"Close your eyes" the mouse said
to the wife, turn round three times
and then open your eyes,
When she opened her eyes there in
q comfortable chair sat her husband
smoking his pipe.
The wife told her husband what the
mouse had said and as he was afraid
of being without a full pipe, he never
bothered his wife again and lived
peaceably ever after.

THE ENCHANTED MOUSE.

One day the wife of a poor man
caught a mouse in wire trap. She
took it to a pail of water to drown it,
when, to her surprise, the mouse spoke
to her.
Good madam" it said, Il am an
enchanted mouse and have in days
gone by been a prince. l hope some
day to come into my own again. Give
me life and you will never regret it."
IF you will promise never to take
the bread and cheese in my pantry
again." said the wife, II will grant
your request"
"That l WILL" said the mouse, "and
promise to keep the other mice away
also"
So the wife opened the trap and the
mouse ran into big hole in the
wall.
What are you doing?' asked her
husband, who came in at that moment.
When the wife told him what the
mouse had said he was very angry.
'Why did you not make a wish?' he
said. "If it is an enchanted mouse he
can grant anything, and here we are
living in this old hut and never in
all my life had enough tobacco to fill
my pipe. Call him back and wish that
l may have a comfortable home and a
full pipe"
So the wife went to the hole and
called:
Mouse, mouse, pray come to me,
have favor to ask of thee"
The mouse put it's head out of the
hole and asked: What do you want
of me?"
II caught you in a trap" said the
wife, "and let you go without wishing.
My husband says 1 should have wished
and that he is tired of living in this
hut. He wishes comfortable home
and full pipe"
VERY WELL" said the mouse; "close
your eyes, turn around three times and
then open your eyes and you will have
the WISH"
The wife did as the mouse said, and
when she opened her eyes there was
her husband sitting in a large easy
chair smoking pipe.
"See," he said; isn't this better
than the poorly furnished hut we lived
in, and have acfull pipe, too?"
YES" replied the wife; I'VE should
be content now, for we shall be warm
in the winter in house SO well built"
But one day later the husband said:
Wife, go to the mouse and tell him If
he is prince in disguise he can just
as we'll build us handsome CASTLE"
"But, husband" pleaded the wife,
I'VE are comfortable here, what more
do we need?"
do as tell you," said the husband.
So the wife went to the hole in the
pantry wall and called
Mouse, mouse, pray come to me,
have a favor to ask of thee"
What is it?" asked the mouse, put
ting his head out.
my husband wishes a CASTLE" she
said; "he is tired of living in small
house."
"Close your eyes, turn around three
times, and then open your eyes," said
the mouse, "and you will have your
wish"
The wife did so, and when she
opened her eyes she did not know

Now They Are Not Afraid to Let the
Children Run Outdoors
Freely.

Every mother knows how hard it is
to keep children, especially boys, in
doors in bad weather. And yet if they
run out it usually means Group or
colds. Carthage, Mo-, mothers have
solved this problem by keeping plenty
of fresh air in tho bedroom at night,
and applying a hot application of
Vick's Vap-O-Rub at the first sign of
trouble.
Vap-O-Rub really is a remarkable
preparation. 1t is the invention of
q North Carolina druggist, and is
universally used in the South, but was
introduced here only last winter.
1t comes in salve form and is ap-
piled externally over the throat and
chest. Externally-it acts like poul-
tice or plaster, relieving the tightness
and soreness. Internally-it acts like
a vapor-lamp, except that you do not
have to keep the windows shut and
the fresh air excluded as you do with
the old fashioned vapor-lamp. Vick's
is so made that the body heat re-
leases the ingredients in the form OF
vapors. These vapors are inhaled with
every breath through the air passages
to the lungs, carrying the medication
right to the affected parts.

Grove says she just rubs Vap-O-Rub
well over the throat and chest and
covers with a warm flannel cloth, and
the vapors arising open his head.
She also stops his cough by letting
him swallow a small piece. In fact,
Mrs. Grove writes US quite a long
letter and ends by saying-"I would

