a NAVAL VICTORY.

The drinking fountain at the post
office corner serves for many purposes
enc of which is a pond in which the
youngsters sail boats. Two miniature
warships in the hands of two small boys,
made things interesting or the corner
one afternoon recently. They had a
miniature battle in which Russia was
getting the worst Of it, when a thirsty
brewery team came along and wrecked
the japanese ship. I he boys started to
settle the differences between their re
spective sides for themselves. just then
one of the horses plunged his nose down
into the fountain and, throwing the
water to each side thoroughly drouced
the comnatants. This cooled their arGour
and the war Of nations was ended.
