Il supposed the King knew every
thing" she replied, much surprised.
There are some things that even
Kings can learn," said Tinker Bob.
Il climb far out on a limb of a
tree that hangs over the water.
There l place my eggs on a leaf,
and when the eggs hatch they fall in
to the water and live until the child
rem can climb"
"You are very strange mother,
indeed" said Tinker, "but tell me
how do your children learn to
elimb?"
Mother Nature gives them long
toes with many muscles with which
they are able to stick to the smooth
est limb on the tree"
"You son expects to marry Miss
Mousey, ! understand"
Eyes, he will live with the Mouse
family in the big pine tree all win

sorrowfully.
"But where will you spend the
winter?' asked Tinker Bob.

will go back to the water and live
under the ice in the mud all win

Tinker Bob was very glad he had
called to see Mrs. Tree Toad, for she
was such kind and harmless crea-
ture. He told her about the recep-
ton for Mr.. Ground Hog and that
the wedding would take place the
night before so that Mr.. Frogs or

effect on some others, and Jerry the
Jay belonged to this class. So the
King had to straighten out things
that Jerry upset.
Now Mr.. and Mrs. Tree Mouse liv-
ed in large pine tree. Here they
had raised large and obedient fami-
y. The thing that always seemed
strange to Tinker Bob was that Mr.
and Mrs. Mouse always lived in the
top of the tree. Usually a mouse
has his house on the ground and is
very much afraid to go high up in
q tree. But Mr.. and Mrs. Tree Mouse
ran up and down the tallest limbs as
children run back and forth on the
side walks.
Tinker told Mr.. Mouse that Jerry
the Jay was apt to tell little things
that were not always true, and that
these things ofttimes caused much
trouble among the forest dwellers.
When Mr.. Mouse understood just
how the King felt about the matter
he was much pleased.
But tell me-" said Tinker Bob,
"why do you live so high up in the
tree when so many of your relatives
live on the ground?"
Oh, there is a very good reason,
answered Mr.. Mouse. "You see,
when we lived on the ground we had
to come out of our home many times
in the day to get food, and often Red
Fox or some other enemy would
pounce upon US and many of our
family were killed. So at last we
held a council meeting and decided
to make our home in the top of the
pine tree, then we would not be mo-
Tested by so many of the forest enc
mics"
"But who taught you to build your
house?"
1--WE decided to build our house
out of leaves and moss and sma!
sticks. AS our family grows, we ada

til we have a house built all the way

IT She Could Burrow Her Way Under
An Old Nest 1t Was Mach Safer
Than Living in Hole.
Mouse, because she was not able to
build a house in the top of; the tree
with many rooms and Railways. But
instead, she lived either in hole in
the side Of the tree or in a limb
crotch where Mrs. Crow had built
her nest the year before. If she
could burrow her way under an old
nest it was much safer than living
in hole.
Tinker Bob found Mrs. Tree Toad
on a limb watching for stray
spider. What are you doing?" he
asked.

Mrs. Toad replied.
pray tell me, what do you find
to eat among the leaves and branches
of this tree?"
"Oh, there is plenty here for my
son and me-" said she. "You know
the stray spiders make a good meal
once day. Then there's the big
green fly that always suns himself
on a leaf when he gets a chance, and
when he goes to sleep we catch him."
"Tell me, where do you raise your
children?"
"The lake or the river always takes
care of my children till they are old
enough to climb the trees, then they
can feed themselves.
How do you put them in the lake
when you always live in a tree?
Tinker Bob was very much interested

Miss Mousy, who had tainted, now
came to and was very glad to find
the King a very different creature
than she had expected. So the ar
rangements were made for her to

in the tree also). The King would

CUT ON BUYINC!
"Public Must Reduce I'll. c. L.
for ItSeIf''-Palmer.
Packers Cooperate by Starting
New Educational Drive.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-National educa-
tionaI campaigns to inform the public
regarding use of cheaper cuts of meat,
relative costs of various meat prod
ucts and price changes were advocated
by Thomas E. Wilson. president of the
American Institute of Meat Packers,
in letter accepting Governor Low
denis invitation to participate in the
high cost of living conference here to-
day.
A Mitchell Palmer. United States
attorney general, will attend the con-
ferences.
"4his buying tendency" said Will
son, referring to the discrimination of
the public against the cheaper cuts
causes an inequality of demand for
the different parts of the meat animal
and thereby makes retail merchandls-
ing of meat more expensive.
I'VE believe the conference can dc-
complish much toward equalizing the
demand for the various cuts of meat
by educating the public"
He advocated informing the pubic
at all times regarding the conditions
of supply, demand and consumption
so that purchases could be adjusted to
changing situations. He called at
tention to the heavy decline in pork
and beef prices during the past few
months, which, If the public were kept
informed. he said would reduce pur-
chases of meats declining less rapidly
and equalize prices

