Puff! Puff!

Puff! Puff!
Gee, but that was a peach"
A truly remarkable side-arm re-
turn at the net which sent the dy'
manic Willis Davis, newest OF Cali

headlong on his ear, elected this re-
mark which was supercharged with
all the girlish enthusiasm Of Molla
Bjurstedt.
A half consumed cigarette deftly
gripped between the pearly teeth or

wood club, Cleveland.
It's nobody's business IL Molla

The wonder woman from Norway
awaiting her turn on the feature

press stand. toting a lady-like supply
OF cigarettes and her crocheting.
Seated among the scribes, officials,
players and hangers-on, she nom
chalantly produced a cigarette, light

until the courts were cleared for
action.

critically. applauding the brilliant
cross-fre OF Davis and the logged
persistence OF the frail Pittsburger
who fought into the last trench.
Does smoking effect your breath

scribe queried during the tourna-
ment, oblivious Of the fact that he
might be spanked severely with a
racquet welded by the Norwegian
fash.
"Why do you ask" she retorted.

Sensational Rowing of Detroit
ers Makes Big Hit At
Quaker City

PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-The
Detroit Boat club has won high
place among American oarsmen. For
its skill and stamina, the east has
nothing but the highest admiration
this morning, and Coach Divie Dlf-
field, the amateur, who has given
his services to the western organ
izaiion since Vivian Nickalls came
TO the University OF Pennsylvania,
is now ranked az great as a mentor
az he was as an oarsman in the old
days.
The splendid work OF the junior
eight composed of Mlddleditch,
Prebel. II. Jackson, Zoller, p. Jack
son, Burnell. otter, and Mercer
largely is TO blame for the respect
which the east holds today for the
Wolverines. II entered the Junior
event. and swept the Schuylkill yes
terday, in the annual Peoples re-
gatta, which is an eastern classic OF
amateurs. II promptly entered the
intermediate class, and again swept
the river. Game TO the core, the
Detroit junior eight then tried for
the senior eight honors. and al
though II was beaten, 1t put UP a
fight that long will be remembered.
Jones and Macdonald. OF Detroit,
also won the intermediate double
SOULS in handy fashion, and took
second in the junior event OF this
sort. Henkell. of Detroit, was sec
ond in the junior single SOULS On
the whole, II was a big day for the

 There is in the world no other such

 They carry on a constant interchange between the waters of the poles and those of the equator, and thus dirnin- ish the extremes of heat and cold in

 And another name the English boys and girls have for boxed candies, is sugar plums,' when there is not a plunl>in them; and the French children call them "dragees," because this kind of candy was made by a celebrated candy maker of ancient Rome named Dragatus.
 A candy in tablet form called Pas tiles was invented by an Italian con- fectioner named Pastilla, although they are now a famous French sweet meat as also are 'spralines," the al- mond candies eaten at the tables of the French, and very popular with the French people of New Orleans and these were named after the sweet loving Frenchman for whom tEey were invented.
 And there is 8 city in Ceylon named Khandy which is thousands of years old, and 1t may havo been the very place where candy was first made and found it's name.
 There is no doubt the pretty Christ mas candies which will soon be here again are only modern in color and form, for the sweet tooth is older than history.

My Summers Work.

After school closed I began to work for MT. Whiting on his fruit farm. We began to pick berries the latter part of August.
 We would go up in the packing house and wait till the foreman came. Some mornings he was late in getting there.
 We used to start at half past six in the morning and get up there about seven and begin to pick. We would not get home till about five or half past at night.
 The kinds of berries we picked were strawberries, raspberries, entrants and cherries. I liked to pick strawberries and curI ants best. earned twenty dollars this sum ner on berries. Next summer MT Whiting will carry us sip in his auto truck. He will come right to our door and get us. That vii be better than 1 walking. got very hot and tired when pick ing berries.

How We Caught Squirrel.

One pleasant day last week my brother and I went to the woods to gather nuts. l took a pail and he took bag. After tramping about mile and not seeing any trees that had nuts on them we sat down on large stone.
 We were talking about the different trees that were around us. In one large oak tree my brother saw 9 peculiar nest. Curious to know what kind of a nest it was my brother climbed up and when she got very near a large gray squirrel jumped out: She sprang
 from one limb to the other until she reached the ground. 1 was sure could catch her, but before I could think she jumped upon the trunk of
 the tree and hid herself in d hole. I guarded the hole until my brother l came down. We kept very still and my brother placed the bag over the hole. She 1 did not come out very soon. We wait
 ed a very long time and at last she came out.
 We brought her home and my broth 1 CT made a little house for her, and 1 she became very tame.
 1 One cool night my brother moved l her to the attic and in the morning we could not find her. She most likely
 escaped through the window. 1 MARY ZEZULAWESZ, Age 12. 1 F,itchVille

The Match on the Barn Floor.

One day our hired man was light ing his pipe in the barn and he threw the lighted match or the hay, not thinking anything about the fire he was likely to cause; soon the hay was on fire.
 I happened to look out of the win dow and saw the barn on fire. l ran up to the barn, where our hired man was trying to put the fife out.
 The flames were all around him. 1 got out the cows in safety, but the horses were very hard to get out. I got out one horse by throwing my apron around his eyes. My favorite horse Bess I could not get out. I ran out of the barn before I was af1re. l had just got out when the barn fell and the poor horse was dead. I will never forget that fire. My fla ther did not let that hired man work for him any longer. LOLA LADD, Age 12. | Ca prl0l1rV
