MAX AND THE THUNDER
SHOWER.

Max was little yellow canary,
which was given to Margary when
she was 10.
He soon learned to know his lit
tie mistress and love her, for she
was very kind and gentle and new
er frightened him by coming too
close to his cage at first. You see,
canary birds are very delicate
and often if they are frightened by
strangers they will die.
After few weeks Max and Mar
gary were such friends that Max
would come out of his cage and
perch on Margary's finger, and let
her pat, very softly, his yellow
wings. And then he would play
hide-and-seek with her, and that
was lots of fun. This was the way
they did it: Max would fly over
on the mantel and hide behind a
vase or little picture, and Mar
gary would pretend to hunt and
hunt, and finally she would find
him-then Max would fly out and
hide behind another vase.
One hot summer day Max was
playing hide-and-seek when a
thunder storm came up. 1t fright
ened Margary, and so you can see
how it would brighten a tiny bird.
Max flew off the mantel with a
funny little cry like this: "Peep,"
and Margary could not find him.
The room got very dark, and Mar
gary and the grown folks were
afraid to move for fear they
would step on Max.
By and by the storm passed
over, and then how everybody
for him. He wasn't on the
mantel nor in his cage--nor any
they could see. Poor
little Margary was so worried that
she got down on her hands and
knees and hunted under every
chair and table in the room. But
she could not find him.
The last place she examined was
the music cabinet. She showed her
hand very carefully under 1t and
way back in the far corner she
found something soft and warm
that quivered when she touched 1t.
1t was dear little Max.
Margary drew him out without

Sir-Among other issues of a
debatable nature which are
brought before the people of a
country, is one which stands pre-
eminentIy before others, namely,
the protection of mine workers in
the coal industry. 1t is not the
best of policy to lend aid to every
class of political agitation, but in
this particular cause, by reason of
the horrible death roll, which is
published, there is need of drastic
action. To permit such happen

casual comment, without laying
bare the facts, and establishing on
such findings a system of we'll

short of murder.

THE JAP PROBLEM.
Tacoma, Feb.
Editor Tacoma Times:


Editor Tacoma Times:
There seems to be some excite
ment and difference of opinion
between the U. s. government and
the state of California In regards
to California's legislation on the
Japanese question. Now there is
one way. In my opinion, that the
question may be settled without
any friction on either side of the
Pacific ocean, and that Is for the
state legislature to make mini
mum scale of wages for all such
occupations that Japs are EN-
ployed at. BY making such a
scale of wages high enough no one
would employ Japs. and as a re-
suit the Japs would have to go.
