THE GREAT
Tinker Bob and Major Pole Cat and
Jack, the Rabbit, looked at the children
of Long Neck, the Great Blue Heron
for a long time. Mrs. Heron was feed
ing them fish. She would tear it apart
In small pieces and they would open
their mouths all at the same time. And
if you want to see a pile of fish bones
picked as clean as they can you want
to look about the nest of Long Neck.
They never feed the bones to their chil
dren but they don't miss a piece of
fish.
"Well, O King, as I was about to
say I had something to tell you that
was very important. I have always
had trouble in teaching my children to
fish. I don't have trouble in getting
them to do as I do but I have trouble
in keeping them from harm while they
are learning the art of making a living
for themselves."
"Who in the world would do you any
harm or your children?" asked Tinker
Bob in surprise for this is the first
time he had ever heard that Long
Neck had an enemy in the world.
"I think I know who it is all right,"
said Jack the Rabbit. "I'll bet it is
the same fellow that gives me trouble
with my children."
"I do know who it is," said Major
Pole Cat. "It's Red Fox, the old ras
cal;, that's just the kind of a trick
he's always up to. I can guess it
right every time."
Mr. Long Neck nodded his head and
it was quite an effort for him to do
this because he had such a long neck.
"That's just who it is. He waits along
the lake to see me bring the children
from the nest and then when they are
about ready to go in the water he
springs upon them. We have lost
a great many children that way."
"Why don't you have your children
go right from the nest into the water
and then Red Fox will let them alone
lor he will not go near the water that
is near enough to get his feet wet."
"O King, the little ones cannot go
into the water first. If they did they
drown for they are not used to the
water. They must stand on the ground
N the Q PUR ?
' LIFE.
Life to the barber's a head . of hair;
To the bootblack, a pair of shoes;
To the youth of sixteen, a flapping
young queen;
To the rummy, a shot of booze.
To the girl in the show (you all know
this I know)
It's a mad Avhirl of joy-riding dizzi
ness; To the gambler it's luck, to the fighter
it's pluck,
And to me well, that's none of your
business.
LESTER LAMB.
A short time ago I printed an item
to the effect that all quill toothpicks
came from China. Since then Mr. (I
can't make out his signature), sales
manager of a toothpick company, has
written that what I said was not true,
as they have closed their Chinese
plant. Well so be it. But all the
companies have got their quill tootn-

first and then wade into the water till
they become accustomed to it, then they
are all right."
Tinker Bob happened to look over the
edge of the basket and who should, ho
see below but Red Fox sniffing about
the trunk of the tree. "Hush! There is
Red Fox now. I wonder what he wants
here at this time?"
"Ah, he knows it's about time for
me to train the little ones and he
thinks that there is a chance for one
of them to fall out of the nest so he
hangs around to see if he can pick
one of them up."
"I will fix the young chap for that,"
said Tinker Bob and he tapped the
Stone of Knowledge and the Great
Blue Heron saw him no more. But
Red Fox did.
Just wait till tomorrow.

MARCELETTE.
It was the night of the gala per
formance at the opera and many beau
tiful women were there. Every pos
sible way of doing up human hair
could be seen. The jewels had been
collected from all over the globe.
Gowns of many varieties hung from
as many varieties of shoulders. Vain,
petulant, capricious, extravagant, co
quetting, arrogant and sincere women
filed the theater. f
In a box sat a famous statesman
and next to him his wife. She had
helped him in his career and was the
mother of three children. The coiffure
was mild in manner. The gown was
simnle. The face was soft and in-
telligent. There were no jewels. There
was no affectation. She was a woman,
and after all that is the most beau
tiful thing in the world.
When will barbers in general get
ise to the self-evident fact that the
average man is not possessed of the
burning desire to look like a wax fig
ure and smell like a wake?
Further by what line of reasoning
do furnishing stores think it necessary
for the same average man to purchase
a complete wardrobe, a canoe, a tennis
outfit and a new bag and trunk every
holiday?
SIPS I HAVE MET.
JIr. Erasmus Tripp has stuck by me
for many years. His only fault is
bis memory. He has a memory which
hits on all twelve cylinders and he is
constantly recalling things that I am
anxious to forget. When there is no
one else present Mr. Tripp never re
calls any of our old exploits, but as
sure as there is a third party present
; ne begins, "uo you remember the
time we" and so-and-so. Thp larew
the company the more things Mr. Tripp
recaus. if ne could suddenly lose
his memory Mr. Tripp would be one
of the best guys in the world. I be
lieve in remembering the future and
not the past, especially when friend
wife is present'
A western writer claims to have
made a discovery. He says the legiti
mate stage should be referred to as the
"speakies." Outside of the fact that
wr. used that gag three years ago il is
perfectly aew and fresh.
If any multimillionaire today wishes
to die poor there is evidently nothing
to stop him.
Don't know what the mean tem
perature for the past summer has tet-n.
but it has been mean enough.

