Anyfhing Gould Happen

I THINK one of the saddest little adventures
] that ever came my way happened in West
ern Nebraska, on the edge of the buffalo range,
about halfway between the Platte and Repub-
lican Rivers. There we're no towns there then
not even a sod house. The country was
high. fiat and level for miles.
1 came riding up this high country one
morning going northwest toward Wyoming.
Away off ahead of me, almost on the horizon,
I saw tiny white spot I watched it as I
rode toward it, and finally made out COW
cred wagon. wondered what is dong
up there where there was no water-nothing
but fiat prairie as far you could see.
Finally reached it. and there 1 found
woman. four little children and a dead man.
The woman told me they had passed through
Grand Island on the Platte River, coming west
to take up homestead. There her husband
had bought some whiskey. and the day before
he had drunk too much of it. When they
camped that night he tried to climb up over
the front wheel of the wagon into the seat. and
fell. He broke his neck, and still lay there
dead when I arrived
The woman was helpless. so I got to work.
got the dead man into my canvas bed cover
and I'D into the back of the wagon. Then
I had the woman cook a meal, for the four
children were hungry. While she did this I
rounded up the horses and got them hitched
up. Then we loaded the wagon and with my
two horses tied behind started for Grand
Island
1t took two days to get there, and it was :ar
from pleasant trip. But drove right along.
changing my horses into harness and back as
they tired, and stopping only for water. food
and grass. When reached Grand Island
! got the proper authorities to take charge
and went on my own trail again.
Later the woman married again and lived
in Nebraska until her death. Her children
still live there. but they have never forgotten
that lonely, tragic ride over the prairie.

well, that's a shame, now! What are you
going to do about it?' asked the circus man
in friendly tone.
I'VE can't do anything as long as the train
is stopped here" said Bill.
Something's always the matter with train
engines, seems like" The big man bit huge
hunk of tobacco off plug he took from his
pocket. We'll be late in unloading and feed
ing, and that always upSets the cats don't
like to see their schedules ball up. Sometimes
1t makes them onery."
DILL and Ham were fascinated. They stood
= beside the train in OPEN mouthed wonder
as the man talked His next remark brought
them back to earth with thump.
Seems how you two boys are so anxious
to get to the circus hop aboard and I'll take
you in with me. We ought to be there in half
an hour now. Maybe you can tell me some
things about this burg that ought to know"
"Geel That1l be great!'
Were sure in luck today!"
Bill and Ham, delighted with the offer,
climbed aboard just the engine started its
laborious grooming again. Maybe they would
get to see the animals and talk to their train
ers! This was the sort of luck they had dreamed
of, but never expected to come to them.
They we're completely overawed a moment
later. Bill had asked him if he had been with
the circus long.
Ever since it started" said their friend
proudly. I'm the owner of the show"
Chattering about this circus and others he
had worked with Ed Smiley, the owner, RECALLED
the boys with tales of the big top" until they
were almost within sight of the town while
the three OF them sat on camp stools on the
platform of the car,
| IE WAS in the midst of the story of a
circus train wreck in Kansas when a tall,
light-haired man with sad blue eyes opened
the door and came out on the platform Smiley
introduced him to the boys as Walleye Mason.
The thought flashed through Hams head that
he looked too glum and moody to do anything
except bury the animals if they died. They
wanted to ask him what he did, but Smiley
made it unnecessary.
Hes the best clown east of the Mississippi"
he boasted
Mason paid almost no attention to the boys
beyond a casual nod. He turned to the owner
and said in a confidential tone: ed them
Blaines Is cutting up agin. They been threat
ening to quit for good at Daviston soon as
the train gets in"
"Ah, rats" Smiley was scornful "Those boys
have been threatening to quit at the next town
ever since I've known them. If they didn't I
would think they was sick. They're pretty good
in the air, I know, but they amt such wonder
full trapeze artists that they can quit one day
and pick up job the next"
yeah, but they seem pretty serious this
time" said Walleye quietly. They've packed
up all their duds and are ready to vamoose
the minute the train stops"
Smiley's face grew dark with anger.
IF those boys know what's good for them,
they won't leave without giving some notice.
Just let EN- try anything!"
The boys looked at one another in wonder.
They were having their first glimpse Of
Smileyis anger.

FrilIS in the Schools
To the Editor Of The Times:
Why is everyone getting so ex-
cited about the condition Of
Washington schools? The
schools are almost too perfect
now and certainly too much Of
the taxpayers money is going
into this one department Of the
city government.
Most of the schools in the city
are palaces and it is a crime
against humanity to build more
of them while people are suf-
fering and starving.
We might as well face the fact
that we are paying too much
for education. We aren't get
ting our moneys worth.
The next time anyone tells
you that the schools need more
money take a walk around some
Of these big high schools, with
the frills and furbelows. There
Is no way this extravaganza can
be justified.

Poor Mans Game

To the Editor of The Times:
You newspapers think you are
mighty powerful and maybe you
are. But you can't stop the
numbers game by the silly tao
tics you are employing.
1t doesn't do any good to stop
printing the total of the race
bets. Why, the numbers opera
tors can take any number they
want to. They can figure the
number on the total number OF
pages of all the papers in Wash
ington or any two or three Of
them. Would it do any good
therefore to stop numbering the
pages?
They could count the number
Of words in any given column Of
your paper and have the results
and the public, or the players,
would know the number just as
soon as your paper was pub
GShed.
Why don't you let us alone?
If we want to spend few cents
o day and get thrill it isn't up
to you to stop us. Most of you
fought prohibition on the
ground that it was an infringe
ment Of personal liberty. Now

erty to play a simple little
game.

SMITH -SEABURY
PROGRAM CARRIES
Succeed in Effort to Strip Borough
Presidents of Power in
N ew York.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 25.--Alfred E
Smith and Samuel Seabury emerged
victors last night in a battle in which
they had been defeated twice before
when the New York City Charter Re-
vision Commission stripped the five
borough presidents of virtually all
their powers.
A switch of two votes made pos
sible the Smith -Seabury victory, which
was won only after vigorous debate
and heated controversies. The borough
heads were deprived of all admins
trative or executive functions
The Smith Seabury combination
has been fighting for complete efmi-
nation Of borough presidents to SIM
plify the city government. In this
they have not been successful.
While voting ls to 10 against pro-
portional representation in the cleo
tion of a municipal assembly, the
commission decided to submit the
question to the voters this Fall in the
form Of a referendum.
