THB CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 2, 1921 14 - . ! " i i J rvVi." W J , - inker Storie yCarlysle H. Holcomb THREE TIMES IS Red Fox came through the forest on s way to visit O Possum. He had not lid his friend the attention that he hould ajid now he was on his way to e him for the last time before the Jointer set in. O Possum lived in a hollow tree in he midst of the forest. It was a tall ee and the hole on the outside was -nail but inside was big and roomy so e could turn around many times if he anted to. About 15 feet from the bot- pra of the tree O Possum had made a ocket where he could asleep and not be isturbed. Red Fox stopped to rest under a great kk till he could locate the tree where Possum lived. It happened that at lis time Mr. "Woodchuck and his iends and family had left their home i the meadow to go to the forest for lie Winter. The ground would be so et that they couldn't stav in it all k'inter. This made it a little confusine: ir Red Fox. He didn't want to call n Mr. Woodchuck and he didn't , know hich tree O Possum was in for the oles leading into the trees all looked llike. While Red Fox sat quietly under the TWO TOO MANY SHE DYED HER SILK STOCKINGS TO MATCH SKIRT Don't wonder whether you dye or nt successfully.

GRAHAM OlrlRlon Passenger Agent Phone 2S60. Branch 7. Down came two acorns and both hit him on the head. Old Oak an acorn fell and hit him on the head. He thought nothing of it at first for he had been under the Old Oak before and knew that there were acorns on it and there was nothing strange about one falling and hitting him. In a moment another one fell and hit him on the head. No it was a little strange to have two acorns hit him on the head. Reddy looked up this time but could see nothing but the moving leaves in the breeze. He thought that perhaps some forest dweller would come along by and by who could tell him where O Possum lived so he sat quietly under the Old Oak. It was only a monment or two when another acorn came down and hit him. Three was two too many and Reddy became suspicious that someone was playing a trick on him. Now if there were any tricks to be played on anyone Red Fox wanted to do it himself. He was not pleased to have a trick played on him. He walked about the tree to'see who might be up there throwing' acorns at him but he could see no one. Then he sat down in another place thinking they would not find him there. Only a moment passed and down came two acorns and both hit him on the head. That was too many. Reddy sprang to his feet and cried out: "Who is up in that tree throwing acorns at me?" Just then a face that was familiar appeared over the edge of the highest limb. It was the face of Sammy Squir rel, and Sammy was laughing as hard as he could laugh. "That's all right you can laugh now but wait till I catch you on the ground." "But don't you want to know where O Possum lives?" asked Sammy. "I sure do and if you will tell mo where he is I'll never touch you." Sam my is a wise fellow. Next Red Fox Sees the King. SOUP, BOOZE AND CHINAWARE IN IT Bull in China Shop Was Duplicated at Charlotte Cafe With Literalness. The bull was in the china shop, al though the china shop was the Char lotte Cafe, located just- beyond the Sea board bride on North Tryon street, and the bull was Walter Foster, of Con cord, nevertheless, the effect was the same. The result, however, was cniier ent for the bull paid $15 and costs for his part of the affair m the police court Tuesday morning. As usual, booze did it. soup assist ed. And china ware closed the deal. But! it was a rare party while it lasted, acordmg to evidence presented in court. Here beginn?th the testimony. Fos ter, being warm within but susceptible to the Fall breezes without, concluded that a mixture of moonshine, and soup would alter conditions. So seated on the reestaurant stool, he banged down his fist on the counter and demanded that the seething broth be forthcoming in a hurry. That rather heckled Waiter Gibson, who, having waited on the hungry horde for many moons, decided that it was time for the hungry horde to wait on him. Anyway, he was going to quit the next morning, and as the boss was away, he c-' didn't get fired that night. So the argument began. The soup re mained forgotten, but there was not a bad word in the common vernacular that wasn't remembered, acording to the evidence. Then