DAY MORNING, JANUARY 2s, 1906.

Or their brothers and sisters every one, 4
Or the brindle COW who jumped over the moon
Had seen the bears that afternoon,
They'd have quit their work and lost their pay,
And split their sides with laugh and play;
At least that's what the children say.
For TEDDY-B and TEDDY-G
Made farming hum in different Fey.
They hitched two pigs to the farmer 8 pillow,
And caught goat and showed him how
TO hold the handles and steer the crown
And make the clay turn upside down.
The farmers horses and cows and sheep
! Came rambling near to take peep.
The black bear hired them one by one
And said if their work was carefully done
He would give them each dollar day
And at the end Of the week would raise their pay
The horses were told to use their legs

The bull looked up and winked his eye
And said, AL right I'd like to try;
Climb over the fence; it ism t high."
The bears got over; they rued the day;
The moment they landed, the bull made hay;
He tossed the bears in the sky so high,
They didn't come down till by and by.
He chased them to an old straw stack,
And over the top and down the back,
And round and round and up the side.
And down again without guide,
Till they found hole where both could hide.
Then TEDDY-G made lasso long
With piece Of rope both stout and strong,
And he brought that bull to his knees quick
He couldn It hook and he eoulAn' t kick;
His ears looked sad; his eyes looked sick;
He simply beloved with all his might:

Then .TEDDY-B said: 1T wasn't strange
If bulls and bears in stock exchange )
Had ups and downs and puts and calls
And skyward jumps and headlong falls;
But EARNINGS what re learning now
And if you'll behave we'll show you how"
The bull was hitched up to the cart

And all hands quit and went their way.
The bears went round to the house to stay,
To wash their hands and brush their hair,
And get some newer clothes to wear,
And see the folks and get some meat,
A pumpkin pie and Jellies sweet,
And other things that farmers eat.

And dreamt that they were farmers now,
And had the trade and knew the trick

why Roads should BE ImDrOyed,

There are many striking examples Of
the value of good roads. Wherever
roads have been permanently improved
it is found that there has been Il very
great Increase in value of the adjacent
property, says Good Roads Magazine.
Among examples of this sort is that Of
Jackson, Tenn. From figures recently
published 1t is shown that since 1900
the city has increased 5000 in popula-
ton. The roads We're improved through
issuing bonds TO start with, and they
have advertised the city so much that
families are constantly coming in from
adjoining counties. with the result that
land values have increased in some
cases from 20 to 100 per cent Property
In the city has also greatly increased
in value.

the body into his dray and wheeled it

Forrest broke out into the most hOr-

Another monarch of Europe who is
fond Of dining well is King Leopold of
Belgium. He, too, is partial to the
French and their ways of cooking, and,
though his business is supposed to be

his time in Paris, where he finds life
more exciting than in his own capital.
The king is noted for his eccentricities,
and he likes to kill time in the COM

Origin OF Fire in Walker Block
Is Cause Of Much Speculation

The origin Of the fire in the new
Walker block yesterday morning still
remains a deep mystery, Many theor-
les have been advanced but not one
has yet been generally accepted.
The members of the fire department
are still inclined to think that the fire
originated in the basement in the rear

that there are many circumstances
which tend to disproye this theory
Most notable is the fact that. the base

it is believed that considerable more
damage would have been done.
