THE GREEN STONE.

THE minute Tinker Bob tapped the
two stones together, everything
seemd to change, and change so
quickly. Instantly Tinker stood in
the midst of a large forest. On the
right of him were trees large ana
small. On the left of him were vlnes
and underbrush., In front Of him
was the strangest sight he ever saw.
Down the winding pathway, coming
straight toward him, was a large
Polecat, walking on his hind feet.
With his front paws he carried
large bundle. AS he drew near, Tin
ker Bob ventured to speak:
"My name is Tinker Bob, and who
are you?"
'I'm Major Polecat," came the
prompt reply. "This is my home, be-
tween yonder log and this pine tree;
and all that comes within this space
is mine" 7@
"But just where do you live?"
asked Tinker Bob.
81 live beneath this pine tree
There is the door. He pointel with
his fore-paw to the hole in the
ground that led under the tree. "All
those who enter to disturb never do

dreaded walker in the forest.
Just then two little noses appeared
at the mouth of the hole. They
shifted, then ventured out.
Here they are" said Major Pole
cat. They could not walk on their
hind feet as they father, but hur-
ried to his side on all four. "These
are mine and no one in the forest
dare harm them. I have given them
each small pouch of poison LIQUID
with a terrible odor and when any
one comes near to harm them they
throw this liquid, the odor of which
frightens even the hunters hound.
Tinker Bob was much interested in
Toll and Soil as they played pranks
about their daddy's' feet.
But where is your garden? What
do you eat?"
"Oh, we eat the things other peo-
pie grow in their garden. | don't
have to have a garden. Now and
then we find Mr.. Crow lettering
ABOUT, or Jerry the Jay Bird, and
then we have feast. Some times
when everybody is asleep I leave
the forest and go to the farmers
chicken house and bring home a fine
young chick for breakfast"
Major Polecat took his bundle
from his back and set it against
tree. AS soon as Toll and Soil spied
the bundle they pulled it open in
search of berries.
So it was that Tinker Bob became
acquainted with the home life of
Major Polecat.

SEVENTY YEARS OLD, !,
DRIVES $4,000 MILES.

On her return trip, Mrs. William
Upton, the seventy year old Woman,
who alone drove a Ford runabout

for securing a new Ford car i'm

home in Bakerfield, California.
Mrs. Upton has already driven
her present Ford more than $4,000
miles, 1000 of which were driven
since she left San Francisco May
18th, the longest days drive being
160 miles. At Springfield, Illinois,
Mrs. Upton's birth place, she plans
to dispose of the car and after visit
ing her many friends there, will re-
turn home via rail.
When commencing on her trip,
she said that in making the, drive
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, it

the most cities and places of inter-
est. She visited the Petrified Forest,
spent several days in the National

visited the site of the Battle of
Gettysburg, and then after touring to
some of the Atlantic Coast Cities,
made her way to New York.
She experienced practically. no

LADY
AFRAID TO LEAVE
HER HOME ALONE
Felt That a Dizzy Spell Might
Strike Her, and She Would
Fall in the Streets; Nerves All
Exhausted.
HAS GAINED TEN POUNDS
Declares Her Improvement Is
Marvellous Since Taking Three
Bottles of Dreco, the New
Remedy.

Il nursed my father for four months
last year, day and night. and the
strain exhausted my strength and
nerves, and since then my health has
been very poor; / simply dragged my
self around, and forced myself to look
after my household says Mrs. A. l..
Aubrey, of us North 7th avenue, PEN
sfacola, Florida.
II often had severe headches. daily
constipated. bad taste in my mouth
every morning; my limbs ached al
most constantly, and frequently were
numb with severe pains across the
small of my back. The dizzy spells
were so bad that really I was afraid
to leave my home alone for fear I'd
fall in the street from dizziness.
"One night my husband read about
some Pensacola lady's experience with
Dreco, and decided / should take that
medicine also. and I'm happy that /
did. for I'm so much better now; I
have gained 10 pounds since taking
Dreco; I sleep fine. that severe pain
in my right side is gone, also the pains
in my back and limbs. and I never
have a dizzy spell now. and eat-myl
I'm hungry all the time, and have no
indigestion, either. The constipation
and liver troubles are forgotten. Ore
co is surely fine, and hope this rec
ord of my case will help some one
just as the statement my husband read
led me to renewed health and happi-
ness"
Dreco is composed of the juices and
extracts of many different roots,
herbs, banks and berries, which act
on the stomach. kidneys, liver. bowels
and purifies the blood. 1t relieves con-
stipation, prevents gas forming in the
stomach, increases the appetite, in
sures sound. refreshing sleep. BAN
ishes catarrh of the head and takes
