Bedtime Stories
The Twins Get Their First Bath
You cannot learn to s1Uin on land,
So 1Oaste no time n, trying.
And If yom keep from getting soet
You'll 1ever need drying.
Mrs. Bear.
BY Thornton W. Burgess

Wonderful days were these for the
Bear cubs, Boxer and Wool Woof.
Every day. there was something new
feel. And then there had to be tucked
away in each funny little head where
it could not be forgotten the memory
of exactly how each of these new
things looked or sounded or tasted or
smelled or felt. Mother Bear was very
particular about this. So, though the
twins didn't know it, they were really
going to school all the time that they
thought they were simply having
good times and wonderful adventures.
One day Mother Bear led them over
to the pond of Paddy the Beaver. How
the cubs did stare when they got their
first glimpse of that pond. The Laugh
ing Brook was the only water they
were acquainted with, and in that
part Of the Green Forest it was mar
row and the pools were very small.
They had not supposed there was so
now lay before them in the pond Of
Paddy the Beaver.
Mother Bear led the way straight to
one end of the dam which Paddy had
built to make that pond. She started
across that dam. The twins followed.
Every few steps they stopped to won
der at that pond. The Merry Little
Breezes of Old Mother West Wind
were dancing across the middle of it
and making little ripples that
sparkled as the jolly Little Sunbeams
Gssed them.
Close to the dam the water was
smooth, for the Merry Little Breezes
had not come in there. Boxer and
Wool Woof looked down. Perhaps you
can guess how they felt when they
saw two little Bears of just their size
staring back at them. The twins wers
SO surprised that they backed away
hastily. The stranger cubs did exact
ly the same thing. This gave Boxer
and Woof-Woof confidence. They
moved forward to the very edge of
the dam and there they sat up.
When they did this they lost sight
of the other little Bears. They didn't
know what to make of it. Then Boxer
happened to look down in the water.
There were the stranger cubs sitting
up and doing exactly as he and Woof-
Woof did. Stranger still, one Of them
was dressed in black and one in brown
and the latter looked 30 exactly like
his sister that Boxer turned to look
ut her to make sure that she was be-
side him there on the edge Of the dam.

Chauncey NJ. Depew is eighty-seven
years old to-day.
Mr.. Depew is taking the event CALM

yesterday that he would not become
really "het up" over a birthday until
he reached the one which marked the
century.

has mastered eighty-seven and can
still smile?
mo, nothing unusual will happen to-
morrow, SO far as my plans are con-
cerned, continued Mr.. Depew. At this
point Mrs. Depew said something. She
had called on her husband in the new
aadmlnistration building Of the New
chairman of the board Of directors.
To Have Birthday Dinner
Don't you think the birthday dinner

prohibition? I can't say believe
in it. I believe in temperance, but
when respectable, not to say distin-
guished, citizens consider it an achieve

something wrong with that law. How
ever, while it is comparatively easy to
add something to the Constitution, it
is practically impossible to remove that
thing. Prohibition is here to stay.

Boxer dropped down to all fours.
The little stranger in black did tho
same thing. 1t provoked Boxer. Like
Hash he struck at that stranger
With one paw. Quick as he was, The
Stranger was as quick. Boxer saw
stout little paw exactly like his own
coming toward him. He lodged. and
as ne did SO his own swiftly moving
1letle paw struck-nothing but water.
It SO surprised Boxer that he lost his
splash.

Woof- Woof was rather better natured
than her small brother. She had no
desire to quarrel with these stran-
gers. Slowly. very slowly, she
stretched her head toward the the little
stranger in brown. The latter did
just the same thing. They were lust
about to touch noses when Boxer fell
in. The splash startled Woof- Woof
so that she lost her balance and in
she went head first with splash
quite equal to that Of Boxers.
It ever there were two frightened
little Bears they were the twins. It
was the first time they ever had been
In the water all over. They tried to
run, but there was nothing for their
feet to touch. This frightened them
still more and they made their legs
go faster. And then they discovered
that they were moving through the
water; they were swimming They
were getting their first bath and their
first swimming lesson at the same
time.

Secret Fund Is Charged
Police Officials Are Said to
Have Clipped In to Get
Measure Passed at Albany
From a stor oorrsspondsrs

ALBANY. April 22.-Word has been
ticipating veto of the Hylan-Enright
detective division bill by Governor
Miller. will disapprove the measure.
The Mayor has nine days in which to
act.
This bill, which legislates hundreds
Of Hylan-Enr1ght favorites into higher
ranks and increases their salaries, was
first introduced here last year. The
civil service element Of the state, led
by all the uniformed police Of the City
Of New York. killed the bill twelve
months ago. This year it was intro
duced irst by Senators G. Ernest Smith
and Maxwell Harris, New York City
men, but abandoned by them when they
were apprised Of the real purport Of
the measure. Then It was suddenly
taken up by Senator Clayton r. Lusk,
of Cortland County.
The Tribune correspondent has been
informed by one of the opponents of
the measure that secret fund was
raised through contributions from
majority Of the Hylan-Enright favorites
in the department, who would be bene-
fitted by the bill. The extent of the
alleged fund was not divulged.
Senator Lusk, in speaking for the bill
on the floor of the Senate, did not an
swer any of the objections of the oppo-
sition, among which was the statement
that the measure was violative Of the
principles of civil service. His argu-
ment was that the New York City de-
tectives should be protected in their
jobs. He told the Senate that he had
introduced the bill at the instance of
two detectives who had helped him
when he was investigating Red activ-
tiles.
Colonel Arthur Woods and others
who are familiar with the workings of
the Police Department have expressed
the opinion that, apart from the inher-
ent wrong in the bill, it would work al
hardship not only on the police force
of New York City but on the citizens
of New York. because incompetent de-
tectives, who had been thrown into soft
never be ousted.

New York, which would terminate the
so-called ambulatory treatment of drug
addicts by prohibiting physicians to pre-
scribe narcotics to be administered by
the patients themselves. The proposed
law would require physicians treating
drug addicts to administer the drug
and only in such dosage and upon such
occasions as the addict's condition may
make necessary. The contention is
that the average addict could not afford
this type of treatment and that it
would restore the old underground
