dreadful lesson, the lesson Of not be-
ing too trustful Of any one. Our
former old leader had been wise, but
he had led us into terrible trouble
because he had been mislead by those
whom he trusted"
OF course Honker meant the decoys
He stopped for a minute and looked
fondly at Mrs. Honker. They had
been together many years and made
the long journey many, many times
Among all the flocks there was no
one wiser than Honker, but Mrs. Hon
ker was just as wise. They had ac-
quired wisdom together.
so We did our own watching for
danger and often when We were sus-
picious that things were not as they
should be we Jagged behind and cir
cled again after the others had set
their wings to alight Twice this prob
ably saved us. for twice the unseen
terrible guns killed several. The Sec

killed, and there were only three or

1T was then that your father be-
came a flock leader" spoke up Mrs.
Honker proudly. He led those of us
who remained alive. Some from other
flocks that had been broken up joined
us and he led us safely through. How
ever, when we got to the nesting
grounds there were many without
mates. We no longer have to fear
those terrible guns in the Spring. but
they are still our one great danger
on the long journey at this time of
year Watch your father. Do as he
does. Obey him in every little thing.
Thus you will learn from him what
you could learn otherwise only from
experience, and you probably wouldn't
live long enough to get much of that"
I'VE will do as you say!" cried all
the young Geese.

Bedtime Stories
Honker's Dreadful Lesson.
: BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Aome knowledge that we need to gain
We must obtain throush fright and pain
s-.s.g -Honker the Goose.
~ YoNKER THE GOOSE had told
- the story Of the dreadful
thing that had happened
- i when he and Mrs. Honker
had started for the Sunny South with
their first children. and how all OF
the children, and all the rest OF the
flock of which they were members,
had been killed, all but themselves.
Others of their own kind had be-
trayed them, decoying them down to
-a-pond where terrible guns were hid
den. They had themselves been hit,
but not seriously hurt.
- "Tell us what you did then," begged
one of the young Geese in the big
fiock of which he was now the leader.
They were at the time resting in the
pond of Paddy the Beaver, deep In
the Green Forest.
=. II nearly died Of fright" spoke up
Mrs. Honker.
And we both nearly starved to
death because we were afraid to visit
familiar feeding places, even when we
saw other Geese feeding there, and
of course we didn't dare go to places
with which We were not familiar. It
wasn't until we discovered that after
the coming of the Black Shadows
there was little danger from the ter
rible guns that we could rest or eat in
any comfort. Even then while one ate
the other kept watch. So at last we
reached the Sunny South and place
where we were fairly, but not wholly,
safe from terrible guns.
What do these terrible guns look
like?" asked young Goose. How
will we know them when we see
them"
You are more likely to hear them
than to see them" replied Honker
''They are like sticks. from which, in
the hands of those two-legged crea-
lures called men, come flashes of fire
and a great noise and something
which kills or hurts at long dis
tance. They are very dreadful things
You will have to learn about them
from experience, the experience OF
seeing what they do to others rather
than to yourselves, hope.
I'm the Sunny South We found ac-
quaintances We had known in other
f1ocks in the Far North" continued
Honker. "and all had the same dread
full story to tell. They had seen their
children or their parents or their
mates killed. Some had been badly
hurt themselves and had been long
time getting down there. When in
Spring we started back for our home
IN the Far North your mother and ]
found another flock under a wise old
leader, but We did not trust him alto
gether. You see, we had learned a

''',RIFFRAFF'' IS HARL0W'S FINEST FILM
 4l I'LL
Spencer Tracy Is Starred with Blonde Star in
 Capitol Picture

Jean Harlow has never displayed her versatility as an actress to bet ter advantage than in "Riffraff,P ' which opened yesterday at the Cap itol Theatre.
 Teamed with her for the first time is one of Hollywood's finest actors, Spencer Tracy, and the two miss no opening to get the most out of the powerful and sweeping story, which mixes the most hil- arious comedy with the most touch ing pathos.
 The story of "Riffraff" invades a brand new locale, the commercial fishing fleet that plies the waters of the Pacific off Southern Cali fornia. Much of the story takes place in a fishing village adjacent to a great California metropolis community affiliated with the city, yet entirely separated as though in a different world. There the fishermen and their families live their lives, and work out their destinies without contact with out side influences.

