Once an ville cemetery and well known in oxen failed to come in for the day's this city, this week related one of activities and an older boy was sent the most thrilling experiences any to look for the animal. The brief boy of tender age could boast. search failed and another son was Cody, whose father was first cousin dispatched—with the same result. of the famous “Buffalo Bill” Cody, Mr. Cody directed Barney, then less lived in Washington among the than 10 years of age, to carry on the hunt for the tardy beast of burden. Young Cody struck for the hills where he had known the stray to wander. After tramping through MEDFORD. OREGON accustomed haunts Barney struck off up a road leading higher and Friday. Saturday.

It seems this friend liked to carry tales and men tioned to the man from the back- woods that a certain general, who was supposed to lx? with his forces, was in New York City drunk. Abraham Lincoln, eyeing the man. told him of a previous ex perience. Said the cabinet chief; “One morning as I was going to my office I came upon a small col ored boy who had a coon tied with a string. The young fellow was bareheaded and barefooted Scratches were bleeding and marks indicated the coon had put up quite a fight. I said 'I see you have a pet coon.’ The little ckirky replied, in a guarded tone, ‘Sn-h. The coon is chewing his rope and I am going to let him g<t away.’ Well, my friend, the general is chewing his rope.” And with this Mr. Lincoln was on his way. SECRETARY STIMSON OVERRIDES THE SENATE On the floor of the United States senate, and at the polls, the Ameri can people have said that they want nothing to do with the League of Nations, yet Secretary of State Stimson, by executive action, dis regarded and overrode this delib erately expressed mandate of the nation and aroused Japan's resent ment by sending to Geneva an “unofficial observer” to cooperate with the league in its actions in respect to the Chinese-Japanese troubles in Manchuria. Uncle Sam has trouble, and only trouble, to expect from entaglements of this kind. The United States has ab solutely no right to have a repre sentative at the table of the council of the League of Nations until the United States senate has given its consent. The position is well taken that if the United States is to join with the League of Nations in giv ing orders to Japan to keep out of Manchuria, it may not be long be fore Japan and the League of Na tions will be giving orders to the United States to keep out of Hayti CLASSIFIED W.

And, as an added thrill several years later, Barney Cody had the pleasure of meeting Reelfoot face to face in Portland—after the cin namon montser had been stuffed and started on its way to the world's fair at Chicago.
