G. Lloyd.) Chatterer the Red Squirrel had no hope. He was growing tired and more tired and still more tired as he ran through the tree tops, while behind him came Shadow the Weasel. At last he grew so tired that he felt that he had just got to have a few minutes of rest Perhaps he could fool Shadow. Any way he would try. He ran down to the ground, wriggled his way through a big pile of brush, hurried over to another tree and started up. But Instead of go ing nearly to the top as usual and then leaping across to another tree he ran out on a little dead stub of a branch only half way up the tree and Jumped straight over to the trunk of another tree, where .his sharp claws caught In the rough bark. And as he Jumped, there was snap behind him. Chatterer knew what it meant The little dead stub from which he had Jumped had broken short off close to the trunk of the tree. The first little ray of hope he had had stole Into Chatterer's heart. There would be nothing now to show Shadow the Weasel In which direction he had gone. Chatterer crept into an old nest of Sam my Jay's, where he could watch and rest and get his breath. He didn't have to wait long. A long slim form came bounding along the ground in long leaps. "Chatterer trembled all over when he saw It. It was Shadow the Weasel. Straight to the tree from which Chat terer had Jumped he went and up to the place where the little dead stub had broken off. There the trail ended. Shad ow ran up a little way above and circled wholly round the tree trunk. His nose told him that no Squirrel had been there. Then he returned to the place where the little dead stub had been broken off and looked across to the tree In whloh Chatterer was hiding. Poor Chatterer! He "knew by the look in those fierce red eyes that Shadow wasn't fooled. He knew just where he had gone and he didn't wait to see Shad ow run down the tree and across to the one In which he was waiting. No, sir,'! he didn't wait. He had had a wee bit of rest and a chance to get his breath, and now he started n again headlong as before, with the some great fear clutching at his heart and the little ray of hope quite gone. But that little trick had given him a few minutes in which to rest, and so presently he tried to think of some other trick, though right down Inside he felt that It would be of no real use. This time he tried criss-crossing his' own trail, running back and forth and round and round all over the branches of a spruce tree, said then once more ran on, this time along the ground until he came to a hollow log. He ran in at one end, out at the other, back along the outside of the log and then did it all over again, finally making a long jump from the end of the log off to one side. But - he was so tired that the Jump was not nearly as long as he had meant it to be. Afincf Substitutes Get the Well-Known Round Package "".CAUTION L.

Miss Pearl Stevenson, daughter of Judge and Mrs. It. O. Stevenson, and sister of Mu nicipal Judge John Henry Stevenson, was married Wednesday to Robert Lilly, a well known young rancher of Gales Creek, this county. They surprised their friends. Miss Katherlne Pechln of the same neighborhood, on the same day, was wed to Silas Vermllyea. They will make their home at Dllley, where he Is a successful tradesman, for Bedtime And behind came Shadow the Weasel. He actually grinned when he reached the spruce tree and found the criss crossed trail. It didn't bother him a bit. His wonderful nose led him through every twist and turn Chatterer had made and he knew perfectly well that Chatterer was growing very, very tired. When he reached the hollow log he half expected to find Chatterer there, but when he dldnt he wasted no time. He came out at the other end and then fan In a little circle around the old log with his nose to the ground, Just as Bowser the Hound circles when Reddy Fox has tried to fool him by making a long Jump to one side. In a few minutes he had found Chatterer's trail once more and he knew by the smell that Chatterer was only a very little way ahead. He began to run a little faster. "I may as. well end this chase right away," said he to himself. "I have had all the exercise I need and my stomach is quite ready for that foolish Squirrel rial There he Is in the very next tree!"

TEACHERS AT HUDSON SCHOOL ARE HONORED The semi-monthly meeting of the Parent-Teacher association of the Hud son school was held Thursday afternoon In the hall of the school building. An interesting program was given by the pupils. At a business meeting of the club, held Immediately following the completion of the program, a vote of thanks was tendered ' the teachers in appreciation of their fine work In this respect. The meeting was well attended and as a consequenoe several new names were added to the membership list. Owing to the next regular meet ing date falling on Christmas day, the meeting will be held January 8, at which time the school garden and other work will be taken up. , Against S Imitations MALTED MILK Made In the largest, best equipped and sanitary Malted Milk plant In the world We do not make "milk products Skim Milk, Condensed Milk, etc. But the Original' Genuine HORLICK'S MALTED MILK Made from pure full-cream milk and the extract of select malted grain reduced to powder form, soluble in water.

