Old Man Coyote Catches a
Young Fisherman.

Farmer Browns boy watched the fam
lily fishing party at the little pool in
the Laughing Brook deep in the Green
Forest until it moved on to the next
pool. Then he remembered his own
fishing, and the fat trout he had prom
ised to take home. Il understand now

Little Joe otter and his family got up

through the woods and get ahead of
them
SO Farmer Browns boy tramped in
half circle through the Green Forest
until he once more reached the Laugh
ing Brook, this time at place where
he felt sure that he was ahead OF the
otter fishing party. IN 4 minute ne
was sure of it. for something was tug
ging al his line, and when with sharp
trout Farmer Browns boy forgot all
about everything else.
Now il just happened that that very
morning Old Man Coyote had taken
it into his head that he would visit the
Laughing Brook and see what was
going on there. 1t may be that back
in that shrewd head Of his there was an
idea that there might be some help

careless young children of one kind or

Anyway, he was going up the Laugh
ing Brook as Farmer Browns boy was
fishing down the Laughing Brook. and
so they met. Farmer Brown's boy
didn't know this. however. He didn't
know a thing about it. You see, he
was so intent on fishing that he had no
eyes for anything but the water and
his line where it entered it. So he
didn't see old Man Coyote at all. But
Old Man Coyote saw him and lifted
his lips from his long strong teeth in
most unpleasant way as he sneaked
past through the brush. Probably he's

Live Frog in a Piece Of Coal.

A collier who was working recently
at the coal face in the twenty-inch, or
Smith-coal, seam at the Trafalgar Col
liery. Forest of Dean, states that about
10 am. he was holing underneath the
coal seam. which is about twenty
inches thick. He had holed in the un-
derearth a distance Of about fifteen
inches. and, as was the usual custom,
to enable him to hole farther UNDER
meath he struck the pick into the coal
face a distance of about six inches
from the floor. At the point where he
did SO a thin band Of shale-black
earth. technically known as a parting
was running along the coal face The
pick, where he pierced the coal. APP

the piece of coal below the pick fell
off up to the parting above spoken of.
disclosing a small cavity. out OF which
at the same time fell live frog. 1t

with bright yellow band running the
whole length of the back. The exam
iner of the district came up just at
the time and took charge of it. Shortly
afterward. at the request of the man

the shale adhering to ii was found. In

THE "N0RIH FORTY"
Copyright. 1915, by W. Werner,

Copyright 1915 by W Werner,
The north forty" lay like a floor, a
foot above high point. and a safe seven
inches above highest water mark. The
work of clearing it had been hercu-
lean, but it had been a labor of love.
To Robert and Edna Greig it was but
one more hope become a reality. When
the forty shmmered in the warm sun
"a great garden bed, to be later
checked with green and then covered
with dense growth of black green
corn-their delight was unbounded.
Like children, too. they spent in plans
the money it would bring long before
it was theirs to spend. Roberts desire
was to stock the knobs and worn-out
points of the river brakes. but Edna
wanted roomy additions to their one
not overlarge room and reveled in
planning dainty furnishings.
Days passed into weeks The corn
grew by leaps and bounds. and by the
last of June it was too high for an
other ploughing. Edna was at the end
of the furrow when Robert finished
and they laughed gayly.

,rumbIed Old Man Coyote, bitterly, as
he went on his way up Laughing
Brook
He had gone but very little way
when his sharp ears caught the sound
of faint splash in little pool just
ahead. Instantly he dropped fiat on
his stomach and began to crawl for
ward an inch at time, his eyes blaz-
ing with eagerness. his sharp ears
cooked forward. Presently he saw Lit
tie Joe Otter and Mrs. Joe swimming
and a great disappointment swept over
him. He knew that they were far too
smart to be caught by him, and even If
they had not been he would have had
no mind to feel their sharp teeth when
other food was to be obtained without
having to fight for 1t.
Right at that moment he saw the
two Otter children. All his disap-
pointment was forgotten and the eager
look returned to his eyes. He couldn't

and he licked his lips hungrily. Inch

little Otters climbed up on the bank

brought his hind feet under him ready

wanted that young Otter. but he was
far too crafty to risk fight with Little
Joe and Mrs Joe unless he had to. So
Presently Little Joe and Mrs. Joe
called to the two children and started
down the Laughing Brook. The little
Otter in the water obeyed instantly.

There was nothing to fear there any
