All For the Bows and Girls
SOMETHING ABOUT TOPS.
Spanish Peg and Whip Are Always
Good Sport.

The Spanish peg top is made Of ma
hogany. 1t is shaped somewhat like a
pear. Instead Of a sharp iron peg, 1t
has a small rounded knob at the end.
AS it spins for a much longer time
than the English peg top and does not
require to be thrown with any degree
of force in order to set it up it Is eX-
tremely We'll adapted for playing on
flooring Or pavement.
Whip top is a capital sport when
played by two persons. 1t is played by
first whirling the top into motion by
turning it sharply with both hands and
then by logging it till its motion be-
comes very rapid. When two persons
play whip top the object should be for
each to whip his top to a certain goal,
he who reaches it first being the victor.

Then he broke of abruptly, for
the second time he had been about to

In fact the Professor felt singular
ly disconcerted at the approaching
resignation of his assistant In the
big Arizona observatory he had ex-
perienced great difficulty in obtaining
a satisfactory assistant. Men had
come and gone; but, until Miss Mar

And he could not afford to disappoint
those. who were expecting his report

They were seated together in the
observatory a few hours later. The
moon was full and the clear atmos-

easy. Despite this, however, the work
proceeded very slowly indeed. Miss
Marston seemed as preoccupied as
the professor.

By Local Doctors

Paul Thompson, a brother of Miss
Ollie Thompson, CHIEF operator for
the telephone company, underwent
painful and delicate operation at
st. Mary's hospital Saturday morn

suffered for five years from the
malpractice of physician in Cody,

Thompson sustained the fracture
in Wyoming little more than five
years ago, and ever since has suf-
fered good deal from the injury.
The bone was poorly set and caused
sharp pains continually. He came
here to visit in November and the
operation was decided upon recently
when he decided to bear the pain no
longer. The leg was cut open Satur-
day, and the bone examined. The
fracture was resent and strong sill
yer plates were bound around the
bone with silver wire.
II is thought the delicate operation
will prove entirely successful. Mr..
Thompson will be at the hospital
