making the old orchard ring with the
rat-tat-tat he was beating on a hol-
low limb Of an old apple tree. 1t was
an angry rat-a-tat. No n could
hear it without knowing that Drum
mer the Woodpecker was in a great
rage. He was. There was no doubt
about 1t. But who wouldn't be after
being robbed a second time? And
that is just what had happened to
Drummer. Yes. sir, he had been
robbed a second time. He had left
his house unguarded for just a few
minutes and when he returned the
beautiful white egg of which he and
Mrs. Drummer were so proud was
gone. This would have been bad
enough il the very same thing hadn't
happened only the day before.
Drummer the Woodpecker was sure
that he knew who the robber was.
Hadn't Chaterer the Red Squirrel
e Sammy Jay pulling his head out
Of Drummer's doorway with some
thing white in his mouth? He said
that he had. anyway, and Drummer
believed him. Now there couldn't be
any doubt about it. for there, just at
the foot Of the tree, was a feather
and 1t was blue and white. More than
that, there was the harsh voice of
Sammy Jay over in another part of
the old orchard this very minute.
Drummer stopped beating the rat
a-ta-tat on the hollow limb and
started for the place where he heard
the voice Of Sammy Jay. Like a red
capped fury he rushed at Sammy Jay
and it we'll for Sammy that he saw
him coming.
sGNIhot,o Tho ,,o{ke~ r,;&l
Drummer" demanded Sammy, an
grily.
"a pretty question for you to ask"
snapped Drummer the Woodpecker, as
he once more rushed at Sammy Jay.
I'll teach you to rob me Of my eggs,
you thief"
Now Of course all the other birds
in the old orchard hurried up to see
what all the fuss was about. and no
sooner did they hear Drummer the
Woodpecker call Sammy Jay a thief
than they all took up the cry and
began to dart at Sammy Jay and pull
my flew into a terrible rage and
called everybody names. But names
don't really hurt, though some folks
act as If the did, while sharp
pointed bills do. and Sammy soon
found that there We're so many of
these that his beautiful blue coat
would be torn all to pieces n he
didn't get away. So screaming with
rage. twisting and lodging this way
and that way, Sammy flew to the
shelter of the Green Forest. while
after him for a little way flew all the
birds of the old orchard, with Drum
the Woodpecker in the lead and
all screaming at the top Of their
lungs, Thief! Thief! THIEF"
Sammy hid in a thick hemlock tree

Waiting for the BuRle.
we wait for the bugle: the night dews
are cold,
The limbs of the soldiers feel jaded
The field Of our bivouac is windy
and bare,
There is lead in u joints. there is
frost In u hair;
The future Is yelled and its fortunes
unknown,
AZ we lie with hushed breath till the
bugle Is blown.
At the sound Of that bugle each com.
rade shall spring
Like an arrow released from the
strain Of the string;
The courage, the impulse of youth
shall come back
To Danish the chill Of the. drear
bivouac,
And SORROWS and losses and cares fade
away
When that life-giving signal proclaims
the new day.
Though the bivouac of age may nut
ice in our veins,
And no fiber Of steel in our sinews
remains.
Though the comrades of yesterdays
march are not here,
And the sunlight seems pale and
the branches are sere,
Though the sound Of our cheering dies
down to a moan,
We shall find our lost youth when the
bugle Is blown.

Forest and the more he thought
about how he had been treated the
angrier he. grew.
Drummer the Woodpecker had no
right to Say that I stole his eggs!
Why. l don't even know where his
house is! Somebody else stole the
eggs and I'm blamed for it without
any cause whatever. she complained
bitterly. You see he quite overlooked
the fact that people Iare judged by
their acts in the past quite as much
as by what they may or may not do
In the present, and because everybody
knew that he had stolen whatever
ne got the chance every believed
right away that he had stolen the
esgs Of Drummer the Woodpecker.
And that was what hurt. He was be-

do at all.

That he must suffer for the past.

this by stretching. Stretch, stretch,
stretch, a often as You will. There
is nothing like it for moulding flesh.
1t takes it from the places too we'll
covered, and distributes 1t where ev-
cry symmetry seems to call for it. And
1t is a simple exercise. Stand firmly
with the chest up, then rise on tiptoes,
up-up-at the same time reaching
up with both hands, arms close to the
head. Try to touch the ceiling. This
not only reduces by distribution of
flesh, but makes for symmetry.

