THE ORACLE
Even though it had failed, we would still
have the best country in the world. Without a doubt the lot of the average American
is far happier than the lot of the average
citizen or subject of any other land. Utopia
is a dreamland, and Paradise a far, far
country. Let us be content with possession of the best that nationality has ever
yet yielded, and let us not forget, as Memorial Day approaches, those who gave
their lives that we might be so blest. The
tree of liberty they planted, bears its fruit
for us every season, and the leaves of the
tree may yet be for the healing of the
nations.
which may be made even though they are
opposed to his plans and will make a note
of them, so as to use them, if need be, later
on.
And if any of this advice seems to be of
real worth to him he will be ready to admit that the suggestion was not his own.
The man who is obstinate, on the other
hand, pays no attention to advice, however
much it may help him. He listens to no
counsel but what coincides with his own
way of thinking and gives no one but himself any credit. He scorns the warning of
the old proverb which says: "The man
who listens to only one bell hears only one
note." He heeds only the flattering music
of the hell he himself is ringing. He stops
his cars to the voices of the other chimes,
\\ hich would warn him oi trouble ahead,
and even when the trouble comes, he still
stubbornly denies his error, throwing the
blame for his failure upon occurrences
which have nothing to do with it.
How many people like the latter we meet
in every day life! Let us try to keep ourselves from being obstinate. It does not
do anyone any good and it will lose us
many friends and cause us much unpleasantness.
"Carry On."
They spoke it bravely, grimly, 111 their
darkest hours of doubt;
They spoke it when their hope was low and
when their strength gave out;
We heard it from the dying in those
troubled days now gone,
And they breathed it as their slogan for the
living: "Carry On."
The Great War is over. To those of us
who had no active part in it, or had no one
near or dear to us who made the
Lest We
supreme sacrifice, it seems only
Forget
a terrible dream. In the hearts
of the boys who wore the khaki and suffered the intense horrors of trench life, the
war still stands as a vital means to an end.
That end was that America's democracy
might live, and they did not fight in vain.
The comfort and liberty which we enjoy
today, \\'e O\Ye to them. Freedom is still
i\ merica 's distinguishing characteristic and
our experiment in democracy has not failed.
• Tow the days of strife are over, and the
skies are fair again,
But those two brave words of courage on
our lips should still remain;
In the trials which beset us and the cares
we look upon,
To our dead we should be faithful-we
have still to "carry on!"
"Carry on !" through storm and danger,
"carry on" through dark despair,
"Carry on" through hurt and failure, "carry
on" through grief and care;
'Twas the slogan they bequeathed us as
they fell beside the way,
And for them and for our children, let us
"carry on!" today.

THE ORACLE
iathcr had been dead fur over a year. After
some inquiries, he learned of his father's
inn·stment in the oil fields, and aL o found
that \Ir. Carfax had succeeded in intercsti11g a \Ir. \\'illiam Campbell in the same
CJil property. and that these fields were now
prCJducing oil. I le found that Carfax was
no l<Jllger in tCJ\\ n, and that this l\I r. Campliell had disappeared a short time before,
and had nCJt since been heard of. At this
point it might be well to add that this Caria.· oil property was known as the Reel
Circle Oil Fields.
"I• urtlwr inquirics brought the iniormation !CJ y<1ung \Tr. Sheldon that Edwin Cariax had Jea-;cd th( I{( d l irck ( >il Fields,

closely examined that nice meerschaum
pipe, ai1cl perhaps also noticed that I emptied the contents of its bowl into the palm
of my hand, and later put the tobacco into
my pocket. I also filled my own pipe from
the jar that stood on the stand, but the call
for luncheon gave me an opportunity to
place it in my pocket unlighted.
"A chemical analysis of the tobacco
found in that merschaum pipe showed it to
contain a certain chemical which, if taken
in sufficient quantities, burned, and the
smoke inhaled would cause almost instant
death.
"The analyzing of the tobacco taken from
the jar, however, showed it to be perfectly
clear of any such chemicals. My next step
must be obvious. It was to find who was
responsible for the doped tobacco.

