3t brush

Paddy's pond Mrs. Bear was hidden
behind some brush little wav up
the Laughing Brook and was sitting
quietly, waiting for a fish to come
within reach. For once Peter was
careless. He was so intent looking
tor Paddy the Beaver that he didn't
use his eyes and ears for other
things, as he should have. So he
passed within few feet of the twins
without seeing them. Just beyond
ne sat up to look over the pond for
Paddy.
Now, the twins slept each with an
ear open, as the saying is, and they
heard Peter pass. Open flew their
eyes, and they saw at once that it
was the terrible fellow who had SO
frightened them once. But, some
how, he no longer looked terrible. He
was smaller than they had thought
In fact, they were now considerably
bigger than he.. You see, they had
been growing very fast. Boxers
eyes twinkled. Perhaps this fellow
was like Chatterer the Red Squirrel.
bold and terrible only to those who
feared him. He nudged Woof- Woof.
Very softly they got to their feet
and stole up behind Peter.
"A twlg snapped under Boxers feet
Peter turned. His eyes seemed to
pop right out of his head. With a
squeal Of fright Peter jumped and
started, lipperty-lipperty-lip, for the
nearest pile of brush, and after him
raced the twins. They knew now
that this terrible fellow was more
afraid of them than ever they had
been of him, and they meant to get
even for the fright he had given
them when they were so little. 1t
was great fun.

Bedtime Stories
The Twins Get Even With Peter Rabbit
BY Thornton w. Burgess
1t isn't nice; 1T isn't kind;
tbs not at all the thing to do;
But those auho do not take chance
OF getting even are but feac
Peter Rabbit.

This is sad, but true. 1t is SO
everywhere in the Great World, and
the Great World would be a much
better place in which to live if it
were not so. 1t is the desire to get
even that makes much Of the trouble
and the hard feeling and the unhap-
piness everywhere. But there are
times when getting even certainly
does give a lot of satisfaction. 1t
was so with Buster Bears twins,
Boxer and Woof- -Woof.
You remember that the very first
time they ventured out from under
the great windfall deep in the Green
Forest, where they had been born,
Peter Rabbit had given them great
fright by humping the ground with
his hind feet as cnly Peter can
thump. The twins were 50 small
then, and they knew so little of the
Great World-in fact, nothing at all
- that Peter had seemed to them a
terrible fellow. They never had for
gotten him. Whenever they were out
side the great windfall they watched
for him, ready to run at sight, of him.
But 1T was long time before they
saw Peter again, and when they did
they had grown so that they were
considerably bigger than he Be-
SIDES, they had been out on several
trips into the Great World with
Mother Bear and had learned many
things, for little Bears learn very
fast and have the best of memories.
But, at last, they saw Peter again.
|, happened this way:
Peter had stayed away from the
Green Forest as long as he could
Then curiosity to see what was 90
ing on over there had been too much
for him, and he had started over to
visit Paddy the Beaver. He took
great care to keep away from the
great windfall, where Mrs Bear and
the twins lived. AS curious\as ne
was about those twins, and much as
he wanted to see them again, he was
too much afraid of Mrs Bear and her
short temper to take any chances.
Rut he fe.t that it would be quite
safe to visit Paddy the Beaver. for
Paddy's pond was some distance from
the great windfall.
Now, Peter didn't know that Mrs.
Bear was in the habit Of taking the
twins with her wherever she went.
50 it just happened that that very
day she had chosen to go over near
the pond of Paddy the Beaver. The
twins had played until they were
tired, and then they had curled up
for a nap in sunny spot. while their
mother went fishing in the Laughing
Brook.

TO PURCHASE AND IMPROVE
 THE WHITE OAK CEMETERY
In Few Hours Wednesday S25O Was Secured, Wholly Among Par
 ties Interested.

