rilSWS. CHARLOTTE, N. C FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 2, 1921. 16 THE CHAKLOTTJS nker Storie byCarlysleH. WHITEHEAD TEL S You cannot imagine the surprise that fell Upon both Mr. Whitehead tho King Sagle and Mr. Osprey the Fish Hawk when they saw Tinker Bob, Kiu of the Great Forest, in the tree-too beside them. Mr. Osprey nearly faint ed for he didn't know that the Kiatj was anywhere about. Of course Kin? Eagle knew that he was not far away, but he didn't expect he was so close. "What does all of this mean anv wav?" asked Tinker Bob as he sat on a limb near the top of the trees. "Thi3 -is no way for two forest creatures N live. Here is Mr. Eagle trying to eteal all of the fish he can from Js- 'Prey, the greatest fisherman of the .feathered forest dwellers." ; "O King, you startled me so: I !didn't know whether I was seeing 'things right or not?" said Osprey as, ,he again regained his balance. "This is the first fish that I have taken away from Osprey for many a day. And I only wanted to take thai one to show him that I was still Kins among the birds. I don't care for fish anyway." "Now. Mr. Whitehead, I am the King of the Forest. You may ma'ce Osprey believe that but you can't makj me think that you don't like fish." '" "He tried to steal one from me y.-.s-terday but he couldn't get it, and he tried to steal one the day before. It just makes him angry to try to got .them when he can't." "I think I understand," said Tr. ker Bob. "I will call one of my com panion.." The King: called Silky, this 'Monkey, and he came on the run. Ho jumped into the tree and swung from limb to limb till he came to the ton of the tree where the King was rest ing. Mr. Eagle tried to fly but couli not. for he found himself fast to chj limb. "What is the matter, O Kink," cried Mr. Whitehead, "I can't get awav Thin Folks If you are weak, thin and nervous, let Jas. P. Stowe & Co.. supply you with Bitro-Phosohate. It is guaran teed to increase weight and strength and restore energy, vigor and nerve force. " NOTICE Sealed proposals will be received un til 12 o'clock m.

Silky was so amused with it all tint he -laughed and laughed. Don't iet this crazy fellow hurt me. O, King. I will tell you the truth about It all when I get a chance. Pleasa don't let this fellow hurt me. I say 1 will never do it again so long as 1 live." "Don't be afraid. I just want you to tell me the truth about steal'.r.g that fish. And you don't seem to want to tell it all. Now do you see that monkey? He i3 a strange fellow and 1 have brought him here for you to look at. Now I want you to tell me all or this fellow will jump on you and tak every leather out of your wings an-l vou will be as helpless as you are now." "O King, I took the fish becau-i. I wanted to eat it. O King, that is the whole truth. Please let me go back to my family in the mountain. 1 will never so long as I live do that again." Silky was so amused with it all that he laughed and laughed and this frightened the Eagle still mor?. "That is all I want to know, Mr. Whitehead. You have told me the truth now you can go," and he went. The King watched him till he was out of sight and then went back to Maicr Pole Cat. Next Silky Takes A Dive. SOVIET RESOURCES MUST BE EXPENDED New York, Sept. 2. The Soviet au thorities still have resources at their disposal and should be urged to use them to provide food for adult relief, de clared Secretary of Commerce Hoover, chairman of the American Relief Ad ministration, in a telegram Thursday to Colonel William N. Haskell, director of the relief administration's mission to Russia. Colonel Haskell will sail Sat urday on the Olympic for Russia. He was the guest yesterday at a farewell luncheon given by representatives of the nine relief organizations under his directorship. "In the matter of adult relief,"" wired Mr. Hoover, "you are aware that the Soviet authorities still have some re sources in gold and other metal. It seems to me fundamental that the world should urge upon them that they should expend these sums at once for the purchase of breadstuffs abroad. They can scarcely expect the rest of the world to make sacrifices until they have exhausted their every resources. MANY DELEGATES TO ZIONIST CONGRESS Carlsbad, Czecho-Slovakia, Sept. 2. With delegates and visitors from every part of the world in attendance, the International Zionist Congress opened its sessions Thursday. Dr. Chaim Weizman, president of the world Zionist organization, revieAved the work of the organization since the hist congress, held eight years ago. He de clared that the time of uncertain and hazardous: experiments had passed and that the Zionists now could look ior ward to a period of steady growth. Dr. Weizman said that the recent dec laration of Arthur J. Balfour, the British lord president of the council, was public recognition of Zion's his toric claims, and that the Jews would not cease to press for the establish ment of such conditions they were en titled to in free Israel. CRUISER OLYMPIA TO BRING BACK UNKNOWN Washington, Sept. 2. The Navy De partment has assigned the cruiser Olym pia, Dewey's famous flagship, to bring to the United States, the. body of the unidentified American soldier selected for burial at Arlington on November 11, Secretary Denby announced Thursday night. The Olympia, under command of Captain Henry L.. Wyman, will prob ably sail for Cherbourg or Brest Octo ber 10. The return trip is scheduled to start October 27 and terminate at either New York or Hampton Roads about November 10. Several non-commissioned officers of the armyfi navy and marine corps will be designed to accompanv and guard the body of the unknown hero. SOUTHERN RAILWAY SCHEDULE Passenger Train nct-4len.

