I'VE ARE There
and over ON BONDS
MADISON AND LAKE COUNTY
ovERsUBSCRIBE BONDS.
THIS MEANS A VICTORY
EVERY DISTRICT AND SUBDIVI-
SION IN LAKE COUNTY
MADE GOOD.

When the city and county commit
tees interested in the floating of the
second Liberty loan cast up their fig
ures today they found that both the
city and county had oversubscribed
it's apportionment. The whole coun-
ty absorbed s270,0O0, and the city
came in with a total of Sis, 900.
The exact figures cannot be an
nounced until the whole is cast up
and added more carefully on the re-
ports to the federal reserve banks.
Every district and subdivision in
the county made good. The commit
tee expressed themselves as being ex-
tremely pleased at the result, but
not surprised. The enthusiasm and
cooperation of the citizens, almost to
person, was encouraging, and the
extra work undertaken by some are
especially deserving of regard.
In the previous loan many had to
be cut down from the amount for
which they subscribed. due to the
large oversubscription. This loan
was nominally for 100000, 600.
The government has the option of is
suing up to s4,500,000,00 to sup
ply a possible over subscription to
that amount. In the estimates of
this noon il was largely the opinion
that every dollar of the whole issue
would be absorbed.
So again the country has arisen in
support of the men fighting for the
freedom of the world. Again the
government has received a vote of
the confidence and support of a unit
ed country. If the high priests of
war now think that this country is
torn with strife and incapable of
united action against the great CEN
trail European country they should
take one look at these returns and
let figures talk. For if this oversub-
scription for a popular bond says
anything at all, it says it is in favor
of pursuing the broil to the bitter
end.
Even late yesterday names came in
with subscriptions. In some in
stances persons phoned orders in.
fearing the issue would fail in the
city or county. In these cases the
banks and committees phoned their
orders to the federal reserve bank
for the ninth district, in order to get
the names listed within the time
limit. The names added from the
lists of yesterday follow:

You would think IL was spring.
With his white jacket and his beaver
cap,
Trying his best to steal a nap,
For he is as busy as he can be.
The way he works Is a puzzle to me,
And the meals he serves Is pleas
ure to see,
So that is why all the people begin
To flock in at the Inside Inn.

The Chase

T SUPPOSE that l swooned for n minute
/ or two. At any rate. | remember a
long and very curious dream. such dream
as Is evolved by a patient under laughing
gas that is very clear and vivid Mt the
time, but Immediately afterward slips from
the minds grasp as water does from the
clenched hand. 1t was something to the
effect that all those hundreds Of skeleton
elephants rose and marshaed themselves
before me, making obeisance to me by bend
ing their bony knees, because, as | quite
understood l was the only human being
that had ever escaped from Jana. More
over, on the foremost elephants skull Hans
was perched like mahout, giving words of
command to their serred ranks and explain
ing to them that 1t would be very con-
veniont if they would carry their tusks, for
which they had no further use, and pile
them in a certain place. forget where
that must be near n good road to facilitate
their subsequent transport TO a land where
they would be made into billiard balls and
the backs of ladies' hairbrushes. Next,
through the fgments of that retreating
dream | heard the uHdoubted voice of Hans
himself, which of course ! knew to be alb.
surd as Hans was lost and doubtless dead,
saying:

BILLY BUMPUS AND ROVER
By Farmer Smith

One afternoon when things were too quiet
for Billy Bumpus, the goat, he started
out for a walk. He had not gone far when
he met Rover, the big dog.
Morning" said Billy Bumpus, as saucy
as could be- for he had never liked Rover,
anyway.
TITS afternoon, by the shadows" replied
Rover. Anything, except a goat would
know it Is afternoon"
Excuse me, I forgot to look at my wrist
watch" said Billy with a laugh.
Wrist watch"
That's what | said. You have big ears.
why don't you listen when you are spoken
to?
II do when somebody worth while is
speaking,
This nettled Billy so that he had to stand
still for a time until he could think what
to say next. Then ne said slowly, Your
tongue is always hanging out and I think
II you would talk less 1t might be glad to
stay in your mouth
"Just because my tongue sticks out II IL
no sign 1 am always talking" answered
Rover How do dogs perspire, If not with
their tongues?"
Don't know. Never was dog. Glad I
am not" snapped Billy.
DO you know would like to see vo,,
get a good beating, but l haven't time TO
give Il to you myself. If there is one thing
the hired man loves to do it is to BEAT
you"
At the word BEAT, Billy jumped for ba
was still sore from the last beating the
hired man gave him.
Rover looked at him from the corner ~
his eye, while Billy ventured: That hired
man is the meanest man ever knew He is
so mean
'You Judge people by the way they trea,
YOU. Now, i judge them by the way I
want them to treat me, and they are gen.
orally very kind to me because am kind
to them"
"who ever heard of dog being kind p,

