r I 14 THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 14, 1921. Bob"!! byCarlysle RDolcomb " THE WORKERS ARE IJl SI ALONG THE RIVER. "Wh.it kind of a noise was that I heard?" whispered Silky, the Monkey. "That was a noise in the river," replied the King in a whisper. While they were listening for an other noise who should come along but Major Pole Cat. He had been out with Mrs. Tole Cat for an afternoon walk through the forest, lie was a fellow with great leisure. Tt didn't make any difference to him whether it rained or snowed. If he took a. silly notion in his head to go out for a walk he went. And it didrft make any difference about the daylight or th; lirk. He would just as soon walk !orth in the day time as in the night. "Well of all things." said the Chief of the Forest, "I supposed you wer:; in your house taking a sleep." spoke to Major in a low tone of voice. "What are all of you doing here?" ir.auired Major. "It seems to me I have seen that follow before." pointin.',' his flnerer at Silky the Monkey, and beginning to laugh. "Well, laugh you foolish thing'. It i no matter to laugh at. I wish yiu would get scared at yourself some time and just cover your coat with that dreadful fluid." Major was laugh ing for this was the first time he had seen Silky since the monkey thought hr? was catching Jack, the Rabbit, by the side of the path. Instead he had jumped out on Major and had been covered with poison fluid. "I haven't gotten away from the smell yet. Just laugh if you want to." Major couldn't help it he just had to laugh. "I wouldn't have done tha for anything had I known it was you. -fter this you want to say something about it before you. jump." "Oh you just think you're smart that's all," said Silky in disgust. "Slash, slap " again they heard the sound that had puzzled Silky as they stood at the bend in the river. All the forest was alive. Down the river a little way there could be seen Three Legs, the Muskrat. busy work ing about his house. Every now an.l than he would stop and stand upon his N SPUR & MOMENT 333 . 54 . Ev He was a great fellow to take care that no one ever saw linn while at worn hind feet to look about for he was a e-reat. fellow to take care that no one ever saw him while at work. Billv Mink was seen to come out o thp river and wander off into the for est. He was without doubt going on the hunt of food. "I'll bet it was that old crank that von heard." said Chief Porky as he looked again in the direction of Mr Mink. "Slap, slap." The noise was. heard aerain. "It's down there behind those trees," said the King. 4 "Oh, i.i that what you are all inter ested in?" asked Major. "Well I can tell you what that is." Thev all moved down the river a bit. Next The Broad "Splash, Flat Tail Slap." Went STAY OUT. ' I went into a Barber Shop To have them trim my hair; I looked around, then picked my man, And sat down in his chair. "Now, make it snappy, please," I said "I have to catch a train." The snail was fast compared with him. His talking gave me pain: I fell for his long line of talk; Tried everything he had. When he had finished with me, boy,. I sure was mighty glad. He boldly handed me his bill; Believe me, I was sore I went in to spend sixty cents- It cost me three bucks more. We are about to arrange with Tex Rickard for the best boxing bout seen in the Garden in many a day. It will be held under the auspices of this col umn and the proceeds will go to the Fund for Decrep t Leather Pushers, and if there is any left over we will buv noekties for the starving Siamese. The' contestants will be James J. Jef fries and Jawn Arthur Johnson. A very sad accident happened to the trap-drummer of a cafe jazz orchestra the other night. The chef came in and stole four of his skillets and his wash boiler and the music was ruined for the entire evening. MARCELLETTES. The urmanvnt conference is taking place :n Washington.

The Prince of Wales may marry a Hindu lady in order to restore peace in India. Restoring peace by marriage is something that a lot of American divorce court judges will never believe in. There is a certain youth attached to one of the foreign missions at Wash ington whose habit is, nhortly after in troduction to some fair lady, imme diately to turn the conversation into channels favorable for the discussion of the tender passion. "I ""observe." said he on one occasion when he had just been presented to a charming young woman, 'that you wear a most attractive locket. Tell me, does it contain the token of some past affair of the heart?" "Yes," smiled the lady, who had been warned cf the diplomatist's weak ness and who thought to have a bit of fun with him. "It, does contain a love token a lock of my husband's hair." "A widow'" exclaimed the susceptible foreigner as he edged closer. "Why, some one told me your husband was alive." "He is," answered the young wo man, "but his hair is gone.' Scientists say w are just entering a period of seventeen years- of bad weath er. Thought we were just finishing 17 years cf it.

September SO and that Eastlake was in the house at the time with Miss Knox. . While the prosecution would not be able to prove, Mr. Mayo said, that Eastlake actually held the hatch et witn which it is alleged his wife was killed, it would show that he stood by and was splattered with her blood. It would further show, he said, that Miss Knox had brought a hatchet to Colonial Beach. W. W. Butzner of defense counsel, in his opening statement said he would undertake to prove that the Baltimore nurse was the actual slayer - of Mrs. Eastlake. He said he would show that Miss Knox was infatuated with the petty officer; that be lived happily with his wifo; that he had breakfasted with her, kissed her good-bye and left the house on the morning of the murder. He would produce a bundle of letters, he said, from Miss Knox to Eastlake to show that she had hounded him against his wll.
