Mirror Ie Be ePresented
 This Evening

The fairyland kingdom of Sylvana was ruled by a king and queen and on the eighteenth birthday of their daugh- ter, the disdainful Princess Hildegarde, they gave feast and invited the princes from far and near. They were deter mined that on this day their daughter should choose the rich and powerful Prince Goldhalls for a husband. There dwelt in the palace, also, the lovely little Princess Rosamond. niece of the king, and she came to the feast. The princes arrived, and Hildegarde would have chosen the handsome young Prince of Silverlands, but the queen forbade It.. Goldhalls, however, after talking with the sweet little Rosamond, chose her for his bride.
 Then trouble began for the princess The king ordered that she be shut in the Black Tower, and sent for Red Skull, the pirate chief, to carry her over the sea. Lonely, in her dismal prison, she found Magic Mirror, and looking into it she could see the future Jester, and her true friend, came to aid her, and together they devised way to get a message to Goldhalls.
 Red Skull came to carry her away but Goldhalls arrived in time to save her. Rosamond was made ruler of the Kingdom, and generously pardoned the king and queen, and granted Silver lands request that Hildegarde wed him, and 50 the "old, old happy ending"
 In this lovely little play magic gov erns the action. Rosamond, sitting in her dark tower. shut away from her friends. takes up the Magic Mirror and in 1t sees what is happening in the throne room far below the seas. Red Skull and his men rush in and the queen declares that she will lead them to the tower.

 Yes, yes!" laughed the dainty lit tie lady. How droll! My husband says the male stenographers are best because they always know what the letters are about. They can write the letters themselves without troubling the boss to read them"
 Now, there's where your husband is little wrong," objected the west erner. "The men are no more intelli- gent than the women, and they don't know any more about what's going. on around the office, not by mill site As matter of fact. they know a whoop sight less. The average, stenographical man can pull through fine without knowing anything about the inner workings of the office.

BEDTIME STORY

chuckled. Then he signalled Nanny and they tip-toed where they could tip-toe and crawled where they had to crawl until they reached the other side of the pile of old rails, and not once did they make a sound to reach the ears of Black Pussy.
 Danny peeped out. The way seemed clear and he boldly scampered out, Nanny right at his heels. Both laughed as they thought of Black Pussy patiently watching on the other side of that pile of rails. Straight to the nearest fence they scampered, for Danny had learned when he was very young that it is along fences that tall weeds and bushes grow and that grass is not cut, but grows tall and then when cold weather comes falls over and makes a matted tangle under which Meadow Mouse often can travel far without once being seen by watchful eyes above.
 It was a long, long journey they had before them. Danny knew that. It wouldn't have seemed so long to you or me but to such little folks as Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse it was very long journey indeed. So they wisely decided not to hurry too fact. In fact, they stopped to rest very, very often. They would scamper along a few feet, then stop under cover of mass of old dead grass while Danny looked and listened and listened and looked to make sure that the way was clear for the next run.
 It was one of these times while they were resting that there was sudden snuffing sound that sent cold shivers all over them. It was Bowser the Hound who happened along just then and stopped to sniff in the very patch of grass under which they were hiding. You know it is Bowser's way to sniff at everything as he goes along.
 "Quick!' cried Danny, and darted out from under the grass and into a little hole among the roots of tree. Nanny followed and there they panted with excitement as Bowser clumsily tried to dig them out and couldn't, be- cause of the roots. Bowser didn't really want them. He just tried to catch them for the fun of it, and when he found he couldn't he soon gave up and trotted off. As soon as they were sure he was out of the way they started on.
 Presently they came to little open place among the bushes along the fense and Danny started to scamper across. Just in the nick of time he saw some thing that made him turn and run back so suddenly that he ran right into Nanny and knocked her over.
 What is it?" asked Nanny anx- iously. X
 MT. Blacksnake taking a sunbath," whispered Danny. his teeth chatterine with fright. Don't make sound, Nanny, not a sound !'