Lips that touch liquor never tell where they got it. Russia wants to come to Harding's party. We didn't know she had any thing to wear. It's easy to meet expenses these days. You run onto them every time you turn around. THOSE LIVELY PROFESSORS. . Deep in a ponderance calculation the professor leaned over his desk. One hand held his massive brow; the other guided his pencil. Suddenly the library door was flung open, and a nurse entered, smiling broadly. "There's a little stranger upstairs, professor," she announced, of course referring to the very latest arrival. "Eh?" grunted the man of learning, poring deeply over his problem. "It's a little boy." remarked the nurse, still smiling. "Little boy," mused the professor. "Little boy eh? Well, ask him what he wants!" Frequently a chorus girl's success de pends upon her understanding. We see by the newspapers that Owen Moore has been married. And we venture the prediction that pretty soon he'll be owing still more. And Commenting further, death brings its own reward, while taxes bring nothing more than a receipted bill or a law suit. A Jewish soldier was taken to a hospital. The diagnosis showed him to be suffering from a bad case of influ enza. "Send for the priest," Tsidor moaned. "Tiie priest?" queried the doctor. "You mean the .rabbi, don't you?" "No!" yelled Isidor. "Do 'you think I should want to give the flu to the rabbi!" Somebody declares that the young men and boys of America are this country's greatest assets. And wa daresay the flappers are our greatest liabilities. TIIE CROWDED SOCIAL HOUR.

She remained true to the tennis club, however, and met once or twice a week te elect of Wellsburjr's younger set In a game of tennis or two. The girls seemed to find Cherry rath er dull. That is to say, sho was not interested in the sort of things that for generations young ladies of Wells burg' had been trained to be interested in, and that made it difficult for them to quite place her. Then, too, this independent streak in her was most upsetting. It was un heard of for a newly-wed wife to up and start out in business despite the ad vice of friends and family. No, they were not at all sure of this new entity in Vit1i- midst. And sn manv of the younger men had been influenced by Cherry, her hats and her modern laeas. It really looked as though the nicest N $ TOR AW RIGHT, HELEN! I love you! Do you think it bold For me to speek so plain? Judge not too harshly nor too soon, But li'it while I explain.

Seventy per cent of the husbanda are glad when their wives go away for ihe summer; but they also rejoice when they come back. So far is the rift between Goraldine and Teliegen is concerned, we refuse to become at all excited. Wj (topped throwing fits over theatrical divorces ten years ago.

It seems to us that by this time the snart set would be regular shock absorbers, as, to our certain knowledge, it has been shocked, at least a dozen times this tea son. SAPS I ILVVE MET. Mr. Ambrose Bibbins has probably tried to do more for me than any of my dear friends. Hardly a day has pass ed during the past few racing seasons that he has not come to my office about 1 o clock in the afternoon with a tio direct from the stables on a horse that couldnt lose if he ran on three legs We missed yesterday, but we cannot possibly miss today," says Mr. Bibbins. My brother-irt-law was out at the stables this morning and he has put down 100 bones on this nag." Mr Bibbins has a system that cannot lose- during the winter months when there is Jans ln our vicinity. The fact that Mr. Bibbins has occasionally put my money on a horse that was not en lered, and that nobody ever heard of does not diminish his friendship for me. He is as faithful as ever.

There were several of them who stout ly took sides with Cherry agaJnsrthe whole, misunderstanding wi.. openly praised her for her nerve nd good sense in what she had chosen and loudly hoped that the Lord would send them such a nifty little wife later - on. Such sentiments from nicely brought up Wellsburg youths were nothing short of treason. And for all this revolution, h.. Phamr TCnndall was respon- sible. Small wonder tnat the tennis club secretly longed to have the young person's resignation sent in. Some, there were, of the crowd who felt for Ned. Thev pitied him and his lot from the bottom of their hearts and were loud in their praise of him and his nobility in allowing Cherry to ride as high-handedly as he had. Others, again, made bitting remarks about Ld ward's attentions in another direction. To this the antis retorted that 'it was just what might be expected from a man under the circumstances. And Cherry had but herself to thank if he roved " And in this manner life dawdled by.
