The Mischievous Bear.

Long ago there were two hunters who lived near forest. Their favor ite pastime was hunting. They loved the tall, stately trees. the waving grass and the beautiful wild flowers: but above all they loved the pets they had made of animals while hunting.
 One day as they were riding through the forest they heard low whine Looking through the bushes. they saw little brown bear. It seemed to be lost, so they took it home. It was soon great pet. but very mischievous Fuzzy, as it was called, liked to gel into the pantry.

Once there was a raft in the water. There were three children. Mary was the oldest, Alice was the youngest, Jack was about middle in age.
 One day they were walking along and saw the raft. Mary said Let's some fun"
 Jack said "All right"
 No, I'm afraid said Alice.
 Nonsense" said Mary and Jack to- gether. So Mary. Jack and Alice wad- ed out, hand in hand. While Mary and Jack. were wading Alice was bending over the raft to look at the beautiful water.
 Alice fell into the water and scream ed with all her might. Mary and Jack did not hear her; but an old friend of father heard Alice.
 He screamed to Mary and Jack to catch their little sister. while he sailed out to get her.
 So Mary and Jack hurried back as fast as they could to save their little sister.
 They told this man how she was afraid to wade, and how they made fun of her. This mans name was MT Brown MT Brown asked Why did you not let her have her way"' Alice said I'm going to tell mamma on you. You were too naughty for any l thing" Just as she said this she burst into flood of tears.

The NauahtY Robin.

By Charlotte Richmond A naughty little robin Refused one day to sing And hid his silly title head Beneath his rumpled wing. The other baby robins. Whose hearts were full of cheer, Sang out their merry little song So all the world could hear. And then, as they were happy, And as the skies were blue. They stretched their tiny baby wing, And flew. and flew. and flew. Until they found-how lucky!- Y A hnc. old cherry tree Just full of lovely cherries s As ripe as ripe could be.
 '-s,' But the naughty little robin With his head beneath his wing Lost the sunshine and the cherries Just because he wouldn't sing.

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE.
 AWAKES,

Now we have reached the long va cation which teachers enjoy. mothers dread and too many children do not know what to do with.
 IL is a season of likeness and is called recreation. but no one ever yet re-oreated by doing nothing.
 Some folks think having a vacation is to become SO lazy one cannot ever entertain an idea; and others say the only rest worth having is the one which Is produced by being busy about something different from reg ular work.
 There is one thing sure. a vacation should never represent wasted time. or double trouble for parents. since they have work and worry enough in the regular duties of life.
 He is dull who does not learn something new every day whether 1t is a vacation day. or a work day.
 1t is good 10 be busy. for it is busy people who acquire the most of this worlds goods and know the least of misery.
 We not only work to make money but by working make the man. or the woman, and the government
 The vacation term takes it's name because of vacant school houses. but it should not mean also vacant minds.
 Norktim is doing what must b, done. and vacation time should be oc. eupied in doing what one loves to do unless love leads to idleness. whici has been called the resort of veal minds and holiday fools
 We should not work too much, O play too much, but so adjust work aut play that the one helps the other.
 He who learns something new ever. day Is walking towards wisdom with out feci!ng averworked.

Advantaqes of New EnaIand.

When one comes to think about the
 different advantages person has by
 living in New England. he finds he has
 a great many more than maybe some
 body else, who does not live in
 place with such good conditions.
 The people who live in New England
 are free from some disadvantages that
 people of the western states are like
 ly to be visited with. New England
 people have no fear of their land be- ing flooded or being visited by earth quakes. New England has a moder- ate climate 1t is neither extremely hot nor very cold. Such things as cyclones are rarely heard of in New England There are no wild animals like wolves to be found. In the northern part of New England there are a few noun tains, but no volcanoes.
 New England has many natural ad- vantages, such as good climate. good water power, good f1arhors, good soil for agriculture, and good forests. New England has many railroad , centers. It also has about twenty | five cities with population of about | twenty-f five thousand or more. Massa - | chusetts is the leading state of the | Union in the manufacture of cotton 1 and wooden goods.
 l There are many historical facts con- 1 nected withs New England: In 1881 1 Primer Clemer Of France visited New 1 England. The famous Boston tea 1 party, which was in 1773. was held in l Boston harbor. The battle of Lex I ington and Concord in 1TT5. on April 1 18th, which was the beginning of the

BEST THEATRE.

