Kammy Jay 'la very 'much inclined not to wait. Sammy is naturally sus picious. . Yon will always find that 'people who JO mean things themselves always suspect that everybody else Is ist wstchinff for a chance to do mean things. It Is Just that way, with Sam my Jay, Sammy 'steals every chance j he irets. He just can't seem to help it. I That Is why Old Mother Nature has f made him scream "Thief, thief no tfcut every one else will know that h . steals and be on the watch when he is i about. Sammy seems to find- a great. r rvin nr in BiianrfinE nis neighbors. Worse still, ammy doesn't I Wait to find out If his suspicions are likely to come true. Take the case of Farmer .Brown's Boy. Bammy was a long time . In learning: to believe anything good of Farmer Brown's Boy. Perhaps he was not wholly to blame for that. ,Tou see. Farmer Brown's Boy did make a great deal of trouble for the little people of the Oreen Meadows and the little folks of the Green For st for a long time. He hunted them with his terrible gun snd he set traps for them. That was before he learned know them and to love them. When he did have a change of heart Sammy wouldn't believe it.- No. Kir, Sammy i wouldn't believer It at all at first. It I wssn't until he saw with his own eyes 5 Farmer Brown's Boy take up the traps he1 had set for Old Man Coyote that ho I Iwould dmit that there was any good j in Farmer Brown s Boy, and even thin ', lie 'still doubted. .t r Kvery day Sammy visited Farmer i Brown's dooryard to see what was go In on there, for Sammy la a -born - spy. You know, a spy is one who ! watches other people to find out what i they are doing. Sammy la forever peeking and prying into the affairs of I his neighbors, and this is one reason ( they do .not like him. It was the day after Buster Betir had given the hunter in the Green Forest stub a friht that j Sammy discovered Farmer Brown's Boy hard at work making something. ; With hammer and nails and saw and ' 'plan" he- was very, very busy, and be i -cause every once tn a while he would i look over to the rtrcen Forest or down j os the Green Meadows and smile Sflra J my at once made up his mind that a'l j this work was for no good purpose.

"Are you sure it's a trap?" asked Happy Jack Squirrel." himself, and without waiting to find out if he was right he hurried away to suread the news. "Are you sure it's a trap?" asked Happy Jack Squirrel. "Of course I'm sure. What else would it be?' retorted Sammy Jay, in dignantly. "But who would he be trying to. catch in that kind of a trap?" persisted Happy jack. "I don't know, and care less, as long as it isn't me," replied Sammy. "Prob ably it's you." Happy Jack grinned. "If it is I'm afraid somebody is going to be disap pointed." said he. "What does the thing look like?" Sammy had to admit that when he left it didn't look like nything in par ticular. "It wasn't far enough along for me to see what U will look like, but I'm sure It Is a trap," said he. "What else could it be if it isn't a trap?" This was something that Happy Jack couldn't answer, and Sammy flew off In triumph. And all the rest of that day, when any one doubted his story, he replied just as he had to Happy Jack, and as nobody could answer any better than Happy Jack could no one said a word. Twice during the morn ing Sammy flew up to the maple tree in Farmer Brown's dooryard and with sharp eyes peered down at Farmer Brown's Boy, who was Just as busy as ever. Now and then he would look over to the Green Forest and smile. The following officers were installed; W. M., C. E. Hedged S. W., W. H. Boyd; J. W O. E. Shepard; treasurer, Doy Gray; secretary.

