One of our intellectual citizens.
Hiram Hudson had a peculiar and
puzzling experience last week. The
aforesaid gentlemen recently got a
gasoline engine. He set it up and
did all the necessary preliminary
manouvers prescribed by the ex-
pert but without results, the ma
chine would not run. Immediately
Hiraml decamped for Lancaster and
returning with an engine expert de-
manded to know what was the
matter. The expert glanced it
over casually and on looking in the
gasoline tank advised Hiram to put
some gasoline in the container as it
could not run without it. hiram
had been trying to run the engine
without gasolinel
VIM. Bruss was at Lancaster Mon

Ed Jeidy was business visitor in

It is rumored that Harvey Hurl-

recently at good prices. If Harvey
continues in selling in such large
quantities he will be able to elim1n-

A great number of our citizens
were undulY excited over their land

their titles have already been salts

disappeared down the steps.
"Oh, deari Where Is Little Girl?''
he walled, as he scurried down the
street and turned the corner.
He went on until his tired little legs
would carry him no farther, and he
sank down under hedge that sur
rounded small house. 1t was a long
time before he found courage to enter
and he did so cautiously.
Little Girl" he called softly at the
nursery door, but no little girl an
swered, and he was turning away so
discouraged, when he heard voice
calling to him from the. back OF the
room, and turning, saw his old friend,
the rocking horse.
"What are you doing here, Teddy
Bear?" the rocking horse cried, and
he rocked most sympatheticaliy as
Teddy Bear told him all his troubles.

brown bear asked him.

Bear.

horse. II am the favorite toy, and

journeys. Sunny Boy is my boys name.

"Who is Girlie Dear?" asked Teddy
Bear.
"She is the little girl next door,
replied the rocking horse, and l love
her next to Boy. She and Boy and |
understand each other perfectly, and
never have to pretend"
"What is she like?" asked the little
brown bear.
She is very slight, with long golden
curls," said the rocking horse, land
she has dimples and the dearest brown
eyes in the world, and"
But Teddy Bear, dancing on his lit
tie fat legs, interrupted him.
"It's Little Girl. it's Little Girl" he
shouted. why didn't you see at first?
Goodby, dear rocking horse, will come
back and see you later" and leaving
the rocking horse snorting with as

house and across the lawn.
Up the water pipe he clambered and
into Little Girls open window, pat

tie white bed where she was sleeping,
and he snuggled down under her chin
just as he did the first day he saw
her.
Sleepily she opened her eyes, and

MAReuERIrE's DREAM

One day Marguerite fell asleep in the
hammock. In her dreams fairy came
to her and said: Would you like to go
to fairyland?"
Eyes, 1 would" said Marguerite.
"Follow me, then" said the fairy as
she f1oated off the piazza.
Marguerite followed as swiftly as pos
sible. They went down the street till
they came to a rock The fairy hit it
three times with her wand and a door
opened. Marguerite stepped in and
found herself in long, dark hall The
fairy opened a side door and Margue-
rite saw a spacious hail. lighted by one
large ruby In the middle of the ceiling.
1t was full of dancing fairies, dressed
in loose gowns of pale blue or pink.
Their hair was in long, flowing locks of
gold with wreath of flowers around
their feet. They had large butterfly
wings that Marguerite could see
through. At the tip of each wing was
an eye of a peacock The fairy tapped
her wand on the ground and another
fairy came forth. The fairies said a
few words to each other, which Mar
guerite did not understand. Then one
said to her, Follow me-"
Marguerite did so and she came to a
large room full of closets. She went in
one of these closets and the fairy gave
her a wand with a beautiful butterfly
at the tip, a blue gown, pair of SAN
dals, some beautiful wings and a
wreath for her hair. The fairy touched
her hair and 1t became gold. Truly, she
looked gorgeous.
But just then everything vanished
and she found herself sitting on the
floor rubbing her eyes.

belong to that great rough boy? Yet
there was time even yet for Little
Girl to come before next day, when
the big man had promised to take him
away. He grew more anxious every
moment as the daylight faded and no
Little Girl came. Finally when the
lights were turned out and the toy
shop was closed, he realized that she
was not coming.
He lay very still in the little red
cart and thought, for he had very
tiny idea in his head which kept grow
ing and growing. He finally sat up
and looked around The toys were
all awake and were all talking and
moving about. Teddy Bear climbed
out of the cart and few moments
later the twinkling stars saw little
brown Teddy bear pattering down the
street, running away from the boy who
was so rough, to Little Girl, who had
loved him so tenderly.
The streets We're very still and his
paddy paws went patter. AS he turned
the corner there was a deafening roar,
a great white light that blinded him
swept past and big THING on wheels
rolled down the street with dreadful
changing of bells.
Teddy Bear was badly frightened and
scurried into dark corner till the

down the street on his tip-est toes. He
went fast and far, and leaving the tall
dark buildings behind came to pleas
ant part of the city where large houses
were surrounded by beautiful grounds
There was no telling where Little
Girl lived, so Teddy Bear began his
search at the first house, which proved
to be dark and empty. The second
housed no little people and therefore
no toys, but the third looked promising
and Teddy Bear, full of hope, climbed
up the stairs to the nursery
| Looking in he saw the floor Uttered
with toys-then looked again and
rubbed his eyes. No, there was no
mistake, it was his old enemy, the
| fire engine, in the corner, and as he
glanced at the bed, horror of horrors!
the very boy he was so afraid of.
All of a tremble, Teddy Bear stole
out, and when he was clear OF the
house, ran away as fast as he could.

