set to the parks is being demon
strated daily at the popular krug

ment nightly. Preisman's orchestra

tributed largely to the success of the
dance pavilion.
Roller skating and the free open air
theater are also well patronized
nightly.

Big Breeze set him down in a large

he could not see the direction of his
home. Just then merry March hare
came along and exclaimed: Mad
flattercrs! what's wrong, little boy:
Alvin was a bit frightened at first,
but the merry March hare was 50
polite and pleasant that Alvin could
not doubt his kindness, so he told
what the Big Breeze had done.
Don't you care said the merry
March hare. Mount me and hold
fast to my cars, III leap you home
It's leap year you know All aboard.
With that the merry March har"
leaped and jumped and Alvin soon
found himself in his own yard and the

No Longer Menace to Humans.
Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied of recent years,
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although It
is described in most medical text books
many physicians are not familiar with
its symptoms. This ignorance of the
disease is the chief source of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the
last few years there is no reason why
it should be a menace to human life.

who cared nothing for the good or the
bad wishes of any human creature.
When he died, however. il turned out
that he had been by no means rs thick
skinned as he seemed. He left a will
in which he bequeathed money to diff
ferent persons, and ten thousand
pounds 10 some unknown individual
whom he directed his solicitor To dis
cover if possible. That person had
