TOM SAWYER'S GANG
D|SBANDED BY Death.
Last Of Boys Who Fought Inag.
mary Pirates Passes With
Death Of Brady

Hannibal. Mo.-DP-Tom Sawycr's
band Of adventurers all have gone on
to the great adventure.
Those who nov would learn Of them
must take their lore from the inn
print that Mark Twain and his boy
hood playmates left in this corner of
Missouri.
The last OF those. who, with "Saml'
Clemens fought the imaginary pirates
OF the Mississippi. passed with the
death Of Gull Brady.
Others identified with the Twain
group were s. H. Honeyman. Jim Nc
Daniel, B. Q. Farthing. Ed Pierce and,
OF course, Laura Frazier. whom the
humorist immortalized as Becky
Thatcher"
Young Clemens. Brady recalled, was
a bashful boy. with a fcndne5s for
pretty little girls.
He had to do his 'sparkin' , by
proxy he once said. 'Once I heard
him say to his school deskmate John.
II you will 60 and tell Laura at recess
that ! like her. and think she's the
prettiest girl in school, I'll give you
the next apple I get"
The Laura was Laura Frazier.
She preceded Gull" to the grave by
a few weeks.
And so has passed the odd Twain
gang but the years only etch deeper
its mark or Hannibal. And the dirty
faced. pantalooned leader left the adj
~venturers' impress on literature's
shelves for succeeding generations to
read-and chuckle over.

the communities that knew him first,

Toy Dog Requires
Much Attention

The tiniest members Of dogdom are
known as toy dogs, Many people raise
them just for dog shows, but they are
nice 10 have as pets, though harder "a
take care Of than the big fellows, who
can almost shift for themselves.
The pug Is very Sweet-tempereo
and gentle dog and nice to have around
the house. His worst fault is that he
Is greedy and likely to get lazy and fat
"A very pretty toy dog Is the fluffy
little Poneranian. He Is faithful ami
NAL and has q lot of intelligence for
his size. though he is inclined to be
fussy
A conceited fellow Is the handsome
black Schipperke. He Is really very I'M
pudent. and 1t Is wonder the big dogs
don't beat him up" oftener. But for all
his conceit he Is q good-tempered dog.
fine looking little fellow. He should be
well built. with the head long and neat.
His skin Is glossy and smooth.
The funny little Yorkshire terrier Is
one of the liveliest OF the toy dogs. He
is very hardy. too, and has q lot Of pep
for his size. The true Yorkshire terrier
has long blue and tan coat. It Is this
coat that makes many people dislike to
raise him, because 1t requires much care.
1t should be carefully brushed out each
day.
Toy dogs can't be brought up in q
rough-and-tunhle fashion. They must
be well looked after. For one thing, they
should be fed regularly, Their meals
must be small--a biscuit for breakfast,
cut up roast meat or mutton and rice
for lunch and some stale cake. perhaps,
in the evening. Never feed them big,
sloppy meals. and eEoid anything con-
tanning oatmeal or cornmeal.
They must be washed often. too.
White dogs, to be kept pretty, should be
washed in soft water with little hluing

good side of the toy dog don't get soap

squares left will always be one more
than the number the performer requests
taken away in the initial step.
For example, let US imagine the spec
tator arranges her two rows Of squares
with six in the upper row and i've in
the lower row:
xxx XXX
xxx
Now, II the performer wishes the
answer to be Three" she requests the
spectator to remove two squares zone
less than the answer) from the lower
row:
XXX Xxx
Xxx
The spectator is then asked to take as
many squares from the top row as
there are left in the bottom row 90,
and then to clean out the bottom row.
And there you are! A little fairy
whispers the correct number in your
ear! II desired, you can write out the
number beforehand on a slip Of paper
and seal the paper in an envelope; you
can underscore the third word. In the
fourth line, on the fifth page Of a book,
and then in three successive stages
cause the answers TO locate that word;
you can glimpse the top card in deck
and then make the answer tell the de-
nomination and suit Of the glimpsed
card-indeed there Is no end to the
possibilities OF this excellent little effect.

This Trick Can Be
Cleverly Worked

In this clever trick, the performer
hands o spectator 40 or more small
squares or balls Of crepe paper. The
spectator Is then requested TO make two
rows OF squares, using any number OF
squares. but the upper row must con-
tain one more square than the lower
row.
Now for the trickl The performer
requests the spectator TO take two
squares out Of the lower row. Now. she
asks that as many squares be taken
from the top row as there are left IN
the bottom row. Finally, she bids the
spectator to take all Of the squares out
of the bottom row.
The performer has been blindfolded
throughout and does not know how
many squares the spectator used, yet
she Instantly calls out the number Of
squares left on the table, Three"
The secret Is absurdly simple. Pro-
viding the top row has one more square
than the lower row, the number OF

the game. and the rest Of Us, tense and
desperate, settled down to hold our
lead.
We managed to do it, and still had
O viewpoint advantage when the game
ended, but that couldn't make us happy.
As we took our showers and dressed
we realized that Eddie was still a far

the game with Scottsburg was only

We all were ashamed of his outburst

They mature much earlier than the
full-sized trees and will bear fruit In two
to six years, depending upon what the
fruit is. Peach trees have been known
to bear within two years Of planting.
Among the fruits that may be had
in dwarf varieties are the apple, pear,

There Is much road building going on
in all parts of the world. More roads
are built today than ever before because
of the automobile. but let us give
thought today to some Of the first road
builders In history, people who built
roads over 1000 years ago and built
them so we'll that they are in service
even now. those great builders were
the ancieart Romans. and their roads
are still In good condition in various
parts of Europe, particularly in Italy.
Rome was great power 20 centuries
ago. Her armies had conquered most
OF Europe. parts of Asia and Africa,
and her influence was felt In all the
then civilized world. In order to hold
her conquered lands and to insure rapid
transportation Of armies and supplies
from place to place, good roads were
necessary And the Romans proceed
ed to build them. They built not with
asphalt or dirt, or gravel. or wooden
blocks; they used stone, hard stone in
great slabs and large blocks. They made
UP their minds to build roads that
would last And they succeeded. One
Of the first of these roads ran from
Rome to Capua. 1t was built in the
year 3l2 BIC. by Appius Claudius, and
called the Via Appia.
Others were built throughout italy
