There is one thing to be said in
favor OF the aerOnaut in Seattle who
made ascensions at the Woodmen of
the World carnival. Like everything
else in the Queen City he went up,
but unlike anything else in that town,
he did not remain up. but came down
again, which in itself is a treat to be
remembered.
All that the teamsters won bv strik-

the members of that union to have
vacation for few weeks, and perhaps

The FL. says any ono who makes
the charge that Upton only raced for
the cup to advertise his tea, exhibits
the spirit of a cad. When anyone
thinks Of Lipton's name, he also
thinks of tea. While we are no cad,

musicians OF st. Louis is outrageous,
not saying anything Of the hours.