CRIPPLE IS KILLED.
Florence Negro Tries to Scare Some
Other Colored Boys.

Robert Woodberry and Eugene
Snow, two negro boys from near
Poston, were brought in to Florence
Thursday night to be held on the
charge of killing Jeter Snow, Grip
pied negro, the brother Of one Of the
boys held for the killing. 1t seems
that the two boys had been in gypsy
camp and had been frightened by the
gypsies, and on coming home had
thought it well to load up a gun and
put it by their bed to protect them
selves. Late in the night the Grip
pied brother came home, and pre-
tending to be gypsy, possibly to
still further frighten them, called
out, "Let me tell your fortune" AS
he entered the house he left his
crutches outside, the first time he
was ever known to walk without
them, and entered the bed room Of
the two boys. Robert reached for
the gun, and as Jeter came near the
bed fired, the load taking effect in
his neck, and the powder burning his
body dreadfully. He died instantly.
No reason other than fright can be
given to account for the killing.

NEGRO ATTEMPTED TO SHOOT.
But is Shot to Death by His Intended
Victim First.

S1CUm f1rot.
A dispatch from Manning says a
negro named Napoleon Johnson was
shot and killed few miles above
Paxville Tuesday by Arthur Cubbage,
citizen Of that section. Mr.. Cub
bage came to Manning and gave him
self up to Sheriff Gamble. Mr.. Cub
bage states that he started from his
home to go bird hunting, having his
gun under the buggy seat, and Just
as he got out to the road he saw the
negro in a wagon with some sacks OF
oats. He had had some trouble with
the negro on a.former occasion, but
suspected nothing at this time. Just
as he says he turned out Of his ave-
nue. into the road the negro drove
short distance up the road, stopped
behind the sacks of oats and attempt
ed to shoot, but his gun snapped.
Mr.. Cubbage says he at once jump
ed out Of his buggy, got his gun from
under the seat and loaded it, and as
Johnson raised up from behind the
oats in the act Of unloading his gun,
Mr. Cubbage fred, striking Johnson
in the face, and the latter falling
from his wagon to the ground. .

MARCHING ON CAPITOL.
MEXICAN FEDERAIS GATHERING
FOR ADVANCE MOVE.
General Villa Enters City at Head Of
Victorious Army From Which He
Fled Nineteen Years Ago.

Fifty-fve hundred Mexican rebels,
forming the nucleus Of the army
which the rebel leader, Gen. Francis
co Villa says he will lead to Mexico
City to overthrow the Huerta dicta-
torship, were ready to enter Chihua-
hua, the State capitol, Thursday
night. It is in this town that Villa,
now in supreme command Of the mil
itary forces of the revolution, said he
would gather about him 10000 men
to start south by way Of Torreon and
Zacatecas to Mexico City. The re-
port that Zacatecas. with 10000
population, the capital Of rich min
ing district, already was being at
tackled, indicated that the rebels to
the south were in great numbers.
Scattered bands Of rebels, ranging
each from a few hundred to several
thousand, are to be impressed into
the main army, according to Villas
plan to have at least 10000 men
when he reaches the high plateau
leading to the capital Of the republic.
Already equipped with machine
guns, artillery and millions Of rounds
Of ammunition, Villa said he no
longer was hampered by inability to
get arms from foreign sources, but
could readily obtain them from the
federals, who are reported in the few
remaining northern strongholds to
be ready to evacuate. The defeat Of
the federals in their retreat from
Juarez is known to have placed great
quantities of arms In the hands Of
the rebels.
The rebel adv.ces were that-Fred-
erico Moye, civil governor Of Chihua-
hua, had made elaborate prepara-
tions for the reception of Villa, hav-
ing put in gala state the palace where
Villa will now command, and that
Villa probably would occupy home
vacated by one Of the millionaire
Terrazas family.
It was from Chihuahua that Villa,
19 years ago, adopted the career Of
a bandit because he was ordered ar
rested on a charge Of having killed
an army officer. When he arrives
there not only Villa himself, but also
the men who rallied around him, will
occupy the quarters Of federal off,
Gals who sought him as an outlaw.
Before leaving Chihuahua the fed
eral Gen. Mercado, at the request Of
the United States consul, Marion
Letcher, and other consuls.. left 200
soldiers for police duty, the promise
being that the rebels on entering the
city would not molest the men. The
federal police took fright at the rebel
approach and fed. The consuls then
prevailed upon citizens to do the
policing.
