ONE YEAR AGO THE

BEING; NOW 5O,OOO,OOO HAPPY
MILES LIE BEHIND 1T

Just one year ago the 340Or. D. m.
Chalmers was born.
September 3Oth is it's Anniver
sary Day.
1t was untried, unknown,
looked a little strange because it
was different, and nobody outside
of four men knew what it could
do.
These four men-the men who
had dreamed the car-had little
to say.
What will it do a. they were
asked.
Get in and try they replied.
And in three days time every
last Chalmers executive had ex-
perienccd a thrill that was new
behind the wheel.
They banged it around in city
traffic, abused it on hills, ran it
through broken fields, made it
take hurdles they would never
ask their own personal cars to
take.
They were amazed and then
they sat down and decided to
build three times as many Of these
cars as they had ever built of any
model in a single year before
$22, 900, 600 worth.

Then behold the situation. Six
months later these $4,000 cars
were all built. Then 10, 900 more
were ordered.
And a few days ago we got

So you see why we are proud to
have birthday party for the car.
Any car that has $4,000, 900
happy miles Of use behind it
certainly has an interesting his
tory and its birthday anniversary
is an event.
Remember this is only it's first
birthday. SO successful has the
car proven that the Chalmers
Company is continuing to build
it right through into next year.
So you're safe in getting a car
now that won't be obsolete in
the spring.
Consider the price. $1,000

Come in today. Attend the
birthday party.

Our First Foreign War.

The first foreign war in which tie
United States was engaged began 10
wears ago, when Tripoli issued det~
laration Of war against the new-world
republic. The ruler Of the piraticai
African state had learned that thy
United States had paid larger sums 30
Algiers than to himself, and demand
cd y greater annual tribute. This WA
refused, and on June 10, 1901, he de-
clared war. An American squadron
under Commodore Richard Dale was
disnatched to the Mediterranean, and
was followed by squadrons command
cd by Commodore Morris and Commo-
dore Preble. The war continued until
1905, and was characterized by several
feats Of valor performed by American
sailors. The hey Of Tripoli and other
Barbary rulers, who had long preyed
upon the commerce Of America and
Europe, were brought up with a short
turn. Prior to the Tripolitan war the
United States and France fought sew
eral sea engagements, but war was
not officially declared, and the Difficult
ties we're settled without recourse to
open and avowed hostilities.

condition TO risk catching cold. In
fact, Duane's teeth were chattering.
To find a shelter in that barren waste
seemed a futile task. Quite uneX-
pectedly, however, they happened upon
a deserted adobe cabin situated a little
off the road. Not only did it prove
to have dry interior, but also there
was firewood. Water was available in
pools everywhere; however, there was
no grass for the horses.
A good fire and hot food and drink
changed the aspect Of their condition
as far as comfort went.
Jennie slept while Duane watched.
The saving of this girl meant more
to him than any task he had ever as
Sumed.
AS he looked down upon her,
slight, slender girl with bedraggled
dress and disheveled hair, her face
pale and quiet little stern in sleep,
and her long, dark lashes lying on her
cheek, he seemed to see her fragility,
her prettiness, her femininity as never
before. But for him she might at
that very moment have been broken,
ruined girl lying back in that cabin of
the BANDS. The fact gave him feel
ing of his Importance In this shifting
of her destiny. She was unframed,
still young; she would forget and be
happy; she would live to be good
wife and mother. Somehow the
thought swelled his heart. His act
death-dealing as it had been, was a
noble one, and helped him to hold on
to his drifting hopes. Hardly once
since Jennie had entered into his
thought had those ghosts returned to
torment him.
Tomorrow she would be gone among
good, kind people with d possibility of
finding her relatives. He thanked
God for that; nevertheless, he felt a
pang.
About the middle of the afternoon
Jennie awOke. They cooked a meal
and afterward sat beside the little

