Bosco found a string of beads on
the sidewalk In Market street yester-
day. If "Salomy' will call at the
office she may secure them. The
beads were alone when found. Some
times, you know, they are accomH
panied by a dance and a smile.
Saw a funny accident in New
York yesterday. An automobile
passed through a side street leading
into Broadway and on turning the
corner a semi-infated inner tube
dropped from the back of the car to
the road. A big truck was Just be-
hind the machine and In an instant
the heavy wheels ran over the tube
At the same moment there was a
report that sounded like a pistol
shot and a big plate glass window in
one of the Hilton stores was shat
tered. A crowd collected and for a
time there was considerable excite
ment. On investigation it developed
that when the inner tube exploded 1t
sent the imitation cap against the
store window with such force that
the pane was broken.
Natural Query.

love. Such an oversight.

Here's a tip for William T. Hart~
mann, u motorcycle cop:
"Millville, N. j., Aug. 80:-City
Marshal Biggs has adopted a novel
method Of Furnishing DRINKS who
are sent to the county Jail for four-
day sentences. The officer uses q
motorcycle in pursuing scorching
autoists and has had an extra hard
saddle placed on the real of his ma
chine. He compels the prisoner &C.
mount the rear and then speeds to
Jail with him. The inebrfates dread
the ride more than they do the tima
sentence"
Some "Bull," Not a Steer"
We find pearls in oysters and
clans here but ranchman down In
Texas has it on us "forty ways" He
found a gold watch In the stomach
OF a steer after 1t had been killed.
And still the price Of besf jumps
higher. Here's the story:
"Kerrville, Tex, Aug. 30:-Some-
thing more than four years ago a
nephew of D. Hughes, a stockman
Of this section, was helping the lat
ter round up some cattle when he
lost a gold watch. A few days ago
Mr.. Hughes sold a fat steer off his
ranch to O. J. Schuetze of this place.
When the animal was killed by the
local butcher the missing watch was
found in its stomach. The time
piece was in good condition. After
being rubbed up a little 1t started
running and is now keeping accurate
in the animals stomach all these
years. Mr.. Hughes has notified his
nephew of the discovery"

"Spodinis" Meets "Scutie."
While crossing Market street on
State about loon on Wednesday I
noticed a very familiar figure in
conversation with a lady. A second
look revealed the facts that the
young gentleman vas none other
than our friend "Scutie" and was
holding the young lady's hand. The
fact that the first degree of court
ship was being practiced or the
prominent locality that had been
picked for so doing did not appeal so
ridiculously to me until l noticed
within arms-length of the pair a
baby carriage containing a child. I
knew positively that. "Scutie" had
no wife or children and therefore
concluded that the little package in
the carriage belonged to the lady.
Just as I was about to offer my best
advice to my friend about alienation
of affections, ETC., the truth flashed
across my bemuddled brain that
"Scutle' is a doctor and was only
doing his duty. Who knows, maybe
the young lady had a sprained wrist.
