Billy Whiskers
By Frances Trego Montgomery.

In the morning when Billy, Stubby and Button awoke, stretched theno selves and looked around they found they were within a short distance of a very large barnyard, around which were clustered buildings of every des- criptton from a barn, buIginE witt, hay and straw to a pen filled with pigs. Behind the stable was a. large coward, through the fence of which they could see COWS, horses, colts. seep and goats.
 Bless my souI!" exclaimed Billy. This farmer keeps a. regular 1nena- gerIe, 1t seems to me. The only do- mestic animals missing are mules and burros."
 "oh, they are there too" said Stubby. Don't you see that big, white mule over there near the stable door?"
 Il took him for a. big steer when l first 1oked." replied Billy. ~Let's go up and talk to the animals through the bars of the fence and find out what kind of a man their master is EXcellent idea"' exclaimed But 1 ton.
 And the three friends walked Iefs- | urely toward the stab1eyard By all that's wonderful, is that you, Billy Whiskers?" exclaimed a goats voice as they were strolling along the fence, trying to make up their minds to whom they would speak first.
 Well, if it isn't Widow Brown!'' said Billy, addressing a spotted goat that stuck her nose through the fence to speak to him. T can't tell you how delighted I am to see you,' she returned cordial ly- "But how in the world you hap pen to be here is what puzzles mel" Then Billy told her about the kid nappers. and she in turn related how it was she was there and all that hap pened to her since last they met over two years ago. Looking past Billy just then, she spled Stubby and Button for the first time and nearly fell over iu her sur prise to find them with Billy. Will wonders ever cease? That you three should be travelling together just as you were two years ago when I first met youi If you will all come around to the other side of the cow yard, I will show you 8 hole no one knows of but me. where you can squeeze through into the yard, and when you get in, I'll find you a good breakfast
 Trust the Widow Brown to know where there is a hole to crawl through at any time she chooses said Billy.
 At the farther side of the yard, close against the straw stack. where the loose straw hid the opening, a. board was off the fence and it was through this hole the three friends craw1ed.
 (Tomorrow you will hear more of the Widow Brown.)

DINNER STORIES

Little Jackie was spending a hofi- day in the country and was highly en- tertained by everything he saw in the barn and farmyard.
 The old red hens cackle to an. nounce that she had laid an egg was never-faiIing source of delight. He always wanted someone to get the egg imm mediateIy.
 One day he was allowed the priv iiege of going all by himself to fetch the treasure.
 In a few minutes he came running back excitedly, but his. eagerness was too great. He ripped and fell.
 In a minute his hands and blouse were smeared with yellow as he clufched bits of broken shell
 But he came up smiling to his mother.

By NORMAN E. BROWN
HE CRAB" IS BACK.

HE CRAB" IS BACK
 And Chicago fans are happy. The Crab is Johnny Evers, socaIled crab because of his fighting spirit and eternal riding of umpires. He has signed to help Kid Gleason with his White Sox. It is the first time Evers has ever been connected with the American League club in Chicago which makes his return doubly inter- esting. He broke away from the Ma
 ttonal League once before-being a. member of the Red Sox strategy
 board for a few weeks in 11S. But the war ended that berth and he fell
 back to his old love after peace came.
 He won his fame as the key man In
 that wonderful Cub infeld, .HTInker
 to Evers to Chance as everyone knows, but the reign of that greax infield was but one chapter in what has been a remarkable career.
 Evers joined the Cubs in 1902, when Frank Selee was managing that club. Chance succeeded Seelee in 19O3. Evers was the one and only choice to succeed Frank when "the Peerless Leader" re1inquished the managerial reins in 1912. The next year the Cubs finished third, but that didn't hinder Charley Murphy from canning Evers. '"The Crab"' showed his Ioy- atty to the old league by passing up juicy Federal league offers and sign ing with the Braves. He taught Rab- bit Maranvil1e how to be a star short stop and helped the Braves win the pennant and world title.
 His playing days over Evers found his services as tutor and counselor in demand. The Red Sox Giants and Reds called him in for help. Then he wa sasked to lead the Cubs. They go taway good last year, but internal strife wrecked the club and Evers stepped out in favor of Bin Killifer.
 Evers was born at Troy. N. Y. March 21, 1883. He broke into base ball with the home town team in the New York State League in 1902 and Inside of three months was bought by the Cubs.

No person whose nerves are continually
irritated whose appetite and digestion are dis

Those who drink tea or coffee are often suf-

contain caffeine Substance which has a decided
etinulant action on the nerves and brain cells.
Each cup of strong coffee contains about as
large dose OF caffeine as your doctor would
ordinarily give to very sick person.

this stimulant regularly to a well person might
finally have tendency to make him sick.

MOTHER, QUICK! GIVE

Even a sick child loves the "fruity"
taste Of california Fig Syrup" If the

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer 4 Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.
