Byana Tumbo the hunter who has
taken the championship belt from
Nimrod, had just concluded what,
according to schedule. was to be his
last lion-stalking expedition in Az
RIGA, and was returning to camp with
a score of natives carrying, slung on
poles across their shoulders, the tro-
piles of the chase, when they came
upon n scene which made even the
doughty ex-President, who STROBE at
the head of his party. draw back In
alarm.
Behind u tree stood a white man
lodging missiles thrown by a young
orang outang. which was likewise
using a large tree as a shield against
any possible demonstrations on the

Tumbo perplexed. Then, leaping with

landed upon the Simian and bore him
down TO the ground. In a twinhling

Cling pango with ropes.
The stranger stepped from behind
the tree and expressed mingled graft

the prowess of the huntsman ceased
however. when he learned that IL was
the great Bwana Tumbo himself who
had come to the rescue so oppor-
timely.

funny, jeering things that before
long the little green fir tree found
himself forgetting the daisies and
laughing again.
Summer went and autumn came,
aud the little green fir saw the
sturdy oak trees and naples lose
their garments of green. They stood
out against the November sky like
bleak sentinels, with branches that
tossed, cold and helpless, in the chill
winds.
"LoolS at me-" laughed the little
green fir tree, my coat is warm and
snug. Let the wind blow. 1t cannot

But the old mother tree said:
"Wait and see
She had lived many, many years,
had the mother tree, until life had
become wearisome.
Some day" she told the little
green fir, "a big storm will blow
me down, and ] can go to sleep in
the lap of mother earth. Life is
too long and too sad"
But the little green fir only
laughed and said, I'm happy and
will live forever"

Dorothy and Davie aren't to be in
today's story. children,
They deserve to be left out, don't
you think. after their rudeness OF
yesterday?
I'm going to tell you the story Of
the green Christmas tree instead.
Out upon a lonely hillside, where
the wind howled o. nights and the
sun shone by day, there grew a
little green fir tree.
1t poked its tip of a nose through
The ground one bright, warm day,
and said, merrily. How do you do.
old world I'm glad to be here"
And little distance away, a big
mother tree said sadly. wait until
you are as old as l am, and have
seen years come and go, and flow
ers witheF and die, and young peo-
pie grow old and heavy hearted.
Then we'll see"
But tho little green shoot refused
TO grow sad, and began to grow
with all it's might. so that before
long 1t could sway a little in the
breeze, and see down the hillside
into the valley where were hun
dred nesting farms.
I'm happy, I'm happy" sang the
little green shoot.
Flowers came and told the little
green shoot many pretty things.
The violets were his first friends.
They snuggled confidingly at his
feet and whispered little love
thoughts. And then they died,
and the little green shoot knew
that the mother tree was
right, and the world did hold
sadness after all. But pretty soon
the daisies came, with their golden
laughing centres, and they bobbed
their heads at him in such a friend
ly way that pretty soon he forgot.
the violets, and was happy again.
The little shoot was growing fast
by this time. He had backbone,
on which tiny promises of branches
were beginning to form.
Now I'm really happy, happy,
happy" he sang to the daisies, and
again the sad old mother tree whis-
pered, wait and see."
One day the daisies dropped their
heads, and all the cries that came
from the wondering little green fir
Tree could not raise them.
You, too wept the little green
fir tree: life is cruel, after ALL"
But the golden rod came and the

POLICE COURT,
Discord Still Reigns in the
Demetri Family.
Thomas Placed Under Bonds,
Wednesday, 10 Keep The Peace.
Four Hohoes Face the Court on
Charge Of lnioxication.

For the second time, this week,
Thomas Demetri was arraigned,
Wednesday morning, before the NUM-
eipal court, on a charge of assault and
battery, sworn out against him by his
wife, Vanthia. ON Monday morning
when Thomas WAS arraigned, the
court, after hearing the somewhat
tiresome details Of what constituted
but another chapter of a series Of
family rows which have covered
period of several years, the court con-
tinued the case for one week, in order
that the parties interested might be
able to reach some agreement whereby
they would for little while at least,
cease to burden the court with the
endless tale Of their troubles, but this
was not TO be.
On Wednesday morning, Nanthia
a gain sought the judge and swore out
a warrant against Thomas on a SINH
lar charge to that on which he had
Leen tried, earlier in the week, and
later on Thomas himself appeared-by
request. When he was arraigned he
promptly pleaded not guilty. From the
: testimony which was forthcoming it
appeared that the trouble. Tuesday.
grew out of an attempt on the part
Of Thomas to take the family baby
carriage, to which Vanilla objected
1t was also alleged that Thomas mani
tested on intention to remove the rest

mixup occurred Vanthia alleged that

peared before the court, Wednesday
morning, she WAS forced TO borrow
suf Gent raiment to make her present
ale. She told the court that she did
not stay at home, Tuesday night, but
that Thomas broke into their tene-
ment and slept there until morning.
When asked about the clothing. Thorn
as allowed that he had not taken it
that his wife had it, but from contra
dictory statements which he had made
to one of the police officers the court
was led to believe that with all his
other troubles the respondent was suf-
fering from lad case of hesitation Of
veraeity.
Thomas was held guilty of the
charge against him. and was ordered
to furnish a bond in the sum of $500
TO keep the peace for six months, or
to languish for i like period in kenne-
bee Jail During the afternoon the
required BAH was forthcoming, and he
was given his liberty.
