He plans aglorious day of thrills and,ad-} venture, but this is only a dream for Friend Wife, alas, insists on “sitting in” much to Fatty’s dis- pleasure, Sitting on the beach, listening |to her reading some High-Brow Stuff, his eyes often wandered to- ward Luna Park, and _ he thinks of the good times to be had with- in—but Friend Wife can’t see it, so there he sits plottingand plan- ning how to make good his escape. A dog playing on the beach gives him an idea which he im- mediately puts into execetion, and when Friend Wife next looks up from her reading, Fatty has quite disappeared. ¥ She roams the beaches looking fo him, and finally landing in the police station where she gets the assistance of the Law in hunt- ing her lost husband. In the meantime, Fatty makes his way into the great amusement ‘park and strikes upa lively flirtation with an extremely pretty girl. | Here again he meets with Obstac- are visiting this week at the home | les to be overcome for the girl in question already has one escort, By a clever ruse, however, Fatty has said Escort arrested, and tak- ing the lonesome young lady, he proceeds to celebrate his Liberty. Coming down the chutes, they both land in the water and decide o take a dip in the ocean while heir clothes are drying. In the bath house, Fatty’s joy turns to brief when he finds that there is ot one single bathing suit will t him. Again he'comes out vic- rious, however, for some woman | drops her bathing suit ona chair in front of him, and_ while she is checking her jewelry, Fatty, see- ing she is about his size (!) pinch- es itard makes for the dressing rooms with more Speed than Dig- nity. iy Just as Friend Wiife s leaving the police station, an officer enters with the much abused Escort and Wifey recogonizes in him an old friend. She asks him if he has seen her Husband and shows him a pictureof him in her locket. The Escort is furious and tells her all about it. So it happens’ that she pays his fine and they both start out on the hunt, Wifey to find her hub- by, much-abused Escort to find his girl. In the meantime, down the beach, Fatty and the Girl are having the time of their Young Lives. When the Wife and the Escort arrive, Fatty’s disguise is so per- fect that they do not recogonize him—until a Lifegard gives them both away. A general fight en- sues, the Lifeguard calling out the Reserves, and the entire crowd is taken over to the police station. At the police station the fight starts all over again, Fatty and Much-Abused Escort joining fore- es. They finally overpower the police and lock them in the cells, putting the ladief in one too. Leaving the station house they both make resolutions Never, no, Never, to look at females again. Just as they are making this com- pact, two very charming girls are going by. The girls smile and all resolutions are broken!

So far this month everything is selling good with the exception of horses and for the beneflt of the public that does not gct out in other parts as I do in conducting sales all over the Northwest. that the prospects for a horse or mule market are not very encouraging as there are 70,000 to be turned loose in the Northwest in the next thirty days, hence it will flood the market.