The much mooted question as to whether death would affect the ponu- larity of the picture production of a celebrated screen star has been set tied in the case of the famous photo plays of the late Harold Lockwood, the first moving picture star of in- ternational fame to die at the height of his, career.
 Not only have thousands of his ad- mirers in every quarter of the globe written the producers of these plays as to the fate of the popular actor's unreleased screen plays made just be- fore his untimely death, but other thousands have urged the re-issuing of old favorites in which Mir. Lock- wood first attained world success. Already several of these have; been shown by prominent exhibitors. and new prints of others are now being made, fo rthe theatres seeking them.
 There are four Lockwood pictures, recently completed, now awaiting re- lease. He had been elevated to the high rank of star of Screen Class ics" under which be made "PalS First" splendid film which will be shown at the Best Theatre today.
 The photoplay is film version of the stage success of the same name dramatized by Lee Wilson Dood from the novel by Francis Perry Elliott, published by Harper and Brothers. Edwin Carewe, director de luze of the new Lockwood production, is respon- sible for the direction of the picture.

AT THE HAUBER.

There's no telling when life will present you with a difficult and inn portant problem to solve. At any moment one of those old twists and turns which come so unexpectedly, and which are so vital and urgent, may come to you.
 You can never tell from one min ute to the next what is going to hap pen. When Evelyn Merrill married Harold Carson" she was supremely happy, and thought that she was fixed for life. But one night, about a week or ten days after her mar riage, her husband failed to come home. After waiting fo him anx- iously that night and the next day and the following days for week, she decided that he had deserted her and she went back to the shop to get her old job back.
 A malignant fate seemed to pur- sue Evelyn. All sorts of trials and : tribulations occurred to her. It really seemed as though someone was try ing to make things just as hard for her as possible. As matter of fact, that is exactly what was happening. Harold's father a ulti-millionaire, did not approve of his sons mar riage, and had induced the young man to run away for year without saying goodbye to his wife-the pur- pose in this being otest out his love. Then the father had set him. self systematically to make Evelyn miserable. This he could do. because Harold had married Evelyn under an assumed name, and she did not know who he really was.
 June Evelyn is magnificent in the role of Evelyn Merrill in the new World Picture, "The Moral Dead line" Frank Mayo plays opposite her in the role of Harold. You will en- joy this picture. i See it today at the Hauber Theatre.

COUNCIL FAv0RS
 45 DEGREE ANGLE
 * PARKING LAW Cars Will Now Be Angled In Instead of Placed
 Alongside Curb.

The city council went on record last night as favoring the parking of automobiles at an angle of forty-five degrees. Will Nichol, representing the Rotary Club, petitioned the council to allow automobile owners to park cars at an angle of 45 degrees after o'clock at night After a slight dis cussion, in which practically all of the members of the council participated, Bride that the police committee in- struct the chief of police to allow the parking of cars at a forty-five degree angle after o'clock at night This was amended by Alderman Clement to allow the forty-five degree angle day and night,
 Regarding the parking regulations, it was pointed out by members of the council that there were no ordinances covering just how cars should be parked, though the chief of police had been instructed to have them parked along the curb. The mayor and the council have both realized that this was an impractical regulation, and the action last night was the result of various conferences and discussions which they have had both in and out of the council chambers regarding the matter.
 Extend Fire Limit. >'
 An ordinance was brought in ex- tending the fire limits a half block on each side of Main street from Tenth avenue to Martin avenue.
 The committee on ordinances was instructed to bring in an ordinance at the next meeting appropriating $50 month to the venearal clinic. Lieut.. Mcdonald, of the United States health department, who has been instrument al in the establishment of the clinic, stated to the council that the clinic was now working in good order, and that he expected to render this city immune from the contagion. The mayor was instructed to ar range for the decoration of the city hall in honor of the coming w. o. w. i convention.

Bombing Won't Rid
 Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand- ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. !"
 Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandru6 will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.
