Didn't Know His Brother

MY brother got 50 bad with stom-
ach and liver trouble that when I saw
him after a year | didn't know him.
He was emaciated and yellow as a
pumpkin and was often in great pain.
He couldn't have lived long the way
he was going. Doctors and medicine
gave him no relief. ] picked up a lit
tie booklet on Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy, which he said described his case
perfectly. The first dose of it gave
him great relief and in a month he was
good as ever" 1t is a simple, harmless
preparation that removes the catarrhal
mucus from the intestinal tract and
allays the inflammation which causes
practically all stomach. liver and intes-
final ailments. including appendicitis.
One dose will convince or money re-
funded. Model Pharmacy and drug
gists everywhere.

! STORIES OF PETS i,
FOR ABILENE kIDDlES Z

All of you know Marshal Henry
Engie but perhaps there are only
few boys and girls In Abilene
who know about his pets. Marshal
Engle lives ON West Fourth street
mt the end OF the street, by the
creek. Sometimes when you go
over that way look In the back
yard and see the ducks and geese
an dtwo pretty dogs which he has
inside the fence. One Of the dogs
Ia a hunter named Bruce. He Is
IS years old which Is an old age
for a dog but he still enjoys going
out with his master. He Is not
quick and strong as he was when
he was young but has to be lift
ed into the automobile In which
he rides to the country. Once out
there however, he works like a
much younger dog, smiling the
ground for the scent Of wild game,
rabbits, ducks and quail such as
hunters shoot. When he gets wind
of something he stands perfectly
still with his nose pointing In the
direction Of the game he smells,
For this reason Bruce and dogs
like him are called Pointers. His
master is careful to watch him for
as soon as he sees him stop with
his nose In the air, he knows
Bruce has found some game. All
dogs do not hunt as Bruce does
but some have very keen eyes.
Greyhounds for instance never
follow game by the scent for they
have not sensitive noses but they
can see far, far ahead Of them and
they run swiftly, keeping what
ever they chase within sight until
they catch it or 1t runs to cover.
Bruce thinks his way Of hunting
is the best because he can find
little birds or animals even when
they are hidden away. His nose
tells him where they are.
Albert Vance who goes to Gar
field school has a dog which he
thinks is one Of the finest in the
WHOLE world, and this is what he
tells about his four-legged play
mate:
my dog can pull me in my
wagon or sled and he works for
me too. His name is Fluffy. l
named him that because when he
was little his fur was SO fluffy and
curly. He is white with a little
brown in spots. But boy, If he
can't run I'll eat my boots. He
goes like a the wind after rabbits
and the cows. His ears are short.
He can prick up his ears when he
hears something. He plays with
the cat but he never hurts her.
When l play house he will sleep
with me. He puts his head on the
pillow and I cover him up. He
likes candy. When he hears a
paper rattle he thinks it is a pack
of candy and always wants some.
l think / will have to name him
"hot dog" / think he is the best
dog in the whole world. / used
to have coyote and l thought 1t
was best but l have found out
that Fluffy is the best now. He
is a good dog for l have had to
spank him only once. l MADE him
a dog house and that is where he
sleeps"

Henry jameson has a little
squirrel which is quite an unusual
pet he thinks and very fine one.
Here is what he says about it:
II kept my squirrel in a cage
for a while until he got tame and
now I let it out once in a while.
He likes to get out and when he
does he runs around over the yard
and plays. 1 got my squirrel out
in the street. He was crippled
when I found him and looked like
his leg was broken. His leg has
got well now and he can climb
trees and jump as well as any
squirrel. He eats nuts and cook
les. We had some English wal
nuts out to dry one day and he
took some Of them and buried
them. One day last week I saw
him out in the garden digging
them up and taking them to his
bed. He sleeps in a tall bush near
the house. He plays with other
squirrels until time to come home
at night and then gets in his bed
and eats supper. Then gets out
and plays again."

