DIXIE HIGHWAY ROUTE

Editor Star: Not that / would pre-
sumo to dictate toe our city council
about the course of the state-highway
thorugh the city, but prompted by
the old adage, in the multitude cf
council there is wisdom or safety,
believe the council will gladly do what
is accepted as the best for the town
and the travelling public.
I most heartily endorse the letter
of Judge Bullock in yesterdays Star,
which pointed out the dangers of the
state highway meandering through
the narrow, congested streets of the
town, by the hotels and churches.
/ am heartily in favor of the high
way going from the northern bound
ary of the town south on Magnolia
street to the intersection of Eighth
street, east by our public school build
ing on Eighth street to the Lake Wen
avenue, thence south to southern
boundary of the town. If | am moi
mistaken" this would not conflict with
the streets already named by the city
council to be paved and / am quite
sure it would avoid much danger from
directing strangers to travel through
narrow, congested streets.

After Billy Wbiskers had eaten
md drunk his fill at the little
7hanty at the edge of the clearing.
he looked around and saw a straw
stack at the further end of the
yard and a low shed, which backed
up to another shed in the next
yard. Billy noticed for the first
time that there was another house
and yard adjoining the one where
he was and from there he could
hear voices saying. Goodnight. "
Then all was still and he walked
TO the straw-stack and lay down in
its shelter and was soon fast
asleep.
He had no idea how long he had
been asleep when he heard a wo-
man say. in a high pitched voice:
Rooney, | told you, you would
leave that gate open once too many
lines and some ones cow would

Then the same voice raised it.
self and called Tim, Tim, come
here and see what mischief has
been done!"
Billy lay still and looked in the
direction from which he heard the
voice sound, and presently he saw
a short, fat, red-headed boy come
around the corner of the house.
They went to the cabbage patch
and began to replant the cabbages
that he had trampled down and
not eaten, when all of a sudden the
woman looked in the direction of
the strawstack, and spied Billy.
"Begorry, Tim. what is that? A
big white dog or what, down by the
straw-stack?" asked Mrs. Rooney.
Tim looked an said: mo, mother.

shed from the adjoining one, so he
got up and went to look through it
to see if he could not see the goat
he heard bleating.
Into the next shed the moonlight
was streaming. and lying on pile
of straw in the light he saw beau

it is luck he will bring us by com.
ing to us himself. Put him in the
shed, and tomorrow you can hitch
him to your cart and make him

Tim pulled up a bunch of nice
fresh carrots and approached Billy
With these he induced Billy to fol
low him TO the shed where he
locked him in for the night.
After fastening Billy in, Tim went
off and left Billy to take care OF
himself the best he could, and he
soon found heap of straw which
he curled himself upon and was in
dreamland in no time.
He had been asleep for several
hours when he was awakened by a
dog barking at the moon, and he
was going off in another nap when
he heard the bleating OF goat in
the shed adjoining his.
He pricked up his ears to listen,
and, sure enough, he heard it again
very distinctly. and at the same
time he saw large knot hole in

answered, "Violet, you will find out

Over Wet Pebbles

| know a little river
That runs down to the sea,
A winding, purling river
That chatterS merrily.
A dancing. joyous river,
Which ever as it flows
Trips over little pebbles
And steps upon their toes
With a touch so light and dainty
That they laugh in sparkling rows
Then, with rpipling fingers
It brushes off their clothes
And washes them all over.
Till they shine respondent there
In cOlors pure and perfect,
Like jewels bright and rare.
Then it dips and laughs and
Chatters,
As dancing on it goes
Over the little pebbles
To the music that it knows.
Singing over the pebbles,
Through whom its measure grows,
The little river dances
TO the music that it knows.

The Story OF A
Little Gml---Pouy

You know Polly was six years
old when she had her party, so now
she is going to school.
One morning, as Polly lay awake
in her bed she happened to look up
at the clock. Then she exclaimed,
why, it's after seven already,
Why in the world didn't Mother call
me?' Then she hoped out of bed
and dressed; then ran downstairs.
and said to her mother, Mother,
| will have to hurry awful. | slept
too late. | thought you would call
me. Hurry. | want my breakfast.
have only half an hour"
"A half an hour until what?'
asked her mother.
School, of COURSE" said Polly.
why, Polly, don't you know this
is Saturday," asked her mother.
ooh, yes, | forgot-Well now,
since I'm up, | want my breakfast"
said Polly.
Polly had her breakfast and
washed her face and hands and
teeth and brushed her hair. and as
soon as she finished these things,
there came knock at the door, and
Polly rantO open it.
She opened it, and there stood
her Uncle Henry, all the way from
the city, 20 miles away. Then she
cried:
ooh, Uncle Henry, did you bring
Alice?" Alice is Polly's little
cousin.
Yes. here I am" said Alice,
from the back of the machine in
which they had come.
Then Alice jumped out of the
machine and ran to Polly. While
the two little girls were talking,
Uncle Henry and Polly's mother
were talking.
After q little bit. Polly heard
Uncle Henry say, yes. yes. sister
Helen, do Alice wants you to
So"
alice wants WHAT" cried Polly,
running up.
"Oh, Polly, Henry wants us to go
to the city with him to spend the
day. 1t is Alice's birthday" said
her mother.
"Oh, Mother, are We going? Are
we going?" cried Polly.
Yes, yes, of course you are" re-
piled Uncle Henry Now go in
there and get your coats on" and
he pushed them toward the door of
the kitchen.
ooh, Uncle Henry, we don't keep
our coats in the Kitchen" laughed
Polly. and she turned to the bed
room, where they put on other
dresses and their coats.
Then they climbed into the ma
chine, and were soon off.
At last they came to the city
and then to Uncle Henry's house.
Alice and Polly had a fine time
that morning. And that afternoon
at : o'clock the guests arrived for
the party.
After the ten children had ar
rived, they played many games and
had a good lunch. Then they
played more games and went home. |
That evening Polly and her
mother went home on the train.

uMar;on, Ohio, Oct. 19.-In reply to
The question put to him by President
Wilson Yesterday as to whether he was
CORRECTLY fiuoted in his Grceneastle, Ind,
speech of last Saturday, that France
had approached him informally to say
that she desired the United States TO

ccnator Harding replied by telegram TO
,!c President last night.
a, He stated that his words could not be
unisconstrued 10 mean that the French
ssDvernment had approached him. He
said. however, that there had come to
him bv virtue of his membership on the
Foreign Relations Committee OF the
United States Senate persons who spoke
the manifest sentiment of the people OF
Hrance. This was what he believed he
had made clear in his Indiana speech.
" Almost at the outset of his reply Sena-
,or Harding without assuming to enter
