the two coons had the wire torn In n

attncks, and they were completely hidden
by the deep grass that had so long tempt

shade and TO pun out a fat juicy cricket.
Alas! wild and free again! How they
did scamper. They seemed TO play u
genuine game of tag out there in the open
with each other: until one OF the two saw
or heard something of interest In a elump
Of brush a few feet to the left, while the
other started on n direct path to a dis
tant hen coop, where a score OF fat lows
slumbered in the darkness. The whole
hen coop was rank with the sweet smell
of fresh chicken, and to this the old coon
longed to go, nor did he bother with some
trihlng object that rusued in the grassy
clumps. To return TO the smaller, ouls

chicken coop a noisy sound broke the

the coop rang with loud cackling of a
score Of hens, scared, indeed, as they saw
the mingled body Of their kin dragged
across the wooden floor.
Every now and then a soft, satisfied
sound could be heard as the old coon drank
of the rich, warm blood. The surrounding
walls and a good part of the floor was
spattered with blood, to say nothing Of
the mass Of feathers that luttered in the
passing breeze.
A coon is never satisfied with only one
kill when there is more to be had for a
little trouble. And, too, a coon never
thinks of the future. His brain is too
small to burden with the future or

siders worth thinking about and now the
present is catching chickens.

SATURDAY, TALK

My Dear Boys and Girls
/ have been often asked II King Ed"afn
is the actual ruler of England. Inc Iol-
owing clipping from a local paper an
swers this question so wen that 1 fepiV-
duce it: -
''The real ruler of the British Empire
is not the titular sovereign. nor the hereul-
tary nobility, IL is the leader Of the pohur
cal majority, who derives his power solely
from the direct vote of the people. Inc
Prime Ministe of England is subordinate
neither TO the King nor the House OF
Peers. Every man who shares with MIN
in the work of the government Is ms
subordinate.
'Following a general election the SOW
erelgn sends for a m or the ma
iority party and instructs him to form A
government. This is one of those hctions
Of the constitutional authority of the SOW
ereign to which the English people cling
as to the heritage of tradition. Tine sum
mons is delivered, but Il Is merely q Iofln.
The party leader Is such not by the grace
of the sovereign but by the choice OF ne
majority; not by election but because he
has the qualities of leadership.
THE leader, having received the soVer-
elgn's instructions to form a government.
becomes by that mandate the autocrat OF
the empire. His power is absolute: Lake

ever he pleases a member OF his caoinet'
but, unlike the President, he Is not IN
fuenced by geographical. considerations
nor does he have to Submit his nominal
.tions to the Senate. In both countries the
members of the cabinet hold office at the
will OF the appointing power, but the
tenure of office is even more precar1ous
in England than 1t is in the United States.
Here a minister may differ from M Presi-
dent on a matter of policy and not feel IL
incumbent upon him TO resign: in bngland
there can be no differences. Either a min
lister agrees with his chief or he resigns.

no member of the cabinet may make pub
