and fled away into the dark. The elephants plunged
into the water, squealing, making sport squirting water
over their backs, and rolling, head under; and they
bufeted one another ~amiably, and there was q baby
who seemed to get in everybody's way and the grown
ups treated him shabbily. BY and by they, too, trooped
off. Then came wild pigs, and furtive antelope, and
foolish, ~chattering apes.
At last the truce water became deserted and Kath-
Ign lay down again, only to be surprised by a huge ape
who stuck his head up over the edge of the platform.
The surprise was mutual. Kathlyn pushed the idol to.
ward him. The splash of it in the water scared off the
unwelcome guest, and then Kathlyn lay down and slept.
A day or SO later Bruce arrived at the temple. Day
after day he had hung to the trail, picking It mp here
and losing it there. He found Rajah, the elephant, the
howdah gone, and only the ornamental headpiece dis.
covered to Bruce that he had found his rogue. Rajah
was docile enough; be had been domestrcatsd so long
that his freedom rather irked him.
Bruce elected from the mourning holy men the amas-
ing adventure In all is details. Kathlyn had dsap-
peared In the Jungle and not even the tried hunters
could find her. She was lost. Bruce. though In his

Arriving at the river brink, they saw the footprints
of the lion on the wet sand which ran down to the
water. TO leap from this spot to the water was not
possible for any beast of the jungle. Yet the lion had
vanished completely, as though he had been given wings.
They stood about in awe till one Of the older hunters
knelt, reached out, and dug his hand into the limo
cent looking sand. Instantly he leaped to his feet and
jumped back. t
The sucking sand ~ he cried. To the raft!"
They skirted the dangerous quicksands and dashed
along the banks to discover that their raft was gone.
Vishnu, then, as reincarnated, required solid transpor-.
tation, after the manner Of human beings? They he
came angry. A raft was a raft, substantial, necessary;
and there was no reason why a god who had ten thou

WILL BUILD SIDEWALKS ON JOHNSON STREET
 UNDER NEW LAW

At the meeting of the council Tuesday night the first action was taken under the new side walk ordinance passed recently. Geo. Rupple, residing on John son street, presented petition from majority of the property owners thereon, asking the coun- cil to put in cement walks and crossings on that street where they had been left out.
 The council almost immediately passed resolution forming all of Johnson street, from Main to Thompson, into an improvement district and will notify parties owning property thereon to put in the walks, and in case they do not. the town will do so. and the amount collected from the prop erty. There are only three va cancies along the district men, toned, the one at the residence of Mrs. L. Furry, and the one on the Solomon estate, and one on the property of C. A. Ownbey, a member of the council. Quite a bit of amusement was caused when 1t was found that Mr. Own beys name was not on the petl- tion, but he hastily signed it, and gave the other members of the council to understand that he would put in the walk. This IS the first action under Ordinance 1O2, but 1t is understood that 1t IS to be done in several other sec tons of the town, where there IS only one or two lots without walks.

COUNCIL CAN'T FURNISH
 FARMERS HITCH RACK

The hitch rack on the north side of Emma Avenue, that has been used so much by the farm CTS during the past few years is destined to soon be a thing of the past. The property for the rack was leased by the mer- chants from L. NJ. Riggs, and the lease has expired. The mer- chants have refused to lease the ground again, and the matter was presented to the city council Tuesday night. The council be- ing asked to lease the rack from Mr. Riggs for S1o0 per year, and let 1t be used as formerly. Mem bers of the council did not favor taking such action. feeling that 1t was more to the interests of the respective merchants to provide this facility to the farmers than for the town council. It develop ed that the city eouncil. cannot legally take money from the treasury and use it for such q purpose, and the matter was pass ed. t is now up to the merchant to provide q suitable location for d hitch rack.

INSURANCE ON
 THE AUDITORIUM.

When the council convened Tuesday evening, the question of carrying insurance on the Au- ditorium was brought up. 1t seems that the insurance has just expired, and been renewed, and the council were wanting a lower rate. The insurance agents here could not give lower rate owing to the condition of the building. Objections were made by the insurance companies to the way the flues are built, to the electric wiring, and several other minor details, but promised lower rate If these matters could be adjusted. Some little time was spent by the council ill dis cussing this matter, but the ac- count was finally allowed at the high rate. It being the opinion of a majority of the council that the amount of insurance could be lessened rather than any improve ments made.

SAYS UNITED STATES MUST INTERVENE IN
 MEXICAN AFFAIRS

The News enjoyed a very pleas ant call Saturday afternoon from Mr. Jones, (we neglected to get
 his initials who was recently To- cated in Monterey, Mexico. Mrs. Jones has been here for the past several weeks spending the sum- mer at the c. P. Eidson home, east of Springdale, and Mr. Jones came by here on his way to Kan sas City, Mo-, where he will make his future home. Mir. Jones was connected with the Butler Paper Company, in Monterey, selling type, ink, presses, paper, etc, i'll Mexico, and has been located there for some time. He says that there is no question in his mind
 but what the United States will have to intervene before affairs are settled in that southern re public. He spoke of the people having very little confidence in I Carranza, but looked upon Villa as sort of god or person who would relieve the people from the oppressor. He said that the lower class of people were followers of Villa, and unless Car ranza would agree to his demands another revolution would start. Mr. Jones recited one instance of where he sold two car loads of Old Hampshire Bond, a well known paper, to the Garranza government, on which they expect to print new money. The money printed during the reign of Huer- ta be ng declared worthless when Carranza became president. Mir. Jones was at Monterey during two battles between the Federals and Constitutionalists, and says he doesn't care for any more. He says that a much friendlier feel ing exists towards the Ameri
 cans since the occupation of Vera Cruz, and the events that follow ed, but declares that affairs look ed a little black before the troops landed, as the Mexicans seemed to believe that the Americans could not land. After the troops landed the Mexicans became con- vinced that Uncle Sam meant bus mess. Mir. Jones has accepted a position with the Kansas City Pa per Co.,, of Kansas City, and will travel in eastern Kansas.

My friend, have you heard of the town of Yawn On the banks of the river Slow Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair,
 Where the Sometimeoroher scents the air And the soft Goeasys grow? It lies in the valley of Whastheuse,
 In the province of Letherslide hat tired feeling is native there, It's the home of the listless dontcare,
 Where the Putitoffs abide The Putitoffs never make up their minds.
 Intending to do it tomorrow; And so they delay from day to day
 Till business dwindes and profits decay, And their days are full of sorrow.
