An old corset from an ash barrel
came sailing his way like vulture of
the night aud he felt the fan of its
wings as he ducked his head. Then
there were missiles which he believed
to be onions and tomatoes and green
corn cobs and ancient lemons, and all
he could do was to jump up and down
and demand that his hidden foes stand
forth and be slaughtered. He thought
he caught sight OF some one on the al

ly to himself for minute the patient
tried to make himself believe that he
already felt better. He shut his eyes
tightly, determined to sleep, and the
prcmonitory tingle of II second sneeze
was being family felt when there were
yelp and hiss. and the cat went up
the fence Gpd over 1t like n flash, and
dog was left whining and growing
within ten feet of the hammock The
canine had crept under the alley fence,
and the Bowser cat hadn't waited to
ask any questions.
"By thunder, but can't a man find
dve minutes pence in his own back
yardT shouted Mr.. Bowser as he rolled
out and looked for clothes prop as
a weapon of otfense
He ran that dog three times across
the yard before the animal could find
the hole he came in at and get out
again. and when he returned to the
hammock the romance of the night
was gone. If he hadn't caught sight
or Mrs Bowser peerlng from one OF
the back windows, he might have de-
cded to call things off until the nexI
night. That settled matters, however
He dropped into the hammock and
huddled himself up, and the cat came
back and sat on the fence and looked
down upon him with guardian eyes
Ten minutes stole silently away and
the crlckets had begun to sing low and
drowsily when something fell from
the sky with great clash and clattei
and missed Mr. Bowser and bis ham
mock by only few inches.

my say about their chances, writes
Macon. Peter Mayer and Joe Choyn-
ski are also TO meet in August before
the Broadway a. e.. When they
fought before, Choynski had all tho
best of 1t until the last round when in
n fit of overconfidcnce he took a chance
with Mahcr and that chance landed
him limp and insensble for the time
being on the floor. Since then / think
Choynski has gone back a good deal,
and whether Maher has or not remains
to be seen. | think that a contest be-
tween Maher and Shnrkey would have
been one of the biggest money getters
imaginable. Perhaps such an encoun-
ter may be brought about before Sept.
!. We hope so.

the uttermost parts Of the earth-to
Jerusalem with a great company, to
see and hear all the wisdom Of Solomon.
The annals of Abyssinia say that she
was pagan when she left Sheba or

at the sight Of SOlomon's works, she
became proselyte to Judaism while at
Jerusalem. She likeW ise bore Solomon
a son, whom she called Menelek, and
carried him with her on her return to
5heba. After a lapse OF few years.
Menelek was sent back to Solomon to
educate and he had him thoroughly
Menelek was crowned of Ethiopia in

being all of one language, one color

tower of prodigiOus extent and height