The Loyal Order of Moose of Wood burn are to have a high Jinks and stag party New Year's eve. Dr. C. E. Waiste of Woodburn, chairman of the committee of ' arrangements, was in this city yesterday .interesting the members of the I. O. M. here in the gathering. He secured the promise of the Portland Moose 'quartet to be present. Three boxing bouts are prom ised as super-attractions. . Biff Attendance Expected. The competitive degree work to be put on by Wood lawn and Hassalo lodges of the I. O. jO. F. tomorrow evening will comprise: the first degree, and only Oddfellows In good standing will be admitted. The! Masonic Temple has been engaged because it was real ized that no Oddfellow hall Is large enough to accommodate the throng that will seek to witness the work. Some new regalia and accessories re cently received will tend to make the affair still more Interesting. Special meeting' Required, Myrcia Circle, No 651. Women of Woodcraft, is so rushed with applica tions as to require a special meeting tonight at Arleta to take in candidates. January 5, it is to be judged in the contest with five other Portland cir cles for its ritualistic work. Next story: "What Brown's Boy lJ)oing?" Was Farmer AMERICAN FASHIONS filmy ruffles are set around the wide arm openings. The under bodice mere ly takes the form of a band covering the bust and under arm-sides. A dou ble fold of the dress material should be us:d for this, embroidered two inches below the upper edge with a straight vine and leaf design in silver thread. Turquoise blue taffeta is used for the broad girdle. It is edged around the top with a narrow band of martin or mink. Then, directly over the right hip and caught to the extreme edge of the girdle is a realistic, looking pink rose, from which flutters four stream ers of turquoise taffeta ribbon, two of which are long enough to catch under a second rose near the bottom of the skirt a little toward the left ide. It makes a lovely trimming. The skirt is straight and full, gath ered at a Iiiijh waist line, and edged around its hem with fur. Six inches below the top of the skirt the silver embroidered vine and leaf design en circles the hips, and is repeated again six inches below that. If preferred, the skirt and girdle may be of taffeta crepe de chine or charmeuse, with a corsage of tulle or chiffon, but at present the smart est of the dancing frocks are kept transparent. FRATERNAL NOTES Faying Dues Year in Advance Is an Indication of Good Times. THEATRICAL NEWS David Warfield Receives Warm Welcome at the Heilig Theatre. "The Auctioneer" Still Young'. An old friend came; to the Heilig last evening. It was David Warfield, and Portland's elite assembled itself into a brilliant audience to welcome an actor who stands at the top on the American stage. Mr. Warfield re turned in "The Auctioneer," the ve hicle that 13 years ! ago carried him off the road of uncertainties and into the 'certain realm of great stars. David Belasco has done well to re vive "The Auctioneer." Although Mr. Warfield has had other successes, this first one has not aged with time and disuse. It is as welcome as a friend after a long absence-i to be sure, a bit changed, but only improved and kept abreast of the times, for the wizard. Belasco. has rewritten the text. If there are those who I hold "The Music Master" the favorite creation, it is not that the Warfield art is less In "The Auctioneer," but that the ap peal of the former is greater. The art of Mr. Warfield has be come so big and so flawless that its appeal is like that of music or paint ing. He plays to the emotions. He starts the tear and dries . it with smile. His consumate portrayal human nature In his a of homely way, with NEW PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BELGIAN QUEEN Tj iiriiiioii imi.i mil " i-v-Si1,'',?:-'""'" ) - A. if-- despised one. As the result of a childish prank she Is sent to the reformatory for a year and when he Is pardoned she- returns home only to be driven awav and out into the world to make her fight single handed. In the earlier scenes there are a few brighter mo ments when Miss Clark romps as she did in "Wlldflower." Her portrayal of the brave little girl -who develops from the elfish child is a splendid piece Of work and the fulfillment of the prom ise she gave in her first film. Harold Jxttkwood la Craig, the young artist of wealth and position who plays such an important part in Jean's development. His performance is, as always, capital. The film ia full of good character studies that are aptly bandied by those chosen for the roles. The in terior and exterior scenes have been most happily selected and arranged. The reformatory scenes were taken at the Bedford institution in New xorx. This is the last posed photograph of the queen of Belgium. It shows the effect of the war. While she never was a haavy woman, her face has grown thin since the war began. awkward gesture, halting speech and whimsical smile, is his supreme achievement in the rtfte of Simon Levi, the little auctioneer in whom is min gled pathos and humor, sagacity and generosity, sordidness and idealism. Marie Bates, the original Mrs. Egan, is Mrs. Egan again, and time has touched her and her delightful com edy as lightly as it has the play and Its star. Another player who stands beside Mr. Warfield and Miss Bates is Jennie Moscowitz, who plays Mrs. Levi. She is splendid. 1 She is the solid rock -on which Simon builds, and If she speaks, or if she busies herself about her duties, or if she only stands and listens, she is big In all that she does. . Harry Rogers, the original Meyer Cohen, is playing his old role, as is Louis Hendricks, who appears as Callahan. Tony Bevan, the chestnut vender, is another playing his original role, while out of sight is William Boag. who has always been Mr. War field's stage manager. The cast, indi vidually, is excellent and the scenery is Just, what It should be, for it bears the Belasco stamp. Mr. Warfield will remain at the Heilig all Week and will play three matinees one Wednesday, a special one Friday and another Sat urday. M " . t Acrobatic Turn Is Good. It is quite evident that those who assembled the Pantages bill considered the Imperial Opera company a host in itself, for they have given It no sup porting acts of any quality. The opera company is playing a return en gagement, and at yesterdays perform' ances gave the same delightful enter tainment that it did some months ago. As formerly, the scenes from the grand operats are charmingly introduced by Mile. LeSolr, who also sings. The program Is comprised of a scene from Cavalena, one from "II Trovatore' and the wedding scene and sextet from "Lucia." The aggregation merits the favor it finds. Really the next best act is the open ing offering of the Four DeKoch broth ers, acrobats and tumblers, who were well received. Haley and Haley, the maid and the man, have a mediocre singing act that is helped out by the monk. . Sherbourne and Montgomery are responsible for the dramatic play let, "The Kidnaper," that has little to recommend it. Laddel and Hughes are two men, who. made a good start, but ruined any good impression by a suggestive dance joke and a baby song, both of which should Ue cut out of their act. Character Studies Feature. "The Crucible." the Famous Players' attraction at the Peoples, makes very different demands on the acting of Marguerite Clark than those of "Wild flower," in which she made her screen debut. "The Crucible," by Mark Lee Luther, is the story of two sisters, one beloved By the mother and the other almost hated. Miss Clark Is Jean, the WOMEN'S CLUBS YEAR END !

