In those days, Kathleen lived on a farm in Alcona county, Mich., with her mother and dad, and her five brothers and sisters. It was pretty wild country up there then. umpire fore a fielder has a chance to field it the batter gets a hit? Are you really telling me the truth? Thats the rule? It is? You mean it? The qmpire was right? Well, that beats anything I ever heard. Youre sure thats the rule? The reason I want to be sure is because I threw some of those pop bottles at the umpire and I aint gonna start being 'sorry unless I have to. Youre sure thats in the rules? Kansas City Star. In North Algeria, North Africa, there is an Arabic speaking tribe called the Kabyles, who are said tot- be the purest white race in - Africa. Yet they are almost totally uncivilized, live in primitive fashion, . and worship heathen gods. Missionaries have established mission stations to try to civilize and Christianize them. This tribe is only one of several uncivilized white groups still to be found in the world. It is a curious trait in human nature that we will take off our hats when a woman enters an elevator, and be most apologetic if we bump into somebody inadvertently; but the instant we get our hands on a steering wheel we damn all mankind-wo- man and man alike. Too often, we are inclined to look upon traffic guides and regulations as irritating restrictions designed primarily to keep us from having a good time, when the truth of the matter is, they have been devised solely for our convenience and comfort. s Hunters Shunned Desolate Forest. There were thousands and thousands of acres of forest, Kathleen says, where even the most daring hunters never camped. Settlers were few and far between. On the borders of this wild tract were just ' a few settlers, living along a road that was fairly passable. Kathleen says that winter hung on until an unusually late date in the year 1888. The cattle in the neighborhood were on short rations, and the wild life in the woods was beginning to feel the pinch of hunger. It was not an uncommon occurrence, on those long cold nights, to hear timber wolves howling, calling com-- rades to join in a raid on some farmers barnyard. The nearest neighbors lived five miles away, and there wasnt much visiting between families. But one Sunday morning, 'in March, a family came over to Kathleens- home to spend the day, bringing their own little girl with them. They had walked the whole distance in the morning, before the sun began to melt the snow, and intended to remain until evening when the muddy road would freeze again, and walk home by moonlight. Horses were scarce in Michigan in those days, but Kathleens dad ' had just bought a fine, young team. . tant part she played in his Aided Anatole France Invented Hot Dog writ- Mme.

Stevens gave the credit for the introduction of the term, hot dog, to the late T. A. Dorgan (Tad), noted sports cartoonist. The name was probably suggested by the popular belief that wienies were made of dog meat. - Kathleens Dad Suggested a Sleigh Ride. They were splendid for driving as well, as on the plow, Kathleen says, and my father suggested that if our guests would remain until about 9 oclock, when the mud and slush on the road would be well frozen, he would drive them hoitie and we children could have a sleigh ride. Well, sir, that plan was agreed upon. When night came, they started out, dad and the neighbors on the seat and the kids burrowing into the straw pile in the back of the sleigh. After ride they reached the friends house, stopped for a cup of hot milk, and then started for home again. The kids were enjoying the ride. The moon was bright and the sleigh slid easily over the frozen road. .They had covered about a mile of the distance when, away to the south, they heard the long, piercing an-hour- s FlRESTONE does it again gives you lower cost and higher quality in a tire that is tops in the Firestone Convoy.

A wolf is afraid of fire, and they knew if they reached that blaze alive, theyd have a chance. As they came closer to home, they could see Mother standing near the fire.

Closer and closer they came to the blaze. And still the wolves gained on them. As the sleigh turned into the yard and pulled up beside the fire, Mother threw one of the rifles to Dad. And together, firing shot after shot, they held the pack at bay. Kathleen says there must have been. at least 30 wolves in the pack. They circled around the big fire,' snarling and snapping, while Mother and Dad blazed away with the guns. When nine had been shot down, the pack broke and scattered. And the next morning two more were found dead a short distance away. When the wolves were gone, the horses were cared for. Says Kathleen: There was a look of wonderful thankfulness on my mothers face as we gathered around the kitchen fire, but all she said was, Children your prayers. And then to bed. But I wonder if any one of those kids did any sleeping? How about J SAVE MONEY TOO 2 A Race for Life With Hungry Wolves. My sister covered my brother and me with straw and told us to lie flat under the seats. The horses seemed to understand our terrible danger and fairly flew over the road. From the first alarm, there was no need to urge them. I had seen the flash of fire from their feet when they bounded forward. When we were about two miles from home we could see dark shapes on the long straight road a scant half mile behind us. The kids huddled on the straw in the back of the wagon. None of them spoke until Mary, Kathleens older sister, put her head down and whispered: When I jump dont tell father. Let him keep right on.. Kathleen stared at her sister. She was going to sacrifice herself to delay those wolves for a few moments. Kathleen caught Mary and clung to her. Her brother told Mary he would certainly scream if she jumped. 1 And meanwhile the wolves were gaining! , , The horses were doing their best, but they had a heavy sleigh to haul, and the wolves were running free. They were less' than a quarter of a mile behind now, and the sleigh was a mile from home. ' Mother Was Handy With Shooting Iron. ' ' The sleigh creaked as it lurched along the road. They were almost in sight of home when they heard the report of a rifle. Then, they heard a second shot. Thus, they knew that their mother, at home, had heard those terrible howls and was ready to help them. g, For greater power and longer life, changeover today to a Firestone Extra Power Allrubber Separator Battery the battery that will start your car up to 35 quicker.
