as news. these publishers address
themselves almost exclusively to the
interests of men.
Mr.. Dwyer, the editor, dreamed of
the Bulletin 20 years ago when he saw
his copy blue penciled by the press
associations. He yearned for an I'm.
trammelled medium for the expression
of his views without the intervention
of copy readers or editors The re,
suit was the Bulletin, a single sheet
newspaper, 22x25 inches in size, print,
ed three times a day-at noon, at
three o'clock in the afternoon, and at
seven o'clock in the evening. Bi.
cycle messengers distribute it to the
subscribers.
You can see it in almost any public
place. The page is filed with about
800 words of news. This is 'fringed'
with prosperous array of advertise
ments, mostly of amusements, liquors
cigars, mems wear and resorts. The
Syening edition carries story of the
local baseball game and the major
league results. The noon and after.
noon editions carry no baseball news
except the standing of the American
league clubs.

Washington Furnishes Prize Summer Fish Story

FISH stories may go and fish stories
1 may come, but the piscatorial yarn
related by Capt. Charles H. Thomp-
son, a sea-beaten mariner of Miami,
Fla, makes all others appear like a
bush league alongside of Ty Cobb.
Said fish was right in the midst of
Washington for more than five months
while a Washingtonian. ]. S. Warm
beth, mounted it.
AS Captain Thompson, in company
with w l. Brooks and a Norwegian
sailor, were cruising off the coast OF
Miami. Fla, on June l, 1912, there
hove into sight a huge monster. the
like of which man never before had
laid eyes upon. A mighty struggle
for supremacy ensued and man was
declared the victor
Five harpoons and Isl bullets were
required to subdue the monster, and it
took five days to kill it. Before it
was under control it smashed a boat
into thousands of pieces and knocked
the ruddS and propeller off a 31-ton
yacht. The crew was towed around
the ocean for SO hours by the monster
at a speed of about As miles an hour
When it was finally brought into shore
more than 5000 people were on the
steamship ways at Miami City OF,

police. bankers, and the greater part
Of the population of Miami will vouch

heels for joy and neigh or bray, each
after his own fashion. Though horse
less carriages, horseless wagons.
horseless plows, horseless reapers,
horseless whatnots are in our indus
trial midst in surprising numbers. still
our old, time-honored friends-the
horse, the mule, the ass, and the burro
loom larger than they ever have be-
fore in our national life.
Let us consider these facts which
have been extracted from a recent
number of the Crop Reporter, that
publication of much esoteric interest.
issued by authority of the secretary
of agriculture: On January /, 1913.
the total number of horses on farms
and ranges in the United States was
2O,567 900, valued at $11077 per head,
with an aggregate value of s2.27S,222r
600. Compared with January l, 1917,
horses had increased $4,000; mules
increased $4,000; mich cows decreased
2O2 900; other cattle decreased 1890.
600; sheep decreased $4,000; swine
decreased 4,232,000.
Without pausing here to discuss
what bearing this decrease during the
year 1912, in the numbers of cattle.
sheep, and swine, may have on the
future of these useful quadrupeds, we
will just say that so far as is indicated
by those impartial records-the Unit
ed States census reports-neither the
horse, the mule. the ass, nor the burro
has ever suffered any such setback.

according to Joseph himself, Easley is
the right dope. He started his base
ball career as a pitcher for a cotton
mill team in 1907 The next season
ne played his first professional en-
gagement with Greenville in the Caro-,
lima league. Joe was placed in the
Outfield and led the league in batting,
with a percentage of 343. He was
purchased by the Athletics, but re-
fused to play in Philadelphia and was
farmed to Savannah in 1909. He led
the South Atlantic league batsmen
with an average of 1852. The next
year he was with New Orleans and
again showed himself champion bats

with an average OF 1866. Since he
joined the Maps i'll the latter part of
the season of 1910 Jackson's batting
marks show 1857 for 1910, .40S for 1911
and 1896 for 1912. Joe is still main
