Climbing the Walls.

Climbing the Walls.
SITIoW shall we cross the river?"
III said Rollo, the monkey,
looking at the ripping stream that
stretched between them and the
great wall that surrounded the tam
gled wood where stood the stately
castle in the tower Of which was
imprisoned the beautiful but sad
faced maiden.
II will carry you across" de-
clared Billy, and he led Peggy and
the monkey to the bank of the river
There he took off his shoes and
stockings and rolled up the legs Of
his trousers. Now, climb on my
back" he said to Peggy, and she did
as he said, riding pick-a-back. Rollo
mounted to Peggy's shoulders, hold
ing in his arms the rope ladder
which Billy had made to scale the
walls of the castle. Thus loaded
down, Billy stepped out bravely into
the water. Swifter and swifter and
and deeper and deeper flowed the
steadily forward, testing the ground
at each step, SO that he would not
step on smooth rocks, nor sink in
soft sand.
1t was deeper than he thought in
the center, and the water gurgled
around his legs as If seeking to
sweep him away, but Billy was
sturdy and the weight of Peggy and
the monkey held him steady, so on
he went to the safety of the shore.
Here they faced the great stone
wall that surrounded the tangled
wood in which stood the castle. 1t
was very smooth wall with sharp
spikes at the top, and it was so high
that when Peggy stood on Billy's
shoulders and Rollo stood on Peg
gy's head he was less than half way
up.
II guess we will have to try the
gate" said Peggy, but when they
looked along the wall to the gate
they saw it was guarded by iron
bars, and beside it was a Waterman
sitting in a little house. There was
no chance of getting past either gate
or Waterman.
"Ha. l have a plan. I haven't
played cowboy for nothing" ex-
claimed Billy, and he took from his
waist a clothes-line lasso that was
fastened there. He whirled the
lasso around his head and sent the
loop flying upward. 1t settled over
one Of the spikes, and Billy pulled it
tight. Before Billy or Peggy could
say a word, Rollo had grasped the
rope and gone scrambling to the top,
where he perched, grinning and
chattering.
Billy tied the rope ladder to the
lasso, and Rollo pulled it up, fasten-
ing it to the spike. Billy climbed

What Makes Trouble,

Camp Hill, Ala, Oct. ITO the
Editor of The Bee: Everywhere
there is violence. 1t is but a short
stride from the Boston police strike
to the mob at Omaha The strik-
ing steel workers are not much bet
ter than the mob at Montgomery
Samuel Gompers openly declares
that he will not obey the Cummins
bill if it becomes a law. The par
Tor socialist has for years preached
sedition, and every sort of revolu-
ton. We are now reaping the re-
suits. This is the time when every
mans utterance should be sure, and
it should be moderate.
Here in the south it is the most
trying that l have known in my %
years residence. Too much foolish
talk has been INDUCED in, both
north and south. At a critical time
in the career of Booker Washington
he said to me that his wisest and
best friend was the white man at
the south. And among these friends,
he prayed that he might draw his
last breath. Here he died, greatly
honored and loved by both races.
/ came south years ago. I have seen
the negro in his upward progress
all these years. I have long since
come to believe with all my soul that
the average white man is just and
kind to the average negro. 1t is
little short of an imposition for
northern people to come down here
and try to organize the negro so
that he may get more rights" In
this community am the only north
ern man. / could not ask for kinder
neighbors, nor men with a finer
sense of justice. There has never
been a mob here. There will never
be mob anywhere, if men will
speak in moderation, and act with
that charity which an honest man
must possess. Let us hail no man as
leader who breaches hatred and
revolution. LYMAN WARD.

Editor of The Bee: Please permit
me to congratulate you for speaking
the plain truth when the New York
Evening World asked your opinion
in regards to the late rioting in
Omaha. l must say you are GER

failed nor feared to tell the truth
when necessary and should have
been United States senator.

FILL OUT INCOME TAX
BLANKS WITHOUT DELAY
ADVICE OF COLLECTORS

The deputy revenue collectors, in
the marshaps office in the federal
building, complain that they are not
kept busy as persons who should
make out their income tax returns
are not calling TO attend to this i'm
portant matter. They fear that there
is a disposition on the part of those
concerned to hold off until the last
minute and then there will be such
a congestion that the business cannot
be handled without causing hcon-
venience to those who participate in
the eleventh hour rush.
All single persons who earned ST.
600 or more and all married persons
who earned $4,000 or more, including
income of their dependents, must file
income tax returns. There IS no use
trying to eyade the law, ana the col
lectors urge that all those who are
required to fill out blanks and pay
the stipulated tax attend to the matter
at once,
The office will be open each week
day from 8 a. m. to D. m. and on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
nights of each week from TO . p. m.
This arrangement will be effective UNI
til March Is, by which time all re-
ports must be turned in.

WHEAT PRICE BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
WITHOUT CHANGE
Measure Carrying Billion DOL
lar appropriation to Guar
antee Prices Now Goes to
Conference,

Washington, Feb 2S.-The admin
istration bill appropriating $1,000
600 900 to fulfill the government
guaranteed wheat price to the farmer
for the 1919 crop was passed at 1880
o'clock this morning by the senate,
without material amendment, and
now goes to conference.
No change was made by the SEN
ate in the house provisions for inn
port and export restrictions, or in
the limitation to June /, 1920, of the
operation of the act. Efforts to re-
duce the appropriation and to strike
out the licensing provisions failed.
After adopting an amendment to
deny benefits of the bill to growers
of 1919 spring wheat who did not
grow 1918 spring wheat, the senate
reversed it's action and by vote of
81 TO 23 truck out the amendment.
The only important amendment
adopted b ythe senate was a rider
amending the cotton futures act so
as to restrict speculation In cotton
and give the government larger con-
troll over exchanges.
Upon motion of Senator Reed of
Missouri, democrat, who denounced
as "barbarous' the penalties for viz
lations OF the blltS licensing ana olh-
er regulations, the senate reduced
tne nenaltles to a maximum fine OF
$1,000.
Efforts of southern senators to add
a rider to the bill calling for the re-
moval of all export embargo restric-
tons against cotton failed, the sem
ate voting down the amendment, 36
to %, after a long debate in the
course of which Republican Leader
Lodge said adoption of the amend
ment would violate the armistice
terms which call for maintaining the
status quo with Germany until the
peace treaty il completed.
After dlsposing of the wheat mea-
sure, the senate went into executive
session to consider nominations. 1t
finally adjourned at 1910 o'clock after
one of the longest night sessions OF
recent years
