CHICAGO, Nov. 23.--When a dog

So runs the ancient superstition,
lust how ancient none know.
Recently a stray hound slipped into
the ward of the home of Mrs. r.
Peavey. Out of the shadows of the
fence he made his way beneath a
window-and howled. Inside the
house Mrs. 3. ]. Bulgin, of Portland,
Ore, heard the howl and recounted
to her sister the superstition of the
bowling canine and death.
The following morning Mrs. Bulgin

SKATES? WE'LL SAY.

Roller skates as we'll as ice skates
are always acceptable as Christmas
presents.
The saddest spectacle in the world
is a kid without a pair Of skates
when all the rest of the youngsters
in the neighborhood have them.
That boy can get more pleasure out
of a pair of skates than you can
shake a stick at. If in doubt as to
what 10 give him. go down and get
him pair. You'll see Christmas
morning whether he likes them or
not. 1t is doubtful if you'll see him
any more that day, so tickled with
them will be he.
When we were at a soft-sheled
age, we wanted bicycle more than
anything we had ever heard Of
We waited long and patiently, and
one Christmas Santa Claus came
sliding down the chimney with a
brand new bicycle-a regular wheel,
with CONSIDERABLE n'eveTthing.
Speaking Of grand and glorious
feelln's, oh, boy! We rode that
bike until our tongue hung out,
never even stopping to eat or
drink.
Your boy is just like that. He
wants one so bad that he can
taste it. Many kids in Memphis
have bikes, and go anywhere they
want to at any time they want
to They run countless errands
upon their wheels. They enjoy
it, and at, the same time they are
building up rugged constitutions
that will serve them to excellent
advantage when they get out and
start the uneven battle against
the world.
You can make tremendous hit
with that boy by giving him BIZ
cycle. 1t won't cost you much, and
the investment will pay big divt-
dends. He'll vote that you are
regular guy.
All you have to do is try 1t. It's
a winner.
