Julius WetzIer Sells
Mercantile Business

Julius Wetzler, who has been
IN the mercantile business in this
place for several years, has sold
out his entire stock of general
merchandise to A. F. Witzel, a
well-knOwn business man of Gal
lup. N. M. The property is to be
turned over to Mr.. Witzel on
October first. Mr.. Wetzler has
been fairly successful in the store
business here, but OF late years
he has become largely interested
in the the sheep and cattle bust
ness IN this county which requires
a great deal of his attention.
A few years ago Mr.. Wetzler
built a modernly equipped sur
burban reidence in Los Angeles
where his family now reside per-
manently.
His reason for disposing of the
store business is that he can be
free to devote more time to out
side affairs and to spend more
time at his Los Angeles home.
We are informed that S. Mey-
erhoff, the efficient clerk who has
been with Mr.. Wetzler for several
months, is to be an equal pal t.
ner in the new firm and will have
charge of the business here, as
Mr.. Witzel has large business in
terests in Gallup that will Occu-
py his personal attention there.
Mr.. Meyerhoff states that it is
their intention to increase the
stock here, but to discontinue re-
failing liquors and to carry on
an exclusive wholesale business
in that line. Mr.. Witzel is the
proprietor OF the Gallup ice plant
and they propose to keep a con-
stant supply of ice on hand here
during the warm season. Per
haps cooling room and ice stor-
age will be one of the added fea-
lures of the new institution. The
stock is to be taken over by the
new firm at invoice figures and
will probably amount to within
the neighborhood of $4,000.

A Shower of Fishes

clouds or not, is the question, the
solution of which is puzzling
some of the good people of Snow
flake. On last Saturday after
noon at the conclusion of a hard
shower, Mrs. A. S. Fish, who is
the operator in charge OF the
government telegraph office,
Hello Girl" and postmistress
at that place, was greatly aston
ished on looking out of her office
window to see several small fish
wiggling around on the bare
ground and at some considerable
distance from a running stream
of water. To make dOubly sure
that they were real fish Mrs. Fish
went out and picked up five Of
the little fellows, which were ap.
parentlv unhurt and very much
alive, but very anxious to get
back to their native clement
The lady put them in a tub OF
rain water where they are still
alive and may be seen. Two OF
them were about five inches IN
length and resembled carp; the
Others were smaller and were a
different kind of fish The fish
were found on the top OF a grav-
elly knoll around which an lrrl-
eating ditch was cut. The water
in the ditch is taken from Silver
Creek in which the same kind OF
fish are found and it is barely
possible that the fish threaded
their way up stream through the
little rivulets that ran down the
hillside during the heavy rain
and that when the shower ceaS-
ed the rivuletS ceased almost
simultaneously, leaving the ven
ruresome little fish high and dry
on the bare ground.
This theory is not endorsed by
all, as some think the fish would
follow the receding water to the
bitches. However it may be the
fish were found by several of the
townfolk other than the lady
named and will substantiate the
statement that they were found
scattered over the ground in that
locality Immediately after the
ram. Will some one kindly ex-
plain how they came there?
We have heard of fishes coming
down with rain at sea, which
does not seem so very strange as
they might have been drawn up
into the clouds by water spouts
that some times occur on the
ocean, but the same reason
would hardly apply in this case.

BY HELENA DAVIS.

Marie was ten, her brother Jack was
eight and little Katie was seven. They
were jolly trio of sisters and brother
and played all day together without spats
or ugly temper, for they loved each
other as sisters and brothers should.
One of their favorite games was play
ing Going to the moon" And they al
ways went in an airship, sailing through
the clouds, past the stars where they
sometimes stopped off to visit with the
Starites, the "Starites" being the in
habitants of the stars.
''shnll we play going to the moon this
morningT' asked Jack, as the three fn-
ished their breakfast and ran ont into
the big back yard-the childrens own
dominion.
"oh, yes, let's go to the moon." cried
Katie, clapping her hands. 1t had been
quite awhile since they had visited the
moon, and Katie loved the excitement Of
such Journey.
''All right let's fix the stars" ac-
quiesced Marie. Then they all three ran
TO the big porch and brought to the yard
three big porch chairs. These they
placed about beneath the trees. Here's
Mars, said Jack, placing his chair in a
grassy, shady spot. And here's Venus =
said Katie, naming her chair. And here's
Jupiter" laughed Marie. You see, I've
got the greatest star Of ALL" (Thelr
mama had taught them the names and
sizes of the heavenly bodies, and at each
game of going to the moon they visited
different planets)

