Stories of Early Ninth Street

Just as / was about to remove from this

his eyes. Some one had taken down q large

ascertained that this lot had been sold by Gen.
Van Ness to q clerk in the post office and I
went to the general about the matter but he
did not treat me with much consideration.
ITHIS was the commencement Of the old
mans troubles. Burnes, the original own

through her. heir to large estate In a few
months, after dispoSing Of this lot on Seventh

part of the orchard This now entirely deprived

practically drove him to despair. He would
look over his orchard and throw himself on the
ground, and there he would lie till his wife

widow, into which she was carried, as her cabin
had to be removed, and where she fingered but
a short time. She was inferred near her hus-

1t is the writer's impression that one of
David Burnes' brothers died in the Washington
poor house, and so it does not seem strange
that Gen. Van Ness should have let this old ten

JOHN ORR could not have been a very
- thrifty man, or he must have had consider
ably more bad luck than comes to the average
person, for he seems to have never had any
money, and to have finally been buried in pot

up by James Croggon and quoted in one of his
writings is worth reading, and shows a phase
OF the other side of He-Such as comparatively
few ever experience:
MY first acquaintance with this man was in
1921. had erected two frame buildings at the
corner Of Eighth and G streets directly opposite
to his cabin, which stood on the public square.
In going and coming from his orchard he had
to pass my house. At first he only gave me
silent salute as he passed, but at length be-
came somewhat more familiar
"One day he called me to tell me of a
trick the boys had played him. He said he al
ways carried his musket to the orchard when
his fruit was ripe to frighten boys who were
stealing his fruit When engaged in digging he
placed his musket on the ground These chaps
had seen this, and, slipping behind him. they
stole his musket and were rejoicing over the
exploit Hearing the noise behind him he went
to get his rnuskct but soon discovered what
had happened and started to drive the bows
away. Then then twitted him, asking why he
had not loaded his gun that morning and what
had become of the flint, etc After tiring of
that line of petty annoyances they threw the
gun OFSi bAAS ACA0O' 4AS bOOA ~ up ana went
to his house. He said he was very much
ashamed that the boys had discovered that
the gun was never loaded and only used to
frighten them.
Another anecdote I will mention. The old
man was on his way to the orchard with his
gun on his shoulder, which somewhat aston
isIled me, thought he had laid it aside I
asked him where he was going so early in the
morning. 'Ach,' said he, somebody has MIXED
our COW for the two last mornings and am
going to see who it was In little while I
saw him returning driving his COW before him.

just say the word"
Sergeant Mulrooney smiled unctuously.
Have you got the letter, Mr.. Leary?" he
asked. you might show it to Mr.. Grenolds
here. Well, it's a nice show you've got, Mr.
Grenolds," he said as Roundsman Leary fshed
deep into an inside pocket "A nice clean show"
Then Leary handed him the letter, bound
under celluloid in folding leather case, and
Sergt Mulrooney handed 1t forward
Have cigar" said Shoestring Charlie and
passed the box Then he settled back to ex-
anime the letter
The bearers, SeTgt. James Mulrooney and
RoundSn1dn Timothy Ledry, authorized
to solicit funds for the annual program Of
the policenlens benefit. Your cooperation
tUtH be appreciated. Sincerely,
The Police Department of Metropolis,
By Rolhn A. Hampstead, Chief.
Shoestring handed the letter back
"All right, boys he said whats the
ante?"
We'll" Sergt. Mulrooney leaned amiably for
ward. You know how it is in big police
department like ours-always some fool patrol
man making the wrong kind of a report. 1t
makes things tough for a fellow if he amt got
friends in the department"
Amt that the truth" said Shoestring
Yeah some little safety appliance wrong, or
the seats not strong enough-you know how
those things go. Now, we're putin out this
program, wed ike TO have you in there-JuSt
compliments of the Worlds Famous Circus, you
know, good luck to all the boys. It's 10 grand