Mena folks seem to have arrived at that state of mind where nothing but beautiful surroundings will Satisfy, either for the living of for the beloved ones whose souls have passed into the better existence.
 Following the example of those workers to whose credit must be placed the purchase and beautifying of the l o. o. F. cemetery, Mrs Mary B Wigstrand and Mrs Minor Pipkin took mp the task of securing funds for the purchase, outright, of the White Oak cemetery property, this as first step. In few hours they had secured $250, all from parties directly interested. The next step is expected to be the formation of an association in which will rest the title to the property after the purchase is com pleted.
 When this has been done an organ ized effort will be started to beautify the cemetery and it's environs, and as this will, as all such steps do, reflect credit and be of real value to the en- tire city, it is not improbable that a general canvass for contributions will be made, much as was done in the case of the I. O. o. F. cemetery i'm provement work.

COWLESS MILK A REALITY.
Synthetic Product Is Made From Oats
 Peanuts and Water.

Boston-An absolutely pure "cow- less" milk or in other words, syn thetic milk is being made here.
 It can be made by anyone at home for few cents quart, according to Dr. Earl B. Carr of the New England sanitarium at Melrose, who announces the discovery. This synthetic milk is made of the following ingredients; Ordinary oats; ordinary peanuts; pure water; dash of salt.
 Dr. Carr and Dr. c. K. Cornforth, food expert and dietist at the institu- tion demonstrated how the cowless milk is made. It took them about five to produce quantity.
 They used a little machine not un- like sausage grinder. A handful of raw peanuts was dropped in and ground to pulpy mass. Next, a quantity of steel cut oats was run thru the grinder coming out fine white powder. This was mixed with the peanut pulp and the whole was wrapped in cheesecloth, and placed in a bowl. Over this were poured few cupsful of water
 The mixture in the cloth was knead- cd under the water, which thickened and turned white. The 'cowless" milk had been made

 WILL SEEK PART OF ESTATE ESTATE
Clara Hamon. Free, Will Ask Fourtl
 The Wife Says "No."

Ardmore, Ok, March 1s.-Now that Clara Hamon is free much interest is being manifested in the next move of the free love" girl who lived for ten years with Jake L. Hamon, politician and empire builder.
 That she will at once begin court litigation to obtain a share of the huge estate left by the multi-miIlion aire was considered certain. It was learned today on good authority that she will ask for one-fourth of the estate which includes holdings in Okla homa and Texas valued at more than $4,000,000. Hamons estate at first was estimated at $15, 5,000, ,000 but the fall in the price of crude oil is said to have greatly decreased it's value.
 Altho representatives of the Hamon interests deny the existence of will, they admit that the accused woman can tangle the estate in long litiga- tion.
 aShe will not get one cent from us,'' said Mrs. Jake L. Hamon, when told of the prospective court fight. "She's already taken enough from my chil- dren."

ing a splendid robe.


 When the highway contractor from Two Mile school house. south starte, work recently, he landed in veri. table hornets nest. The road as laid out came right thru the play ground of the school. A member of the board was on hand to look after the school districts interests with the results that nothing is done until change or satisfactory arrangement is made. At 100 yards farther the road line took 1T part of some outbuildings, nothing doing here until appraisers fixed a satisfactory damage claim. Next Mir. Brewer and the contractor adjusted their fence claim satisfactory to both parties. Next house the road line is a few feet from the door. Likewise at house of R. R. Miller. Mr. Miller made no objection, altho they set back his fences in his fields here and there. but when they started angling across his field MT. Miller stopped the work until satisfactory arrange ment could be made with the assess ors. Joining this the survey enters nearly at the northeast corner of Joe finders beautiful 40 acre field and angles across to the southwest part We predict this will be an expensive field to cross. However, slight de- tour at practically no expense will avoid this, altho crossing the same field, but it was busy morning for the contractor, who as he respected each owners rights as they existed, gained the ill will of none. It is now up to the commissioners and assess ors, possibly the courts.