Horoscope 'sThe stars incline
 but do not compel'
SATURDAY AUGUST 8 1886.

SATURDAY AUGUST 1886.
 Many conflicting planetary in- fluences are discerned in the horos- cope for today According to as- trology benefic aspects dominate.
 In the morning it should be lucky to seek employers especially if they are heads of big business. There are appointments awaiting men who are highly trained and tall ented.
 Good news of various sorts are forecast as the week closes. This should be a fortunate date for workers and farmers too, should benefit to a certain degree.
 Women are subject to the best possible direction of the stars, but they will benefit most by following distinctly feminine interests. It is an suspicious date for entertain ing friends.
 Weddings under this configura- ton are likely to be fortunate. for love will prevail. Many sudden quarrels, however, are foreshadow- ed
 Accidents are presaged under this planetary government which seems to cause reckless driving, swim ming and flying. Deaths will be many this summer despite safety first precautions.
 Evening hours are favorable to large assemblies of men and wo- men Political speakers, orchestra leaders and actors in stock com panies should benefit. Mining, real estate, shipping of liquids, iron molding and sports, which will be greatly stimulated until late in the autumn, are all subject to sudden fluctuations due to unusual events and unexpected circumstances.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fairly good luck. but speculation will be un- fortunate. Elderly friends will be helpful and their counsels should | be followed.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly clever. Many subjects of this sign have talent as writers or leaders.
 Sara Teasdale, American poet, was born on this day 1884. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include Cornelius R. Agnew, physician, 1830; Charles A. Dana, journalist, 1879; Henry Fairchild Osborn, scientist, 1857 Copyright, 1936)

ITO BEAT THE
 BAND" OPENS
 HERE TONIGHT
Hugh Herbert and Helen Frederick Match Wits in
 Dizzy Coliseum Comedy

Funnymen Hugh Herbert teams with Helen Broderick, beloved Broadway commedienne, in the smash musical comedy ITO Beat the Band" now at the Coliseum. Herberts twittery brand of comedy proves perfect foil for the Brod- erick droneries and deadpan ex- pressions. The result-a bedlam of comedy.
 Herbert, a "fuddy duddy' bach elor, is informed that his eccen- tric old aunt has died and left him $59,00O000 The situations which arise from attempts to block Her bert from receiving this handsome piece of change, provide one of the most sparkling shows of the sea son.
 Conniving against Herbert with Helen Broderick, are dance band maestro, Fred Heating, and mem bers of his orchestra, and even Herberts own blundering butler Eric Blore, than whom none can blunder or "buttle" better.

Forgetting, for the evening, their Emily Post on how to act the per feet host, the clouting Moose base ballers, last night punched out elev- en solid bingles to take an eleven to three win over the visiting Com psny F team from Chilkoot Bar racks.
 Morgan and Rogers split the mound duties for the locals and held the soldiers to two hits off each of the chuckers. The Army team was handicapped by the ab- sence of their top hurler who was unable to accompany the team to Juneau, and it was in the pitching that the greatest margin of diff ference between the two teams lay.

 Gather McNalley of the visitors appeared one of the most likely re- ceivers to show here this season combining fine work with the bat and fine work behind the bat to turn in an excellent all around per- formance. It was McNally's dyna- mite double to left in the fifth frame that drove home the first two h%Suy counters.
 Secondbaseman Hakkinen also looked good in the field.
 Rogers, Grummett, Werner, flaw kins and Fritz Schmidt were the big guns of the Moose offensive; Schmitz and Grummett hitting homers and each of the others col lecting two bingles. Forsythe got on base all four times up, twice on walks, once on a single, once on an error and crossed the plate all four times to score the most runs Forsythe also made a beautiful stop of a line drive in the second to turn a hit into a double play and a possible triple killing if the ball had not been juggled at third.
