This was Jack, the Wood Rat, speaking. He wanted to remind Silky, the poor silly monkey, that what he had said was about to be proven true. "I don"t want tto hear from you any more," said S'lky.

And don't you remember that you carried me across the stream one" en twice?" 'I know. Mr. Rabbit, but I say those tracks are just like the tracks you , make in the snow and I never saw any j creature in the forest who made tracks ; like you do." j "Well, didn't I tell you there were j trucks in another place that wore like j Mr. Rabbit's but were not his."

"But vou are mistaken, Mr. Mon key, f Vou think that these tracks were made by th? same fellow who made those leading into the brook," said Mr. Wood Rat. "I am surprised at vour ignorance " Silky looked carefully at the new set of tracks to make sure that he was not mistaken. Presently Tinker Rob same along and looked at the tracks also. They did look alike but there was still a difference. The King wanted to see if Silky could -tell what the difference was. - He scratched his head in silence. Tomorrow we will see how it all ended.

Yates Webb, of Shelby, will go to the United States Public Health hospital at Keuil I worth during his stay in the city, for the purpose of conferring citizenship : upon Christopher Garrari and L. Am ' mondo Mallet;i, two bed-patients at the government hospital. Several patients from the Keniiwortn hospital have been naturalized during their stav at the hospital. When Judge ;Webb learned of the desire of the two men to become citizens of the United ! States, and of their inability to leave I their beds, he sent word to them that ho would administer the oath at their bedsides. ed and shet without breaking the fin gers or any of the commandments, says he expects to run for postmaster in the near future. Uncle Ez Harkins says he hopes Ame won't get elected, as the mail is slow enough now with out having an undertaker handling it. Uncle Ez has waited 18 years for one letter. A feller promised to write Uncle Ezra regardin' a dog which the latter was intending to purchase to go huntin' with that Fall, but if the feller wrote, which is doubted here, his let ter will arrive altogether too late, as Uncle Ezra has growed a little too old in the last 18 years to go huntin' and besides just as like as not the dog is too old to do any good. Uncle Ez got stung once before on a dog deal. He bought a genuine mongrel bulldog from a mail order house, but it was found the dog had outlived his usefulness and wasn't no good as a watchdog, as his teeth was all gone. He had a fine set of false teeth, but broke 'em the second day he was here by bitin' Old Cap Whipple on the wooden leg. Uncle Ez says that dog was not only all wore out, but he was also a darn fool, which was the worst part of it.

("Pussy foot") Johnson, American prohibition worker, told the members of the Rotary Club here that his impression after an extensive tour of the country, is that India is more ripe for prohibition than America was Ave years ago. " Mr. Johnson was the principal guest of the club at its tiffin meeting, where he was subjected to a good-natured bombardment of questions. Describing his reception in India which has been an enthusiastic one. Mr. Johnson said he had been wel comed because he represented a cru-; sade that appealed to the people of India. . "In the districts I have visited In the past few weeks," he said, "I have been entertained by every class, front the Viceroy and the native princes downwards, and only on a single oc casion at Patna several days ago did I hear an Indian stand up to oppose prohibition. ' "It was at Patna that I witnessed a remarkable demonstration in sup port of a 'dry' India, a great crowd of nearly 5,000 at the request of the chairman voting on the question by a show of hands. So far as I could see, every hand in the audience and in some instances both was raised imme diately in favor of prohibition, and not a solitary hand against. "I might mention also, the wonder ful gathering we had in a theater at Barodi -with an audience of more than three thousand at which a speak er was loudly hissed for a reference to non-co-operation, but cheered with wild enthusiasm a few minutes later when he declared that the taxpayers of In !ia. would be only too willing to meet ihe additional taxation that may be necessary .-rfter prohibition. "I would like to say." he concluded, "that I have not met a single Brit ish official who has not gone out of his way to be kind to me." SHE CAN CHANGE 'EM. "How can any man. be a woman hater?" asked.
