The boy hastily withdrew a little farther. Then, keeping at a safe distance he slowly walked around Bluffer, the latter all the time turning so as to continualiy face him. Once safely around Bluffer the boy took to his heels and ran to Farmer Brown's house. He was quite out of breath when he reached the back door, Farmer Brown's Boy was standing on the steps. ""Hello!" he exclaimed. "What are you so excited about?" "Get your gun!' panted tr3 boy. "There is the worst look- ing snake up the road you ever saw in all your life! He's danger- ous! He ought to be killed be- fore he bites someone." "Was it a Rattlesnake?" asked Farmer Brown's Boy. "I don't know," confessed the other boy. "If it was he didn't rattle. He looked and acted ugly enough to be a Rattlesnake, He attacked me, Yes, sirree, le struck at me. Get your gun and we'll shoot him before he has a chance to get away." "I guess I don't need the gun," replied Farmer Brown's Boy. I'll take along a whip. That will fix him. You are sure it was a poisonous snake?" "Of course I am," replied the other boy.

JUDGE'S RULING FAVORS MODERN BATHING SUITS Chicago.--Municipal Judge EIl- liott has decided to be modern in the matter of bathing suits for girls. He looked over a 1910 or- dinance prescribing bloomer suits for female hathers and then took a look at pictures of a 1932 crea- tion and said: "Personally, I like the modern one. The ordinance should be also | changed. Why, a girl would sink if she dressed according to the regulations laid down by the City, Council." With these remarks he dis- missed a case against Miss Doro- thy Reeder, who attired herself in an ultra modern bathing suit recently and had herself arrested to test the antiquated law. The 1910 law is the only one the city has for regulation of bathing suits, and it was reinstated as a result of a parliamentary mixup. It was described by Charlotte Slavitt, woman lawyer represent- ing Miss Reeder, as "archaic and ridiculous, proving the inability For 40 years .

STIFF-BACK JOHN WASKILL IS DEAD Preserved Great Boots of Cape Breton Giant; How He Got His Nickname Glace Bay, N.S.--'Stiff Back John" McAskill is dead. He was the last surviving brother of An- gus, the Cape Breton Giant, whose feats of strength are a by- word all over Nova Scotia, and he died at the McAskill home- stead, Englishtown, on May 21 at the age of 89. Ten years younger than Argus, he preserved at the old home the great boots amd garments and other possessions of his giant bro- ther. A "wee man" himself, standing about five feet six, and weighing only 140 pounds, Joho was nevertheless a mam of grea' strength. All the McAskill boys were strong, and John, who was the bab¥ vf the family, was no ex- ception. . Writing in the Glace Bay Gaz- ette, Stuart McCawley tells how the nickname by which the young- est. brother was known came to be applied. "Some years ago John was working for the government on a bridge. The bridge was over a gully, about fifty feet deep, and John fell from the top and land- ed on his back on'a 12 by 12 pine log fifty feet below. His fellow workers thought John was killed and was surprised when they picked him up to hear him say in Gaelie, 'My back is stiff." That's why they called him 'Stiff Back John.' "John, the last of the McAskill family, is survived by a widow, a virile, splendid old lady who came from North Gut. "Johm and his wife used to tell a wonderful story of their ro- "It seems that Mrs, McAskill's folks didn't like John and refus~ ed their consent to the marriage. This interested some of the En- glishtown boys and ome evening a boat went from Englishtown to North Gut and they captured the lady of John's choice and took her from the North Gut to En- glishtown, "They landed successfully (amd fooled the North Gutters, father, family and friends), and took the bride-to-be to the McAskill home, hoping for a jublication and some fun. John was in bed; and when the Englishtown - r woke him up and told him that they had kidnapped his laay io. e he said: 'Take her away; I'm sleepy.' "The wedding was the next day and John and the kidnapped bride lived happily for well over fifty years; and now the kidnap- ped bride is all alone on the top of the Englishtown hill; the very last link in the historic Giant Mec- Askill family, a nice-looking good housekeeper, who is a staunch continuing Presbyterian; and has good Gaelic."

HENDERSON--CHAPMAN A lovely June wedding was solemnized, at the home of the bride's parents, 35 Buckingham Avenue, on Wednesday, at 4 p.m. when Helen Willena, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. J.

A blue picture hat and sand acces- sories completed her bridal out- fit.
