Career Ends
Succumbs to Pneumonia After
Brief Illness-Had a Long
and Varied Career.

Alter an illness OF only a few
days of pneumonia, Simeon P.
Carpenter passed away at a local
hospital, last Saturday morning
shortly after nine o'clock. Mr..
Carpenter was a second cousin
OF Mrs. E. L. Kelley of Hardin
and had resided here about six
years, during which time he was
custodian of the Big Horn Coun-
ty Bank block, occupying one of
the apartments on the second
floor of that building.
Simeon P. Carpenter was born
at Williamstown, Chickasaw
county, Iowa, April 7, 1859. His
father was a physician of that
county and his mother a gradu-
ate Of. Oberlin College, Oberlin,
Ohio. After spending his early
boyhood in Iowa, the family
moved to Lorain, O., and after
finishing high school he attend
ed Oberlin College, where he
completed his academic educa-
ton.
After leaving school he cross
ed the plains by mule team to
Colorado. From there he moved
to Wisconsin, where he engaged
in the sawmill business many
years, later going back to Colo
RADIO, where he operated for
some time a sawmill at Steam
boat Springs. Following the
Spanish-American war he was
granted a concession by the gov
eminent to produce mahogany
lumber in the Philippine Islands,
where he proSpered until stricken
with malaria, and for the bene-
lit OF his health he moved to
California, coming from there to
Hardin, some six years ago.
During his residence here he
made many friends, his cheerful,
sunshiny disposition drawing
people to him, and while he had
lived beyond the time allotted to
man on earth, yet it was with
keen sorrow that his relatives
and friends saw him go to that
undiscovered c country from
whose bourne no traveller re-
turns" His only near relatives
are a son, who resides in Chica-
60. and four grandsons and a
granddaughter.

A week later. Allan's reply came.

his life there.
The letters began to interest her
keenly, although she took care to keep

the letters only milily interesting and

Slowly personal note crept into

So the rabbit gentleman and the
three bears wandered through the
woods watching for flowers, bees or
a honey tree. At last Muffy saw
many bees on a clinnp of flowers. BY
watching which way they took when
they flew away, he and the others
could tell in which direction the
honey tree was So they all went
that way and soon they saw a big
hollow tree, in and out Of which
were flying and crawling many bees.
The hole through which the bees
entered and left the tree was rather
high up from the ground, but it was
so still and quiet in the woods that
the buzzing of the honey bugs as
Uncle Wiggily called the bees, could
be heard down on the leaf-coyered

WASHINGTON, May 81. - The
555-foot Washington monument is
going to get some long-needed
beauty work.
Among other things it will have
its dirty face washed in a reroVa-
tion described as the most stupen-
douS monument repair job that has
ever been undertaken in this coun-
try" Defects also will be corrected,
which the Public Works Admins
tration calls face lifting.
Engineers say the monument still
is structurally sound, but it has
been leaking for years. This is ex-
planned by the fact that the marble
blocks at the top are more durable
than those at the bottom. The same
condition holds true for the gran-
ite stones on the inside.
Engineers say the huge blocks at
the bottom are not held together
with mortar, but are just joined and
locked Undue moisture, always pre-
sent as thousands of visitors know,

lack of proper ventilation.
The monument has only a door
at the base and few windows in
the top for ventilation. This causes
condensation Of water on the To-
foot thick walls in such quantities
to make it unpleasant for visitors.
When the difficult scaffolding Job
is completed, workmen will start at
the base and move upward, filling
spaces between blocks with mortar.
When the chinks are too small.
channels will be drilled to permit
mortar to be spread.
Then when this work is finished
the monument will get bath, with
these specifications:
"Scrubbing will be done with suit
able brushes of vegetable fiber, and
shall be energetically carried out so
as TO remove all dirt, dust, sooC, etc.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THREE
BEARS

Once upon time, as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping through the woods
looking for an adventure, he met
three bears. The rabbit gentleman
wasn't afraid of the bears, for they
were little fellows and Mr.. Long
ears knew them. They were friends
of his.
One little bear was named Guffy,
another was named Cuffy and the
third was called Muffy. The three
bears were about the same size and
they were brothers.
Hello, Uncle Wiggily!" called
Guffy. Cuffy and Muffy as they
saw the rabbit gentleman hopping
through the woods.
Hello, little bearsl" answered
Uncle Wiggily. The bears were the
same ones who had once taken off
his auto tires to get the inner tubes

went In swimming. Are you going
swimming now?" asked Uncle Wig
gily. IF you are. you can't have any
inner tubes. haven't my auto with
me today"
mo, We aren't going swimming"
growled Guffy. He didn't growl be-
cause he was cross but because
growing was his way of talking.
Where are you going?' asked
Uncle Wiggily, for the three bears
seemed in a hurry 10 get some place.
I'VE are looking for a honey tree,
answered Cuffy.
Don't you want to come with
us2" invited Muffy very politely.

Gle Wiggily. But first must go TO
the store for Nurse Jane Fuzzy

some mosquito netting cloth. must
do that first Afterward ! will come
with you and help you look for a

why does Nurse Jane want mos
quito netting cloth?" asked Guffy.
"Is she going to eat it?"
"Hal Hal Oh, no." laughed Uncle
Wiggily. But soon it will be Sum-
mer, you know, and biting mosquito
bugs will be flying about looking
for places To nip us. Nurse Jane is
going TO put the mosquito netting
over the windows in my hollow
stump bungalow, and then the bit
ing bugs can't get in. So must hop
TO the store TO get the netting
"Well wait here for you to come
back" said Muffy.
"All right" said Uncle Wiggily
So away he hoped to the store and
soon he was hopping back with a
roll OF mosquito netting cloth under
one paw. He found the three little
bears just where he had left them
They were playing tag, leap frog
