Rastus had the most panied and re-
vengeful look on his face l ever saw,
and he looked at Pa as though he
was to blame.
Pa had one of the men get the medi-

powders in tin cup, but before he
could put in the water Rastus had
swallowed the powder from the white
and blue papers and reached for a
washbasin of water, and before Pa
could prevent Rastus from drinking
it on top of those powders he had
swallowed every drop of the water,
and the commotion inside of him must
have been awful, for he frothed at the
mouth and the bubbles came out Of his
nose, and he rolled over and yelled
like a man with govt, and he seemed
to swell up, and Pa looked on as
though he had case on his hands that
he couldn't diagnose, while Rastus' boy

eyes as though he were saying his

welt was invited to ride behind them
and as Mr.. Knox was driving away
from the White House the group of
newspaper men fell to specializing as
to why one of them had not had his
wits about him enough to ask the
names of the horses. One of the party
said their names were Highball and
Siphon. A serious minded chap there
upon wrote a story about it and sent
it to his paper. When it appeared
Knox was very angry and the upshot
of it was retraction by the news
paper.
Another story that angered Knox
was to the effect that he had told the
late Senator Hoar that of course he
had quit the employ of the Carnegie
Steel Company before accepting Pres-
dent McKinley's offer of the attorney
generalship. He regarded it as an insult
to Mckinley to imply that he would
appoint a man who would consider it
necessary to give assurance that he
had observed the ethics of the profes-
sion.
Senator Knox bought his magnii-
cent home in Washington from Mrs
G. w. Childs. 1t is one of the finest

Finally Mr.. Hagenbach said to me:
"Hennery, guess your Pa has got

we better haul the cage and the goril-
las that have not had any tobacco to
camp, and in day or two we will all
come out here and find your fathers

And then we all went to camp, and
the poor gorillas just remained list
they knew Rastus and his boy were
dead. We fed them everything we
could spare, but they would not eat,
and by watching them we found there
was case of jealousy in the cage, as

had twisted out of grass.
The whole camp came to attention
and Pa scratched match on Rastos

when he got near enough he said:

Pa got off his zebra, opened the

USEFULNESS OF AERIAL
CRAFT IN TIME OF
WAR MAY BE TESTED

SAN PEDRO, Dec. 14.-If the citizens
here who are interesting themselves
in the scheme of Dick Ferris to have
one of the days of the Aviation week
in January set apart to test the use
fulness of aerial craft in time of war
are able to carry out their plans, prob
ably the most interesting of all the
weeks attractions will bring thousands
of people here the last night of the
show.
The plans include the assembling
here of two or three of the aeroplanes
and two or three of the United States
war vessels. From hidden spot III
San Pedro hill the flying machines will
Sail forth under cover of darkness.
From the harbor of Los Angeles the
revenue cutter Perry and probably
some torpedo boat destroyers or ~
cruiser will undertake to pick them off
by the aid of their powerful search
lights. If the aeroplanes are success
full a bomb will be dropped onto the
deck of one of the boats. This will, of
course, not cause an explosion. as 1t
will not be loaded, but the test will
have been made and a most spectac-
ular entertainment provided for the
spectators who will line the bluffs
overlooking the harbor.
The citizens here are getting enthu-
siastic over the scheme, and it is be-
lieved that if the affair can be ar
ranged big boost will be given Los
Angeles harbor and this section.
