down to the creek, which flowed
at the foot of the hill back of the

never could resist playing practi-
cal jokes ON some one
So, when Ben was not paying
any attention, he proceeded to
turn all Bens clothes inside out
and tie them up in knots. Ben
would have a time, all right, when
he tried to dress.

his eagerness to get into the water
before Ben noticed what he was

spot from which to make a dive,
and went off at one of the few
shallow places.
The next thing Ben knew, Ran

and there was a big cut on his

The story of 1.-The Last Days of
Pompeii' is made up" story
about a real event. The Italian
seaport town of Pompeii, a little
smaller in population than Rich
mond is now, was the resort where
wealthy people Of Rome spent their
leisure time. 1t was the base of the
mountain Vesuvius. On the oath
of August, 70 A. d. this town and
the neighboring town of Herculan-
cum were entirely covered up by
a great flow Of lava from the vol
cano, Vesuvius.
1t was not until 1748 when n
peasant was digging a we'll that the
first of the we'll preserved build
ings of Pompeii was discovered.

and hours over old Tan's invention,
Tangrams have long been favor
tie pastime.
Tan's puzzle is easy to make. Cut
a square of stiff cardboard into sew
en- pieces. First, mark off with
pencil the lines on which to cut.
For convenience our illustration
shows the four corners of the card
board, numbered /, 2. 8, 4. Draw
a straight line from to 3. Hall
way between 2 and 4, place a dot.
This is A. Half way between 3
and 4, place another dot, B. Con-
meet the two with a straight line.
Find the center of the line 2-3.
Place dot, point c, at this center,
and connect it with 1. Continue this
line from G to the center of the
line ALB, at point d. From q, the
center of the line &c, draw a line
TO B. And another line is drawn
from F, the center OF the line &c,
to ID. This divides the square into
seven parts.
After cutting the square into
pieces with scissors or sharp
knife, following closely the pencil
lines, You are ready to work the
great Tangram.
The problem is to put all seven
pieces together no piece overlap
ping another, to make figures of
people, animals and objects
Our illustration shows an old,
stopped man taking his morning
stroll. The small outline figure
in front OF the old man shows how
the seven pieces are fitted together

You feel like you was dead;
But all the fellows in our gang
Had been to Jail, you see,
And used to boast about it, too,
A-lookin' down on me.
This time-a kind of funny thing
Cop took me in a room,
A sort of nice and sunny place,
And quiet as a tomb.
A desk was cross one end of it,
At which there sat guy
With grayish hair and funny smile,
And twinkle in his eye.

T. o. Greene, of King, Johnson
g. Co., received the surprise of his
life this morning when three of his
brothers, whom he had not seen in
nearly IL years, came into town to
surprise him. That the surprise
was decided success is proved by
T. OI taking one of his brothers all
over town in a search for their
brother in law, D. P. Harris, not
knowing who his companion was.
When he returned to the store
on Main street, the two other
brothers were introduced to him as
Jones and Smith, which introduc-
ton he accepted without batting an
eyelash. Thinking the joke had
gone far enough, the brothers then
introduced themselves.
The brothers are w. o. and j. H.
Greene Of Ft. Worth, Texas, and L.
A. Greene of Abilene, Texas. They
are also brothers of Mrs. d. p.
Harris, and the local relatives are
going to see to it that the visitors
have a good time while here. They

SENATOR CHARGES
MONOPOLY IN.CAS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Ameri-
IS oil industry is dominated by a
few large producing companies and the
price of gasoline "is fixed arbitrarily
by the oil monopolists, Senator Har-
reid, Oklahoma, charged in the senate
today, urging duty in the tariff bill
of 35 cents barrel on crude petroleum
and 25 cents barrel on fuel oil i'm
ported into this country.
Refuting the argument that tariff
would increase the price of gasoline
and oil to the consumer, Harreld de-
clared that it is the policy of these
monopolists to buy the crude oil as
cheaply as possible and to sell it for
all the public will pay and the pur-
chaser will be forced to pay by the
monopolists whether the tariff is added
or not. -
Harreld attacked the Standard Oil
Co., Edward l.. Doheny Co. and the
Royal Dutch Shell Co. on grounds that
they had monopoly in Mexican pro-
duction and were seeking monopoly
in the production in the United States.
Gasoline prices have been raised and
lowered. Harreld stated, without re-
spect of the law of supply and demand.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Aug 16.-
California fruit growers, facing pos
sible loss of their $50,000,000 crop,
gathered in San Francisco today to
discuss what steps they should take.
While the growers were meeting, the
first fruit trains in nearly a week,
were rolling eastward. Some 300 ears
tied up at Roseville, were reiced and
moved during the day, the Southern
Pacific reported.
The growers named committee to
lay their case before the Interstate
commerce commission.
Uuless the crop can be moved with
in 40 days, they estimated, it will
mean financial ruin to the industry.
Representatives of the Southern Pa
cific, Santa Fe and Western Pacific
railroads assured the conference that
priority will be given to fruit and other
perishable shipments.
Santa Fe officials announced the
resumption Of two more through trains

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16-lt has
been left for woman to halt Chin
ese tong warfare after all the efforts
of police, immigration officials and
peacemakers had failed.
Aud by her action, which sets q
precedent in the Chinatowns of Am
erica, Chinese womanhood for the first
time has dared to voice itself in the
councils for tongmen.
Women sought and were refused a
place ut the peace council of world
nations, but Mrs. Chong Use Sing has
shown what woman can do.
Her husband had been slain by a
highbinder IS bullet. He had been pre6-
ident of the suey Sings, proudeat of
the tongs.
Under the well established war rules
at least five ordinary lives should be
taken to equal the score. Also, 1t has
been the custom for widows to enjoy
such revenge.
But not for Mrs. Chong. She look
ed upon her five fatherless cSildren
and to her came the cry of other be-
reaved mothers. So she pressed her
way into the war council. Only those

alize how daring was her step.
And this was her message in muSi-
cal Cantonese to the heads of the tong:
cit is given to men to make wars
and fight them. But in the end 1T IL
the women who are asked to pay The
price of bereavement.
"For however goes the warfare
there will be fatherless children and
widows.
"Do not rob more children and
wives! In my own grief it has come
TO me that my fellow women, against
whom l nurse no grudge, should he
spared.
"Instead of revenge let me ask for
peace! Why should the innocent
suffer-
Gas widow of the man whose death
you would avenge; as the one most
directly affected, let me plead for the
other women and children.
Such, says Mrs. Chong, must be the
plea of all Chinese women in the flu

And it has brought a halt to what
might have proved one of the bitter

SHAWBRIDGE, Que, Aug. 16.-Ten

Thomas LeGault, caretaker and his

Collapse of the building where the

the horror as reseuers fought vainly to
aid the children. Only the fact that a
majority of the orphans slept out Of

Twelve bodies were recovered, but
some could not be identified today.
Stairs were cut off by fire and
smoke and many children were saved in
thrilling rescues, being lowered from
the third floor by ropes made from
blankets and sheets knotted together
These ropes were hurriedly improvis-

the structure, putting whitening blasts
