OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Buddy Pioa Wants a Tail.

The day after the Fourth of July,
when he and his sister had had such
4 fun, Buddy Pigg came into the pen
where his mamma was baking tea
L biscuits for supper and sat down in
~ chair by the table where she was
\ working.
He didn't say anything but just
watched his mamma rolling out the
crust, or whatever it is they make
& ten biscuits of, and pretty soon Mrs.
Pigg noticed that Buddy didn't seem
very happy. His face was all twist
ED up, into funny sort of a scowl,
3 and every once in while he would
Il 4ive long sigh, as though he hadn't
~ friend In all the world.
why, Buddy Mrs. Pigg asked
q when the tea biscuits were ready for
the over, whatever in the wide, wide
Il world is the matter? Are you sick,
ssor did you burn youhself with fire
scracker?"
mo. mother" Buddy answered,
ssI'm not sick and l didn't burn my
self with firecracker, but wish-1
wish and then he stopped and sort
ut wiggled his nose.
WE'LL asked his mother with a
smile, what do you wish? Remem-
Der though, that am not fairy and
cant give you anything you want

INA. All / want is tall
"a tail?" exclaimed his mamma in
great surprise, and she wondered if,
after all, Buddy wasn't i'll, for that
afy.o
began to wish that his papa was
home, or that Brighteyes, who was
sBuddy's sister, was in the house to
help look after him, but Brighteyes
4 had gone to see her aunt, and
wouldn't be back till night.
Yes" went on Buddy, Il want
tail All the other boys and girls
who are friends of mine have them,
and don't see why l can't
For you see guinea pigs never have
tails. Why that is l don't know, ex-
scept, maybe it's better that way in
hot weather, but, anyhow, they have
mo tails

And Sammie and Susie Littletail
haven't much of a tail, Buddy" said
Mrs. Pigg, as she looked in the oven
TO see II the biscuits were burning.
Il know it. mother, but they have
something of a TAIL" spoke Buddy,
:.and maybe it will grow longer In
time. I'd be glad if I had even as
much as Sammie has"
WELL, said Mrs. Pigg, Pm sorry,
Buddy, but l don't see how you are
ever going to get tail. I haven't
any, your father hasn't any, and we
get along very well. None of your
relations have tails and they are
happy. They never had any. In fact

Splendid Laxative
For Elderly People
Has Been Prescribed by Well
Known Physician For
Many Years.

The infirmties of age are especially
manifest in tendency to constipation,
and call for treatment that will afford
relief in an easy, natural manner. The
rapid action of cathartic remedies and
purgatives that shock the system
should be avoided, more especially as
the relief they offer is only temporary
and is usually more than offset by
disturbance to the vital organs caused
by their violent action.
Nearly thirty years ago DIR. w. b.
Caldwell, Monticello, ILL.,, prescribed a
compound of simple laxative herbs
that has since become the standard
household remedy in thousands of
homes. 1t acts easily and gently, yet
with positive effect, without gripping or
other pain or discomfort. Mrs. Rachel
Allen, Galesburg, Kan. is seventy-one
years old, and after using a bottle of
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. wrote
that 1t had done her world of good
and that she intends to keep it in the
house always.

Snyder Assails
Absent Officials

Senator Charles A. Snyder, candi-
date for Auditor General, speaking in
Philadelphia last night, attacked de-
partment heads for being in politics.
THE statement has been made, the
Senator said, that my candidacy has
been injected into this fight because 1t
will further the interests of certain
faction. This is untrue. AS long ago
as last August l announced that l
would be a candidate for the nomina-
ton for Auditor General. If my can
didacy finds favor with Senator Pen
rose. Senator McNichol and other
leaders, this backing has certainly fol-
lowed my announcement. have no
bosses.
Senator Snyder then told the voters
that he had pledged his support for a
short session for the next Legislature
in the blief that the best interests of
the State demanded it. With no
funds in thetreasury," he said, we
want no comprehensive program of
legislation. We have no money to
spare to try outtheories that other
States have tried and discarded We
have scarcely money enough to pay
necessary expenses and we have none
to spare even to enforce all the laws
on the statute books
ReVerting to the Brumbaugh ad-
Senator Snyder raped
absentee officeholders in the State de-
partments and declared the practice
of State department heads touring the
State in their own personal interests
had become a scandal.

Late Local and County
News For Hasty Reading

The question of the validity of a
verbal agreement between c. Vernon
Rettew and his brother-in-law, Chris
tian l.. Long, as to the sharing of
portion of the increment from the late
Mrs. Rettew's portion of her grand
fathers estate, was threshed out be-
fore a Dauphin County Common Pleas

wife of Rettew, was a sister of Mrs.

fourth portion. Mr. Rettew was given
his wife's share at her death. This he
in turn turned over to Mr.. Long. the
administrator, for S15,5O0. The UNDER
standing at the time, according to Ret
tew. was that IL the property increas-
ed in value to more than $21,000, he,
Rettew, was to receive the excess. The
property in question sold eventually
for $4,000 and the $4,000 excess is the
sum Rettew is suing for.
Because the bids City Commissioner
H. r. Bowman received for laying wa
ter pipe in Bellevue Park were too high
as submitted by Johnson and Lyme,
Mr. Bowman will probably readvertise
for bids.
