Emmy stayed all night with me.
After Hard and Theodore Alonza
Tipton had said goodnight and we
had enthused to each other about
the wonderful time we had, w'e made
the resolve to undress quickly and
go to sleep immediately, for the long
ride and the heavy dinner had tired
us. Os course we couldn't altogeth

fided to Emmy that I knew Hard

Yale to have such a fine chum as

In the purchase of Rubber Goods, if you are to get 100
cents for your dollar, see that the stock is FRESH—NEW
You would not buy an old box of candies, nor old butter.
It is just as essential that your Rubber Goods be fresh, for
Rubber deteriorates with age. An old Hot Water Bag, laid
one side for a long time, is bound to crack, to weaken in the
seams. Rubber rots easily.
Our stock is new; it is purchased from those manufacturers

Emmy, sleepily.
“Maybe he was," I replied. “I’ll
ask Mrs. Chamberlain; she says she’s
i known him always.”
I felt a trifle disconsolate at the
picture Emmy had drawn. Freckled
youngsters, to say the least, aren’t
soul thrilling. Yet all men have been
boys some time, and the ugly ones
grow into the best looking fellows.
I’ve heard. We girls all passed
through the pinafore period. Little
girls, however, never are so absolute-
Ily indifferent to everything and:
everybody hs little boys are. And
they scarcely ever delight in pud- | 1

agine my handsome football player '
so immaculate now, in bare feet and j
I with small brown spots all over his 1 '
face and arms and legs. It disgusts; ‘
I me the very idea.
Thinking something like this, I '
went off into dreamland, and awak-' J
ened in what seemed no time at all ■
but it really was a little after seven |
this morning. Something cold and
smelly was showering all over my I,
i face.
There was Emmy, still in the night ,

i the side of the bed, with the rose i

like that. But with her black hair,
1 long and straight, mixed up in the
j bulb of the atomizer, I couldn’t help
i but laugh. * m I
| Mamma heard the commotion and i
sticking her head in at the door, said: I
“Hurry, girls, and you can eat!
breakfast with the rest of us.”
We rushed into two gingham
. dresses of mine. Emmy’s pink and
| mine blue, and arrived in the dining
; roof as Uncle Jim started his second
’ i egg.
“Morning Emmy and Peaches,”
jhe said. “You two must have had
some outing in that loud touring
car, and with those two lean, tall
' fellows you were w’ith last night.”
“One of those young men was
• i Hard Forsythe whom you met the
• | other evening, and liked him so
5 j much,” I voiced.
“I Recognized him,” retorted my
• Uncle dryly. “And if he hangs
around here too much, I won’t keep
on liking him, so I won’t.”
Emmy and I told Mamma and him
about our marvelous chicken and
wafle dinner, and Emmy told of the
enlarged photographs of the eight
Arbrecht's which hung on the wall,
and I told of the framed coffin plate
of John Arbrecht's, and Emmy re
lated about the hen clucking on the
front porch, and the great stack of
food we had, and I spoke of the
spinning wh'eel chair I had sat on.
Emmy grew facetious at this, and
said she was glad she hadn’t sat on
it, for it would have reminded her
of Priscilla and Alden, and she might
have proposed to Alonza.
Mamma and Uncle Jim listened at
tentively, and then my Uncle, with
a merry twinkle in his eye, admitted
that when he and Mamma were our
ages there was a roadhouse in their
neighborhood which beat the Ar
brecht’s all to pieces. He said it
I served two kinds of meat besides
; chicken, and 14 preserves instead of
i seven, and 10 vegetables instead of
: five.
“And they kept the cow and the
calf on the front porch as well as
the chickens,” he enlarged.
“Be careful Jim—Be careful,’
warned Mamma.

