JACK THINKS IT SAFER UNDER
THK BKl).
The first one to enter the palace of
the Forest King was Jack, the Rabbit.
He was all e.cited. There were so many
creatures wanting to see the King that
Jack was afraid that they might want
to see him before he could get inside.
And he knew that if Reddy Fox ever
caujrht him outside the. King's palaca
he would never see the King again.
"My. T m glad I got in here before
Redely saw me." said Jack.
"T thought I heard you singing," said
Silky.
"You did hear me singing, but I was
scared nearly to death when Sammy
Squirrel told me that Reddy Fox was in
the crowd."
"Well don't you worry. Red Fox will
not harm you now. He will wait till
the King has gone on his journey first,
then look out." said Silky.
"We have all come to say goodby to
the King," said Jack.
"Seems to me you came rather early
in the morning to say goodby." Silky
didn't know whether he was awake or
not. ffe stretched himself and rubbed
his eyes.
"Well, we had to come here early 'n
the morning because this is the day the
King is going and if we didn't aret here
early the Hunter might be in the for
est and catch us before we got hom?,"
said Jack.
"Well, for mercy's sake bring your
friends in the the palace so they can
say goodbye quick for we don't want
any of you caught by the Hunter,"
said Silky.
".Maybe you don't know that this is
the time of the year when the Hunter
comes into the forest to set his traps
and shoot at the folks as they go about
to get something to eat." Jack was too
long telling his story and the door was
opened and in came Reddy Fox next.
"Well, of all things." said Silky.
"What are you here for. Reddy?"
Right here Jack thought it was time
for him to find a hiding place and
under the King's bed lie went,- and he
didn't come out till Tinker Bob called
for him.
Red Fox stood up on hi hind feet
and looked as pretty as ever he could.
"I thought I heard you singing,"
said Silky.
Said he: "I came here to tell the King
I would look after, the forest creatures
while he was gone, if he wanted me to.'
Tinker Bob smiled at Red Fox and
said. "I guess I had better let Major
role Cat and Chief Porky look after the
Forest, for you might be caught by the
Hunter and then who would look after
the folks?"
Xow Red Fox hadn't thought of that.
The thought that was in his mind was,
how easv it would be for him to catch
Jack, the Rabbit, and Mrs. Bob White
if the King was away and would let
him watch over the forest. But when
he thought about the Hunter catching
him he began to feel sorry that he ever
thought of such wicked things.
"Rap. rap. rap." was heard. "Who
comes there?" said the King, and the
door opened.
Can you guess who was there?
Next Mr. Hunter Ruts in an Appearance.

