All during the next day they
were busy making ghost suits for
themselves, and covering pony
and cart with white. That night
they got into the cart and drove to
the Goosetown district. After
catching several of the Goosetown
boys, and nearly soaring them to
death they drove to cabin in a
neighboring woods. Here they were
made to promise to go to work in
one of the factories near there.
After making them promise to do
this they were locked in the cabin,
from which they soon escaped, how
ever.
The Coosetown boys made good
their promise to work, and never
once had an idea who the ghasts
were. The Oak Street boys and
the Goosetown boys were soon on
good terms and later the Goose
town boys joined the "Aviators
Club" and the proposed Tourna-
ment was held.

One day as was walking
through the streets OF Gloucester,
England, my attention was arrested
/ by the sight Of an upright, broad
shouldered old fellow, walking at
leisurely gait about half square
in front of me.
Just as I came abreast of him !
noticed that he had wooden leg.
The point of the same ! also no
ticed was descending on banana
skin which some careless boy had
thrown there. Before | could warn
him he had stepped on it, and had
started to obey the laws of gravity
and was rapidly descending toward
the sidewalk.
AS he fell he made a clutch at me
and caught my arm. Now ! was
only fourteen and though ! was as
strong as the average boy Of my
age, he had caught me unawares,
SO down we went together.
In some unexplainable way he
fell on my ankle. ! felt a sharp
pain and then became unconscious
When l came to, | found myself
in a bed with the old man by my
side He informed me that he had
carried me to his own home which
was not far from the scene of our
downfall. He had also notified my
parents ard doctor. He said his
name was John Bull, an English
man, and formerly sailor.
The doctor came first. By this
time my ankle was so swollen that
they had to cut of the shoe. Need
less to say it was also very pain
full. The doctor told me that it
was very badly sprained.
A short time after, my parents
arrived and l was taken home.
My ankle healed very slowly. but
almost every day the old man came
to see me and spin yarns" as he
called stories.
The following story was the most
interesting to me. 1t took place
when he was mate Of the brig,
! Nancy, which was employed in
bringing English exports to Cape
Town in South Africa and taking
raw material back to England. One
day when they we're almost to the
equator q terrific hurricane arose
and blew them hundreds of miles
out Of their course.
The ship In this unlocked foz
emergency had run out Of fresh
water. So when they sighted a
large island not far away the mate

That's the vision Of military ex-

Many are agreed that il the war

To that end airplanes are going

The Auiators' Club

Smithville was a small country
town with a population Of about a
thousand people. The boys of the
town were divided into two groups,
the Oak Street boys, and the Goose
town boys. The Oak Street boys
lived In the better part of town,
while the Goosetown boys lived
across the railroad in the poorer
district. The Oak Street boys haG
organized an "Aviator's Club,
in the meetings Of which they bull,

the proud owner of several of these
machines. The Goosetown boys,
however, spent most of their time
gambling and fighting. One after

When the "Aviators Club
reached the field that afternoon
they found that the enemy had en-.

toward them, but were overpowered
and held down while some of the
Goosetown boys destroyed their
much priced airplanes.
That evening there was a meet
ing of the Oak Street boys at the
presidents home, at which it was
decided to dress up as ghosts and
scare the Goosetown boys, who
were rather superstitious, into lead
ing better life.

THE TRAMP

One warm spring morning l was
washing the dishes when l heard
loud knock at the door. Expecting
to see my neisAbor. Mrs. Brown.
wanting to borrow something, I was
completely surprised to see a tall
rough figure looming in the door
way before me. He wore a ragged
sweater, a torn cap on his head,
which was about two sizes too
small. He had Q kindly expression
Notwithstanding the long beard
which covered the lower half Of
his face. His shoes, which were
very much the worse for wear,
must have had a stylish look about
them when they were new. On the
whole, he looked as II he had just
stepped out of the ragbag. and /
should imagine he was about -
years Of age.
His first words, were intended, I
suppose, to be in q kind tone, were
spoken harshly.
Madam, could you spare me
bite to eat? / have been travelling
for several days and am very hun
cry"
was not in the habit of feeding
tramps, and was just about to say
NO" when l looked at him again.
He did look sadly in need Of help,
and was just wishing for someone
to move a heavy table that was up
stairs. Why not let this man move
It and then give him some break
fast? ! stood for several seconds
trying to make up my mind and at
last decided to do 1t. He seemed
willing to move the table and led
the way upstairs, while he followed.
We went into the room where the
table was and / noticed he looked
at the dresser rather peculiarly. He
was very strong and picked up the
table as IL 1t weighed nothing at all.
gave him some breakfast which
he ate as II the had had nothing
to eat for more than several days.
He thanked me kindly, in his gruif
way, and moved slowly across the
yard and out OF sight.
That evening l read in the paper
about the capture Of man having
/ the same description as my visitor
of the morning. He was caught try
ing to escape from the town with
a large sum Of money taken from
the leading bank Of the city. ! re-
solved to be more careful about
the kind of tramps fed.

