Knickerbocker Boyd, of Philadelphia. Little Miss Boyd conceived the idea of cutting out the pictures that appear in Jupce, pasting them in strips, like the films of a regular motion- picture theater, winding them con- tinuously on spools and running them through a box for the pleas- ure of herself and her playmates. This idea has spread, until chil- dren in many places utilize it. Mr. Boyd has now furnished Jupor with zens under suspicion, he having passed a mass meeting at Rye Straw on the night of the crime and heard one of the speakers declare that steps should be taken at once to repair the store build- ing. —George Bingham. A Long Walk CFEE got on a Broadway street car at the City Hall, New York. The car was pretty well crowded and he was unable to find aseat. At each corner, however, the car stopped and took on passengers. “Move forward!'’ said the conductor each time. ‘‘Plenty of room in the front of the car. Move forward!’" And McFee moved forward. The car had reached Fourteenth Street —two miles or thereabouts—before the conductor got through the crowd and up to McFee. ‘‘Fare!'’ he demanded. “Pare !'’ said McFee indignantly. ‘*Do you expect me to pay for the privilege of walking from the City Hall to Four- teenth Street?” drawings of the apparatus used by his daughter and duplicated by many other children, who look for JupGe weekly to renew their films and provide a new “*show,”” The picture to the left, called ‘Rear View,’ gives in perspective a view of the interior of the box or ‘theater’ used by Miss Boyd. There is a reel drawer, in which to keep the supply of pictures, a sliding curtain, and the manner of plac- ing the spools upon which the ‘‘films’’ are wound and unwound in the process of showing is plainly seen. The picture to the right, entitled “Front View,’’ shows the front of the little theater, on which is the sign, “Judge Movies.” The beveled opening shows one picture ina series at a time, and in effect simulates the ‘‘screen”’ of a regular moving picture. Miss Boyd keeps in her ‘‘repertoire’’ individual pictures of distinguished persons and the like, and The “Judge” Fitm ‘on the spools GOOD-BYE TILL NEXT SUMMER His Side Line **Where can I find the chief of police?” asked the stranger in Slocumville. The native pointed, ‘‘That’s him, over yander by the Palace Hotel, shining that grocery drummer's shoes.”’ Silver-tongue orators are willing to ex- change their ‘‘tongue’’ for a meal ticket. Movies Front view these are exhibited between the JuDGE Movies, with the usual request to ‘ Patient, Please,’’ as the regular pictures are changed. The lower picture shows one of Junce’s Movies as it is wound on the spools, ready for exhibition as above described. This + whole device is interesting to adults as well as tu children, though chil- dren will find the greater pleasure in its application. From the growthof the idea since it was first announced it is apparent that thousands of children will adopt it and look reg- ularly for Jupce’s motion pictures in color.
