up within an inch OF his nose.
Il wonder" no began, II wonder why
my eyes and face do not get cpld7"
suddenly he saw the funniest looking lit
tie man sitting on the edge OF the bedpost
al. ''''"S
Slowly the tears trickled down the little
mans face from eyes as big as sauoers
They had long way 10 CO. for the little
man had head larger than his body.
which made his face very long.

TITS all the way you look at Il. The
fear Is In little boys and girls heads
NEVER In the thing they fear. II you do
not fear me, then am not 70 be feared. /"
The hobgoblin smiled 80 Willie could see his
teeth, which looked like saws
"oh, yes" replied the boy THE Good
Dream Fairy comes TO see me often. We
have beautiful times together"
Il wonder that she does" Tho eyes OF
the hobgoblin began TO shine with a
strange hight.
"And why do you wonderr' asked willie,

Fine Horse Scared to Death.

Thursday of last week as G.. B.
Mcfarland was driving in from
his farm a short distance north
east. of town he met two boys in
a sleigh driving a white horse to
which was attached several bells.
The mare which he was driving
apparently did not see the sleigh
until close up OH it when she gave
a sudden jump to one side, but
made no attempt to run away.
After going few feet Mr.. Nc
Farland noticed that the mare
was trembling and appeared to be
weaving from side to side and af-
ter a few steps fell over on her
side and was dead before Mr.. Nc
Farland could get out of the bug
gy.
The mare, which was owned by
Mrs. Mcfarland, was one of the
finest horses in the city, fine
driver and good saddler always
full OF life and go, but SO gentle
and tractablc that lady could
drive her anywhere. She was of
the DR.. Cox strain and was the
last of the fine driving horses
owned by the Mcfarland family.

PACKERS FINES REDUCED.
Each Of Five Companies Must
... Pay $12,500 and Pro Rata
Of Cost of Litigation.

jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. IA
An order made by the State Su.
preme Court in banc this after.
noon reduces the fines of the
packing companies from 1925, 600
to $500.
Each of the five companies
found guilty Of violation of the
antitrust laws will pay $12,500,
and its pro rata of the costs in
Cured in the litigation.
This order was in pursuance of
an agreement made some time
ago between Attorney General
John T. Barker, representing the
State, and Frank Hagerman of
Kansas City, representing the
packing companies. /
Under the terms of this agree
ment the companies dismissed
their appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The fines are to be paid to the
Clerk of the Supreme Court at
once and will be turned into the
revenue fund. The Judgment of
custer against the companies is
stayed on condition that they OBJ
serve the antitrust laws in the
future and obey the mandate of
the court.
This reduction of fine for the
packing companies follows the
precedence followed in the har-
vester and the lumber cases in
which fines were cut I'M half.
The judgments against Armour
& Co., Swift & Co., Morris & Co.,
Hammond Packing Company and
St. Louis Dressed Beef and Pro-
vision Company were delivered
in the Supreme Court February
8, 1915.
The appeal has been pending in
the Supreme Court of the United
States until it's dismissal a few
days ago.

AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT

Secretary Of Statc-clcct, John
l.. Sullivan has made no mistake
in the selection of a chief clerk
for his office during the next four
years. In choosing -Winchcll W.
'Iamison of Rich Hill to this i'm
portant post, he has appointed
probably one of the hest qualified
young men in the state and one
whose un4urstioncd ability will
add to the success of his admins
tration. Probably no office of
the five state executive depart
ments require SO careful and so
strict All attention of the mass of
important detail as does the Of
flee of the Secretary of State and
upon the shoulders of the chief
clerk the greater part of the SUI
pervision of the various depart
ments of that office necessarily
falls. Mr.. Jamison with his val
liable business experience, his
wide acquaintance and his ability
to meet the public will prove a
valuable man for the place and
his appointment is indeed crafty
ing to Southwest Missouri.

block from a cedar tree inserted
III the top of the can. A half
inch hole was bored almost to the
top of the block and another hole
bored in the side Of the block
In this hole was inserted an old
rifle barrel that connected the i'm
provised still to the worm. This
was half inch gas pipe coiled
up in 15-gallon wooden key.
All that was necessary to do bust
ness with the outfit was to fill
the cream can with fermented
mash made from corn meal, fill
the keg with water, build a fire
under the crea mean and the dis
tillery was in full blast. The ca
pacity was one gallon of
