6tVfT7XlV T. Paer remarked as he
VV laid the late election returns to
one aide and Duffed contentedlv on his
pipe. "I -wonder what them banker
think about us common people now?
"Probably." Ma remarked easily,
"they a,ln't seen nothing to chance their
minds much."
"Maybe not," T., Paer answered, "but
we ain't such blamed fools as we look
. when it comes to puttin our votes in
the box."
"I don't know whether you ain't or
not." Ma remarked, -' I don't want to
serve on no Jury 'nd I ain't coin' to."
"They ain't much danger," T. Paer
grinned. "Any lawyer that'd ask you
. half a dosen questions would fire you
off If he was a good one." .
Why- would her Ma asked bridling.
"If I ain't got more sense than some
jurors I've seen. Tuord help the Jury
v system."
1 "I know you're awful smart." T. Paer
admitted, "but, he added, "you're so
blamed contrary you'd hang up the
other- 11 lust out of habit."
I ain't contrary when the other fel
lah's right." Ma responded, "but I don't
aim to have anything shoved down my
throat just because somebody else wants
, It."
"But ay."' T. Paer chuckled, veering
away from a dangerous argument,
,, "didn't they wallop the city council on
that $200,000 bond business? I bet them
. fellahs're so hot they need a whole new
fire department to cool 'em off.' .
"I guess,'. Ma answered, "the people're
kind tired of pungling up every time the
commissioners want more money to
; spend."
"They're groin' to get the boys back
to normalcy," T. Paer grinned. "From
- now on if their shoes' re too little they'll
: have to trim their corns to fit 'era."
. That won't hurt anybody much unless
it's - the commissioners." Ma conceded,
"nd if they don't like it they can get
to be taxpayers again nd feel like the
rest of us."
"It 'seems to me." T. Paer continued,
"the people don't have a awful lot of
. love for the legislature any more. . They
take a wallop at it every chance they
get."
"I ain't thought of that," Mi answered.
"What makes you think so?"
"Why," T. Paer explained, 'look how
they swatted that amendment to give
"em a 60-day session 'nd pay 'em 95
day, 'nd then they turned around and
: took the election of Port of Port
land commissioners away . from 'em. If
somebodyd fix up a bill to make 'em
work for their board up at Salem ifd
be a landslide."- , t
'No it wouldn't" Ma corrected, I "not
if the people knew when they voted
how much board costs la Salem during
the legislature." ' .
... i .-: .. '
"They's something in that, T. Paer
admitted. "I guess I don't think so
much of the board stunt after all."
"I'd like to be at the next legislature."
Ma mused.. "I bet Gus Moser 'nd some
of the others'll have an awful time next
year." .
"Well. T. Paer-observed, "that'll be
fair enough. , They've been makln' the
rest of us have a awful time for a long
time, ain't they?" --!.;,..
"But, it'U be mighty : interesting to
watch 'em try to find some way to
get around the emergency clause veto."
'Oh, that'll be easy." T. Paer prophe
sied, "they'll just tack 'em on 'nd pass
the buck up to the' governor."
: "If they do.' the govemor'U veto what
ought to be vetoed 'nd that'll be all
they is to It," Ma contended., "Gov
ernors like to veto bills, anyway." --
"Maybe he will, if he's got the nerve
to tell the fellahs where to head In,"
T. Paer said. " 'nd." . he supplemented,
"if . the leg-ialature don't tret him in a
hole-'nd trade him out of his vetoa."
- "Im. awful glad they passed the bonus
bill." Ma stated; I think that's a fine
thing."
"Yep.' T. Paer said, "unless the boys
all take cash 'nd blow it in as soon
as they get it" . ! "
"Some of 'em may," Ma argued.! "but
I've got too; much confidence in the
boys to think they'll be that foolish."
"I hope so." T. :Paer said, "but I'm
goin' down 'nd buy me some ear . mufflers.-
, M : ' ...
"Ear mufflers !" Ma repeated. "What
on earth do you want them for?".
"When thia bonus gets to workin'.
T. Paer explained, "you'll have to ; wear
'em or the weddtn' bells'U make you
deaf." i , !
