Hot stove baseball is a great sport and nobody gets hoarse cheering it It will be funny If the huge cotton crop does not make silk skirts cheaper. A contemporary says there are 4,000 poets in this country. Who supports 'em! . . An unkissed girl has delivered a . lecture on the decline of chivalry. Gee, she must be homely. There is no Question but what ft was a tough who assaulted the Chicago girl who lost twp teeth in biting him. Love of animals, says a New Y6rk specialist, is a dieease. That Newport society circle must be an awfully unhealthy set A Bostonian has donated SIOO,OOO to combat college athletics. Probably it will be used to start chess, checkers and pingpong tournaments. A Kansas City women’s jury returned a verdict In three hours in a case In which a male jury previously had disagreed. They must have been talked out. An Idaho feminine jury adjourned court at noon to go home and get dinner. And still there are those who say jury duties Would interfere with woman’s work. 1 ■ Two Chicago detectives were obliged to give up after chasing two merry iron workers up and down the skeleton of a skyscraper. They were up in the air, all right A Pomeraniam dog got stuck In a rainspout in Philadelphia, and a patrolman used a can opener to rescue it That policeman knew how to get the lid off, all right A Chicago doctor says appendicitis is to be treated without a surgical operation.

Wouldn’t It be a fine thing to stand some of the New York police officials back of it, and see if they’d get into action! It is held by a Gotham judge that a man need not support bls wife who moves into the second flat of their building and remains there. Must have based his decision on the theory that she was too uppish. One feature of such bets as that which compels a man to push a peanut along the slftewalk for four city blocks, with a sausage, Is the probability that the winners will also get jobs helping to run the country. It is reported that a Milwaukee man has Invented a system where he can make milk from timothy hay without the aid of the cow. An improvement over some milk dealers, who have attempted to make it out of water. A Parisian chemist has discovered a dye for dresses that changes color hourly. A time saving device for society matrons who heretofore have remade their toilette each hour. Somebody shifted lead into the place of $50,000 worth of British sovereigns in transit and England is as much amazed as the boy seeing the rabbit come out of the silk hat. Suffragettes In New York, forbidden to speak at a big exhibition, have Invented the “voiceless speech." This Idea ought to take them enthusiastically in the average domestic arena.
