many waga ana practical iOkers. Bsr-
ME never gets huny when the joke il
on him.
There has been only one occasion
since Bernie vent on the road that
he misbehaved himself 10 any great
degree, and that was when We we're
playing In Cuba 4 couple Of yeara
ago. Az You may know, the Cuban
cafes and saloons are usually run In
conjunction with each other. and
where the food is there Is also bottled
goods. In Cuba, as elsewhere, we
gave Bernie good deal OF liberty,
and once or twice he was taken 10
dinner with some member OF the
company. who would make the bear
stand outside the door and feed him
there.
As is shown ID the performance eY-
cry day, Bernie Is fond Of sugar ana
water. which he drinks out OF a bot
tie, and not having had an extensive
acquaintance with other bottled beY-
erages than that given him in the
show, he has not had much of an OPP
portunity to learn to be discerning.
Well, after standing outside Of the
cafe once or twice, Bernie noticed
that there were bottles OF enticlng
appearance on the shelves Or the
cafe where he was taken, and he inn
mediately began to speculate on the
chances OF getting hold OF one.
He was too wise to make any in
yestigation with a member or the
company along, for he realized that
any intrusion into the cafe on his
part would be punished. So he prac-
ticed cunning and waited. One morn
ing when he was loafing around the
big tent he noted that there was no
one watching him and slipped out.
Pretty soon we heard terrible rack
ct across the street, and on investi-
eating, found score Of frightened
Cubans in the road in front OF the
cafe, possession OF which was held By
Bernie. ] ran into the cafe, but was
not In time. Bernie had extracted
corks from two large bottles OF wine
and downed their contents in a gulp
apiece. Then he had started 70 make
a meal, and was nosing around when
/ reached the place. j called to him
and out ne came, but not at his us
ual gait. No, he was staggering and
Keeling like a drunken. sailor, and as
he reached the sidewalk, down he
went in a heap. We dragged him to
the tent with considerable difficulty
and he missed both performances
that day. The next day he had
terrible head, and 1t was comical to
note the ashamed look about him.
Talk about r-e-m-o-r-s-e; well, he
had 1t.
Bernie never acquired another jag
and for some time after he was care
full to smell the contents of any bot
tie that he thought of drinking. His
first experience in that line made
him a strong advocate of the water
wagon. / doubt IL there is strong
err advocate of the white ribbon in
the bruin family than Bernie.

1t would seem now that the city
council will hold up the Spokane,
Wallace & Interstate Railway COM
pany franchise which passed that
body and became an ordinance four
weeks ago last night. An ordinance
to repeal the former ordinance is now
before the council and has had its
first reading. While it is meeting
with some strong opposition by some
members of the council, 1t looks very
much as though it would carry at
the meeting this evening.
