BLOOMS THE SUMNER GIRL.
"a Glad Variation i'm an All Too
Melancholy World"


Is the summer girl simply the sweet
girl graduate, just escaped from classic
halls? Statistics are silent, but it is a
good guess that the girl graduate and the
summer girl are largely identical. Only

seeing things as they are not, but as they
ought to be, the summer girl is a glad
variation in an all too melancholy world.
Perfect, with the freshness and luster of
the new-blown rose. life upon the whole
world would be very much less beautiful
without her.

iron shod pike.
with his pike Snyder "shooed" the
smaller alligators but 'Lanky Bob" re-
fused to go. Finding commands and prods
of no avail, Snyder dropped into the tank
and prodded the monster from the rear.
The saurian then swung his tail and caught
the keeper unawares, knocking him against
the opposite side OF the tank.
Half stunned by the blow, Snyder lifted
his legs just in time TO escape the mighty
Jaws of the alligator. The keeper then
dealt the alligator a blow over the head and
held 1t against the side of the tank while
he worked. When the alligator would
wriggle free the keeper would hold 1t again
with his pike and finally completed his task

The pioneer 16-inch breech-loading coast
defense gun, which cost about 100000 to
build, is lying in a ditch at Sandy Hook
proving grounds, and may never be fired
again. The gun is only three years old,
and has been discharged only about a
dozen times. One of the strong claims
made for the gun is that, with proper
elevation, it is possible to fire 1t at Sandy
Hook and land it's ton-weight projectile
in City Hall park, twenty-one miles away.
Even If the gun is mounted again. 1t is
said that a similar rifle will never be
built by the government, because any ex-
tended firing. even in practice, would make
big inroad in the United States treasury.
The weight of the gun is so great as to
make it almost impossible for its builders
to construct a carriage strong enough to
hold it, The chief objection to the gun is
that too many men are required to handle
it. More than half a ton of powder. cost
ing $2S5, is needed to fire the guns pro-
jectile, which costs $500, and is about as
tall as an ordinary man. 1t was the in
tention Of the government to build forty
guns similar to the one which has been
| sidetracked at the proving grounds. All

Well spring broke, and the population of
Flatbush went right on increasing. Yet as
early as March doctors. clergymen, neigh
borhood gossips and others who notice such
things began to mark strange fact They
were all boys.
In one week Of early March five citizens
of F1atbush, popular in church and womens
club circles, paced their parlor floors and
wrung their hands; and to them appeared
five nurses, who said:
Doing nicely, sir, and it's fine little
boy"
About the same thing happened along
further F'latbush avenue. In two or three
days the doctors took to stopping their
barouches as they passed one another and
talking across the wheels in low, excited
tones.
Certainly beats alr' they would say be-
fore they drove on.
March came; it was the day of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Inauguration, and the doc
tors and gossips and people who believed
in signs said that Flatbush ought to make
a boy record for itself that day. By per-
verse stroke of fate only two babies were
reported to the gossips on that day-both
girls They were named Theodore. And
everybody said that it was just an accident
about those boys; things happen that way
sometimes.
Next day the scene jumped back, and
since then 1t has seemed to rain boys In
F'latbush Hodcarriers and merchant
prince bartenders and cergymen Judge
and cop-it was all boys for theirs. Now
and then little girl came by way Of va
riety. In every single case it was found
that the parents of the girl babies, crop of
the spring of 1906, were recluses from
church and womens club society.
The peanut parties of last year and the
boy crop of this year are regarded by the
scientists as related revelations, marking a

| in this way: Last year along in June,
! just when Flatbush society was getting ac-

mothers gave peanut lawn party. Peanut
ice cream was served in paper mache imi-
tations of peanut shells. The japanese
paper napkins had a peanut design. There
were peanut waffles and peanut glace,
| peanut bonbons and peanut butter sand
wiches. 1t was one of the most brilliant
social functions ever held in Flatbush
The Epworth leagues peanut party for

cited "Uncle Rastus and the Peanuts and
gave shrieklngly amusing impersonation

| of the club were seen in a very pretty and

the course OF peanut from its planting TO
its sale from n pushcart.
Next the Shakespeare club gave peanut
afternoon, with papers on the growth and
| cultivation of peanuts. There was debate
| on tho question, Are Peanuts Indisest-

QUESTION OF
ADJOURNMENTS


Considerable discussion is going ON
among members of the legislature poe
glrdmg their legal right TO adjourn for
longer than three days at "a time and
do. matter has been discussed with
Governor Garter by members of botn
houses. The same controversy was up
during the last session. The members
want to keep the session going II pos
sible until the County Act case is de-
Cidcd, but don't want to- meet every
day, and some of them think they can
adjourn for a month and go home and
then return and resume the session,
The Organic Act says: Neither house
shall adjourn during any session for
more than three days, or sine die, with
out the consent of the other"
Some of the members claim that this
means that without the consent Of the
other neither house shall adjourn either
sine die or for more than three days,
during a session. The governor holds
that the consent of the other refers
only to the adjournment sine die and
that the phrase neither house shall
adjourn during any session for more
than three days" stands alone as an
dDShlule pIOulDlllou OF an duJoul IllIlelI
for more than three days The COVER
nor reinforces his view by reference to
other states and to Congress, claiming
that even if the sentence as it stands
is open to either construction, usage
and custom show the intention of the
makers of the act to prohibit lengthy
adiournments during a session.
The governor had conference with
Speaker Knudsen yesterday about H.,
and both agreed that it would be d
good thing for the Territory at this time
| il long adjournment could be taken,
as it would save expense and might
