L beasts of the menagerie when
Major, the elephant, begged Judge Owl
to stop spanking him.
'I guess you've learned that it
doesn't pay to be jealous" hooted
Judge Owl to Major.
Yes" trumpeted Major. ''I'll be
better elephant after this"
"Well, then, as you're going to be a
better elephant, you can still be lord
of the menagerie," hooted Judge Owl
generously. II make you lord chief
policeman, with all the other elephants
as your helpers"
'Hail, lord chief policeman" trum-
peted the elephants.

howled the animals-all except the
tiger. who was still angry at the duck

Coward, you are afraid of the OWL"
snarled the Royal Bengal.
Judge Owls quick ear heard the
taunt.

to Jowett to go on.

They circled around him and drew closer
and closer. but it wasn't until he found
himself caught tight in sudden lam

he was mad all over, but he couldn't

THE PROBLEM OF THE NEW
RESTAURANT
Mouth Watering Advertisements

A FTER much talking and planning, it
"A was finally agreed to offer four
special lunches and six special dinners.
One lunch was to consist of soup, fish,
two vegetables and coffee, to sell for
fifty cents. Another was to consist of
soup or fish and meat, with two vege-
tables and coffee, for thirty five cents,
while the fourth was made up of soup,
fish, meat, two vegetables and coffee,
for seventy five cents.
In addition to that two or three spe-
cial desserts were to be offered as ex-
tras. The two ladies seemed quite
pleased with the plans, and, think,
were much heartened by having Duke,
Betterly and me to help them.
Talking of dessert" Miss Elan in
terposed, twill you gentlemen try my
"pet?" She smiled and showed those
two deep, attractive dimples of hers.
Il don't know what it is, but-yes,
please" BetterIy said heartily. OFF she
hustled and returned with three ice
creams, whereat Miss Howarth said:
Every day she insists on making her
macaroon ice cream--she thinks there's
nothing like it !"-
WELL jealous" Miss Elan laughed.
at goes every day-every bit of it."
That ice cream was wonderful. BEST
ice cream this side of heaven" was
Betterly's comment. 1t was rich,
creamy and well mixed with grated
macaroon. On the top of it was placed
small pieces of macaroon and over the
lot little whipped cream. 1t looked
as delicious as it was.
II must tell you," Miss Howarth
said, giving funny little smile to Miss
Elan, that that ice cream is not our
only speciality. / have one!
"Yes, please" broke in the irrepres-
sible Betterly.
"Yes, please, what?" Miss Howarth
quizzed.

Excuse him, Miss Howarth," Duke
said gravely, "he's not used to good
food and it's gone to his head"
mot my head" Betterly said.
MY speciality began Miss How
arth ,hurriedly, 'is apple pie-English
apple pie.'
Miss Elan had left us unnoticed and
now returned with three pieces of the
famous pie.
II never saw pie like this before" /"
| said, then l ate some. II never
tasted any as good as this, either! ~
1t was apple pie baked in n very deep
dish, without any bottom crust, but a
top crust only. That top crust was of
apples were cooked Tor baked or what
ever is done with them) to perfection,
and had wonderful flavor new to me.
What is there in this pie that gives
it such an unusual flavor!'
"Ah, that's telling" Miss Howarth
smiled, 'but I'll let you into the secret.
There are few cloves and dash of
sherry wine in it which gives it that
flavor"
Betterly took out his note book and
began to write rapidly: Every now and
then he paused and ate some more pie.
We all watched him, amused, until at
last he said:
II suggest an advertisement like
this:

Oof! Ouch" trumpeted Major Back
came the circus wagon, and then wham,

Finally when Major got the sixth big
spank-one that caused him to grunt

"Who is the ruler of this menagerie?"
And Major trumpeted at the top of his
voice: You are, most noble Lord Owl !
Stop your spanking I've had enough !"

eyes. His voice became soft and per-
suasive. 81 would put the past behind

said. "I shall be chief over all the

For an instant he hesitated, then
with a muttered oath, sprang out into
the bracken, and was presently lost
among the trees.
For a long time she sat in the door

filed with tears. She felt a cloud of
trouble closing in upon her. At last
there was the sound OF footsteps, and
a moment later Gabriel Druse came
through the trees toward her. His
eyes were sullen and brooding.

lowing reply: "This is to set the
public right. In one of the daily
papers Tuesday evening, it was stated
that the molders were not on strike.
Such is not the case. Our grievance

that date a new one was presented,
calling for Sc for an eight hour day.
This has been hanging fire since that
date. Representatives from interna-
tional- headquarters have visited the
city several times, and the matter was
referred to the War Labor Board in
November. Becoming tired of con-
tinual postponement it was decided
to force action, consequently a strike
was decided upon.

RAILROAD SHOP EMPLOYEES

Friday was a fitting advertisement
for ducks. However, through the twi-
light showers the rank and file of 438
assembled and the meeting opened
with unexpected numbers. There
was also a most pleasant surprise for
the venturesome members, as Presi-
dent Reed who has been suffering
from illness, was seated near his sta
tion with his smiling friendliness burn
ing brightly. The president begged
tc be excused from the brewing act
ivity, and Vice Sparrowgrove was
elevated to direct the evenings enter
tainment.
In due order the roll was called and
the regular duties were disposed Of.
The minutes of the last session were
approved as read, and at the call for
applicants, two were duly examined
and accepted, and it is worthy of note
that the initiation of one or more
candidates is regular feature of
each meeting of 438.
Several interesting communications
were presented and received imme-
diate consideration. The local by
laws were given the second reading,
after which came some dephtful de-
bates for the good of the craft and
several important motions were
adopted.
Added to the tenseness of the mo-
mentous subjects was the sad fact
that President Reed, our delegate to
the convention at Washington, D. c.,
would be unable to venture upon that
mission, and alternate W. L. Winters
received our endorsement for a sue
cessful voyage. Delegate Winters
was also provided with data that will
enable him to cooperate with the
convention forces in the measures
that are to be promulgated there. In
view of all that has been accomplished
during the passing months, the COM
ing should meet with some success as
the greatest opportunity is now at
hand, and all will await the delegates
return with some real live sure enough
news. So turn out boys on May 23rd.

LIMIT TO HIS PATRIOTISM

Washington-At a recent confer
ence of Labor officials from various
states, which was held in Washington,
a representative from the West told
of a manufacturer who asked for a
permit to work women employed in
his factory ten hours a day, when the
state laws set the limit at fifty-four
hours week.
~ have invested thousands of dol
lars in Liberty Bonds and War Say
ings Stamps" said this manufacturer.
81 am doing all possible for the war
My plant is engaged on Government
contracts, and it is imperative that l
should be able to run the extra hour
a day."
"YOu make your plea from purely
patriotic reasons?" asked the Labor
official.
Absolutely on that ground"
"Then, of course, you will be willing
to give the profits earned by this
extra time to the women workers.
The law is for their protection, and
the extra money would enable them
to command help in their homes ana
otherwise ease the strain of long
hours"
The manufacturer turned on his
heel and went away without pressing
his patriotic" claim.
