The Green family ate thrir lunch eon in the carryall on Main itrett, after the circus parade had tuned. They didn't forget to give old dot; bmt something to eat out of the lig basket that they had brought with them from , home. Although they hadn't expected him to go to the village with them, there was more than enough cod for every- 'Tfceg needn't think thttj can keep me hew." SpoS jrowlsd. . , body. Even Johnnie Green's appe tite wasn't equal to all the goodicj that his mother had provided. People were already starting for the circus grounds on the outskirts of the village, Johnnie Green noticed them uneasily. "We dou't want to be late for the show," he reminded his father. "We will get there in time," Farmer Green assured him. And they did. Soon they followed the crowd through the village streets until they came in sight of the "big top," and the great tent with flag flying above it, and smaller tents all around. Farmer Green turned the bays into a i yard nearby, where he un harnessed and fed them. Then he tied one end of a rope to Spot's ; collar and fastened the other end to a carriage wheel. "There," he said. "N'ow we're ready." Old dog Spot didn't want to b; left behind. He tugged at ,thc rope and whined. "Be; quiet!" Johnnie Green's ta thcr said to him.

The emerald has the power to bestow upon them extra ordinary intelligence, and an almost uncanny ; gift of xlivination; in this way fortunes may be amassed by the wearer of the emerald.

(Copyright, 1921. Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) WHY- Is Melted Cheese Called a "Welch Rabbit?" The name of the dish composed of melted cheese, with the addition of sundry sauces and piquant flavorings, is usually spelled "rarebit," an error tlue to the fact that persons who would -se. no resemblance between their favbrite midnight' repast and a hare which came from Wales con- eluded that irmust be a "rare bit." Even such authorities as Worcester and Webster were formerly guilty of this mistake, until an examination of , continental colloquialisms j showed 1 them where they erred. r -' "Welsh rabbit" is nothing more than slang, belonging to the same category as a number'of other, but less familiar, names applied to the favorite' dishes of various communi- ;er". In, England, for xamtle, they still refer , to a sheep's head stewed , with ohiona as a "German duck," awhile a bag-pudding is a "Leicester shire plover" and "Norfolk capon" is nothing more than eating-house slang tor a herring. Following the same school of rough wit, the. French call a herring a "poulet de careme" or "Lenten chicken," while "the Italians reverse this' process, referring to a - chicken, -lis a "fish out of 'the coop." Nor is the custom by any - means confined to European countries, as . witness the New England " habit of speaking of codfish as "Cape : Cod turkeys" and the .current alang oi "Irish confetti" instead of bricks. . So, "Welsh rabbit" it should re main on account of the fondness of the Welsh for toasted cheese and not 'because it is a rare bit or deli cacy. .- '.-. ' , .. Copyr1sht, 1S1, Whwler Syndicate Inc.)

"I didn't run atl the way from the (arm to the village to be tied to a wagon wheel" Johnnie Green and lit father and mother hadn't been gone a quarter 01 an hour when jpot succeeded in slipping his collar over hit head, then he dashed out of the yard and ran to the circua ground, a fait at he could go. Spot mingled with the crowds of people that were pouring into the big tent. He worked hia - way In and out among the throng, all but tripping many of the pleasure seek er. ' At last Spot met a man a clrcui man who was very friendly. It was pleasant to get a kind word from somebody, after ao many people had told him to "get out," and had giv en him a shove out ot their way. This friendly person called Spot into a low tent and patted him. He gave Spot a hit of meat and even thought to offer him a drink of water. "This is a fine pointer," the man remarked to a friend of his who was with him. "He hasn't any collar, so he must be anybody's dpg. And he might as well be mine. I could use him hunting this fall" Spot wagged his tail. He didn't quite understand what his new ac quaintance was saying. But it seemed to be something tike. And then Spot decided, suddenly, that he had stayed in that tent long enough. For the pleasant man found a piece ot rope and tried to tie it about Spot's neck. "I've been tied up once today, and once is enough." Spot growled. Slip ping out of the man's grasp, Spot ran out of doors. Both men followed him. For a few minutes they chased him. One ot them tripped over a guy rope ana sprawled on the ground. And to es cape Spot dodged under a canvas wall where it lifted slightly at the bottom. He found himself in a huge tent where hundreds of people sat all around on tiers of seats. Men and horses were capering about in the center of the place. And somewhere a band was playing. He was under the big top. (Copyright, 1921, Bjr Tha Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)

Matthew AUami) City to Sue on Bond Given By Contractor For Garbage Removal The citr council passed a resolu tion yesterday authorizing the city legal department to file suit on the bond given by Henry Pollock, gar bage disposal contractor, to recover on his unfulfilled contract. A contract was given Pollock in the sum of $45,000 a year for the term of five years for the removal and disposal of the cities garbage, but a year ago Pollock disappeared, and ' his: bondsman, Harry V. Hay ward, took over the contract. Ac cording to Hayward, he lost money in the venture, and he also quit. Fred Shroeder, then took over the work, being paid $7,200 a month for three. niontns. The city now seeks to-'recover any amount over $45,000, that it may be forced to spend, from Pollock or his bondsman. P'VV. 'J r s ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooox TIKE CLEARANCE SALE .

Hut on fgmally these fires were undoubtedly connected with sun-worship. The fact that In some places these fires are still called "Dale-fire" is thought by some authorities to indicate that they were once lighted in honor of Saal, the Phoenician sun god.
