HAVE you noticed the flag floating over the
old postoffice? If Uncle Sam cannot afford a
better. it would not be out of place for the Jr.
o. A. U. M. to make donation.
Now. gentlemen. please brush up the ap-
proaches to the Exposition.
So THE old Block-house is to be turned into
penny catcher. This is sad. Why doesn't the
city lease it and give free show? If but one

should be cherished.

it. Good lungs guarantee longevity.

consomme just the same.
THERE'S merry war in Allegheny over the
merry.go-round. Cannot something be done in
either city to provide proper supervision for in

permanent places of amusement. In a month

more comes. This will swell the list TO nine

This should meet the demand at present. 1t is
limited that some managers are casting their
eyes East Endward, however. Would q cozy
little theater pay there?
1T Is Labor Day the year round in PittSburg
Soon the shrek of the campaign orator and
the glare of the torch bearer will disturb the
sweet September calm which envelops u.s. Life
has its miseries and its Joys.
IF you want to boom bad book preach about

THESE are delightful days for lawn tennis
and all other healthful sports in which young
men and women can participate. Keep it up,
boys and girls. The coming fathers and
mothers should be strong. Humanity cannot
afford to degenerate. Only the healthy body
can carry the active brains of the present pro-
gressive age.
EVERY dog mas his day. September has un-
muzzled him.
A TOUCHING tribute to the dead was quietly
paid by tine typographical paraders in the Alle-

boutonnaries on the Armstrong monument,
the whole forming a pretty floral offering.
Some who have gone before are not forgotten.
SOME of the girls who have returned from
the seaside are wearing engagement rings.

they are not so plentiful in the streets as they
used to be. Is business crowding out the birdsf
THE new fall dress goods can be utilized for
checker boards.
WHO can say variety is not the spice of life2
Only one city theater is indulging in the
legitimate ALI the rest are catering to that