stood in deep meditation. why not play
that we first cross the continent on a
tally-hoY' she asked.
Jack and Katie both laughed and
clapped their hands. Yes. l just love
a tally-ho," exclaimed Katie. Then, her
face becoming serious, she asked: But
what's-what's a continent, sister? Is
it like anything l ever sawY'
ITS a big body of land" informed
Marie. Its surrounded-or nearly So

ticipation. What journey, indeedl And

Eyes. we can either cross North Ameri-

choose" said Marie. She was a bit
proud-and justly so-of her knowledge
of geography.

asked Jack who was always intensely in
terested in the scenery they were travel
ing through.
Wei, since we live in North Ameri-
ca-and know how 1t Iooks-suppose we
go across South America" said Marie.
"Yes, I'd like, that very much" de-
clared Katie. "And let's hurry. or we'll
be too late for the tally-ho."

BY MAUD WALKER.

Bearville was n delightful place stu
ated at the foot OF lovely mountain.
Right through the streets OF Bearville
flowed q most beautiful mountain stream
filed with trout which the inhabitants
of Bearville caught with hook and line
for their breakfasts
As the name would signify. Bearyille
was a little city of bears. But were you
to visit the town you would find 1t built
of the coolest little cottages your eyes
ever fell upon. The especial kind of bears
that settled here and builded the town
of Bearville does not wander over the
face Of the earth, and those Of the read-
ers who would see bears that know how
to live like people must visit this To-
cality-this peculiar and interesting vii
lage-to do so.
And the way the bears of Bearville
talked would astonish any one not accus-
toned to talking bears. Indeed, they had
mastered the English language sufficient
ly to carry on the most interesting con-
versations and their business was con-
Quoted Just like that of two-legged folk.
The mayor-or "Chief Bear as he was
called in Bearville-was a very knowing
old fellow, indeed. and his wife and daugh-
ter and small son were courted by the best
bears Of the town, the daughter being
the belle Of the younger set In society
fOh. yes. OF course the bears Of Bearville
had their grades of society just as do the
two-legged folk.
Now, the name OF the Mayor-or Chief
Bear-was Sharpnose. He was always ad-
dressed as Your honor, the Chief" And
his wife was the honorable Mrs. Sharp
nose; their daughter was Miss Floosy
Sharpnose and their son was Master Cute
Sharpnose.
Across the street from the Sharpnoses
lived lady bear by the name of Soft
fur. She was a wealthy widow with an
only son, a young bear just reaching his
majority. 1t was the wish of the Sharp
noses and Mrs. Softfur TO make a match
between Mrs. Softfur's son-by name
Bruno-and Miss Floosy Shsrpnose. And
the young bears were not aTerse TO each
other. On many a moonlight night did
the young and gallant Bruno Softfur take
his guitar and station himself beneath
Miss Floosy's window swhere he would
play the most heart-rending airs in ac-
compartment to some well-srng ditty
composed by himself. And Miss Floosy
would peep from her yine-covered window
with a smile, tossing to her gallant ad
mirer a rose which she had been wearing
over her ear. And so did the friendship
between the Sharpnoses and the Softfurs
strengthen and knit stronger and stronger
with each visit of the love-lorn Bruno to
the window of Miss Floosy.
Now, in Bearville there were some very
naughty little boy-bears, for all the world
like the naughty boys among the or
dinary two-legged folk. These wayward
cubs would resort to many unruly tricks
| to torment their neighbors and towns
bears. One day, couple of these mis-
| chievous cubs set out to ''have fun -
And their fun consisted in ringing door
| bells and tapping on window panes Then,
before the dwellers of the houses could
possibly reach the doors to respond to
the ring the cubs would run away, hid
ing behind some convenient shrub or the

