Chicago, Nov. 7.—A slap on the
back did for little Leonard Gilbert
Wednesday what science had failed
for five months to do.
Last spring the 2 1-2 -year-old boy
awallowed a'screw. His parents did
not know of it until later when se-
vere spells of coughing developed.
Two operations were performed
without success, the screw being
Wedged in the windpipe in such a
manner that surgeons were unable to
reach it without endangering the
child's life.
Plans were made to take the child
to Philadelphia for a third operation.
He began coughing violently. His
nurse picked him up by the heels and
slapped him' hard on the back.
The screw dropped from the boy's
mouth. —Dallas News.

"One day I came home to my
mother," he says, "all lighted up
with pride. I had something big to
tell her.
" 'Mother,' I said, 'this is a great
day. At last I have $1,000,000 in the
bank. All my own.'
" 'Well,' said she, 'that's nice.'
"That's the last time she ever
mentioned it. I don't believe she
ever thought of it again."
the midnight Misadventure
of Q-regory Jones
A crash brought Mrs. Greg-
ory Jones bolt upright in bed,
her heart pounding.
"Whyl" demanded her hus-
band savagely, nursing a bruised
shin and groping for the light
twitch. "Wby did you have to
leave that chair tbtrti''
In the front hall the telephone
rang again, insistently. Jones
shivered in the draft from the
open window, and without
waiting for a reply, disappeared
through the doorway. Petu-
lantly, his voice driftea back to
her.
"No, Eleanor is not here...
Yes, we're expecting her to-
morrow. . .Tell her what! I'll
tell you, young man, that it's an
imposition to wake folks at
this time of night! And I'll de-
liver no messages!"
The receiver banged on the
hook. Jones, muttering to him-
self, stumbled back down the
hall. — ■
v "That settles it!" he ex-
claimed, still shivering. "To-
morrow, I'll have a telephone
put in this bedroom.
Mrs. Jones smiled drowsily,
snuggled deep into her pillow.
"Where have I henrd that
before," she murmured. "To-
morrow, I'll order one, myself."
Telephones where you need
them save time, patience—and
midnight misadventures.
Few know that one or two
additional instruments cost
considerably less than the single
telephone they now have!
By a wisciy-placed "exten-
sion" or two, and perhaps a re-
arrangement of the equipment
you already have, an expert
telephone man can often double
the convenience of your tele-
phone scrvice.

SQUIRRELS EAT FARMER'S
ENTIRE CROP OF CORN
Irvine, Ky.—James Richardson, of
the Doe creek section of Estill coun-
ty, says that more than a thousand
squirrels passed over his farm re-
cently, all in one drove. The squir-
rels, he related, in crossing his corn
field, ate his entire crop.
Richardson says the squirrels af-
ter partaking of the corn dived into
the Kentucky river and swam to the
other side. Richardson killed 25 of
the animals as they crossed his pro-
perty. After they swam the river
they continued through the moun-
tains, he asserted.

Rev. J. L. Blue, pastor of the
colored Methodist Church has been
sent back here for another year. He
is a good progressive citizen and is
trying in every way possible to ele-
vate his race. We are glad he came
back.
Nothin's wrong with Texas except
entirely too many of us get up in the
morning at the alarm of a Conneticut
clock, button a pair of Chicago trous-
ers to a pair of Ohio suspenders, put
on a pair of Massachusetts shoes,
wash in a Pittsburg tin basin, using
Cincinnati soap and a cotton towel
made in New Hampshine; sit down to
a Grand Rapids table, eat pancakes
made from Minneapolis flour, spread
with Vermont maple sugar. Kansas
City bacon fried on a St. Louis stove.
Buy fruit put up in California, sea-
soned with Rhode Island spices, and
sweetened with Colorado sugar. Put
on a hat made in Philadelphia, hitch
a Detroit mule fed on Oklahoma
gasoline to an Ohio plow, and work
like hell all day long on a Texas farm
covered with New England mort-
gages. Send our money to Ohio for
auto tires, wondering why Texas
taxes are $2.75 per acre while the
farmers of Ohio pay $1 tax and drive
on paved roads, while at night we
crawl under a New Jersey blanket, to
be kept awake by a bern dog, the
only home product on the place—
wondering all the while why ready
money and prosperity are not more
abundant in this wonderful State of
ours.—Little Louise of Orange Grove,
in Farm and Ranch.
In spite of the fact that there is a
widespread belief that stars can be
seen from a mine shaft in the day
time, no one has ever reported seeing
any. ,
