BEDTIME STORIES
ice boat beside the rabbit.
By HOWARD E. GARRI
Copyright 1888 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)

ice boat beside the rabbit.
Il have been over on the other
side of the Duck Pond visiting Mrs
Wibblewobble, the duck lady. she
explained. II knew the ice was very
slippery, so I didn't cross on it. l
walked around the edge of the
pond. But that took such a long
time that on my way home
thought l would cross on the ice
instead of going the long way
around. But when l got started 1
slipped and stumbled SO much l
didn't know what to do. Then 1 saw
you and called to you. hoped you
would give me a ride home"
which 1 am very happy to do, =
said Uncle Wiggily politely. Now
sit tight. for the wind is blowing
harder and we are going to sail
very fast in my ice boat
So Mrs. Twistytail sat tight and
the wind blew hard and away whiz-
zed the ice boat. And then, all of a
sudden, right in front of it, Uncle
Wiggily saw hole in the ice where
the black open water showed.
oh, we're going to plop into that
hole and we'll be drowned" squeal-
ed the pig lady. "Oh, we are in such
danger!'
Not if we jump in timel' shout
ed the rabbit. quick! Mrs. Twisty-
tail, jump out on the ice. I'll do the
same. Let the boat goi"
Together the rabbit gentleman
and the lady pig jumped off the ice
beat and only just in time. A mo-
ment later it plopped into the wa
ter through a hole in the ice. The
rabbit and the pig slid on the ice,
almost into the hole themselves, but
managed to stop on the edge. Then
Mrs. Twistytail sat up. She and
Mr.. LongearS were out in the mid
die of the frozen pond.
And how shall l ever get home|'
grunted the lady pig. Il never can
walk all the way across the ice"
III find way" said Uncle Wig
eily. Trust mel" And what hap
pened next I'll tell you tomorrow
night in the story of Uncle Wiggily's
skates. But please don't let the
fountain pen wash the face CT the
clock.

AL KIN RIDE

Reports that Al Kalin, director of the
Imperial Irrigation District from the
Brawley division, might be holding his
office illegally, assertedly because he is
not property owner within the limits of
the district, have been causing amused
chuckles to friends of the director.
The reports, started by indefinite per-
Sonages. for an undefinable but guessable
object, caused an investigation which
proves the allegation to be without found
alton.
BY virtue of his holdings in the land
company of which he is head, Mr.. Kalin
mas for years been indirectly a taxpay-
er and landowner in Imperial Valley To
safeguard himself against any such con-
tingency as might arise from rumors such
as the present one, he acquired piece of
property in Brawley when he was ap-
pointed director by the board of super
visors, thereby doubly clinching his right
TO hold his office.
Though his appointment was greeted
with delight by all when it was made, it
Is well known that his presence on the
board is not wholly satisfactory to some
who prefer to keep the affairs of the dis
trlct on political rather than a business
basis. Mr.. Kalin is businessman and
not a politician and considers his office
of director as something to be handled
as he would handle his own business.
This, of course, is rank heresy to the po-
liticians and would-be politicians.
The thinly yelled desire to dump him
overheard on technicality, has fallen
flat. They fell as flat as the rumors he
was to be removed because physical dis
ability prevented him from attending
number of board meetings.
That horse over in Arizona had COM
paratively easy time dumping Mr.. Kalin
Those who think they can follow the ami
mails example and play horse with him
will have to guess again. He is very much
in the saddle and knows how to stick
there
We have it on pretty good authority
that Mr.. Kalin started the Civil war.
Maybe the politicians can get him on that
one.
Many happy returns of the day, Mr..
President.
Oh oh, and oh, are we going to have all
that Aimee stuff again?
Can you imagine Queen Mary hitch
hiking? And on a brewery wagon at

which adds to the laugh.

