j a captain, was in command ofthe
ship, and he must have suspected that
j we younger officers were not walking
as much as we should while on watch.
i One night he gave me a small pack-
iage to slip in my pocket. "Return this
: package to me when you come off In
'the morning!" he ordered.
I When the next night he did the
same thing and cautioned me to keep
j moving about. I became auspicious

Although I could not get a clue to
its contents, I suspected that it some
how kept track of the distance 1
traveled while on watch. We were
near the equator and In the historic
.Spanish Main ocean lanes, and It was
so warm that I didn't want to keep
walking; so I called a sailor and.
handing him a bill, told him to take
the package and shake it violently for
several hours.
After the cruise was over. Captain
Schley called me to his cabin and told
me that as he was leaving New York
an inventor handed him a package
i saying It would show how far a man
j walked if carried In his pocket.
"The first night you carried this
packai;e," Captain Schley explained,
"it showed that you scarcely haa

teacher is very anxious to "make
good" with the board and will say
nothing more about it. ,
Zero Peck says when the people or
a majority or them get to traveling In
airplanes he looks to see the old dirt
roads get In mighty bad shape.
The Assistant Constable has an
nounced that he w ill be a candidate
for re-election and endorsement. He
has during the past term arrested no
body and feels that he has made no
enemies in an official capacity. A
felow over on Petunia Ridge Is talk
ing or making the race but the pres
ent Incumbent feels that with the
record he has made during his term
he has nothing to fear.
Zero Peck says the recommenda
tions from the higher-ups that the
people, in order to reduce the cost
of living, wear their old clothes and
wear them patched if necessary, hit
him just right, aa he was going to
do that any way.
In a discussion at the post office
yesterday morning It was unanimous
ly agreed that the people could get

The Editor or The Pumpkinvtlle
Bugle said something in hia paper
last week in the wrong tone of voice
as from New York to Kansas City. 1 'about a fellow over on Bear Creek.
and as a result there was no Issue of
The Bugle this week, though the Edi
tor hopes to be able to come out
again next week. Week before last
the Editor of The Bugle was whipped
by a farmer from Petunia Ridge for
underestimating the size of a pump
kin he had grown. Last year he was
whipped by another party for mis
representing a pumpkiA, and It is
feared that if these things continue
it may tend to cause the Editor to
get to exaggerating and If he does
there is no telling how large he will
have to make Bill Hellwangers pump
kins to make him keep the peace.
The hiKh cost of living will be dis
cussed very little in Hogville as soon
as ppi'siiiiiiioiis and wild grapes get
riped.

The manager was strolling about
the big Chautaiuiua tent, which had
Just been set up in a small Missouri
town, and the boys were laying the
plank scats, when the whir of en
gines was hpard, and two automobiles
appeared, racing furiously toward the
Chautauqua grounds. They stopped
side by side in the dust and smoke
of heavily set brakes, and the drivers
leaped front their seats and ran at
top speed toward the astonished
Chautauqua manager.
"I'm a butcher!" gasped the first.1
i could not accuse an American officer
on merely the evidence of such an
untrust-worthy machine. We will
forget It."
As I was leaving the room I
glanced back and caught a twinkle in
jthe future admiral's eye. I have since
wondered just how much the snrewa
old sea dog surmised.
All Ke;uly for Him.
At a political meeting held in a

a man put his head in at the door
and shouted in a stentorian voice,
"Can anyone here sell me six penny
worth of sense?''
The speaker hailed, evidently quite
dumfounded; but the chairman or
the meeting Immediately silenced the
Intruder by retorting, "Yes, but you
have nothing to put it In."
It was toward the close of the Civil
War, when paper money was chang
ing hands by the bale. A lank negro
rode into town on a melancholy mule.

ain't talkin' to me Is you?" queried
the negro. "Ah done Just paid $35,

"I'm a butcher!" cried the second.
Then both together they shouted. ,