the fact that the chemically treated tobacco

THE
ORACLE
THE ETERNAL LOVE
T
Charlotte R Bowman, '25.
HE wind blew violently about the
old mansion seeming to tear it
awa) from the age-old cliff upon
which it was built. The rain beat
against it and the wild waves dashed angrily upon the crags far below!
The elderly lady within watched this
storm as she had watched many such tempests on Cape Cod Bay. She peered out
into the black night wondering if her husband, Captain Alden, had reached the lighthouse in saf<:ty. \\'urd had been received
that a vessel had struck the shoals opposite
tile lighthouse and was in great danger.
The lifeboats were manned at once, to
rescue the li\·ing from the sinking ship.
Captain Alden, together \\ ith the crew,
h<'lped the frantic passengers into the boats.
At last it seemed to him that all had been
lowered into the lifeboats below him-hut
what \YaS that woman cluing over in the
stern of the ship? IIe reached her just in
time to save her from flinging herself over
into the angry waves which would have
lieen only too glad to claim her for their
own.
The Captain carried her limp form over
to the lifeboat where he gently passed her
to one of the men, while he caught up an
oar. Shore was reached and the passengers
helped into the lighthouse, all but the
"um an \\horn Captain Alden had sand.
TI e gathered her dripping· form into his
arms and hastened hack to the mansion
with her. i lother would know \\hat to do.
Indeed she did! As soon a the Captain
opened the door ;\lother had hot blankets
ready to wrap the poor woman in, fur she
had seen him comi1w hy the fla h of his
lantern. Stimulant wa forced between her
tel'th. 1\ it er a11 hour's work, her breathing
liccame regular.
nder the light the
woman JHOH~d to he a o-irl of about si.·teen
or l'\"l'lltl'\'n year of age.
"Mother, did you ever see such a pretty
picture?" said the Captain, as he smoothed
back the black locks. It was, indeed, a
beautiful gift which the sea had so unwittingly given to them. The beautiful face
was framed by a mass of dark, curly hair.
She reminded one of an old, delicate carving of an exquisite beauty. She had a look
uf pain about the sensitive mouth as if she
had suffered some severe misfortune. She
opened her eyes upon the two people bent
onr her as she lay upon the davenpt)rt in
front of a huge, glowing fireplace. They
were soft. brown eyes. "They look like the
eyes of a frightened fawn," thoug 1 t the
Captain, as he gazed into their ·,rown
depths.
"\Vhere am I?" she cried, and sanl again
into unconsciousness.
After long weeks of illness, Anne, for so
her name proved to be-was able to walk
about the old mansion . Her name was
Anne, hut "·ho was she? The terror and
hardships through which she had passed
had left her mind a blank as to her past life.
11 er every mfJvement showed signs of refinement and culture, but nothing more was
kno\\ n.
.\ the days passed, the old couple grew
to care for her dearly. She \Vas entirely
happy now, with just one trouble to mar
that happiness. \Vho \\·as she? One day
after Anne had been \\ ith them ior several
months, :\Iothcr-for so Anne called her
now bade L\nne follow her up a long flight
oi stairs to the second and highest story
in the old mansion. At the end of the
loll''
hall thev
came to a door which
h
'
;\l other opened "i th a tiny key. Softly the
d(Jor viel<led to her touch and Anne found
hnseif in a large room. She gazed about
her in awe, for she was standing in a room
.;o richly furni heel that it seemed like a
palace. I Icr gaze fell upon one object, to-
THE ORACLE
ward which she eagerly ran. In one corner
of the room was a piano, so old and delicate,
that it must have been the product of a
master. Anne was no sooner seated before
it than a flood-oi music filled the room. She
played on and on, forgetful of all else. Mrs.
Alden listened to the sweet melodies with
tears in her eyes, far off memories filling her
thoughts.
Finally, when she could play no longer,
Anne came over to Mrs. Alden's chair and
sat down by her side. "Oh, Mother, I almost remembered who I was," she said, as
she looked at her with starry eyes and
glowing cheeks. "Why can't I remember?"
The pleading look on the beautiful face beside her made Mrs. Alden's heart ache with
pity for this girl who had so strangely come
to her.
"Anne," she began, "I have brought you
up here today to tell you a strange and sad
story. "Anne, this room belongs to my
son," she went on; "during that last horrible year of the World war, which you and
I have studied about, Mr. Alden and I
were compelled to stay in France, where we
had been touring, for the officials would not
let us come back to America. There we
found this little boy-or young lad-for he
was then but fifteen years of age. His
mother and father had been killed; his little
sister, two years younger than he, had been
lost during one oi those terrible battles.
Donald-that is his name, was frantic with
grief. He hunted everywhere for his sister,