it was that Foster did a stranee thing. He stood up be fore the counter and told Gibson, who had picked up an empty bottle, that if he did not hit him he was something that they don't call little boys in Sun day school. "And that's how it was," said Gib son on the stand. "If I missed him. I was what he said I was but if I hit him, then the whole affair would come to a close. Gibson missed Fjoster. but Foster didn t miss his opiortunity. And lortn- with the bull roared. Sc up bowls first covered the front end of the cafe with a kind of barrage. Then followed the lighter dishes, including . everything from air ordinary plate to a butter tray.. Customers took to their heels. , . The f)lace was cleaned out in the space o a few seconds. according to H. M. Free man, who had also come in for soup. But Foster raved on. He broke tip every dish he c -uld get his, handy on. smashed up the refrigerator, broke down the show case, scattered- ciga rettes, candy and other .stuff over the floor and only ceased his ;' animation when there was nothing else left to smash. The ruin was complete. The restaurant was empty. The only-sound heard when the police arrived was th; heavy breathing of, Foster and the lazy sizzling of boiling soup. "I threw up my job right then." ex plained Gi1. son, "but if I had jut hit him the first time with that bottle it would have settled the argument." a in n mm m m II x IT IPk-JL A NEW CLUB BORN. The very next morning brought "The Leader" to the breakfast table with Cherry's interview on its first page. Beside it was . a" charming . picture of that lady - plus an -interesting analysis of the hopes and policy of "The Pro gressive Wives of Wellsburg Club." Cherry watched her mother-in-law from the corner of her eyes as she saw. her snap the paper open and noted the. look of amazement on her face as she read through to the end. wnen kT-ip hart finished she laid the taper down and went on calmly eating her grape fruit. This was tvDical or ner, sne re flected, vv hen praise was due jurs. Randall was ant to be singularly quiet, but she never missed an opportunity to mull over something mat was wormy of attack. Tnn nroud to venture any remarks herself, Cherry ate her breakfast in silence. It was Jane who burst rortn into eloquence as soon as her eyes fell nn iYia article. This was followed closely by Jack, the irrepressible. . . ..... . . "If this isn't the best ever, unerry, said Jane, her mouth full of toast. "Why, you've put all the old gossips in their proper place. And it's about time, too. I despite Miss Lu tie's mean tongue. Every girl I know here is 'fraid to death of her. Sometimes she's ennfi and made un stories about the different girls she'd meet on the street and told their mothers things that ac tually weren't true. Nobody really likes Tier, it s impossible. sne s sucn "Well, the Leader sent around to HamlKi's for the interview vesterday." said Cherry, "and I felt that it was the only thing to do. There are al ways two sides to every question. As for Miss Lutie, 1 despise her too tnu.ii to even let her think, that her bitter- tongue could ever anger me. the best way to . deal with people like her, Janey.'' - 4 , "Miss Lutie has tne town s ir.ia. at heart. She is not as bad ns you make her out to be, Jane," said Mrs. Randall severely. "And most ui yv young people have no right to dislike her for this. Suppose .we dii let you run things in the way you wouli like to' The whole ot vvensDurg wuum me in an unroar in a day. We've not Iwen accustomed . to havtag 'disgruntled wives in our midst.

"AJntViinr stranee about it, either. Rules read much the same as those of the other circles that ' meet here ev ery week, as far as I can see. There's- one dirterence: we uesno progress, keep up with the times and develop our minds as much as possible, as well as be good wives. I fail to see anything radical or dreadful in that, - Mrs. Randall sniffed, but . held her peace. . .. , . "Well, I'll say they looked about as happy as most of the wives in this old burg, those progressive ones I saw last night when I peaked in the window, Cherry." said Jack, with a twinkle in his eye. "And they sure are the best looking women ; in the town, too. Guess that's what set all the old maids by the ear. Jealous!" "Jack, attend to your breakfast and don't talk .bout things you know noth. ing about," warned his mother, sharp ly.
