CHAPTER I.
Good by Bodies

"WHERE do you go ~Ae" you go
w asleep"
That is the question Jack and Janet
and Chip and Clipper Chipmuck had
asked Sleepy Woodchuck.
on show you" grunted Sleepy
Woodchuck, gathering them to him and
smuggling them as mother cat snugglcS
baby kittens. At once all felt themselves
falling into doze. AS they dozed
Sleepy Woodchuck Crooned dreamy
lullaby:
"Comc, come, come on the wings Of
sleep;
Come. come. come Ger the ocean
deep;
Come, come. come where there is no
snow:
Come. come. come where warm
breezes blow
Suddenly Sleepy Woodchuck ceased
his grooming and gave sharp bark.
"Come,' he ordered. 'Shake of
your heavy bodies. Leave them sleep
Ing here and roam the world with me. Z"
At that Jack and Janet and Chip and
Clipper Chipmuck gave themselves n
sharp jerk. And they seemed to jerk
Themselves right out of their bodies
nPlT DOultS Sllll lHN DtnpHtn InCm,
smuggling close to Sleepy Woodchuck s
body in Sleepy Woodchuck's nest, but
they were no longer in the bodies. They
were in new forms--forms as light and
AIRY as though made Of fog or smoke.
And Jack and Janet were no longer
chipmucks. into which they had been
turned by Dame Instincts magic. They
we're boy and girl again, though as
small MS Chip and Clipper Chipmuck.
Near by stood Sleepy Woodchuck as
shadow like as themselves. He was not
drowsy now. He was awake, alert and
grinning.
That grin made Chip and Clipper
.Chipmuck remember that Sleepy Wood
chuck had n score to settle with them.
They had ticklcd and tensed him until
he had awakened against his will. Now
they expected him to go after them, and
they got ready to ran.
"Don't be afraid" chuckled Sleepy
WoOdchuck. 'I cant harm you. now.
you can't harm me, and nobody can
harm us.
"Why not?" asked Janet, who was
wonder struck by the change which had
come over them. what has happened
to us?"

Popocatepetl. the great volcano south
east of this city. burst into violent erup-
tiOn yesterday afternoon. a column of
smoke and ashes being thrown $500 feet
above the summit of the mountain.
President Obrcgon was entertaining Il
party Of friends at Chapultcpec Castle
and had strolled with them on tn" bal
cony when he observed the eruption. He
called for strong field glasses, and after
closely observing the column Of smoke
rising forty miles away, directed that
two aviatOrS be sent to the mountain
to ascertain the seriousness OF the out
break
The aviators reported upon their re-
turn that they had heard heavy rumbling
in the mountain and that lava was flow
ing down the slopes below the crater.
" arnings have been sent to the resi-
dents of villages near the mountain.
but reports indicate that these small
towns have been deserted for weeks.

WILL SHOOT THOSE WHO
INVADE MAIL CARS

The post Office department at Wash.
ington sends out notice that U. S
Marines have been placed on all mail
ears with orders TO shoot and to
shoot to kill any one entering mail
cars who is under suspicion or for the
purposes of robbery. The postal au.
thorNies warn the public against
lettering around mail cars or mail
wagons. One having letter to mail
on the train, for instance, will drop
same in mail box without COZ -crring
with mail clerk.
The order is issued because of the
great number Of hold-ups and rob-
berries throughout the country and the
thinking public will readily acquiesce
in assisting the postal authorities to
prevent any trouble along lines.
To show how stringent the order
is. it is stated that the Marines have
hanging over them two years in a
federal prison if they lay down on
the job or permit robbery that there
is any show Of preventing, hence it is
that they can afford to take few
chances and the public should realize
this.