' . She ipent an hour and a half one morning . in one of Washington street's big Jewelry shops purchasing handsome Christmas gifts for members of . her company and friends In this country and abroad. Her purchase .included seven solid sliver vanity bags, two diamond brooches, three diamond scarf pins, six pairs of diamond cuff links, one solid gold fob, one new patent cigar lighter; one gentleman's itch, one seal fob and one solid gold pencil. In the hour and a half Miss Held spent nearly 11600. Both the shop and the sidewalk were thronged with people, probably 200 peo ple watching the French actress while she selected her gifts. But Anna, so accustomed to being in the limelight, seemed oblivious to everyone. Her only evidence of self-consciousness was her occasional peep into the mirror Inside of her hand bag while she gave her piquant little nose an extra dab of powder. "Miss Held Is a connoisseur on fine Jewelry," declared the Jeweler's wife, who had the honor of waiting on Miss Held. "She has perfect taste and she knows values. I really believe she knew the wholesale price on everything I showed her. If she is the vei'y tem peramental woman her press agent claims, there was no evidence of it in her shopping at our store. She was reasonable yet so Intelligent that It was a pleasure to show her things, then, too, I had an opportunity of seeing some of her own wonderful jewels, for I am sure she was wearing pearls and dia monds worth not less than 1150,000. Everything we sold her that It was possible to engrave bore the name of Anna Held and the name of the person for whom it was Intended. Miss Held announced that she had two more gifts to buy and that if she was on the. coast she would buy them from me, but if she was in New York she would buy them from Tiffany." A FEW SMILES An American motoring through a small Scotch town was pulled up for ex cessive speed. Jj, "SJidnt you see that notice, 'Dead S 1 o w'T" inquired the policeman. "Course I idd," returned the Yan kee, "but I thought It referred to your durned little town!" "Now, boys," said a Sunday school teacher, "I want each of you to sub scribe something toward the mission to the Cariboos. I shall hand the box round, and as each of you will con tribute, you will, I hope, say some ap proprlate text. Now, Charlie, show a good example." A ruddy faced urchin stepped forward, dropped In his coin and observed: "It is better to give than to re ceive." Then another contributed a copper, saying: "Waste not, want not." This was ruled somewhat out of or der, but it was fairly capped by a third youngster, who evidently parted with his penny with extreme reluc tance, for, as ho dropped it into the box, he murmured: "A fool and his money are soon parted." On one occasion a certain narlla- mentary candidate, known as a clever speaker and very effective In dealing with a hostilo audi ence, was address sing a meeting in his constituency. He had no sooner risen and said "Gentlemen" than some one threw an egg at him. Quite unperturbed. he turned to the offender and said. "I was not speaking to you, sir." . , "I say, Reginald, I've forgotten my card case." "Nevah mind, deah boy. I'll lend you some of mine." "But ah the names would b e different doncher knaw." , So they would: what a head you have got, Algy!" Billy, aged i, often called on his nearest neighbor, Mrs. Brown, who petted him a good deal, and usually gave him a couple of her nice cookies. And if she hap pened to forget to pass them out he sometimes reminded her of it. His father learned of this and chlded him for begging and told him he must not do so any more. Last year. Just before Christmas, Billy came home with cooky crumbs in evi dence. "Have you been begging cookies from Mrs. Brown again?" asked' the father rather sternly. "No!" said Billy. "I didn't beg for any. I Just said this house smells as If it was full of cookies, but what's that to me?" Church Notes. Sundav evenlne- Rev. Mr. Fry. of the !

The following .day she had a visitor, who came to say goodbye, as she was moving her home to another city. "I only wish we could find a good home for Toodleums," she remarked. 'We're going to live In a flat, and I can't very well take him with me." "Is Toodleums a dog or a cat?" inquired Ma. "The dearest, sweetest cat you ever saw!" enthused the visitor. It was a long Journey to the other side of the city, and Toodleums did not behave at all well during the trip home. But even Pa confessed that Toodleums was a beauty, and the Jenkins family felt that it had made a valuable addition to Its ensemble. Toodleums was petted and flattered and given the full run of the house when the Jenkinses went to bed. For two nights Ma firmly believed she saw no evidence of it. The third night Ma was wakeful. The gnawing of the rats made her nervous. Slipping into her kimono, she went downstairs to see what Toodleums was doing. Toodleums, ensconsed on the softest cushion on the parlor couch, was obllv ous to the world. He slept like an angel child. Ma rudely awakened him. "You get off of there, and go and catch rats," she ordered, dropping the cat on the kitchen floor. Though Ma went back to bed, she couldn't sleep, and she kept wondering about roodleums. "I wonder if he's back on the parlor lounger she thought. So Ma dipped Into her kimono again and Investigated. Toodleums was sound asleep again on the softest cushion on the parlor couch. "Pa!" commanded Ma, "you get me a rat trap tcfmorrow! That cat isn't any thing but a parlor ornament. Women's Clubs Stephens Parent-Teacher Circle.

