i Ai6hI al The outset We want 10 eAs
 tend our congratulations to the office
 boy II must be grand feeling to be the daddy of such youth as he.
 We did not think so much about
 the reading in that Republican man
 ual. but the pictures were good.
 Lying in bed. one has plenty of time
 to read matters of most import
 current events of the day, If you
 don't believe it. get sick for a week
 or so.
 M. Emile coue. the eminent drug
 gist of Nancy. France. who made
 lame on a SEQ bill. is now in our
 midst. as the various papers so stat
 ed within the past few days. As
 W. k. pharmacist of Nancy no one
 cared about him. but when 1t came
 to his famous auto-suggestion, he
 leaped into the limelight within a
 brief space of time.
 In our moments Of battling with
 old man Hard Cold" and well Into
 the time that we had received the
 referees decision over that tough
 winter battler. we have had an op-
 portunity to read somewhat of NJ. coue.
 | Our theory of coue is viz Day by
 day, in every way our beard grew longer and longer" It was not a | G,., l. al. T
 in our dilemma. No. just plain ton
 sorial artist. also referred as as bar
 Der by the majority. Frank McConn advises us that the office boy might be continued as the | editor of this column. Quite right, !'rank. But when the baseball season rolls around, why not give the kid a chance at managing the Kaceys base ball team?
 We cannot fail to think of Halley's | comet, when we look upon some of | the present day basketball players | trying to remain up where the stars belong.
 The All-New Britain basketball | team will play at Willimantic next Friday night. In that town. it is a case of protect yourself at all times"
 The local team has lost one good bet in Johnny Sheehan who has gone to Hartford to play. That boy, with his pleasant personality, and his splendid playing ability would look mighty sweet in a New Britain uni- form.
 We learn that among the stunts Mickey Travers of New Haven is en- gazing in while training for his bout with Kid" Kaplan of Meriden at the Silver City next Monday night. is climbing trees.
 Maybe Mickey is going to try and make a monkey out of Kaplan.
 One of the fine things that the box ing fans of Connecticut have gained by the turning in of Pete Coyle's license, is that he may have sense enough in the future to permit the men having good ringside seats to en- joy the bout.
 An out paper has published an article to the effect that the fans desire nothing but the best in the line of star bouts. It is interesting to read that in the same near-by-city within the next few days. promoters are goint to foist on the public one of those home town favorites, of the decided pork and bean flavor, against another unknown from foreign city. Won't someone please page Mons. Coue, who will undoubtedly say, Day by day, the boxing fans are getting wiser and wiser?"
 Martin J. O'Neil of this city, known better as Red" by the local football fans, has been elected captain of the Connecticut Agricultural college foot ball team for next season. "Red", who is a former member of the Unit ed States Marines, is one of the best linemen in New England despite the fact that some of the expert "pickers'' failed to give him his just dues last season. He is also a former member of the Nutmegs team.