Bootleg liquor, confiscated In raids
made by county officers and held by
the probate court, YVES destroyed Fri
cay morning at the order of Judge
L. Jay Duke.
The ceremony was witnessed with
interest by considerable number,
courthouse officials and others. At
10 a H. Sheriff Lytle and Probation
Officer Purcell began bringing out the
contiscated liquor in bushel baskets.
There were some AZ bottles of, all
sizes, shapes and colors, six one-gal-
Ion jugs, one two-gallon jug, three
mason jars, one two-quart jar, and one
large-mouthed candy jar
Some of the spectators took inquir-
ing whiffs at the bottles as though
seeking lost acquaintance. In the
entire lot there was just one bottle
that gave forth anything that init
mately resembled the smell of whis-
key.
Some of the stuff was clear and
sparkling. Attemps had been made to
clor others. A number of containers
held stuff 1t is almost impossible to
believe was intended for human con-
sumptin. 1t smelled vilely and look
ed worse.
AS the liquor was poured upon the
SIT gravel by Sheriff Lytle, Deputy
Walker, officer Purcell and Others
the air was permeated with the un-
mistakable smell of alcohol. There
were other smells and odors, less
pleasant, intermingled. Hic, jacet

Charles Smith, who lives on the Co.
lumbus road, was placed under arrest
Friday morning on a charge Of forg
cry by Sheriff Lytle and Deputy Sher-
iff Walker. He is being held in the
county Jail.
It appears that c. H. Crumley and
G. f. Colville, executors Of the es-
tate of Sarah ]. Burris, issued check
to Mrs. Charles Smith, who lives in
the east part of Mt. Vernon, in the
sum of $1S7.26. By mistake the let
ter containing the check was deliver
ed to another Mrs. Charles Smith,
who lives on Route on the Columbus
road.
On Wednesday, April s, the check
was presented and was cashed at the
bank. The check bore the signed en-
dorsement of "Mrs. Charles Smith"
Although Smith is known to have
exhibited the check and to have made
the statement that his wife had re-
ceived an Inheritance, he denied all
knowledge of the paper when first
questioned by the officers.
The officers have learned that the
same day Smith cashed the check he
made deposit of 500 at the First
National bank and of SIS at the Knox
Co. Savings Bank.
Smith formerly was employed by
the Ohio Fuel Supply Co. but was
laid off two months ago. He has had
no regular work since being laid Off.
Smith is accused of having forged
the endorsement on the check issued
to Mrs. Charles Smith, not his wife.

COURT NOTES

County Auditor Rinehart is going
after dog owners in Knox county who
have failed to obtain license tags for
their dogs.
Information given out at the Office
Of the county auditor today shows
that there are number of persons
shy on dog tags this year In other
words, there are several licenses shy
of the number that were listed for
taxation last year.
While Knox county has no official
dog catcher, County Auditor Rinehart
announced that Sheriff Lytle would
be instructed to arrest law violatOrs
and that affidavits would be filed by
the auditor against persons who have
failed to obtain dog licenses.
The county auditor pointed out that
one arrest was made by the sheriff
last week wherein the owner of dogs
had failed to provide the necessary
license tag.
The first year the dog tag law went
into effect - 1918 - County Auditor
Rinehart states, 5000 license tags
were issued in Knox county. So far
this year but $500 tags. have been is.
sued. The figures also show that
many of the dogs listed for taxation
have not been tagged" consequently
the sheriff may have quite task on
his hands apprehending the law vio-
lators.
"All dogs three months Of age
should have a license tag" said the
auditor. There is no protection for
the dog that has no license tag"

While other places have been hav.
ing a visitation of floods and high
waters as a result of the recent rains,
it would seem that Mt. Vernon is to
escape such, at least for the present.
Reports Saturday were that the
storm of Friday had brought the Ko-
kosing up to moderate degree but
not in a manner to cause extensive
damage or much apprehension From
the power house the report was
brought that the river came up about
three feet. 1t began to fall about
2:30 a. m. and by a. m. Saturday,
had fallen six inches. 1t continued
to fall thereafter.
There was no reason at any time
for apprehension the water would
come over the dixie. The cessation of
the storm at $3.50 p. m. removed all
further fears of a continued RISE It
would have been necessary for the
water to have come up six feet fur
ther before there would have been
dnager of the water going over or
breaking through the dixie.
There were some rumors current to
the effect that the water had got in
to the power house but these were
denied specifically by Supt. Pickard
and Service Director Phillips.
