WANT 70 tell you about Bin
kie, a little dog that once
adopted US. He got his name
from the fox terrier in Kip
ling's The Light That Failed and
we used to be cruel enough, some
times. TO lift him up by the stub OF
his tail TO see if he was as game.
He was a spunky and very indc-
pendent bit OF a dog when he FIRST
adopted US, and in his early puppy
hood we learned that there wasn't
the slightest use OF trying 70 en-
iorce discipline with d whip. He
simply wouldn't have IT, He'd crawl
under the bed or a sofa and fight
bach with all OF the sharp little teeth
in his head. Moral suasion-jolly-
ing--was the only way to teach him
manners.
We always hung up his stocking
for his birthday, just as we did at
Christmas. because he seemed 10 so
enjoy getting presents that way. As
soon as day began he'd insist upon
shaking it up to get at the contents.

made and they are fun TO do.
Buy penny postcards. Instead OF
addressing them 70 your friends,
write some Valentine message on
the back Of each postcard. Then

Do one card at time, so that the
pieces do not become mixed.
Next put the Valentine pieces,
one by one, into different envelopes.
The envelopes should be sealed.
Perhaps. you might inclose with the

His heart was heavy with forebodinS
when he left the enchanter and rode
TO his fathers castle. The King no
ticed that his son was greatly trou-
bled. When he lay down TO sleep
every one in the castle heard his Groans
and his moans. The next day he told
his father the story from beginning

councillor and asked him if he knew
where the King Of the Black Wilder
ness was to be found.

you this: Unless the Prince finds the
enchanter. as sure as there's a tail on a

on the Queen, and the Kings heir had

Within a week. however, the Queens

MUNSEY SELLS
HIS DAILY NEWS
FOR S4,OOO.OOO
Building Goes With It, AS
Well as Statement Why
Sale Is Made.
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Baltimore, Aug. 28.-Announce-
ment was made today of the sale by
Frank A. Munsey of the Baltimore
News, and the Munsey building, to
Stuart Olivier who has been general
of Mr.. Munsey's Baltimore
interests for the past eight years. 1t
is understood that the transaction in
volved about $4,000,000. Mr.. Olivier
announced that he Stands alone in
purchasing these properties, having
no alliance with any financial or cor
porate interests" The independent
policy of the paper, he said, would
be continued.
The News today publishes per-
sonal statement from Mr.. Munsey
concerning the sale. He said he had
bought the Baltimore News with the
view to making it one of chain of
newspapers to be owned and oper-
ated by one central organization.
Theoretically he said, the idea look
ed to be sound. "But the newspa-
per chain in the outworl1ing is not the
same thing it looked to be in analy-
sis" Mr.. Munsey continued. 'It has
fatal defect, which organization
and capital cannot overcome-the de-
feet that is felt in a newspaper under
salaried management as contrasteo
with the newspaper under Individual
ownership management.
Owners management speaks a Ian
guage that the community under
stands. It's known its accent, its in
tentions and characteristics, whereas
with the salaried management ther'
is always something akin to the for
eign accent that cannot be disguised.

statement replying to Secretary. of

the Colonel's Pittsburgh speech. He
took issue with the secretary on the
ADMINISTRATORS attitude toward Haiti
and Mexico and called attention to
what he considers the unpreparedness
of the American fleet.
He declared that for nearly two
years, 1918 and 1914, the warships
have not exercised in fleet maneuver-
ing and declared he is reliably in
formed they never exercised in fleet
or squadron gunner. He asserted
that a child of six with moderate in,
telligence knows that a two-yeal
failure to undertake such maneuverl
means literally criminal deteriora
ton" and that the falling off in gun
merry the past year is due to ''cul

conditions that might exist.
