Johnny and Polly Chuck Fall
Out.

You know what the meaning of
falling out is. 1t means to quarrel.
When people quarrel they are said to
fall out It is a dreadful thing to have
happen. but happen it does even
among those who seem the happiest
together. Now Johnny Chuck and
Polly Chuck had lived together 50
long and SO happily that no one ever
dreamed that they would fall out. But
fall out they did, and over nothing at
all. But that is just between our
selves, for to this day their friends
and neighbors haven't the least idea
what it was about
You know they had made their
home for long time under an old
apple tree down in the far corner of
the Old Orchard. In fact this had
been their only home since Polly had
consented to become Mrs. Chuck. 1t
really was a fine home. The doorway
was between two big roots of the old
apple tree and was Just big enough
for them to pass in and out easily.
The roots made it perfectly useless
for Bowser the Hound or Reddy Fox
or anybody else to try to dig them
out. 1t was very prettily situated. and
sweet clover and the tenderest Of
grasses.
The neighbors were of the best.
Striped Chipmunk had his home
somewhere near in the old stone wall,
but just where he had managed to
keep a secret. Drummer the Wood
pecker had followed out a fine house
up in the old apple tree over their
heads and raised family there one
summer. The following summer the
house was occupied by Skinner and

Canadians Compel Men to Kiss
Union Jack; Order Strike End.

VANCOUVER. B. c., August g.
Angered because approximately 1000
union workers of Vancouver went on
a twenty-four strike yesterday as a
protest against the recent killing of
Albert Goodwin, alleged draft evader,
by a Dominion officer, a crowd esti-
mated at nearly 400 returned soldiers
raided the labor temple here. The SOL
diers broke down some inside doors,
secured entrance to the offices and
threw books and records into the
street.
v. R. Ridgley. labor secretary, and
John kavanagh, socialist leader. for
mer president of the trades council,
were taken into the street and made
to kiss the Union Jack. Constab bles
surrounded soldiers and their pris-
oners. but later the soldiers went to
nearby drill grounds. where they pass
ed resolutions giving Vancouver strike
leaders two hours to call of the
strike or suffer the penalty of being
run out of the city.
Earlier in the afternoon the soldiers
attempted to operate the street cars
which had been stopped by the strik-
ers. but the power was turned OF.
