NO TEARS SHED AS HUNTERS LEAVE
Hugh Treadwell and Joseph T
Dillard having nothing else to
do whiled away a few hours last
Saturday evening hunting jack
rabbits Each were armed with
a 22 calibre rifle and the spec-
tacle presented the appearance
of Mutt ard Jeff hiking toward
the Mexican border They wore
common every-day apparel and
the fact that they were not clad
in khaki perhaps accounts for
the reason that some of the Wau-
rika girls were not weeping and
no kisses exchanged as is usually
the case when a troop train passes
through
But back to the first thought
it is reported that Hugh — with
a 22 mind you— made a center
shot and hit a rabbit every time
one bobbed up but only one came
in sight And Joe oh well we
didn’t believe his story anyway
and will not impose on our read-
ers by trying to make them think
this is an age of miracles

your watch and your automobile
But do you know the name of your
fire insurance company ?
Few men do yet statistics show that
six out of every seven fire insurance
companies that are organized either
fcl or retire from business
It pays to know the company that
carries your risk When you know
the Hartford you know a good
sound reliable company — one that
has cheerfully promptly and fully
paid every honest claim for one
hundred and four years

' What has become of Blanchard
Ripley James? Long ago he was a
high school classmate of mine out iu
Ohio and now he is lost The other
duy 1 found that they were advertis-
ing for hltf postotllue address in the
village paper hack home - It seems
that fop-years and years be clerked iu
a store in Grand Rapids after which
he tightened up his belt strap and
made a dive into the great West —
with what success nobody knows
says “Sid" in The American Magazine
1 “Well sir I could not believe it
Blanchard Ripley James lost? Never!
Why he was the boy we voted as the
one among us with the brightest fu-
ture The greatest things were predict-
ed for him He looked like Daniel
Webster kept his hair brushed beat
us all at our studies took more Inter-
est in school than anybody — and
above all how he could wag his jaw?
He was the best speaker of pieces
that ever walked up the steps of the
rostrum of the Second Congregational
church On graduation night he was
our prize 'exhibit The rest of us
looked foolish beside him and felt
foolish Our only pride lay in the fact
that for the moment our names were
printed cn ths program with his and
we were going to receive just as good
an imitation sheepskin diploma as he
But of course we expected that on
the morning after graduation the gulf
between him ard us would begin to
widen ard would increase until ho
would be talking on the ticor of the
United States senate and we with
cur wives and children would be sit-
ting in the visitors' gallery happy in
our membership in the 'i-Knew-Iiim-When"
club
But the whole thing has shifted
You can page the United States sen-
ate and even the house of representa-
tives and ycu won t find him He is
not there Blanchard simply did not
come through with the wallop
What is the answer? The answer
is that youth is always a mystery You
simply cannct pick winners that early
You caunot distinguish between the
ablo and the stupid tho slippery and
the honest the playful and the vicious
the imitative and the original the
weak and the strong the aggressive
and the servile the ambitious and the
complacent Youth is a period of un-
certainty and hope This is one rea-
son why fathers and mothers are so
happy ever their children N'otibdy
knows what great surprise Is in store
The slowest-appearing child in tho
family may (may mind you) turn out
to be a howling genius At any rate
the neighbors had best not point the
linger cf scorn— not yet net yet! For
If they do they may have to take it
back
And so clear up to the commence-
ent night and for seme time after
lathers and mothers can claim great
things for every child in the family —
and nobody will dare dispute them Of
course the world will finally call for
a show-down but when It does those
who might be Interested in the result
are themselves lost or scattered so
far that It would take an explorer to
Bad them and carry them the news
Some boys die In youth — thus pre-
serving forever the mystery as to
their hidden talents Usually it is
taid cf such that they were bright and
remarkable with a great future be-
fore them We all worship success
—even going so far as to worship it
where it does not exist
