"I wondher what kind lv a Thanka slvln Tlddy Kosenfelt ia havln'. Ye !. n't hear much fr'm him these days. . yer said Mr. Hennessy. "Am I complalnln'T said Mr. Dooley. "TlUdy Rosenfelt done late what Ivry heero shud do Just about th' time he finds he's a heero. He dove Into th coal cellar. I don't think he done It quick enough. If I waa him I wud've made me escape arller. I wud've ex cused mesllf fr'm th' embrace so that I wuddnn't have to fight to keep fr'm beln' throttled. If I ever become a heero I'd be th' on'l prom'nent cltlien mlssln' fr'm th ovation. They wud meet but they wud miss me. I might satisfy mo pride be goln up th night befure an lookln at th' lor'l wreaths, th' tlstymonyals. th' blue immortelles an th' Kates ajar. But wBln me en t husya.it lo fellow cltlsens gathered In th' mornln' to do me honor with an ad dhreis Iv welcome In their left hands an' their right In their hip pockets, a alhrange man muffled up to th' eyes might ba seen boordln' a freight fr Keokuk. It wud be th' heero who took no chances. Maybe Tlddy Kosen felt tnjyea beln' a, heero so much that he'a wlllln' to take th chancea lv beln lynched aftherward. Annyhow what la there fr him to say. Th' best ya can do fr a heero whin he'a escaped th Just Indignation Iv his admirers ba a fut or two la to give him a chance to catch his breath. Let him hide fr awhile in comfort. Ho'a -down In th' cellar with th' most prom'nent an' dig nified people In th' wurruld hurlln" things at where they think he Is an' lnvltln' him to come out If he dares. Maybe he'll watt fr awhile an' thin put a few lumps lv coal In his pockets, slip out th' back way aa' fall on th' thrlum phal pro-clssyon Just as It's break In' up. Ya nlTer can telL But whatever he does we'll all ba glad to see him again. Ye can bet on that. Aven If I waa a ralmbrr It th' Bankera Pro-tlc-tlve Assocyatlon I'd say that much. Ya can't be mad at a man because he thrled ttJ knock off ye'er stovepipe hat. onless ye don't like him. If ye ra-aly don't Ilka him ye cud be mad at him about annythlng. "But I didn't start to talk about Tlddy Rosenfelt. Can't ye get off that aub JlckT I started to say somethln' about Thanksglvtn' an' ye turned me mind away fr'm It. What I. was goln' to say I don't remlmber. It waa some thln' about, let me see. oh. that we, ought to be thankful Ivry day In th' year an' not wait ontll we get notice fr'm th authorities that onless we ap pear on th' last Thursdah In Novlmber our names will be sthrlcken fr'm th' rolls. I don't like to have a Thanks glvtn' proclamation earved on me like a dispossess notice. I defy th' polls to ordher ma to be thankful nrxt week anny more thin th" week befure oi th week afther. I refuse to be ordhered around. Iv coorse 1 ain't goln' to ba a rtter. I won't make anny throuble. Th" gov'nor won't have to tell mo to move on an' bo thankful. I'll be thank ful on Thanksglvtn' day whin Ivrybody Is accoordln to law an' I'll ba thank ful th' day afther. whin there's no legal ralson why I shud be. Ya can't ba thankful too much or too often. It don't get ye much but It makes ya In Jye what ye get more." . "I haven't been payln" anny attln tlon to what ya said." Mr. Hennessy remarked. "Do ye think Taft an" Ros enfelt are frlndlyr "They might be." said Mr. Dooley, "If they didn't have so manny frlnds." (Copyright. IMP, by F. P. Dunne.)

The com plaint declares that the mortgages were riven to the Bank of Seaside and to F. W. Welter through a conspiracy to defraud other creditors, and after the merchandise dealers had supplied the lumber company with goods of the value of $272. The application was signed by 8el ness & Wheatley, Dresser Mercantile Company. Morris & Blakemore. R. A. Price. Andrew Merlla, Leonard Oen. Samuel Lebeck and J. E. Dillon. In addition to raising a conflict of authority between the courts of the United States and the state of Oregon, the question now Invoolves a settle ment of suits brought by the laborers employed in the logging and sawing plants of the Seaside Lumber Company, and of the claims of the Bank of Sea side for an indebtedness of approxi mately ISS.000. The bank is in the hands of Frank 8. Godfrey, as receiver. Ha is preparini TOP3 to brine suit to foreclose the mortgage it held at the time E. N. Henninger, cashier, committed suicide. The petitioners also ask that a con tract made between the Seaside Lum ber Company and Edward Joers and Howard Lalghton, assigning the entire sash and door output of the mills. It is averred that the assignment was made after other Indebtedness was con tracted and was for the purpose of giv ing Joers and Laighton an unwarrant ed preference in collecting money due them. In that respect it Is -declared fraudulent by the petitioners. Oklaltoma Legislature Called. GUTHRIE, Okla, Nov. .