but all in vain. Mr. Alden and I found the
poor, little lad near the ruins of his home
and in pity took him home with us. We
grew to love him as our own, finally adopting him. He was the son of a wealthy family in France. His mother was an American; his father, a famous French musician.
So Donald had no relatives left after the
war. He inherited his father's talent as a
musician and is abroad now studying under
a French master. His main purpose in going abroad has been to find his sister.
Donald never loses hope, although it has
been five years now since the war.
The
grief of losing her-one whom he loved so
dearly has fairly turned his mind. His love
for us and his music are all that save him
from insanity.
"There is another thing I want to ask
you; Anne, the Captain and I love you as
if you were our o~vn, will you be our daughter? I am sure Donald will, too, and perhaps you can take the place of his sister.
Will you, Anne?"
l t was the yearnings of a childless woman
wishing for a daughter to love-some one
to call her own.
Anne. touched to the heart, was weeping
as she listened to the sad story. "Oh,
Mother, if you only knew how I love you
and Captain John. I will try to fulfill your
trnst." she answered, simply; "I do want to
take the place of Donald's sister, too," she
added.
"You will soo11 know, Anne. I have just
received a telegram from Donald, saying he
will be home some time next week.
"Oh, Anne," she said, "that means he has
not found her or he would have mentioned
it; hut there, I must be brave, he is coming
home-what more can I ask?"
The days wore on until the promised week
came-the week Donald was expected
home.
Anne spent most of lier time at the piano
in the quiet room with her music and her
flowers.
But also she delighted to wander about
the old mansion; to explore the sea-caves.
In fact, the Captain declared she looked like
a beautiful water-nymph as she poised upon
'.l high clilT, suddenly darting- into the foalll111g waves, to appear again only to repeat
the performance. She and
'aptain John
became great "pals."
So Anne won the l1earts oi her kind
parents. The old house rang once more
with girlish laughter.
On(· night the last of the week, i\ 1111c stole
T HE ORACLE
...
softly up the stairs to the music room or
"my brother's room," she would say to herself. There she would softly play enchanting melodies on the old piano. A door
opened out upon a tiny balcony where she
sometimes liked to sit and gaze down upon
the old fashioned garden, which sent its
sweet aroma up to her. The very mystic
air of the night seemed to weave strange
dreams about her.
The flashing fountain
and the wind whispered their secrets to her.
A quiet peace seemed to steal over her there.
The silvery moon, too, seemed a companion
in her lonely vigils. This night she played
a dreamy melody-never did she use the
\\'ritten score of music for somewhere,
~ometime, she had learned the art of harmrmy. Sweetly, the strain rang out upon
the stillness of the night air.
They reached the ears of a boy coming
slowly up the path to the old mansion. Ile
stopped and listened to the enchanting
m us1c. A look of fear crossed his iace.
"At last it has come," he said, "that power
which I have fought against. I must be insane!" There was only one in the world
"ho could play like that-my sister. I can
hear her playing!"
On and on the music pealed, now loud,
no\\ soft, as if it \Vere trying to comfort the
heart-broken youth. Suddenly it ceased
and all was quiet.
The youth slowly walked up the path, his
eyes on the light \\'hich seemed to be shining
from the balcony above. Why, that was
his room! A vision in white came out upon
the balcony. She stood like an angel from
heaven, her arms held out to the silvery
moon.
As one in a trance, Donald looked at her.
She had black, curly hair, falling in ringlets
about her face, soft, dreamy eyes, and red,
ruby lips. He could see her so plainly
there in the moonlight. Were his eyes deceiving him as his ears had done? But
no ! She was moving; she had seen him!
She was calling to him!
"Anne!" he called; the word pierced the
air-so quickly did he speak.
"Donald!
My brother," she answered.
\Vith the yearnings of years the two stood
looking at each other. Anne suddenly remembered all now; how the dreadful war
had taken her parents; had separated
Donald from her. How she had toiled for
those four dreadful years in Germany,
where she had been held as a captive;
finally, the voyage home to her mother's
country. All these horrors of her past life
flashed through her mind as she stood looking down upon her brother.
Donald's face was transformed. He had
found her-his Anne, all the world to him.
Ile \\'aS fast climbing the trellis which led
up to the balcony. It was a slight frame,
but nothing daunted him and he ascended it
as quickly as if it had been a ladder. In a
moment he \\'as helped over the railing into
a pair of eager arms. There stood the two
enfolded in a love of years.

