Some ingenious boy has invented a
toy which will be great source OF
annoyance to the average householder
upon Hailow Fen. 1t consists OF
empty spool witt: the ends scrrated
and u string wrapped around 1t like
around the windlasl OF we'll. The
mode of operation Ia this: Placing
n nail through tho hoio IN tho spool,
this nail Is held by one hand. then the
wound spool Is placed against a
window glass. The string ls then
pulled, which makes the spool travsl
rapily along tho glass, making u most
hideous noise. George Prettyman, OF
628 Orange street, from all accounts
seems to DO the ingenious boy who
first invented 1t. Get it patented.
