when the pack approached them. and
the wolves quickly tore one of their

Mr.. Littlepage found it at the edge

The image is rudely carved out OF

six inches in height and is well pre-

Hanston The party consisted of Bill
Hunn. John Ham. Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin
Seaman and William Warning They
went i'm two cars and took three grey
bounds iii each ear
Mr. Warning says that auto polo Is
mild compared with the way those two
ears chased across the prairie, ravines

his speedometer registered forty miles
one time when he dared to glance at 1t,
and he was afraid to look again.
They were going along between TWEEN

they started up the first coyote, and
when the biggest hound In Mr.. War

than half an hour These engagements
run up until about II o'clock, the pres
ident always leaving the office building
for the White House for luncheon not
later than ! o'clock
Usually the presidents afternoons
have been given over 10 recreation.
OF course the president played golf
but a few times during the railroad
crisis. He then only did so because DIR.
Grayson thought it advisable for him
to get little outdoor exercise. On the
motor rides and at the golf matches
Mrs. Wilson was always his compan-
ion.
The motor trips are usually over by
& o'clock, so there is ample time to pre-
pare for o'clock dinner Most Of the
presidents evenings have been devot
ed to work.
For the last few months there has
been great mystery about the White
House. Ii has to do with one of the
means which the president employs to
relax from his presidential duties. This
form of amusement is nothing more
than the popular game of pool, or,
speaking in more polite terms. pocket
billiards.
When the conditions are normal at
the White House the president has two
means of relaxation other than playing
billiards. He takes great delight in
reading poetry aloud. The other form
Of amusement is the reading Of detec
tive stories. He gets the latest books
of this sort.
President Wilson does not believe il
wise to keep the midnight oil burning.
Therefore the hour of IL o'clock usual
ly finds him in bed. More often it is
before IL o'clock that he retires. This
is necessary because of his early ris-

Of three children of Missouri family
was recalled recently by the reunion of
the three children who had been scpa-
rated during the long period, too young
at the time TO maintain correspond

and correspondence that the members
of the family were enabled to meet and
hold "A reunion after so long a separa-

Living near Laclede, Mo. was a fam
lily named Deer. Bushwhackers raided
their home, killed the parents and
drove the children into the woods
where they passed a night in terror
The children were Mary Deer. eight
years old; Addie Deer. six years Old
and a brother two years old. Upon the
girl of eight years devolved the task of
keeping the others with her and TO
vainly try to console them. Speaking
of the terrifying incidents of the night

charge, fed them and cared for them
for several days until he had succeed
ed in locating all three in homes, into
which they were finally adopted.
Thus torn apart, the children did not
again hear from each other. Mary
spent her entire girlhood as a nurse
girl in a family where there were sew
eral children, and from them she man
aged to learn TO read and write. She
was taken TO Illinois, where she mar
ried. Addie Deer was taken with the
brother to Crete, Neb., where the girl
married and where the boy grew to
manhood and where he still resides.
Addie married and lost her husband.
She was married a second time to IA
Mr.. Downing. owner of a large ranch

Some time ago the brother began a
