dressed up as a ghost and scared old
Elder Cummings SO badly that he
jumped into a well. where he nearly
drowned before he was rescued by the
Joker and hired man. On later oc-
casion he surreptitiously placed ipe-
cac in pumpkin pies served at a
church social and gave all the local
doctors a busy half hour.
But these efforts lacked novelty and
when Bert made his first trip to New
York on the fall excursion he kept an
eye open for ideas. He was in par
ticularly receptive frame of mind one
afternoon when he stopped in front of
Broadway shop where a tempting
array of cameras. sporting goods and
monographs were exhibited. Within.
salesman was explaining the work
ings of a talking machine to a pros
pective customer. At that moment
the longed for idea flashed into Bert's
mind.
81 don't suppose ye've got one o.
them contrivances thatll hoot like an
owl, have ye?' he inquired of the
salesman.
"Well, no, don't believe we have"
gasped the astonished clerk, but
we've got a fine record of a bears
howls."
"Sho, ye don't say!" exclaimed Bert,
manlfesting great delight. Now, come
to think ont, figger that'll fill the bill
better'n an owl-that is, il it's a real,
genewine bar holler."
Its genuine all right" laughed the
salesman. THE company sent a man
up to the Bronx Zoo last spring when
| the animals were pairing off and he
got fine record of a disappointed she
bear. I'll just try it out for you and
maybe you'll recognize some Of the
blood-curdling love notes.
! Bert fairly quivered from sheer de-
| light when, a moment later, the wax
cylinder began to revolve and fierce
! wailings came belching through the
| funnel of the machine. 1t was the
most realistic thing in the way of
making bear calls he had ever heard
outside the forest at home, and when
| the instrument had been explained to
him he paid the price and lugged the
precious burden to his lodging house,
where he took into his confidence
| t'Shorty" Stebbins, bosom friend and
companion on the trip.
1t so happened Fatty" Bates, a pal
of both, was to be married shortly
after their return to Miss Becky Mann,
the village belle, and it was an open
secret that Fatty was in mortal fear
that Bert would play some unholy joke
at his wedding. 1t also happened that
roaming the mountain at the foot OF
which young Bates was to begin house
keeping with his bride in modest
cottage was an ugly old bear, known
as Sly, because no one had been able
| to capture him.
| For some reason unknown to man
| but perfectly familiar to bears, Sly had
been ostracized by his kind and had
spent the summer bowling dismally
for a mate.
"Becky's turrble afraid of that ere
bar" explained Bert in telling
;"Shorty" of his plan, ''an Fatty amt
overanxious to meet him, for he hain't

Tea on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in a report recently
made by a large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to its American Gus
toners. incidentally it indicates that
the United states is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living. The re-
port says: owing to the rapidly in
creasing cost OF living in Japan labor
costs more. and in consequence cul-
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly.
and less care and skill are expended
In picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that of sea-
sons prior to the war. and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the
excellence of former years. New

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe TO use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity OF
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-12-13

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it Is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength thap other makes.

together to eat some apples, but little
Simeon was missing. He had been
seen a few minutes previously. being
rocked in swing outside the house BY

defendant. Finally Johnson came TO
the house. He told Mrs. Wharton that
he had not seen the child. His shirt
bore blood and dirt stains. The mother
asked johnson TO look for the child
and he went of with japanese. The
japanese wanted to go In the direction

another direction.

bered body of the child was located.
The police and DR.. Wood exterred the

largo and small affairs of state, yet
Heyer hesitated TO differ when he be
lieved that to difier was right.
Therefore TO get another side of the
ase II Is instructive to read what is
said by the Washington correspondent
Of one of the leading papers of Mir.
Hale's state. II should be remember.
ed that Hale dared to jeopardlze his
seat in the Senate by his consistent
but very unpopular attitude during the
Spanish.American war. He did as he
believed was right and let his re.elec.
ton to the Senate take care of itself.
Consequently there must be courage
in the man, If Golfers cannot see vir.
tue.
This is the way the journal of his
State sizes up the situation. The
Washington correspondent OF the Ken.
nebeo Journal, of Augusta, Me,
writes:
"As big n committee victory as Sen.
ator Hale has scored for some time oc.
CURED last week In the Senate Com.
mittee on Philippines, where he and
Senator Lodge, the chairman, had a
| friendly contest to determine which
should have majority of the commit.
tee on his side. As is already well
known Mr.. Hale won handsomely. The
eight Republican Senators of the Phil.
ippines Committee are Lodge, Mass. !;
Hale. Maine; Beveridge, Indiana; Bur.
rows, Michigan; Long, Kansas; Dick,
Ohio Nixon, Nevada: and Brandegee
Connecticut. When the final vote was
taken the only Republican Senators
Mr. Lodge found voting with him were
Beve ridge and Long. The others were
in list with Mr.. Hale.
1.-THE fight was a prolonged one. al
though entirely friendly between Mr.
Lodge and Mr.. Hale. Massachusetts,
Republicans are friendly to some tar

of the Maine Republicans. Senator
Hale has all along argued that Il wal
