came to the ship. Then he put the
loop over her shoulders and under her
arms and told her to hold it down
tight. Then he climbed on deck, ran
the rope over a smooth place made for
1t, and pulled the little girl on deck.
1t was not easy work, but he did it.
Aristotle stood below and barked
like mad. So Brother went down and
lifted him part way up, and the dog
managed to scramble aboard.
The next thing was to bring the
lunch and the steamer rug. Good old
Aunt Matilda You might think she
had known just what was going to
happen. Brother spread that rug on
the bunk in the cooks quarters and
helped Sister down a2d put her to bed.
The next thing was fire wood. Broth
er went ashore and gathered many
armfuls of dry driftwOod. and brought
1t aboard. Soon he had a fire blazing
in the stove and pan of sea water
getting hot.
The next thing he did was to take
Sisters white apron and tear it in
strips AMI dip 1t in hot water and
aPnica. Then he took his handkerchief
off the little girls ankle and bound up
the ankle in the nice hot baudagcs.
''Oh, that feels good" said the little
sufferer, and in five minutes she
dropped off into a nap.
Brother sat watching her. Then all
of a sudden he heard that foolish
Aristotle barking ON deck, away up
at the front end Of the bost. Brother
ran up to see what was the matter,
and saw boy climbing up. Aristotle
did not know whether to bite the boy
or not.
Brother called off the dog and sent
him below. The boy came along the
deck, scowling. He was a little bigger
than Brother.
"Wllat yer doIn' on this boat?" said
the boy. cit off this boat. This IS
my boat. Another kid and me is a.
goin' to sleep here tonight and ketch
founders in the mornin."

anybody in particular"

How on earth do you suppose came
Aristotle to be inside Of that boat?
Wen, yOu remember how he chased
the lame rabbit2 It was much the
same this time. He had been chasing
lame duck-the kind of duck thew
call coot. Somebody had shot at the
coot ald broken its wing. Aristotle
had been wandering along the shore.
barking at the little s9ndpipers when
he saw the cOot He couldn't swim
out very far after II, but he had swum
a little way, and the coot had taken
refuge in the ship. The .coot had
swu1n into that hole In the schooner's
side, and crawled into a place between
the timbers where the dog could see
It but couldn't get 1t. Aud the dog
had stayed there all night and all day.
determined to catch that coot. No
sensible dog would have stayed so
long. But although Aristotle was
named after very wise man, he wns
not what you could call sensible
dog.
Under the circumstances, Brother
went down and killed the poor coot
with stick, aad gave it to the dog.
Aristotle then found that he was very
hungry, and be ate nearly that whole
duck. 1t is certainly too bad that dogs
can't always have dog biscuit You
can not imagine Aristotle chasing
dog biscuit all day long, and getting
lost for it.
The next thing Brother did was to
take the dog ashore to Sister, who was
OverjOyed to see him. He then went
back to the schooner and found what
had been the cooks quarters.
Most Of the things had been taken
away from the ship, but not all. The
cook stove was still there, and there
were several old tin pans. There was
little cupboard with many empty
bottles in it. On the top shelf were
some bottles that were not empty.
There was bottle of some bad smell
ing oil, and bottle half full of vanilla
extract with which the cook used To
flavor his corn starch buildings. And
oh, joy there was a bottle about
quarter full Of some dark fluid that
smelled like arnica. Brother smelled 1t
again. ut is arnica," he shouted "and
that's what they put on my ankle"
He found some old rope, tied q solid
loop in one end, fastened the other end
on deck, and threw the rope over the
side. Then he got Sister, and she
honped along with his help till they

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON
.a-. .Ea.s SECOND STREET

On Tuesday as Mr.. Price was
driving his shiney little old Ford
down the street, on his way home
with the car for his wife to go out
in the country in, he knocked down,
and ran over one Of the street
markers, and badly damaged his
steering gear and temper. We
don't know just how and why this
happened, for Prices eyesight
seems to be in perfect condition,
and we hope the town is bone dry,
some think there may be a woman
in the case, at any rate it cost him
$1.5O, and we hear he ran into a
frigid atmosphere when he reach
ed home an hour late with the car.
We hope Price will do all he can
to help the authorities investigate
and run down the cause of thiy hor-
rible accident and clear up the
mystery. So far he seems to be
stunned and unable to throw. any
light on the subject.

yet today the opinion is general
that after May 1 all the potatoes
left in the state could be accommo-
dated in one warehouse and not
a very big one at that. l.
As stated before in this paper
the market is made up of individu-
al prices which are based principal
ly upon the original cost of deliv-
cry. The majority of the local
dealers are quoting $140 per ton
for Gems and a few houses will
not sell more than five sacks to a
customer. One firm running in the

morning when $3.50 price was
announced. 1t is stated that sales
are being made in the Yakima

any kind of potatoes.
Local potatoes are becoming
scarce and many houses are clean
ed up and cannot get any more.
Prices range from $12O to $125

Everybody Will Breathe
Sigh of Relief When the
Last Old Spud Is Gone

The way the potato market is
acting it will be good thing for
all concerned, from the grower to
the consumer, when the last old
spud has disappeared. When this
time arrives the former will no
longer be pestered with buyers and
the latter will go on cereal diet
which will doubtless help his dispo-
sition.
The final wind-up of the 1920
potato deal may come much sooner
than expected. This is particularly
true in regard to the consumer,
who still has an idea that there are
vast boards of potatoes put away
in secret places which will be re-,
leased by the profiteers later and
weighed out on gold scales.

weeks ago, announced the coming
shortage and backed its. statement

Too Many of the Kind.

Out in Indiana, a good many
years ago a certain old lady, sum-
moned as a witness, came into
court wearing a large poke bonnet,
such as was then much affected by
rural folks. The answer to the
questions put to her being rather
indistinct, the court requested her
to speak louder, though without
much success.
"The court cannot hear q word
you say, my good woman" said
the judge. "Please to take off that
huge bonnet Of yours"
"Sir," she said, composedly, and
distinctly enough this time, "the
court has q perfect right to bid
gentleman to take of his hat, but
he has no right to make a lady re-
move her bonnet"
"Madam," replied the judge,
"you seem SO well acquainted with
the law that I think you had better
come up and take seat with US on
the bench"
II thank your honor kindly"
she responded, dropping a low cour-
tesy to the court, "but there are
old women enough there already"
