lllllllllllllh. lllilllllillllllllildillililiillallll, 1. T H E 0 R A C' L E ' great relief. At any rate I decided to watch his proceedings when the day came. The day rolled around at last. My friend went to town bright and early in his Ford. l followed right along on my one-lunged motorcycle. The town was in an uproar. lt seemed that during the night a band of men had scoured the surrounding country and had driven off all the cows and hogs. They were having a big slaughter and were packing the meat away for winter. Our neighbor recognized one of his cows and trled to recover the meat. but Mr. Townsman knocked him on the head and he lay quiet for about fifteen minutes. lYhen he had risen and was brushing the dirt from his clothes he was knocked down and run over by a drunk man driving a lford. This time my friend lay longer and l had some time ltr look around. liveryone who owed the storekeeper a grudge was breaking out the glass or carrying out goods. Une merchant was taking a shot at all who were not customers. The theaters and other places of amusement were closed and well guarded. By this time my friend was on his feet again and had started for the sidewalk when he was narrowly missed by a speeding auto which killed a man and a little boy who were just ahead of him, l imagined that by this time my friend was thinking some of going home. but he went into a boot- legging establishment to bolster up his spirits. He ordered something and while waiting for it saw another man drink some and fall dead. That was enough. My neighbor decided that he did not want anything. He w as now sick and tired of freedom and was ready to go home. He looked for his machine and found that some one had driven it ol-li the bridge into the river. l could not land my motorcycle anywhere so we walked home together. On the way we passed groups of Fighting men and any number of them were stretched out in the gutter. Xow and then sivlllc one got shot. Altogether we were lucky to get home alive. :X sicker man than my friend you never saw in all your life. He had enough and I have never since heard him complain of unjust laws. Now whenever we think that some law is unjust or benefits some special set of people, let us stop and think what this country would be without laws. Every law that we have has a good reason for being on the statute books. Alton Troxel THIRTY-FIVE
