The Cop Didn't Furnish the Item.

A gay young couple y-came whizzing
down the 'Boulevard on a. glaring yel-
low tandem. They were scorching.

' “Hey, there!” called the bicycle cop,
who stood in the shadow by his black
wheel; “slow up there, now.”

V‘Faster“went'the pedals on the tan-l

dem, and as the streak of yellow faded
from view than was wafted back on
the evening breezes in a girl’s voice
these words:

“Just tell them that you saw us. Ha!
Ha!”

“And that I raised you twice,” mur-
mured the bluecoat, smiling grimly as
he pulled his cap down over his eyes
and settled himself for a spin. At Six-
ty- seventh street he was getting dan-
gerously near the scorchers. They no-
ticed it, and-suddenly veered into Six-
ty-seventh street. Nearer and nearer
came the flying cop, and just as he was
in grabbing distance the scorchers
dodged into the Park, out of the COp’s
precinct. He then abandoned the
chase.

“That’s one that won’t get into the
papers,” puffed the man on the tandem,
as he helped his companion to dis-
mount.

“No,” replied the latter defiantly.
“You, never hear about the times they
get left.” ____' .

PULLED WITHOUT WAITING.

 

The Dentist Extracted a Tooth in a Street ,

Car.

In a. San Francisco street car a man
with a. swollen face was rocking to and

fro and moaning. Another passenger‘

boarded the an: and asked the sufierer
what the trouble was.

“I’ve got an awful toothache,” said
he. “and I would give $10 to have it
pulled.” .

“I’ll do it for half that,” said the
other.

“Go ahead.” 1

The newcomer drew a case of dental
instruments from his pocket, selected a
pair of forceps, and told the sufferer to
open his mouth. It was a trifle dark
and the conductor held a lighted match
while the dentist peered into the cavity
and finally adjusted the pincers. There
was a slight scuflle, a groan or two and
then the dentist exhibited the decayed
molar between the jaws of the forceps.

The promised 85 was handed over and
the men talked politics as the car, rat-

tled down the street.

In Honor 0'? Their Victory.

The Japanese, in order to celebrate
their recent victories, are going to erect
a. gigantic statue of Buddha. The
height will be 120 feet. The metal
will be supplied from the ordnance cap-
tured in the late war. The monument

. will cost about one million yen, and is

to be erected at Kioto.

The X Rays in Court.
Rontgen’s rays have made their first
appearance" in court. Miss Gladys
Ffolliott, an actress, brought suit

injuries received 'in falling down the

stairs from her dressing room. At the
trial she put in pictures of her injured
foot and of the Other one, taken by the
X rays, and got.her verdict. ‘

Under an Avalancho.

Three Viennese, tourists have fallen

120 feet deep-from an avalanche had to

‘ be cleared away to reach the bodies.

every day.

The oyster growers along the western
part of the state have decided to use
this year the young set from the natural
oyster beds ofi' Bridgeport, and grow
them on their cultivated‘beds. Here-
tofore the oyster growers in the vicin-_
ity of New York‘ and the south of Long
slaud have brought up the stock from
the natural bed and have had quite a
monopoly of it. This stock, after hav-

--ing been planted to the shell grounds

of the New York oystermen, has been
declared the best ovster grown. David
C. Sanford, civil engineer of the Shell
Fish Commission, says that the young
set is developing rapidly and will be in
the best condition by the time the sea-
son opens. The hot weather has
warmed the water and has 'had a good
effect upon the sock.

A few years ago nearly all newspapers
published, at this season, recipes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom

for these diseases and as it is in general use
everywhere they have quit publishing these
recipes. No one having a. bottle ,of this

The Filled Cheese‘ Swindle. _

Cheese made from skim milk totwhicb
lard oil or cottonseed oil has been added
has so disgusted consumers that con-
snmption has fallen off both at home,
and abroad. Meanwhile our long-head-
ed Canadian friends have made every
efiortto produce strictly honest cheese
of prime quality. Result: While United
States exports have declined one-half,
Canada’s exports have increased 400 per
cent! Certainly it is full time that Con-
gress decree that this product must be
made and sold for what it is. Several
bills to this end are now before the
House at Washington, and it behooves
every farmer to instantly write his
Representative and Senator ' at. vWash-
ington to enact this measure without
delay. Each State should have similar
lawn. Let us start right with the new
season, and make a long pull and a
strong pull and a pull all together to
reestablish the cheese industry up on
an honest and profitable basis. ~ This
will likewise benefit every farmer who
produces milk for market or for butter,
and will be a blessing to all censumers
of American dairy produce.—Farm and
Home. .

 

Imposing on Doblns,

—Why She Poses.
“When a girl comes in and insists on
a certain pose or expression,” says a

" Boston photographer, “you can be sure

she is getting up a ricture for a. certain
man. She has quarreled, perhaps, and
she means to convey by the picture that
she is sorry. Very few girls will say
that they are sorry, but they will go to
an elaborate trouble and expense to get
a picture representing them looking
mournfu'lly into space or glancing ap-
pealingly in a sort of ‘Oh, please don’t
oe cross with me’ way. Their idea is to
put the picture up in some conspicuous
place where he will see it.
will be softened, he will say something,
And then they can have it over.”
