Not In Wreck They Claim

In an account of an automobile ac-
cident in The Republican last week,
the reporter was evidently in error.
1t was stated that occupants of the
car among others were Mrs. Nell Shat
fer and Miss Mary Hinebaugh. Mrs.
Shaffer called at the office to say that
she was not in the car, while Miss
Hinebaugh, writing from Cumberland,
says the statement is untrue.
The Republican regrets the error.

Bedtime Stories
The Rescuers.

Little Joe started back and, could
you have seen him, you would have
been surprised at his speed, for, as
you know, his legs are short. Wher-
ever he could he threw himself for
ward and slid on his stomach. The
sounds ahead Of him grew louder.
Such snarling and yelping! There
was no question now as to the one
with whom that Dog was fighting.
Little Joe whistled sharply. That was
to let that young Otter know he was
coming
While Little Joe Otter was hurrying
to the rescue Of the young Otter, some
one else was hurrying toward the
scene of that fight, hurrying from just
the opposite direction. 1t was boy,
and he, too, was hurrying to the res
cue, but not of the young Otter. He
was hurrying to the rescue of that
Dog, for he was the Dogs master and
1t sounded to him as If his pet was
getting hurt. So, armed with a stout
club, the Dogs master was hurrying
to his aid.
The boy and his Dog had gone into
the woods that day just to see who
or what they could find. The boy had
no gun with him. He was not hunt
ing any one. He was out just to see

Experience. SO we are told.
Doth give advantage to the old.
Little Joe otter.

r TITLE Joe Otter was following
the course of q brook frozen
over and more or less covered
~ with snow. Little Joe was
looking for open water No one knows
more about brooks than does Little
Joe. You see, he makes it his business
to know all about brooks and rivers
and ponds for a long distance in all
directions. 1t is knowledge which is
very useful to him. 1t is knowledgs
of which he may most Unexpectedly
have great need. Living, as he does,
very largely on fish, it Is important
to him to know where he is likely to
find the best fishing at any given
season Of the year. In Winter 1t Is
most important for him to know where
he is likely to find open water. With
out feeling reasonably certain Of find
ing open water, he would not dare
make a long journey from one stream
or pond to another, and such Journeys
he sometimes has to make in search
of food.
When he had reached this brook he

but with little experience in the ways
of the Great World. The young Otter
had gone up the brook. while Little
Joe had turned down the brook. He
isn't likely to find open water up the
brook, but it will do him good to find
that out for himself. There is noth-
ing like finding out thing for ones
self" thought Little Joe. There's a
spring hole down below a ways that
should be open. I'll wait for him
there. He'll turn back after while" :"
Little Joe had gone only a little
way when he stopped and turned his
head the better to listen to a sound
that he had heard from up the brook
behind him. Could he have been
mistaken? No, there it was again!
"A Dog" he exclaimed under his
breath. Now who is that Dog bark
ing at? Hal"
The barking had given way to other
sounds. faint but unmistakable. That
Dog was fighting with some one. Lit
tie Joe thought of the Young Otter who
had gone in that direction. At once

the Winter woods and who might be
out and about. The Dog had raced
ahead. They had been following the
course of a little brook which the
boy often had followed in Summer, a
brook in which he often had fished
for trout. The Dog had raced ahead,
as Dogs will do, and had disappeared.
His master heard him bark sharply
once or twice.
II wonder who he has found now"
said his master. Il hope it isn't
Prickly Porky the Porcupine, or, if
it is. hope the latter is up tree. y
The boy began to hurry. He had a
vision Of his pet with his face and
mouth full of Porcupine quills. He
didn't want anything like that to
happen. Then such a racket as broke
out little way ahead-snarls. growls,
yelps. The Dog was in fight! No
doubt about that Perhaps he was
fighting with Yowler the Bobcat. The
boy hurried faster His pet wasn't a
very big Dog, but he was the kind
whose courage was all out Of propor-
ton to his size He might need help.
So two rescuers were hurrying to-
