This has been an eventful day.

eloquence dispenser, who was boldly
pushing few feet ahead OF the re-
matnder Of the party, came to halt
with his hair standing straight up
"Sh!" he cried in typical Shaw man
ner. Creeping silently to his side the
party beheld two savage looking per-
sons. obviously members of that race
which, 1t is believed, Clarksburg is
populated.
The savages were sitting in a curl
GUS posture upon the ground and Doc.
tor Broomfield, morals expert, at once
declared they were performing some
form of devotional service. EXPIRES
sions such as II raise you ten" II call
you" and so forth, confirmed this opin-
ion.
With this indication of our nearness
to the city we propose to discover.
the greatest caution was observed anu
two hours later the outskirts OF the
city itself were sighted by Harvey
Paiste. who had climbed a tree TO bet
ter see how the land lay.
Drawing near to the city It was
thought best to disguise ourselves in
some manner to enable US to mingle
freely with the horde and make our
observations in safety. To this cad
we assumed the characters OF anna
teur home distillers and entered the
city unquestioned.
The first thing noticed was that
where civilized cities have streets
upon which traffic is maintained. this
city had nothing but sadly worn
wraiths of what had possibly once
been streets. There seemed to be +.
great celebration on foot and We
learned indirectly that homage was
being done to man who had invent.
ed a powerful kick to Coco Cola.
Shortly after our arrival the alb
sence from the party of Frank Shaw.
who IN accompanying the expedition
for the Warrington Telegram, was
noted, and after search we found him
joining in the devotions with party
such as we had witnessed this morn
ing in the woods.

This is a dismal place and sad and

they double up the tax and we're tho
