D. A. R.
Hold Their Regular Monthly
Meeting
And Transact Some Import.
ant Business

The regular meeting OF Kokosing
Chapter of the Daughters Of the Amer.
lean Revolution was held on Wednes-
day evening at the home OF Mrs.
Thomas d. Simpson on East Chest
nut street. The meetings are held
only during the winter months and
for this reason great deal Of work
is necessary at each one to make ar
rangements and form program for
the work to be done. About fifteen
ladies were present on Wednesday
evening to take part In the work and
to enjoy the elaborate tea which was
given with Mrs. Simpson as hostess
assisted by her sister, Mrs. Molen.
Each guests place at the table was
marked with beautiful hand-painted
place card painted by Mrs. Molen.
The business meeting opened with
the roll call after which minutes Of
the last meeting were read. Mrs. A.
P. Tarr read very interesting paper
which gave the standing of the D. A.
r. with other like organizations
and the result was very pleasing to
all of the members present.
Mrs. William Cooper gave an inter-
esting and detailed report of the pro-
ceedings of tht d. A. r. convention
which was held in Springfield, Ohio,
on Oct 26 and 81. The report showed
that the organization is advancing in
very rapid manner in all of its de-
partments, which is very encouraging
news.
Another matter brought before the
meeting was that of looking up the
graves of the Revolutionary veterans
located in Knox county. 1t is the aim
of the local chapter to locate all OF
these graves and mark them for the
reason that all respect and honor is
due the men who faced such perils
and hardships in those colonial days
of oppression. Any persons knowing
the location of graves of Revolution
ary veterans will receive the heartiest
of thanks If they will communicate
the information to Mrs. FredericB
Cooper of East Gambler street.
The general work of the d. A. R
is to form children's clubs for the
purpose of teaching them patriotism
and to bring them up with the feel
ing that must have inspired the men
who fought in the Revolutionary war
1t was decided to hold the next
meeting of the chapter at the home Of
Mrs. James Israel of East Gambler
street on January 18th.

saw that Bedelia had love that
would overcome all obstacles, and he
hadn't the heart to close the hole
in the pen, and as the days and
months went by, and Bedelia grew
and grew, she naturally had to have
her growth in relation to the size of
that hole, and Rickshaw fed her so
well that she became one of the heav-
lest weight pigs he had ever seen, but
the weight had to run to length be-
cause Bedelia couldn't be any bigger
around than that hole in the pen. The
result was that the first thing Rick
shaw knew, Bedelia was 40 feet long.
and had waist and chest measure Of
exactly ~ inches. She was so long
that she could put her head on his
knee in the boat-house, while her tail
was wagging with JOY in the pen, 40
feet up the river bank.

,boat-house, and was asleep when the
cloud burst came, about a. m. The
first thing ne knew was the rocking
of the boat-house. and he sprang to
the deck to Jump ashore, for if the
house-boat ever broke loose and
dashed itself over the dam he would
have been drowned. But he was too
late. Already the cable had parted.
and Rickshaw gave himself up for
lost. when, with squeal, Bedelia
made leap and grabbed the main
mast in her teeth. The current car
ried the boat on, but more slowly.
and then Rickshaw noticed that Be-
della had not come entirely aboard
her tail was wrapped around one Of
the trees 20 feet up the bank.
The force Of the current was ter
rife, but Bedelia held on. The
strain on Bedelia was awful. but she
held on. Eighty feet, 100 feet, 200
feet. the river bore the houseboat
down stream, and then Bedelia's body
refused to stretch any more. Would
she break? But no! The housepoat
swung slowly shoreward, touched the
bank, and Rickshaw sprang ashore
and tied to tree. Then he gathered
up Bedelia. Poor, faithful little pig
she was stretched into length Of
200 feet and one inch through.
Rickshaw Phipps walked to town
and borrowed hose reel and reeled
the 200 feet of Bedelia on it. and
as he did so she smiled lovingly at
him. 1t was her last smile. On the
road to town she lapsed into uncon-
seriousness, and DR.. Tropp could do
nothing for her. He said her consti-
tuition had been stretched out too
long and thin.