SON I'm LAW

n very wild one. OF Gripping him with the
little Hurdey rifle Indeed, he was about
to fire at the hind leg when Marut made his
run FOR life and plunged into the lake, Then
he Crawled on to lead me away TO the
camel, but when he was within n few yards
the chase returned our way and Marut was
killed
From that moment he waited for an op-
rurtuntiy 20 shoot Jana in the only spo.
where so soft q bullet would. as he knew,
have the slightest chance of iniuring him
Vitally ly--namely,i in the eye-for he was sure
that its penetration would not be sufficient
to reach the vitals through that thick hide
and the mass of flesh behind. with an in
hnite ana wonderful patience he waited,
knowing that my life or death hung in the
balance. While Jana held his foot over
me, while he felt me with his trunk, still
Hans waited, balancing the arguments for
and against firing upon the scales of ex-
pcrlcnCc In his clever old mind and in the
end coming to a right and wise conclusion
At length his chance came, the brute eS-
posed its eye. and by the light of the clear
moon Hans, always n very good shot at a
short distance when it was not necessary to
allow for trajectory and wind, let drive
and hit. The bullet did not get the brain as
he had hoped il had not strength for that.
but it destroyed this left eye and gave Jana
all about me and everything else except
escape.
Such was the Hottcntots tale as l picked
it up from his laconic, colorless. Dutch
patois sentences, then and afterward-a
very wonderful tale / thought But for
him, his fidelity and his bushman's cum
ming, where should have found myself

IN THIS COLD WEATHER

concealing it at dawn in the cave. The
days he spent up a tall tree, whence he
could watch all that went on in the town
beneath, living meanwhile on some food
which he carried in q bag tied to the saddle,
helped out by green mealies which he stole
from a neighboring field.
Thus he saw most Of what passed In the
town. including the desolation wrought by
the fearful tempest Of hail, which. being in
their cave, both he and the camel escaped
without harm. on the next evening from
his post of outlook up the tree, where he
had now some difficulty in hiding himself
because the hail had stripped off all its
leaves, he saw Marut and myself brought
from the guest house and taken away by
the escort Descending and running to the
cave, he saddled the camel and started in
pursuit plunging into the forest and hiding
there when he perceived that the escort
were leaving us.
Here he waited until they had gone by on
their return journey So close did they
pass to him that he could overhear their
talk, which told him they expected, or
rather were sure, that we should both be de-
stroyed by the elephant Jana. their devil
god. TO whom the camelmen had been
already sacrificed. After they had de-
parted he remounted and followed us. Here
/ asked him why he had not overtaken us
before we came TO the cemetery of ele-
plants, as l presumed he might have done,
since he stated that he was close in our
rear. This indeed was the case, for It was
the head of the camel 1 saw behind the
thorn trees when | looked back, and not
the trunk Of an elephant, as had sup
posed.
At the time he would give me no direct
answer, Except that he grew muddled, as
he had already suggested. and thought 1,
best TO keep in the background and see
what happened Long afterward, however
he admitted to me that he acted on a pre-
sentiment.
1T seemed to me, Baas," he said, that
your reverend father was telling me that
/ should do best to let you two go on and
not show myself, since II / did SO we should
all three be killed, as one of us must walk
whom the other two could not desert.
"whereas, If left you as you were. one
of you would be killed and the other escape
and that the one to be killed would not be
YOU, Baas. All of which came about as
the Spirit spoke In my head. for Marut
was killed, who did not matter, and-you
know the rest. Baas"