"I don't see why." Ma answered with
a puasled air. "What's the bonua got
to do -with weddiing bells?" I
"What's- a soldier boy coin' to borrow
money to build a home for if he ain't
goi anybody to keep house for htm?"
T. Paer demanded. " 'Nd," he added
as a clincher, 'how's he goin' to get a
housekeeper without ; weddin' bells r'

6TEL.L us about the Man who Btarted
1 the Red Terror on the Great
Mountain." begged' Bobby Coon of King
Eagle sitting on a branch of a tall.
: dead tree tiear the pond of Paddy the
Beaver. "Why did he do such a dread
ful thing? .Those two-legged creatures
: called Men . are the most awful crea
tures. They do the worst things. Kvery
fall - they hunt: me, when I haven't done
a . thing- to them.1 And, they seem- 16
think it is fun -to try to kill me." -
"Yes, and some of them' set traps,
and that is the most unfair thing I
know of,' spoke up Billy Mink.-;
t "Farmer Brown's Boy doesn't, and
he doesn't let anybody else do either
of those things if he can help it" spoke
up Chatterer the Bed Squirrel. "I don't
believe he would start the Red Terror.
Did that "Man do it . purposely. King
Kagle?" --.
"I don't think he did." replied King
Eagle, shaking his snowy-white head.
"But it is just as bad. I was. sailing
round and round way up In "the air
; above the Great Mountain. "- You know
I have very good eyes"-
"Wonderful eyes," interrupted Sammy
Jay. .. -
"And I saw a , Man way down near
the foot of the Great Mountain," con
tinued King Eagle. Just as if he hadn't
been Interrupted. "He was walking
along a little path. By and by he
stopped and put something in his mouth
and then he took a tiny stick and struck
the end of it on ai stone and the Red
Terror sprang up bn the end of that
tiny stick and he touched the thing in
his mouth with the Red Terror. Then
he threw the tiny stick downfin the path
and didn't once loiok to see where - It
fell. I guess he thought there was no
longer any Red Terror on the end of
that tiny stick, r .
. "But he didn't took to see. He didn't
even look to see where that tiny stick
feU. ,But I saw1 where it felt It fell
In some dry leaves. A few minutes
later I saw the breath of the Red
Terror rising - from . those leaves - and
then the ' Red Terror itself. It ate , up
those leaves and then jumped to the
leaves beside . the path. It ate faster
and faster and the faster it ate the
greater the Red Terror grew. It began
to climb the trees, and In a short time
it was racing up the side of the Great
Mountain as fast aa Lightfoot the Deer
can run. .
"It was then that the Man discov
ered It. I saw . him stop and look be
hind him. Then he began to run. and
he ran away from the Red Terror, al
though the Red Terror was not run
ning toward hint. He ran aa If he want
ed to get away from there without be
ing seen by other Men. I know, for I i
saw it all. looking down . from high up
"Tell us about the man who started
the Red Terror on the Great Moun
tain, begged Bobby Coon, i
In the sky. He didn't Set the Red Ter
ror free purposely. I know that too, for
I saw it. it was carelessness. And now
the whole beautiful side of my i Great
Mountain Is terrible to look at. All the
trees and the bushes and the vines, and
the plants that grew beneath them are
gone and so are many of the little peo
ple who lived there and could not get
away. And Man did this" thing 1" j King
Eagle's always fierce-looking eyes were
terrible to see. , -
"But other trees and bushes and vines
and plants will grow there again, will
they not?" asked Bobby Coon, hopefully.
"In some places where the Red Terror
passed hurriedly the trees and bushes
and vines may grow In time, but In
other places the Red . Terror has eaten
down into the very soli- and left In it
nothing for roots to feed on, and no tree
can ever grow there again," replied
King Eagle. -. "Though my years be
many. I will never see a big tree on
that side of the Great Mountain again.
nor will any one else now living. it la
a matter for great sadness." , He bowed
nia handsome white head- in sorrow.

You Save Mo
says the Good Judge
And get more genuine chew
ing satisfaction, when you use
this class of tobacco.
This is because, the full, rich,
real tobacco taste lasts so ;
long, you don't need a fresh , V'
chew nearly as often. .
And a small chew gives more
real satisfaction than a big chew
- of the ordinary kind ever did.
Any man who uses the Real
Tobacco Chew1 will tell you
that.
