ere in ‘ay for which mn we two wise — Bear Fight in Philadelphia A LITTLE poodle dog that was running along ahead of a stately dame on Chestnut street yesterday afternoon was hardly higger than a rat, but he was as pugnacious nd spunky as a bulldog. Between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets he attracted his mis- tress’s attention by a few short chirping bar! und a tug on the chain that held him in. Look- ing in the direction of the dog’s pointed nose, : mistress saw a street faker operating me- anical tops on the sidewalk. One of these " a dancing bear, about six inches high, which, when wound up, would work its way ull over the pavement. The antics of the imi- tation animal amazed the bred dog, who after gazing at it in anger for a moment sud- denly pulled the chain from his mistress’s hand and went for bruin. A few moments of biting and tearing left nothing but the bat- tered mechanism on the sidewalk. Both the inker and the woman were powerless to in- fere, and everybody enjoyed the “fight” so that they would not interfere, conse- quently the demolition of the bear was ef- fected in a short time. When a policeman irrived he found a satisfied faker with more than twice the price of the bear added to his wealth; a flushed woman, a victorious poodle und a dispersing crowd of smiling men and hoys.—Philadelphia Record.

It prevents flame being carried out along the main valves to burn or pit them, and cause them to leak compression. It permits the cyl- inders, being cooler, to take in a larger char} and enables the charge to do its full work freely and unhampered. And here is an equally important fact : while Franklin cylinders do not over-heat, they also do not under-heat. A certain degree of con- stant heat is necessary for the best work in a gas-motor cylinder, Franklin direct air-cooling Creates exactly the most efficient working tem- perature in the cylinder, while the Franklin auxiliary exhaust maintains this, temperature constantly. 4-cylinder Runabout, Type G Fourcylinder Light Touring-car.
