No Hitch in the PROGRAM.

A characteristic story of the late Jo-
seph Pilitzer about himself was one
to an occurrence which took
place after he had become editor and
part proprietor of the Westliche Post.
He had given great offense to GER
tain Judge in st. Louis and the latter
declared one day from the bench that
before the sun set he would seek out
Pulitzer and shoot him down like a
dog. If my memory serves me, Mr..
Pulitzer was in court when this threat
was made-in any case ii came to his
ears-and he Immediately issued an
extra announcing the proposed as
sasEination and stating that he would
remain In his Office until the setting Of
the sun in order that no hitch might
occur in the program Alleyne Ire and

whole houseful OF ieady.made locomo-
tives and fire-engines, which, to his
critical eye, lack many important de-

These outfits consist of strips Of

holes punched at equal distances from
end to end. Included in these sets are
also gears, pinions, pulleys, Hanged
wheels, aKles, beams, etc, which give
the boy all the parts necessary to
build up almost any kind of NINA

gether by means of small screws and
nuts, and the structures that can be
built in this way in remarkably

are formed In imitation OF structural

to him in later years, even though he

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN BOYS
New Haven Educators Surprising

ion Entitled TO Weight.


George L. Fox of New Haven, who
has oeen an educator In that city for
long series of years and student
OF school conditions in the English
public schools for the last 20 years,
has made the discovery that the aver
age English schoolboy al the age OF
nineteen years is two years farther adj

age American schoolboy at the same
age and about the equal Of the aver
age German boy of the same age, the
Hartford Times states. As Mr.. Fox
has arrived at this conclusion after
having become a veteran master in
American schools and after having
personally visited two score or more
English schools, his opinion Is entitled
