He had hardly touched his little

Each talked about himself or her
self. II was SO strange to hear them

Right over the wardrobe hung a
large picture in frame. The wand
touched 1t, and, 10 and behold, the
birds In II began to sing: the boughs
OF the trees in it began to wave and
the clouds In 1t began to move.
The Dustman did funny thing
then. He picked little Hialmar I'D and
pushed his legs into the picture. There
the child stood with his feet I'm the
deep. cool grass.
He ran, over to the edge OF little
stream. climbed into small. red
boat and some beautiful swans began
pulling his boat along the stream.

the door in the haunted house and
creeps toward them!
Oh-o-o, can't you just see Teddy
Bruin hiding his face behind his
mamma bear? He Is holding onto her
as tightly as he can, too.
Don't you see grandma bear out at
the side OF the big owl? She Is too
scared to breathe.
And do look at Katie and Traddles
cuddled up close to big Father Bear.
They are sitting right in front OF
Great Uncle Owl, where they can
hear every word.
Little Traddles Is wearing hat to-

off any minute. But lok at Katie.
She just loves ghost stories and she
isn't scared at all, SO long as Father
Bear has his arm around her.

TO INFLUENCE DECISIONS
Reason Why Federal Judges Were In
vestigated, Says Borah.

Washington, Aug. S.-The fiat
charge that department of justice
agents had investigated federal judges
to influence their action in cases in
which the government was interested
was made in the senate by Senator
Borah and endorsed, partially at least,
by Senator Norris.
Senator Borah's charge was brought
out by a report from Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds, responding to a SEN
ate resolution asking where federal
agents were investigating judges. The
attorney general replied that any re-
port that the federal department OF
justice was maintaining a system OF
espionage over judges was entirely
without foundation"
Mr.. Borah responded with his
charge.

charge" said he, but | am so reliably
informed that | make the statement

AIdeTshOt, Eng.

London, Aug. s.-Colonel S. #. Cody,
the famous Anglo-American aviator,
was killed i'm an eroplane accident at
Aldershot.
Cody was trying out a new aeroplane
when he met his death. In the ma
chine with him was passenger Of
the name of Evans. They were flying
over the open country, most of which
is government land, in the Aldershot
district, and had just reached the
government house when their aero
plane began travelling badly and final
ly fell with a crash to the ground.
Several officials rushed TO the spot
and found the bodies of Cody and
Evans lying beneath the aeroplane,
Cody was the most interesting fig
ure in aviation In the British Isles.
He was a real soldier of fortune, with
a varied career behind him. He war
well known to the public in England
and very popular. He wore som
brero, a long mustache, an imperial
and long hair, and was almost an ex

WILSON'S ACTION RESENTED
constItutionaiists Also Opposed to
Mediation plan.

Paris, Aug. S.-The Mexican Con-
stitutionalists here, while bitter
against Provisional President Huerta,
resent the sending of John Lind into
Mexico by the United States. Their
committee issued the following state
ment:
I'VE learn that John Lind has been
sent to Mexico as a mediator, person
ally representing President Wilson.
The Constitutionalists here, while ap-
preciating the correct attitude Of
President Wilson, energetieally pro-
test against the possible Intervention
of the United States. Intervention
will be resented whatever its form.
Americans never had more interests
in Mexico than now, and If they think
their interests endangered the worst
way to take to protect themselves
would be by adoption of semi-official
pressure. Military Intervention could
not be worse than attempted media
ton, as that would mean war"