Ten thousand bucks, eh?" asked Shoestring
and raised his eyebrows. Little steep, aren't
you, boys?"
We'll, now, is if? You're doin' a big busi-
ness, Mr.. Greno.ds. It's worth havin' friends
to be lookin' out for your interests. -, just
suppose for instance, some accident should
happen. like a lion gettin loose and you havin'
to hold it all day in brick kiln. There's lot
Of people would say that was endangering the
lives of the populace, and insist on shutting
down the show"
II see" Shestring's eyes were narrowed. But
suppose lion didn't get loose?"
Sergt. Mulrooney leaned forward
But, MIR. Grenolds, there amt no arguing
on that point. lion did get loose. Let's talk
turkey"
That's the system" agreed Shoestring,
fighting to keep his mind from distracting
conjectures. How. had Hampstead known about
that lion? That's the way I like to talk
straight from the shoulder. Yeh. you're right.
A lion did get loose. And I don't want it
known. want big week here and want
police protection. I'm willing to pay you what
you ask for it. But I've only got five grand
on me- If you want to take it on account and
drop back later-say in couple Of hours?"

wake UP YOUR
LIVER BILE
WITHOUT CAL0MEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed In
the Morning Karin to Go

II you feel sour and sunk and the world
looks punk, don't swallow lot OF salts,
mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing
gum and expect them to make you suddenly
sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
For they can't do it. They only move the
bowels and mere movement doesn't get at
the cause. The reason for your down-and-out
feeling is your liver. 1t should pour out two
pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
If this bile is not flowing freely, your food
doesn't digest. 1t just decays in the bowels.
Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a
thick, bad taste and your breath Is foul,
skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head
aches and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned.
1t takes those good, old CARRIERS
LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two
pounds of bile flowing freely and make you
feel "up and up" They contain wonderful,
harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing
when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's
Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's
Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent a
substitute. Csc at all stores. @ 1891 c. M Co.

Shoes Harmonize+= with, Saucy Hats

NEW YORK.-Shoe designers, too,
IN have succumbed to the subtle IN
fluence of the new Eugene millinery,
and footwear for Autumn will har-
monize with and carry out the ensemble
motif set by these perky and attractive
hats. Colored piping, light trims OF
blending materials, cleaner lines-these
are important features Of the new Fall
shoes! .agaesa.s EiIs NJ ;fssa
Riding on the crest of the new
fashion wave is the lower continental,
or Cuban, heel, which should give an
added spring to the step to match the
saucy bonnets which constitute world
wide feminine salute to the lovely
Eugene, last Empress of France and
wife of Louis Napoleon. The many
Haodels featuring the lower heel dis
prove once again the idea that one can
be ultra smart only in extremely high
heels. -~'""~
For street and formal afternoon
wear, pumps will be the leading type
shoe. Ties will follow and straps will
be good, though not quite so popular
In the materials the favorites will be
suede. lsidskin, calfskin and reptile, the
hrst-named being picked by Maurice
Wit, stylist for more than tour
hundred Thorn Mean stores, as the
leading shoe material for early Fall
AS Winter sets in, however, kidskir
and lightweight calfsl1in will slip into
FIRST place.
Black will again be the most popular
color, according to Mr.. Wit, with
brown in second place, and blue and
wine tones widely affected by those
women who like to match exactly their
gowns and ensembles. In the evening
field, for example, there is an interest
ing new mesh material in metallic
thread which can be dyed in multi
ude of delicate shades to match OF
harmonic with favorite gowns and
ensembles.
The Fall season marks the beginning
of new era in shoe values, according
to the expert. Fine styles which hither'

Alumni To Meet
Apaches Thursday

The Nogales High School Apaches
will meet the Alumni on Thursday
of this week instead of Saturday AS
originally scheduled. This change
was made in order that the mem
bers of the Alumni team could be
free to play without interference to
their work. The game will be play
ed on the high school athletic field
at $3.50 P. M.
Both teams are anticipating VIC
tory. The Apaches are determined
to avenge last seasons defeat ard
to begin the season right with a
win. From all appearances the Apa-
che eleven will be considerably
stronger at this time of the season
than it was last year.
Coach Bill Kerr is putting his pro-
teges through lot of hard work the
first three days of this week in or
der to put the team into condition
to meet their rivals on Thursday
evening. The practice started off
this week with signal drill and
scrimmage on Monday evening. It
is quite likely that all of the prac-
tice dished up this week will be OF
the same nature. - ~s'~~-
Assistant Coach Lon Bellman Will
