along the winding course Of Rock

ed on, both slightly piqued, slight
ly embarrassed, to continue their
meanderings along the shore of
the river.
Mother Naturef No, Her Daughters.
But it really wasn't Mother Ma
ture that they were so interested
in seeing. but her daughters-fve
of her daughters, in particular,
who, according to report, had on
the previous evening attacked a
defenseless male person when they
caught him peeping from behind
some brush while they were enjoy
ing the cooling waters of the river,
Just as Eve or September Morn

OF them had happened to have
lived within trolley distance OF
Rock river.
The two tired business men, who
so unintentionally met in their hunt
for the strip OF unfrequented
shore along the river" where the
quintet of water nymphs are said
to have been taking their nightly
dip, were only representative Of
scores of others who were also out
enjoying the air and the scenery
in the same region and who had
the misfortune to meet acquaint-
ances, but who invariably managed,
after a stammered word or two, to
get await by themselves again.
Woods Full OF 'em-RiVer, Too.
While the shores and the woods
were full of 'em, something might
be said in a similar vein of the
river itself 1t is not unusual to
see motor boats plying hither and
thither on the smooth surface of
the water on an evening such as
last evening was. but ordinarily the
river isn't so full of them that they
can hardly avoid running each 9TH
er down. While it has been the
contention of many fishermen that
the best run of fish was to be
found in the main channel of the
river, there seemed to have been
a unanimous decision reached last
evening that there is nothing to
such a belief and that the fish, if
there are any in the river at all,
are always lurking near the shore

BATTERIES AND BATTERIES.
A Present Day Parable.

A few years ago an apartment
house invaded one of the choicest
residence streets of a suburban
town. It was a satisfactory apart
ment house so far as apartments
go-it had a magnificent entrance
with iron doors, dazzling lights,
marb1ed halls, and all that, but in
stead of providing its own lawn
and yards, it occupied the width of
the whole lot right up to the side
walk, utterly disregarding the set
back line established by the pri-
Vate houses on either side. Why
should it equip itself with its own
light and air when It might steal
these from its neighbors? Why
should It plant flowers and shrubs
when these were SO generously
provided by adjoining owners? So
instead of occupying only a quar-
ter of its lot area, as had been done
by the one-fzmi1y dwellings, the
apartment house left only a quar-
ter of its plot open
And in the beginning the opera
ton proved a huge financial sue
cess. Being six stories high, the

the value of its own site, but it
ruthlessly destroyed the building
values in q large area.
Now the tenants of the apart
ment house had little furniture
and no children, but they all ran
their own cars, albeit the garage
facilities in the neighborhood were
not of the best Most OF the cars
were stored at a distance in the
poorer part of the suburb in small
batteries" Of two or three porta-
Bile garages erected back of work
ingmen's homes.
The apartment house had been
built for two or three years when
the owner OF one of these batter
les" happened to think of what
profits would bless the erection of
a modern garage located convent
emily to the apartment house. A
survey of the real estate market
demonstrated that the two dwell

There is school building in Terrs
Haute which is very old, reports the
Indianapolis News. Because they
are intending to rebuild it at some
time soon, school officials order Just
the most necessary repairs and send
used instead of new furniture. This
year they sent it . new principal.
A few days after the arrival some
carpenters came to repair the doors.
"But / thought they were going to
give us new doors," abe protested to
them.
"Oh, no, ma'am," rapidly spoke
up one Of the men, who had done re-
pair work at this building before.
Don't you know they never send
anything first class to this building I
They just take the dilapidated
things from the new buildings
when they're 20 nobody else will have
them and then send them here"
The new principal turned to her
teachers, who could not hide their
smiles. "Of course, I'm I little bit
sensitive" she told them, 'but still
I'm sort Of relieved. He might have
