The great problem Of moving trucks anu

things has been practically solved As the
Edison electric vehicles come into use more
and more the horse will be done away Wltu'
and our cities will, in a short time be
practically noiseless. AS automobiles are

the substitution Of asphalt or kindred SUD

The capability Of the Edison battery Ior

main points which maxi the battery com,
mercially valuable. Through Edison
"bumping test" kept up for months az a
time at his laboratory, the inventor hhoNs
that his new battery will put up WIN II

In order, however, to settle the question:

,oHNL,s. AWFUL THIRST BROKE UP HIS SHOW

There was $50 coming to him for serV-
ices. Quietly he went up to the dis
trict court in the city hall and got out
an attachment on the cakes of ice ana
other scenery in the car. That was
the final blow.
No very violent protest had been
made at Trenton. where the company
PLAYED to one hundred and fifty dol
lar house and where John LIS food
bill in one evening amounted to S33.
The reason was that one of the slaves
had unguardedly protested at another
Jersey town, where most of the re-
ceipts had been swept away to meet
the eX-champion's food" bill and he
had received the punishment that Old
John l.. used to administer to his ring
victims.
"How could any show support a
thirst like that" whispered Little Eva
pointing in the direction of Simon Lee
gree. otherwise Mr.. Sullivan. The eX-
champion rose to the occasion.
Ladies and gentlemen" he said
"yours truly is not doing any ducking
or side stepping to dodge the fact that
his horrible thirst has caused all this
trouble. I've gor some friends left.
You'll all get breakfast, anyway, and
Get over to New York on the ferry.
Those cakes of ice are too slippery.
Even Eliza might fall in, and the wa
ter is real"
Mr.. Remington later produced the
SO. His father has a prosperous sa-
loon in Jersey City and is a great adj
mirer of Mr.. Sullivan. When he got
the SO, John L. shared it with the
company, giving each one more than
he retained himself. The company
promptly disbanded.
