"Is your vacation nearly over,
Weeny?" asked Nancy.
"Over!" remarked Weeny in sur

SO the Twins took their turn on
the see-saw, and then it was time for
Weeny and Tommy to get on.
Tommy got on his end of the
board and Weeny was just going to
sit down on his end of the board,
when his feet slipped and down he
went on it-smack! like ton of
coal.
And Tommy Tiger flew up over
the tree-tops like stone out of a
slingshot and disappeared from view
altogether-like shooting star, as
Nick said afterwards.

ed Weeny. Nov look what l went

SO Nancy and Nick and Weeny
went to look for Tommy Tiger, and
at last they found him sticking
away up in a palm tree about hun
dred feet high.
If he hadn't been circus tiger
and used to jumping he never, never
would have gotten down. But he did
at last.
And he was so good natured that
he only laughed about it. "That
was the best ride l ever had" he
said. Lets 60 back to the play
ground and have some more fun"
So away they went.

When discussing deductions and in order to be fair

DAWES ELUDES
 CHICAGO THRONG Welcome Ceremony Up set By Schedule Mixup.
 Candidate Smiles

CHICAGO, June 14-Charles G.. Dawes came back to Chicago today as republican nominee for the vice presi- dency as quyeitl and unobtrusively as he left it a week ago, a private citizen to go to Marietta, O., to mingle with old college chums. Elaborate preparations had been made to receive him, but due to mixup in time tables. NIT. Dawes left his train an hour before the well wishers expected him. President Cool idge's running mate seemed amused and just as well satisfied.
 He told reporters he would have noth- ing to say at least until officially noti- fled of his nomination. T don't think it's wise to talk unless something needs saying" he told newspaper men and then Obligingly posed for photographers.
 General Dawes was driven then to his office in the CentrNl Trust company. News of his coming preceded him here and by the time of his arrival the well come home demonstration was taking shape. Here he was cheered by well wishers, friends and bank employees, and smiling broadly but saying nothing, went at once to his office where he started to open. the stacked up mail and bales of congratulations.
 A short time after he went to the Dawes home in Evanston, where an other impromptu reception of neigh bors and friends awaited him. The su- burb was bedecked with flags in his honor and citizens have been asked to keep them floating for at least week. MT. Dawes was accompanied here from Marietta by Mrs. Dawes and two for mer classmates.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.-- Forney Johnston, Birmingham at- torney, has been invited by Senator Oscar w. Underwood to put him in nomination at the New York conven- tion, and has accepted, according to un- official but accurate information to- night.
 Mir. Johnston managed Senator Un- derwood's two successful campaigns for the Senate. He is general counsel of the Seaboard Air Line railroad, and maintains offices in Washington as we'll as in Birmingham.
 It was reported at one time that the nominating speech would be made by Gov. W. w. Brandon, who will attend the convention as a delegate.
 A dispatch from The Age -Herald's Washington bureau to the effect that Forney Johnston, Birmingham attor- ney, had been named by Senator Oscar Underwood to place him in nomination at the New York convention, was re- ceived with surprise here, since it had been generally expected that this honor would go, to Gov. W. W. Brandon.
 MT. Johnston now Is in Washington and will not return to Birmingham
 until after the convention, it was said at his residence Saturday evening.
