ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"Who else would you like to see
in Once Upon-a-T Time Land?' asked
Mister Mugs.
Lets 60 to see the Sleeping Beau
ty," cried Nancy.
Jack the Beanstalk!" said
Nick.
"We can't be two places at once,
declared Mister Mugs, $50 we'll go
to see the SleeTng Beauty today
and Jack tomorrow. Come along"
Away went the magic automobile
past seven gardens and througT
seven lanes each seven miles long
and there they were at the pearl
palace of the Sleeping Beauty.
"Tap, tap, tap!" they went on her
front door. @ss@
But there was no answer.
"Tap, tap, tap they went again.
Still there was no answer.
But suddenly they heard a loud
snore from within, so pushing open
the heavy oaken door, in they step
ped.
What a sight met their eyes!
Everybody was aslcep-servants-
lords and ladies and everybody:
A.; swell, l declared" said Mister
| Mugs. "This is pretty kettle of
fish! Why, l thought that when the
prince kissed the Sleeping Beatty
and woke her up, that broke the
charm. When he married her and
+ brought her here to his pearl palace
the story said that she lived hap
PLY ever after"
do you suppose Beauty is asleep
too" asked Nancy.
"If you want to know the truth
said the wicked fairy, suddenly ap-
pcaring, cts just this. l came back
after the Sleeping Beauty married
the prince and bewitched both OF
them, and all their people. ! never
forgot that l was sighted at the
christening. Never! And I'll never
get over being insulted. So now
have put them all to sleep again fol
another hundred years. What are
you going to do about it,"
"Wakcn them," declared Nancy.
"You can't! 1t is magic Sleep
cackled the wicked fairy. "The only
thing that can waken them now Is
hair from the tail Of the iron dot
that stands in front of the Fair!
Queens palace"
With that she disappeared int
thin air, leaving little trail o
smoke behind her.
Suddenly there was whirr O
wings and there stood Silver Wings
the Fairy Queens messenger.
1--WE heard every word" she said
II think it came by radio. And her
is q hair from the iron dogs tail!"
So the three of them tiptoed to tn
room where the Sleeping Beaut
slept and touched her with the magi
hair.
Instantly the whole palace awok
and there was great rejoicing.
And the Sleeping Beauty, and tn

GEMS SPARKLE is SINISTER

And now they say in Washington
social circles that the famous
Hope diamond, bought by Edward
Beale Mclean for his wife several
years ago, is getting in its sinister
work again, as evidenced by the
unsavory tangle into which the
McLeans have been plunged.
Ever since Ned" Mclean bought
the Hope diamond it has brought
him nothing but i'll luck. Since
1868 the Hope diamond has had a
succession OF owners-kings, prin.
ces, famous lords and ladies-and
to all it brought disaster.
The McLeans decided to take the
risk Of purchasing the stone

had a proviso inserted in the con.
tract of sale. providing that il

family, the seller would take back

The six months passed without
incident. Then the sale was con.

With flowers still fresh on the sod,

Your voice is silent, dear Father
I'm your body there is no breath.
Your eyes so loving and tender,
Are closed in the slumber of death.
Your hands so hardened with labor
Are folded across your; breast.
Their earthly toll is over
Now peacefully may they rest.
So farewell, our darling Father,
Your earthly work is Ger.
It's SO hard the parting.

standing firm. It is not likely that
negotiations looking towards settle

while the Seattle unions involved are
making good headway in presenting
their side of the case, and are doing
much damage to the subscription list
of the Hearst organ.
A defense committee composed of

ard Grant for the stereotypers, in a
signed statement assert:
"One of the conditions complained
Of is the limitation of foremen on

LIBERTY AND FREEDOM
BY AUGUST CLAEssENs

NV -
Every now and then some labor
union-hating editor of a big daily
newspaper lets out a yap about 'lib-
erty." Says he, "Trade Unions are a
shameful conspiracy against a work
ing mans liberty. They interfere
with and infringe upon his God given
rights and his inalienable rights as
an American citizen. Unions dictate
how much wages a man shall earn,
how many hours he shall work, how
much work he is to do and how and
under what conditions he is to do
it." The editors are right That's
Just what unions are in business for!
Let's explain why.
What is liberty to one is generally
tyranny to another. Furthermore,
each man has his own private con-
ception as to what constitutes lib
erty. And lastly, the word liberty"
generally means something very spe-
eific to every individual that es-
pouses it.
