Y' Now the Army is asking the people of America to give it concrete evidence b* of the gratitude which has been so th loudly, and so willingly expressed, to From May 19 to 26 the Salvation Army C; - will conduct in the Fnited States a tampaign to raise $13,0()0.000 for its T Home Service Fund. The money is sc needed both to recoup the fortunes of 0f the Army, shattered by its long service of the soldier and to permit it to carry on the work it has always done on the i11 \ - larger scale, which the public now is demands. Raising the money by this ?< means, the Salvation Army explains, b( will eliminate, perhaps permanently, h< the necessity for the ceaseless solidta- C( ? t:on of funds which has been a bug- is bear to the Army and the public alike.

COULDN'T EAT PETi i Children Balked at Idea if Ma!<- j ing Meal of "Jerry." I _ i Outspoken Revolt at Dinner Table Ra- | suited in Neighbors Having Poetic ! Revenge and Enjoying Dainty Dish of Roast Pig. i . j A well-known physician In town has j a family of small children who are I crazy ahout animals, and every stray ; do? or cat is always sure of a pood j home if they happen to wander near J the doctor's spacious residence. In- ! doed, the doctor calls his home the J "Zoo Annex," for it harbors not only j dogs and cats galore, but throe can a- j ries, two white mice. five pigeons, one j conversational and profane parrot and ; a brown squirrel, soj an animal or two , more doesn't count; Somebody gave the children a baby i pis, a nice little pink-and-white pig j with funny little squinty eyes and a cute little curl to its tail. The children were wild with joy over i their new pet, and installed it in the | laundry, but evidently the little pig { dydn't adapt himself to his surround- I fngs, and persisted in staying up late nights and giving voice to such lugu* j brious lamentations thai tlie doctor ! christened him "Jeremiah." This name ! was too lonsr for the ohiUlren to man- j age, so they called him Jerry ana lovea him to death Jerry grew so fat he could hardly waddle, but he was great fun and frolicked with the youngsters and had a grand time, and even his squeal had a joyous note in it by day, but once night fell Jerry seemed to grow so low in his mind that he refused to be comforted, and his tones were as shrill and piercing as a banshee's. He gre-v so big that he looKeo use a young mountain lion in the arms of the children, and occasionally he would escape to the front of the house and waddling up the steps, would lie down and drop into slumber, so t]iat visiting patients had to fall over or step over the reclining Jerry. Then to add to the general discomfort his squeals grew deeper, like unto the vocal efforts of a hasso prof undo, so the doctor, losin*]: all patience, declared that Jerry must pass oi, and pass out. So one day when his children were in scliool Jerry took his first automobile ride, ending up at the butcher's, who had orders to return Jerry right side up with care, ready for the oven and the Sunday dinner. The children, in ignorance of this foul deed, searched high and low for the missing pig, but he couldn't be found, and after weeping violently for the first day, grew resigned to their loss,, after the manner of children, and seemed to forget him. Sunday came and tlie family assembled at the dinner table. Norah, the cook, came in, bearing aloft the plump form of Jerry roasted to a turn, with his tail turned in a sancy ringlet and an apple in his mouth. There was a moment of absolute silence, fraught with significance for the doctor and his wife, then one of their eagle-eyed youngsters shrieked: "It's our Jerry," and set up a dismal howl which the rest soon joined and fixing their guilty parents with uncompromising looks demanded to know why their beloved pig was being served up as .a burnt offering. They were aided and abetted by Norah, the cook, who, wiping a furtive tear from her eye with the corner of her apron, muttered: "Shure, 'tis mesilf thinks it a sin to murder the baste." Not one mouthful of the martyred Jerry would any of the mourning youngsters take, and the parents suddenly lost all desire for roast pig and decided that the late Charles Lamb's dissertation of that delicacy was all wrong. Jerry, the baked, was removed without delay and sent to a neighbor's, who took a poetic revenge in eating the animal that had squealed them into insomnia for weeks past.?Buffalo Courier. ______________ A Delayed Funeral. (Zanrrro T Kirn* known bv every man. woman and child in Brown county and by all visitors who go to Nashville by way of Helmsburg, has been the stage coach driver between Nashville and Helmsburg and the hearse driver for Nashville's only undertaking establishment for ten years. i Recently there was to be a burial at the Story cemetery, twelve miles south of Nashville, and King was called on to drive the hearse. He hitched two horses to the hearse and started from Nashville at 5 a. m.
