"Roperite" Strange Animal.

Much of this country is still COW
cred by forests which, according to
the best-informed lumbermen, harbor
strange and dangerous animals I'M
known to science. One of the most re-
markable of these, says William T.
Cox, state forester of Minnesota, is the
'roperite," which carries on the end of
its nose a sort of running moose. In
fact, this prolongation of its snout
takes the form of u laSso, with which
the creature captures jackrabbits and
other prey, pursuing the latter with
enormous leaps and bounds, and ut
tering the while ferocious yells that
can be heard for miles. Even human
beings are not safe from attack by the
''roperite." Stories are told of men,
and even women, pursued by this ex-
traordinary ANIMAL shared with its
ropelike proboscis, and dragged to
DEATH

he knows it fairly well. But Dave
wants to be great in his own way. If
he doesn't feel like stretching his legs

bodys business, so he does as he
pleuses.
McGraw has been grilling Robert

BLOWING SAND RIGHT SMART
Exhibition Game Between Giants and

usual Wind Storm.

Ball games have been called off on
account OF wctness, but seldom on ac-
count of too much dryness. This is
what happened to the Giants-Tigers
contest scheduled for oklahoma City
exhibition. 4 high wind took all the
moisture out of the diamond and scat
tered the sand diamond SO that 1t
couldn't be played on. The visiting
players took look at the situation
and refused 10 60 ON. "Why, the whole
inheld Is up In the air" said one of
them as the wind scooped a wagon
load of sand cut of second base and
deposited II In the pitchers box. Even
oklahoma City natives admitted II was
blowing fright smart" and did not
blame the players.

While D. B. Medearis was being a
good little boy and reciting his lesson
at Sunday school, his friends and rela-
tives were gathering at his home for
a surprise birthday dinner 1t being
his Goth birthday anniversary. Those
who enjoyed the day with him were:
Harry Myers and wife of Dayton,
Carl Medearis and wife of Centerville,
John Martindaie and wife of Green's
fork, Miss Ruby Medearis and Elmer
Myers. The play and entertainment
given by forty-five children and adults
Saturday night was an unusual sue
cess. The only unsuccessful part be-
ing that many people could not get
into the hall, as all standing room
was taken. The program as given has
been pronounced by those present as
one of the best ever given under Miss
Bulbs direction. The door receipts
were $42.20, fifteen dollars Of which
will go to the Red Cross, also a dollar
more donated by H. U. Johnson of
Richmond, who was not able to get in.
