Buster Takes to His Heels.

Buster Bear had a guilty conscience.
He felt it in his bones that trouble
was going to follow his bold stealing
of a pig. He had stolen it in broad
daylight But he wasn't sorry he had
stolen it, Trouble might come, but it
couldn't take away from him that pig.
for that pig had been eaten. Now
Buster was feeling very well pleased
with himself and the world in general.
That was the result of a full stomach.
Also, he was feeling like a nap. That,
tco, was the result of a full stomach.
SO Buster sought his bed under a big
win6fall and in no time at all was fast
asleep.
But, though he was fast asleep.
Buster was sleeping with one ear open,
as the saying is. Wild folk have to
sleep that way. So it was that right
in the midst of the pleasantest of pleas
ant dreams there broke a sound that
made Buster Bear wide awake in an
instant. The sound was still a long
way off. but there was no mistaking it,
1t was the sound of dogs barking on a
trail. There were several of them
Buster listened intently. They might
be on the trail of any one. but he sus-
pected that they we're on his trail. So
he listened with both ears. as gradu-
ally those voices drew nearer.
1T is my trail" muttered Buster.
Those dogs are following my trail and
they will come straight here. Dogs sell
dom bother me. This must mean that
those dogs have been sent after me.
Probably hunters with terrible guns
are behind them or with them. I guess
1t is time for me to be moving"
So Buster crept out from under the
wlndfall, stood for a moment listening
to the voices Of the dogs. then turned
and made off to the woods.
1t would have surprised you to see
how fast Buster Bear moved through
the woods. He is such big. clumsy
LOOKING fellow that it does not .jeem
possible that he can run fast. But
Buster Bear is full of surprises and his
ability to run is one of these. So
Buster took to his heels and awav he
Went. Every now and then he would
stop to listen. For a while. every time
he stopped the voices were fainter
showing that those dogs were further
away. Then at last he stopped and

LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PAPE.

Ma was sitting at her private desk
writing memorandum in her memo
randum book and the point of her
pencil broke off, ma saying, o drat
there goes my pencil, Willyum lend me
your pen nife.
That reminds me, let's have that
pencil mint, Ill put a point on it
that would win ferst prize at any county
lair, pop sed. And he took a little
shiny majigger out of his pockit and
stuck the end of mas pencil in it and
started to tern it around, saying, This
Is a little Germin invention, you cant
beet the GerminS wen it comes to con-
traptions like this, it cost me a doller
and half but the fellow assured me
Id save more than that on pencils the
hrst year, there's absolutely no waist.
And he took the pencil out and looked
at 1t, and 1t was about a inch shorter
and there WaSent any point on it yet
on account of one having proberly been
on and broken of alreddy, ma saving,
CESS the way your Sippose to save a
doller and half with that thing is
to put away penny each time it fails

Give me time, will you, there may

shorter but no pointer, ma saying,
Willyum Potts look at my good pencil,
look at my good floor, now Willyum
don't wunt that thing in the house
don't care if it was made by Germins
or not.
This is good little arrangement and
just because it needs a little practice
that's no reason for condemming the
whole Germin nation, pop sed. And he
tried 3 more times and there wasent
hardly anything left of the pencil and
the living room carpit looked fearse,
and sed, Hay pop, give it to me, will
you pop, Id like to have it.
All rite, you have more time to master
the mack of it than have, pop sed,
and sed, G, can swap that for some
thing good, and pop sed, o, in other
werds this is nuthing good heh? Well
its good enuff for me, he sed. And he
stuck it back in his pockit but I've saw
him sharpen pencils twice since then
and he used his pen nife both times,
proving its proberly not even good enuff

the nerves OF men were raw, and they'd
sob or scream. I'd tell the surgeon

TO. He wanted to lie down and rest.
So once more away went Buster
Bear. But he didn't run so fast now.
He was beginning to pant. He was
getting both out of breath and tired,
and he was becoming worried Every
time he stopped to listen those voices
were louder. That meant that those
dogs were gaining. 1t wasn't the dogs
that worried him, He felt quite equal
to fighting off those dogs. But he
knew that if once those dogs caught
up with him he would have to stop to
fight them, and that would give the
masters of the dogs-the men with the
guns-a chance to catch up. Do you
wonder that Buster was worried!

today sought in vain for a motive

command to stick EN- up" shot
the county attorney IN the groin.
At the Saratoga hospital X-rays
located the bullet in Mr.. Eddy's hip
and physicians reported he had
more than an even chance" for
recovery
An attempt to link the shooting
in some way with the gambling and
vice crusade now under way by di-
rect orders from Gov. Smith was
ridieuled by the officials, who point
ed out that Mr.. Eddy seldom #
ever took part in any criminal
prosecution and never was active
in politics.
A posse consisting Of state troop-
ers, deputy sheriffs and members of
the Saratoga Springs police force
searched the surrounding country
all last night without reporting any
trace of the man who committed
the assault. Mr.. Nichols, Mr.. Eddy's
companion, described the Young
man as accurately as possible in
view of the fact that most OF his
face was covered by the handker-
chief mask. The man also shot at
Mr.. Nichols but without effect
when Nichols started towards him.
The miscreant then disappeared in
the woods

$1,750,000 Bond Issue Is
Recommended; Slack
Gives Approval.

The board Of health, at noon
meeting today, decided to ask
couicil to provide a $1,750,000 bond
issue for city hospital.
Attorney Charles Mendenhall
was instructed to prepare an ordi-
nance tor be presented to council.
OF the total S1,50000O would be
used to build a new power plant,
new contagious ward, additional
regular wards and a service build
Ing, the board recommended.
The remaining $250,00O is needed
to remodel parts of the old build
ings and to provide equipment for
the new structures, it was decided.
Mayor L. Ert Slack attended the
meeting and approved the proposed
bond issue.
The city hospital has been crowd
ed seriously and hampered in its
work by jammed condition, health
board members pointed out. 1t was
necessary to stop use of the orig
inal city hospital building when that
structure was condemned as a fire
trap.
Several months ago city council
passed an ordinance providing a
$1,7OO,0O0 bond issue for the hos
pital, but rescinded the action be-
cause of technical error in its
wording. No effort has been made
by council to repass the ordi-
nance.

COLISEUM PLAN
STRIKES SNAC
Legality in Board Selection
of Site Questioned.

Legality of work Of the city coli
scum board toward picking a site foS
a coliseum was endangered today
when it was discovered that there is
no evidence in board of works rec
ordS that the board has approved
the coliseum project.
According to law passed by the
last Legislature the board of works
must declare erection of a coliseum
a matter of public necessity and
authorize appointment of board
to purchase a site after petition
asking such action is received
signed by at least fifty freeholders.
Such as petition was presented to
the board Of works last June and
approved by the board, j. Edward
Krause, coliseum board chairman,
said. The committee was then
named by John L. DuYall, then
mayor.
Ernest F. Frick, present board of
works secretary, however, today de-
clared he could find no record Of
the action.
If the record is not found the
present coliseum board, which has
narrowed prospective sites to three,
would be illegal, it was said.
1t would be necessary for the
present works board to act and
Mayor L. Ert Slack to name a new
board.
Slack has expressed himself as
opposed to erection of a coliseum
at the present time.
