climbing this tree:I demanded the
Because I've done my share of
climbing already" retorted Farmer
Browns Boy. and he sounded as il
he meant every word he said.
For a long time that dispute as to
who should climb that tree lasted.
Bobby didn't stop to listen to it very
long. 1t gave him just the chance he
had been waiting for. and he took 1t.
He softly stole out along a branch that
reached over to a hemlock tree. and
from there he reached another tree In
which was a hollow big enough for him
to squeeze into. Once safely there he
almost chuckled to think how he had
fooled those hunters. You see, he didn't
know all the time Farmer Browns Boy
had been watching him, and at the
time when Bobby was getting from one
tree to another Farmer Browns Boy
pretended to be angrier than ever. SO
as to keep the other hunters from
looking up.
So, you see. that was case where
Bobby Coon's eyes and ears were not to
be believed. They told him that Farm
er Browns Boy was an enemy, which
wasn't the truth at all You know and
/ know and Farmer Browns Boy know
that if it hadn't been for him some
thing dreadful might have and prob
ably would have happened to Bobby
Coon.

Problems of Convict Labor.
From the Engineering Record.


Any self-respecting yeggman cannot be
expected to take orders from retired
murderer. 1t is beneath his dignity and
he simply won't do it. Now, the muir
derer referred to may be the only man
out of sixty who knows anything about
running an engine, and you may need a
man to run your industrial locomotive
on your road job. So what are you going
to do" You can't fire your men, and you
can't punish them. and, furthermore. they
are not responsible to you. but to some
body else. Of course, the slight fact
that they are working for you ought to
be taken into consideration. In other
words, where convict labor is employed
one convict will not take orders from an
other and as the man in charge OF the
work is not the warden in legal charge
of the men, conflict in authority is likely
to occur.
This is somewhat the condition on the
state highway at Beecher, Ill. The first
difficulty lies in the convict himself and
IS not easily remedied, but the latter
conflict of authority--could be solved in
in which the engineer in charge of the
work is given complete charge of the
men by the prison authorities. The sec
ond method-that of close cooperation
between the engineer and the prison rep
resentative in charge OF the men-calls
lations between two radically different
types of men. These problems, however.
are but incidents in the development of
new enterprise. The advantages of
using prison labor are SO many that the
little difficulties are sure to yield in time
between road builders and prison war;

You cannot always believe your eyes;
you cannot always believe your ears
The truth quite often you will find
Is not at all as it appears
Up in the top of a big pine tree in the
Green Forest Bobby Coon was doing
his best to keep out of sight and at the
same time to see what the hunters
who were after him were doing. 1t
was very necessary that he should
know just what they were doing in
order that he might know Just what
to do himself. He ached and smarted
where three shots from the terrible
gun carried by one of the hunters had
hit him, but he had no time to think
ABOUT his wounds now. He was lucky
that they were not worse He knew
that he must keep his wits working
every minute if he would save himself
from worse wounds, or perhaps being
killed.
Around the foot of the tree were
gathered the hunters, Bowser the
Hound and another dog. Bowser and
the other dog didn't seem to be much
interested. You see, they were inter-
ested only SO long as they could smell
Bobby's tracks. and since Bobby had
taken to climbing from one tree to an
other like squirrel there were no
tracks to smell. So they had stopped
barking, and were just waiting around
going to do.

From the Baltimore Sun.

The dictionary informs us that a
foible is moral weakness a weak
point" If this be true. one of the moral
weaknesses of that most famous Balti-
morean. Edgar Allan Poe. was that he
was Unfortunately proud of his feet and
slept with his cat. But other well
known American literary men had their
foibles as we'll as Poe. Nathaniel Haw-
thorne always washed his hands before
reading letter from his wife, and de-
lighted in looking over old advertise
ments in the newspaper files Long
fellow only cared for walking either at
sunrise or sunset. while Oliver Wendell
Holmes always carried a horsechestnut
in one pocket and potato in another
to ward Off rheumatism.
But as half our misery from our
foibles spring." why continue the sad
tale?
