Just Little Stories

Ernest s. Colby, as he was walking
up Cascade avenue last Saturday night
with his wife, thought he saw the light
of the Aurora Borealis in the northern
sky. After Mr.. Colby and his wife had
watched the peculiar phenomenon for
several minutes, the husband knocked
at the door of a neighbor. Soon the
residents for two blocks on the south
side of the street we're out gazing at
the heavens.
A pedestrian walking up the north
side of the street was hailed and told
to see the peculiar light. The latter,
however, looked in vain. and it was
discovered that the streak of luminous
sky was really an optical illusion. The
sky gazers had been looking at spark.
of telephone line on the north side of
the street.
The cry of Lost Child" spread
through the business section of Hood
River last one evening recently just as
the stores were closing for the day.

Buster" aged 4. and Hazard Perry,
small baby. Mrs. l.. J. Butterfield
was shopping at the 5. 10 and Is cent
store. When she had finished her
purchases and had received her pack
ages, Buster" was missing. A search
in the basement, where tables were
laden with Christmas novelties. was
unsuccessful, nor was the little fellow
found on the streets or in any nearby
business establishments.
The alarm spread quickly, and with
the mother frantic, searchers began to
comb the downtown district. Finally
the boy was discovered two blocks
away knocking at the locked door of
the Butler Banking house.
Buster" explained to the women who
found him that he wanted to borrow
some money to buy sled for Christ

Mr.. Tucker tried to cheer him up
and Mariana continued 10 write let
ters, but they all came back.

Mr. Tucker he felt strong enough TO
leave and make his own way. He
moved to go O'Brien street Last
