hour previously. It was the property of
Robert McGruder, an adopted son of Ma
Tor Sol. Cutchins and had been "llfted"
at the corner of Seventh and Franklin
Streets, where the boy had left It a few
minutes, while he stepped In nearby
house,
after the wheel had been dismounted and
left standing. Being acquainted with the
art Of riding, the man hastily mounted
the bicycle and rode rapidly away. He
was observed, but drove the machine 30

Station, where he broke down and con-
fessed to a number of bicycle thefts. He
said he ana his wife came here nearly

New York, July 2.-l'he three Ameri-
can cup yachts raced again Wednes-
day over "a ~thirty-mile windward and
leeward course and once more the Re
lance demonstrated her superiority
over the Constitution and the Column
bia. The 1903 boat defeated the Con.
stitution by five minutes, thirty sec.

utes, %forty-nine seconds. The time OF
three hours, four minutes and twenty
seconds made by the Reliance
breaks the new cup course record of
three hours, nine MINUTES and 1ty.
three seconds made on Monday by the
new boat. The Constitution came
within four seconds of the time made
on Monday and the old defender was
tWenty-four seconds behind it. Not
only was the beat to windward made
in remarkably fast time by all the con.
testants, but on the run home with
s%pinnakers and ballooners pulling like
mad. the three sloops fairly flew. The
Reliance again eycelled the Constitu.
ton at this point Of sailing, covering
the fifteen miles in one hour, eleven
minutes and forty seconds, better
speed than most steamers can make.

you've heard about the horn of
plenty, of course said a young mar
Pied man. "Now let me tell you about
the horn of peace. Alice and l have
our little differences of opinion now
and then-I suppose all young married
people do-and sometimes it is not easy
to effect a reconciliation right away,
we are both so high tempered. Well.
the other evening we went into a deli
catessen shop in our neighborhood to
get something nice for our evening
luncheon. We had just had a lively
little quarrel and had made up. In the
back of the shop a little boy and a lit
tie girl. the proprietoi's children. were
having a vociferous quarrel over some
toys. She slapped him; he kicked at
her: then she slapped him again; then
he pulled her hair.
"Suddenly on this unpleasant scene
appeared a third child, a baby boy of
about two years. He Immediately
scrambled into the melee and out again
with a tin horn, which he began to
blow nightly. He blew so loud that
it drowned out the sound of the quar-
rel. He went up to his brother and
blew the horn in his face: then he
went up to the little sister and blew
the horn in her face. The two wran-
glers stopped quarreling and laughed.
The baby kept on blowing the horn,
the other boy beat a drum and the girl
began to pound on a toy piano.
"We were served by this time and
started out. At the toyshop on the
way home Alice turned to go in. and l
said:
"'What do you want in there?'
"'I'm going to buy a tin horn,' she
said.
"'Good!. l exclaimed. Well get the
biggest horn they have
"We bought a big horn. and nov
whenever there is any sign of a quar-
rel coming or one or the other of us
blows on the tin horn: then we laugh
and make up This is the story of the
horn of peace. 1t never fails, and
there is no patent on it. Tell about il
to everybody you know if you wal
to."-Detroit Free Press.

Basil s,+oXiey veteran doorkeeper at
Fosd's Grand Opera House in Balti-
more. Who has known all the theatrical
celebrities of the last half century, de-
clarcs positively that the body buried
in Green Mount cemetery as that Of
John Wilkes Booth is the corpse of
some other person, says the New York
World.
Mr.. Monkey was moved to break his
long silence by the story That came
from Oklahoma that a man who died
there recently declared on his death
bed that he was really Lincoln's as
sassin. Mr.. Monkey said:
Certainly the body buried in Green
Mount was not that Of Booth, for l was
IN Of the pailbearers. and | can safe
~ say to you that there never were
any two things in this world which re-
semblcd each other less than THAT body
did John Wilkes Booth. l had known
Booth all my life and was very close
to the family. l saw the body several
times. The hair on the dead mans
head was Of a reddish brown color,
while Booths was as black as jet.
Mrs. Booth, the mother of John
Wilkes, was naturally nearly prostrat-
ed with grief at her sons action and
the stories of his horrible death in the
barn II later the report that the gov
ernment had taken Charge OF the body.
In order that the affair might become
a thing Of the past as 500 as possibla,
some friends determined that it would
be best to bring the body here (Balti-
more) and bury it in the family lot in
Green Mount. Through these friends
Mrs. Booth applied to the government
for the body. This brought matters to
a crisis. for l do not believe that John
Wilkes Booth was ever killed in that
barn. and If any n was slain it was
Of the real assassin.
AT any rate. it was incumbent upon
the government to furnish a body to
make good it's report that Booth had
been killed. and it did SO. Well. of
course we were all very much surpris-
ed at first-the four of us who were
selected as ~pallbearers. We conclud-
ed that it was better to say nothing
more about it than to raise another hue
and cry which might kill the mother,
SO We kept our discovery secret, con-
soled the mother and buried the body
as that of John Wilkes Booth"

NJ OF THE HOUR
Destination Unknown.

1t occurred on Il lower Mississippi
steamboat which lay at a small land
ing taking on freight. The deck hands
hurried back and forth across the
gang plank, carrying to the boat boxes,
barrels and similar burdens and has,
tening to the wharf again for the next
load. They were goaded to their work
by a blasphemous second mate who.
pencil in hand, stood on the deck at
the emf of the plank making a note of
the nature and destination of each arti.
Gle brought aboard. This Information
was sung out by the men as they
passed, and all went smoothly enough
until an old darby appeared leading
or dragging, rather-a reluctant goat.
Upon reaching the deck the negro
paused in awkward silence before the
recorder of freight, scratched his head
and glanced reproachfully at his
charge. The official with the pencil
looked up in quick impatience at the
delay and Numbered out an i%nterroga-
tory "Welly"
The old darby, in great confusion,
bent over the goat, fumbled nervously
at the rope about it's neck and in an
other moment brought to light a bit of
dingy pasteboard which seemed to be
the merest fragment of a freight tag.
Then, Strengthening himself up with
an air of relief, he removed his shape
less hat, bowed low to the indignant
mate and CALCULATED:

two eminent divines in the hereafter
