PRETTY FABLE OF MATCHES
Tale Written for Children by Canadian
Involves Rat, Mouse and
Beetle.

Cleveland, o., Feb 21.-The following
fable for children is condensed by
Ohio's fire marshal from one for which
the British Fire Prevention committee
recently awarded a prize to Mr.. Ben
cough, a Canadian.

made friends with a little mouse, a
three came to the cupboard every day
OF search for food and sometimes
they all gathered together to tell each
other stories or to chat. Their talk
was almost always about children.
One day when they were all met
together, the biggest match in the box
spoke out his mind.

them"
OH exclaimed the mouse, the rat
and the beetle. "Oh, what a bad thing
to say!" And they all trod upon one
anOther's toes as they shrank to the
back of the shelves, trying to get as
far as possible from that wicked match.
But exclaimed Master Rat, " why
do you hate children? Children are
very nice when they are good"
That's just it," exclaimed the big
match; when are they good? Are
they good when they make playthings
of us? Are they good when they
rub our heads against the wall just
to make us blaze up and rage? No,
no: it is because children are bad and
disobedient that we hate them. If
they interfered with you as they do
with us, you would hate them too
Master Rat, have children ever rubbed
your head against the WALTZ"
Il should just like to see them"
replied the rat Indignantly. "They
run away screaming when I'm about!
Not that there is any reason for
them to be much afraid! I should
never touch them if they let me
alone"

together, eff they let you alonei

may Pose IN NIGHT GOWN
British Judges Say It's All Right for
Actresses in This DecolIette

LONDON, Feb. 21.-London actress
es are in a terrible state of consterna-
ton over Justice Darling's decision in
an action for libel brought by gaiety
actress. Gertie Miller, against Dunn &
Co., publishers of pictorial post cards.
The decision simply means that any
photographer can lop off the head of an
actress, stick it on any sort of a body
and sell the photograph to the public.
This photograph post card craze has
reached enormous dimensions in this
country, photographs of pretty actress
les being much more in demand than
pictures of places of interest. Edna
May and Camille Clifford when they
last returned to London from the Unit
ed States, We're amazed to see from the
shop windows to what tremendous ex-
tent the craze had reached.
Seks Protection of Law.
Miss Clifford seeing a prospective
legal advice to protect herself against
possible trouble
There is no complaint against a 1egi-
innate deal by which an actress gets
ia Dig fee from the photographer to have
exclusive sittings from her.
Dunn & Co., We're publishing faxed
photographs showing Gertie Miller in
Ia night gown and also scantilly clad
creeping from an egg shell. The face
was an accurate representation of her
own, but the body was that of another.
She asserted that such photographs
held her up to ridicule and allowed
people to imagine that she had allowed
herself to be photographed in such a
ridiculous position, and with so little
on.
The judge held that this was a decor
lette age and that there was nothing to
complain about in the photographs and
the jury gave a verdict for Dunn & Co.
Actresses Make Protest.
This has raised an awful storm Of
protest from pretty actresses. Edna
May is very much frightened. not
knowing to what lengths the Outrag-
eOus photographs may be carried. She
has not only been caricatured emerg-
ing from egg shells. but once she was
represented as sitting on a rock by
the sea, pulling on her stockings. 1t
was her head that had been used. but
another girl lent herself for the body
of the photograph. AS she says. there
is nothing to prevent an actress head
being stuck on the statue of the Venus
de Milo.
Other actresses are up in arms and
the proposal is made that they form a
combination to protect themselves
against indecent outrages.
Gertie Millers husband, a we'll known
musical composer, Lionel Moncton, is
very angry and no surprise will be felt
if an appeal is entered against the yer
dict on the ground of the judges mis-
direction of the jury.

ably was not a murderer; he was not
an adulterer; he was not an eXtortion-
err: but had simply lived a life of self
ease; had ignored his obligations to his
fellowman and had got into a condition
that made repentance impossible. The
same self love followed him into the
world beyond. He could think of moth

Lazarus to assuage it. He found re-

had gone, he was lost.

BOMB SET FOR STREET CAR.
Dynamite Found in Switch Frog i
Portland, Ore.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 21.-An at
tempt to blow up an Albina avenue
electric car was discovered when a
motorman slowing his car up to take
a switch noticed a stick of dynamite
four inches long and capped at both
ends in the switch frog. The approach
of the car had shaken the explosive
too deep in the frog for the wheels
to hit it, and thus an explosion and
probable loss of life was averted.
