What's become of the fellow who
said few months ago: "Oh, wish it
would get hot?
How do you like the weather, folks,
This hail and snow and ice?
Isn't it great, you freezin' blokes,
Say, isn't this GOODNESS nice?
Get out your sled and hockey skates,
Two strides and away you 60.
Put on your fUrs or you'll likely
freeze,
Out in this Wintry blow.
That surely reads GOOD to a fellow
now,
These thoughts of winter drear,
But then again it seems, somehow,
That winter isn't here.
Chicago sure appreciates the fact
that we have great beaches. About
steen thousands show their appre-
citation every day.
Lake Michigan is one Of the
best lifeguards going, when the
sun is registering around 100.
The kids who are running lemon
ade stands nowadays with the sign:
"AII you can drink for nickIe," out
in front, are running an awful
chance of going broke.
Bathing will continue at the Vari-
GUS beaches all through the summer
if some famished gent don't go out
and try to drink the lake dry.
Cause for silence: The pupil
who threw that spitbau, please
say So"
They don't agree: Any one 0 fus
and 100 in the shade!
Old timers: 81 am going to the
club. Will be home at g o'clock"
Things to be thankful for: A lit
tie lake breeze.
Hot? Go to Nevada! They're
wearing OvercOats down there.

Once upon a time it was a hot day,

There was a hammock hanging be-
tween two trees. Or we might say
dropping, for even the hammock was
hot.
They were sitting here. There was
a she and a he. docs 'ou 'ove our
little snookums?" and all that sort of
thing, you know. And then she would
look up into the sun until her eyes
watered and he would think she was
shedding tears of affectedness.
There they set and swung and
sweat. Every once in a while a "Uh,
huh" would escape from one of
them. Outside of that, just siIentness

spiration.

her home).
Not a sound from the hammock.
Just perspiration.
The father appears and shortly
Carey beats it for the house, in tears,
or sweat.
The "he" in the swing, though COW
cred with sweat, finds that he can
still be hotter. Father convinces him
to that extent. And father is good at
making it hot for Carey's callers.
Such is life.

LOCAL ITEMS.

The City Assessor is doing things these days. He has made valuations at a high figure on all merchants who failed to turn in, filled, the blanks which he supplied them for that purpose. In addition he has raised the assessment returns sent in by many of the merchants. One he has increased from three to sever thousand and another merchant prince had his increased from eight to sixteen thousand. That flourish ing business can be conducted on a shoe string will not receive any par ticular encouragement from this city official. It is further intimated that there will be things doing when the Board of Equalization meets. Att torney O'Neill, according to this statement will have the merchants and other tax payers sworn,. and will have a stenographer present to take down the sworn testimony of the tax evaders. This will enable, the city to enforce the perjury clauses of the taxation law and will scare some from giving testimony that they might later on have reason tc regret.

THE DIAMOND FROM THE SKY
 AT DREAM TONIGHT

Chapter 7.-"The Fox and the Pig"-The fight, thought uneven, is superb. It seems going against Arthur, when at breakneck speed he rides his horse to the highest tier of the grand stand, jumps and escapes. Arthur comes upon dead fox hunter, changes clothes with the body, and eludes his pursuers. Meanwhile Hagar's detective discov- CTS that the finger prints on the throat of murdered Dr. Lee are not Arthur's but those of Blair Stanley. Hagar rushes to Mrs. Stanley with the evidenece, and Blair strikes her into unconsciousness. Then he hides her handcuffed form in the Stanley secret chamber, and fees madly with the discriminating photographs of his own finger prints. Not far away is a small colored boy driving pig. He sees an owls meet, chambers aloft after it and finds the gleaming diamond from the sky" To- morrow night, big Pathe Feature a'The Hound Of The Baskervilles" 1 parts.
