NO-yAZZ BAND OF SEALS FOR BOBBY.

wv E were at the circus and
" one of the acts was a
w band of trained seals. OF
course you have seen seals per-
fern and know how wonderfully
clever they are. :
Bobby's eyes danced as he
watched these strange animals
playing the drum and blowing
horns. Quietly, he. turned to me
after the act was finished and
said: -
Foxy Grandpa.y I'D like to have
a troupe of seals myself"
Isn't one enough for. you?" I
chuckled, thinking Of Z Bobby's
seal which we had left at our
bungalow on the California coast.
One isn't, enough. for al band. :"
answered Bobby seriously. =.
The circus ended and we went
home. Soon after that we left
for the west coast and all the
way. out on the train, Bobby
talked of the tricks he was going
to teach his seal and of the jazz
band he had in mind.
AS we walked into the. yard of
our bungalow, Bobby made a
dart for the pen in which our
caretaker kept the seal and I
must say Bobby had "a warm
reception. The seal Tipped his
flappers until they sounded as
if someone were getting a good
spanking. You know seals are
splendid pets and are most affec-
tionate. ~
That very day Bobby took out
his drum and started the music
lessons and how> quickly the seal
learned to beat the stick. .on the
drum. @
"A drum is the most important
part of a band, announced Bobby
that evening. Nov I've got it
started. II could only get an
other. seal! This one leads a
rather lonely life, anyway. I'd
like to catch young one and
start training him early"
:, Perhaps you WILL" said Bunny
quietly,
Now, whether rabbits have a
kind OF second sight and see
things before they happen, or
whether it is only Bunny who
has this gift, 1 don't know. But
Bunny is great prophet.

went out on the bay in our row.

in -jiffy held the slippery,
squirming baby seal in his arms
and tas a result soaked his blue
suit with the water which dripped
off the little fellow.

and I never saw3.a happier boy

The girl took off her glasses
and gasped:

shine is, how blue the sky. There
are flowers and kind faces every
where-I didn't see them before"
And how wonderful you are
with that joyous look in your
eyes murmured the youth next
her shyly, yet grown articulate
under the influence Of Love.
We've been acquainted many
years, yet | never before saw you

Meanwhile there was a general
buzz of conversation. Everyone
was discovering in his old friend
or new acquaintances a sweeter,
finer personality.

Cupid, climbing on the table and
pounding with his pointer for at
tention. ANY more questions?
That's what we're here for-to

girl, who murmured:

the path of true love never did
run smooth. Does that mean that

But the poet who wrote those
lines has misled so many.
Human life is filled with trials.
dangers and ,disappointments. But
true love will always point to you
the wiser, better path to follow,
point the way to peace and Joy.
True love is unselfish-that's how
you recognize it--seeks to give
rather than receive. But here's
a secret: In giving, love receives
ten-fold. That's the law of love.

A man always feels a little
resentful toward a woman who
forces him to break off a love
affair, but a woman always feels
grateful to the man who gives
her a CHANCE to do the break

Why is it that a man with a
purple past always picks out a
wife with baby'blue background
and then is so astonished and
chagrined to discover that the
colors clash? -.
Once upon a time there was a
man who was perfectly satisfied
with the form of his golf, the
make of his car, the size of his
bankroll and the kind of woman
he married-but this is only a
fairy tale, darling.

came up in the initial tilt.
Judge made n good pickup of
Ogden's low throw of Archdeacon's
sacrifice bunt in the third inning.
The ball hit the dirt right at Joe's
toes.
Falk's homer In the second inning
was high fly that just cleared the
screen in front of the right-field
bleachers.
Sheely knocked down Ruers drive
that appeared good for two bases or
more int the fourth frame. but the
ball bounded from Earl's glove
against the back of Judge, who was
going to second, and rolled to right
field, so Muddy got a single anyhow

In the fourth inning, after Ruel
singled past Moreheart Peck threw
his bat at wide pitch for bunt to
Sheely and got to first before Thurs
ton could cover it for Eari's throw.
Then Zachary laid down a fine bunt
that Thurston had to go toward third
to get and apparently was safe at
first for the pitchers throw not only
was late, but pulled Collins of the bag.
Umpire Owens, though, ruled Zach
out, greatly to the surprise of the
fans in the right-field stands, who
booed the arbiter during the re-
mainder of the game.
BIucEe was robbed of a hit by F,alk

HUGGINS PLANNING
TO QUIT THE YANKS

NEW YORK, August 9.-Just be-
fore the Yankees left for the West

it be known to a few friends that he
intends to give up the leadership of
the team at the close of the 1925
season.
To these friends the Yankee man.
ager let it be known that he is tired
of the strain of driving a great base
ball machine, and intends to go into a
business where he can get some rec
reation. Perhaps it will be in the
base ball business as a club owner.
If it is the intention of Hug to
become a magnate he didn't say so.
He has an interest in a venture in
Cincinnati now, but it isn't connected
with the national game.
Huggins has been with the
Yankees since the spring of 1918. He
came to New York from the st. Louis
Cardinals, which team he had built
up for several seasons.