had forgotten the horses. But luckily
they didn't stray far. l caught them
and kept them down in the gorge.
When your wounds closed and you be-
gan to breathe stronger 1 thought you'd
get well quick. 1t was fever that put
you back. You raved a lot, and that
worried me, because l couldn't stop
you. Anybody trailing us could have
heard you a good ways. l don't know
whether I was scared most then or
when you were quiet, and it was so
dark and lonely ant still all around.
Every day put a stone in your hat"
Jennie, you saved my life" said
Duane.
II don't know. Maybe. 1 did all l
knew how to do" she replied. "You
saved mine-more than my life"
Their eyes met in long gaze, and
then their hands in a close clasp.
Jennie, we're going to get away"
he said, with gladness. "I'll be well
in a few days. You don't know how
strong 1 am. Well hide by day and
travel by night. 1 can get you across
the river"
"And then?" she asked.
"We'll find some honest rancher,"
"And then?" she persisted.
"Why," he began, slowly, "that's as
far as my thoughts ever got. 1t was
pretty hard, tell you, to assure my
self so much. 1t means your safety.
You'll tell your story. You'll be sent
to some village or town and taken care
Of until a relative or friend is notified"
"And you?" she inquired in strange
voice.
Duane kept silence.
"What will you do?'' she went on.
Jennie, I'll go back to the brakes.
I daren't show my face among re-
spectacle people. I'm an outlaw"
You won't go back among these
terrible men? You, with your gentle
ness and sweetness-all that's good
about you? Oh, Duane, don't-don't
gow
81 can't go back to the outlaws, at
least not BANDS band. No, I'll go
alone. I'll lone-wolf it, as they say
on the border. Never mind about me,
Jennie"

DROPPING OF MIDDLE NAMES
A Two-PIy Title Found to Be More
Convenient Socially, Morally and
Financially.

This Is the day Of the two-cylinder
name, which fact has been proved by
cognomen connoisseurs who have
looked over every name at Harvard
and inspected the persons to whom the
names belong. They learned that
some extremely nice persons have no
middle names at all, and seem to get
on rather we'll without them.
1t Is assumed that the ever-grow-
ing trend toward efficiency is to be
blamed for the dropping Of diversified
names, for it has long been understood
that a person with two-ply title need
not be especially embarrassed about 1t.
In the course of wealthy mans life
It means the writing Of about 10000
900 useless words If he uses his mid
die name on checks and Endorsements,
and these things have got to be con-
sidered.
The Porcelain club at Harvard, the
most exclusive organization Of Its kind
In the country, proves this year the
failing value Of middle names. There
are fifteen members this year, and but
Ave of them are burdened with Excess
sive nomenclature.
OF course, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had no middle names,
but this evidence is considered as moth
ing at Harvard compared with the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt hasn't. That
one fact Is almost enough to wreck the
complicated title system at the uni
versity.

Duane merely nodded, and then, say

strobe away through the grove.
No outlaws were in sight. He saw
several Mexican herders with cattle.
Blue columns of smoke curled up over
some of the cabins. The fragrant smell
of it reminded Duane of his home
and cutting wood for the stove. He
noted cloud of creamy mist rising
above the river, dissolving in the sun
light.
Then he entered BANDS lane.
While yet some distance from the
cabin he heard loud, angry voices of
man and woman. Bland and Kate

BIRDS SPOILED GOOD SCHEME
Woman's Ingenious Idea Failed Be-
cause She Was Unable to Take
Them Into Her Confidence.

She planted some young fruit trees
in her back yard last fall. Among
them was a cherry tree, just little
thing that will consume several years
in it's valiant effort to acquire rea-
sonable standing in the community.
But it is doing it's best, and already
1t is large enough to attract attention.
A man in the neighborhood has
watched the career Of that tree with
much interest, and he has not lost a
chance to jolly the woman about it.
At least 1900 times, thus far this sea-
son. he has asked her about the tree
and about the prospects for the crop
Of cherries. The woman finally de-
cided "to put one over" on him. she
would show him that a young cherry
tree could bear a full crop of fruit the
first year.
She bought a box of nice, big red
ripe cherries, and tied about twenty
of them on the tender little limbs or
the cherry tree with thread. When
she had completed the work the tree
doomed up bright and red as an an
akchist flag. Then she sent word to
the man, who lived two doors away,
to come over and see what the tree
had produced.
He was not at home at the time, but
he arrived soon afterward, and he
ambled over to have a look at the
tree. But its branches were as bare
of cherries as a Mexican desert is OF
ice water.
Birds had discovered the cherries
and they beat him to it." They had
eaten every cherry. The woman does

hurried Il little. Halfway down the
through the cottOnwOodS. This tiHae
he saw Euchre coming with the horses.
There was no indication that the old
outlaw might lose his nerve at the end.
Duane had feared this.
Duane now changed his walk to q
ieisurely Saunter. He reached the
porch and then distinguished what was
said inside the cabin.
IF you do, Bland. by Heaven FL
fix you and herr That was painted
out in Kate BANDS full voice.
