humOr, and willing 10 tell all she knew In

As heretofore announced i'm the BAZoo,
Miss Still, during the week just past, has
had contests with Misses Cooke,
of California, and Williams, OF Kansas

SHE DEFEATED BOTH.
These victories, however do not cause her
10 boast, bnt she is still confident she can
ride, and l. not backward in saving that In
her third contest with Miss Archer she will
win-;nd in good style, too.
After few minutes conversation
Cricket said:

have not noticed"
What is that, please"
Just like a man; never notice any
thing until it's pointed out 10 you. Can't
YOU see this" and rs she said the words
she held up TO view
A HANDSOME GOLD MEDAL,
a little larger than silver half dollar. on
which was engraved, in the best possible
style, TO Cricket, from her friends,
