BADGER FOR PET
BUTTE'S LATEST
LITTLE JIMMIE WEIGH, 8, SAYS
DOGS ARE OUT-OF-DATE FOR
UP-TO-MINUTE BOYS
Flat, Striped Back Animal Follows
Owner About and Is As Playful As
Kitten and So Far Has Never
Scratched or Bitten.

Little Jimmie WEIGH Of Butte Is
going modern" quite as eagerly as
any comic strip kid. The badger has
supplanted the dog In the affection
OF little Jimmie, age nine. Dogs, In
'Jimmic's opinion, are all right for
Riddles with stone age tendencies,
but from the standpoint Of the up
tO-date future citizen there Is moth
Ing quite as nifty as q good husky
badger.
Jimmie's pet is a flat, striped-back
little animal with an impertinent nose
n long toe-nailS which cause him
to wobble when he runs, like q splay-
footed darkey "wid misery" in his feet.
The affection between the little ami
mai n his master Is quite as pro-
nounced as in the case of a boy and q
dog or a little girl and her kitten.
Jimmie's pet, which is still in the
kitten stage, follows his little master
about as her lamb Is said to have fol-
lowed Mary. When the boy lifts the
little beast in his arms the badger
buries his pointed little nose down the
collar OF the lad as If preparing to
take a nap. AS dOcile as a trained
pigeon, the heavy knife-like claws that
the little beast has already developed
supoest the thought that the badger
would be an ugly customer to handle
should he at any time go native"
I'VE got him at Warm Springs" jim
mic says. Hes young. We call him
Fever because he's a warm number.
All right to play with? Sure. He
doesn't bite or scratch and he follows
me everywhere. Odd pet? More fun
In a BADGER than in the guinea pigs
my s~ix-year-old brother fuses over"
Like the great man he is, Jimmie
having been interviewed as long as he
thought necessary, picked up Fever and
walked out on his interrogation while
the latter had a half-formed sentence
on his lips. Jimmie lives at 10 North
Washington, street in Butte. He is the
son Of David WEIGH. He attends the
Lincoln school and is in the third grade.
The badger hasn't gone to school as
yet, but this oversight will be corrected
this year-if teacher doesn't watch too
closely.

STOCKS DISPLAY
SINKING SPELL
DURING MORNING
Trading During Early
Hours Is Dullest In
Several Weeks.

NEW YORK. July "a. W.D-
Stocks experienced another sinking
spell near the close today after the
list had displayed Il sagging tend
ncy through the earlier hours of the
session. Declines in the leaders
were limited to around thre points
with several special issues suffering
losses up to seven points. Most
stocks at the finish were below yes
terdav's close.
Selling near the close was induced
in part by the failure Of the market

sharp rccessions from their early
highs in prices of leading stocks
Yesterday.
Trading during the first four
hours of dealings was the dullcSt in
weeks with market leaders meeting
support at fractional losses. Con
stant hammcring of prices in the
leading issues by bcarish profess
sionalS. however. finally wore down
the morale of the bull forces and
stocks were allowed to drift lower
at the close without meeting con
ccrted support.
Preliminary averages of Dow,
Jones x Company showed "A loss Of
4.05 points to 23j.3l for the in
dustralS and Of 033 to 1925 for
the rails. Sales for the session
were l,41j,240 shares, the smallest
volume since July 9 when sos, ,020
shares were traded.
Accompanying the late decline
was AN increase in sales volume, al
though the selling was not of SUI
ficient proportions to hc Of much
significance. the decline being due
more to Il lack of support rather
than to any concerted selling move

bounds from the last hour lows
were made by speculative favorites.
