boys, who used to dive down and swim
into the hole In the summer.
Then. as say, they got the idea Of
playing ghost and would run down the
hill in the moonlight with nothing on
but sheet or . piece Of old fish net
which waved out far out behind them.
When they got to the edge Of the bank
they would emit some sort Of a ghost
ly yell and dive down out Of sight.
Finally, when all the young girls In
the neighborhood began 10 get hys-
terics, discovered what was going on
and put a stop to II by giving two or
three Of the ringleaders a sound
thrashing and installing q family Of
beavers In the tunnel who vigorously
attacked all future intruders."
The doctor laughed heartily as he
finished his little tale and concluded
by saying:
There have been occasional rumors
Of ghost since then, know, but !
fancy that 10 the biggest mystery Car
ney-Croft ever had"
Doctor" returned seriously, there
Is q far greater mystery than that go
ing on here this very minute. That
tunnel is again occupied, by whom
do not know, but the man or men who
are down there are In league with that
Bruce woman who lives In the new
cottage, and with jerks, the stage
driver. Moreover, these people are
connected in some inexplicable way
with Miss Weston, and the Bruce
woman, who seems TO be the head and
front Of the whole thing, has written
letters to Miss Weston, and even to
me, most Of which contain vague ref.
erences to Miss Carney and threats

exclaimed the doctor. why, my dear
sir, 1t is impossible! l have known
the woman for a dozen years and she
cannot read word or write a letter."
At that moment he was summoned
hurriedly to Miss Weston's room and
was handed telegram from Mac.
Ardel which read:
Keep away from that hole and do
nothing till you get my letter. Your
life may depend on it. Wire If you
wish me to come"
The messenger was waiting and
with no thought Of the letter to which
he referred, but only to hasten the
time when some one would be with
me to whom l could talk, replied
with the single word, Come"

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

FROM the Chlcago Tr1bune.)
Don't trife with a cold,' is good
advice for prudent men and women.
1t may be vital in the case of a child.
Proper food, good ventilation, and dry,
warm clothing are the proper safe
guards against colds. II they are
maintained through the changeable
weather of autumn, winter and spring,
the chances of a surprise from ordi-
nary colds will be slight. But the Or
binary light cold will become severe
IL neglected, and a well established,
ripe cold is to the germs Of diphtheria
what honey is to the bee. The great
est menace to child life at this season
of the year is the neglected cold"
Whether 1t is a child or adult, the cold
slight or severe the very best treat.
ment that a be adopted is to give
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is
safe and sure. The great popularity
and immense sale of this preparation
has been attained by its remarkable
cures of this ailment. A cold never re-

GONE FOREVER

Ten years ago an Albany county,
Wyoming, ranchman put his initials
on a dollar bill. The next day he went
to Laramie and spent 1t with a mer-
chant. Before the year was out he got
the dollar back. Four times in six
years the dollar came back to him for
produce and three times he heard OF it
in the pockets of his neighbors. The
last time he got it back it was four
years ago. He SEN it to an eastern
mail order house. He never has seen
that dollar, and never will. That dol
lar bill will never pay any more school
or road tax for him, will never build
or brighten any of the homes of the
community. He sent it entirely out Of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.

Needing Men and Officers.

Special to The Republican.
Washington, Feb. 21.-In these
times of piping peace both the war and
navy departments are hard pressed to
find both men and officers. At Annap-
oils the staf of instructors is SO de-
pleted that it has been necessary to
press into service some of the upper
classmen to direct the studies Of the
newcomers. The war department faces
a like condition in the coast artillery
service, for which branch it a secure
neither the necessary number of men
nor officers.
Guns Lying Idle.
A large number of guns and much
expensive coast defense material is
lying idle at the present time because
the government cannot find men to
man the engines of war. For the same
reason the new %battleship Vermont is
not being fitted out. the navy depart,
ment being unable to enlist recruits
fast enough to equip the newer navy.

washington, Feb. 21.-Because OF
his close association with and friend.
ship for President Roosevelt, Washing.
ton Is wondering whether the remarks
Of Theodore P. Shonts, chairman Of the
Panama canal commission. made at
the banquet Of the Iowa society of New
York this week, set forth his own con
victions or were really inspired by the
occupant OF the White house. In the
course Of his address Mr.. Shonts, with
a special emphasis, declared:
Small Investor Suffers.
IF any government, whether nation.
a state Or municipal, permits any In.
justice to be done to corporatios sim
ply because they are corporations,
whether this injustice is the result of
proper or improper motives, the real
sufferer in the last analysis is the
small investor"
Presidents Endorsement.
Those who have perceived the note
of caution in all of the presidents
messages on this subject of the corpo-
ration, are Of the opinion that even If
Mr.. Shonts' statement was not directly
dictated by President Roosevelt, at
least his remarks have the presidents
endorsement. The administration
started out to curb certain trusts AMI
set on foot inquiries to that end. In
prosecuting these investigations the
government devoted its energies to
unmasking piratical corporations. and
these now are practically curbed and
the new laws have drawn their fangs.
Echo Of Presidents Warning.
Unfortunately the revelations made
by these inquiries have stirred up the
American people to such an extent
that at the present time an investiga-
ton undertaken by the government is
believed to be tantamount to a convic-
ton. 1t was to disabuse the public
mind Of this especial heresy that Pres
ident Roosevelt spoke SO strongly in
his last message to congress. 1t is
believed that MI. Shonts' remarks at
the New York banquet were the echo
of the presidents warning.

A New Aid Fable.

This is not a George Aid fable,
though 1T may sling some slang.
Once there was Geezer, who
sat around and cut Kindling too
small for Cook Stove purposes.
He Whitfield against Time and
FlSoergasted against his Town.
The town was No Good, he said
strictly on the Blink. Yes, it
was N. G. Why, hadn't he lived
Here since 'S4 and found that the
Place was Punky? Sure, Mike.
Look at that town over in the
next County. Grown like Jonah's
Gourd. Must be a Jonah here.
We We grown some, but I don't
see that we're knocking any par
tlcularly Big Persimmons.
That's the way this Gazaboo
knocked his tewn.
One day a Sarcastic Stranger
tloated into the Town that was
Knocked froM the burg that had
Blossomed like Jonah's Gourd.
He Heard some of the Flabber-
casting and Dropped to the stu
alton.
Look here, you," he remark
ed to the citizen who was hand
ing out the Knocks. "What do
you DO for this town? Are YOU
dolng your part to put this Burg
on the Upgrade? What's that
hefty Bunch of literature stick
ing out of your Clothes?"

That's a Mail Order Catalogue
from Chicago-a town that is a
town" replied the Geezer.
So L thought, said the i'm
pertinent Arrival Now, let me
hand you out a nice little Wad of
common sense. For the past
ten years you have been sending
your money to the Chicago Mail
Order houses Instead of spend
ing 1T among your home mer-
chants. What would have hap
pened to Chicago fifty years ago
If all the First Settlers had ship
ped their loose Coin to New York
on catalogue inducements? Why,
you q have to use Il sand dredger
now to find the Original Site of
Chicago. Now, in the Burg from
which L have just Blown in we
got over all this Bum Business
years ago. We passed Resolu-
tlons that we would trade at
home and help our own town to
Spread out so that you could
sight it on the map without using
Opera Glasses. But you and a
Bunch OF other folks in this town
nave wasted your Substance in
Rlotous Expenditures in Chicago
by mail and let the sheriff hang
out the Nothing Doing in front
OF some OF your own towns mer-
cantlie Emporiums. Look at
our IoWn and then look at yours.
What makes the Difference?"
