It's called "Me and Somebody Else's Shadow." The idea is to pick out a good Shadow and drive right behind it. Xf that shadow stops, you stop, too. If you don't, pick up the pieces. if any, go to city hall, and file an accident report The whole game is caused by the setting sun which just now has the range of Eleventh avenue about perfect. That sun-glare, dazzling enough in its own right, is made a heap more so by glancing off those steel street car rails and those wood blocks which have been polished by the tires of thousands of automobiles.

Just try to look through a windshield into that glare and distinguish anything but shadows. advise thin people, who don't cast hefty shadows, to keep off the street between 4 and 5 p. m. A thin shadow might never be noticed until too late. Our police reporter heard a radio program which featured old-time songs this afternoon.

And flow he's whistling "Sweet Rosie 6'Grady" and "Rose of Washing-fin Square" and "Bicycle Built for wo" all over the office. -If radio affects him like that, all the boys hope he doesn't hear any Indian programs. He might start War-whooping all over the premises. I always though I was something of a war-whooper myself. I kinda lost the idea though after mother heard me whooping in the yard one day.

I was attacking a wagon train in the middle of the desert, but she took me in the house and dosed me with castor oil and mustard plasters. She thought I was coming down with whooping cough. The King of Hoboes was in AI-toona last night. And he had a room at the Penn Alt hotel. Even hoboing isn't what it used to be.

BAIN Frank M. Rice, late private in the 205th Pennsylvania volunteer infantry and who stood within earshot of the surrender at Ap pomattox, died at 12:30 yesterday morning in his home at 1007 Third street, Juniata, where he resided for years in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Annie Shively and her son Frank P. Shively and family. Mr.

Rice was born at Port Royal on September 25, 1847. As a fatherless and motherless boy at the age of 15 he was indentured as a bound boy to learn the trade of body building and wheelwright for vehicles in Lewistown. On August 2, 1863, he broke away from his indenture to enlist for military ser vice in a company of 100 men and a drummer boy who were re cruited entirely in Lewistown. As Company of the 205th Pennsylvania infantry it was through the hard marching and fighting in the Shenandoah Valley and in constant service In winter of skirmish and battle In front of Petersburg. Private Rice had his haversack shot from him at Fort Damnation and his head was twice grazed by rebel bullets.

But of the 12 original members of the company who lived to return to iewistown he was one of the six who returned without a wound. On the way south to help end the war Private Rice marched with his regiment in review before President and Mrs. Lincoln in front of the White House. Only last summer the veteran recalled to The Tribune his actual vision and hearing of the final surrender of the rebel army at Ap pomattox. He saw an officer in gray step out from the confederate line and wave a white flag.

"General Robert E. Lee would like to speak to General U. S. Grant." The request was granted and General Grant rode upon the scene accompanied by his staff, facing General Lee with a similar retinue. "Upon what terms can I sur render?" was the inquiry of the southern commander.

"Unconditional surrender," was the reply of Grant. General Lee shook his head and rode back into his line with his officers trailing after. Firing was either about to be resumed or was for an interval resumed when the white flag again ap peared and the victor and van quished faced each other. Unconditional surrender, again said General Grant and in the next moment he generously de clined to take the sword of the de feated foe. The long line of con federate infantry advanced to within 10 or 12 feet of the Union soldiers who stood with fixed bay onets while the rebels threw down their arms on that great Sunday in April of 1865.

Private Rice loved to recall of the generous treatment of the southerners and of the long 300 1 miles march of the remnant of his regiment back to participate in the I last grand review in Washington.
