AS DANNY MEADOW MOUSE
"A anxlously looked this way and
tina, way for a place TO hide from
Buster Bear. n sharp. squeaky voice
almost In his very ear made MN
lump. what are you doing over
here, Danny Aren't you lost7' said
the sharp, squeaky voice.
Danny turned quickly TO find
little round hole In the ground be-
tween the roots Of the tree. and Just
inside was the trim little head OF ms
cousin. whitefoot the Woodmouse.
"oh" cried Danny. Buster Bear
is trying to catch me. and / don't
know what TO do
Come in here" replied Whitefoot'
promptly.
Danny didn't need a. second invi'
tation. lie darted in just as Buster
Bear reached the tree on the other
side. Buster promptly tried again
the trick by which he had so nearly
caught Danny. lie reached n great
paw around the trunk OF the tree
and brought II down swiftly. But he
was too late. There was no one un.
der that big paw, Buster watched
and listened. but he saw nothing and
heard nothing. Then he walked
around the tree TO investigate. There
was no sign of fanny Meadow
Mouse. But between the roots OF the
tree was little round hole.
'Huhr' grunted Buster Bear and
began digging furiously.
Now. Buster Bears claws are long
and stout. and when he sets out To
dig he makes things fly. But White
foot the woodmouse knows all about
those great claws OF Buster. ana
when he made that little round mole
he made II right under the big roots
OF that tree. 1t didn't take Bustef
long to find out that IT was quite
useless to try 10 dig out Danny
Meadow Mouse You see, those DIE
roots were In the way. so, after
minute or two OF useless digging,
Buster gave up. II was foolish TO
waste time there when he might be
hunting for and finding sweet little
beechnuts. SO, grumbling deep IN
his throat. Buster walked Off ana
once more began TO rake over the
leaves in search of beechnuts.
Meanwhile, Danny Meadow Mouse
had followed his cousin. Whitefoot
the Woodmouse, along little tuhhei
among the roots that led him some
distance away from where he had
entered. II was very nice niue
tunnel. Danny said AS much as ne
scampered along after Whitefoot
Whitefoot was pleased, but he didn't
say anything. He just scampered
along. and Danny followed. After a
while they came out In the heart Oh
a big. hollow stump.
"Now," said whitefoot you have
naming to worry about from Buster
Rear. Tell me what happened ana
what you are doing so far away from
home"

NOT A HAPPIER
MAN IN SEATTLE
THRESS ASSERTS
Rejoices Because Tanlac Has
Restored His Wife to
Health and Strength

Il don't believe there IL hap
pier man In Seattle than am, and
IL IL all because OF what Tanlac
did for my wife" said Charles ].
Thress, n valued employe Of the
Bass Hucter Paint Company, and
who resides at 1898 North Sixty
nth street. Seattle. Continuing.
Mr.. Thress said: For several years
my wife suffered something awful
with indigestion and stomach trou-
bic. Then last fan she had an. at
tack OF the FLU and this left her In
terribly run down condition. She
lost what little appetite she had
and could not digest the least thing
she ate. Her food would just lie
! In her stomach and sour. causing
gas, and she would bloat badly.
She had an awful pain across the
small OF her back almost all tho
time. IL she stopped over to pick
IN anything she would nearly fall
and could hardly straighten up
again. Her nerves got In such bad
shape that she had to let her
homework go almost entirely and
would jump and become frightened
Mt the least little sound. and she
was hardly ever able to sleep more
than two hours n night. She would
toss and roll from side TO side, and
when she got up In the morning
her back ached so she could hardly
bend over to put on her shoes.
About this time some of her friends
recommended Tanlac TO her, and
she consented 10 try IL. and II has
not only relieved her of the after
effects OF the flu. but the other
troubles she had have also disap-
peared. IL toned up her stomach
and whole system, and got her In
such a good. healthy condition
that she has a splendid appetite
and can eat anything she wants
and as much as she wants. She
Is never bothered any more with
gas or bloating. Every bit of the
pain has gone from her back and
she can bend and stoop without the
least trouble, and her nerves are
In fine shape. She goes to sleep
almost as soon as she goes to bed
and sleeps like n child until morn
ing.
"She has gained In weight and
her whole appearance shows she Is
strong and well. We never lose an
opportunity to say n good word for
Tanlac. and ! am glad to recon-
mend II to everybody

can secure this privilege through the
division superintendent of the sys-

secured to protect the rights of the
man who puts in the crop, and a re-
quirement will be included which will
prevent the planting of any crop which
would in any way obscure the sight

fact while there is no specific regula.
ton to this would mean that only
crops which do not make a growth
high enough to obscure vision of high
ways at crossings would be allowed to
be planted.

Time Worn Affidavit.


The old time ex rel affidavit is gone.
In the olden days it has been charged
that certain lawyers and certain pub.
fishers used to get together on legal
notices and split fees, and while the
printer didn't get so much per notice,
he managed to work up a thriving
business therein. at the expense OF
the more scrupulous man who would
not evade the law. 1t became a some
what general practice, relate the his.
torians. that an owe night printer
would bring in a little junk plant. set
up in town, put out a little rag and
make a business OF his legal notices
at reduced rates, at the same time
making affidavit, II required. that he
got the full legal rate. SO they put an
extra stiff hold on him. requiring this
ex rel affidavit attached to all notices
OF this character, 20 the effect that
there had been 40 split OF fees. II
made some extra work for the law
,yers, so n of them put in a bill and

this affidavit. The senators had some
idea that 1t was a pretty good law
yet, but both the lawyers and the pub
fishers wanted ii repealed, and they
figured that people were decent and
civilized enough to walk straight IN
this state now, and that those WHIT
were not. and would split fees in THU
enlightened age, would show no grea,
hesitation in making most any kind o
