MAJOR IS SORRY FOR SILKY, THE MONKEY.
Tinker Bob had always been careful
not to surprise Major Pole Cat because
It was Major's custom to accept no sur
prises without meeting them with a
dose of poison acid. Major wouldn't do
that for the world to the King of the
Forest, but how could he know whether
the King would be the next one to sur
prise him or not. There were so many
creatures of the forest who loved to
surprise everyone that he could never
tell when the King would be next.
He didn't need to worry about it how
ever for the King was careful not to
startle him at any time. Major was not
easily frightened. He never ran away
from an enemy in the world. Tinker
Bob had been the King of the Forest
for a long, long time and had yet to see
Rlajpr run away from the largest or the
smallest forest dweller. He always
minded his own business, loved to have
his family about him, took walks up
the mountain side and into the forest
with his little children and Mrs. Pole
Cat, but never molested anyone. That's
the reason he never allowed anyone to
molest him.
Tinker Bob knew all about his habits
and would never surprise him. When
Bob White came calling to the King,
Tinker went away in a hurry to see if

The King was L?t down in the magic
basket near a tree.
by some chance or other he had fallen
into trouble. It could be possible that
one of his children had been hurt for
they were too young to have the pro
tection of poison acid and they were
venturesome little fellows too. It would
be very sad to think of anything hap
pening to these innocent forest children
and that was one reason why the King
wanted to get to the place where Major
was so quickly.
Bob White tried to follow the King
but he was not fast enough. When Tin
ker Bob tapped the Wonderful Stone of
Knowledge the Beautiful Creature of
His Desire was always ready to take
him so quickly that no creature of the
forest could follow them it mattered not
how fast they might be.
The King was let down in the magic
basket near a tree which stood in the
midst of a swampy section of the forest.
He didn't want to make a noise lest he
would frighten Major for he knew that
he must be very near. Presently he saw
not a rod away the whole family lined
up on a stump. There was Major and
Mrs. Pole Cat and their three little chil
dren. Tinker Bob was pleased when he
saw them for he knew at once that
nothing had happened to harm them.
They were out quite a little way from
their home. "Well, Major," said Tinker,
"What does this all mean?"
"O King," cried Major, "I sent Mr.
Bob White after you for I was in a
great hurry. I wanted you to go rind
that silly monkey for he surprised me
and before I knew who he was I gave
him a dose of acid right in the face."
"Oh," said the King, "if that is all
I can tell you that Silky is down bath
ing in the river."
Next Mr. Weasel Hears Good News.
AUNT LAURA TELLS THE SECRET.
Three days later, Arline left Wells
burg suddenly and without any explana-
tions.
It was the kindly Miss Laura who
took her to her train and waved a good
bye to her as she stood, sad-eyed, on the
rear platform, watching the little town
disappear in the distance. It was a
very beaming Miss Laura who finally
called up her old friend, Sally Randall,
to tell her not to be a goose, but come
right over and have a cup of tea and a
talk.
As fast as she could navigate that
lady got into her best bib and tucker
and flew over to the little house on the
hill.
"My, but I wish I could dare to look
and feel as happy as you do, Laura,"
she said, as she saw her hostess, all
smiles, standing in the window watch
ing for her.
"Maybe when you've had a talk with
me you'll feel and act the same, Sally.
I have a heap of news for you, so come
right in and set down while I fly and
get the tea ready."
Mrs. Randall did as she was bid and
felt suddenly ten years younger than
she had before. It was Laura's infec
tious cheerfulness that did this to most
of her frineds when they were in her
presence.
Over their tea cups the two women
gossiped amiably and it was not until
almost leaving time that Miss Laura
confided to her erstwhile chum just why
she had called her over.
"You, madam, are going to be a

grandmother. "What do you think of
that?" she said with a twinkle in her
eys.
"A what? Grand mother ?" and
here the amazing Mrs. Randall burst
into tears.
"Don't let me worry you," she gasped
between sobs. "It's all quite as it should
be, Laura. I'm a foolish old lady, and
I'm crying for joy. The first good cry
of that kind I've had since my Ned
was born. '
"I feel as happy as you do about it,
Sally. This is the solution of the whole
business as far as those two children
are concerned. I told you, ,rhdn't I, that
everything'd come out all riht?"
"Yes, and as usual you are r:ght,"
burst from Mrs. Randall admiringly, as
she looked at her frined. "I wish I had
listened to you long ago, Laura, and
this miserable unhappiness might have
been averted. What makes me feel most
wicked, just awfully so, is that my own
little Janey came to me this morning
and told me that it was Cherry who
saved her from running away with
Billy Sills. Yes, my dear, she was right
at the church door when caught, and
he a bigamist! One of those real bad
men! I knew all alonv there was some
thing wrong with jane, she's moped
ever since she got back. She seemed
to have something on her mind, but
woudn't tell us anything. It was be
cause of not hearing from Cherry and
seeing how 'inhappy her brother was
that made her 'fess up." Then Mrs.
Randall broke into a full r.ital of what
had been told her by ner daughter.

SOMETIMES.
Orlando Leander Eliphalet Brown
Lived down on a farm far away from
the town.
He lived by the rules that the scien
tists told,
Who said he would sure be a hundred
years old.
He lived in the country to get the
pure air,
And there was no microbe near him
anywhere.
The dishes he used, they were all ster
ilized, And all of his victuals he had analyzed.
He used no tobacco in all of his life,
His diet was daily prepared by his
wife.
He went to his bed every evening at
nine
And never touched even a glass of
light wine.
His life, scientific brought him hunks
of fame
And he was a shark at the right liv
ing game.
But still, spite of all the physicians
could do,
He passed from this life when he
reached forty-two.

And washed his old map in a castiron
sink.
He mingled with crowds and by autos
was bumped
And smoked an old corncob so strong
that it jumped.
He'd play cards each night till a quar
ter of two
And did everything that a man
shouldn't do.
Of living by science he never had
heard,
He knew not the meaning, in fact, of
the word.
He went to the prize fights and sat
in the smoke
And acted just like an old tough city
bloke.
He is ninety-six years now, unless we
forget,
And it's rumored around that he's go
ing strong yet.
Of course, now, the scientists always
are right,
Unless they are wrong, you'll agree

VEST POCKET ESSAY
At no time in the history of man
kind has so much attention been be
stowed on personal comfort, personal
convenience. Take so simple a matter
as a man's vest. It is getting closer
to him every day, especially as he
grows older and more prosperous.
From a mere article of adornment, a
subterfuge behind which to hide the i
unlovely radiance of the harmless, nec
essary galluses, it has risen to a field
of paramount importance, of almost un
limited usefulness, of service. And
solely by reason of its pockets. Pencils
and sometimes small change, it still
carries. But no longer is the scope of
its general usefulness so limited, so
hampered. We now have with us vest
pocket cameras, vest pocket flashlights,
V. P. dictionaries, V. P. Stamp holders.
Toilet sets, shoe shiners, the list is
endless. The crying need of the age
for the comfortable portage of' vest
pocket appliances is a truck. An I you
can get some truck these days for your
vest pocket.
FACT
The tactful maid is the sum of all
innocence as she says: "O, George that
display of chocolates is perfect."
Still a lot of the girls who can eat
soup out of the side of a spoon can
chew gum on. both sides of their faces.
Some young men seem more able to
raise mustaches than to get a raise, in
pay.
