School Mo. WHEN KIDS GO COASTING "SKEET" JENKINS PROVES THE VIRTUE OF A HOMEMADE SLED. Dressed Up Lissie Smythe Jam'e It With His Brightly Painted Coaster and the Girl Turns Him Down. The ways of kids have never changedthe same kind of a youngster whose face was polka dotted with freckles and who could black the eye of any urchin on avenues of ancient Rome, walked the highways of chip Kansas on his City shoulder. with The a hair-trigger worst fashion can do is compel the exchange of the flowing toga for "knickere.

The same unwritten code that held good when the German boy of 1000 B. perhaps, sneaked papa's war shield out of the smoke house and coasted down the Alps on it is in force to-day, when Skeet Jenkins snoops out the back way and hies him with his sled to where the fellows are coasting. 111 spite of the humming of street cars and the city asphalt beneath the snow, Skeet is greeted by just such a bunch i as you knew out in the country forty years ago. "Hello, Skeet! Where'd you get it?" POOR LITTLE LIZZIE SMYTHE, This remark is addressed to the comer's sled by Lizzie Smythe, the boy who gets everything he wants. Lizzie's doting mamma has dressed him in kid gloves, overshoes and loud maroon leggings--he can play for just one hour three-quarters, at the end of which time he must come straight home and practice on the piano for two hours.

He is leadINK A sled that cost at least $4.68. It has Shiny brass swans' heads curved gracefully at the end of the runners. It is painted a passionate crimson and on the hurricane deck there is a pretty picture of a rural snowscape. So Lizzie wipes a bit of mud the brass trimmings and looks askance at Skeet's seemingly unseaworthy cruiser. "Made it this mornin', replied Skeet, who prepares to tackle the slant in the ashion popularly called "belly buster." took an old soap box, rustled strip of iron for the runners, pulled some nail- out of the hen house and made it with my knife--cut my finger only once," at shich point Skeet gets a good start, flops on his low built vehicle and flashes down the incline with his dragging toes acting as rudders.

IT CAN GO SOME, TOO. The homemade coaster proves itself al perfect that is. Where hits a rise caused by a street crossing it takes to the air like Mr. Wilbur Wright's flying machine. When it swoops, Skeet's stomach is tickled by that delicious, exciting catch that you in a swinging.

The voyage is uneventfulexcept that Skeet going at the rate of inty miles in almost nothing, swerves st in time to miss a wagon, lashes in front of an "elephantine truck horse, and barely misses his head through a telegraph post while turning out to pass a big "bob." When he gets back to the starting point, Lizzie is having trouble with "Snow Queen -which the pretty sled christoned in nice wiggley letters. One can't flat on one's stomach, you know, and preserve the fashion plate appearance clothing. While sitting upright off attempt to steer with his patent leath111 front, Lizzie got snow thrown into eyes, and while his sight was thus impeded ran the Queen into snow bank. And there's that pretty Watson girl laughmg at him, too. "Honk, honk?" AND THE WATSON GIRL WITH HIM.

That Watson girl jumps and looks behind her. Skeet is just ready to start and about to run over her -though he wouldn't scratch one of her shoes for the entire solar system. "Want to go down?" grins Skeet. "Ye-e-s, but I'm afraid-" "Aw, come on! careful." And they away on the homemade sled. sweep And Lizzie suddenly notices that it's cold to day, and that he has already scratched that new sled.

Losing all interest in coasting, he turns toward his music practice the Snow Queen trailing dejectedly in his wake. SLED RIDE COST HIM A FINGER. 4 12-Year-Old Boy Injured While Coasting on Agnes Avenue.

"We are anxious to take care of the art museum," he said, "and all other demands for money, but we don't want to exceed the city's debtmaking power at this time when there is a possibility that the city might have to take over the gas plant at any time. If the city limits extension was settled the bond issue could be made without delay.

With the territory added to the that it is proposed to take in, the city's debtmaking power would be raised about 4 million dollars, making possible a large bond issue." SHE FELL ON AN ICY WALK. In Kansas City, Dr. May Rochelle Suffered a Sprained Ankle. Dr. May Rochelle, wife of Dr.
