care much what happened. and didn't
realize that dreadful little can was
no longer fast to his leg. He had
suffered so much from pain and
fright that when he was put into
that pen he wanted nothing SO much
as to curl up in the dark and rest.
Farmer Browns Boy understood
this. He had provided place. a
box with a hole in it. where Bobby
could be out Of sight In this he
had placed some hay for a bed.
There Bobby slept alb the rest Of
that day. He just had to sleep. He
was so worn out that he had to
sleep.
when he awoke 1t was dark. The
first thing Bobby thought Of was
that dreadful little can which he had
prised to find that it was no longer
on his paw. Yes, sir, at first he was
surprised. Then little by little ii
came back to him all that had hap
pened. He remembered being found
by Farmer Browns Boy and taken
out of the Green Forest 1t must be
that Farmer Browns Boy had taken
that dreadful thing off his paw. He
hadn't seen it done, you remember,
because his head had been covered
But the dreadful thing was gone and
he knew that Farmer Browns Boy
must have taken it off.
Bobby examined his hurt paw.
You remember that Farmer Browns
boy had put a bandage around it
Bobby didn't know what to make of
it He examined 1t with his nose.
He didn't like the smell. You know
Farmer Browns Boy had put oint-
ment on that hurt paw. So. because
Bobby didn't like the smell he let
that bandage alone. He didn't try
to pull it off. You see, he really
didn't mind it, because 1t didn't hurt
as that dreadful little can had hurt
But that paw was still swollen and
sore.
Bobby lay quiet until his stomach
warned him that it needed attention.
He was hungry. Bobby crept out of
the box. He could move about easily
now on three legs. OF course, it
didn't take him long to discover that
| he was q prisoner But he hardly
gave that thought You SEQ he dis
covered something else He discov-
cred food! He discovered food. and
plenty Of Il! Farmer Browns. Boy
had left a big plateful of food for
Bobby. My. my, my. how good that
did taste. Bobby ate and ate and ate.

of the monument and finished on the
other. differs so in style and express
sion from those on other monuments
Of the city that it is noticeable. 1t
is interesting to know that it is the
result of suggestion of Gen. John
NJ. Wilson, Commissioner of Public
Buildings and Grounds at the time
the statue was put up. It reads:
Sacred to the memory of Nathaniel
Greene, Esq, native of the State of
Rhode Island, who died on the 18th
of June, 1856, late Major General in
the service of the United States and
Commander of the Army In the South
ern Department. The. United States,
in Congress assembled, in honor of
his patriotism, valor and ability, have
erected this monument"
These were tho words which Con-
gress in its resolution Of 1856 or
dered to be put on the monument
which it never erected. Historical
accounts of Greene's military achieve
ments credit him with unusual skin
and courage. From a volunteer with
the rank of a private, in 1774 he
worked up to major generalship in
1776.
His brilliant expedition in New
York, his career as quartermaster
general and his success in restoring
confidence in the defeated army in
South Carolina in 1880 were evidences
Of his military ability.
History has written that through
his strategy reverses were changed
to agencies which helped to . great
degree to accomplish the victorious
peace of the Revolution.

BEAUTY CHATS
An Obstinate COMPLEXION,

In my opinion an obstinate COM
plexfon is one that will not stay clear
no matter how much attention is paid
to 1t. If you have this sort you prob
ably need to take agar-agar.
Have you a bad skin? Have you
tried dieting? Nowadays So much is
written about proper foods that every
one must know how to eat to have a
good complexion. But If, in spite of
good food, cleansing creams, OF exer-
else and of fresh air, your skin stays
muddy, then you must try agar-agar
For 1t is probab BILE that the trouble
lies in some form of constipation.
Such condition often exists un-
suspected for years. The eliminative
system of the body is so complicated
that 1t is easily upset II II does not
function almost perfectly, the least of
the resulting troubles will be sallow
skin, or a greasy one (for the skin

body). or large pores or blotches un-
der the skins surface.
Agar-agars will probably set every-
thing to rights. 1t Is q form Of sea
Weed-Japanese sea weed some drug
gists call it, 1t comes in little trans
parent flakes, which. when wet, dis
solve into sort of jelly. But the
stomach does not absorb any of it:
1T goes through the entire system and
passes off, gradually carrying poison
Gus matter away with il that often
stays months in the body. Agar
agar cleanses the entire intestinal
tract and regulates it. Mineral oils
are supposed to do this, and usually
do, but agar-agar has never failed
yet Occasionally laxative pills must
be taken to clear the system OF the
mineral oil,
Try agar-agar il your complexion
is not perfectly clear.

Rice Cooked With Brains,

Remove the skin or membrane
from one set Of beef or hog brains
and wash them all. Put two cupfuls
of rice and the brains in boiling water
and cook for 50 minutes Season
with pepper and salt to suit the taste.
II liked. a cupful OF tomatoes and a
chopped sweet pepper or two may be
added. Rice cooked in this way has
about the same flavor as rice cooked
with chicken.

Editorial Il
r. Comment
Give II Away
nv Roland T. Patten)


have done more or less preach-
ing in the effort to get Reporter read
ers to sell or exchange anything Tor
which they found little or no use.
This sermon will be on another line
but, / think, not less important. IL
is suggested by recent visit to the
st. Ledger Manufacturing Company
plant, on the river bank in the rear
of the Milburn Block. Here | found
the workmen wading around In shaV-
ings and complaining that they ala
not know what to do with them. l
asked them II they would be willing
to give them away and they said, very
enthusiastically, that they would be
grateful to anyone who came after
them. Said |, That's easy enough;
let me announce that they are TO
be disposed Of without money ana
without price and you will see them
go fast enoughi' AS result through
q notice in, Eyerybody's Column they
have been doing land Office business
in shavings. Hundreds Of people
have gotten some very nice material
for use as kindling, bedding stock,
banking houses, etc, and the st. Led
ger Manufacturing Company has got
ten rid of the shavings which were
clogging their shop, interfering with
their business, and constituting con-
slant fire menace.
Now there are many cases OF this
kind, many people who have articles
or merchandise which occupies space
and is not likely to ever be of value to
them, This same stuff would be turn
ed to splendid advantage by someone
else. In any such case the Reporter
offers it's services free. Announce
anything you have to give away thru
our Everybodys Column with no ex-
pense to yourself or anyone else.
For example, forewarned as to the
Volsted Act, you may have filled up
your wine cellar. Later on, having
been convinced that alcoholics were
harmful to you, you have decided to
discontinue their use. Now, you see,
the law says you cannot sell this stuff
and leaves you In dilemma. That
is right where the Independent-Re-
porter comes in We would not be
allowed, anyway, to advertise 1t for
sale. but I think there are no legal
restrictions on an announcement that
you have 1t to give away. So you
people with oyerstocked wine cellars,
recently converted to the temperance
idea, come to us and we will rapidly
and speedily make your burden light
We are in earnest about the general
idea herein expressed. There must
be clothing, furniture, surplus vege-
tables, shavings, sawdust, and hun
0red other things scattered around
Somerset County which the owners
would be glad to be rid of and we
can help them out very nicely.
