Earliest Slot Machine

Coln-fn-the-SlOt machines were
known 200 years B. c., and it is prob
able that Ctesibius invented them.
They were used to dispense purifying
water to Egyptian worshipers as they
entered the temple. Five drachmae
had to be dropped in the machine In
order to receive the liquid. Slot ma
chimes did not come into general use
until about 100 years ago.

Sport of BoUIine

Bowling on alleys seems to have
been derived from the old game of
skittles, which in turn probably de-
veloped from the still older game of
bowls. 1t has its greatest vogue in the
United States, where it's popularity
has increased very rapidly, especially
since the latter part of the last GEN.

 TOM SAWYER ONE BETTER

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn might have found crockery hogs heads suitable town houses, and mus ty, dripping caves along the Missouri to their taste as rustic retreats, but that was long ago, before the Alaskan kiddo had emerged into the arena of juvenile activities. Could Tom, Huck and Joe cast their eyes upon the re- treat created by Richard Prosser, Bar ton Stanton and some smaller fry near the depot they would turn green with envy.
 If you wish to see it, look for the big American flag It floats over the throne-room of the dual monarchs of boydom.
 Pry little far the rand you will see a sylvan lake spotted with brave val kyries, caravels and what may be set down as Chinese junks. Low, rakish craft come and go They are the sea rovers inhabited by the spirits of Cap tain Kidd, Teech and Morgan, and whose crews at any moment may hoist the Jolly Roger" and descend upon the kingdom and sack it of it's treas ure and ladies faire.
 Become more inquisitive, salute the sentry at the moat and cross the draw bridge and you are gazing within the throne room. It is sheltered by an eight by ten tent Within are two cots, a camp stove, an egg crate con- verted into a cupboard and stored with things that make Huck Finn's catfish steaks look sick.
 You will find the blankets neatly spread upon the cots, the floor as clean as gravel will permit, dishes washed and turned upon the little table. In fact the f1appers who annex these two young sourdoughs may claim two splendid housekeepers as we'll as adventurous pirates who have sailed the troubled waters of Lowell creek and rid it of the buccaneers
 The lake comes right up to the door of the tent and was created by a ditch running from Lowell creek. The outer battlement where the defenders of the kingdom mount guard and scan the horizon for sea rovers on mischief bent, was created from the hulk of a valuable prize captured in some re cent raid; it is a cottonwood log, and forms the dam.
 The kiddos cook, eat and sleep ir their retreat, lulled by the flashing ot the waves upon the shore and the music of the fretful glacier stream as it journeys by the door on it's way tt the sea.
