In the July American Magazine Alb* rt Hickman, writing shout the de velopement of a new type of fast motor boat, makes the following comment on the true sportsman: Every true sportsman has the best dug, the best gun. and the best boat—which is a,, blessing for the inventors of dogs, guns, and boats. There was recently launched, at Port Arthur. Ont., the freight steamer “W, Grant Morden,” with a capacity of GOO cars of grain in its hold. This latest type of vessel, the largest ever built for lake traffic, a page view pf which appears in the July Popular Mechanics Magazine, is designed for carrying bulk freight; and Is 625 ft. in length. 59 ft. beam, and 39 ft. deep. It will have room for 535,000 bu. of oats, equivalent to 20 trains of 30 cars each. ’ A farmer who is the father of 12 children had rocked each other in. the same cradle with the same great toe. He was rocking the newest arrival one evening when his wife remarked: “William, that cradle is nearly worn out I'm afraid it will fall to pieces." “It's about used up,” replied her husband; then handing her a ten dollar bill, he remarked: “The next time you go to town, get a new one, one that will last.” —Ex. While in a violent paroxysm of •aughing today Alta Taylor, the 8-year old daughter of Isaac Taylor of East Columbus, Indiana, caughed up cork which she had accidentally swallowed two months ago. The case puzzled several physicians who were called to treat the child, but who did not know oi the swallowing of the cork, which had lodged in the windnipe. The physicians say that death would have been certain had not the cork been dislodged. Flip is dead. Hundreds of patrons of a west end St. ouis case remember how Flip sat on his hind legs and they would put a penny on his nose, hen count, “One, two, three,” and at ‘three’’ Flip would toss the penny high into the air and catch it. in his mouth as it fell. Then while every one laughted and applauded Flip would trot briskly back to the lunch counter man and give him the penny. Flip left sllß, all earned penny by penny in the seven years he performed. The lunch man kept a little iron bank and when the bank was filled with pennies it would be taken to the Savings Trust Company. It was an automobile that caused Flip’s death. He had a regular funeral, but there was no ceremony. Attorney Frank Cottrell of Berne was a business visitor here yesterday. in the July American Magazine appears another “Boston Blackie” story written by Number 6606, at the present time a convict in a western penitentiary. in the course of the story ap pears a character named Janies Tener known as "Jimmy the Joke." The following explains how he became known as “Jimmy the Joke:.” "Long years before, he had done a ‘jolt’ in a Western penitentialy. The judge sentenced him to ten years. “ ‘ls that meant as a joke, Your Honor’’ queried the prisoner blandly. ‘A joke!’ ejaculated the old judge. ’Yes, Your Honor,’ replied the prospective convict. 'Didn’t I just understand you to say a “tener" for Tener?' ” Mrs. Cyrus Niver, the woman member of tlie Pensylvania moving picture censorship hoard is firmly of the opinion that the prolonged kiss in the motion picture should be materially shortened. She Is said to have sat through yards and yards of kisses of every variety and she believes the kiss film should be reduced, at least to four yards. If our memory serves us right Byron has declared that the value of a kiss is found in its length. But it should be remembered that moving picture shows were not in existence when Byron recorded this judgment or the osculatory process, and that perhaps the experiences upon which he based his opinion would have given way to an entirely different conclusion if instead of being an actor he had merely sat before the screen and watched the process as it had been Indulged in by others.

Seaver’s Hippodrome and Colonel Cummins' Far East, when their city of tenta is spread in Decatur, Tuesday July 7. The triple show requires two special trains for its transportation, and is declared by the press of other cities to be one of the most satisfying aggregations on the road.

Wild western scenes will be depicted in truely wild western fashion, a reminder of the stirring events of early days when danger lurked near every footstep, when the pioneer and the Indian battled for supremacy on the plains.
