ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
AT THE PHOTOGRAPH MANS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON


Snitcber Snatch, led Mister Wh.zz
and the Twins merry chase.
By the time they had jumped into
their tiny aeroplane to follow him,
he was leagues and leagues away.
You have no idea how fast goblin
can travel, once he gets started
But finally they caught up-Nancy
and Nick and Mister Whizz did
just as the little rascal was going in
to 4 photograph gallery. A photo
graph gallery IS place where you
get your picture taken.
"Ill just park my aeroplane in this
vacant lot across the street" said
Mister Whizz. Then we'll follow
him. can't imagine what he is
going into photograph gallery for.
He isn't so handsome that anyone
would want his picture, unless may
be it might be his mother or some Of
his relations. Pm sure that | sh oul d
not give it room on my mante piece"
Nancy laughed "Poor Snitcher
Snatch" she said. Ellis nose is SO
long l don't believe the photograph
man could get it all in the picture"
"No," agreed Mister Whizz. He'd
have to do like they do in stories,
sometimes. and if the first card
wouldn't hold it all, say ito be con-
tinued' and put the rest of his nose
on another"
l don't know whether the Twins
knew what he was talking about or
not. but anyway it doesn't matter.
They all got out of the aeroplane
as fast as they could and followed
| the bad little goblin into the photo
graph gallery.
The front room had velvet carpet
on the floor, and nice comfortable
chairs all about and dozens of pic
lures on the walls.
But no one was there-no sign of
the person they were after, at least
"We'l just take peep in here
said Mister Whizz, going to door,
way and beckoning to the children
to follow.
They pulled the curtain aside just
in time to see most interesting
thing.
The photograph man had his head
under black cloth behind a camera
and a lady was sitting on chair
before it. trying to look as pleasant
as possible.
"Now don't move until count W
to five" said the photograph man
Just keep on looking at that llttlt
bird, and stay the way | fixed you

At that minute little figure OF

and the lady wrinkled up her FACE
something awful.
"Hey there! That won't. do! Sta!

the photograph man.

"But J. have to-achoo! Achoo
Achoo! There I'm all right now"
Then we'll try again" said tn
photograph man getting behind hi
cloth again. Look at the little bird
please. 'One, two, three, four"
"Achoo!" went the lady AGAR
quite suddenly.

A LIFE THROWN AWAY
columbus Evening Dispa ten }

columbus Evening Dispatch)
DR.. Frederick A. Cook last week
gave up his fight against his re-
cent conviction of fraud in the
Federal courts, and was taken
from Fort Worth to the Federal
penitentiary at LeayenWOrth, to be-
gin the serving of a fourteen-year
sente SuCh is the depth to
which this strangely constituted
man has fallen.
Through his own subsequent
misdeeds, most people have forgot
ten that DR.. Cook, in the winter OF
1928, made brilliant and who'll
ly honorable record as surgeon to
the Belgian Antarctic expedition,
under the leadership of Comman-
der Ardicn de Gerlache. Under
the most trying circumstances,
with heavy responsibilities thrown
upon him, he made himself beloved
and respected by all. When the
crew was attacked by scurvy, we
are told in an account of the trip
contained in Amundsen 3 volume
on the South Pole that Cook was
the mos: popular man Of the eXpe-
dit.on. an that ne deserved his
popularity. From morning to
night he was occupied with his
many patients, and when the sun
returned, it happened not infre-
quently that, after strenuous
days work, the doctor sacrificed
lis nights sleep to go hunting
seals and penguins, in order to pro-
vide the fresh meat that was SO
greatly needed by ALL"
Such. at that time, was the man
who eight years later gave to the
world his false claim to have
reaChe,' the top Of Mount McKin-
ley, and still 'ater startled the
world with his easily disproved
tale Of having reached the North
Pole Exposed and discredited
with all. but n few unreasoning adj
.lerents, he droppeC' out of the
ranks of explorers, and was all but
forgotten when he appeared in the
news columns again as indicted for
using the mails to 1efraud, in the
sale. of worthless oil stocks. 1t is
sad case Of genuine ability and
opportunity thrown away.

This works very we'll for the places
padlocked. For instance, Texas
Guinan and her FL Fey gang went
out and engaged themselves for a
vaudeville tour as soon as the date
for the padlocking of the FL Fey Club
was set. Their vaudeville engage
ment begins Immediately after the
closing Of the club. When the pad
lock sentence is up they will return
to the club.

KICK YOUR DOG, BUT

To the Oriental, the dog is thing
Of contempt. That is perhaps the
reason why there is nothing good
about dogs in the Bible.
But it is doubtful if even Oriental
contempt ever put the dog SO low

Paris, of insisting that the pet dog

A dog is nothing if not an indi-

than to abuse it.

ALDEN PRESCOTT,

Please do not think, mother, that

might make. but l want to, if pos
sible, insure you from some man
who might only be fortune-hunter
and who would expect that he might
settle himself in life of luxury if
he married you and then make you
miserable.
Perhaps l am saying things that
l should not. Perhaps you have no
intention Of making this man any

one knows better than l how hard
it is for a woman of your age to
find man who might be friend
without boring her.

Everything is slogan, and of all

Doubtless. Will is right. At least.
it is slogans that give US taxes osten-

actually to hunt for jobs.
But it is doubtful if slogans are
any more characteristic than false

is the assumption that whatever is
