A Grown-Up Man Trlea to Aaurlbn a
Reason for Thla Fancy
of Boys.
"It may not be a matter of grave
moment," said a grown-up man. "but
I would rather like to know why small
boys like to walk in mud puddles.
“1 don't refer now to the hoy In
rubber bools; hie motives in wading
in puddles and In deeper water 1 can
understand. He 1b proud of Ills water-
proof boots and he liken to surfeit
himself with the delightful conscious-
ness and proof that they are water-
proof; he likes to brave and pass un-
scathed the perils of the dpep water-
ways of the gutters after a heavy
rain; though with his first boots any-
way he Is likely to overdo this a lit-
tle, to keep on trying to see how deep
be can go till at last he steps Into a
place a little deeper than the rest and
gets his boots Ailed.
“Still, I can understand the boy and
his rubber boots, but I don't quite see
through his fancy for walking or step-
ping In puddles generally when he has
leather shoes on. Maybe hero too It
is because he likes to take risks, or
perhaps It Is because of his innate de-
fiance of rule and convention.
"A bunch, of small boys will one
nfter another try Jumping over a pud-
dle to see If they can dear It. and
then sooner or later one Is sure to
come down within the edge of the
water. But that doesn't disturb him;
on the contrary he rather enjoys that
experience, and then you may see the
bunch wind up by all running or walk-
ing through the water. Why do they
do this, getting their shoes wet and
muddy and getting them wet causing
them to wear out the sooner, to say
nothing of causing their mothers care
and worry not only over shoes but
Btocklngs? But all boys like to slush
through mud puddles, and for that
matter so do some older people, too.
“I like myself when I have on rub-
bers to walk right ahead regardless
of the pools of water on the sidewalk
In fact I am likely to Btep In them de-
liberately If they are not too deep, so
that I may get the water over my rub
bers to wet my feet. I like to slash
ahead unhampered and really in doing
this simple little free action I find
enjoyment. And I guess It Is a sense
of this sort that makes the boy find
a pleasure In scampering or stamping
or walking through mud puddles; he
likes to take the risk and see how
much water he can get Into without
getting his feet wet, but the thing h«
ltkes best about It Is Its defiant unfet-
tered freedom,"
Napoleon’s Great Career Built Upon
Heroic Episode Which Illustrates
Extraordinary Military Value
of 8plrlt-Stlrrlng Drum.
There stands In the French town of
Cadenet, his native place, a monument
to the memory of “The Little Drum-
mer of Areola,” Andre EstiJnne, the
hero of one of the most romantic epi-
sodes In French history. It was an
episode that Illustrated the extraordi-
nary military value, so often attested
by the world's greatest generals, of
what Othello called the “Bplrlt-stlrring
drum.” It may be said, curiously
enough, that Napoleon Bonaparte’s
great career was built upon a drum,
for the battle of Areola was won by
the beating of Estlenne's drum, and
the Corsican himself always dated his
confidence In his own fortune from
this battle, won In 179<1. The elreum
stances were these;
Bonaparte, hemmed In with a small
army at Verona, between two greatly
superior forces, sallied out at night,
made a forced march, and with 14,000
men fell upon the rear of 60.000 Aus
trlans. The battle lasted seventy-two
hours On the second day of the fight-
ing the Austrians obtained such a po-
sition that they completely and mur-
derously swept the bridge of Areola,
which the French had gained, and
which they must hold If they expected
to win the battle.
It was an unlooked-for movement.
No officer was near, but Andre Es
tlenne, the little drummer, was there
He went to Ills sergeant and told him
that he should cross the bridge with
hts drum, and beat it on the other
side.
"But,” protested the sergeant, “be
fore you place one foot upon the
bridge you will be killed. No man on
earth could live on that bridge. How
ever, can you swim?"
“1 can,” said the drummer.
“Then swim across with your drum.”
“Impossible!" returned Estlenne
“Should the drum become water-soak
ed. I could not beat it on the other
side."
But the sergeant was equal to this
difficulty. Being himself a fine swim-
mer. he plunged Into the water, bade
Andre mount upon his shoulders and
hold his drum clear of the water. In
this wny the two crossed the river,
Andre beating his drum lustily all the
way Once on the other side, he
pounded It In a way to well-nigh vake
the dead. The Austrians who were
massed near were nearly all raw re-
cruits Hearing what they took to be
the drums of an advancing force of
French, and remembering the terrible
French onslaught, of the day before,
they fled. This left the bridge clear,
and the French began to pour across
Andre was Joined by other drummers
The Austrian flight became a rout.
The French swept on, with Andre Es
tlenne, still drumming at their head.
Soon the whole Austrian force was re
treating, utterly beaten.
Years late Estlenne's heroic act was
celebrated by be:ng represented In
stone on the frort of the Pantheon at
Purls. The funeral of the little drum-
mer of Areola was attended by a great
con course of French officers and sol-
diers.
Can’t Be Beat.
"Oh. yes, we have a wonderful cli-
mate," Bald the man front southern
Texas. "Why, only last season we
raised a pumpkin so large that, after
sawing It In two, my wife used the
halves as cradles In which to rock the
babies."
"Yes," replied the man from New
York, "but In my state It's a common
thing to find three full grown police-
men asleep on one beat."—I.lppln-
