TO THE
LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
VIII you please be kind enough
to advise me in the following
matter?
! have been married almost =
year. Now, there is a foolish
young girl near my husbands
place OF business who has re-
peatedly requested friends OF his
to introduce him to her. These
friends in question have told me
about 1t each time, but they did
not tell the girl that he was mar
ried, only saying that he did not
care to meet girls near his work.
She is making every effort to
meet him, and I am really very
unhappy over II. Therefore,
would IL be undignified of me to
stop this girl and tell her that
the man she desires to become
acquainted with is my husband7
Thanking you in advance for a
kind answer, I am,
ANXIOUS"
think It would be more dignifed
II the friends you mention would
tell the young lady that the man
she is making such heroic efforts to
meet Is married.
Indeed. cannot imagine why
they did not do so In the first place,
and save every one concerned
trouble.
She Is probably only young and
silly and will turn her attention to
some one else when she dicovers
the man is another woman's hus-
band.

was calling Puss and his
friends. the pig and the lit.
tie bear and the monkey, to
supper, wasn't she? Well, you can
easily imagine they didn't feel very
hungry. They had lost their appe-
tites after hearing from the poll
parrot what a wicked woman she
was, as mentioned in the last
story.
Come on" said Puss, and he led
the way to the great dining hall.
The giant sat down at one end OF
the table and his wife at the other,
and Puss sat on the right hand OF
the giantess. and the little bear ana
tie monkey sat somewhere IN be-
tween, ! don't remember just where.
But, anyway. the first thing the
gfantess said was: You must drink
q little wine before you eat, for Il
VIII give you a good Appetite" But
Puss answered at once: "No.
thank you, Mrs. Giant Little folks
like us would rather have milk"
And then the giantess looked very
cross. for she had put some Sleep
ing powder in the wine, you see-
But pretty soon she told the man
servant to bring a glass OF milk
for each OF them. aud she wiaked
AZ him AZ the same time.
"Ha. ha. my ins lady giant"
thought Puss TO himself. you don't
catch me drinking any milk" and
he would have tried to tell his little
trends not to drink any. but the
giants wife never took her eyes on
him.
Well IN a few minutes after
drinking the milk, the little bear
and the monkey fell fast asleep and
the pig began to wink and blink,
and pretty soon he was sound
asleep, too.
Ny. oh. my! what ill-mannered
friends you have" said the giants
wife, turning to Puss. "And your
manners are not what they should
be, either. You ask for milk and
then you refuse to drink IT" And
wouldn't you suppcse the big. good
natured giant would hHve asked his
wife not to be so disagreeahle? But
he didn't dare, for, although he was
4 giant, he was afraid OF his wife,
just like lots OF men are.
Come. come. Drink your milk"
said the giantess quite GROSSLY, but
lhSlCdu OF oOlnB "ndI She asked,
Puss stood upon his feet and said:
''Umpty, dumpty, diddledy o,
There's something In the milk 7
know"
What do you meanE" screamed
that wicked. giantess, and she
picked up a big knife and leaned
over toward Puss- And as soon as
she did that, he touched her with
his magic flaming feather, and she
turned into a statue.
"Ah," sighed the giant, "she will
never nag me again." And then he
took out his big pipe and filled II
with tobacco. and after that he
lighted II with a big torch and
smoked away without saying q
word. And then he sighed again
md put his feet up on a chair and
blew smoke rings as big as hoops
INTO the air. And next time I'll
ell you what happened after that

CASH ALLOWANCE FOR DAWSON CUT
Especial to The Citizen)

DAWSON, Y. T., May 3.-Local officials are wondering how it is go- ing to be possible for the Yukon Territory to keep it's schools and hos pitals open during the present year on the reduced allowance which the Canadian government is to make The Yukon legislature has been noti- fled that Ottawa officials have con- firmed the Canadian governments de- cision to cut the cash allowance of the territory to 42 per cent of what has heretofore been customary for the maintenance of schools and hos pitals.
 This action will work some de- gree of hardship on the territory, but there are no kicks being made. as it is understood that the urgency of the governments needs is greater than those of the territory itself The officials are now endeavoring to devise some manner in which the shortage may be supplied so that neither schools nor hospitals will be curtailed.

 SEATTLE, May 3,-The campaign against the Industrial Workers of the World is being kept up here and in other northwestern cities with un- remitting vigor, and this element of discord is being rapidly weeded out Last night fifty police raided the local headquarters and arrested 213 members of the organization.
 A great crowd of citizens collected in front of the building as the ar rested industrialists were brought forth and cheered the police with much enthusiasm. Many of the ar. rested men are of military age and were without registration cards.
 Since the government has stiffened in it's attitude toward the I. w. w. and the edict has gone forth that this organization is to be dispersed and it's members prosecuted for dis loyalty and sedition, the local federal and city .oflcials have gathered in several hundred suspects. many of whom proved to be draft slackers.
