BURNING BOB WHITE

Bob Whites Brother answered the
call Of Tinker Bob nfst because he was
familiar with it. You see, all Of this
time the King Of the Forest had been
talking with the King of Bird Heaven
and had found out a great many
things that Box White did not know
himself.
you must be careful" said Tinker.
"or you will not be able to 20 back
to the Forest" Perhaps Bob White
did not tell you"
What have I done?" asked the
poor fellow, thinking he had done
something terrible against the rules
Of Bird Heaven. do tell me what 1
have DONE"
ut isn't what you nave done that
is seriously wrong" said Tinker, but
you are eating Of this food of Bird
Heaven, and the King told me that
anyone eating too much of this food
could never return to the . Great
Forest"
"Oh King, I do want to return to
h Forest for I want TO- tell all Of my
friends about this wonderful place
where there is no one to do you harm
And, greatest of all, I'm so glad to
see that all the birds like each other
and there is no such thing az fight
ing. Even Bob White, my own dear,
brother, has forgotten what it means
to fight"
lust then there were some servants
came along carrying something be-
tween them on a stick. Tinker Bob
did not know what it was and neither
did Bob Whites brother. But the
King of Bird Heaven said: -.
These. are some of my servants.
They getting ready to give Bob
White back his old body when they.
have cleansed it. You see, it has to be
scleansed by fire before it is fit for
Bird Heaven. Then when he has his
own body back again. he will enjoy
still more things than he ever thought
off,
Tinker Bob and Bob Whites broth
er followed the servants that they
might see just what was going to take
place. In Bird Heaven the King is
very kind and allows everyone to do
as they want. as long as they are good,
for there are no secrets here. The
Servants went to the furnace fire. The
flames seem to come from nowhere,
and when they put the old body Of
Bob White into the fire, the ashes fell
into 9 box.

CHANGE MARRIAGE
RITUAL, SAYS DEAN
Believes Mutual Society, Help,
and Comfort Should Be
Placed First.

LONDON, nay 22-.-'rdutna Al society.
help and comfort 81 ould be the rea-
sons for marrying. and the order of
causes in the marriage service should
be changed"
This is the startling announcement
of the Dean OF Canterbury, and. while
the proposed changes have aroused
much criticism in religious circles. .
large number OF prominent clercS
are in favor of the proposal.
THE causes for which matrfmony
was originally ordaine ed" states tbs
dean. "were. first. as a remedy against
sin: secondly, for the procreation OF
children, and, thirdly. for the mutual
help and comfort of tho opposite
sexes / am of the opinion that this
should be changed: that that which
stands third should be placed hrst:
that that which stands nrst should be
second. and that that which stands
second should be third"
These proposed changes would
place marriage as a means to mutua
comfort and assistance in the hrst
place, children in the second. and a.
a remedy against sin as the last no
| cessity.
| Among those who gave, their opin-
| ions of the deans proposed changes
! was the Rev. Robert Henry Charles
| canon of Westminster, who said:
when two pure-minded young peo-
pie meet and decide to marry thl
| chief thought in their minds 10 not .
prospective family. The mutual COM
| fort and help OF their proposed asso.
| citation is the primary object they
have in view.
AT the same time, this must not be
| taken as a announcement in favor OF
| the restriction of families. ] am very
strongly opposed to any such restric
| ton, which is generally practiccd by
; the very people who are best qualified
| for family responsibilities.
at must be remembered that II u
not proposed to remove this cause
/ from the marriage service, but only to
put first what l regard as the most
| important 'cause'-mutual help and
| comfort"
The Dean of Worcester added his
| voice to the suggestion, declarins
that the clause embodying mutual
help and society should be placed hrrf
as fulfilling the true spirit OF ths
| marriage union; and the Dean Of Man
| chester said:
II and many others would like to
see an alteration in the second cause.
which cites marriage as remedy
against sin. Instead of that negative
form I should like to make 1t read
, positively as a recognition and sancti-
| fication of nature"

APARTMENT FIRE
 IN BAY CITY HAS
 FATAL OUTCOME

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-The fashionable Berkshire apartments, at the corner of Jones and Sutter streets, were destroyed by fire on Monday, resulting in the death of one woman, the injury of score of others, and many thrilling escapes from the burning structure.
 The fire occurred at an early hour and found most of the occupants of the building in their apartments in bed. And by the time many of them had been aroused, escape by the stairs and elevator was cut off by the flames, necessitating haz- ardous leaps from windows into fremen's nets and spectacular slides down ropes and bed-clothing knot ted together. The scene was. one of the widest excitement, with ten ants crying for help from windows and the firemen trying to reach them with ladders. - -.
 Mrs. Marie Donoho, secretary of the Rebekah lodge, was burned to death, and the injured totaled 32, including roomers and fremen.

MEXICAN RESORT REDUCED ID ASH
 NEAR J. 5. LINE

MExICALI, L. C., Feb. 1.-The famed Owl gambling house, one of the landmarks of the vanishing West. was completely destroyed by fire late yesterday, together with other buildings which formed the immense Owl block. The gambling resort disappeared to the accom- paniment of shots and screams of men and women who were present when the fire started, and who has tened to the scene with visions of rich loot. Three men were shot while they were engaged in an at tempt to rob the gambling tables within the burning structure, and three women were caught within the fall of flames and were severely burned before they could be res cued.
 American firemen came from Cal exico to assist in saving the place, but their efforts were greatly ham, pered by Mexicans, who cut the hose and ran off with the freight ing apparatus.
 The Owl loss is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars.
