He has been connected with the Alaska for some time but his promotion to the managership has Just taken place. Mr. O'Neill's first activity in picture work dates back to the time when he was a lecture in northwest vaudeville houses before the film added the title sheet and when It was considered neces- (Copyright. 1913. Old Mr. Toad Disappears. Admit your fault when you've done wrong. And don't postpone It over long. Peter Rabbit didn't blame Old Mr. Toad a bit for being indignant because Peter had watched him change .his suit. It wasn't a nice thing to do. Old Mr. Toad bad looked very funny while he was struggling out of his old suit, and Peter Just couldn't help laughing at him. But he realized that he had been very Impolite, and he very meekly told Old Mr. Toad so. "You see it was this -way," explained Peter. "I heard something under that old board, and I Just naturally turned it over to find out what was there." "Humph!" grunted Old Mr. Toad. "I didn't have the least Idea that you were there," continued Peter. "When I found who it was and' what you were doing I couldn't help watch ing; because It was so Interesting, and I couldn't help laughing because you really did look so funny. But I'm sorry, Mr. Toad. Truly I am. I didn't mean to be so Impolite. I prom ise never to do It again. I don't sup pose, Mr. Toad, that it seems at all wonderful to you that you can change your suit that way, but it does to me. I had heard that you swallowed your Old suits, but I never half believed it. Now I know It Is so, and just how you do it, and I feel as If I had learned something worth knowing. Do; you know, I think you are one of the most interesting and wonderful of all my neighbors, and Til never laugh at or tease you again, Mr. Toad." "Humph!" grunted Old Mr. Toad again, but it was very clear that h was a little flattered by Peter's inter est in him and was rapidly recovering his good nature. "There is one thing I don't under stand yet," said Peter, "and that is where you go to sleep all winter. Do you go down into the mud at the bot tom of the Smiling Pool the way Grandfather Frog does?" "Certainly not!" retorted Old Mr. Toad. "Use your common sense, Pe ter Rabbit. If I had spent the winter in the Smiling Pool do you suppose I would have left it to come way up here and then have turned right around and gone back there to sing? I'm not so fond of long journeys as all that." "That's so." ' Peter looked foolish. "I didn't think of that when I spoke." "The trouble with you, and with a lot of other people, is that you Speak first and do your thinking afterward, when you do any thinking at ! ail," grunted Old Mr. Toad. "Now, ! if I wanted to I could disappear "right here." "You mean that you would hide un der that old board Just as you did far J. a. Uoya.) Condition of Street- ; Prevents Oiling It Broadway Prom Brldjre to Union Zs Busty and Many Complaint Xe ceived BepaUa Will Be Sought. .. Although Broadway from the Broad way bridge to Union avenue Is covered with dust It can not be oiled or sprink led until repairs are made and the ruts, mountains and valley are removed. These repairs are to be sought imme diately. Many complaints have been made recently because of the dust be ing blown into the streetcars, automo biles and in fact all vehicles passing over the street. Will H. Daly, commissioner of pub lic utilities, said this morning that owing to the poor condition of the street It would be Impossible to oil and impracticable to sprinkle. He says the street is badly corrugated with what he terms "rivulets" and that to put oil on it now would do no good. He says, however, that' he will take the matter up with Commissioner Dieck with a view of having minor repairs made that the thoroughfare may be put in shape for oiling. The barometer was Invented in -1643. "Turn your back for five minutes and I'll disappear. before," said Peter' with a very wise look. "Nothing of the sort!" snapped Oil Mr, Toad. "I could disappear and not go near that old board, not a step nearer than I am now." Peter looked in all directions care fujly, but not a thing eould he see under which Old Mr. Toad could possi bly hide except the old board, and he had said he wouldn't hide under that. "I don't like to doubt your word, Mr. Toad." said he, "but you'll have to show me before I can believe that. Old Mr. Toad's eyes twinkled. Here was a chance to get even with Peter for watching him change his suit. "If you'll turn your back to me and look straight down the Crooked Little Path for five minutes, I'll disappear," said he. "More than that, I give you my word of honor that I will not hop three feet from where I am sitting." "All right," replied Peter promptly, turning his back to Old Mr. Toad. "I'll look down the Crooked Little Path for five minutes and promise not to peek." So Peter sat and gazed straight down the Crooked Little Path, i It was a great temptation to roll his eyes back and peep "behind him, but he had given his word that he wouldn't, and he didn't. When he thought the five minutes was up he turned around. Old Mr. Toad was nowhere to be seen. Peter looked hastily this way and that way, but not a sign of Old Mr. Toad could he see. He had disap peared as completely as If he had never been there. Next story: "Old Mr. Toad Gives Peter a Scara" sary to t have an explanatory : talk. Later Mr. O'Neill was associated; with the Peoples and National Amusement companies of Portland. First Sewing Machine OISTER SUSIE sewing shirts for soldiers woum uavo a. harder task if it had not been for the wonderful invention of the sewing ma chine nearly 80 years ago. It is doubt ful if ever there was a time when that useful invention was more in use than it is this present time of war, not only in making shirts for soldiers, but in putting together the khaki uniforms for fast coming recruits. It was on. December 30 last i that Miss Elizabeth Kllbourn, the first wo man who ever handled a sewing ma chine, passed away In Winsted. Conn., at an advanced age. When Ellas Howe was busy perfect ing his wonderful Invention Miss Kll Kn.,m mi Vitnar nt a private school at New Hartford, and he asked her" if she would kindly assist mm Dy .trying a piece of work to see how the ma chine went.
