There are ants. for instance. You
wouldn't want to eat them even if YOU
were dreadfuliy hungry. Neither would
/. But Old MIR. Toad and Buster Bear
think there is nothing much nicer. Now,
Buster Bear had found Old Mr.. Toad
catching ants one at time as he kept
watch beside their home, and it had
tickled Buster to find some one else who
liked ants. Right away he had invited
Old Mr.. Toad to dine with him. But
poor Old Mr.. Toad had been frightened
almost to death when he heard the deep
grumbly-rumbly voice of Buster Bear.
for he had been SO busy watching for
ants that he hadn't seen Buster coming
He fell right over on his back, which
wasn't at all digEihed, and made Buster
laugh. That frightened Mr.. Toad more
than ever. You see, he didn't have the
meant to eat him. and when Buster in
vited him TO dinner he was sure o. it.
What do you think happened? Why,
he was rolled over on his feet SO gently
that lie just gasped with surprise. He
didn't even say THANH. you. 1t didn't seem
as if such a great paw could be so gen
tie.
Vow" said Buster Bear in a voice
which he tried to make sound pleasant
but which@was grumbly- rumbly just the
same. II know where there is fine
dinner waiting for us just a little way
from here. You follow me and we'll have
it in no time
So Buster Bear led the way and Mr.
DAD followed as fast as he could, be-
cause he didn't dare not to. Presently
Buster stopped beside a great big de-
cayed old log. IF you are ready. Mr.
Toad, we will dine now he said
Old Mr.. Toad didn't see anything to
eat. and his heart sank again and he
shook all over. I'm not hungry said
he in very faint voice.

SULTAN ORDERS A HOLY WAR Mohammedans Arc Called Upon To Exterminate Christian Race and
 Kill Unbeiievers.

,CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.-The Sultan has ordered holy war dec]ar- ed and has called upon all believers in Mohammed to aid in destroying the unbelievers and to make war at once upon men, women and children of the Christian faith, allowing none to escape.
 The believers in Islamism are ex- pected to attack every foreigner ex- cepting the Germans and Austrians, who are the allies of the Sultan and are to be aided in every way pos sible.
 It is believed here that the Mo hammedans will raise as one man and that thousands of British, French and Italian residents of Northern Af- rica, Asia Minor and Turkey will be killed. So great is the fear of the foreign CTS in this city that the foreign resi- dents are fleeing in terror, abandon ing everything in the rush for safe ty. Americans have been warned by the American ambassador to leave the country as it will be unsafe for them. The ambassador has called upon the Porte and demanded immediate pro- lection for not only. Americans but also for all foreigners and moro es' pecially for the women and children

 The big packing houses are all closed down, and the managers are trying in every way to have either Western or Southern packing plants fill the big orders to the British and French governments, which the pack. CTS must soon deliver or pay a big indemnity.
 Five states are now involved and it is reported here that the quarantine is to be extended and will include almost all the Northern and Western states and may also effect Texas.

 inoness To Quit.

:. .CALIENTES. Mex, Nov 1.-The convention of peace delegates today decided that General Carranza.. who is now provisional president of Mex ico, shall be given five days in which to resign and vacate the office.
 The members of the peace con- gress are anxious to avoid the threat ened civil war which will be worse than any of the previous wars, in that the two sides are more evenly matched and because all are we'll armed. The loss of life will be cor respondingly heavy and the waste and destruction enormous.
 It is believed here that Villa is sincere in his willingness to quit pro- vided Carranza is also put down and out. His hatred of Carranza is more bitter than the hatred he bore to- wards Huerta, whom he admired for his military ability and fighting strength, while for Carranza he has only contempt.
 No action will be taken until the five days are up, but both sides con- tinue to prepare for the conflict.

SEATTLE, Nov. 7.-The big brew cry owned by the Seattle Brewing company will be dismantled and the machinery sent to San Francisco as soon as prohibition becomes effective in this state. The company have purchased a block of land in San Francisco and will commence the erection of large building to house their establishment.
 The effect of the new law is caus- ing much worry to real estate men, who fear that the corners now used by the saloons will be vacated and that owing to the lack of money no new retail enterprises can be start ed. It is expected, however, that a large number of new drug stores will be opened to serve the men who can secure a prescription directing the druggists to sell liquor. Many of the stores will undoubtedly have physicians in attendance to furnish the necessary prescription for sick persons.

 thousand troops, mostly reservists,