THE MODERN GIRL.
The Modern girl's morals are not
what her mother s were. I was talking
the other morning to a modern girl in
an ultramodern bathing suit.
"My hired chaperon,' she said, as she
brushed a bit of sand from her- bare,
r ound knee "my hired chaperon caught
me kissing' a married man last nigirt."
"Good heavaens," said I. "Whit cliu
you do?"
"I discharged her," said the modern
girl.
THE LIMIT.
I've stood for Volstead prohibition,
But one thing 1 will never stand;
When I am called unto my fathers,
111 go without a monkey gland.
When a laborer loafs, that is maling
ering; when capital loafs, this is busi
ness depression.
Roll stockings are like reputations
hartt to keep up.
THE ONLY LACK.
Mother Well, .Nellie, is your doll
kitchen completely furnished now?
Nellie .u, mama, I still need a po
liceman for the cook."
POME.
The crime was mayhem, but
They freed John Drayjr,
When he bit off the ear of
Of a saxophone player.
N e C PUR & MOMENT
A DREAM.
I had a dream the other night.
Yea, bo! It was a hummer,
A dream that would bring pure delight
To any old town bummer.
1 traveled to a theatre
To be among those present.
The ticket salesman smiled. Yes, sir,
And he was really pleasant.
I got into a taxicab.
A six blocks' ride to do.
The legal fare was just one buck,
He charged me only two.
9
I took a glass of orange juice
And it was mild and placid.
'Twas really made of oranges
And not of prussic acid.
"A Beauty Chorus" said the sign,
Tlti? old familiar booking.
I bought a seat and ized them up.
ii . i. - . j, i
I Complete set of .Fans lingerie can
i now be carried in an ordinary six-inch
! envelope. But why are they wearing so
much over there?
' A man died the other day who could
j write his name equally well with his
j right or left hand; but even at that, it
I is said he died in the poorhouse.
"There are better things than whisky
for a cold," says a doctor. But the trou
ble is when in a hurrysome people can't
think of them.
And two were
jood-looking.
I dropped a penny in the slot,
The crowd let out a shout.
JJul. strange as this may seem to you,
A piece of gum dropped out.
I want into a restaurant
And hung my hat with care.
And when I'd finished my repast,
My hat it was still there.
My dream was shattered, as all are.
'Twas too good to be true.
It was too full of happiness
To last the whole night through.
A lady stood in front of me,
lier aner was not hid.
Did I give her my street car seat?
You know blame well I did.
The other day we were reading an
interview with Bill Hart, th eminent
movie actor, in a magazine. The inter
viewer wrote:
"With Mr. Hart thus in a genial
jframe of, mind, we thought we would
j venture our final and quite personal
! question.
j " 'Is it true that you are engaged
to Jane Novak?' we asked quite
blnutly.
j "Trie ketn eyes of Bill Hart softened.
( He lowered his voice a little: we think
.it was even a bit husky,
j " 'Boy,' he said earnestly, 'she's the
j finest little woman in the world one of
'Clod's own creatures but there's no en
gagement. And I guess there won't be
i one'."
i The next day we read in the newspa
per that Bill Hart, husky voice, soft
I keen eyes and all, had been married to
Miss Winifred Westover.
; That's the way with romance. The
darned thing won't stay put.
What happened to a man who married
his mother-in-law is shown in an ar
ticle taken from The Madison Coumy
Democrat. The marriage or tieorge j-.!
Burner, 44, at Cedar Rapid-s, Iowa, last
Friday, makes him the grandfather ut
six ot his children and stepfather of his j
former w:fe. He married his mother-in-law
Mrs. Julia Davis, 48. He was
divorced a few weeks ago from Mrs.
Iva Buder, daughter of his new wife
and mother of the six little Baders.
London, Dec. 28. Declaring that evi
dence accumulates of the British Gov
ernment's desire to open relations with
Russia, The London Times confirms i
the report of December 20 that Premier
Lloyd-George has suggested a five
power conference, which representa
tives of Russia and Germany would be
invited to attend, early in January. It
says, however, that the conference wiil
not meet until the end of February, at
which time it is expected M. Chitcherin,
the Russian Soviet Foreign Minister,
and M. Litvinoff. will have visited
London and, by their answers to cei
tain questions, will have prepared the
way for the presence of Soviet repre
sentatives at the conference which i3
to be the successor of the abortive
Prinkipo conferences of 1919.
The meeting of British and French
business men, which is taking place in
Paris during the current week, it is
believed will lead to an agreement on
certain broad principles. These will be
submitted to the Supreme Council at
Cannes as a basis for the estbalishment
of an European financial corporation
for the economic and industrial recon
struction of Europe.
For the furtherance of this scheme,
the Supreme Council will, says The
Times, arrange to hold an European
economic conference to which Germany
and Russia may be invited, as well as
the United States and Japan.
The object is to find means for re
storing in Europe of financial confi
dence, extending credit and encourag
ing production in the devastated coun
tr'es. It is agreed, the newspaper says,
that, before international trade can be
re-opened, the following conditions
must be established: First, recogni
tion of private property, which invokes
liability for past debts and the right of
private enterprise to seek profit and
retain what it earns; second, the exis
tence of such legal systems as will
enforce contracts, and, third, financial
and currency conditions which will
give reasonable security to traders.
These conditions, says The Times
are only obtainable by international co
operation and such co-operation can
be made most effective by the forma
tion of the financial corporation men
tioned above. Such a corporation could, !
conditions on which it would be will
ing to finance industries, and recon
struct and restore the railroad systems
of Europe.
The Times, commenting on the
"scope of the present grandiose pro
jject," makes it plain that its chief
object is to provide capital for a
country which it says Bolshevism has
plundered and ruined. "We believe,"
the newspaper adds, "the country will
look with something like dismay on
this gigantic scheme."
BROOKLYN HOSPITAL
KILLED WRONG MAN
New York, Dec. 28. An attendant
in a Brokolyn hospital picked up a
number plate that had fallen to the
floor and placed it on the wrong- bed.
The occupant of the bed died, and
James Crowder, a painter, was in
formed his fatV r had passed away.
Crowder bought floral pieces and a
casket and rented carriages for a fun
eral. It was a sad Christmas week.
His sister was first of those to pass
by the bier at the final service. Sho
feinted and in a moment Crowder
discovered that the dead man was not
his father.
A telephone call quickly brought the
news that the father was still alive.
Today he had recovered and was back
home with his children.

O. W. P. Asks: "Why do they call a
saxophone a muscial instrument?".
Nobody knows O. W. P. any more

we are looking tor a darn iool who

ONE RANGER ENOUGH.
Some decades ago there was a riot
down in Texas and a hurry call for help
was sent to the Texas Rangers, an or
ganization that in those days was some
thing different from the collection of
mail-order cowboys of today.
The Governor wired back: "Rangers
enroute."
The sheriff met the train. One lonely
Ranber little ole Bill MacAuley jyot
off. The sheriff said:
"Oh. my Lord, where's the rest of the
outfit?
"Rest hell!" said Billy, "you ain't got
but one riot here, have you?"

If You Had To Make Your Own
Gas
think of the trouble! Coal and intense heat and
water and air, men and machinery and vast re
sourcesall these would be required.
The making of gas is a highly developed industry.
The piping of the gas to your home and the proper
connection of the pipes to the gas range or other
appliance are quite as important and all a part of
the Gas Service we render.
If you had to make your own gas you'd go back to
using coal or wood. And you'd be justified. We
make gas in quantity and sell it just as cheap as we
possibly can.
