At Wichita, on Tuesday, boy was
born to Mr.. and Mrs. AlezandeH
Thompson, being the seventh son of a
seventh son, and the Eagle says:
"There are other peculiart es at
tending the birth OF the Tho npson
baby along the line of soVens. 1t was
born in the seventh hour OF the sew

before the birthday Of its loving father,
who sits and daddles it on his knee in
the firm belief that he and his vile

of the fond parents believes strongly
in the tenet which says that the seventh

OUTDOOR SPORT.

"What with yachts and SOULS on the
water and driving and riding, bicycling, golf
ing, polo, croquet and tennis on the land, the
whole world seems given almost exclusively
to sports. And a good thing it is that our
people-are gradually learning to get little
pleasure out Of life instead of making dull
boys of themselves by mlngling no play with
their work. Surely. with so much of health

muscles and bones and internal organs, and
with so much outdoor living there must
come great improvement in the physical
