gon until the manager, the ticket
seller and the money were all mixed
up together.
Take your owl away. You can
run all the shows you want to-"
yelled the manager
Peggy called Judge Owl off, al
though he was having SO much fun
he didn't want to quit.
I'D like to bite that manager"
hooted Judge Owl. I'm hungry
enough to eat a camel or an ele-
plant"
By this time Peter and Billy had
the backyard show grounds ready,
and Judge Owl flew inside. Then
Billy took up his place at the gate,
and began to yell like a show
barker.
Right this way, ladies and gen.
tlemen! Right this way to see the
biggest owl alive for only 40 cents!"
In the midst of his tricks Judge
Owl suddenly stopped short, lifted
up his nose and shifted the air.
Meat! l smell meat! It's supper
time" he hooted.
Then, to the dismay Of Peggy and
blliy, ne rose INTO the air ana
sailed over the fence. An instant
later there arose a loud racket from
the circus grounds, shouts, yells and
the howls of beasts. In its midst
Judge Owl came sailing back over
the fence, and clutched in his claws
were great chunks Of meat.
"Ow! DOW! O-o-o-ow! I'm
hungry" screamed the tiger from
the menagerie tent.
Gracious me-" exclaimed Peggy.
Judge Owl has taken the supper
we do?'
Tomorrow will be told how the tiger
comes after his lost supper.)

THAT will be fun" answered the
freckled lad, whose name was Peter.
II didn't have money enough to go
to the big circus, but your bird is a.
good enough show for me-"
you can't give show here. I'll
have my men run you out" blus-
tered the circus manager. Peggy
frowned at him.
Judge Owl, I think a good shak-
ing would teach this manager better

Shells and Shekels,

The life story of Sir Marcus
Samuel, who has purchased from
the earl of Berkeley for the sum of
$25,000,000 parcel Of the fashion,
able residential section Of London
known as Berkeley Square, furnishes
one of the real romances of the

early days, kept little shop in one
of the poorer quarters of the Brit
ish metropolis, where he made and
sold for a shilling or two orna-
mental boxes made of shells from
the sea shore. Later he invested
his savings in oil, made money and
started a company called the
Shell" thus identifying his big new
venture with his original struggling
business. Since those days he has
accumulated a fortune of many mill
lions and has been honored with a
baronetcy. And all from selling
shells from the sea shore-mixed
with an abundance of brains and en-
ergY.

Charles JOnnart.

Senator Charles Jonnart, who has
been appointed to place in the
French cabinet as minister Of the
liberated regions has been governor
general of Algeria since March of
last year. M. Jonnart began his
public career about 80 years ago as
a member of the Chamber of Dep
uties. He was a member Of M.
Casimer Perier's cabinet, which only
survived for short period, and in
1913 he became minister for for
eign affairs in the BRAND cabinet
1t was in the early summer of 1917,
however, that NJ. Jonnart stepped
into the full glare of the European
limelight, when he was deputed by
the French premier to undertake the
special mission to Athens to put a
stop to the aid which Greece was
offering to the central powers in the
war. The success of that mission is
a matter of history. Two days after
M. Jonnarts arrival in Athens King
Constantine abdicated and was sue
ceeded by his second son, Alexander,
whose sympathies were known to be
on the side Of the entente allies.

THE HOME TEAM
DEFEATS TEMPLETON
SHUPE BEATS HITEMAN in A
PITCHERS BATTLE In BEST
GAME OF SEASON

Audubon took the long end of the
score last Sunday in what proved to
be the most closely contested game
On the home grounds this year, when
they won over Templeton 1 to 0. 1t
was an ideal base ball day and there
was a good sprinkling of fans pres
ent to enjoy it. The game was a
pitchers battle all the way through
with Shupe having slight edge over
his opponent by tightening up when
hits meant runs. The lucky break
for Audubon came in the sixth, when
Kline, first man up, was hit by .
pitched ball and scored on singles by
Kaufman and Stafford. The visit
ors threatened to score in the sixth.
eighth and ninth innings but good
support and fine work on the part of
Shupe blasted their hopes each time.
The game was particularly free from
wrangling, both the home team and
the visitors proving themselves gen.
tlemen in every respect. The home
team goes to Templeton next Sunday
for a return game and we feel sure
that it will be worth while for as
many fans as can possibly do so to ac-
company them. The lineup was as
follows:

Notes of the Game
There was quite a few ladies pres
emit which goes to show the real in
terest in the game here and also
speaks well for the clean way in
which the games are being conduct
ed.
Manager Gronert announced be-
fore the game that there would be no
betting on the side lines tolerated
during the game in which we heart
lily agree with him.
Although the diamond was some
what soggy On account of the heavy
rain Saturday night, the game was
exceptionally free from errors.
The double play by Audubon in
the 7th was pulled in real big league
style and was very timely as IL came
with the bases full.
w. Shupe substituted for Petersen
at the start of the game for Audi
bon on account of Petersen not ar
irving until the train came in.
Hiteman, the Templeton pitcher,
held the home teams sluggers bet
ter than any pitcher that has faced
them this year.
Shupe for Audubon also pitched a
nice game, pulling out of some bad
holes in great style.
Kline also proved a good assistant
behind the bat, especially on throws
to bases, besides making the only
score of the game.
