knotty eyes from side to side,
taking a frst wondering view of the
world in which he had now so i'm

to look at himself: but he had, in
deed, no neck to turn: so that in the
endeavor to see his body he kept
circling around and around. without

legs were stiff and awkward, for there
were no knee joints in them: SO that
presently he bumped against Jack
Pumpkinhead and sent that parsonage
tumbling upon the moss that lined the
roadside.
Tip became alarmed at this accident,
az we'll as at the persistence of the
Saw Horse in prancing around in a
circle: so he called out:
whoa. Whoa. there!"
The Saw Horse paid no attention
whatever to this command, and the
next instant brought one of his
wooden legs down upon Tips foot so
forcibly that the boy danced away in
pain to a safer distance, from where
he again yelled,

Jack had now managed to raise him.

answered Tip, angrily.
"Yes: but the horse has no ears"
said the smiling Pumpkinhead.
Sure enough." exclaimed Tip,
noting the fact for the first time
How. then, am / going to stop him.
But at that instant the Saw Horse
stopped himself. having concluded it

He saw Tip, however, and came close
to the boy to observe him more fully
1t was really comical to see the
creature walk; for it moved the legs
on Its right side together. and those
on its left side together, as pacing

Tip patted 1t upon the head. and said

Tip; and having made a search in his

mILEY MEETING CONCLUDED.

After being in progress nearly two
weeks the cvangelistic campaign which
has been conducted by Rev. DR.. w. II.
Miley, evangelist of the Southern
Presbyterian church in the First
Presbyterian church here was con-
cluded last evening. DR.. ,Miley left
this morning for Fountain Inn, Green
Vile county where he is TO begin a
series OF services today. AS result
of the Miley meeting here there were
quite a number of accessions to the
church on profession or faith, the
majority of course joining the Presby-
terian church while there were numer-
GUS reconsecrations. A literal contri-
button to Evangelist MiIey for his
services was made by the congrega-
tons, AZ. $40 ;,
DIR. Miley made many friends while
he was in tYorkville, many people
being attracted TO him not through
appreciation of his sermons but be-
cause of the charming personality OF
the man. Before leaving he expressed
himself as being we'll pleased with
Yorkville and the many people he met
here and he took occasion to express
his appreciation to the many agencies
who made his meeting here sue
cess from the standpoint OF attend
ance and religious interest manifest.
Congregations who have been at
tcndant on the meetings throughout
have been composed of people of every
creed not only of Yorkville. but from
the country surrounding and while the
church auditorium has not been
crowded at all of the services, still
the attendance has boon about all that
was expected. 's5.
Preaching. Tuesday evening from the
text as found in st. Luke, 15:2- This
Man, ,Rcccivcth and Eatcth With
Them, DR.. Miley's was a stirring APP
peal to soul salvation. He said that
the society of Christ as represented
by His church was the only orsaniz-
ed society of the world which would
accept men and women of all classes
and stations in life, regardless of their
moral condition. Class distinctions
in the time of Christ were perhaps
more pointed and pungent than they
arc today. They who were beyond the
pale of the law and who had the
scorn and contempt of their fellow
men. naturally were attracted to
Christ and the doctrine OF life ever
lasting that he preached because the
Christ in his preaching made it plain
to itll that Christianity is a big, NOV
ing, vital force.

Looking After Their Soldiers
Two more states, Wisconsin and Min
nesota, have enacted laws which arc
to the advantage of soldiers hailing
from those two commonwealths.
The Wisconsin legislature, in special
session, has passed a Soldiers Edu-
cation bill. Under the provisions of
the law every honorably discharg-
ed soldier, sailor or marine who was
a resident of the state of Wisconsin
at the time of enlistment, will re-.
ceivc $40 q month while attending
any OF the colleges, normal schools
in the state, or the state university.
This act will be in effect until 1924.
Provisions are also made for those
who cannot qualify for these higher
institutions of learning.
Discharged service men who are now
residents of other states, but VINO
were included in the Wisconsin quo;a
before the war, are also entitled TO
the provisions of this act. Applica-
ton blanks must be filled out by all
who apply. They will be forwarded
on application to the secretary of the
state Board Of Education, Madison,
Wisconsin.
The soldier bonus bill has become
Il law in the state of Minnesota.
This gives each soldier from that
state a bonus of SIS a month for
each month served, and the minimum
amount to he paid will he $50. Tho
time counted is from the day tSe
United States entered the war until
the signing Of the ,armistice. All
Minnesota soldiers who served drfring'
thiss period are entitled to the bonus,
whether now RESIDENT nEthe state or
not. - 50

The British pound is now at the
heaviest discount in exchange for the
American dollar that 1t has ever been
in history. This makes Great Britain
pay excessive prices for American
goods. The natural remedy is for
Great Britain to borrow in America;
but this Great Britain declines to do
She recognizes that the more she bor-
rows the more difficult it, will be for
her to get out of debt, and she prefers
to do without rather than borrow. she
will buy nothing from America ex-
cept those things she cannot possibly
get anywhere else. All the otner
countries of the world, with possibly
one or two exceptions are still heavily
in debt to Great Britain.

pectation throughout the country that

he lifted by an order from the prcsi-
dent declaring that the rehabilitation
of the national army has been COM
pleted. 1t is not known that the
president has given out any intima-
ton of such an intention at this time:
but if the president does declare de-
mobilization to be completed, then all
municipalities in which the sale of
alcoholic liquors is not otherwise pro-
hibitcd, will be allowed to reopen
their saloons until January 1, when
constitutional prohibition goes into ef-'
feet. 1t is said that the former liquor
dealers of New York are ordering
large quantities of bonded whisky
from the big distillsSies in anticipation
of the hoped for freshet. Leading pro-
hibitionists insist that the president is
not going to do anything: that will
change the present situation as to the
prohibition of liquor.
