.”
Two hunters in the California Sierras
were returning home after a day’s hunt
when their dog scared up a panther that
took refuge in a tree. Each hunter had
four shots left and the first hunter suc
ceeded in breaking the panther’s hind leg,
but failed to dislodge it. The other man
then fired his complement with the result of
only inflicting a flesh wound. With ammu
nition exhausted and the panther still lash
ing its tail in defiance, the hunters held a
consultation and finally hit upon a plan.
Making a running noose in a lari.it, one of
the men climbed an adjoining tree, and,
with a long, pole, tried to slip the rope over
the beast’s head. But the panther was too
wary, knocking aside the pole every
time with his paws. Suddenly the man saw
another chance and quickly slipped the
noose over the broken leg and drew it
tight. Then he climbed down the tree and
both men began to pull, and presently down
the panteher came. There was a mass of
panther, dog, men, clubs, and when it dis
solved the men and the dog were pretty
badly scratched, but the panther was dead.
While two rnen were spearing salmon on
the Columbia river, in Oregon, they noticed
a large gray eagle hovering over the water,
but they paid no particular attention to the
bird until it suddenly swooped down and
pounced on a big fish. The fish must have
weighed sixteen pounds, and it soon became
evident that the eagle could not lift it clear
of the waiter. After several ineffectual ef
forts the bird next tried to release its hold,
but it was caught fast as if in a trap. Final
ly it was itself dragged into the water, and
the swift current swept the odd
down stream until they lodged in a fish-net,
where both were caught. The fish waa
k; Ued: Uxe eagle was already dead.
