to be done before the I'D. However.
nothing was done when Crittenden
offered Johns services.
The morning of the I'd. finding his
collar hard to fasten, Crittenden few

Looking in the mirror, I saw him

glare across the room at me. For a
moment he stood there.
There isn't a collar anywhere" he

By HOWARD r. GARIs.

One day Baby Bunty :cans running
up to Uncle wisely and cried:
Come ON and chase me to the store
SO you won't get old and stiff."
IAN right" said Uncle wiggily. and
together they horped to the orange
pineapple store.
Now Wen 90 home-if you please -
said Baby Bunty. after a while.
Yes. I'm glad to see you haven't
forgotten your politeness lesson" re-
marked Uncle wiggily.
So they hoped along together. until
Baby Bunty saw some flowers. with.
out saying anything to Uncle wiggily
she began picking them. But Uncle
wiggily didn't stop. He kept right on
hor ping. and soon he had left Baby
Punty far behind.
Now the bad old fox saw this, and
said to himself:
This is my chance. I'll sneak up
alongside Of Uncle wiggily. IN speak
softly. just as Baby Bunty does, and
he will think It Is Baby Bunty, and
he'll run IN the bushes after me, and
then I'll grab him"
So the fox crept quite close to Uncle
wiggily and. making his voice sound
soft. like Baby Bunty's. called:
Come and chase me, Uncle wig
gily!' -
"If-what?" asked Mr.. Longears
thinking It really was Baby Bunty. He
also thought she had forgotten her
politeness lesson. IF what? II
what?" asked Uncle Wiggily again.
',Ccme and chase me! Play tag.'
cried the fox. still making his voice
sound like Baby Bunty's.
'If what?" asked Uncle wiggily
with laugh. "If what, Baby
Bunty?"
You see he wanted the little rabbit
girl to say 'If you please" But the
fox didn't know that, and lost his
temper.
"If what? If what?" he said. mock
ingly. in his own rough voice. 'Tf
you don't come I'll bite you!" and
t'leh Uncle wiggily knew it was the
fox. But before the impolite creature
had a chance to bite him. the bunny
bopped quickly away.

ach trouble and kindred ailments.
During or at the beginning of the
war of the rebellion Bourne, as he has
for years claimed his name to be, en-
listed either in Michigan or Wisconsin
and later was on battleship which
was blown up by the Confederates,
Bourne escaping with his life, but dos-
tined to become nonenity so far as
mind was concerned.
After the war he somehow drifted
to this county and for years made ali
uncertain livelihood by playing the
bones at county fairs and public
gatherings of whatever nature. Friends
of the unfortunate any number OF
times failed in their efforts to get Il
line on the mans name, no trace OF
his enlistment being on file either in
Wisconsin, Michigan or in Washing
ton under the name of Bourne. 1t has
long been believed that the man
Bourne, as he claims his name to be,
in fact enlisted under some other name
and for this reason his service record
can not now be rightfully traced.

name may be certainly in his youth

handwriting is almost the equal of

formed. And Notwithstanding his life
of shipment from pillar to post since
the unfortunate accident during the
dark days of civil war, Bon Pedro up

erect bearing Of a major general, quick
of step and tidy in his habits.

Indications Arc That Davenport Man

Iowa City, Sept. 20.-Coroner J. II.
Donohue has reached no conclusion at

an inquest on the body of DR.. William

The indications are, however, that
nothing will develop in the way Of

not absolutely accidental. and there