stop to think about it you will see they are,
too.
There are all the races and animals in the
word universe that there are in the man universe; they have their great, forceful, upright white leaders; sunny people of the
south; people that live in the cold that seem
to get like the icebergs around them;
treacherous people that belong to the yellow race; war loving barbarians; bitter, savage people from dark glens.
Can't you see them when you read?
Don't you sec a procession of them walking past you? Or aren't you favored with
that gift that in reading you can say, "Sec,
rthere goes a freckled-face tomboy, running
to catch up and pull the pigtails of that
long-legged, gawky girl; behind them there
is a poor worn out laborer, whom a haughty
aristocrat passes with scorn as he stops to
look into a jeweler's window; at that corner a Bolshevist and philanthropist arc attracting a crowd; a pathetic urchin-crippled by some of our unthinking people- is
selling papers; a keen, young student and
his philosopher father goes past; there arc
some gossipers shaking their heads over a
crowd of laughing, indifferent sub-debs;
how funny that lazy, gouty man looks with
the quick, elf-like old man by hi · side; a
brilliant phosphorous woman is giving alms
to a beggar; quiet, drab by people; there arc

Words have their small, sleek wolves and
snakes that get into well meaning armies

The seniors held their election for class
parts during April, with the following results:
Parting Address, Raymond Worster.
Class History-Arline Babcock and Alan

General, Helen Reid.
Commercial, James Samway.

Louis Youngs, our newly elected track
manager, spoke in chapel about the Radio
dance which was given by the track team
in the Assembly Hall, April 25. This is
something new (the dance, not Mr.
Youngs' speech!) and \vas, as we all know,
success[ ul.
Mr. Proctor mentioned that
the Athletic Council's financial resources
were nil, and that, therefore, we ought to
come to the dance and help out. There
were also a candy sale and a minstrel show
under the auspices of the track team. If
Manager Youngs keeps on as he has started, he will deprive us of all our hard earned
cash and we won't have any left for our
Senior banquet-and that would be a
calamity. The new manager is certainly
very enterprising, anyway-we all admit
that.
The band has been doing good work this
year and closed the season with a band
concert and dance on Saturday, April 26.
The band gave us a fine selection featuring
Karl Larson as soloist, in chapel one morning, and that wa only a ample of the fine
performance they will give under the able
leadership of Mr. Alton Robinson.
On Monday, April 14, occurred the annual clash between the boys' and girls' debating societies. The question was much
more serious than it has been the past few
years. being: "Resolved, That the main
entrance to Bangor High school be closed
and the resulting space be used as a dog
pound." The girls upheld the question
while the boys opposed it.
In the girls' arguments were mentioned
some of the dire results of continuing to
allow the dogs to be educated in the class
rooms with the students, and of allowing
stud en ts, especially freshmen, to use the
main door. The disadvantages of permitting parents and teachers to use the same
door was also pointed out.
The boys read several telegrams and letters from such people as the President oi
the United States and the governor of the
state. All such authorities seemed to view
the proposal with disfavor, especially telling of the catastrophe it \\'Ot1ld cause in the
country at large. 'J he ho) s also showed
the terrible expense to the school of supporting the clogs at the rate of a hundred
a day, which, as they maintained, would necessitate the buying of thirteen hundred
dog biscuits a clay. This last point was
hotly disputed by the girls. Then the boys
produced a better plan. They suggested
separate kennels in each room where the
students would have to do the feeding.
The arguments o( both sides showed
careful thought and preparation.
But, in
spite of the many trong features in the
arguments of the negative, which was represented by IJarolcl O'Connell, Charles
O' 'onnor and Harold Schiro, the decision
was gi vcn to the alTi rmative, supported by
1larion Schriver, Ellen l\1alon •y, Mary
Street, and Margaret Spurr. It was 110tic ·cl that there " ·re more girls pre ent at
the debate than boys.

