| had occasion to ride in quite
few of those perambulating NOR

When you go out TO ths Siss-
bee SnackerY these days for .
root beer float or some other
such mountaineering delicaeY like
whipped cream and chocolate
don't be surprised If anti-sUb-
marine warfare and a minor re-
voIUfion develops along the
floors around your feet. Over at
the back of the store someone
suddenly went mad and there is
now located there a miniature
Army-NaVY-Marine base equip
ped with every kind Of toy ina
gineahIe, and that is also where
you will find Phil.
The boys out at Sissbee have
put in the most complete toy de-
partment | have seen since
Christmas in Mays basement
quite some years ago, and ! pre-
dict it will be fhe most popular
hangoUf for the LoIIYpop set be-
fore you can say lsnatzhUnadUZ-
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
Birthdays have become quite .
problem in the summer time.
Both for obtaining the proper in.
gradients for giving q complete
lY satisfying party and for the
giving Of satisfactory gifts TO the
small fry. Christmas toys are
very much deIefed by fhis time,
and no place TO get any more.
Well the answer is now at Sigs.
bee, and Phil will be delighted
70 demonstrate.

Then back to the good old day
and what went on so years ago
Well it says that in June 1908,
young beautiful actress, Ethel Bar
rymore was roughing it at thu
Richard Harding Davises at Ma
rion. Massachusetts. New York
subway system was almost finish
ed and readers we're wildly &C
claiming a new and exciting bool
by Jack London called 1.-The Cal
of the Wild"
Then there was a quiz in thu
June journal of one hundred girl
about the man they would like Il
marry and it was found that tn,
most desirable qualities In a hus
band, according to them. of course
were these, in this order: Strengtl
of character, business ability, res
pect for women, love.
From all this, it seems, mayb,
progress is being made after all

Now ! have always held with
the idea that q vacuum cleaner
is q comparatively harmless
piece of machinery, although this
opinion Is not shared by Riley
cat. Well now, l don't suppose
that il could really climb right
up my arm and bite me, but
every so often II sesrss me to
death. Like The other day when
put in q new bag and started
10 clean the flea powder out OF
the sofa. The sweeper set Up .
bowling scream like a soul in
distress. Well turned the darn
ed thing off, shook IL . BIT, kick.

lightly with the screw driver.
The resultant howl when ! turn

that fading purple car parked In

course, after hearing the
