THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 10, 1921- THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C .15 Ti-rik Storie byCarlysJeR Holcomb TINKER THOUGHT BILL-IE ILD BEEN FIGHTING Willie Chuck v-ent into his house in1 a great hurry for the noise he heaid was not the kind he was used to hear ing and it sounded to him as though someone was coming to catch him. Of course Tinker Bob was not afraid for he -was King of the Forest. It would be a strange thing to have the King of the Forest afraid of the creatures in the woods. If he was he would be on the jump all the time for there was some fellow of the great woodland who was making a strange noise all the time. Tinker Bob looked about to discover the cause of Willie Chuck's sudden de parture. There was nothing to be seen, and now there was nothing to be heard, but Willie didn't come back. He knew that he was too fat to run much so the best place for him, when he was not sure, was in bis own house. A moment or two passed and the King noticed something on a log not a great way off. It was long and very close to the log. Its color was brown and it moved carefully. The moment I 111 IVt I CtXW LUC V. I e. I i who it was and why Willie Chuck had run into his house. "Come over here, Billic," he said. "You don't need to be afraid, there is no one here who will hurt you." Who do vou suppose it was? Well, it was one of the dwellers who had not been seen all Summer. In fact he is a hard fellow to find in the Winter but in the -Summer he is seldom seen. It was Bil- lie Mink. He heard the King and looked at him a moment before he moved. A very careful fellow is Mr. Mink for he takes no chances on being caught. When he bad decided it was really the King of the Forest who called to him he crept carefully over to where Tinker Bob was vesting on the root of the tree m wmcn Mr Chuck lived. nere nave yuu ucm an wui.w.... . asked the King. t havp been in the forest doing as usual." answered Billie.

I would rather live all alone, that is if I could find plenty of mice and shrews to eat. "What makes vour fur look so funny. Mr. Mink?" asked Tinker as he put his hand on Billie's back. "It looks to me ac thnnrrV) -unil had been in a fight and someone scratched some of tyour fur of." "XY nn n Kins. I haven't been fight ing. I'm just shedding my fur getting rearUr to nut a new coat on tor tne win ter." That's why the Hunter doesn't r9r aVw-mt Rillie Mink in the Summer time. His fur is only good in the cold weather. Then Billy heard a scratch ing sound inside the tree. Next An Argument In The Tree Top. OFFICE CAT " ' BY JUNIUS cervwoMT mr esoak alum mou. TMf MARK KfaiSTCKeO U. S. MT. OFF. FARM PROBLEMS TO BE DISCUSSED Convention of American Farm Bureau Federation to Be Held in Atlanta; Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 10. (United Press) What is expected to be one of the most important gatherings of farmers ever held in the United States will be the second annual conventio of the America Farm Bureau Federation which will be held here from November 12 to 24. Thousands of farmers from all parts of the United States, as well as repre- A DOLEFUL DITTY. As I walked blithe and full of spunk I chirruped gayly to my soul But then I saw a fallen chunk Coal! v My anxious heart pcke up in fright You better order s?m, or you'll Be shivering shortly, Autumn night Cool! So I went on in painful doubt And felt most timorous and pale; For how can it be bought without Kale? New Toric Pest. THE HAPPY TIP. Minister "I made seven hearts hap py today.". Parishioner "How was that?" "Married three couples." "That makes only six." "Well, do you think I did it for ncth ing?" Even if he does not enjov taking moonlight walks with his wifa as he did before they were married, a man still may enjoy the moonshine. 0 aensaxmm HE CAME BACK. Smartest youth in all the village was young Hiram Tate. And it was indeed a pleasure to hear him relate All the details of the offers that he got each day And how he had turned them down, demanding higher pay. Manv lucrative positions fell unto his lot. Some folks said that they believed him, other folks did not. Once he went to the city, never to re turn Stayed away about three days as far as we can learn Once young Hiram went a troopin' with a reg'Iar show, And he stayed away from home about a week or so. Then he got a fine position, clerkin' in a store, And he lasted, so they tell me, seven days, no more. Parents thought they'd never lose him, till one fateful day When he up and wed his sweetheart and they moved away. 'That's the time he broke the record. First time in bis life. Stayed away a month and then came home and brought his wife. Simmons college girls took a vote and many decided they would be willing to Seaboard Air Line Railway ratitaeer Tiain Schedule.

"What those young ladies don't know about married life and household expenses they will never learn in school. AX IMPORTANT SUBJECT. The most important subject in this world is Nothing. It can safely be said that millions of people are thinking about it. A great many people are doing it Nobody knows how many, but too many. In some society circles, it is the sole topic of conversation. Hundreds of people go abroad for it. It seems as though the women are getting ready to wear it, or a good im itation of it. Nine-tenths of the magazine stories are written about it. A great many movie films deal with it. Three hundred songs are written about it every week. The league of nations is constantly doing it. . The disarmament conference is get ting ready to do it. It's the grand and glorious subject, Nothing. Now that the treasury department has decided that beer may be manu factured and used for medical pur poses, there probably will be an epidem ic of illness in this country that will beat the great plague in China. Probably if the facts were known, it would be seen that prices are actu ally lower than the average subnor mal, so to speak. People have always complained of the cost' of living, and doubtless they always will. In one of Benjamin Franklin's letters, he tells of staying over night at a tavern. For his bed and breakfast and for the en tertainment, as he puts it, of his beasr, he was charged a shilling, and he de nounces the landlord as a profiteer. Samuel Pepys carefully noted the cost of everything he . bought and generally complained of it. He entertained the William Penns "to a fowl or two, and anchovies, and a noble dish of carp, and sweets brought this day from town, and better wine that Sir W. ever had in his cellar. A fine feast, all very noble, and my rich 4plate show ing to very great, advantage, and Sir W., jealous as a man ever was to see the great State to which I have come. It all costs- me IS, 9d, a round sum." The tax board has decided at Atlantic- City that an unobstructed ocean view is worth $170,000. Unobstructed by hosiery, that is to say. Speaking of one thing and another: "The rolling stone gathers no moss" but it's a good thing for sharpening a dull axe. A LIGHT LUNCH. (From story in Boston Transcript) He eagerly swallowed every word she bestowed upon him; he fed upon her every look, he lived upon the smiles she gave him. Some, men kiss their wifes, others don't shave. The British delegation will be ."dry" during the conference and no liquors will be shipped from London for the personnel. This action is taken in de ference to the laws of the United States. But delegates and others may bring private supplies with them, which seems to settle the whole matter without hurting anybody's feelings. . YES! STUDY NOT TO FALL! (From The New York Herald) An aviator must shudder when his i motor stalls at a height of seven and three-quarters miles. At such an al titude, however, he has a good deal of time to study the book of instructions. The senate has refused to cut the tax on small incomes. We take that as a personal grievance. Nothing so unsettles a man's mind as a lot of unsettled debts. SOUTHERN RAILWAY SCHEDULE Passenger Train ttearevuTes. Arrival and departure of Passeneer i trains. Charlotte, N. C.
