ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Johnny Jack Rabbit. was having
the most beautiful time. He was
racing with himself, or rather he
was racing with his shadow.
"Tll bet I can beat you to the
aspen tree" he painted, starting te
run again without waiting for ar
answer.
Suddenly he began to chuckle
"I'll fool him." he began to himself
"1'll fool that silly shadow fellow
I'll put on my wind brake and stop
so quickly, he'll 60 on ahead and not
notice where I've gone. III hide in
that patch Of sweet clover and he'll
never find me. iTm tired of him 60
ing everywhere I 60.
Johnny Jack Topped along on his
long legs for minute or two, his
shadow sticking close beside him,
and no wonder it made Johnny
nervous.
All at once Johnny stuck his enor-
nous ears forward like sails on a
cat boat CHS "wind-brake" he called
them) and it stopped him as sudden
ly as, wreck. And then without
a look to right or left, he slid into
the patch of sweet clover that grew
ten times as high as his head, and
stopped. 1t was like going into a
forest, all dark and quiet and sweet
smelling with not bit of sunshine
anywhere.
Johnny looked around carefully.
"Hee, hee hee," he giggled. 81
los him that time! That silly old
shadow of mine is still going, l bet
you. He'll wonder where I've gone.
Well, well! While I'm here may
as we'll be enjoying myself. I'm!
I'm! This clover SMELLS wonderful"
And he began to break off great
punches with his teeth and chew
them up as fast as he could.
He was so busy eating a d
chuckling over his own joke that he
never noticed a dark shaggy figure
with it's nose to the ground, that had
followed him into the clover patch.
It was Sniffer Ky-oty,s Johnny
Jacks worst enemy.
Suddenly Sniffer made a mis-step
and twig cracked under his foot.
Johnny raised his head at that
If that pesky shadow hasn't found
mel" he declared in disgust. "Well
I'll show him! I'm not going to
have him around"
And he streaked outzof the clover
patch, right under Sniffer's aston
ished nose, and tore home.
Mister Gallop and Nancy and
Nick saw the whole thing. IF
Johnny had known that was Sniffer.

it's a good thing to be foolish"

Down in Yucatan, southern Mexico army of Indians
under the direction of scientists digging up the palaces
and temples of the ancient civilization of the Maya people
They lived than 1000 years ago and sufficiently
advanced to produce of artists.
The Indians have several of digging ahead of them
Discoveries fascinating possibly sensational will be made
You'll read lot about this digging job in the between

Chichen Itsa chief city of the Mayas large
Chicago is today Thousands of years from now, future
scientists may be digging out of mud and sand the remains
of Chicago.
Over in England Queen Mary finishes her famous dolls
house. It's only eight feet high But the greatest English
architects designed it. English artists painted tiny pic
lures to hang it's walls Barrie and other writer's wrote
miniature books for it's library.
This dolls house to be passed to future generations
perfect record of fine English home in 1923. 1t has
modern plumbing, electrical fittings, garage housing
autos perfect to the last deaeven wine cellar with real
hoOch in small bottles.
No matter what may be dug up in the Maya ruins Of
Yucatan it will crude alongside the devices of modern
times lot of change in 1000 years. And after
another 1000 the dolls house of Queen Mary will
crude Maya ruins today.

BESSEMER BUREAU
THE AGE-HERALD /


A bill to create additional judicial
powers for the Bessemer inferior
court will be introduced at the ses-
sion Of the legislature at the instance
of the Bessemer Bar association.
BY this bill the local court will also
become a court of misdemeanors for
the trial of minor criminal cases
that are now being handled by the
circuit court. The bill also provides
for the appointment of an addition
al solicitor at Bessemers
The entire jefferson county dele
cation IN both houses favors passage
of this bill. according to Bessemsr
attorneys. The Bessemer Bar associa-
titn has given its unanimous in
dorsement.
Immediate effect of the bill will
be to relieve the circuit court of
the number of minor criminal cases
that are now pending. The docket of
the circuit court is badly congested
and the possibility of a relief in this
way is of great interest to court at
taches.
The inferior court at this time
handles only civil cases and prelim-
mary hearings. The passage of the
bill would add largely to the work
and to take care of this. the bill
provides increased salary of the
Judge and clerks.
