Just then Aunt Martha and Uncle

words to Skinski on the side:

hearing more about those dreamland
gold mines.
'I've got the documents and every
thing to prove that my claim Is all the
goods" Skinski ratified on. "All il
needs is the capital to work it and it's
a bonanza, sure-isn't 1t, Dodey-l

"You betcher sweet" she an
swered, whereupon Peaches and Aunt
Martha had fit of coughing which
lasted three minutes.
Then Uncle Peter coaxed Skinski
off in corner and there they hob
nobbed for fifteen minutes while my
wife and her aunt and | tried to get
cheerful and chatty with Aunt Flo,
but we only succeeded in dragging
from her four reluctant "You betchel

Presently Uncle Peter and Skinsk
shook hands about something, and
five minutes later Bunch's relatives
took their deDarture to the accompani
ment of much internal applause on my
part.

most elegant line OF language that
ever left the pipes. Leave it all to

Catch 1oo-Year.oId Turtle.

Four hundred years ago, according
to estimates, Indians, with their crude
fishing devices, might have tried to
catch large turtle that appeared at
times in the Chesapeake bay; but 1t
eluded generation after generation OF
red men, white men. sailors and oys-
ter fishers until few days ago, when
1t was finally captured and sent TO
fish merchant in Homestead. 1t will

The turtle, weighing 317 pounds and
measuring nearly five feet In diam

the Choptank river, near Choptank,
Md, and created sensation In that
town. According to the owner, there

- Gets A Setback
By GEORGE V. HOBART

Dinner was nearly over at Uncle
Peters villa in Ruraldene when sud
denly the doorbell rang violently and
two minutes later the servant an
hounced that Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius
MCGOWAN were in the parlor.
l knew! They were really Skinski
and Dodo, engaged by us to go on the
road with their sketch, and l had once
introduced them as Bunch's relatives.
Bunch was getting back!
First l decided to faint; then ]
changed my mind and tried to figure
out which would be the most cruelty
effective way of killing Bunch Jeffer,
son.
Uncle Peter resented the unexpected
arrival of these strangers, because he
wanted to sit around and have the
home folks tell him how sick he was.
"Pd like to know what Bunch JEFF
ferson means by sending his relatives
over to us on a Sunday evening" my
wife's uncle snapped. why doesn't
he worry old Bill Grey with them, eh
It's bad enough for me to have to
sneeze my head off before my own
people, but I'll be dod bimmed If I'm
going to sit around the parlor and
play solos on my bronchial tubes for
the edification of strangers-no, sir!"
Uncle Peter snifned off to his apart
ments, and Peaches said she'd try to
entertain the visitors.
/ concluded to help her some.
Skinski arose from the sofa and
greeted us with his most elaborate
bow.
Ma'moselle Dodo didn't Society very
much.
She sat in the middle of the room
and sang soft lullabys to a hold-over.
"Mr. Jefferson, my nephew" Skin
ski was saying, insisted that we
should hit the suburban trail and To-
cate your shack. Here's a note from
nephew Bunch for you"
Skinski handed me the note with a
face as solemn as q monkey-wrench,
and l read 1t:
City, Sunday p. NJ.

FOS6DuQS. AS IdVOr TO your Ola Pal

P. S.-Don't drag Aunt Flora into any

Then he began to whistle softly and
went into the dining room.
Monday morning, bright and early,
I met Bunch, and we buried the
hatchet.
Il hope my beloved relatives didn't
disgrace me while sojourning in your
midst" he chuckled.
"Not at ALL" I answered airily.

About noon Bunch and l ducked for
work for our show.
Nobody knew us in the town, 80 we
posed as Cameron & Connolly, own
ers Of the Great Hall of Illusions,
and managers of the world wonder
and Magic king, Signor Beppo Petro-

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 6.-Penn-
sylvania corn-growers at the end Of
this summer will probably find them
selves between the scylla Of a late

in the opinion Of Deputy Secretary
of Agriculture Martin.
This summer. SO far, has been far

there is no danger of a poorcrop If

Except for the hot spells OF late

They don't care whether much rain

The corn is now from two 10 three