The subject under consideration was "Celtic Literature," and it was import ant not only because the ciub is study ing Ireland, Scotland and Wales, but also on account of the deep Interest felt by scholars In tlie subject and the fact that many colleges are adding the chair of Celtic literature to their curriculum.

By Abigail Moore. The carriage of the head as it afreets the line of the throat, the throat mus cles and the throat itself is very Im portant. The Ijlood must reach the head to supply the brain via the neck, and there must, therefore, be no Im pediment to free circulation, as tight, high' collars or neck bands. The throat muscles and nerves are exceedingly sensitive and pliable, and ny-"'trhrture, besides hindering - free passage of air and blood, must cause a protuberance below . or above, as a swelling of the thyroid gland. The present collarless blouse fashion can not be too highly, commended. Certain very simple exercises of the rleck wilt stimulate nerve action and control, and should be made part of the dally routine, not only for a restora tive, but as a preventive. They tend to prevent nervous headaches by relieving tension at the buse of the brain. 1. Drop the head forward very slow ly, then back, then to one side, then to the other. 2. Drop front again, and allow it to roll about on the shoulders as though by Its own weight. 3. Repeat each of the above move ments, using sufficient force so that you feel the pull of the neck muscles. In the second exercise, instead of al lowing the head to roll, twist slowly but forcefully. As well as stimulating the nerves, this will make the muscles of the neck more pliable, so that the carriage of the had will be easier and more grace ful. Take care that the ,head is not thrust forward. In exercising neck muscles, care must be taken not to enlarge further the large muscles at (he -sides of the neck, nor to make those connecting chin and throat stringy and prominent. Try this exercise: Drop the forehead In the hands and force the head back, the head resist ing. Place hands at front of neck and push down with the head, the hands resisting. providing suitable clothing for children whose parents cannot afford to dress them properly for school held a meeting at the end of the program. Clothing suitable for boys and girls of school nge is solicited and should be delivered at room 420, Commercial block, marked plainly, "For the Emergency Commit tee." Someone will be in charge of the room every afternoon. Arrangements have been made' to transfer garments from one district to another, so that they need not be worn in the locality from which they were donated. To Beautify Medford. The ladies of the civic section of the Greater Medford club, in their city beau tiful movement, have distributed 3000 dahlia bulbs free to 600 home owners in the Rogue river valley. The bulbs were donated by members of the club, la belled and directions for planting and care were given to each recipient Next fall a dahlia exhibit will be given at he county fair, and prizes will be offered by the club for those making the best showing.

"Mrs. Durham Talks on Games. Under the auspices of the playground committee of the Oregon Congress of Mothers, a play demonstration was given at the Arleta school Friday after noon. Mrs. Stella W. Durham, assist ant secretary of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, de livered a short address on "Games," and Robert Krohn, director of physical training in the public schools, directed a series of games in which children from the different grades in the Arleta school took part. The games played were selected by Mr. Krohn to illus trate the principles underlying the the ory of physical education through 'play. Mrs. Durham began her address by saying that people engaged In teaching play are frequently asked, "Why Is It necessary to teach children to play? Do not children play by instinct?" In reply to this Mrs. Durham said, "Yes. of course, all normal children play by instinct. To neglect to direct that plav ? ' t ""V: WW V. '4 iiSf Crystal Heme. Instinct is to lose one of the greatest educational opportunities. Our Juvenile courts and reformatories exist largely because of the play instinct being per-, mltted to run riot. The trouble is that while all children instinctively have a desire to play, they do not all know how to play in ways that are beneficial. Children do not inherit specific gamec any more than they inherit a knowledge of how to play the piano or paint a picture. "The games played in the Portland public schools are not selected at bap hazard, but, on the contrary, are he result of years of study by well knowu educators and psychologists. History has been searched back to the earliest records and the world has been traveled over by play educators for the purpose of finding precisely the games best calculated to carry out certain very definite principles. Every game that is added to the curriculum of games and plays now being taught In trm schools, must adhere to one of Ihesn three principles; it must develop phy sical strength, mental alertness or mor al honor. "Nearly all games depend for victory on skill, speed or strength. Surely all of these are qualities that make for" economic efficiency in later life. All games teach certain moral lessons. Children learn in their very first or ganised games to despise cheating, very soon they learn to insist upon fair play, for everybody, and finally , they learti to admire a goodtoser and to look up, to a modest winner. All this has a real value in moral education. Highly or ganized games in which team work Is necessary are encouraged as much for' the fact that th.V taanh Minnnratlnn as for their tendency to develop physl--caL strength. .Rhythmic games and. dances are taught especially for th purpose of developing grace of body . The rythmic games and folk dances have been selected with the, greatest care. The ones used in the, Portland schools have been selected from a list approved by experts In child psychology and all have been used for. New York and other eastern cities."
