the nest. with an oil stove at his side
and a tea kettle Of water boiling away
on the oil stove He was like moth
er to those eggs, and it was most af-
fecting to hear him while he had the
bottle in his hands, filling it and say
ing: Now, now, dearies, don't be i'm
patient. daddy will have mudder full
of hot water in a minute, and then
mudder will cuddle dearies up again"
The eggs seemed to understand the
love Philo Gubb was showering OH
them, too. OF course an egg can't
show it's affection very well. Next to
a china door knob an e is about the
dumbest uneffusive thing there is, but
those eggs used to lie there and smile
no. not smile-they used TO lie there
and look up at-no, they didn't look
up-anyway, they used to lie there.
They used to lie there as quiet as -
brick-bats. They were just placidly
happy, as you might say. Care free,
knowing Philo would take good care
of them and protect them.
Well, one egg got broken. II was
nearly the death OF Philo, and only
the fact that there were IL left kept
him alive. He just couldn't allow him
self to die of grief when there were
IL motherless eggs depending on him.
so he braced up and tried TO hide his
sorrow, and kept the hot water bottle
warm.
The day those eggs Matched out was
the gladdest in the life of Philo Gubb.
He was a proud man, I can tell you,
He gave each one name as it
pecked it's way out. The first he
called Eeny, and although he tried
to be impartial anyone could see he
liked this eldest little the best The
next one he named Meeny, and the
next Cracky. The others, as they
came he named Feeny, Omma, Moo
cha. Poppa, Toocha, Rick, Stick. Stan
and the last of all, the baby, as you
might say, Staw. / remember how
proud he was when Uncle Ashod
Clute asked him how the eggs were
doing Philo spoke right up. Says
he:

BETZVHIE TALES
PhiLo Cub and the Auto Hen
RBy Ellis Darker BuHefI
ERS Author of Pigs is Pigs Etc. W.
ILLUSTRATED By PETER NEWELL

Philo Gubb is one of the tenderest
hearted men in Betzville. He hasn't
the style necessary to mingle in our
best society, but he has a good heart,
and when his speckled hen died after
setting on a nest of eggs for a week
Philo's heart bled with pity for the
poor motherless eggs. The very min
ute he saw the dead hen he hurried
over to Aunt Rhinocolura BetZ' and
asked If he could borrow one of her
hens, but they were all engaged in
family business Of their own just then,
and Philo sat down on the edge of
the porch and wept After he had
wept about a quart of tears he perked
up all of a sudden, and asked Aunt
Rhinocolura If she was using her hot
water bottle. When she said no, that
her neuralgia wasn't giving her much
trouble that summer, Philo just
jumped up and down for joy
AS soon as Aunt Rhinocolura gave
him the hot-water bottle he hurried
home, hippity hopping with joy, and
filed the hot-water bottle up TO the
neck, and screwed the stopper in, and
laid IL with gentle hand on top Of the
eggs. During the day the eggs did
not worry him much after that, for
the sun kept the water in the hot-wa-
ter bottle warm enough. but 1t was a
touching sight to see Philo at night.
He spent all his time at the edge of

Omma, Mocha. Poppa. Toocha-Rick.
Stick, Stan, Staw-O-U-T. all QUIT"
But the most gladdening thing TO
the hard heart of man was TO see the
way in which Fhilo helped supply a
mothers care TO those little chicks.
They seemed to sense right at first
that the hot-water bottle was the
only mother they had. and they would
run to It, chirping out their little joys
and sorrows, and Philo kept IL full
of hot water. so II would feel cosy
and comfortable TO the chicks. He
used to sneak away once in awhile
and dig a worm or two in the potato
garden, and come back and drape IL
through the handle OF the stopper of
the bottle and then stand off behind
the door and cluck like a hen does
when IL has found a worm, and then
he would smile when the chicks ran
up and grabbed the worm. When the
chicks got large enough TO venture
out a little Philo tied a string to the
hot-water bottle and dragged IL
around the yard after them.
He got so thoroughly into the no
ton that the hot-water bottle was
really a hen that sometimes he would
drag it over into his vegetable gar
den, and then shoe at IL to drive IL
out. He treated that auto-hen just
as a mother hen should be treated.
Probably he took TO 1t more because
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-01-07

he was a bachelor and lived alone.
He had less to distract his thoughts.
The hot-water bottle grew so reals
tically hen-like TO Philo that when
the chicks got old enough TO care for
themselves, and Philo had a cousin
from the city stay to dinner, he went
into his back yard and looked over
the chicks. He saw that they were
not old enough to broil yet, so he got
his ak and bounced down on the auto
hen, and chopped the stopper clean
Off 1t wasn't until Philo grabbed
what was left Of the hot-water bottle
and started to pick the feathers OF
that he realized 1t was not a real
hen.
That is why I say Il is mighty lucky
hot-water bottles don't have feath-
ers. If they did have Philo Gubb
would have gone right ahead and
cooked and eaten Aunt Rhinocolura's
and as Philo is one OF those who be-
lieve everything should be chewed to
pulp before it is swallowed. he
would have sat there at his dining
room table and have chewed his low
er jaw clean off.

came to his death as the result Of
gunshot wounds inflicted by a
weapon in the hands of Dan Ru-

Seven witnesses were examined
during the course of the inquiry,
and all we're unanimous in declar-
ing that the quarrel came up over
a card game. Rubertt, it was de-
clared, lost IS to Zelliker, and then
borrowed IS from Basta. Again
Rubertt lost and refused to show
his cards. Zelliker then grabbed
the cards, and when Rubertt made

Shots were then fired and when a

At the lake town they were told
by A. McNorris. the postmaster, j.

Morgan, a well known rancher of
that section that nothing was
known of Russell or his hotel, and
1t was suggested to them that they
had been sent up for other pur-

The police are working on the
supposition that Roberts, or Rus
sell, was trying to land the women
in a town where they would be un-
able to return, and that they would
then have been approached by an
agent who would have attempted
to induce them to enter into the
life of the underworld as way out
