JOHN TWEEZER AND
“OLD SPOT” HAVE A TIME;
By John Tweezer
Philosophers, physicians and theol
. ogians have tri^d to explain why cer
tain persons are criminals and others'
not. Some claim that criminals were
the product of their environment, he
was a victim of society. Still others
contend criminality as a product of
disease.
Now if these eminent doodads had
ever had a full-grown case of thirst
they could have arrived at a verdict
without leaving the jury box.
A man may be of so saintly or so
public spirited disposition that in fact
he never transgresses, but this shows
only that the peculiar temptation to
which he is most liable has not as
sailed him with sufficient force tj
make him jar loose.
Every man has his breaking strain
and will give way under stress if the
stress is sufficiently powerful and of
the right kind. A most powerful and
alluring temptation got a hold of us
last week and dragged up about in
search of something to quiet our
thirst.
We have no control over our thirst,
as it is of age, so we were dragged
about over the vicinity until we found
an old battered goat who had the ear
marks of a criminalfi when we ap
proached him he ducked for a thicket.
But we smoked him out, and wl&n we
cornered him with the distress sign,
he grinned like a person convicted of
a felony. •
He was one of those old middle of
and the ways of Uncle Sanj. He told
us for a small contribution, he would
lead us out of the wilderness, and
show us the promised land.
We told him to crank up and start.
We followed that old goat until the
mocn went down. He led us through
creeks, briar patches, and over fences.
We stayed with him until our hoofs
were cracked. Finally he took us to
a hay barn, where we were held up
and relieved of what information we
had concerning ourselves. Then we
were told that we must remove our
shoes before we could enter the
sacred confines of the loft.
We told the proprietor that our
shoes were already off; that we didn’t
have enough shoes on our feet to
convict a profiteer. All that we had
left of a twelve dollar cut, was a pair
of strings dangling around our ankles.
Then we wei’e told to proceed with
caution up a ladder that lad to the
hay loft.
When we entered the loft a delicate
odor of horse met our nostrils, and
permeated the scene .and wrapped it
self around us. Then from the light
of a smoky lantern that swung from
the rafters we saw scattered over the
loft, lawn mowers, ex-baby carriages,
defunct bottles of every description,
and the rfemains of late lamented bed
springs.
While we were pondering over the
scene, we heard some one knock for
admittance. Then we saw an old
gobbler enter with a fishing pole and
line. He looked over the premises for
a fe wseconds; then he pulled from
his trousers pocket a roll of bait, and
wadded it on his hook. Then he cau
tiously slipped to hay chufe and
dropped it down. Presently he pulled
up a package that looked “fishey,”
and stuck it carefully away in his coat
pocket and departed as silently as he
came. Several others came and
caught their pockets full of fish, and
there I sat, without hook or line, and
fish biting to beat the band.
I knew it would never do to go
home without a fish so I raked around

over the loft until I found a baling J.
wire. Then I shaped a hook on the .
end of it and rolled a fine spotter
around it. Then I poked it down the
hay chute, and waited for a bite.
Presently something grabbed my
hook like a shark. I sat steady in the
boat and let him get a good hold.
Then I gently raised my fish to, where
I could see him. He was a beaut,
about a five pounder. Then I got ex
i cited and reached out too far to grab
! him, which caused me to lose my
j balance, and down I went to the bot
!j tom of the fishing hole.
The first intimation I had of ap
proaching the bottom of the chute
j wrs the tinkling of a cow bell, then
: of a sudden there was a great up
heaval and I cqme up astride of a big
! spotted cow. She raised her tail high
in the air, and without any prelimin
aries went out through the barn door,
without even waiting for it to be
opened. I held on to her back like I
had a season ticket. She made sev
eral rounds of the barn lot before she
■ got her bearings. Then over the fence
j she went and struck for the tall
timber.
We climbed'fences and trees for a
couple of hours, and as my ears)
scraped the brnaches of the tall trees,
I could hear a ringing sound like the
hum of a circular saw when it leaves
a seasoned oak plank.
It seemed that old Spot had an in
tense longing to go higher all the
time. While we were up above the
tree tops, visions of a lonely grave in
the cemetery over which daisies grew
flitted before my mind. Then I
thought of how I would look in a box
banked with fluwers used in such
cases. ’ I also found the atmosphere
chilly, which gave me cold feet. So
when we came down close to earth, I
selected a soft landing place and when
the opportune moment arrived, I and
old Spot parted company without any
protest.
The doctor has plastered up what
few features I have left and thinks
probably I may be at home to my
friends in a week or so.""

YOU see the Staggard Studs of Republic
Tires everywhere. Everyone remembers
and recognizes them.
But not everyone realizes how evenly and
slowly they wear; and how much this means
in the longer life of Republic Tires.
Republic Tires register wear, of course. But
even after several thousand miles they show a
total absence of the cuts and chips and
abrasions commonly inflicted on ordinary tires.
This absence testifies to the wonderful tough*
ness imparted to the rubber by the Prodiuxn
Process. This rubber resists wear and ruinous
damage to the utmost.
Republic Tires do last longer.

PRODUCER SHOULD GET $80
PER TON FOR COTTON SEED
Little Rock, Oct. 7.—George L.
Sands, president of the State Farmers
Union, has issued an address to the
cotton growers of the state in which
he says that the producer should be
getting $80 a ton for his cotton seed.
He says, “I believe it is wrong to
figure from the top down, and when
the producer is reached leave him out
of the consideration.”
