with his mother.
The mother was walking along from
the station to the house. II was quite
a long walk. but she did not mind it.
The father Of one Of the boys was
beside her and he was carrying a great
big basket In which were the three
puppies.
Every once in a while he stopped
and the mother dog stopped, too, and
he would let the puppies get out and
have a little run. Then he would put
them back in the basket again, for
their little legs were not strong enough
for the long walk.
The three boys met the three pup
pies and the mother dog. Oh, how de
lighted they werel
The puppies were so soft and furry
and their little bodies were so fat.
Their little eyes looked so naughty
when they were awake, but it seemed
very easy for them 70 go TO sleep, too
One puppy was black and the other
two were brown.
One was named Blaclde and one
was named Brownie and the third was
named Tan.
They took to their new home al
once and the other two boys came
over to see the puppies they would
have in their own homes before long
The puppies seemed to know they
were to have these boys as their mas
tiers for each took special notice Of his
own.
The mother dog was so proud OF
her little soft, warm, furry farllngs
and she loved 1t when they came to
lie down close to her, falling over
each other. not at all steady on their
dear, cunning little legs.
The boys felt proud of the puppies,
too. They could see the days ahead
when the puppies would be full-grown
dogs and when they would go for long
walks and cross-country runs.
But the three puppies did not think
much Of the future. They simply
thought Of their warm, beautiful home.
OF the boys who came to see them and
who seemed so fond of them. of their
mother who loved them and watched
over them, of the pleasant, coy warm
house in which they lived.
And they thought, too. Of the games
they could play-naughty, mischievous
games.
They dreamed sweet dreams when
they slept, but when they were awake
they thought of pranks to play and
frolics with slippers.
1t was such fun to try to get hold
OF things to tearl
They weren't so unnaturally good
that any one worried about their
health.
But they had received a beautiful
welcome in the world and they wanted
to show in return how jolly and merry
they could be.
Even If slipper did have to suffer,
what was that compared to missing
some fun7

Broken joints between the braces
and ribs Of an umbrella can be re-
paired with friction tape, says Popu-
lar Science Monthly. Simply put the
end Of the brace where 1t belongs and
wind tightly with the tape in such a
way that the action Of the Joint will
not be interfered with. The umbrella
then can be opened and closed with
out difficulty and the repair will be
found to last surprisingly well.

They had reached no decision al

be expected before Monday, il then
! AS a matter of fact, the subject
of candidates has become complete,
" submerged in the deluge of klan
discussion.
The McAdoo forces now thor
oughly' aroused by the belief that
the whole khan issue has been east

New Bone Dry
Batteries Are
An Innovation


An innovation in storage batteries
has been announced by the WIZARD
Company in battery which can be
formed and then dried out in such y
wav as to retain the full charge.
This battery, they claim, will reach
tha user in as new q condition as it
left the factory.
The Willard Company describes
the innovation as charged bone dry,
and claims these advantages arc pos
sible only in conjunction with
threaded rubber insulation.
Wood separator batteries must be
formed before shipping and the sep
arators must be wet all the while
they lie idle on the Dealers shelves.
This causes chemical action in the
plates. The wood Insulated battery
therefore begins it's life long before
it reaches the buyers hands. Every
moment so lived before being plac-
ed in service is just SO much life
! lost. ~
The charged bone dry battery, be-
cause it is bone dry, loses none of
its possible life on the shelf. There
is 10 chemical action until the bat
tery solution is added.
This solution is added just be-
fore the battery is to be placed IN
service. No forming charge is ne
.cessary as no chemical action has
taken place while hte battery has
been stocked on the dealers shelves.

continued, until 3 o o'clock this aft

The motion was put in an atmos-
phere of tense sitence. A great
shout-of ''ayes and the recess was
taken. 1t was Cummings, however,
who painted the full significance of
the crisis in the party when he
addressed the convention, saving
the issue before the delegates was
one that may affect the destines

Meantime, bitter feeling is devel

While Cummings was speaking, Ed
Moore of Ohio, leader of the move
ment to name the klan in the reli-
gious freedom plank, promoted an
Indignation meeting in the Ohio del
egation. Word had reached Moore
that the platform committee had
adopted a khan plank in which tlle

He rushed into the halh and burst
into the midst of the Ohio delega-
tion and began denouncing the com
mittee in unmeasureds terms.

STILL GIVING
GOOD SERVICE.
-ffas Been Driven 642, 900
Miles, Right Hand
Drive

When r. G.. Wells of San Bernar-
dino bought q Cadillac touring car
on August 2, 1910, 10 use in his
rent, business, he was quite sure he
had bought good automobile. To-
dav, after he has covered more than
$4,000 miles with the ear, which is
still in regular daily usage, he is
pretty wen convinced that he made
no mistake in his purchase. Last
week<he drove it in to the Don Lee
headquarters Los Angeles, and the
veteran car showed little signs of its
IA years of service. 1t had a new
coat pf 4.ai..+--4he upholstery was in
-excellent condition, and the copper
water jackets of the cylinders were
polished till they shone.
q Everybody around San Bernar-
dino knows the old car, and they
know it in Bear Valley too. The
ear made 93 trips to Bear Valley
last year which is just a sample of
the sort of usage it has had all its
life. Z
II havec driven the ear and taken
care of il myself, and know some
thing about mechanics. 1t has never
failed me once on the road in GAP,
900 miles. j made trip back 70
Denver and Wyoming with sit ii
1912, and there wasn't much cross
country travel in those days. You
get to think a good deal of an auto
mobile after it gives you IA years

trust it than. q new car.

Wells declares that careful lubri-

in the motor all these years, and
bought it myself in the drum. J
think more motors are ruined by
inferior oil than firm any other one
