Bargett Don't let your stomach steal your wits wy And for little pleasure Dow tomorrow hare to par. Prickly Porky. THE very, morning that Peter Rabbit crept Into a certain hollow log in the Green Forest for a nap Mrs. Grouse hap pened along ' near the tree in which Prickly Porky the Porcupine Jiad been finding life so very pleasing and wholly to his liking. Mrs. Grouse passed that way nearly every day, so she knew that Prickly Porky was there. Each time she passed she looked, up to eee how many more branches Prickly Porky bad stripped oflives, twigs and bark. This morning she heard Prickly Porky before she was where shecould see him. He was whining and grunting fretfully. The very sound of his voice was proof that he was feeling ver7 much out of sorts about something. . . "Now, what can be the matter with that prickly fellow 7" wondered Mrs. Grouse. "I am' sure there hasn't been any one here in the Green Forest to bother him and I know he doesn't mind the cold eo long as he has plenty to eat, and he . liasn't half stripped that tree yet. s Perhaps he has the stomach-ache. It makes mine ache just to think of liv ing on nothing but hemlock bark and twigs."! , ' . . She hurried on to where she could see Prickly Porky. He was up in the big hemlock tree sitting in a. crotch with his back against the trunk and scolding fretfully, though there appeared to be no one about. She flew up to a branch near him. "Good morning, Prickly Porky," said she. "What are you fretting a"bout?" "The weather," grunted Prickly Porky crossly. - "The weather!" exclaimed Mrs. Grouse. "I thought you were the one who liked good winter weather." "I do, grunted Prickly Porky. "But I don't like bad winter weather." "But this isn't bad ! It is a fine morn ing!" cried Mrs. Grouse. " "It is gofng to change," grunted Prickly Porky. "How do you know?" demanded Mrs. Grouse. " "I don't see any signs of a change." "How should I know how I know?" retorted Prickly Porky fretfully. "I do know. It is pleasant enough now, but lt'won"t be long. A storm is coming and it is going to be a bad one. I can always tell when a storm is coming by my feelings. , That means I've got to leave this fine tree and go stay in a hollow jog for goodness knows how long. It is a bother, a nuisance and there Dating School Will Stage v Party A SPECIAL Christmas party will be given Friday for the younger mem bers of the Christensen dancing scnool, which will Include several interesting feature dances. . The regular luncheon of the Women's Advertising club will be held Friday, at the Benson hotel. Members are urged to be present, as plans and suggestions for the coming year will be discussed.

Prickly Porky began to sjowly and clumsily climb down the tree, , "I really believe he believes himself," thought Mrs. Grouse, and looked up at the sky. Even as she looked jolly, bright Mr. Sun disappeared and she noticed an extra chill in the air. Prickly Porky' seemed more fretful and uneasy than ever. He actually, seemed to be "IIow should I know how I know?" retorted Prickly Porky fretfully. trying to hurry. "It is clouding up a little, but It often does that without storming. , How can he know ft ia going to storm? I've always wondered where Prickly Porky spends his time In bad weather and now I'll have a chance to find out. I'll just sit here arid watch him." Prickly Porky reached the foot of the tree and, still fretting, shuffled along until he came to a certain white mound. It Was a great hollow log buried in snow. At one end was a hole freshly dug. Prickly Porky looked surprised and grunted still more fretfully. The hole wasn't big enough tor bim so he went to work to make it bigger. Pres ently he disappeared. And as he did so the first snowflakes came hissing down through the trees. "I guess he knew what he was talking about," said Mrs. Grouse as she pre pared to seek shelter. (Copyrieht. 1020. by T. W.

Listen Lester" Is Not a Bit JSerious . By E. C. B. PERHAPS by virtue of the fact that It offered nothing to tax the imagina tion nor quicken the pulse, yet was pre sented to the accompaniment of tuneful ditties, clever dance steps, .tasteful cos tuming and amid simple settings, "Lis ten Lester" proved an interesting,- light diversion . to Heilig theatre audiences Thursday night. Unless it be the catchy air of "Wait ing," that was impressive .there isn't the lingering hint of a tune left today, nor can one tell why Fred Holder's nonsense proved eo welcome. Fred's athletic en tertainment haa novelty and the flavor of originality to recommend it, and there is enough variety of talent in the com pany to carry on where Helder leaves Off. The only singing voices in the "Listen Lester" company are those of the Four Entertainers, a splendid .quartet com posed of Lloyd Balliet. John Shannon, John Bowe and William Renaud. The beauty of the company ia confined to the artistry of the costumer the physical beauty allotted the company apparently had to cover so much territory that its effect is lost. The women of the cast are chiefly in the chorus, of course, but aside from that group, there is June Rob erts, 'the youthful dancing girl, and Bet ty Kirkbride, who plays the . Important role of "Arbutus Quilty." The thread of a theme marks. "Listen Lester" and brings in Delano Dell as Lester Lite, porter at a Palm Beach hotel. Lester is a card his face is his fortune, surely. The story has to do with the loves of Colonel Rufus Dodge and his endeavors to escape their results. One of the chief results is the stiff and stilted Arbutus Quilty, bent upon denting the colonel's fortune through the love letters she carries. "Listen Lester" Is presented In two scenes, one a hotel lobby and the other a hotel porch. Neither is elaborate enough to detract from the Interest that centers. about the singing and dancing, in which Francis X. Donegan takes a very active part. Heider only offers a hint of his talent tn "Listen Lester," but as an athletic comedian he seems to be secure in star dom, -while the presentation of the role of Arbutus Quilty by Miss Kirkbride is a happy bit of exaggerated character.' "Listen Lester" will remain through New Year's day. with a special matinee on that day. Centralia, Wash., Dec. 81. Centralis lodge, L O. O. F., will stage a homecom ing meeting for New Tear's eve. The lodge is closing one of the most prosper ous years in its history.
