WHY JOHN oREYED HIS PAPA.

John was a little boy Z years old.
He lived in the city with his father
and mother and two little sisters.
1t was in the winter time and there
were many bobsleds going through the
town.
Johns father would have gotten him
sled for Christmas, but when he was
little boy he fell off his sled and hurt
himself, SO he wouldn't get Johnny
any. He had often told John never to
hop on bobsleds. But John had done 1t
several times and wasn't afraid to. He
disobeyed his father, but said he did
not care.
One day John got on bobsled and
fell off and hurt himself very badly
and he never hoped on a bobsied aft
er that until he was big enough.
From your little friend,

George and the
Whangdoodle

The Whangdoodle sat in front OF
his cave, with his claws crossed and
his bill neatly folded, and sighed
mournfully. He was very said, because
he had had no little boy for breakfast
for a long long time.
He was tired, too: for he had been
whirling around on the end of his tail
for nearly a week, and had only just
stopped. So his heart was heavy.
It was very quiet in the vicinity OF
the cave where the Whangdoodle
lived. The only sounds to be heard
were the angry chattering of the
mamma Hopscotch as she spanked her
little baby Hopscotches off to bed
down in the hollow of the big
spaghetti tree; and the low twitterins
of the Two-headed F1im-Flam, as he
scratched gravel on the banks of the
gently flowing Observation-Disclosures.
The peaceful quiet of the scene
soothed the Whangdoodle, and he clos
ed two Of his eyes sleeDily.
Presently the mamma Hopscotch
finished spanking her babies off TO
bed, and ceased her chattering; then
the Whangdoodle closed two more OF
his eyes.
Inla little while the Two-headed
Flin-Flam stopped scratching gravel
and went to roost on a nice, smooth
stone, down at the bottom of the
Observation-Disclosures.
Then it was very still indeed; and
the 'Whangdoodle shut all the rest OF
his eyes and went to sleep.
A faint sound broke the stiffness
It was a good way off, but it continued
with monotonous regularity, and ii
drew steadily nearer.
The Whangdoodle slowly opened
ing to wake up.
The sound came nearer.
The Whangdoodle opened two moro
of his eyes and listened intently.
The noise came ouier near. ana
sounded very much like footsteps.
The Whangdoodle opened all his
eyes and sat uD very straight; for he
felt almost sure that it a little boy.
The next minute Georgie came int2
sight, tramping along sturdily in his
little blue sweater, his cap on the back
of his head.
The Whangdoodle unfolded his bill
and stretched out his claws.
''G-r-r-r-r-r-r!'' he said.
George stopped and looked at him
In surprise.
Fire commenced to flash from two OF
the Whangdoodle's eyes.
Il am glad to see you, Little Boy,
he said. You look fat and tender
and / am very hungry" Fire com
menced to flash from two more of his
eyes, and he crawled forward
George stepped back and regarded
him critically. why, your feet are
all splayed out" he said and thcres
webs between your toes!"
Then the Whansdoodle flashed fire.
from all of his eyes, and reached out
his terrible talons. Tn going to eat
you!" he Kissed; 81 m going to i az
you with my taloLs! I'm going &c
swallow YOU whole"
"Scat!' said Georgia disgustedly
you ugly old thing! you've got
more eyes than a potato!"
The Whangdoodle could hardly be
1ieve his ears. aren't you almost
scared to death?" he exclaimed. why
don't you run? Don't you know I'm
going to eat you up"
And he blew smoke out of his nos
SriIs, and green flames came out OF

RELENTLESS PURSUIT
 0f THE SUGAR TRUST
The Government Prosecution Under the
 Sherman Law.

New York. March 3.-Not satisfied with the millions received in the pay ment of the duty evaded by short weights, the indictment of Charles Heike. the cOmpany's secretary, and the conviction of minor employees. the government is still fighting hard to convict the American Sugar Refining company under the antitrust law.
 Such action was contemplated when the company put the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company out of busi- ness but d settlement out of court and the interference of the statute of limitations necessitated anoher legal tack. and the matter was laid before the federal grand jury early in Janu- ary
 Not until today. however. did the scope of the inquiry become public. when the grand jury handed up d pre- sentiment for contempt against the company for the latter's failure to produce certain books and papers in response to subpoena.
 The presentment was not only a move by the government to ascertain it's rights to the books in question, but it incidentally disclosed the nature of the papers demanded, and Afforded d key to the scope of the government procedure. The subpoena demands the production of all agreements and other instruments. made by or to the American Sugar Refining company or any officer thereof wthany other per- sons or corporations in relation to the purchase by the said company of stock in forty-four company"
 The latter. it is alleged. include vari- ous California and Utah beet sugar concerns

"Mf CINDERELLA GIRL"

Coming direct from it's remarka- ble long run of twenty eight weeks at the Whitney Opera House, Chi cago, where it has played to exeep- t!onally large business, My Cinder- ella Girl,' will begin an engagement of one night Friday, Dec. 9 William Norris in his long and successful ca reer has originated many famous roles, such as King Dodo, The Burgomaster,' Alan in Babes in Toy land,' and The Land of Nod, etc., but in his long experience he has never found character more suit able to his artistic tastes than Tom Harrington, the Captain of the Si- wash College baseball nine, as play ed by him in My Cinderella Girl.'
 The star and comedy proved to be one of the successful entertain- ing meteors that fall with resound- ing thud at long intervals. Opening in Oh cago, unheralded for short stay before the end of the first week the theater going public was quick to recognize the fact that bright breezy and really entertaining musi- cal success had fallen in their midst. and was there to stay The public flocked to the Whitney opera house with it's purse strings open. and so great was the demand for seats that what was originally intended for a four weeks engagement was length ened into summer season of twen- weight weeks, and many times the entire house was sold out for six weeks in advance.
 The play is one of the efferve- scent pop and go kind, full to the brfm with hearty laughter, and here and there dropped, like raisns ir a plum pudding, are sweet tuneful catchy airs, sung by pretty girls that give to the auditor just breath. ing time for a new burst of nonsen. seal frivOlity.
