No Souvenirs

A hospital trip proved disappointing
to two little South side neighbors this
week.
'Half-past 4" Betty was to have her
tonsils removed at the same time as
her four-year-old playmate, Bobby
Their parents took them to the same
hospital. the hospital from which
Betty's mother had returned just the
preceding month with baby brother
for Betty.

which the fatal shot had been fired.
Altogether the general was lucky
in securing a splendid bag. AS re-

the general, while Mrs. Mitchell was
responsible for two good-sized I'll

shikar."
General Mitchell, it appears, put on
no "side" The state minister says:
although an officer of high rank, he
freely moved among all classes so I'M
ostentatiously that a majority of the
people were loath to believe that he
held any rank at ALL" But the ma
haraja knew better and held special
durbar In honor of ''this great officer
of government so friendly to Brit
ain" And to this special durbar
General Mitchell wore his full uni
form and all his decorations. The
guests of honor were received by the
heir apparent and the young Raj
Kumar. The guard of honor present
ed arms and the state band blared.
At the durbar gate the maharaja re-
ceived them and conducted them to
the dais. The durbar was attended
by the raj pandits and state officials.
The maharaja then made suitable
speech" of welcome. He spoke of the
allied decorations worn by General
Mitchell and said:
"These marks OF honor" he said,
"are but too evident upon your breast
which is crowdedly decorated with
medals and brilliant stars of the high
est order"
incidentally it may be stated that
General Mitchelps decorations make
quite a show. He has at least eight,
including d. s. M. and D. s. G. His

The American generals hunting ex-
ploits were next praised. HIS quick

General Mitchell thanked the maha-
raia for zone of the great events of
our lives" and praised the rulers hos
pitality and his solicitude for the
progress and welfare Of his people.
He then recounted his impressions of
tiger hunting, saying in part:
"We reach the machans at last and
dismount from the kneeling elephants.

A MYSTERY

HAPPENED on a mystery,

On the bank / found book
Down beside shady brook,
Yes, sir, yonder by "the crick"
Found brown arithmetic.
How 1t got there, hard to tell;
Maybe put there, maybe fell.
There 1t lay, book of sums
Bearing marks of smudgy thumbs.
Looking blankly at the sky
Just as though 1t wondered why,
How it got there. That to me
Also is mystery.
Near 1t was fishing-hole.

From the bushes sticking out
It was there without "A doubt
Not split bamboo affair,
Just an alder cut somewhere
And 1t seemed to me the line
Wasn't silk, but COTTON Irvine.
On the water, seemed to me,
Something else that l could see;
Just cork, cork of brown,
Slowly bobbing up and down.
It's a mystery, as / say;
For I'm sure there's school today.

there is no telling how long the ma
tives will continue to sing the song.
1t may make the "Flying General
immortal. Anyway, the mahara1a
of Sirguja said at the durbar in honor
of the Mitchells:
"This song win be repeated from
village to village and in due course
will be a festival song all over Sir
guja. This is not small compliment,
for it will MAKE your good name Inn

1t all came about in this way: Gen
eral Mitchell, who Is assistant chief
of the United States air service, was
making IAN inspection tour of the
Orient" In semi-official capacity. In
Calcutta he met the maharaja of Sir
guja who invited him to go home
with him and shoot some tigers. Sir
guja, 1t appears, is renowned for its
big game hunting and tigers are its
specially. Now the Mitchells have
not talked for publication Of their
experiences. And 1t is likely that
their prowess as tiger slayers would
be celebrated only In Sirguja, were
1t not for Chief Minister D. D. Dadi-
master of Sirguja. Minister Dadi-
master felt 1t incumbent upon him to
write an account, inasmuch as he act
ed as guide, philosopher and friend,
to say nothing of translates and an
nalist. And that account has now
Sound its way to the United States.
'.Then General and Mrs. Mitchell
were received by the maharaja at the
splendid guest house where every ar
rangement was made for the comfort
of the guests" says the state min
lister. On the fourth day the general
got his first tiger, which was "a big
one" The next day he got another,
also "a big one" A little later it
was Mrs. Mitchell's turn.
"Mrs. Mitchell" says the state min
lister, "who generally accompanied
