TO Kill Many
Horses For
Fertilizer
by United rrcss Leased Wire

by United Trcss Leased Wire
KLAMATH FALLS, Dec. 28.
What is believed to be the
greatest display of ungrateful-
ness in the world is being shown
for the faithful horse tribe here.
A California butcher has en-
tered negotiations with the
klamath Indian service for pur-
chase of several thousand head
of horses which are running wild
or the Indian range. They are
to be slaughtered for chicken
feed and fertilizer.
The horses have become quite
a menace to the cattle range
owing to their great number.
They run in abundance in the
vicinity of the Sprague River.
The wild horses are descend
ants of the original Irdian cay
uses.

Not Crazy--Just
Earning a
Living

Queer calls for assistance
from the police are frequently
received at the police station,
but the prize one, according 20
Chief Barker, came in recent
" from a woman resident of
the south end.
This party told the officer
answering the telephone thas
there was crazy man on
Orange street, between Fourth
Fifth who, despite the rain
that was falling, had been
standing in the road for over an
hour, waving his arms in
strange fashion.
The police car was sent to
the scene, the officer equipped
with a straight jacket, and
ready for a struggle with
violent maniac. Arriving at
the designated place, they could
see no sign of a crazy man,
but they did see It member of
the city engineers force, who
was earning his daily wage III
his usual manner as a member
of a surveying party, estab-
fishing curb and pavement lines
on the street.
Following the usual engin-
eer's code, he was sending sig
mails to the mar behind the tran
sit, by waving his arms. He
denied every insinuation by the
officers that he was crazy, and
refused to accept the services
of the straight jacket when it
was offered him.

then, on day, something dreadful
happened. Dottie wound up the
doll s walking spring, and the little
lamb girl wound up the dolls talk
ing spring.
But nothing happened!
Dottie S Doll didn t walk and Dot
tie 5 doll didn't talk.
"Oh, dear!' cried Dottie my
Christmas doll is broken! Will you
fix her for me Daddy?'
Mr.. FIufftail shook the doll, he
turned her upside down and right
side up, and even iiggled her. But
Dottie's doll would not walk and
Dottie's doll would not talk.
"Oh, dear!" sighed the little lamb
girl again. "What can we do, Dad
dy?'
1--WE must send for Uncle Wig
gily," said Mr.. Flufftail. And so
the old rabbit gentleman was sent
for.
"Um. Ah' murmured Uncle Wig
gily as he twinkled his pink nose and
looked at DOttie's doll.
"Do you think you can mend her
so she will walk again and talk
again?" asked Dottie anxiously.
Il think so. answered the bun
ny. "I'll take her to my hollow
stump bungalow and fix her. 1
think her springs need oiling as
ToOdle's tooter did. Leave it to
me-"
So Uncle Wiggily hoped home to
his hollow stump bungalow, taking
Dottie's doll with him. And, as the
rabbit gentleman hoped along car
rving the doll, the Bob Cat, bad chap
that he was, looked out from behind
a bush. Curling his wiskers and
showing his teeth the Bob Cat said
TO himself:
"Ah! ah!" Uncle Wiggily is taking
home some company. He'll be so
busy talking TO his company that
can easily slip in and nibblc his
ears. That S what III do. -
So the Bob Cat followed along be-
hind the rabbit gentleman as Uncle
Wiggily hoped to his bungalow
with Dottie s doll under his paw.
"Lct me see, now, what is the
NATTER said Uncle Wiggily to
himself, for Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuz-
~ had gone to the movies and the
rabbit gentleman had the bungalow
to himself. "First / will oil the
springs, then / Will let them unwind
and then l will wind them again.
This may start the doll working"
50 Uncle Wiggily oiled the springs
inside the doll. Then he let them un-
wind, and then he wound them up
by means Of the keys in the doll s
back. The bunny gentleman wait
ed, but the doll did not walk and
the doll did not talk.
This IS queer.' said Uncle Wig
gily. "Perhaps ! did not use the
right kind Of oil. I'll try some olive
oil Oh the DOLL Leaving Dottie 5
doll in the parlor, Uncle Wiggily
went into the kitchen to get the
olive oil And, just as the bunny
went out, in through the parlor
window climbed the Bob Cat.
"Now I'll nibblc Uncle Wiggily's
ears," suickered the Bob Cat. Then
he saw Dottie's doh lying On
chair, but the Bob Cat did not know
it Was a doll. "Hello, little girl'
cried the Bob Cat. Where did
Uncle Wiggily go?"
But the doll did not answer, of
course.
"Come, you are not very polite."
snapped the Bob Cat. "You should
speak when you are spoken to.
Where is Uncle WiggilyH But the
doll did not answer.
Then the Bob Cat most impolitely
became angry aud he hit and jiggled
the doll and snarled:
"Answcr met"
And then, all Of a sudden, the
springs inside the doll began TO
work. Up She rose and she not only

Is the Bible the nfallible word of God? Was Jesus

Periodically the Christian church has been rent from

LENTAN SEASON
OPENS TODAY
ENDING APRIL ]

Today, Ash Wednesday, is the
beginning of the season Of Lent
which closes on April /, period Of
forty days.
This is one Of the four famous
forty day periods mentioned in the
Bible, two mentioned in the old tes-
lament, one bling the time when
Moses received the ten command
ments and when Elijah heard the
voice in the wind on Mt. Horab. and
two in the new testament, the one
being the forty days Of Lent prior
to Easter the other being the forty
days Christ spent in the wilderness.
The churches will observe this sea-
son in various ways. The most strict
observance is probably made by the
Roman Catholics who have masses
during the entire period with num-
Der of special celebrations. During
the season very little social life is
INDUCED in by the Catholics, and it
is period for various kinds of
observances, most people fast to Il
certain extent and deprive them
selves of various pleasures of or
binary life
For the Episcopalians and the
Lutherans. the season is observed
to some extent in the same way as by
tho Cath olics while the protestant
churches place most emphasis upon
Palm Sunday and Eastern services,
although they cons der it time of
prayer and period for repentance
and self denial
To Protestants and Catholics alike
it is Il period of. deep religious sig
nificance'
