Why Policemen Go Crazy

Yesteray. afternoon a much per-
turbed young lady rushed up to a
certain big policeman who was
calmly patrolling his beat on Main
street.
"Oficer," she cried. "There's a
man following me-"
The kind-hearted minion of the
law glanced in the direction she had
come, but the sidewalk was empty.
"I dom see anyone" he protested.
"Well, you see," the charming one
answered, che wasn't behind me
he was ahead of me-"
"Then how could he have been fol-
lowing you?" demanded the police
man, a puzzled frown on his face.
"Why, it was. the same thing as
following he," explained the distress
ed damsel. "He's been walking ahead
of me all the way from North And
erson and once Or twice every block
he looked back to see if I was COM

Hibbing stood. "
An engineer of the Steel CorpQr-

in his Office in New York recently
when a phone call summoned him to
the Office of Judge Gary, Chairman

Office only two minutes, but in those
two minutes he was asked half doz-

by the late, Henry W.. Oliver of
Pittsburg, and then was'instructed to
."put that town on the move and
keep it on the move until you have

The court Of general sessions is
plainly told a few things by the su-

plicable to the Abbeville court of gen

miles north of Summerville two
white men were hurrying along in a
seven-passenger Patterson touring
car when prohibition officers, includ-

Healey and Scott, chanced in the
same section of landscape, with the
result that the men were arrested,
their touring car seized in the name
of the law and two gallons of gen.

Two miles from Woodstock the
same officers captured an illicit still
and destroyed about fifty gallons of
"beer." No arrests were made, as the
operators did not appear to protest
against the seizure. ..
Saturday night three white men
and Ford truck were taken into
custody by officers near Bees Ferry,
on the other side of the Ashley river.
Sugar, meal and an illicit still were
confscated. The men, whose names
were given as Behrens, Drake and

By DADDY
The Fairy's Gift

TCDGE OWL found Peggy and Billy
eager to hear ABOUT the Wild Flower
Fairy and how King Bird got his crest
of orange red.
king Bird wanted a crown" began
Judge owl. "He had heard tnat kings
had crowns and as his name wa.s King
Bird he thought he ought to be just like
other kings.
But King Bird didn't know much
about crowns and didn't know where
ne could get one. He tried wearing a
dandelion blossom for a crown, but he
found It lot of bother. He had to
hold very still,to balance X on his head
and whenever he saw bug flying by
and darted after it, the dandelion crown
would topple off.
Next he tried crown OF woven
grass which Mrs. Oriole made for him.
but that kept slipping over one ear or
dropping in front of his eyes, and 1t was
as much OF a nuisance as the dandelion
blossom crown.
80 King Bird sat on a post and told
his trouble to every one who could hear
him. I want "a crown, he chirped. I
want a crown to ht my name. Some
one bring me a crown
But no one brought King Bird a
crown
"As he sang for crown, King Birds
bright eyes happened to notice nearby
wind The wild flower seemed very
happy, but all of a sudden It stopped
its graceful dancing and began to
shiver and to shake.
King Bird looked to see what was
making the wild flower shiver and shake
and he saw half dozen bugs circing
impishly around 1t.
Sweet, sweet, wild flower, we are 60
ing to eat you sang the bugs in buzz
ing voices. We viii sip your honey and
feast upon your dainty petals
King Bird knew that the bad bugs
would do as they said--they would sip
the wild flowers honey, and they would
feast on it's petals. leaving It to wither
and die And no one was near to save
the wild flower from Its cruel foes.
King Bird, as you know, Is bold
chap, but he has a kind heart. When
he saw the trouble of the wild flower, he
darted from his perch, and In less than
half an owls hoot, he gobbled up every
one of those bugs.
THE wild flower was very grateful,
and thanked King Bird.
Never mind thanking me - said
King Bird I was glad TO gobble those
bugs. Go on with your dancing, and II
any more bugs come along III eat them
before they can eat you.
THE grateful wild flower went on
with her dancing. and she was so
graceful and pretty King Bird enjoyed
;he sight very much At the same time,
however he Kept sharp watch for bugs
