A BORN FIGHTER.
One day Tinker Bob the vonderful
King of the Forest, and Silky, the
foolish monkey were resting in the
shade of a forest tree near the river
hen they heard a terrible fuss not
far away. Of course Silky could not
Vesist, he must be on hand if there
was any trouble about. His cur
iosity led him into trouble a good many
times. As for Tinker Bob he was
King of the Forest and had a right to
go where there was trouble, for that
,was his business.
"I wonder what all this fuss can be
about?" he asked as they started off
in the direction of the sound. "It
seems that all of the feathered crea
tures of the forest are there. At least
there is noise enough."
1 "When they arrived Tinker was
somewhat , surprised to see Mr. Hawk
.in trouble. He was flying back and
forth above the forest trees greatly
disturbed. Some brave fellow was fol
lowing him and every now and then he
would scream and go close enough to
pull a feather or two from Mr. Hawk's
back. "I wonder who that fellow can
be?" asked Tinker. "He is such a
small creature in comparison with Mr.
Hawk. .
'Chebec! Chebec! Chebec!" came the
familiar cry. "that is myf fighting cou
sin." Tinker Bob was surprised to
see Mr. and Mrs. Chebec so close.
'Well, he is a Ibrave fellow indeed to
follow Mr. Hawk after that manner,"
said the King. "But I didn't know
you had a fighting couin."
. "Chebec! Oh, he is the best friend
we have in the forest for he is so brave
he will fight all of our enemies at
Once."
: Just then this fighter came soaring
down to the old stump by the river to
receive congratulations from his forest
friends. Then it was that Tinker Bob
noticed that he had a black bill with
a crook in it, and his head and back
were dark also, but his tail was edged
jwith pure white.
j "So you are a cousin of the Chebecs

are you?" asked the King.
"Yes, that's what they say, so I
guess it's all right!"
"His proper name is Kingbird for he
is afraid of nothing," said Chebec.
"They call me Scrapper for short.
But I can't stand having that Hawk
molest everyone in the forest, and
that's just the thing he wants to do.
He steals eggs and kills the little ones
and makes life miserable in general
for all of the feathered folks. -He
makes me angry and I drive him away
every time I see him:"
"But you are pretty small to go af
ter such a fellow as that," said Tin
ker Bob.
"He moves out of here just the
same," said Mr. Kingbird. Then sud
denly he darted out to catch a "fly but
it wasn't a fly.
What do you think it was?

A high school club in Ei'anston had
a meeting the other night and debated
on the question: "Resolved, That this
age is more immoral than any pre
vious age." Almost without exception,
the sixty-five club members voted in
the affirmative and then drew up a
list, setting forth the dances, tho
short skirts, the low-necked dresses
and other self-revelations of the pres
ent day as horrible examples of the
things to be shunned.
Each of the thirty young men of the
class pledged himself after the meet
ing never, never to speak to or walVc

is?

BED-TIME CONFIDENCES.
Gwenda spent the evening quietly
with Fern,' She prepared -a nice little
supper for them, then completely ex
hausted from the exciting" events of
the day, she snuggled on to, the foot
of her cousin's bed for U ' gobd-hTght
chat.
"You were 'simply wonderful, Gwen
ny, dear," said Fern, admiringly,
locking at ' Gwenda with shining' eyes.
"You really, saved" rhe frbjn being
dragged through 'all this, mess, and
being in every paper tomorrow night.
How can I ever thank you. enough?"
"By resting all day tomorrow, and
not thinking about the shooting - any
more Above all, don't mention . to
anybody v that you were there at the
time it occurred, for you know as
well as I do just how quickly the
little old village gossips. Hear me?"
"Indeed I do, and I'll not mention
a . word to anyone. Poor, poor Fedya,
how dreadful he must feel now. I
am so glad that he is not fatally hurt,
Gwenny. He deserves better luck
than he has had all these years, after
ail. We must go and see him in a
day or two, it will cheer Uim up a
lot, I know. Half of Fedya's troubles
come from his awful loneliness. I've
had several talks with him lately, and
I know. He has been awfully sweet
to me, and seems to understand just
how I feel about life. He never , did
before, never had the time to give
butterfly. Fern mpre than a passing
though or a shrug."
"Oh, Fedya's all right, if he would
only give himself half a chance. And
if fate had- only given him half a
chance," answered Gwend. "He is
not by any means as black as the
world tries to paint him, no, not even
about women. And I think, he has
improved vastly of late."
"At least he did stick to his wife,
bad as she was. That speaks well
for his loyalty," said Fern, with a
bitter look. "Especially when . you
think of the disloyalty of other men. '
Here Gwenda promptly changed . the
subject, for she felt that they were
on dangerous ground, and Fern, had
been through enough that afternoon
without working herself up to a point
of hysterics on account of her' past. '
uwenda stretched her tired arms and
smiled cheerily at her cousin, then
got up- and announced that it was
high time for a cup of good cocoa and
bed.
"Don't have to work in the morn
ing, nor all day, Fern-o, so we'll have
a real holiday, you and I, a real old
fashioned one. We'll eleep till noon,
then go to a matinee, and then have
dinner somewhere it's quiet. ' Then , go
to the theater again in the evening.
Won't that be fine?" . .
"You darling," said Fern, giggling
merrily at the very thought of such
bliss. "You dear, .wonderful girl. How
could I ever have run away and left
you?" And she. hugged Gwenda heart
ily. . - -a.. . .x -
"Back to bed, Miss,'-' commanded
Gwenda, imperatively. "And now for
the all-satisfying beverage. I'll be with
you in ten minutes."

EVANGELIST URGES
CONTROL rOI? ONESELF
i i "Not only . know thyself , but control
thyself," was the warning in the ser
mon of Dr. Lee McB.; White, pastor
of the Kinston First ' Baptist church,
Wednesday night at Ninth' Avenue Bap
tist church. "Christ's Secret 'of Life
Success" was his subject.
To be thorougniy acquainted with
one's self is the first requisite of life,
declared the speaker.
"Know thyself (and control thyself
avail not unless the real secret of
Christ is learned when he said deny
thyself," said Dr. White. "We must
deny Ourselves of intellectual precon
ceptions, pride in bur own thinking.
Again we must deny ourselves certain
worldly pleasures that degrade instead
of enobling our- lives."'
; Special music featured the service, a i
duet - by Earl Wolslagel, of Asheville, ;
and John D. Carroll, being especially
good. '
Dr. White will select as his subject
Thursday night, "The Complete Man
in Christ." The service starts at 7:45
o'clock.
