In this way Patsy learned much
of the "lingo" of the ticket-seller

One day Patsy was missing. 1t

When Robin Boy woke up the
next morning he jumped out of
bed and ran to the window to see
if the wonderful bird which his pa

down faster and faster, until Rob
in could ha dly look across the
street.
"Look tomorrow, if it's fair
You shall see me in the air."
That's what the paper said, and

Robin turned away from the
window with a quivering lip.
Can my bird fly in the rain?"
he asked, as mama began to
brush his tangled hair.
II am afraid not" said mama,
but I'll tell you what we will do.
There is a picture book in the
library that has pictures of lots
and lots of different kinds of birds
You can see if you can find your
bird in it"
So after breakfast Robin sat
down on the rug in front of the
fire and looked in the picture book
for the bird that had no feathers.
There were eagles and crows and
robins and bluejays and sparrows
and canaries and great white swans
and tiny humming birds and great
many others but all had feathers.

Then mama laughed.

At the rate OF progress which is being made

that the winners Of the high school debate in

It would have been most fortunate in our
State if municipal suffrage could have been con-
ferred as an object lesson upon some Of our
towns. Those who think that the women DC
not desire suffrage, that it would demoralize
them or that they would demoralze the sIf-

views ought to have welcomed the opportu unitv

DUPING THE GULLIBLE.

Some vendors of whiskey who put it m
ma king large sales by reason of the North Caro-
lima quart every fifteen days law are now al
work trying to dupe the gullible with the offer
of whiskies Of so high proof ALLOW the
purchaser to double the quart with the addf-
ton of quart Of water
A circular which has been received by Pc rticS
in Raleigh sets out that for a dollar quar- the
liquor house Svill ship a quart of $50 proof
whiskey, and that out of this the buyer
make two quarts by the use of water. and thus
'save express charges The scheme is a plain
The whiskey firm is after the dollar auo
the fellow who buys will be stung
That is one plan which is being used in behalf
Of the blind tiger in order that he may find
way to beat the law. There will be other plans
evolved time passes and there will be needed
the vigilance Of the authorities circumvent
the plotters for the sale of whiskey. But this
dollar quart for $50 proof whskey 10 which TO
add quart of water is simply bait thrown out
for suckers Very gullible indeed, will be those
who are duped by it.
