Each InStallment a COMPLETE STORY
VII. The Camp Moves

)INKEe nd trouble at the spring that day
For he fell asleep and there he lay
IN the big fat stone all afternoon
And dreamed he was in a big balloon
And to keep it up he threw out sand
And everything he had on hand
Then took of his shoes and let them fly
)ut on the clouds up in the sky.
They hit the bear who was proving round
And the growl he gave made a shivery
sound
Which scared an owl and a, squirrel or two
and frightened Dinkey through and
through.
n his dream he thought that his balloon
Had run broadside into the moon
s.nd knocked him out and when he fell
lie thought he burst just like shell
And the growing noise made by the bear
fust seemed to fit for it happened there.
Twas then his eyes that bears eyes met
And he didn't wait his shoes to get
But made his heels just sweep the ground
Till he reached the camp all safe and sound.
AT camp around the fire that night
they each had stories to delight:
How Dutchy was locked from ten till four
With naught to eat in the school-house
store;
How Jappy minded the camp all day
While the other three were far away;
How Dinkey made that bear feel sick
As he jumped and ran for camp so quick;
How Domino with workman's tools
Pretended he was mending schools;
But all agreed that for his size
Mufles that day should win the prize
For he had used his eyes of blue
On the kidnappers and made them do
All kinds of tricks on feet and head,
The things that Domino had said.
AT sunrise on the following morn
Captain Dinkey blew the wake-up horn;
For Domino at night had said,
Before the boys turned in to bed,
That the camp would move the following
day
And travel twenty miles away
To little village from where he had
A letter written by lad
Who had mystery of kind quite new
Which must be solved within day or two

i hung horseshoe Oh Tie door,
And sister four-leaf clover wore.
And rabbits foot always kept,
And on wedding cake my sister slept,
And lots of other things we've done
But all proved useless, every one
The Prince with Muffles on his knee
Had read the letter to the other three
While Muffles meowed and seemed to say,
Get busy boys and get away
AS they passed the school next day at nine,
The children out in front in line,
Gave hearty cheers to Domino
While two little girls came from the row
And handed the Prince sweet bouquet
As he pulled the reins of his dapple gray
To see the crowd and to doff his hat
And to say good-by for himself and cat.
Dutchy and Jap and Dinkey Dadd
Didn't cheer bit but they were glad
To leave that school for evermore
Because of the trouble the day before.
Your yesterday" said Domino,
SIS back ten thousand miles or so;
Don't load the morning of today
With griefs turn of the earth away.
Come cheer the boys; forgive; forget;
The world has loads of sunshine yet"
Then Dinkey led with a rousing yell
And blew his horn and rang his bell
And the other two seemed to explode
As off they drove down the country road
THEY camped that night in deep ravine,
The prettiest spot that was ever seen,
Far in the woods mile or more
From the boy and girl and their village
store.
They chopped down trees and a wigwam
built
Of evergreens and Gypsy quilt
All hung on poles and twined about
With bark and rope woven in and OUT
A place for Dutchy and the little Jap
To rest from work and have their nap.
DINKEY fixed up with box and rug
A nook for Muffles soft and snug
High on stump with lookout view
Where he could with his eyes of blue
Command the path and guard from harm
By ringing the bell to give alarm.
The flag they hoisted on pole
And on tree UP on knoll
Their lantern hung to give some light
All roundabout throughout the night

Schools Closed Until Oct. 81.

Oct. 81, owing TO the prevalence OF

dom therefore that every endeavor be
made by the general cooperation OF the
community TO stamp out this disease
before winter sets In and some family
perhaps is called upon to mourn.
There is much that we can do. All
persons having the care OF children
should inform themselves as TO the
nature of the disease symptoms,
contagious nature, treatment, preven-

with especial care. All suspected

Every case should be segregated dur
ing the contagious period. Parents
should guard children agant danger
Of exposures by keeping them at home
as much as possible.
But most important of all perhaps,

ment.
When the present banking law went
into effect in 1889. there were 80 state
banks. transacting an aggregate busi-
ness OF $39,000,000 According to the
last bulletin issued by the commits
sioner of banking for 1910, there are
now 3S7 banks and five trust COM
panies, with total footings of $500, ,0Oo.-
900, constituting gain of 800 per cent
in point of number since 1889, while
the volume Of business transacted has
increased over 600 per cent.
Since 1889 the increase in deposits
amounts to the enormous sum OF $780,
100000. For the same period loans
have increased 5000, ZOO. 900, and there
has been added to banking capital
s17,000000. and by additions to sur
plus s10,000,000.
A large part OF this increase has
occurred since the year 1900, deposits
showing a gain of $130,0O0,0OO, capital
stock $1O.O00,OOO and surplus fund $S.
100000.
IN the ten years ending Dec. 81,
1909. the number Of depositors in
state banks increased from 306 900 to

the state of $7,49S.11, or $10.16 per
examination, a decrease In actual cost
to the state per examination of 81 per

WASHINGTON, d. G., June %.
Although the insurgents and the
democrats in the senate protested
against the acceptance Of the
house postal savings bank bill, a
test vote today indicates that
Taft's "big stick" methods have
forced enough regulars into sline
to insure the adoption of the
measure.
The insurgents and democrats
will make hard fight against the
adoption of the bill, but it is ex-
pected that 1t will be forced

The people were well satisfied

one was satisfied.
In the early days of his admin

Washington had his detractors
and few men have had to meet a
steadier fire of criticism than
Roosevelt, but each one of these
men had behind him large body

would be difficult to find any
such group behind Mr.. Taft.
The plain fact is that the coun-
try knew next to nothing at all
about the REAL Mr.. Taft until
after his election.
What, then, is the REAL Mr..
Taft as he is coming to be known? ?
All his life long Mr.. Taft has
been impressing the men he met
with the charm of his personality,

than to the people. Up to the

ING TO LOCATE MISSING
$25, 900.
PORTLAND, June 22.-Fol-
lowing the confession of Jesse p.
Webb that he murdered William
A. Johnson, the police today are
working to ascertain what became
of the $4,000 which Johnson Sc
cured by the sale of his farm near
Renton, WASH, several months
ago.
With the exception of $1,000
fcund in the stocking of Mrs. Bert
". Kersh, all the money has dis
appeared.
The police suspect that johnson
was lured to Portland from Sso-
kane for the purpose of robbery,
and that Webb and his female
com panion had deliberated on the
MaIter before she came to Port
land with Jot nson.
Detectives are not satisfied
with Webb's plea of self-defense.
Webb said that he and johnson
fought over Mrs. Kersh, that
johnson drew a slungshot from
his pocket and struck at Webb,
and that Webb, being the strong
er, took the weapon away from
him and beat Johnson to death.
The police believe that robbery
and not jealousy was the motive.
They declare that Webb and the
woman planned the robbery, just
as they planned for the disposal
of the body, as Webb stated in his
lconfession.
In Jail today Mrs. Kersh con-
tinued to tell conflicting stories OF
her actions with both Webb and
Johnson.
She said that Johnson spent
money lavishly on her, but the DO
lice assert that he could not have
possibly expended $4,000 in six
months, If her stories of the man
ner in which Johnson spent his
money and lived are to be given
any credence at all.
The detectives admit that they
are baffled concerning the where
abouts of Johnson's money, al
though they declare that they are
sure that he had more than
$1,000.
Bert Kersh, husband of the
woman under arrest here with
Webb, is expected to arrive today
from Seattle to claim possession
of his seven-year-old son Willie,
who was stolen from him by Mrs.
Kersh at Seattle the day Webb Is
supposed to have left town.