street corner. laughing softly as they
watched the questioning faces Of house
maids or lady bears that peered forth
from the doors.
And It so happened that they went on
the steps of the house of Mrs. Softfur,
just as the honorable Mrs. Sharpnose set
out from her own house to make some So
cial calls. The naughty cubs rang the
bell of the Softfurs, then scampered away,
hiding behind a thick clump of shrub
berry in the yard. Mrs. Softfur herself
opened the door to find no one there.
She knew instantly that some mischievous
cubs had rung the bell, so she turned to
her house maid, saying: Betty, please
go to the laundry where Perkie Is doing
the family washing and bring a pitcher
Of warm suds up here. When those cubs
ring again-which they are sure to do
within a few minutes-you shall pour the
suds down all over them. You may sta
tion yourself at my chamber window up
stairs, which overlooks the front.door
steps, and as soon as you hear the bell
ring throw the water down as quickly as
you can"
Betty, stupid sort of housemaid bear,
did as she was ordered: but had she pos
sessed the slightest bit of good sense
lot OF trouble would have been avoided.
She stationed herself by her mistress

How Family Feud Started in BearVille

to ruin him in the coming election; want
ed to have her own son, Bruno. made
Chief Bear of the city She had thought
to place the honorable wife of the Chief
Bear in most ludicrous and humlliating
light. Who might not have been passing
at the moment when the water was
poured over the head of the honorable
Mrs. Sharpnose? Suppose some Of their en-
vious enemies had been in the street at the
moment! Horriblei The honorable Mrs.
Sharpnose could never have held her head
up after being seen In such plight! But,
thanks to her lucky stars, there had been
no witnesses to behold the wretched lady
bears pitiable condition.
That evening the Chief Bear called into
consultation several of his warmest
friends and lay the matter before them.
committee was appointed to call upon
Mrs. Softfur and demand public apology
from her, or In the event of her refusing
to grant it, to be told that she and her
son should be fought by the Sharpnoses
and their kin SO long as Bearville should
last.
Mrs. softfuf was dumbfounded when
told that her friend had met with such
treatment at the hands of her stupid
servant. But in vain did Mrs. Softfur
protest that 1t had been an accident; and
In vain did she tell the committee that
she had been annoyed by some mischlev-
Gus cubs, and that she thought it was
they who were ringing at her bell And
she explained just how the water came
to be poured over the head of her friend,
the honorable Mrs. Sharpnose. To all of
which the committee shook their heads,
saying: You must make public state
ment that you did this thing-or had
your servant to do it-and also make an
humble apology"
Then 1t was Mrs. Softfur's turn to get
angry. She declared she would do no
such thing as plead guilty to an offense
which she did not commit. She further
more declared that since the committee
at the instigation of the Sharpnoses-
had seen fit to insult her by refusing to
accept her word as truth, and to allow
her to explain, and to express her sim
cerest regrets that so grave an accident
should have happened to a friend, and
that on her own doorstep, she would
herself demand of the Sharpnoses an ex-
PLANTATION of their strange resentment
towards, her, and an apology from them
for having sent to her committee so
wanting in courtesy and good breeding.
Well, and so the war between the
sharpnoses and the Softfurs waged. A
regular bear feud was on, and the vii
lage became divided into factions. In
deed, so strong ran the feelings between
the two factions that blood was shed
several times. But no one was seriously
hurt, though threats against life were
made. And the matter was really assum-
ing a grave aspect.
But the two who suffered the most
were Miss Floosy and her lover, the gal
liant Bruno. They were forbidden by
their irate parents to see each other,
and the two sadly pined away.
Just how much more serious the mat
ter might have become is not known, had
1t not been stopped just when it was.
Little Cute Sharpnose was playing about
in his big play ground, back of his own
home, when one day he overheard two
cubs talking. He listened to their con-
