THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, GHAKLOTTE, N. C, 16 "Tinker BoBmI byUarlysJe n. Hoicomo A TRAVELING BRIAR PATCH. Now Billy Mink had a long body and short legs. He was very spry but could Aot run very fast. He was seldom ;caught away from the underbrush of the forest where he could find hiding places easily. His feet being short, and his neck being long, he could crawl into very small holes. And not a few times did he chase Jack the Rabbit out of a hole. Jack knew better than to en ter a hole that had only one entrance 'for he was always on the lookout for IBilly Mink was Mr. Weasel. When Tinker Bob appeared Billy "was in a pickle for he knew he had done wrontr by going after Chief Porky, "the Porcupine of the Forest. Whether the King had seen him or not the King could see the thorn-quills in his nose and by them alone he could tell where Billy had been. And Oh. those old thorn 'quills anyway! His nose would be all swelled out of shape if he didn't get them out very soon. But he would -rather suffer and have his nose swell up than to have the King of the Forest know anything about his trouble with the Forest Chief. " "Well" well, well." said Tinker Bob as he came up. "What does all this mean Billy? You look as though you :had run into the Brier Patch.' .' "O King. I did run into the Brier Patch," said Billy, thinking that would let him but very nicely and he would not have to mention anything about Chief Porky. "My nose is pretty sore but I think it will get better after while. I want to go to see Dr. Coon about it soon." ' "AVhat kind of a Brier Patch did you get into?" inquired the King. - "Well it was a terrible Brier Patch and so full of Briers that I could not see my way to go through or to come .out," replied Billy. ''But the Briers seem to be black and white, and some of them very long. I don't know where there's a i if r ;Patch like that about here." "Well, O King, you haven't been into this one or you would know all about "You look as though you had run into the Brier Patch." it for you can readily see that I have been there and I know." "But you know that I haVe been to all the Brier Patches in th3 " Forest. And you can't be very tar away from the Patch now for you can't trav.-l very fast. I just can't understand where that Brier Patch , is." Billy Mink was puzzled for he knew nothing more to tell the King so that he wouldn't think of Chief Porky. While he was thinking the unexpected happened, and Chief Porky himself came up. Well Billy Mink nearly faint ed for he knew that now it was all over and the King would know all about it. "Well. well. It looks to me," said Tinker Bob, "as though this was the Brier Patch you ran into, and I don't think I am -mistaken. Next Jerry Gets a Job He Doesn't Like. ALL WRONG. I do not like those one-piece suits The girls go bathing in. They're really most disgusting and ; They constitute a sin. , T do hot like the auto rides Folks take on Sabbath day. And I don't see why they should go And dine in a cafe. i I do not like the cigarets Nor pipes that people puff. And as for golf and pinochle. They should cut out that stuff. I think the movies ought to close - And theaters as well. And my opinion of croquet, I can't' find words to tell. i I do not like amusement parks. They're rough and most uncouth. I think the scenic railways are Just ruining our youth. I do not like a single thing That fills one's mind with glee, For I am. a reformer and . The world looks punk to me. . Some of those European countries are evidently tired of waiting for the next war and are starting it now. A beauty specialist has invented a permanent blush. Well, that is what we need nowadays.

Manager TELEPHONE 1533 In looking over a magazine, I came across the following advertisement. The language is wonderful: "A Necklace of Tosco Pearls , falls naturally into an exquisite curve of pure and moving beauty." How is that possible on a short, stout and red-skinned woman? It cannot be done. Nothing changes the complexion of things like a drug store. One economist suggests reducing ex penses instead of raising taxes. This is slightly revilutionary, but interesting withal as a new idea is always inter esting. . Scientist says that, from a physical standpoint, we are much inferior to pre historic man. He also seems to have had it on us from a mental standpoint. He never had to ride in a street car or pay an income tax. "Do you make much money marry ing eloping couples from New York?" asked a friend of a Connecticut justice. "Oh, I do pretty well," was the reply. "I get $5 for marrying 'em and then I generally fine 'em $10 for speeding, they come so fast." Now that Dempsey and Carpentier are both going to win, what is the use of holding the fight?

The umpire shouts For home club stars "Three strikes, yer out!" PA'S LITTLE WHEEZE. Plainly Dorothea was worried. "What's the matter?": asked her fath er, instinctively shifting his wallet to him inside vest pocket; "Oh. Dear" she sighed, "I ate onions for supper and Cecylle just phoned to j say. that he was coming over. 'Oh, I see so you're awaiting his ar rival with baited breath!" R OWN 'Srea SHATTERED ROMANCE It was during their stay in Lucerne that Gwenda met a young Swiss mer chant, whose father owned one of the largest lace-making factories in that part of the country. Jakob Hersolie was his name, and he was a! tall, broad shouldered fellow, with red cheeks and a sunny smile. He laid siege to Gwend da's heart as soon as he met her and was untiring in his attentions. Gwenda swam with him, motored with him, and climbed the tallest peaks of the tallest mountains, with him at her side. Jakob never wavered in his de termination to woo and win her. This vivacious stranger from a strange land. Thfi more she dallied, the harder he pursued. "You'd certainly be miftticss In your own home if you married Jakob." said Fern with a laugh, some weeks after Gwenda had met him, "and you'd never be bored, for whatever else failed Jakob, could always yodel for your amusement. He yodels beautifully. I heard him at it coming through one of the moun tain passes the other morning. Be sides, he is fabulously wealthy, and could give you everything your heart desired, my dear. That in itself is an inducement." "Nonsense; I have no intention of marrying Jakob, or any one else in this part of the counfry, Fern." she answer ed rather crossly. Nevertheless that very night Gwenda sat down and wrote a long letter to John, telling -nim all about her' lover, of his fprtune and his many accomplishments, f She waited impatiently for an answer, but a week went by and still she had not hearrl from John Neale. "Too busy with some doe-eyed Italian signorina, no doubt," she said to herself petulant ly. "Wei!, he'll wait a long time before I write again. Though 1 really have no reason to be peeved because John does not take sufficient interest in my affairs to write and congratulate or may be upbraid me!" N After ten days she r3-:eived a short not from Milan, telling her ; he was frightfully busy but had noted with in terest her news. Suggested iit she accept the smiling Jakob su: t by so do ing make him the happiest man hi the world." "Light wordes, Mister John, she muttered after reading this "but, I wonder if you raa'ly m?ih them, way down deep? Who can tell? men are strange animals after all." "Ready to go on up to Paris, you two?" asked Fedya . the next day, "or would that be a wrong move on your part, Gwenda? Fern, here, tells me that you have lost "your heart to our ruddy young Jakob. If so, we'll stay on and see it through with you, my dear. Just say the word." Gwenda shook her dark head angrily at him. "We'll leavo here just as soon as we can riae and clear out and I'm not a bit in love with Jakob, so there." And dry -eyed she parted from her ad mirer on the morrow, promising., to wriro to him, but beyond that not incriminat ing herself in the least. (To be continued.)
