carried on in a happy way,
J ' old Billiim-aay:
"I'm better than you are!" j
H. J. R.: "Take it from me,
ou're in for trouble now!
Ill make a stew and a fricasee
Of the hide of you, you Chimpanzee!
To get your waving red goatee
I hereby make a vow!"
Now H. J. R. and Senate Bill
Were well put-up and strong;
Bill had nerve and an iron will,
And big biceps and .muscles; still
Old H. J. R. laughed fit to kill
And started on a song.
They fought like demons drunk with
sin,
And wrestled to and fro;
'Twas tit for tat, with fifteen yen
(Until the bettor called it in)
That each would die; they quit it
• when
They both got a VETO!

TO RE-OPEN FACTORIES »
London, Sept. 8.—A dispatch to
the Chronicle from Amsterdam says
that the Germans are preparing to
reopen immediately the gun factories
at Cockrell, near Liege. These fac-
tories, covering 375 acres, were one
of the richest prizes captured by the
Germans.
The whole concern has been taken
over by the Prussian war office, which
haB offered the Belgian workmen 50
per cent increase in wages to remain
at their places.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Finney Clay of
Independence spent Tuesday in Bren-
ham.

nell and Miss Nancy Connell Koye

Exactly—there are hundreds of deaths each
year that can be directly or indirectly tra-~
ced to the simple littlp bites of mosquitoes.
These little pests carry and spread disease.
It's not so much the sting of their bite as
the dread of the infection. Therefore you
"should take extra precaution to treat mos-
quito bites as being more than mere bites.,
Schlrmachor's Mosquito Lotion
not only allays the itch and sting, but ster-
ilizes the part affected because of its an-
tiseptic and healing properties. Used as a
protection from the effect of mosquito bites,
this lotion becomes doubly valuable. Put a
bottle of it in your grip.

AND BRITONS HIP THEIR TEA
Great National Habit Still Calmly
Holds Sway in England.
Ernest H. Abbott In the Autlook.
Friday, August 14, the day be-
fore I was to take the steamer for
New York, I read a notice in Liver-
pool ttffet All filters not British
subjects had to present themselves
to be registered by the police.
My friend and I started out to com-
ply with the requirement. Police-
man after policeman, In directing us
to the police station, Informed us
that though we were Americans, cit
izens of a neutral country, and
though we were to sail the next day,
we should have to be registered or
we should not be allowed to leave
the country. By the time the third
officer told us that, we were con-
sumed wlthi an eagerness to have our
finger prints taken.
At last we found the police sta-
tion, only to be told that we could
not be registered, because "they"
had gone out "to tea". There was
something reassuring about that.
British Institutions seemed, after all,
to be solid. We were going to cross
the ocean under the British flag;
and if the police could adjourn reg-
istration of aliens in time of war
because of "afternoon tea," we de-
cided that the British fleet must still
rule the wave.
