SILKY CATCHES TH E WRONG FELLOW.
"O King of the Forest," said Silky,
the monkey, "I saw the fellow who
made the tracks, but I can't under
stand him at all."
"What is there ahout him that you
cannot understand?" asked Tinker.
"Why if it was Ja-k, the Rabbit, he
would not have run away when I call
ed to him for Jack is a friend of
'mine and he knows my voice and I
have carried him across streams and
played with his children. He never
would have gone away into the busnes
if it had been him who came out of
the water."
"What did this fellow look like
anvwav?" asked Tinker Bob. He
wa'nted to know if Silky really had
seer, somebody or just thought he
had had seen the creature.
"I say, O King, he looked like
Jack, the rabbit only his fur was
wet and I never knew Jack, the
rabbit, to have wet fur. But what
surprises me is to think that he
ran nwnv and hid when I called."
Siiky was so nervous that he shoox
ah over. It might have been a
creature he never had seen before and
ij.' it was he probably would never see
him again for he went away to hide.
"Just wait a moment and we'll see
what will happen." raid the King.
They were silent for a moment or
two and Silky listened as he never
listened before. He was hoping that
the fejlow might cme back.
Presently there was a sound, "Thump
thump," and Silky's heart went pitty
pat. for he was sure that he would see
this frightened creature again. "Thump,
thump" this time it was closer. Silky
thought to himself that if the creature
came close enough he would take no
. chances on losing him again he would
Jump out and grab him by the ears
nnd make sure of knowing exactly who
it was.
"Thump, thump," the sound came
closer than ever: It was right near
him, just the other side of a clump
. of bushes. Silky loosed through them
. and saw a movement that set his

"Eczema broke out in pimples on
my face and arm. The itching and
burning were ao severe that I
scratched and irritated the affected
parts, and I could not sleep at night.
My face was disfigured and my cloth

He said to himself, "I'll jump over
that bush and get him, and hold him
tight then I will see if I can' find
out who made those tracks."
Tinker Bob knew what was in Sil
ky's mind and he watched with inter
est his every move. lie made ready
to spring as there came another
"Thorn n. thumn." He was sure then
and he did jump over the bushes right
on to the back or the creature wno

"Now I have you," he cried and
when he came to examine this fellow
he found that he had jumped on to
thr hack of Jack, tne Rabbit. "Well
of all things, so you are the fellow
who made these tracks.
"Is my coat wet?" asked Jack as he
stood by. "I haven't been in the
water."
Silky looked him oyer and then sat
down "to scratch his head. "There is
something very strange about this I
see" he said. "But I know now that
you are not the fellow. Where do
you suppose he can be?"

Oh, how I love December,
The best month of the twelve.

And save :in.l save and save.

THE CLEVER EDITOR.
A Virginia editor threatened to pub
lish the name of a certain young man
who was seen hugging and kissing a
girl in the park unless his subscription
to the paper was paid up in a week.
Fifty-nine young men called and paid
up the next day, while two even paid
a year in advance.

Princess Bibesco, daughter of Margot
Asquith, has shocked Washington diplo

Probably it shocked diplomatic circles

CONFIDENTIAL.
Oh, we think it really charming -Thus
to talk of all disarming,
Though the rumors are alarming
From the sunny isle of Yap;
And we feel, without aspersion, .
This may be a mild diversion
An alarum and excursion
Of the snappy little Jap.
And we love the Bolsheviki,
Though we think them rather sneaky,
And their ship of state too leaky
For a confidential tour.
Still, we have the joyous Prooshian,
We notice a glaring headline in a
magazine advertisement:
"Do You Want More Money?"
No. That is one thing we are glad:
to say we do not want. There are many
other things, of course, that we would
like, but if we had any more money
we wouldn't know what to do with it.
Money is a great burden, so all the
moneyed men tell us. They hate it. ft is
the bane of their lives. "Money is not
everything." they say. They should
know, and we are willing to fe.ke their
word for it. Money means nothing what
ever to us and it never has.

RAILROAD EARNINGS
CONTINUE TO CLIMB
Washington, Dec. 8 Net railroad
earnings for October amounted to $105,
196,283, the largest figure in many
months, according to figures compiled
yesterday from Interstate Commerce
Commission reports by the Association
of Railway Executives. The earning
rate thus demonstrated, the association
said, however, would be but 5.4 per
cent on the railroad property involved,
and was accompanied by a "reduction
of maintenance to the lowest standards
consistent with safety". .

gist was upstairs, partaking of his
noon-day meal. His wife was relieving
him in the store. The customer ap
proached the wife, threw 50 cents on
the counter, and said (as she under
stood it) "I owe the firm 50 cents." She
asked him what for, and he simply re
peated what he had said, "I owe de
firm 50 cents." She told him she
would give him a receipt, and her hus-1
band would credit it to him, but he
said ho-didn't want a receipt. "I- owe
de firm 50 cents," he reiterated.
She called her husband down. He,
of course, understood immediately. "Io

he wants."

I've eaten from the ice box
Until it's darn near bare;
I've got the sink piled up so high
No dishes can go there.
There ain't a button on my shirts;
My socks ain't got no feet;
The parrot has the chicken-pox,
The cat has prickly heat.
The beft ain't made,
The floor ain't swept;

And I ain't slept.

Have quite an easy life.
Although it may be easy,
I'm glad I ain't my wife.

You know what calomel is. It's mer
cury; quicksilver. Calomel is dnageroua.
It crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones ana should never be
put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
j your druggist and get a Dottle of Dod
i son's Liver Tone iur a few cents
j which is a harmless vegetable substi
tute tor dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day's
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ens you right up and you feel great.
No salts necessary. Give it to the
ch'ildren because it is perfectly harm-
less and can not salivate.
