DAY BY DAY

Day by day in every way our
ball team is getting better and
better. Last Sunday the Othello
club had to travel II innings be-
fore they could down them by a
score of S to 4. Those who saw it
say that it was splendid battle
with the result in doubt until the
very last man was out. The boys
had more pep and confidence
than ever and were out there try
ing all of the time. The two teams
play again next Sunday at White
Bluffs.

LOST AND FOUND

C. /. Wright returned Wednes-
day night from Yakima, where he
had been for several days on bus
mess. When he went to his home
about | o'clock he tried to turn OH
the electric light and found there
was no globe in the socket. He
then tried to locate the bed. and
failing in that, he finally found a
match and striking light, discov-
cred that the piano was the only
article Of furniture in the house.
He was somewhat staggered for a
few minutes until he remembered
that he was building a new house
in town and concluded that the
family had moved during his alb
sence. which upon investigation
proved to be correct.

SHORT STORIES
q HAAsa5]
Blu11dering Bob

And so from the very start the
camp leader had it in for Bob. He
could not understand why the boys
always called for him when they
were ILL., That blundering fellow"
he would exclaim, why. he's just as
likely as not to give you the lini-
ment and rub you with the tonic"
Finally Bob decided that he just
couldn't stand it any longer Just
everything he did was wrong in the
sight of Mr.. Ellis. He decided he
would sneak out and 20 home. He
wouldn't tell the fellows. They would
try to persuade him to stay if he
did. The next morning when the
fellows started out on their long
hike Bob remained behind. AS soon
as they were out of sight he took his
heavy suitcase and started across
country TO the railroad station.
Bob got there just in time for the
1905 train. But when he fished in his
pocket for his money he discovered
that his pocketbook was gone. He
remembered taking it out and put
ting it his cot while he packed.
He must have forgotten to pick it up.
Poor Blundering Bob. He couldn't
even run away without making a
blunder. There was nothing to do
but go back to camp.
He was just dragging into camp
with his heavy suitcase when the fell
lows ran out to meet him. "Oh, Bob
they painted. Where have you been?
Mr.. Ellis has been hurt, and you're
the only one of US that knows what
to do. a tree fell on him and he's
unconscious. Oh, hurry"
Mr. Ellis always said after that
that Blundering Bob saved his life.
However Bob never told him that il
was one of his blunders that did it.
Evening star., 1923-08-05

ute" he called back. I'll be with
you befo' the sun sets" And he loped
off whistling coon song, while
Tommy lay still and wondered what
was coming next.
By and by Brother Coon came gal
looping back with Ma Coon. Sally
Coon and little Willy Coon trailing
along after him. All the Raccoons
made a great to-do about what an
awful Ak Tommy Turtle was in, and
Tommy didn't feel like disputing this
with them. Then they picked up
Tommy, basket and all. and carried
him away from the water and into
the brush. There they made a great
big fire, and got out the family soup
dishes. and pepper and salt. and
parsley. and all manner of things.
and all this time Tommy Turtle was
calling out about how he always did
like the Raccoon family, and didn't
they remember So-and-so. and the
Raccoons were all as pleasant as
basket of chips, but they went on
building up the fire and bringing out
spoons and dishes. and then Tommy
allowed to himself that he had better
take another tack, in d manner of
speaking.
Evening star., 1923-08-05

This kind OF talk made Tommy feel
awfully weak in the pit of his
stomach. but he called out in a much
abused voice: Come and let me out.
Brother Raccoon. Come and let me
out! 1 done got catched in a old
basket"
Old Mister Raccoon began looking
all around him, pretending not to
know where the voice came from.
Finally he discovered where Tommy
was, and he appeared nightly sur
prised. Why. bless my whiskers:" he
said. "1f it isn't little Tommy Turtle.
How came you to get in there"
Come quick, and let me out.
Brother Raccoon!" Tommy cried
"My family is expecting of me-"
Mighty sorry" replied Brother
Raccoon, but ! can't hurry because !
sprained my elbow yistiddy and it's
awfully painful. Tell you what I'll
do though" he said, "Ill take you
home and have my family let you out.
Just keep cool. and lay easy" he said,
as he hauled the basket on the end
of hiS boat When they reached the
shore, Brother Racccon paced off into
the bushes.
Just hold yo' hosses for a min