State Treasurer's Bond to Be Eaised Governor Weat Sends notification Subject to Serlew by the Incoming Chief Executive. Salem, Or Dec. 29. Governor West yesterday afternoon addressed a let ter to State Treasurer Kay advising him that his bond for the year 1915 would be fixed at $500,000, unless the governor-elect shoTild 'otherwise rec ommend. This Is an increase of J150. 000 over the bond at present required of the state treasurer. Inasmuch as $1200 la provided for securing a bond and the old bond cost $1180, Deputy State Treasurer Ryan contended late yesterday that It would be necessary to call a meeting of the state emergency board to create a de ficiency. He believed a new bond would cost $1500. Kay had gone to Seattle on business, Governor West is authorized by law to Increase the state treasurer's bond when the amount of. funds on handWs three fourths of the bond. There are over $1,000,000 on hand now. "inasmuch as the court hag held that the state land board, and not the state treasurer, is the lawful cus todian of the school fund securities, the said securities will not be talfen Into consideration In fixing your bond." savs West in his letter to Kay, "The matter of protecting the fund, through the bonding of its custodian, will fall upon the state land board and that board Is being so advised. "Unless the governor-elect shonld recommend a smaller amount, your bond will be fixed at $500.000 no more than $100,000 to be written by any one surety company." "A world filled with opportunities lies before us and too often we are busy with the petty and paltry things of life." This statement was made last evening by Bishop R. 1. Cooke in nis sermon at the First Methodist church, where a series of "Tear's End Services" Is in progress In this church. "The great work of the world, the great tasks of the kingdom of God, wait for us, and like the fishermen witn whom Christ talked, we are mend ing nets: spending our time In the shal lows Instead of launching out into the deep. It Is a great thing to meet a great soul and get the inspiration which comes from such contact. How much this means In the building of a life. "I remember my feeling when for the first time I gased on the form of the great Gladstone and heard his voice. I can never forget the feelings which surged in my breast when In my student days in Berlin, I saw the old emperor. "These men In the Scripture had met the Master and he had talked with them, and now. a few days later, when he looks for them he finds them mending nets. Can this be applied to the church of this day? What are we to do about lt? An audience of more than 300 was present, composed of the pastors anoT official members of the Methodist churches of the city. These "Tear End 'Meetings", will continue through the week. New years Eve will be de voted to a great, watch nht service tn which many of the local churches of the denomination will participate. Bishop Cooke is to preach ! this eve ning, j V W. A.

Barney, district manager for the Women of Woodcraft, has been traveling in the Willamette valley vis iting tiie different local circles of her organization and helping wherever she could. She says: "Times are good in the small cities and towns of Oregon. Yamhill and Polk counties, where I have been working lately, are certain ly all right. They are good counties, with plenty or good people in them. The farmers all seem to have money. When members insist on paying their dues a year in advance I take it that good times ar with tig. It is a good sign; I am sure of that. I find every where the utmost good feeling and harmony between the Women of Wood craft and the Woodmen of the World. All through the Willamette valley the two orders are holding joint installa tions, socials and dances. Both t$e W. O. W.'s are all right." j Big; Bally t Astoria.
