STALWART HERO BOLD
WHO is % YEARS OLD

There was bit of excitement Tues
day on the Bangor road. 1t was all
caused by q fetid little black and
white animal scientifically known as
mephitis mephitica. sometimes face
tiously. termed "Skunkus American

They used to be called. also. Pole-
Cats-animals Of this species,-but in
order to preserve neutrality the folks
on the Bangor road did not so refer to
this member Of the race.
This slow-moving creature OF
weasel like habits disturbed the peace
Of Bangor road by entering the cellar
Of a peaceful citizen dwelling thereon.
and the lady Of the house called a
gentleman to discuss with her a cam
paign to drive out the invader. In the
vicinity there abides a young man,
% years of age. who is known
throughout the community as a fine
marksman and after the council Of
war the modern William Tell was
summoned.
Armed with a 12-gauge shotgun and
accompanied by the man and woman
the hero Of the hour descended with
manly caution into the cellar and f1n-

panions searched there and here. but
the cunning animal could not be
found as easily as had been expected.
At length the woman deserted what
she believed to be a bunch Of fur
amongst some bean stalks and pointed
it out to the gunner. He stealthily but
bravely approached the substance in
dicated by the woman's forefinger and
decided that it was not his prey. He
said as much.
'Snothing but bean stalks" he
whispered, poking the suspected bunch
with the barrel of his infant cannon.
It proved to be other than bean stalks
and. emitting tat-like snarl, the
bunch took life and snailed of into
another hiding place. In the intense
excitement Of the moment the marks

sdmmer finery and waited for her
Companion to swim ashore to receive
her sincere apologies for her misstep.
Suddenly she noticed that instead OF
swimming the short distance to the
float he was thrashing the water fran
tically and was on the point OF SINK
ing again. Throwing off her sweater
and removing her shoes she leaped IN
to the water. caught him under the
arms from behind. and swan with
him to the float When he was breath
ing freely and looking sheepisn she
apologized for tipping the canoe over.
He replied: Don't rub it in! I have
to thank you for my life in one breath
and apologize in the next for going
out in the canoe with you and not be-
ing able to swim a stroke" She told
her good friend that she would &C
cept his thanks and apology If he
would at once become a swimmer.
Needless to say he did that very thing
in a very short time.

swimmers: do you want one of them
