kept his airship.

"Oh, I trust not! / trust not!" ex-

We'll, all the same, you had better
take some courtplaster along in case
you scratch your twinkling nose on q

lady. So Uncle Wiggily took the court
plaster.
Then he went for ride in his queer
sairship. I call it queer because it
was. The old rabbit gentleman's air.
sSahip was made Of clothes basket,
with lot Of toy circus balloons tied to
ait to make it rise up. In back there
was q whizzy electric fan to make the
airship 60 along like an automobile
/ and there was baby carriage wheel

W big Japanese umbrella, over the bal
looms, to keep hail stones from pelting
holes In them and making them burst,
That happened once, and Uncle Wig
axily and his airship had dreadful fall,
lust like Humpt-Dumpty.
''But I'll not fall today" said Uncle
EWi6gily as he got in the clothes bas-
let and sat on the sofa cushions.
He had taken the atrship outside the
barn, and as he loosed the string that
held 1t fast, up 1t shot into the air, just
like q balloon Then Uncle Wiggily
started the electric fan, and away he
went a. nicely as you please.
"Oh, there he goes!" cried Sammie

rem, as they stood on the ground be-
low, and watched him. please take

begged
Not now, my dears,' he said kindly,

So Sammie and Susie hoped on
and Uncle Wiggiy travelled along in
his airship. ..

italy Seizes German Ships.

Italy has not been at war with Ger
many. Italy has been fighting Austri-
ans. As the Germans have been busy
upon both fronts and in the East, and as
/ Austria has held out against the Ital-
ians, German troops have not been sent
| to help the Austrians. 1t is almost a
technicality, but Italy and Germany have
/ been at peace while Italy has sought to
recover Triests from Germany's chief
ally.
German ships have been interned in
Italian ports just as they are now in
termed in American ports. When Brit
ons took command of the seas the Ger
man merchant vessels took refuge in the
nearest neutral port. Now most of the
German ships which have lain for Is
months at Italian docks have been seized |
by the Italian authorities.
An historic parallel may be found in :
the seizure of American ships by the |
French during the rule of Napoleon. Ma |
poleon professed friendship for the Unit (
ed States. He strove to get our COM !
merce into the French system and he
found certain relief in our purchase OF
Louisiana in that it gave him needed
ready money. Yet he did not hesitate (
to seize some 500 or 600 of our ships
during his struggle with British sea
power.
July 2, 1896 the French consuls at
Malaga and Cadiz seized more than 300l
American vessels simply because They'll
were destined for British ports. The
American commission, which went to'
France to get satisfaction, declared that
the loss was upward of $l5,000,000.
France and the United States remained
at peace in spite of the seizure. 1t is
not impossible that Germany and Italy
may remain at peace despite the "a Ger
man ships which Italy has taken; rel
can be made for loss of proper
ty. unlike loss of life. 1t may be, on the
other hand, that the measure is merely
to a declaration OF war as
soon as the Italian Parliament begins
its session.-Boston Globe.

 While with the Brookfeds Blue- jacket pitched fairly we'll, winning ten games and losing eleven. He deserted the Brookfeds in midseason but later was reinstated.
 Bluejacket this season has not been doing anything to boast of, but Man ager Herzog of the Reds has decided to give the Redskin a thorough try out One day last week Bluejacket was pounded for fifteen hits for total of twenty bases by the Hannibal club, the final score being g to 1.

TINKER AFTER STAR.
Rumor Has It That Evers Will Again
 Wear Cub Uniform.

Chicago, July 7.-Manager Joe Tinker and President Weeghman got together yesterday and prepared a piece of fancy tinware for Eddie Mulligan. The Cubs are close to making a deal for new shortstop.
 It was reported from a source pretty close to the Chicago head quarters last night that the player in question is Johnny Evers. Neither Tinker nor Weeghman would admit it. Evers is particularly anxious to get a transfer to Chicago. Efforts to land him have failed because Chicago refused to give up Heinie Zimmer- man, Evers is here with the Braves.