MISS MABEL McCOR.
MICK PASSED AWAY

Miss Mabel Clarce Mccormick
died at the home Of her father, R. H.
Mccormick, at an early hour last
Sunday morning and her remains
were consigned to the grave in the
Powell burying ground, on the fol-

conducted by Rev. E. r. Henderson
of the Central Baptist church in
Grenada.
This young lady had been in i'll
health for several years, and only
recently she had seemed much i'm
proved and given hope Of per-
manent' recovery. But fate decreed
otherwise and she succumbed to that
ordeal which every human being must
pass through before entering the
portals of another world. While she
had fingered on a bed of affliction,
she grew in all those sublime virtues
that made sure Of an acceptance inte
that fold into which a loving Savior
had invited all humanity. To the
grief stricken father and other loved
ones, The Sentinel tenders sincere
sympathy. v..

'SPRINCTIME" AT OPERA
HOUSE WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Springtime" musical play pre-
serted at the opera house Wednes.
day night by the Grenada public
school was quite a success. Excellent
hits were made by many in the play.
The story deal with romance in con-
nection with the life of a scion of
1868 aristocracy and the daughter of
James Brewster. The time covered is
q period of fifty years. 1t would be
difficult to follow the play through
CT to undertake to refer to the parts
played by different characters
without devoting more space than is
available at this time and then there
is the fear of making jndividous
distinctions.
The play WAS g,iver in order to
rise funds for the public school
library, half Of which went to the
gentlemen directing the play and half
to the school. There was g good
size audience Wednesday night and
the receipts from the matinee We'd
nesday afternoon and that night evi-
IDENTIFY run somewhere in the neigh.
borhood of 500. AS usual Grenada
responds we'll to any local demand
for aid for its schools and its church
es, and this play w:.s no exception.

MISS KATE SHERMAN
DIED SUNDAY.

Miss Kate Sherman died in a Mem
phis hospital, where she was carried
the Friday night before, Sunday morn
ing at about 2 o'clock, A. M. and her
remains we're brought home that day
on train No. 3, and after funeral
services at the residence of her
brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. E. J.
Weyneth, conducted by Rev. j. r.
Cunningham of the Presbyterian
church, were carried to Odd Fellows
cemetery where they were deposited
in the family lot to await the resur-
rection morning.
Miss Kate Sherman was born and
reared in Grenada, being a daughter
of Mr.. Thomas D. Sherman and wife.
She had one sister, older, Mrs. John
George and one younger than herself,
Mrs. E. J. Weyneth. She tried to
lead the life of one born of the
spirit of God. She was an exceed
ingly modest, retiring character, yet
one of many commendable rdaggres
sive traits ard the best tribute to her
is that those who knew her best
esteemed and loved her most. She
was member of the Episcopal church
and many yecrs ago had taken her
side with those whs would publicly
acknowledge the demands Of God and
believed in an open confession of
faith in the fullness Of the re-
demptiOn of the Savicr's blood
Besides her sister, she has numerous
other rela to whom coincidence is
offered.

with the very latest and best nlachin-
cry, including many appliances OF
original design. The coffee is carried
through its various processes untouch-
ed by hand.
This great industry grew from a
| little coffee roasting concern in Nash
vile, where two small cylinders of
meager capacity composed the equip
ment. The growth Of the Cheek-Neal
Company has been STEADY and consist
ent, constantly reaching into new ter
ritory. Few coffee concerns in the
United States have reached the pin
nacle achieved by the Cheek-Nsal
Company in blazing a path toward
success.
Mr.. Cheek and Mr. Neal are both
kentuckians. 1t is interesting to
know that Mr. Cheek has associated
with him nj this business six of his
eight sons Mr.. j. r. Neal, an only
son, assists his father in the manage
ment Of the Houston plant.
The Cheek-Neal Company ha. long
been a believer in and consistent user
of advertising. From small local ad-
vertising several years ago. this con-
cern has expanded its publicity efforts
constantly, until today it is using ma
tional magazines, several hundred
leading newspapers IN every section
Of the country, including many OF the
big, metropolitan .daiies, bill boards
and street car cards. Through ever
lasting publicity. backed by worthy
product, the great business Of today
has been built. With the opening Of |
the New York plant another mile
stone has been passed and plans for
further increases and expansion are
already under consideration.