far shore of the Duck Pond. On
shore, which was covered with snow,
the pig lady could walk very we'll,
but when she tried to run on the
slippery ice that was another story
Wait! Wait for mel she cried
please Mr.. Long" but that was as
much as she could say then, for, all
of a sudden, she fell down and the
remaining words were bounced out
of her mouth, sounding like Jug
wug- -blub-dubl"
"Oh, dear, hope she isn't hurt!'
exclaimed Uncle Wiggily. He could
tell, by the way Mrs. Twistytail had
been running after him and slip
ping down that she would never
catch up to him. So he said:
Stay where you are, Mrs. Twis-
tytail. will sail my ice boat back
to you and pick you up. Stay where
you are!"
We'll it will be a comfort to dc
that" she grunted. II have fallen
down so often that I must have
made a lot of dents and holes in
the ice. It's good thing I'm fat!'
she said, laughing.
Il guess So" agreed Uncle Wig
gily. But stay where you are. I'll
pick you up The wind was blowing
strong and he steered his ice boat
around and headed for the pig lady
who was lying on the ice like a roll
of bologna sausage. She had on SO
many clothes and she was so fat
that she did not feel the cold ice.
Lying there, Mrs. Twistytail look
ed across the ice and saw Uncle
Wiggily and his boat WhiZzing to-
ward her very fast.
j Don't bump into me, Mr.. Long
ears!" she grunted
mo, 1 won't he promised, and
he didn't. He steered the ice boat
close up to the pig lady and then
he lowered the sail like a window
! shade so the wind could not blow
on it. And having nothing to blow
on, the wind let the ice boat stay in
one place until Mrs. Twistytai
could get up and sit down in the

and Joe Savoldi use everything but
brass -knuckles and machine guns
in their wrestling bout at the Chi

and laid down the following rules:
|. Savoldis drop-kick is barred,
but the flying tackle will be pre-
mitted.
2. The rabbit-punch is barred but

UNCLE WIGGILYS DANGEROUS
SLIDE

Uncle Wiggily. who was scooting
and whizzing over the frozen Duck
Pond Ocean in his ice boat, had
heard some one shouting to him.
Wait for me- Wait for mel"
The rabbit gentleman had looked
around to see who was shouting, as
I told you in the story last night.
For it might be one of the Bad
Chaps wanting to have an ice boat
ride with mel thought Mr.. Long
ears.
But when he looked he saw Mrs.
Twistytail, the fat lady pig, who was
trying to run across the ice to-
ward him.
Now, as you know, it is harder for
a pig to walk on ice than for any
other animal. The pigs feet are so
small and hard. even with shoes on
tand Mrs. Twistytail wore shoes, for
she was very polite, that when on
the ice they do more slipping, slid
ing, stumbling and tumbling than
anything else.
That's just what Mrs. Twistytail
was doing as she ran after and
called to Uncle Wiggily in his ice
beat. She had started out from the

TOXIC, July 16.-Confronted by
the governments admitted indecision
concerning Japan's program at the
1885 Naval Conference, IS Of the
navy's highest officers held an official
but secret conference here today.
The officers gathered from navy
bases and fleets throughout the en-
pire.
After a four-hour meeting partic-
ipants declined to disclose proceed
ings, but vernacular newspapers with
a unanimity indicating official in
spiration said the conference agreed
on fundamental policies the navy will
demand the government follow IN
naval negotiations with other coun-
tries.
These policies were stated vaguely
by the newspapers, which avoided
specific mention Of tonnage parity
and abrogation of existing treaties.
But they discussed drastic revision
of the existing 5-5-3 ratio or aban-
donment of the present scheme of
limitation and asserted Japan's right
to be considered an equal to other
naval powers.
Prince Fushimi Presides.

staff, presided at the meeting.
Others present included Admiral

members of the Supreme War Coun-
Gil, commanders of fleets and naval
bases and ranking admirals of the
general staff of the naval Office.
Navy men have actively pressed
upon the government demands for a
firm stand at the 1885 conference and
repeatedly were dissatisfied with the
appointment of Admiral KeiSuki
Okada as premier recently because he
is considered moderate.
According to the vernacular news
papers, Foreign Minister Koki Hirota
is most unwilling to agree to the
navy representatives desires.

ence on parity with the United States
and Great Britain.
The newspaper Asahi stated that
five basic points were agreed upon at
today's conference. These were said
to be:
l. Abandonment of the ratio meth
cd of armaments limitation.

HOUSTON, Tex, July 16.-The roar
of gunfire on the water front, leaving
three men dead and three others
wounded, created a tense situation to-
day in Houston's dock labor troubles.
The outbreak occurred as 20 col
ored independent longshoremen were
riding to work yesterday. A coupe,
which police believed carried members
and sympathizers of the International
Longshoremen's Association, drew
alongside and pistols and shotguns
poured a stream of lead into a truck
and a motor car occupied by the men
