SOME GOOD STORIES
 ABOUT FRANK CHANCE

The conversation in a Chicago fan ming bee turned to Frank Chance. There was q great fellow said Artie Holman. former utility star of the Cubs. T used to travel around with him keeping tab on our players three or four times a week.
 One night Chance was loafing in the loby and insisted on my remain ing with him to keep him company. We were all supposed 10 he in ou- rooms by II o'clock. but he sat and sat and sat. Finally it got to be half past one.
 Why don't you go to bed Frank 2' l said. If l had 1s much money as you | wouldn't worry whether the fei- lows got in on time or not
 Chance glanced at the clock. Go to bed yourself he snapped You're breaking rules. And me sitting up tt, keen him company, Can you beat it?

At times in the past I have had so many customers at one time and so little room to put them I sometimes felt l had done wrong to bring you here. Now l have a large. comfortable room, not a fine affair, but place where you can meet me and one another and figure and talk LUMBER and feel at home It is a sales room where you can bring your WlVes ana let them see and help select the doors sash. ceilings, wall board. locks, hinges and other things about the new home that has SO much to do with their happiness. In the new stock I have ordered is the best flooring. ceiling, siding. dimension and other lumber that can possibly )e made from the best of timber. and is worked by one of the largest and best manufacturers of lumber in the world. have just unloaded two cars of dimension lumber and by the New Year will be ready to take your order for any kind of home you de- sire Co build.

Trial Court In Ordering Drainage
Ditch Cut Through III. Land

filed by Hiram Hodges against the
Richmond Cedar Works. In which the

The controversy relates to condem-
nation proceedings instituted by the

through the petitioners lands. Hodges
claims in his petition for review that
the ditch is for the private benefit of
the Richmond Cedar Works, and does
not serve public need. Since the
company Is not competent to exercise
the power of eminent domain, not be-
ing public service corporation. the
petitioner claims that the court orders
allowing the cutting Of the ditch do
him injury.

4 QUESTION OF NERVE.

One day as Bluff Masters was going
home, having just come from the
blacksmith's, with his gun, he heard
a great noise around the bend. There
was a circus in town that day, and as
there never had been one in this new
town, he thought the people were
crazy. Just then n big mad dog came
In sight, then he knew what was the
matter. AS he stood there wondering
what he must do, thought came into
his head. He saw people climbing
trees, and he thought he would like
to follow them. Just then he tore
open the package of cartridges he had
in his hand and loaded his gun Then
he aimed right between the dogs eyes.
The first shot knocked the dog over,
and the second shot finished him. Then
everybody began TO praise the brave
act of the boy
Just as soon as he could get away
from the arms of an old maid he
joined his four chums. They soon
began to make preparations for q
camping trip. Will Milton said he got
some dandy pictures of the boy and
the dog. They soon went off on a
camping trip, and had fine time.
