DR. COON SE NDS FOR JERRY
A
King Tinker Bob went to the door
In answer to the knock and who should
well." said h 'where did vou come
from so soon? I just sent Silky, the
Monkey, to find where you were.
"O King-, I was not far away, just
down at the rivpr hi in tine- for orahs.
I just got so mad trying to catch a big
ienow tnat i tnougni i wouia come up
here and get help. I ll nave to get
that fellow if it tak.es the help of all
the creatures of this great forest." Dr.
Coon put his pill bag down and shook
his finger vigorously. "Can you help
me out, O King?"
"Dr. Coon, don't you know I have
to stay right here and help Red fox?
I sent for you to come but now that
you dropped in I will have you look
at the poor fellow." Tinker Bob took
Dr. Coon to the bed where poor Red
Fox lay with his nose and his eyes all
bandaged up.
"What on earth has this chap been
into now?" asked Dr. Coon as he look
ed into the bed where Red Fox was
tucked so securely.
"O nothing' but the Briar Patch,"
said Jack, the Rabbit, who stood near
by.- "He wanted me to come out to
see him, but I knew better, so I told
him to come into the Briar Patch if he
wanted to see me, and here he is with
his nose full of prickers."
"Well, well, if that dont beat all I
ever heard. Now his old father would
never have done that. He knew that
when a Rabbit went into the Briar
Patch the chase was ended. But it
seems that Young Red Fox will nev
er learn that Briar Patches are for
Rabbits not Foxes." Dr. Coon opened
his Pill Bag and young Red Fox began
to cry.
"Now hush- vour noise, von simnlp
thing," said Mr. Coon, "don't you know
that when Briars go in they must come
out. This may be a lesson. I hope
you will know better next time. Let
me look at your nose.
"O, Dr. Coon, don't hurt my nose,
don't hurt my nose," i ried Red Fox

as Dr. Coon tonic thft hanflaefi off. "T
want the prickers to stay in my nose.
I don't want tbem pulled out. I don't
want them pulled out."
"O yes, I know you. You don't
want to ert hurt hut if the. briars
are left in your nose it will swell up
so Dig tnat you win never De able to
see over it. iou noia sim 111 i.see
how many there are."
Dr. Coon examined Red Fox s nose
and found six or seven tiny briars
buried deep in his flesh. "I will have
to have help. O Kine. Please call for
Jerry, the Jay Bird. He has a sharp
bill and can soon pick them out.
Red Fox set up a cry when he heard
tnat Jerry was to be called in to help
Dr. Coon, for he never had liked Jerry
anyday.
Then there came a "Rap, rap, rap,"
on tne paiace aoor again.
MY SALARY!
The hours you spend with me, dear
"Mon,"
Are very few. it seems to me:
I count yiu, every time apart,
My salary: My Salary!
Ten cents' a dime, ten dimes a "plunk,"
10 earn them is an awful grind;
I count each dime unto the end, and
there
A "Dun" I find.
Oh toil, that is so poorly paid!
Oh salary, spent before we greet!
I kiss each c'ime and try tc find a way
To mak ends meet
Ye Gods! To make ends meet!

THE WEDDING.
The day of the wedding dawned
clear and beautiful. The two girls
awoke with laughter on . their lips to
greet the first rays of the sun that
brought with it a radiant cheerfulness
and a realization that this was the

"Like you?" snorted Gwenda. "Well,

sight of you now. I give up ever try

You are ravissant, fresh as the - day."
An hour later the guests began ' to
arrive, and the. flower-decked studio
was a-hum with merriment. Roses and
lilies-of-the-valley were banked against
the walls, as the girls had planned, and
the sunlight streaming in at the win
dows turned the scene into a veritable
tairy bower. uwenda, in paiest corai

to last details, like- a dewey-eyed angel,

tune that John had loved.

A local real estate ae-ent was offorojl
fifty dollars, less two and a half
cent discount for cash, for an option
on a piece i roperty. Being a poor
mathematician and wishing to conceal
his ignorance of arithmetic from his
customer, he excused himself for a
minute and sought his new stenogra
pher. "Good mornii g. Miss Brown," he said
in his most expansive smile. "Dpiip-ht.

Now, tell me, if I were to give you fifty
dollars, less two and half per cent for
cash, how much would you take off.