 When you empty the wash boiler, rub the inside with soap while it is still warm. This not only prevents rusting, but helps to make the studs when 1t is4 filled again the next washing day.
 Socks and stockings, before wash ing, should be turned inside out and well shaken. They retain their soft ness if treated in this way. This also applies to flanunels.
 Drop oceans in boiling water and let stand few moments. They crack easier and the kernels come out whole. F..
 Pour cold water on grease spilled on the kitchen floor and scrape it off with a, knife afterward. Wash the floor with strong soap or lye water. Cold water hardens the grease so that it will not spread and the wood will not absorb it.

 That's a good idea," replied the big, crude man from the west, who seemed to be a sort of leftover from the func- ton and didn't know exactly how to get away. "A pretty stenog is liable to play smash with the old mans com position. I know I couldn't write a very good letter with one of those pret- ty little confections sitting close to me and hanging on my every word. know I could reel off much better letter leaning back in my chair with cigar between my teeth and a mere man taking it down as far off as possible.

 Good night! No wonder you got him a male stenographer. A male stenographer will break a fellow of that kind of dictating quick. When a fellows dictating to a male stenogra- pher he can wander around the room, look out the window, sharpen his knife on the sole of his shoe, open a drawer, take out bottle, pull out the cork, bite cigar ends, start packing his golf clubs, consult his watch, count change and do sleight-of-hand tricks if he wants to, and the male stenographer won't care a whoop."
 "I understand that male stenogra- phers are never taken out to lunch" hazarded the dainty lady, inquisitive- ly. Employers must save a good deal of money in that way"
 "Oh, surew agreed the westerner. "In the case of the female stenogra- pher the average boss is afraid that she's starving to death. He labors un- der the impression that half the time she does not eat at all, and if she does it's only a little chocolate eclair stuff, no more nourishing than the powder she puts on her nose. So he thinks if she once in a while gets outside some real eats, such as roast beef medium and boiled potatoes, she'll be stronger than she is now, being composed most ly of paint, powder and perfume.
 But the boss doesn't have to worry about the male stenographer. He eats and the boss knows it. He sees the male stenog grab his hat and beat it without stopping to arrange his hair,

The modern way to lay fine linoleurn floor is to cement it down, not directly to the wood floor, but lining of builders deadening felt, which is pasted to the wood. Then, no matter, how much the wood base expands or contracts in summer or winter, the linoIeum doesn't crack, doesn't stretch: Waterproof cement used at the edges makes them watertight, with practically no visible seams. Such floor never needs rrefirl- ishing or harsh scrubbing. /

WARNS AGAINST RUMORS
Declares Nation Should Give Little
Credence to Daily Crop.

President Coolidge was represented
today as being satisfied that pros

the United States and that the inter-
ests of the public and of the Ameri-
can government are being thoroughly
protected.
In making this known at the White
House today a spokesman for the
President made it very plain that the
latter is anxious to ease the minds of
many of those throughout the coun-
and because that there seems to be a
prevalence of suspicion everywhere in
the air.
The President is anxious to lessen
this feeling on the part Of the public
and to inject a greater feeling of con-

pie should be more careful in giving
credence to the many rumors that are
rising almost daily which under nor
NAL conditions would attract no at
tention.
The facts showing the prosperous
condition throughout the country
were presented at the cabinet ses-
sion at the White House today. These
showed that the business conditions
are reported to be fairly good, that
there does not seem to be any unem-
ployment and that while commercial
orders are not as large as they gen.
orally are. this is understood to be
the result Of policy on the part of
buyers to put off larger orders and
not to buy so far in the future.
However, commodities are finding
a ready market. AS for the building
trades. these figures showed that
there will be much activity during
the coming building season, and that
this optimism will apply also to
textile industries. The boot and shoe
industry is able to dispose Of it's
products as fast as they can be sent
out, and steel and iron are moving.
