HOW TWO NAUGHTY CHILDREN
BECAME GOOD.
By Jessie Batterbee.

Once upon time there was two
little Children boy and a girl who
lived with their mama. They were
always quarreling over their play
things, and one day their mama
bought some wall paper to paper their
rooms and each thought the others
was the prettiest, and they said very
unkind words to each other.
Now their mama thought it was
time she punished them severely so
she put them each in their own rooms
to stay twenty-four hours all alone.
Now this made them very lonely for
they really loved each other very
dearly. And they began to feel sorry
that they had been so naughty. So
when their mother let them come out
the next morning they were so glad
to see her and each other that they
cried with joy, and promised they
would never quarrel again and they
never did.
Of course, / like your story Jessie;

A TRUE BEAR STORY.
BY Gladys Batterbee.

Once my grandfather was out pick
ing berries. He came to quite large
berry bush. He began picking ber-
ries there. After while he came to
the other side of the bush and there
stood a large bear. He didn't have
anything to kill it with so he just
walked away and left the bear eating
berries and didn't do anything. And
Grandpa had some experience with
the bear.

that only II OF these were not strik-
ers. The ~ included strikebreakers
and guards employed by the clothing
bosses.
The second report showed 81 men
had been granted special police pow
ers by Schuettler since the beginning
of the strike. The Edward V. Price
Co. has 20. Lamm & Co., The Great
Central Tailoring Co., the F. W. Smith
Co., the Scotch Wooden Mills and the
M. L. overndorf Co. use the rest of
them.
Where is the correspondence be-
tween you and Chief Healey?" Aid.
Buck asked Scheuttler after the re-
ports had been read.
81 don't think that the communica-
tons between the two highest officers
in our police department should be
made public" said Asst Corporation
Counsel Hornstein, who represented
the city. Suppose the police had
secret agents who turned in reports
out mingling with the workers. The
making public Of these is likely to
cause complications.
Buck turned to Schuettler. "Are
there any secret agents of your de-
partment in the ranks of the strik-
ers?" he demanded.
"The chief does not have to answer
that question" said Hornstein.
"They have the privilege of using
secret agents for investigating crimes
and criminals"
81 think the public will be benefited
by this knowledge. / think it an out
rage that a member of the staff of
the corporation counsel should try to
hamper the work of this committee"
returned Buck. '"These people are

The meeting then switched to the
bosses end. Guinea asked if any
body was present representing the
employers.
The clerk read letter signed by
Chairman Lynch asking representa-
tives Of Lamm & Co., B. Kuppen-
heimer & Co., the Royal Tailors, and
Kuh, Nathan & Fischer to attend the
meeting to respond to some of the
questions the aldermen wanted to ask
about the sluggers these firms had
employed to intimidate the strikers.
No one answered.
"They have ignored us" said Chair
man Lynch.
"Is your department capable of
handling this strike, chief" Aid.
Buck asked Schuettler.
The reply was yes.
"Then will ask the committee to
act upon the following order this aft
ernoon. The order revokes all of the
special police commissions issued to
the sluggers employed by those tailor
ing companies and directs the police
department to investigate each of the
men who acted in that capacity. The
criminal records of the men, if there
be any, will be investigated

studying the marks made by the tire
of the Clutching Hand cab.

proceeded. for a mistake meant losing
the trail of Elaine.

AT last Kennedy stopped the cab
and slowly directed the driver to veer
into an open space that looked partic-
ularly lonesome. Near it stood a one
story brick factory building, closed
but not abandoned.
AS l looked about at the unattrac-