A SPLENDID MEETING

The ladies of Glenwood who had a
part in the meeting held at the Odeon
Thursday evening under the auspices
of the Woman's party have every rea.
son to feel congratulated upon the sue
cess of the affair. The attendance was
almost equal to that of last Monday
evening when congressman and a
would-be governor were the speakers,
and the addresses were far superior to
the Democratic brand
Mrs. E. C. Kingsbury presided and
in a few clever remarks introduced
Mrs. j. H. Mackaye of Washington who
pleasantly enlightened the audience as
to the struggle which the women have
made in behalf of suffrage in the na-
tional capitol. She paid her respects
to President Wilson and Congressman
Taylor in no uncertain fashion and
gently resented the reference which
Mr.. Taylor made to her party last Mon
day evening.
Mrs. Harriott Stanton Blatch was the
principal speaker of the evening but
she was suffering from severe COLI
and throat affection which somewhat
interfered with an otherwise eloquent
address in behalf of the cause. She
spoke in part as follows:
l wish to speak to you as Demo
crat, though l must frankly admit as
a recalcitrant member of the party.
L speak, too, as voter, and as such
1 appreciate the folly of the advice
given to us by non-voting women OF
the east, who, in criticizing the Wo,
man s party, fail to see the position OF
enfranchised women. The Woman :
party is merely group of voters
pledged to place the enfranchisemcnt
of the women of the United States
above all other political questions.
Enfranchised men have used their 20.
litical power to secure freedom for
other men. The time has come when
free women will use their political
power to enfranchise other women.
Some eastern women in crisiciZing 2
the Woman's party say to us, 'Oh,
but you must be non-partisan, and you
must not make votes for women po-
litical issue.' Thus speaks the dis
enfranchised woman. Having no vote,
she does not have to decide who will
cast her ballot. ! am voter. / can It

fore crowd of $4,000 Colorado men
and women, which filled Denver's i'm
mense Auditorium to overflowing,
Colonel Roosevelt last night added an
other biting chapter to the record of
his indictment of Woodrow Wilson
and the Democratic administration.
His speech followed one of the most
stirring political demonstrations Colo.
RADIO has ever known.
he said:
I speak to you especially of the
prime duty of self-defense. I abhor un-
Just and wanton war. / shall always
do, as I always have done, everything
to secure honorable and lasting peace.
But 1t 10 folly to say that we shall new
er be engaged in war. The events Of
the past two years show that as the
world now is, such an assumption by
any nation is not only folly, but GRIM
inal folly. Washington, who was the
very opposite of the pacifists of his
day, said that this country could not
expect always to avoid war. His words
this nation continues it's national ex-
time In the future to be involved in
war exactly as at times In the past it
has been involved in war. Our prime
duty is SO to prepare as to minimize the
number of occasions when war will
come and to ensure that when 1t does
come, it shall result neither dishonor-
-, al, ,,.l,t A
people. At this moment we are not
ready In any way, physically or spiritu-
ally, to face a serious foe.' We owe this
lamentable fact to several causes, but
especially to the evil leadership given
our people in high places. Mr.. Wilson
has not only been too proud to fight.
but has also been too proud to prepare.

GubernatoriaI Candidate Made
Sorry Mess Appealing to
Temperance Voters
CROWD WAS RESTLESS

At the Odeon theater last MONDAY
evening good sized crowd greeted
Julius c. Gunter. Democratic candidate
for governor and Edward T. Taylor of
this city, candidate to succeed himself
in congress from this district.
c. II. Leckenby, candidate for state
auditor against Ollie Thorson, and R. Fl.
Higgins, candidate for state treasurer,
occupied seats on the platform but
spoke very briefly.
Senator Napier presided and intro
duccd the speakers, taking advantage
of the opportunity to make little
campaign ammunition for himself,
which of course was perfectly per-
missable
Judge Gunter proved several degrees
less than lukewarm and in that cold,
precise and calculating manner which
has become habit with him through
expounding the law from the bench,
he occupied an hour and a half, pre-
sumably for the purpose of advising
the people to vote for him for governor
but serving in reality to contrast him
in the minds of the audience, with the
virile, courageous and manly specimen
who now occupies the executive chair,
all to the disparagement of the speak
er of the evening who went about his
task with precision and nicely as
though addressing the supmere court
OF the United States on. some very i'm.
rortant case.
In his claim for support from the
temperance people because of his dry
proclivities Judge Gunter very conven-
icntly forgot that only two years ago
he supported this same Democratic party
on a wet or local option platform, the
ticket at that time being made up Of
decidedly wet candidates.
So prosy and out of harmony with
his audience that several of his hearers
got up and left the room before he had
finished, very rudely declaring they
had quite enough of that sort of car
gument'.
Senator Napier's introduction of Cor
gressman Taylor was about as funny
to Glenwood citizens, possessed with
memories, as was a similar performance
few weeks ago when Mr.. Taylor
acted as chairman and the conditions
were reversed.
Mr.. Taylor reviewed the work of con-
gress, not forgetting of course the very
important part he has played in the
deliberations of that great body. He
made great plea for the Progressive
vote, became humorous by his reference
TO "Hekept. u.s. out Of war Wilson y
bawled out' the speakers of the
Woman s party who were seated in
the audience, told the home people how
much he loved them and prophesied
Democratic victory on November L.
The meeting was well attended but
devoid of enthusiasm.