TRAOC MARK REGISTERED U. S. RAT. OFF.
The other day we printed a rhymed
advertisement from a New Jersey pa
per offering a Ford for sale. The pur
chaser, on trying out the flivver, leaped
into print with this effusion:
I bought that Ford with its piston
ring,
It's two rear wheels and one front
spring,
Believe me, boys, it's just the thing,
And if its praises you hear me sing,
Carburetor busted, with two slight
blows
I made a little dent, and the old thing
goes.
Radiator's fixed with a piece of gum,
Who'll now say that it's on the bum?
Differential greased, removed the
squeak
It's all to the good; you hear me speak,
Don't have to crank it, always stop on
a hill,
One quart of mixture, she'f had her
fill,
One pint of aobacco juice, one pint of
gas,
There's not another car that she can t
pass.
The ten lost spokes aren't missed at
all, . - '
And there's four more now all ready
to fall,
Tires full of rags, but the speed is
there.
It doesn't 'run on the rims and it
does not use air.
It looks kind of bad with its banged-
up tin,
But: It's a darned good Ford for the
shape it's in.
EXTREME FEWNESS.
"Will you make a few remarks at tha
banquet?"
"Is it to be a dry banquet?"
"Absolutely."
"My remarks will be very few."
There Is a story around that, during
the last drive by the income tax col
lectors, a particularly insistent collec
tor received in the mail one morning
a package containing a mueh-worn
shirt, accompanied by tho following
note:
Lear Sir:
Enclosed is all I have to offer as the
last instalment on my income tax.
Please don't waste any time coming to
see me. because that's all there is, there
'isn't any more.
Which for lucidity is actually classic
and which as an expression that voices
a rather general condition most vivid
ly descriptive.
SLIM SILO. OF THE CHARLOTTE
MOTORCYCLE CLUB SAYS:
A motorcycle is like a girl; if she can
not be led to spark, there is no "go"
in her.
Now that all girls dress like that, the
vamp has to do some real acting to put
over the idea of wickedness. f
Customer "Will you please tell mc
where, I can get something to put a
chicken in?"
Floorwalker "Cam&scla or casse
role?" Wise is the man who knows what
iot to say, and remembers not to say
It.

THE TELL-TALE CAR.
Mr. Hamlen halooed to Cherry when
he was ready to start, and with a last
promise to Beth to see her that evening
without fail, Cherry skipped down to
the waiting car. ,
The old merchant seemed intensely
proud of having such a pretty and ca
pable person as chauffeur, and kept
chuckling to himself happily as he
watched Cherry manipulate the wheel
as easily as she did her chapeaux and
ladvcustomers.
They thundered out into the country
and soon came to their destination.
Here Cherry had a chance to rest and
explore the most beautiful rose garden
she had ever seen. Tea and cakes were
served by Mr. Trevalyan, himself, in
the garden, and after that Mr. Hamlen
sat and finished his business with that
gentleman until five o'clock sounded
from a silver-tongued clock within the
house.
On the way back to Wellsburg Cher
ry drove more slowly. It ' was a gor
geous autumn day. The sky' was crispy
beautiful in its late afternoon colorings.
She even stopped the car once or twice
to gather some particularly handsome
asters that grew by the roadside and
then hurried on again.
Thev were still a mile or two from
Wellsburg: when they came upon Ned's
car, empty, standing to one side of the
road.
Mr. Hamlin saw it first and drew
Cherry's attention to it and wondered
where its owner was.
Remembering Beth W'ilders words of
a few hours before, Cherry knew very
well that no matter where he was, Ar
line Bates was with her husband. Fur

thermore, that this was proof positive
that Ned felt some attachment for this
old flame of his, despite his protests to
the contrary. And that on a perfect af
ternoon he preferred to be with Ar
line, the designing; little minx than
with his own wife. Nice thing for her
to know.
The truth of the matter was, that
Arline had pleaded a headache shortly
after the lunch hour, due to the rush
of work that had fallen to her that
morning. And Ned, thoughtfully, had
suggested a spin in the air to blow it
away.
Naturally Arline jumped at the sug
gestion. The more she and Ned were
seen together, intimately, the jSOoner
would she attain her heart's desire. Af
ter a glorious spin the two left the car
to search for a cool spring that Ned
knew of some-half a mile in from the
highroad. It was at this point that Cher
ry passed by.
With a proud toss of her head, and
a smile, Cherrv shot the car forward,
so as to be well out of sight before the
truants should spy them. Covered with
dust, she finally deposited Mr. Ham
len on his own front doorstep, much
to that oid gentleman's delight.
"Now, Miss Cherry, that was cer
tainly clever of you to get me home
here in time for my dinner, and not a
hitch frcm start to finish. You must
come in and have dinner with us. I
won't hear of anything else."
For a moment Cherry hesitated. Then
remembering how seldom she was
ever considered by the Randall family,
she smiled brightly as she accepted the
kind invitation.

Ask for a pamphlet or booklet of di

Never fail to oil the washing machine
exactly as required. Do not labor un
der the delusion that more oil than the
directions call for is just that much
better. Too much oil is sometimes as
bad as too little. Use a good quality
of .machine oil, the quality which you
know to be of standard grade.
Never fail to empty the washer of , wa

it. Take the pains always to rinse it
out by pouring in a pailful of hot wa

Do not fail to look at your washing
machine every day or so even when
not using, making sure 'that it is in good
condition. Sometimes l closed with a
little moisture within it it becomes
slightly moldy. When this occurs you
should remove the parts that can be

dry the entire machine carefully Leave
windows near by open and do not cover
again until thorouhgly dry within.
