-LIFE: An Indian’s Love For His Dog. COLONEL HOLD of the Fort Gibson Post, who sympathizes with everybody in Richard luck, printed this letter from Benge, a Cherokee, whose pack of trail hounds has often made music among the Fort Gibson : “Will you please let me have a small cpace in your paper? I won't write much. I t want to tell you old ‘Drum. my good old ‘ He died of I don't know what— he just got sick and died. Poor old Drum js dead and gone where all good dogs go. I jcc! sorter lonesome since old Drum died, for Ic only old Spot and Mues left. Old Drum was the best. When he barked, you knowed it }) was a ‘possum or acoon. Old Spot is all right, but he won't bark, just wags his tail." —Kansas City Journal, His Reason. ib little village there once lived a boy who vas supposed to be dull-witted, and the men of the village used to find great fun in offering him the choice between a threepennybit and a penny, of which he invariably chose the latter. ranger one day saw him choose the penny r than the threepennybit and asked him reason. “Is it because the penny is the the stranger asked. , not ‘cause it is the biggest. If I took threepennybit they'd gi’e o'er off'rin’ it.” Tatler SANDERSON’S “MOUNTAIN DEW” SCOTCH is a pot-still whisky. @ It is made in a pot still, a little at a time. @ It is distilled from the finest Highland malt dried over aromatic peats.

The Warner AutoMeter is your salvation. ‘And it's your ONLY salvation. Because the Warner Auto-Meter is the only speed indicator which is sen- sitive enough to be absolutely and unfailingly accurate at speeds under 410 miles an hour, Because it's the only one which works perfectly in all positions and at all angles, on rough roads or smooth, up bill or down, Because it's the only one which changes with the speed alone and in which the indicator does not dance back and forth from the jar of the car. ‘The Warner Auto-Meter is the only speed in- dicator which is actuated by the same fixed, un- Changeable Magnetism which makes the Mari Compass reliable FOREVER under all conditions. No one else can use Magnetism to determine the | speed of an Automobile, though it's the only post and sure way Because there is just one way in which Magnetism can successfully be used for this | purpose and we have Patented that way. - There is nothing about the Warner AutoMeter | which can give out, or wear out, or get out of adjus ment. It is the only speed-indicator made without cams, plates or levers, and in which there is no fric- tion.’ Fricti y the cams and levers in other speed indicators, which are necessarily so small that 2-/000 of an inch wear will throw out the read- ing from one to five miles per hour.
