and began to pick the berries, then the
farmer came along. He was a tall and
rather thin man with a long white beard
When he saw the boys playing IN the
garden, he sent out his big savage dog
after them. AS soon as the dog jumped
over the fence, he caught James by the
coat and began TO pull him around on the

BILLIE BUBBLES GUMDROP
By Farmer Smith


Little Billie Bubble was resting quite
peacefully in the water of the little brook,
1t was a very hot day and little Billie
began to feel uncomfortable, so he floated
into the shade under the bridge,
Two little girls were standing on the
bridge. Now Billie was a very curious little
Bubble.
II wonder what they are talking about?"
he thought to himself. He listened very
carefully.
Lets throw some candy to the fishes"
said one little girl as she put her little fat
hand into paper bag.
The next minute she leaned over the rail
OF the bridge and dropped something down
into the water.
Billie was so interested he didn't have
time TO get out the way and something
round and soft just grazed his little side.
"Oh, my" said little Billie Bubbles 'I
feel so sweet could just about eat myself"
and he fairly shook himself with delight he
felt so good.
"Guess I'll go down to the bottom and
see what that was" said Billie, and, making
his little whirlpool down he went.
Right on the bottom OF the brook he found
something pink and round and sparkling.
Hello, sweet thing !" said Billie. whats
your name?"
Gum Drop" answered the nice pink lit
tie ball.
whats all that glitter on your" asked
Billie as he came closer and looked curlously
at the GumDrop.
That's sugar." said the Gum Drop
That's what makes me so sweet"
''Yum. yum" said Billie. 81 like the
sound OF that" He came so close TO the
little Gum Drop that he began to feel
sweeter and sweeter,
go away" said the Gum Drop Don't
melt me all away"
But little Billie just couldn't keep away
from that Gum Drop and before the week
was out little Billie had melted 1t all away
II think l will go back underneath the
bridge" said Billie, "and maybe some little
girl will throw me another Gum Drop"

Indiana Representative to Resist Any
Effort to Smother Probe Demand.

Representative Wood. Of Indiana. In a
defiant mood over what he considered a
concerted purpose to smother his resolu-
ton asking for q probe of ALLEGED
'leaks' OF advance tips to Wall Street on
the Presidents peace messages, last night
announced that he would carry his fight
to the floor Of the House IL Democratic
leaders resist the demand for an investi-
cation.
Representative Wood plainly was dis
turbed over the attitude of some MEM
bers Of the Rules Committee. who are
admittedly opposed to a Congressional
airing OF the alleged scandal, and re-
newed his threat to force the fullest in
quiry despite any efforts to forestali
revelations as to the identity of high gov
eminent ofncials who may have profited
financially through advance Information
on the Presidents notes.
Representative Wood insists that Con-
gress cannot lightly cast aside the asper-
slons contained in the sensational tele-
gram from Thomas W. Lawson, who
charged that real Investigation" would
render It impossible to muster a quorum
IN either tho Senate or House. This
reflection upon the members Of Congress
u sufficient to warrant tho fullest in
vestigation Of an the matters Involved in
my resolution" Mr.. Wood said, "and out
Of respect for itself Congress should in
sist upon such an investigation"

Plant Juice. Q remedy that not only
sradicates the disease, but builds up
the whole system, purines the blood. and
makes one realize that life is really
worth living.
AZ the days pass by, more and more
people are coming to realize the truth
ef this statement, as attested by the
signHd testimonials Of well-known peo-
pie who have been restored to health.
Take. for instance. the case Of Mr..
Andrew Smith. who lives at No, 120
Eye street N. W., and Is a well-known
patent attorney Of this city. and promi-
nent in business circles. He stated:
For months I have been in a ter
ribly run down condition, from rheu-
matism and catarrh. My stomach was
ir such a weak condition that I could
not digest my food. and IT fermented
in my stomach and caused gas to form;
/ was nervous and could not sleep well
at night, had headaches, poor circula-
ton. and did not have any ambition or
energy to do my work. had heard so
much about your Plant Juice and the
number Of people who had been bene-
ited by It. that 1 got a bottle to try
1t. I am surprised at the improvement
had. as 1 can now eat well. and am
able to sleep the night through; havo
good circulation and am not a. nervous
as I was
Such words as these and those Of
many others which have been printed
have wide influence, for they come from
men Of standing and integrity who have
given Plant Juice fair trial and have
been greatly benefited.

pie Drug Store, corner Of Seventh and

PRICE PROBE SOON TO BEGIN.

Within a few days the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics of the Department of Labor

determining the cause Of high prices.
There will be twelve investigators who
will ring doorbells and seek informal ton
in every part Of the city where the cost
Of living Is a problem. The present dis
position is to limit the scope probe to
families living on incomes Of 5000 or

WANTS DECREE ANNULLED,
Father Objects to Adoption of Child
by wife's Second Husband.

Annulment of decree authorizing the
adoption of his 9-year-old daughter, Dor
othy, by his former wifes second hus-
band, Is asked In petition filed by Sam
uel Wiesenberg in the District Supreme
Court.
The petition claims that wiesenbergs 8
wife obtained a divorce from him and
later married Rudolph Ehrlich, who
adopted the child with the consent Of its
mother. Wiesenberg states in his petition
that the court was under the impression
when issuing the decree that both of the
child's parents consented to have her
adopted by Ehrlich. He declares that he
did not consent to the proceedings and
learned Of them only through the news
papers.
