AWAKENED N THE MIDST OF THE NIGHT.

yCarlvsle h. Holcomb

When Mrs. Robin spoke to Tinker
about visiting the creatures that lived
In h warm LAND all the time she did
mo- know it was so close to sunset
time. But when she heard a peculiar,
scream from the mountain she knew
a resting place for the night. Do you
think she has a home where she stays
every night? Wen. she doesn't when
she is in the Land of the South.
Sometimes h and little Jenny
Wren stay in the same tree and some
times they don't. You see it is so warm
here that she does not need to worry
about where she sleeps just so it is
nigh enough that the night wanderers
cannot. find her. Yes. there are some
night wanderers here as there are in
the great Forest of the North. Tinker
Bob heard one the first night.
Being that. night was falling so
quickly Mrs. Red Robin told the King
that she would take him on the fol-
lowing morning to visit some of the
creatures of this wonderful country.
So Tinker and Lady Duck went to the
place where they had spent the first
night and the King tapped the Stone
of knowledge and suddenly there
came to them the Beautiful Creature
with the magic basket; and again
Tinker and Lady Duck were taken to
the tree top where they were to spend
the night. Tinker looked about to see
what he might locate in the twilight.
This was a delightful night. They
didn't need anything to keep them
warm. Suddenly the night birds began
to sing. Their calls came from every
side. This was a new sound to Tinker
but Lady Duck had heard them be-
fore. After a time the Moon began to
shine and the blackness of the forest
was frightened by his light. While the
night birds called from all around not
n of them came close enough for
Tinker to see what they looked like.
They were everywhere but could not
be seen.
After listening to their calls for
some time and watching the Moon as
he came up in full view. the King
J went to sleep happy in the thought
that he had arrived in the land of
the ar South where the birds were
happy.

BETTER THAN CAL0ME[
Thousands Have Discovered
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For II years he used
these tablets "a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oily in his private
practice with great success.
They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.

WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY
BY EDITH MORIARTY,

The members of the National
Women's party who will attend the
convention in Washington this week
have a treat in store for them in the
women from foreign countries who
will address some of the members. 1t
is always interesting to hear OF, the
doing of women in other lands and
the most surprising thing which US
ually strikes the hearers is hat the
women of other lands have the same
trials n tribulations and the same
interests hat they do. There is not
the great difference in women
throughout the world hat there is
in their geographical locations.
Mrs. Thit Jensen will be one of the
prominent speakers at the convention.
She is a Danish author who will
speak on the program of the women
of her country. She has long been
an ardent suffragist and has lectured
throughout Denmark on the suffrage
question.

81 DEAD IN MICHIGAN
CENTRAL TRAIN WRECK

Porter, Ind, Feb 2s.-CBy The A. P.)
The last body tonight was believed to
have been removed from the debris Of
the wreck last night when New York
Central train cut in two a Michigan Cen
trail flyer at the intersection of the two
lines here, but identification of the dead
still was progressing slowly
The official list of dead tonight stood
at 81, but little more than a score of
these had been identified positively. Sew
eral other bodies were partly identified
through elimination proceedings in pass
and ticket lists of the trains. Seven or
eight of the bodies, however, may never
be identified. The wreck left them in
such condition they could not be recog-
nized. r-
Only one part of the debris remained to
be searched tomorrow, the twisted bra. en-
hulk of the New York Central engine
which tore through the wooden Michigan
Central passenger coach with such fcrce
that it was buried several feet in the
soft earth. This had been partly under
mined, however. and it was thought that
all of the bodies had been recovered.
No statement has been made public by
the engineer and firemen of the Michi-
gan Central train. They esca ped serious
injury ana went to Niles. Mich, where
they related their stories to operating
officers of the road. The engineer later
went to his home in Jackson, Mich, il
was said.

county, said he would not attempt to start
an inquest until the Identification work
had hesn finished. Ke predicted that this

with visitors today. but tonight most Of
them mad departed and the wreckage was
largely cleared away. ,~-