This was a very hard won and welcome
victory for the local team.
Many full
hours had been spent practicing for March
I, when the game was played at the High
School Gym.
The Hampden girls \\'ere used to a very
small floor and so were rather afraid of the
big one. Bangor, wishing that their visitors should he under no disadvantage, gave
them the use of the Gym for two afternoons. Thus, when the game began the
teams were evenly matched.
From the very start the Crimson girls
played a cool, strong game. The deiense
by Treat and Silsby could not be broken.
Only t\\ice did Hampden get a basket from
the floor. \Vith Bangor always in the lead,

think one way and some another, and I'll
teach round or flat, just as the parents
please."

THE ORACLE
Matter of Taste.
A woman engaged a new maid, with
whose appearance and manner she was
greatly pleased. \Nhen the terms had been
agreed upon the mistress said, "Now, my
la t maid \ms much too friendly with the
policeman. I hope I can trust you?"
"Indeed you can, ma'am," replied the new
maid. "I can't bear policemen. I was
brought up to hate the very sight of them.
You sec, my father was a hurglar."
"Too many people wait until a poet is
dead before praising him," said Professor
Elkins.
"It seems to me that the only praiseworthy thing the average poet docs is to die

many of his as ociates.
":.\Iy ancestors came over in the Mayflower,'' he announced.

they did," replied one of the fair ones of
his set; "the immigration laws are somewhat stricter now."
A Safe Partner.
The I falls belic\e that their Tommy,
aged five, will make his mark. Last summer ' the ...voun""stcr
was seen walking
b
slowly along the hotel porch, thoughtfully
scanning the faces of guests seated there.
l•inall) he stopped at the chair of a friendly
old lady.
"Say, ~Trs. Smith, can you crack nuts?"
he inquired, his hands in his pockets.
"\Vhy, no dcaric, I can't," she replied.
"Yem know f've lost mo t of my teeth."
'"J hat's "hat I thoug·ht," said Tommy,
extending his two hand confidently. "'vVill
you l·ccp the. e nut for me while I go get

His Tally.
"Let me see, Brother Johnson," began
the presiding elder, "how old is your youngest?"
"He's just two ·weeks and three days
old," promptly replied Mr. Johnson.
"Why--- land o' the living,' Al!"
cried :Mrs. Johnson. "You know good and
well the baby is 14 months old!"
"A"" the baby! Mebby so, for all I
know. I thought the parson was asking
about the pup."
Fractions.
Sammy tried to make practical application of what he learned at school. When,
therefore, his mother, naturally interested
in his playmates, asked if one of his new
friends was an only child, Sammy looked
wise.
"He's got just one sister,'' said Sammy.
"IIe tried to catch me when he told me he
had two half-sisters, but I guess I know
enough fractions for that."
Wanted to Be Sure.
Mother: "\Vhat on earth do you mean
by breaking all those eggs?"
Willie: "Well, you see, Dad said there
was money in eggs and I wanted to find
out."
At the Corner Store.
Badly defeated candidate: "Did you

