and the bear, dropping upon all fours,
submitted to being chained to his mas

river, leaving sticky trail upon the
pavements as they passed.
A gradual progress brought him to
Riverside drive, and he had by then
collected over dollar. That was
very little Perhaps the children OF
the rich would pay.
Along the steep embankment he
paraded his bear, and drew crowd

boat scuttled into dock, and the as

turn, to the landings very gate, he fol.

stepped aboard.

"and buy a postal card"

passengers gathered about Mr.. Jones
delightedly, and when the hat was
passed (the bear did it) another dollar
had been gained. Then the farther
shore was reached, and the painter
scrambled up the steep roadway to the

''Ole lady hurted?" beamed this
cherubic parsonage.
'tNo, only tired out" lied Hill glibly.

Hill did not wait to be urged fur

Miss George Woodthorpe went back
to her childhood days for her reminis-
cence, to the time when the West was
really wild and woolly.

as ingenue roles. remember | was
on the boat that went up the Snake
river to Dalles, Wash, and on that
boat was the governor of Oregon, who
was going up to see the great Indian
chief, Homelli, about some treaty or
other the details of which / forget, ex-
cepting that it concerned two other
chiefs that were being held prisoners
for their friendship to the whites.
'"This Thanksgiving day always
stands out in my memory and shall
never forget the interest felt In
seeing this big Indian invited into the
cabin where we had our Thanksgiving
dinner, and sitting down to the table
with his blankets wrapped around him.
/ scarcely ate any dinner, but just sat
and watched Chief Homelli enjoy the
turkey and wines that were served
''It was on this trip that heard the
first phonograph-and that was long
before the day of Edison. remember
my amazement at hearing voice

was a ventriloquist in the room, but

the voice proceeded.

"Oh, that would be grand!" said
Lola, the freckled. THANK you awfully,
Mr.. What was the name?"

swered so impulsively that he seldom
remembered to lie.
L.
beamed. "Mr. Lovejoy, he won't have
no objections, guess. Anyway, he
won't know"
Though not pretty, she was sweet
little thing.
"True," said Hill. There are many
simple innocent occurrences that don't
hurt us if we don't know about them.
For instance, Mr.. Lovejoy couldn't OBJ
ject because he wouldn't know II
hum!"
Here Hill leaned very far over the
counter, and Lola leaned very far to-
ward him, doubtless to discover what
he was referring to, which she quickly
did, for he kissed her lightly upon the
lips.
Then he turned, and went out, hur-
riedly, much astonished at himself
and leaving Miss Lola La Fargo alias
Lizzy Hinkle, equally astounded,
though not so much at what had hap
pened, as at her own lack Of any
proper distress and regret.
AS for Hill he wandered off toward
the river.
When noon came, he stopped at a
dairy, and obtaining milk and dough
nuts, sat down (by permission Of the
proprietor) upon the door sill of that
exit which led into the back yard, and
the two men fell into conversation.
Suddenly there came a crash from the
shop behind them, and they rushed in,
just quickly enough to see Mr.. Jones,
who had overturned the protecting
glass case, waddling of into the street,
his paws filed with comb-honey which
he had stolen from the counter.
stop, thief!" yelled the dairyman.
"Shut up, you'll collect crowd"
yelled Hill. Here, Jonesy! Here,
Jonesy! come back, you villain, sir!"
"Hi! stop him, stop him!" shouted
the dairyman, dancing upon the door
sill, but making no effort to run after
and interfere with Mr.. Jones.
Keep quiet! Cut it out!" said Hill
to the dairyman roughly. Here's all
the money I've got. I'm sorry the case
got smashed, but arresting me won't
do a bit of good. I'll send you more
money later"
With which he rushed out after his
animal, leaving the little milk-seller
still dancing for rage upon the door
sill, his white apron fiuttering in the
wind
At the street corner sat Mr.. Jones,
busily engaged In consuming his stolen
sweets. With great difficulty he was
persuaded to part with some of the re-

clever manner that the chakri, on
coming down, rolls UP the thread
again on itself, and is caught in the
hands of the thrower. The art has
been dexterously practiced by claes
of people for ages past, and some
members are so renowned that they
cut a good figure at the scene. It is
most interesting to watch the thrower
fling the chakri up high, catch it in his
hands on return and continue sending
it up again and again till the rope be-
comes as high as seventy feet above
the ground. There is absolutely no

its city-trained senses scarcely revolt

some warning of danger, and the two
men noted the action

From within the saloon came sounds
which Indicated that Mikey had dis.
covered the trick played upon him.
Whoa, my baby!" roared the happy
cabby. Push the d-n bear inside!"
In a moment it was done, not with
out protest from Mr.. Jones. And as

about with many suspicious sniff, set

radical. It percefves that most cars adhere pretty closely, in their new models. to what has become, to them, standard design. Motor car makers who produce, in their own plants, all the essential parts for their cars have big investments in machinery equipment; and what may appear to the casual struction, often necessitate costly changes in plant equipment and opera tfons. For that reason many manufac- turers prefer to avoid radical aItera- tions in their cars.
 AS an instance, the Eight-Cylinder Cadillac recently announced-a distinct departure from any previous Ameri- can design necessitated an invest ment of approximately half million dies, fixtures, and other equipment. This Investment, of course, will be spread over the production of thou sands of cars and probably for long period of time.
 The new type of cylinder block and new shape crankcase demanded huge milling machines, different from those the Cadillac had used in the production of previous models. The same was true of the machines which cut the beveI gears in the rear axle. The teeth on the driving pinion and the large differ ential gear in the new car are of the helica1 type, which could not be formed with the equipment previously used. There are many other instances where new equipment was necessary, each calling for an additional expenditure.
 In the light of these facts. it can readily be understood why many manu- standard designs and avoid radical changEes.

COLONIAL THEATRE.
"The TolI," Remarkable Two Reel Fea.
 ture, with James Morrison.

One of. the strongest dramas of the season is the wonderful story that is the feature today at the Colonial the atre. It is entitled The Toll, and fea- lures James Morrison, George Cooper, Dorothy Kelley, and other big Vita graph favorites. For the comedy parts the screaming farce by John Bunny and Flora Finch entitled Such Hunt CT, is one of the most uproariously funny comedy films ever seen and these two eccentric comedians appear to their best in it. Broncho Billy's Wild Ride is the splendid western drama with G. M. Anderson. Coming soon is the mammoth five reel special feature, The Master Mind, with Ed mund Breese. This feature alone is the talk of the country, dealing with an entirely new subject, which is not only entertaining, but instructive as well. The Love of Orc San is an ex- quisitely beautiful Japanese story for today also.

The next act is Ross and Benson, a team of clever entertainers who do a pretty singing and dancing oddity introducing some of the latest dances along with some fine singing numbers. The cos tunes worn in this act are of the lat est style and lend a distinction to the act. The third act is the wonderful accordion player Joe Pino. The way is something marvellous. In the photo plays today the feature is called A Modern Rip Van Wrinkle, produced by the American company in two reels; other photoplays are, Where the Mountains Meet, thrilling Reliance western drama Our Mutual Girl in a new series of adventures, and Killing Horace an extremely funny Keystone comedy with all the Keystone stars, are also on the bill.
