You're not talking my friend, about
anything / don't know. You're telling
me nothing new" he added
"All of us know it," said the first
elk, "for we all know that we love the
autumn so much and think such great
deal Of the scenery that we look our
best then too"

asked the second elk. II know that
in the autumn we look our best, but /
do not know just what you mean by
scenery.
"Now you are telling me something
don't know. In fact can readily see
that there are some matters l do not
understand"
Scenery" said the first elk, means
the scene or picture around u.s."
There is no picture or scene around
u.s." said the second elk.
There is no picture around, but
there is a scene" said the first elk.
But l thought from the way you
spoke that they meant one and the
same thing"

mean that scenery is something one
can see, just as one can see a picture
But how can l see picture?" asked

you can see the scene, and that IS

but I will do my best.

Her Affection

Little Mile had achieved great sue
cess at her school, and was being
moved to higher grade. Needless to
say, her parents were pleased with
her and anxious to hear how she
would get on in the new class.
When she returned home at lunch
time the first question her mother
asked was this:
"Well, darling" she said, "how did
you like your new teacher?"
"She seems very nice" replied Mil
lie, "but can't understand all she
says"
"How is thatT asked her mother
Does she talk too quietly?"
"Oh, no, mummy" returned Mile,
'but"-with the air of one who knows
81 think she's got a predicament in
her speech"

really understands anything they can't
explain to some one else.
Il understand scenery and so l must
try to make you understand it too by
my explanation" 49,
TRY" said the second elk. "Try
now"
II WILL" said the first elk.
I'm the autumn" he continued, I'VE
see beautiful trees turning into all
sorts of golden colors, and reds and
oranges and browns. In fact we see
glorious colors."
1.-THE trees don't turn" said the Sec
ond elk, "the leaves do that.
I've never noticed the trees turning
around and moving themselves about"
i meant that the leaves turned
color" said the first elk 1.-THE leaves
about us turn into such glorious fame
colors and all sorts of beautiful shades.
So we look our best in the autumn to
show that we want to add our good
looks to the beautiful scenery, or pic
ture that is all about us.
Scenery is the scene-of what Is
being looked at, or what can be looked
at, in the way of nature. In that way
scenery is more than a picture. 1t
is a picture because it is lovely to look
at, just as a beautiful picture is nice
to gaze upon.
But as you say, pictures are not al
ways about us. Scenery isn't cooped
up In picture galleries or in peoples
houses.
1t is out-of-doors, it belongs to out
of-doors. 1t is for everyone who loves
out-of-doors to see, quite free of charge,
and without much trouble"
Il understand" said the second elk.
Yes, what you say is true. And I've
heard that people think more of us
and like US and admire us. They wish
to have us live and so they don't want
to have US killed"
"Ha, ha, ha,' said the first elk.
What's the matter?" asked the sec
ond elk. What are you laughing atT'
You said that the people want to
nave us live and so they don't kill us.
Naturally if they want US to live they
won't Kill us" said the first elk.
Maybe | am not fussy in the way
put my words together, but ah, it is
nice to be great North American elk,
TO dress up in the autumn and look our
best with our new antlers."
For in the autumn the North Ameri-
can elk look their best and they have
new antlers in place of the old ones
which they drop off in the spring.

Here is good one about little
lad who was given his first watch the
other day as a gift on his ninth birth
day. His. aunt tells the story.
Although he seemed pleased" she
said, when he first opened the box
his enthusiasm was quite restrained.
But he dashed into the house on his
return from school that day, and ex-
claimed jubilantly.
"My, but I've got dandy watch /
I'm glad you like it, said his

the telephone and called out to the
man in charge of the repair shop:
"Send a tow car for Miss Harmer.

Before the man in charge could
make move or give an order, Duane
was ON his feet.

said with impressive authority in his
tone. "Pve got to speak to Mr.. Har-

Jerry sat patiently behind the wheel

waited for the tow car. Her thoughts
were far from the quiet Iowa street.

So Jerrold carried 1t down to the
office and sent for Duane. "It's none
of my business, of course" he said.
Don't think l care how much you
correspond with the family-and don't
blame me-but l don't know what else
to do with 1t. She gave 1t to me and
said to bring 1t to you"
He passed the bits Of paper to
Duane hastily as though they burned
his fingers. Duane examined them
hopefully, saw the unbroken seal of
the envelope.
"She didn't read it, did sheT he
said dejectedly.
Il don't know, maybe she did," said
Jerry's father "She took 1t upstairs,
and 1t was quite while before she
came down. Maybe she read it while
she was up, and then sealed It, again
to fool you. l wouldn't put it past
her"
Duane laughed, and examined the
envelope more hopefully. but the seal
bore no faint trace Of tampering

and try, try again, and all that non

always admits it and rights about face.
I don't think she likes you-if you'll

grimly. "But she does like me. And

the greatest philosopher of his time.

Duane got out the chains and
fastened her car to his, but when he

Jerry did not turn her head.

She hesitated a moment. The APP

tone was low, her accents incisively
cold as she answered.:
Eyes. Why not?"
He could not but smile at the direct
conclusiveness of her retort. He
turned about and started for the tow

tenance.
The commissioners instructed
Dunn to dispatch a letter to Gov.
ernor Jackson and the hospitals
board Of governors, setting forth
their attitude and their refusal to
approve the $4,000 appropriation.
So far $4,000 has been spent on
Julietta this year. they claimed.
S78,960 Last Year
In 1924 a total of S7s,96O was
spent on the institution. 1t was
said. Those who attended the meet
ing were Cassius Hogle. president
county council: Frank Z. Brown and
Otis c. Dodson.
Maintenance for Julietta will

should bear all expenses.

Efforts had been made to have the
inmates removed to State insane asy-
lums. John Brown Of the State
board Of charities, declared that all
State institutions were overcrowded
now.

The man, who hsd secretly Joined
the gang headed by Anderson and
was watching their work and re-
porting to officials. was last seen
just before a raid in Detroit, July O..
when Webster made an attempt to
capture the alleged bandits.
Room Raided
The operative had notified Webster
of a meeting place. Fourteen De-
troit detectives were called and the
house surrounded. The doors to the
room were kicked In. Smoke and
liquor bottles remained. but the gang
was gone. No secret door could be
found. Webster presumed that the
detective was murdered. since all at.
tempts to find him since that time
have proved futile.
Webster says that Anderson was
thwarted in an attempt to rob a
bank in northern Indiana on July
A. He, with other detectives. laid
in wait for the bandits. who had OBJ.
tained plans Of the bank, and ar.
ranged a raid for that night. A few
miles from the scene the bandit auto
overturned in the ditch. and the
gang was followed TO Detroit. II
was there that the unsuccessful raid
was made.
After two bank robberies, Webster
says he was positive that Anderson
was leader OF the gang. Several
times other members could have
been taken, but the officers waited
in an attempt to capture the leader.
When the operative in the gang
obtained plans for the third bank
raid, Webster and three Of his men,
with shotguns. arrived on the scene
July 4, and waited developments. A
heavy rain storm sent the robbers
In the ditch, and they are thought
to have learned that Webster was
watching them.