Hank, reassuringly: "Sure. I was the

(Continued fro111par;c1)
for lhP Pnd of the fifth period and
I bounded off for home to try this
new paste.
"It was much better than any I
had ever u><e<l before. but still the
brush slipped. I decided then and
there to make some myself that
would meet all requirements. I
sl<illfully squeezed the contents of
the tulle into a small glass tumblPr. I then ran down stairs and
into the garage to get some valve
grinding compound, and on my way
up I took a bottle of glue. Into the
glasR I poured both the glue and
compound. This,
I
thoroughly
mixed with a stick and spread it
on my tooth brush. The minute I
ruhhecl my teeth with this new
paste I knew I had done the trick.
It worked. I at once felt myf'elf
become a millionaire. I ran down
8tairs and wrote to ·washington to
haYe it patented. Now, I can supply you with any amount of nonskid tooth pastc~guaranteed not to
slip."
THE ORACLE
Their Destination.
The young couple were making their first
long motor trip. They had blown out two
tires, ruined their clothes in a sudden rainstorm, paid ten dollars to get pulled out of
the mud and then had lost their way. The
husband got out with a flashlight to inspect
a signboard.
"Are we on the right road, dear?" called
his wife.
"\Ve sure are," he replied, grimly, "but
we didn't know it."
The sign read: "To the Poorhouse."
Perfect Equality.
Father \Vhy is it. that you are always at
the bottom of the class?
Johnny-lt doesn't make any difference,
daddy; they teach the same things at both
ends.
A Notice.
11rs. Cobb decided to visit London and
spend the day with a friend.
ITer grocer
had not called by the time he was ready to
leave, so she wrote on a card: "All out.
Don't leave anything," and tacked it on the
door.
Upon her return at night she discovered
that the house had been ran acked. On the
card which she had left on the door these
word had been added:
"Thanks. but we couldn't take the heavy
iurniture."
Exact Information.
"Send us ten cent, and let us tell you the
be:;t way to keep bread from becoming
moldy," read an advertisement, in a suburban paper, and Aunt ~Taria did so. By
return mail came a post card with th ·se
words:
.. Eat it!"
Due Precaution.
"No," said the dentist, to a patient, who
was opening his purse, "don't trouble to
pay me in advance."
"I'm not," flashed the patient. "I'm only
counting my money before you give me
gas."
One Advantage.
"I tell ) ou what," said the old codger.
"You can go ahead and make fun of the
little old flivver cars, but they have their
advantages."
"Is that so?" asked a listener.
"You just bet it's so! Why, when the
l(ight Place store was robbed the other
night the villains tried to steal my flivver,
too, to haul the clunnage off in, and by
gorry, they couldn't get it started."
A good Idea.
"\Vhat is the best thing for a person to
do before he starts to run an automobile
for the first time?" asked the gaunt mountaineer's wife.
"j'ine the church, 1 reckon," was the reply.
Living Proof.
"If. you persist in drinking so much tea,
1\Iarjorie," said the caller, "you will be an
old maid."
''I clon't belie\'e it," refuted nine-year-old
1\larjorie, '"cause marnma drinks lots of tea,
and she has l>een married twice and isn't an
old maid yet."
Unce Jack asked little Alice if she did
not \\'ant him to play \ ith her.
"(>Ii, no," sh· saicl; "we're playing Indian and you're no good 'cause you're
ralped already."

THE
The Difference.
"Father, what is the difference between
cannibals and other folks?" questioned
young Albert.
"\Veil, my hoy, cannibals cat their enemies; as a rule other people go no further
than to live on their iricnds and relatives."
Her Problem.
The real estate man \\as anxious to close
the deal.
"\\'hy, I tell you, l\lrs. Dunmore, this tobacco plantation is a real bargain. What

The prospective hut incxpcrienc<'d purchaser pondered. "l 'rn not worrying, particularly," . he said, "hut I was just \\ondering if I bought it whether to plant cigars
or cigarettes."
ORACLE

Strictly Up-to-the-Minute.
"Are your new neighbors modern people?"
"Modern? Say, they sent in last night
tu borrow our radio set!"
Ellen's Query·
Ellen was a summer boarder,
And to please her they did try,
So the fruits, each in its season,
\Vere in turn made in a pie.
Rich or Poor?
The popular preacher of a wealthy
church one day indulged in a hit of sarcasm
as he noted the smallness of the collection
\\ hich had just been taken up.
"\Vhcn l look at the congregation," he
said, "I ask, 'Where arc the poor?' and
when I look at the collection, I ask, 'Where
are the rich?' "
Experienced.
The determined looking woman alighted
i rom the cl river's scat as the victim of her
car picked himself up from the dust and
began to take stock of his injuries.
"f'm sorry I hit you," she said, grudgingly, "hut it was your fault. You must
have been \\al king carelessly. I am an
l'«pericncecl driver. I've been driving a
car for seven years."
"\\'ell," replied the man, as he dusted
himscl f off. "1 'm no novice myself. "I've
been \\'al king for 57) cars."
Every day \\as something difTcrcnt Blackberries and currants red,
Blueberries and juicy apples,
\Vith rich spice and sugar wed.
But her favorite s;rn she never,
r,ookc(l in vain the talile o'er;
Till one day she asked her mother,
"Don't the minces grow no more?"
Making Aunty Happy.
"It is the duty of every one to make at
least one per!'lon happy during the week,"
said the teacher. "J la vc you (lone so,
Willie?"
"Ycs'm," replied the hoy.
"That's right. \\'hat did yuu do?"
"I "·cnt to sec my aunt, and she \\·as

Willing to Divide.
"Johnnie \\'hite," said the teacher, senrely, "is that che\\'ing gum you have in

Willing· to Do His Best.
Out in \\'yoming a train ran over the

The claim adjuster went out to the home
of Ole to adjust the claim likely to be made
by Ole ior the loss of his co\\".
"\V ell, l\T r. Oleson," said the claim adjuster, "l came out to sec about your cow
