A California Dog Hero.

From California comes a tale of
heroic rescue by dog. During for
est fire which ragged along the border
between Yuba and Butte counties,
Bruno, a Great Dane dog, fought his
way through the flames bearing n his
jaws the living body of 3-year-old Flor
ence Rogers. The parents of the child,
when the alarm of fire was given, has
tened to assist neighbors, leaving lit
tie Florence on the kitchen floor.
When the wind shifted Rogers and his
wife rushed for their home, but when
they reached the clearing it was TO
see the barn in blaze. Rogers tried
to get to the house, but was restrained.
just then Bruno burst through the
kitchen window with the child, her
garments knotted in his teeth. The
baby's clothes gave way as the dog
landed, but in an instant he had her
again in grip and reached safety. The
child's face and hands were cut and
burned, but she recovered.

HOMEMADE THEATER.
with This Boys and Girls Can Have
More Fun Than with Any other
Continuance.

Lots and lots of our readers delight
in playing theater. Here is an OPP
portunity to build one at no cost, as
everything needed can be found
around the house.
Take a large wooden soap box and,
after removing the cover, take a
crosscut saw and saw through the
bottom of the box about 9h inches
carefully and fit it inside of the box,
at right angles to the sawed front,
to form the floor of the stage. Cut
ont the end which is now the top of
your toy theater, leaving but a strip
along the front
Take a strip of this removed piece
and tack it to the front of the box,
a little bit below the level of the
Stage.
The next thing is the curtain. Hunt
around until you find an old shade
roller, some Irvine and a piece of red
or green cloth. Cut the roller the eX-
act width of the box. Then cut the
Will show on each side, tack one end
to the top of the box. Wind >the
Irvine around the ends of the roller,
leading the Irvine from each end up
and over smooth tacks driven into
the top of the theater. These lines
should be operated from one side and
serve to pull the curtain up and
down.
Now comes the making of the foot
lights and proscenium. Paste draw
ing paper on stiff cardboard and get
father or mother to follow the de-
sign in the drawing or carry out
their own ideas, using a soft pencil
for the outlines and filling in the
pattern with water colors or crayon.