HOWAT is HELD
lCnn.,nnad rrnn Face omar

tCOnt1nue0 from FdK0 Ouo.b
Judge A B. Anderson. II have re-
ceived no word that 1 might be singled
out"
President Howat said that remarks
he made about Anderson and Palmer at
Indianapolis in the conference of the
miners last week. may be behind the
action taken in his case. But didn't
say any more than some OF the others
did," Howat said.
Governor Allen Refused.
The local strike evidently referred
to in court at Indianapolis as having
been maintained by Howat, is that of
the employees of the Central Coal &
Coke company in the southwest. Six
teen hundred of these strikers are in
the Kansas field. The Central en-
ployes went out about six months ago.
1t is alleged that they have grievances
and Howat and other officials have al
legged that the Central would not set
tie them nor would the Southwestern
Interstate Coal Operators association
force the Central to make settlement
in accordance with the contract.
In the negotiations for a settlement
of the Kansas strike between Cover
nor Allen and the state receivers on
one side and the miners on the other
last Friday. operators interposed a re-
quest that Governor Allen include the
Central strike in the settlement. This
Governor Allen refused to do.
You failed for six months to set
tie it and now why should I try to
settle it for you?" the governor asked
the operators.
Howat declared Saturday that the
agreement at Indianapolis contained
stipulation that miners should be re-
stored by the agreement to the status
of October 81, when the general strike
began. This. he said, precluded sepa-
rate action in Kansas on the central
strike.
The mo beer, no work" strike con-
sisted Of some mass meetings of min
ers in parts of the field and the adop-
ton of resolutions protesting against
the Kansas bone dry law which de-
MED miners the right to keep beer in
their homes,
Two or three locals took this sort
of action and some of the miners re-
fused to work for a short time. Their
action never was sanctioned by the
district officials of the union. One
occasion when a mass meeting was
held to protest against the bone dry
law Howat made speech advising
the men to keep on working and tell
ing them that they would be better
off without drinking. This speech was
widely heralded as Howats "prohibi-
ton speech"

lative appropriation. This item
amounts to nearly $4,000. Expenses
directly connected with the receiver
ship, however, will be taken care of
thru the sale of coal. Elimination of
retailers profits is producing a fund
sufficient to meet added expense of
state operation.
No Word From Operators.
Governor Allen stated at noon to-
day that he had received no word from
the operators. He anticipated, how
ever, that a request would be made
for early return of the properties.
Such action may not be opposed by the
governor when the state production
reaches a point where there is assur-
ance that all expenses have been met.
Thru the governors office the state
has given consignments this week for
the shipment of 254 cars of coal to
Kansas. towns. Under the present
standards of operations orders equal
to the total tonnage for the first half
of the week have been placed.
1t is the belief of state officials and
receivers that production in the Craw-
ford-Cherokee field will reach 200 cars
a day the last half of the week. In
spite of the fact that the union mine
workers returned to their jobs last
week, Mondays production record was
but forty cars-a very slight increase
over production by Governor Aliens
volunteers.

ITALIANS IN FIUME'
Gabrielle d'AnnunzlO Withdraws
Forces From City.
Former Minister of War Fills
POet-Warrior's Place.

Paris. Dec 16.-One of the most
daring and romantic episodes in his
tory has ended with the withdrawal
of Gabrielle d Annunzio from Fiume
and the occupation of that city by
regulars, a Rome dispatch reported
today.
The poet-aviator- -dictator's with
drawal followed an agreement reached
by him with Premier Nitti. it was said.
The Italian troops occupying the city
were commanded by General Caviglia,
former minister of war.
D'Annunzio. at the head of a hand
full of adventures. occupied Tiume on
September 12, ostensibly in violation
of orders Of the Italian government.
Italy made half-hearted efforts to ex-
pei him. but as fast as military or
naval detlchments were sent against
the poet, they Joined his forces until
within a short time he had a formid-
able contingent
The poet-aviator grandiloquently
announced it was his intention to an
mex the entire Dalmatian coast and did
go SO far as to occupy several impor-
tant cities. At first, Italian popular
sentiment was Overwhelmingly in
d'Annunzio's favor but his activities
soon created an international situation
that became embarrassing to Italy and
sentiment veered against him.
At the recent conferences in London,
the Adriatic question was discussed
with Italian Foreign Minister Scialoia.
It was understood &e was presented a
memorandum. which he was tc place
before the Italian cabinet. The Ques-
ton was then to be definitely settled
at a resumption of the conferences in
london after Christmas.

Gerard VIII Be Democratic Candidate
II Third Term Is Sidetracked.

New York Dec. 16.-James w.
Gerard, formerly ambassador to Ger
many, announced today that he would
not be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for president, if President
Wilson should seek a third term.
He has so telegraphed to friends in
Sauth Dakota, where a minority DEM
ocratic nomination petition has been
filed in his behalf. The filing of the
petition. he said, was merely a pre-
cautionary measure so that he would
get South Dakota's vote on the first
three roll calls in the national con-
vention if President Wilson should not
run again and if no other minority
petition is filed. The state Democratic
proposal meeting, indorsed the presi-
dent for a third term.

today by Union Pacific railroad Off
Gals that seven cars of Colorado coal
are on the way to Topeka. Five more
cars have also been shipped from

The fuel situation today was look
ing brighter and if the proper econ
omy is practiced there will be ample
coal to meet domestic needs. altho the
city is still depending upon the rail-
roads The ten cars of Arkansas slack
have been distributed to industries
with resultant relief. altho steam
plants are not in as good shape as res
licences at the present time. About
rs tons of wood remained to be de-
livered from the city wood yard. after
which the wood committee will sus-
pend operations.