DESERVED A CRACKER

III protected her master home from

through one of the front parlor win
dows, crept through the hall, passed
the bird and began opening the side
board in whihc the silver was kept.
One of them had gathered up the
costly Turkish rugs on the floor when
Polly spoke out:
''Is that you, Frank?" she asked
The burglars stopped, and Polly re-
peated the question in louder and
more imperative key. BY this time the
noise had awakened her master.
He grasped a revolver and made for
the head of the stairs, touched an cleo
tric button and lit the lights in the
hall Three men we're struggling hast

Day after day some one came and
looked at him, but he was always put
down again and the person moved on.
Months went by and the long looked for
home seemed no nearer.
One day he was feeling particularly
lonely and sad, for his friend the rock
ing horse had been taken away and he
was left alone. He must have fallen
asleep, for he opened his eyes to find
himself held close in a pair of little
arms, and to hear a dear little voice
saying: "Oh, nurse, let me get him-I
like him sol"
Teddy Bear looked up into a pair of
big brown eyes which he afterWard
found to belong to Little Girl, and he
was being held in Little Girls arms
and being snuggled close under Little
Girls chin.
Please, nurse" he heard Little Glrl
say, may 1 have him-he's so soft
and comfy" and he waited breathless-
ly for the answer.
But nurse said Grossly: mo, miss,
you have so many toys now that you
cannot play with them all, and just
leave them around. You'd soon forget
about him, so put him down, like
good girl, and come along"
Teddy Bear saw tears in Little Girls
eyes as she put him down, and he heard
her whisper as she was jerked away:
"Good by, little Teddy Bear; good by
I'll come back for you soon; wait here
for me-" and then he was left alone.
All day he waited, and the next day,
and the next, for her to come back for
him, but no little girl came. One day
as he lay in the sunlight thinking of
her and of how he wanted to belong
to her, and how he would love her, he
heard mans voice saying, How
would you like this, my boy?" and a
small boy rushed forward and picked
him up. He did not like the boy-he
was rough and had loud voice, as he
said: Gee, pop! He's fine-can he
squeak" and then gave him such a
big squeeze that poor Teddy Bears lit
tie insdes hurt terribly.
"Get him, pop, get him." the boy
cried, as he caught poor Teddy Bear
by one leg, shook him and then

How Teddy Bear
Found a New Home
A Story of Toys and Their AdUentures for
LiftleSt Juniors
BY JEAN oRosBY BRmGHAM

Once upon special time, q little
brown Teddy Bear went to live in a
special and particular toy shop.
He had just arrived from Toyland,
and in the daytime he stood between
q fire engine and rocking horse, with
above. He was rather afraid of the
fire engine, and even more so of the
cat, and was greatly relieved one morn
ing to find the fire engine gone and a
most beautiful doll in it's place.
That night-for it is only in the day
time toys are silent and still-he asked
the rocking horse what had happened
to the fire engine, and the rocking
horse told him that it had been car
ried away to little boys home,
the ambition of every toy-to be taken
played with"
Here a tin soldier spoke: Eyes, but
suppose you are used only little while
and then forgotten! 1 would rather
stay here where l can keep new and
bright than be thrown away to rust.
The rocking horse rolled his eyes and
snorted. THAT makes no difference"
he said "since for space of time, no
matter how short, one has known what
it is to be played with and loved. That
is the difference between the home toys
and ourselves"
Here all the other toys began to talk
at once and to carry on the dispute,
but Teddy Bear was silent.
The days and weeks passed, but no
one came to take Teddy Bear away.

ding down with him in her arms, went
to sleep again, while Teddy Bear lay
awake all the rest of the night from
sheer happiness.
The next afternoon she ran across
with him to Sunny Boys, who Teddy
Bear has since come to love next to
Little Girl, and all that afternoon,
and on almost every afternoon since,
Little Girl and Sunny Boy and Teddy
Bear and the rocking horse played to-
getther
And they love each other dearly, and
often travel over land and sea, never
having to pretend, for they under
stand each other perfectly.

"Well, son, we'll come back tomor-

man answered. and took the boy away.

a long time, nearly crying-poor little

door open with his little brown paw,
and was poking in an inquisitive nose,
when something with glowing yellow
eyes rose in front of him with dread
full yowl and came toward him spit
ting and scratching. Poor Teddy Bear
stopped only long enough to recognize
the calico cat, then turned and fed.

the alleged vioIators of the law in CuIlman.
 True. the cullSnan dealers have q test case pending in the courts on which they are still resting in q sort of despair. This case is due to be hled on appeal with the Alabama Supreme Court on or about April 20. when cases will be called coming up from Cullnian County. It is believed, however, that the decision of the court will be quick and peremptory in the cases.
 It will be interesting to wait and see what the Cullman saloon men are going to do about their license money paid the Probate Judge and remitted to the State Treasurer. Those living in Cullman sent up s25e for their am nual license this year. while those hv- ing in the smaller towns named paio in s20o, making in all $2.400.
 It would seem to be the proverbial breaking of the camel's back for the Cullman crowd to lose this money when they will be knocked out of their places of business. Someone humor- ously remarked that the men would have to begin fight to get an anti prohibition Legislature at the next session SO that a special act may De passed for the refund:ng of the license money. It Is agreed among lawyers that the Legislature is the only au- thority to remit the money back to the licensed proprietors.
