GRACE HARPER AGAIN
 AT R. P. Q. E, FAIR

Grace Harper has responded 10 the appeal for a return engagement at the Elks' fair and will repeat her program of classic dances this cve- ming, augmenting the repertoire pre- sented earlier in the week with scv- eral new numbers. Miss Harper made an impression when she first appeared at the fair and favorable comment was heard to such an extent that the committee has persuaded her to accept an invitation to furnish the entertainment tonight.
 The Alpha String orchestra. which played last night, will also repeat" d point that will be appreciated by dancing enthusiasts.
 The "L-4" quartet was the attrac- tion last evening This, versatile troup was called upon for a number of encores and apparently pleased the audience as well as any entertainment furnished thus far The quartet has been asked to fill a return engage ment Saturday night and has ac- cepted.
 The committee reports that last plight was one of the best nights since the fair opened.

 "'rhe judge was discussing it when Sing Loy stood up in the back of the room and claimed me as his wife!
 At first my impulse was 10 deny it. Then 1 saw what Sing J.oy was trying to do for me and kept still.
 The judge and the whole court room was inclined to scoff at the idea in the beginning. Sing was called 10 the front. I think they hoped to make fun Of him, make him as ridicu lous as possible, but when he stepped out. neatly dressed, well groomed and began answering. the judge took him seriously and released me to go home with him..
 "So. that's viz don't resent his calling me his wife" Alice concluded.s

Mstah Mule hadn't been long at Farmer Greens place before he and Johnnie Green became better ae- quainted, Johnnie learned that what ever other faults Mlstah Mule might have, he didn't bite. So Johnnie began to bring two apples 10 the harn.-onc for the old horse Ebon- ezer and one for Mistah Mule. Facing backward in his stall, so that his heels could do no one any harm, Mistah Mule used to munch the ap- pies with a very happy look upon his face. He seemed so friendly that Johnnie Green began to tease his father to let him ride Mistah Mule.
 At first Farmer Green said "No!" But Johnnie could see. no harm in asking him the same question day after day. Johnnie had sometimes known his father to change his mind. And sure enough. at last Farmer Green said. Maybe you can ride the mule some day. But l want 10 ride him first. l want to see if he's s.fe for you"
 Then instead of saying to his father "Will you please let me ride the mule today?" Johnnie began to put this question to him. Wont you ride the mule today, please?"
 It seemed to Johnnie chat his fath- CT had never been so busy. Farmer Green now had hundred things to do, not one of which could wait while he saddled Mistah Mule and rode him. But Johnnie leased so much that Farmer Green finally took the time

GO ON WITH THE STORY

A slight frown crossed Alice's face
 "I don't know just how I did happen to arrive in a Chinese laundry" she said at length. Natural course of cN ents, l guess"
 She paused, then:
 T suppose you've wondered why Sing calls me his wife and why stand for it?
 Its a queer notion of his," she laughed a little. He asked me to marry him the first day I was there. His oriental brain functioned in 8 straight line. l was a woman of mar riageable age, he liked me, marriage was the only obvious and reasonable course. No possible previous en- tanglements occurred to him.
 They're like that, you know, minds.
 "A day came, though. when l was glad Sing Loy's mind had acted in that way. And on account of that day and his part in it let him call me his wife-if it means anything to him. 1 owe him that much at least
 "A number Of years ago, when things weren't going any too well. ] doubled up with woman who'd been on the stage. We shared our money and our possessions. When she was going out shc wore the silk stockings. When l was going out I wore them. That's the way We lived.

TN THE NAME OF THE LAW,

"In the Name of the Law" not a police propaganda picture, but a real drama that extolls the work of the police and at the same time unfolds romantic tragedy that in the end works out to the advantage of all concerned opened at I7ox's this after noon to an appreviative audience. The same cast that appeared in "Tne Third Alarm features. Chief W. c. Hart, after viewing this picture, ex. pressed the opinion that it was of the best police dramas he had seen. It deals with 9 veteran patrolman in San Francisco who, when he believes lils own son is guilty. insists on lis arrest in the name of the law An intriguing plot, in which bank <of. ficlal is implicated, adds to the mys. ter. of the case anl .n the end the audience is surprised at the turn oi events.
 The vaudeville program is a top rcfoh one. Among the various pleas ing bits offered is The Three Ander- son Girls. The Wayne Brothers, one Of the most sensational Of any of The comedy acrobats acts row showing, do some unusually thrilling stunts. The other acts offer good entertainment

Good Manners

When a man and a woman, ac- euaintances, meet on the street, the woman always speaks first. Though they may have been no more than barely introduced, she does not ne- glest to give pleasant, though it may be very transient greeting. To justify her in ignoring any man she knows, there must be some extraordi- narily good reason.

 It is remarkable how many cases have been reported similar to this one. Many mothers are left in a weakened and rundown condition after the birth of the child. and for such mothers the care of the baby is well-nigb impossible. Not only is it hard for the mother. but the child itself will indirectly suffer.