ASKS CITY TO PAY
FOR BROKEN ARM
Miss Braswell’s Claim
Ordered Opposed,
By Council
City Attorney Lane presented to
I
the city council last night a claim of ,
Miss Lillian Braswell, a stenogra
pher, for an unnamed amount of
damages for a fractttrgd arm receiv
ed a few weeks ago when she trip
ped and fell on a steel trap door over
a water cut-off on the side walk in
front of the Americus Undertaking
Company’s headquarters on North 1 ’
Jackson street. Mr. Lane said she !
did not fix any amount, and appeared
to ask only a settlement on the basis
of justice. He informed the council, '
however, that he was sure Miss Bras- '
i well had no claim against the city, 1
I since the trap door over which she
i fell was on private property, and
that whatever claim she might justly
have was against the property own
; er. He recommended that the claim
be opposed and the council voted to
leave the matter in his hands.
I Engineer Ansley, for many years
head of the water department, who
inspected the scene of the accident,
■ told the council that the trap door
' was on private property jutting out
I into the street. He said the door had
been there for 25 years, having been-
I installed by Harris and Payne,
plumbers, that long ago, and that
i examination had proyen it to be all
1 but impossible in walking over it to
1 cause it to rise and trip a pedestrain.
! He said this was the first report of
an accident from it in the quarter .
of a century, and he did not believe
it could be properly called a faulty
piece of work or one calling for the ! '
payment of damages by the city.
How 500 Economists
Really Economize
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—Five hun
dred of the most noted economists ;
in America were in Chicago recently 1
attending the American Economic .
Association meeting. They repre
sented the top layer of the economy ■
experts in practically all of the uni
sersities and colleges in the United i
States. |
Do economists economize?/
Exactly 312 of them ate breakfast ;
at a leading hotel.
Th'ey ate $1.15 worth of ham and :
eggs apiece. ;
Exactly 402 ate lunch at the same
hotel. ;
They ate $1.50 worth of hors
d'oeuvres, etc. apiece.
Exactly sixty-four of them
“sneaked ,out" of the night’s meet
ing and took taxis to a leading musi
cal comedy at $2.75 per economist.
The professors, however, looked
economical. A composite picture of
the convention would show a man <
wearing a dark suit of modest cut,
a pallid complexion, thick lensed eye
glasses, studious wrinkles around the
eyes, and a generally detached look.
Alas, Too True!
An egg expands when it is frozen and
breaks Its shell. Apples contract so
much that a full barrel will shrink un
til the top layer is a good deal below
the brim. When the frost is drawn
out the apples assume their normal
size r.nd fill the barrel again.
To Win Success.
The talent of success is nothing I
nore than doing what you can well,
ittd doing well whatever you do with-’
>ut a thought of fame.—Longfellow.

THE KING SENDS OUT THE CALL i
’T’INKER 808 sent Major Pole Cat
* and Chief Porcupine to tell all I
of the forest dwellers of the wager;
between Mr. Weasel the Great and ,
Pika the Coney Hare. Major Pole 1
Cat called first on O’possum and
Lady Duck and the three Fox chil
dren. ‘ i
‘‘What’s that you say?’’ cried
O’possum, “You don’t mean to t?ll :
me that Pika the Cony is going to •
give that Weasel a chaijce to find ’
him?''
“Yes,’’ said Major Pole Cat, :
“that’s just what he is going to do,|
and the King wants all of the forest '
dwellers to be present and witness
the game.’’
“Quack, quack,’’ said Lady Duck, i
Jil
I he little Chickadee took the oppor
tunity to say, “How does it come
Jerry that you didn’t know about |
this wager if the King tells you
everything.”
if that Weasel would ever see me,
he would stop his hunt for the Pika
and kill me, for so many times he has
destroyed my nest.’’
“Not while the King is there,” said
Major. “He will not harm anyone.’’
“All right,” said O’possuAi, “we
will be th’ere on time to see it all.”
The first one that Chief Porky met
was Jack the Rabbit. Says'he:
“Jack, the King orders every one I
to be present to see the wager be
tween Pika and the Weasel.”
“Does the king expect me to be i
present at any festival where that I
dangerous Weasel is going to per- ■
form?” asked Jack the Rabbit. “1 j
am afraid of that fellow.”
“Do not worry, the King will not i
allow Mr. Weasel to do you any
harm.” Chief Porky journeyed on
hrough the forest and soon he came
to where Jerry the Jay was having
.m argument with a Chickadee, as to
whom the King loved best. There
was Bobby Owl and Great Horn and
Sammy Squirrel and Minnie Chip
munk and several other forest dwell
ers that had gathered to hear the ar
gument. When Chief Porky inter
rupted the conversation, every one
turned to listen. It just happened |
that Jerry the Jay was telling how
the King always told him everything
of importance before he did any one
else. At this point Porky began his
announcement.
“The King orders all of the forest
dwellers to be present to witness the
wager between Pika the Cony Hare
and Mr. Weasel the Great.”
At this moment the little Chicka
dee took the opportunity to say,
“How does it come Jerry that you
didn’t know about this wager, if the
King tells you everything.
“What is it all about?” asked
Jerry. “Tell us Chief Porky—it’s
something new.”
“You see, the King has told Mr.
Weasel that he could kill any of the
forest dwellers if he could find Pika
the Cony Hare, but if he did not find
him he was to forever let the forest
folk alon’e. Everyone should be
there.”
Jerry the/ Jay Bird arose on his
wing at once and carried the news to
every nook and crook in the forest
until everyone knew of the wager
between these creatures.

No man or woman who eats meat regu

the kidneys occasionally, says a well

which clogs the kidney pores so they

then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma

ness. constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid

I he moment you feel a dull ache in the
1 kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi

ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
