Dog Hill Paragrafs
By George Bingham
At Tickviilc last Thursday Cricket
Hicks tried to play hero before a

"
young lady and ran out in. front of a
runaway to stop it, but he did not
meet with success, as it turned out
to be the firewagon.
' '
Sidney' Hocks today stated that
the country was getting so dry a
person can drive from here to Bound
ing: Billows without even hitting a
stump.
j
Sim Flinders went out to a bee
hive one day this week to see if his
,becs reeded sfhythincr. He was met
at the tront door by a commute :
of them.
I'M THE GUY
I'M THE GUV who takes almost
eternity to make a move in check
ers. , Why shouldn't 1? I want to
win, and I mean to if I can possibly
do so. ,
I'm wise to your attempts to
hurry me by making all sorts of re
marks about my going' to sleep, or
taking a week off. But that doesn't
rattle me for a second.
In fact it oiify makes mc more
cautious, for 1 have to think longer.
.: I know the game isn't for money,
ud it isn't a case of life or death.
' Nevertheless I always go into
., any kind of a game with a determ
"'hiatipn to win, and it's principle
with me never to give up until I'm
absolutely beaten.
Don't tell me I can't play a de
cent game anyhow. Perhaps I do
overlook the right move, and 'leave
my opponent an opening for a clean
.-weep to the king row. That's noth
ing. I'd have done that if I had
moved in a hurry.
Don't try to make me spcecTup,
. if you know what's good for you.
I'm going to take my time, -whether
you like it or not. '
'Cklayfrj I'm not the best checker
player on earth, but you've got to
admit I'm the most cautious.

HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
What Maj. Grantland Did for
; Madge.
I spent a pliysicially luxurious,
but mentally uncomfortable after
noon in the. hotel to which Major
Grantland's chauffeur had directed
me.
The room to which the bell boy
had escorted me, after I hacTref?is
tcred and asked for a room with ad
joining bath, was unusually attrac
tive, with an immense window over
looking a winding avenue of long
leafed pines, which led down to the
main road. Its charm and restful
ness soothed my jangled nerves,
even as I looked at it.
There is a sybaritic strain in me
which responds to the luxury and
convenience of modern hotel ap
pointments. , I revelled in the hot
bath, the icy needle shower, the Soft
ness and fleeciness of the covers,
and the whiteness of. the linens of
the bed into which I crept after my
bath, to try to compose myself for
the nap I felt I sorely needed.
But I soon found that though I
could rest luxuriously, sleep would
not come to me. Major Grantland's
unexpected appearance at the rail
road station had complicated my
problem for me. Was it indeed pos
sible that my intuition at the railroad
station had been correct, and that he
was also going north on the Rich
mond train? I had a sudden vision of
Dicky's face if he should learn of
this angle, of my defiance, of his
wishes in regard to the northern
trip,
. My mental restlessness soon made
repose impossible for me. I also
became conscious of the fact that I
had 'eaten nothing since my hurried
and rather frugal breakfast. . I
knew that I needed hot food and j
drink if I were to face the rest of
the day 'and what it might bring
me. -
V I stepped to the wall telephone
and requested that a luncheon be
sent up to my room in half an hour.
Then I dressed, arranged my hair,
and put another small log upon the
fire which the attendant had lighted
it was already laid in the grate
when he brought my bags to the
room.
A deft and. courteous . colored
waiter brought my luncheon at the
lime I had specified, and I directed
him to put the table in the large
window enclosure. It is my theory
that all dining tables, wherever pos
sible, ought to be placed where the
diners can look outdoors instead of
at a wall. When I was finally set
tled in front of a perfectly cooked,
perfectly served luncheon, I looked
out upon the vista of long-l-afed
pines, and was as content as I
could possibly be under the circum
stances. I dismissed the waiter, and dis
cussed my luncheon leisurely, pro
longing the meal as much as I pos
sibly could, for I knew that I had
a tedious afternoon and evening in
front of me, the train north not
leaving until 10 o'clock at night.
But ft finally came, to an end, and
when I telephoned for the waiter,
I also ordered copies of the latest
magazines and newspapers to be
sent to my room, hoping that a long
afternoon of reading would keep
my mind from the questions annoy
ing me. ,
But like malignant little elves they
kept dancing in front of me until I
was positively glad when a knock
sounded on the door and an attend
ant brought me Major Grantland's
card. ' -
"Where is Major Grantland?" I
asked as I read the card.
"He am in de reception parlor,
ma'am, on de second floor. Shall I
show you where?"
"If you please," I responded,
crossing his palm with the piece of
silver he evidently expected.

edgment he led the way to the "re
ception parlor," w hich proved to be
a small sitting room, cozy and invit
ing, iq flowered chintz draperies and
furniture coverings.
Major Grantland sprang to his
feet as I entered and drew a chair
forward for me with the touch of
awkwardness which often invests his
movements, remained standing after
I had seated myself.
"Did you find comfortable accom
modations? lie asked, solicitously.
"Oh, wonderful!" i replied with
genuine enthusiasm. "Thank you so
much for directing me here."
"I am glad you like it," he said,
'for I am afraid you have a tedious
wait. I know enough about railroad
ing to realize that the train tonight
is apt to be very late.- However, I
shall. keep my man and car in attend
ance at the door here and keep in
constant touch with the railroad sta
tion, so that you will he spared the
uncomfortable wait there. I shall
know within IS minutes of the real
hour of departure and will see that
you get over in plenty of time. So
do not get nervous if you sea other
people hurrying about and very
much upset."
What infinite pains he was taking
to save me worry 1 The contrast of
his solicitude to Dicky's boorishness
about iny departure loomed large be
fore rat It made my voice, I am
afraid, unusually soft and grateful as
I looked up at him and answered:
"Experience has taught me, Major
Grantland, that it is impossible to be
nervous when you have charge of
things, ,pr to do anything else but
trust you implicitly."

Parents Problems
What can be done to overcome the
reluctance of a little t;irl of 9 who
must wear spectacles, to doing this?
The common sence of the child
must be appealed to. If such an ap
peal fails, the only thing to do is
to make the wearing of. the specta
cles a rule of health, like regularity
as to food and bed time. .
