Fred Lindner, of 722 Eighth street,
a hospital patient since November /,
and who, for time, was in a serious
condition, was in the city yesterday
visiting with friends and acquaintances
declaring that he was feeling fine
and almost back to his normal health.
Mr.. Lindner has been resident of
Douglas for % years and at one time
served two terms as city clerk, so
that he is well known hereabouts.
He says that part of the time
during his illness he wasn't certain
that he would be feeling so fine
again, but he was determined to win
the fight and did IT feel as bright
as the sunshine of today and am
happy to be about the streets of
Douglas with my many friends who
include some of the best people on
EARTH said Mr.. Lindner. He re-
marked that since he left Indianapolis
almost SO years ago he had been in
the west, the last half of the time
in Arizona, and that he believed
it was the wonderful climate here
that made it possible for him to
win his fight against i'll health during
the last six weeks.

Mary Plays the Coquettc with Noel

 There was no opportunity for Noel Neritzcn to make any reply 10 my suggestion that 1t would be q very good :hlag for him to pretend an in tArest in Eleanor Lincoln. Mary Harr.sonon, running lightly across the lawn, had reached the car al most before l had time 10 finish my softly spoken warning. l doubt, how ever. if he would have answered me oven if Mary had not appeared. The look CT bewildcrment which spread over his face told me that the idea I had presented was so new and startling to him as topreclude any response until he had mulled 1t over.
 If Mary had heard my advice, and decided to emphasize it. she could not have seized her cue more skill fully. AS she skinned over the lawn to the car, she unfolded long black veil with which her grandmother oc- casionally protects her hat and face, then climbed 10 the seat beside me, complety ignoring Noel in the rear seat.

 By and by he got down 10 the lowest branch. From this he could lean down and look straight into that plate O. food. He could even smell il. He prepared to back down the trunk of the tree. but before he did it he glanced over at the house. He saw Farmer Browns Boy peep ing around the corner. Instantly he scrambled up again. He scrambled halfway mp the trcc "Ho won't catch me-" muttercd Cubbv. No, sir, he won't catch me. don't care if l do have 10 go hungry" Five min utcs later he was down to that low er branch ono" more.
 This time he sat for quite a while. looking first at the house and then at the food; then back at th" house again. All the time his little etoln- ach fairly grhnd with longing. fi- nallv he could stand ii no longer. He turned and scrambled backward down the trunk of that tree and buried his nose in that dinner that was awaiting him there. Hunger had won. He hadn't wanted to come down out Of that tree. but for his stonach's sake he WAS down. Farm CT Browns Boy cautiously stepped out from behind tn, corner of the house. Chubby w"nt right on eating. but he kept one eye on Farmer Browns Boy, Farmer Browns Boy took a few steps toward him. Cubby started to shin the tr"". Farmer Browns Boy stood still.

Little Bears are very like little boys. The stomachs Of little Bears get empty. just as do the stomachs of little boys. It doesn't take them a great while 10 get empty. + was just that way with Cubhy, Buster Bears Woebegone little cub up tree in Farmer Browns dooryard. It was some time since he had had anything 10 cat. You see. he hadn't had q chance to get anything 10 eat before he got into trouble there in the pantry Of Mother Brown. So, after a while. Cubby was doubly mcomfort- able, The paste with which his coat was covered made him uncom fort able and the emptiness Of his stom- ach made him uncomfortable.
 He got 10 thinking about food. The more he thought about something 10 eat the more 1t seemed to him that he just must have something to eat. So when Farmer Browns Boy came out with q plate full Of food and held it up so that Cubby could see it he just had to dig his claws into that tree to hold on and keep himself up there.
 Farmer Browns Boy talked to him. Come down. yOu rascal" said he. I'm not going to hurt you Come on down and let mo see what I can do with that paste My, such 8 sight as you are, don't know how we'll ever, ever get you clean again. Now come down and get something to eat and then we'll take q bath"
 But Cuhhy wouldn't come down. he still had that sense or having been in mischief and h" was afraid 10 come down. Finally, Farmer Browns Boy went off and left the plate of food at the foot or In" tree. He took Bows"r the Hound with him. OtherWis. h." might have eaten lip all that food, Chubby looked down, His mouth began 10 water. "J won't 20 down. won't.

Iowa and North Dakota
Pass New Road Laws
Two Neighbors of Minnesota to
Speed Improvement of Pri-
mary Highways

The Iowa legislature recently
passed and the governor signed
bill by which that state will now
have primary road plan similar
to the trunk highway plan which
Minnesota adopted six years ago.
Up to this time the Iowa primary
roads, although under state super
vision and receiving some state
aid, have been under county con-
troll and dependent on county fl
nancing. The new law retains the
same routes, but permits slight
notifications, and places full con-
troll and responsibility for their
Improvement and maintenance on
the state highway department..
This is expected to bring about
uniform maintenance and the inn
provement of continuous routes.
Minnesota motorists who have oc-
casion to drive through Iowa may
look for a marked Improvement in
the Iowa roads in a few years.
The law provides, however, that
