why did you not return my pets
when you read the advertisement Of
fering a reward for their return Z!
asked Mr.. Watson when he heard the
lame excuses of the kidnapers.
Believe me or not" replied Jim.
Il never saw it, as l don't read the
papers. I amt got no money to
change to keep myself and them an
imals. for I fed them fine. as you can
see by their fat Sides
es. you probably fed them well
so they would keep healthy and be
able to perform the tricks you put
them through, which seems to be
your only means of support"
At this moment Tom appeared at
the top of the hill, and a sorry sight
he was with his dripping wet clothes,
and hairs bringing over his face
Where did you come from % ask
ed Mr.. Watson.
81 just came from the pond where
Billy butted me 1 can't imagine
why my pet goat should have treated
me SO when I never did anything to
him. l was just standing still do
ing nothing when he took after me
and to escape him I jumped into the
pond"
He was probably getting even with
you for past i'll treatment and that
was the first time he saw a chance to
do so,'' suggested Mr. Watson.
II amt never done nothin' to him.
said Tom N an injured tone.
LAS long as you men did not know
those animals belonged to me and
|'have taken the time to teach them
tricks. by which they have made d
living for you both, I will give you
each $40 to keep you until you can
find something else to do for a hv-
ing said Mr.. Watson, for it was plain
to be seen he meant to keep his pets.
Couldn't sell 'em so cheap
seems we got attached to 'em and
taught 'em so many tricks. You see
we might never be able to find such
smart ones again. We have tried to
teach lots Of other goats, dogs, cats
and burros tricks. but they were SO
stupid we couldn't" said Tom.
"I am very sorry for you, but mon
ey could not buy these pets of mine.
said Mr.. Watson. The burro does
not belong to me, but she belongs to
neighbor, who is as fond Of her as
am of my goat, dog and cat. and
he has spent many dollars trying to
find her. So am afraid you will
have to give UP even her.
The dinner bell rang just then, and
Mr.. Watson invited both Tom and
Jim to go around to the kitchen and
them a good dinner before they
started on their sorry way, without an
animal to earn their living for them.
While the kidnapers were sitting
under the trees waiting for the cook
to call them to dinner, Jim said:
tom, I tell you what we will do.
Well say goodbye go down the
road as If we were leavin', first max
in a bug fuss with tears in our eyes
as we say goodbye to the goat and
burro as If it was breakin' our
hearts to leave 'em. Then we will
hide in the bushes until near mid
night, when we are sure everybody
is asleep. Then we will sneak back
and kidnap 'em over again, right
from under their owners nose"
"You can't do it, Jim. We will
never be able to steal the four of EN-
without help, and when we can find
somebody who will be willing to help

more alive to it's merits today than
ever before Very few towns and
cities are without a Chamber of

to be without one is to retrograde.
1t is a necessary civic institution and
is now recognized as such. It's aim
is to be thoroughly democratic and
thoroughly representative of the city

men who are not actively engaged
in business will help toward making
it So The solicitors are having good
success and before the campaign