some. The found large spring
which was sufficient for for their
needs and setting the men to fill
the casks the mate walked down
to the beach
The day was hot and the water
looked inviting. The mate stripped,
threw his clothes in the boat and
plunged in. Before long the men
had the water and were ready to
go back to the ship. They started
and the mate swan SO as to inter
cept them about half mile from
the ship.
He was was not far away when
the man in the bow of the boat
went white and he screamed, "a
shark, right behind YOU The
mate looked and sure enough there
was sharp, knife-like fin, cutting
the water not ten yards behind him
OF course he redoubled his efforts
and the men in the boat did theirs
too. Just as the mate grasped the
edge of the boat, the shark turned
on it's side and siezed the mate s
leg just below the knee and bit it
off. Luckily some of the men in
the boat knew a little of surgery.
They quickly made tournequet
and stopped the flow of blood He
recovered, as we already know, but
had to have a wooden stump in
stead of a leg.
l asked him if he let the shark
have his leg without a struggle.
Then the old sailor replied, "Of
course, l make a point Of never ar
guing with a shark"

keep right on turning them out.
The aviation branch Of the train
ing schools will be enlarged to
train enough pupils to meet the
need
The first thing of course is to
put enough planes in the field to
keep the allied battle lines free of
German craft.
The next step, experts agree,
would be the bombing Of Berlin
and other important towns, along
with ammunition plants and other
war factories.
Then the bombing of Berlin
would have a psychological as well
as a practical effect. 1t would

bring home to the German people
in an emphatic manner that they
are a beaten people and that 1t is
useless to continue the waste Of
lives and resources.
The building Of bombing planes
is considered OF prime importance
and is being well handled. John D..
Ryan, head Of the aircraft division
Of the war, is saying nothing and
saving out airplanes, so to speak.
He has spent considerable time
looking over the airplane factories
equipment. His first task will be
to getting all the factories working
at capacity. Then he will have to
plan expansions.

President Threatens Edictain Mes

| Washington, Sept. I3.-Strikers a,
Bridgeport must either work or fight;
| This was the threat addressed to
them today in telegram from Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t was the first applica-
non of Provost Marshal General
Crowders work or fight order and
grew out of the refusal OF the men to
abide by the recent decision in their
case by the war labor board.

Association of Machinists and other
striking workmen of Bridgeport, /,
These include the men who are work
ing in the various munitions plants in
the city of Bridgeport.
The president calls upon them to
work or forfeit their right to deferred
classification ON the ground they are
employed in an essential industry.
The Presidents telegram was. in,
part. as follows:
1T is of the highest importance to
secure the plans with reasonable rules
and procedure for.~the settlement Of
industrial disputes. Having exercised
the drastic remedy with recalcitrant
employers. it is my duty to use means
equally well adapted to the end with

ments in this regard.
Both claim control of the next
House. Foss claims reduction OF
Democratic control of the Senate
Ferris claims a safe Democratic mar
gin IN the upper house.
But the singular absence Of contro-
versal issues from the campaign
clearly has nonplussed the leaders.
Both parties are appealing to the peo-
pie on a "win-the-war" platform.
Candidates for reelection are point
ing to their records of support for the
administration irrespective of party.
Candidates, both Republican and
Democratic, are. promising to support
to,the utmost all war measures.
This is unusual, but recent events
have shown it to be the only sane
course for an aspiring politician. The
result of President Wilson's condem-
nation of Senator Vardman of Mis-
sissipi and Senator Hardwick Of
Georgia has shown that the voters Of
the country are with the President in
hiE demand for legislators who will
support and not hamper him.
All the primaries except those in
