OF the spread carried BY Archibald, the Canadian
Champion. The HObOken Canoe Club has gone
even further, and has cut its area down To a
cruising rig of 10 square feet. The lied Dragon
Canoe Club OF Philadelphia is considering a
similar rule, and has for several years restricted
most Of its sailing races TO cruising canoes. At
the recent meet Of the Associated Canoe Clubs
limited sailing races in the three Tegattas, all
the others being limited TO ~nOYices, Juniors. or
canoes with small sails.

that was astonishing and was tickled
beyond measure at the nierriment his
efforts provoked. He can wink too,
and the said little wink Is like the wink
Of a drowsy robbin-red-breast. Cute
is not expressive enough to describe it.
He can crawl and stand but he has not
yet learned to walk.
All the show men and museums in
the country want to get him and it is
even said that Jim Corbett the cham
pion would like to have him for part
ner and running mate. One Of the
famous midgets of the country who
married some time ago made PROPOSE

child but Mr.. Pealer senior says he Is
opposed to deception and wouldn't let
him out under such circumstances. The
little fellow can say papa and mamma

Quaintance with Noah Webster. He has
no teeth as yet, but from the satisfac-

The little midget has a brother Of
some four summers who is a strapping
lad of more than average size for that
age. They are great friends and they
play together without either seeming
to notice the distinction of size.
The father and mother of the baby
are Of more than medium size and their
parents are large people, the grand
father on one side being over six feet

WHAT DUtS III MEAN
Fact or Fiction Abour Two Great Fair
Awards.


A newspaper paragraph denounces
as false" the claim of a baking powder
company to an award at the worlds
fair. Whom can it mean?
Certainly not DR.. Prices. Why? Be
cause, as the records chow, DR.. Prices
exhibited, competed and received the
highest award, both at Chicago and the
California midwinter fair. The award
in California included gold medal. The
official examiners pronounced it the
strongest, the purest, the most whole
some and efficient of all the baking
powders. Its title to confidence is un-
questioned.
Can it be the manufacturers Of a New
York powder, f1etitiously labeled ''ab-
solutely pure who are making false"
claims? That would be strange. in
Iced, inasmuch ashley were not even
considered in the awards.
Was it ammonia in the New York
powder that prevented it's makers from
competing? If not, what?
