Bobby Coon Has a Strange
Journey.
It's funny how you'll often fnd
That troubles mostly in your mind

It's a fact. More than three-fourths
of the troubles that worry people are
not real troubles at all. They are all
in the mind. They are things that peo-
Pile are afraid are going to happen and
worry about until they are sure they
will happen. and then they do not hap
pen at all. Very. very often things that
seem bad turn out to be blessings. All
of US do great deal of worrying for
nothing. 1 know / do. Bobby Coon did
when he took his strange journey
which I am going to tell you about
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns
Boy and Bowser the Hound had
watched Bobby crawl out of his ruined
house and start off to seek new
house. OF course they had seen right
away that something was wrong with
Bobby for he walked on three legs and
held the fourth one up.
The poor little chap murmured
Farmer Browns Boy. pityingly. THAT
leg must have, been hurt when the tree
fell. l hope it isn't badly hurt. Well
wait few minutes and see what he
does.'
So they waited in their hiding place
and watched Bobby. They saw him go
to the foot of a tree as if to climb it.
They saw him try and fail because he
couldn't climb with only three legs. and
they saw him crouch down in a little

with = kindly twinkle in his eyes.
So Farmer Browns Boy started Tor
home carrying Bobby as gently as he
could. OF course, Bobby couldn't see
where he was being taken, because that
coat was over his head. and, Of course.
he hadn't understood 4 word that
Farmer Browns Boy had said. But
Bobby could imagine all sorts of dread
full things. and ho did. He was sure
that when this dreadful Journey ended
the very worst that could happen would
happen. He was quito hopeless was
Bobby Coon. He kept still because he
had to- There was nothing else to DO.
All the time He wondered where he
was being taken to. He was sure that
never again would he see the Green

pen when this strange journey ended
made him almost forget the pain. 1t
was the first time in all his life that
Bobby ever had journeyed anywhere
save on his own four feet, and. quite
aside from his fear, it gave him a very
queer feeling. He kept wishing 1t would
end quickly. yet at the same time he
didn't want 1t to end because or what
he was sure would happen then.
So through the Green Forest. then
through the Old Orchard, and finally
across the barnyard to the barn Bobby
Coon was carried. 1t was the strang-
est journey he ever had known. and it
was the most terrible, though it needn't
have been if only he could have known
the truth.

MISSOURI MAN WOULD
ENJOIN MCLEAN EXECUTOR
Hopkins Loudon Claims He Is En-
titled to Half Interest in
Illinois Mines.

Hopkins Loudon Of Kansas City. Mo-.
has filed suit for injunction in the Dis
trict Supreme Court against the Amerf-
can Security and Trust Company. as
executor of the estate of John r. Nc
Lean. Mr.. Loudon claims to have an
equitable ownership I'm one-half Of the
celebrated Rosiclare mines in Hardin
county. Illinois, title to which was in
Mr.. Mclean at his death. The plain
tiff asks an accounting and for his
share of the profits.
The court is asked to prevent the
executor or Edward B. Mclean, the son,
from alternating or incumbering the
mining properties. The plaintiff also
seeks to prevent the trust company
from paying over to Mr.. Mclean any
portion Of the income from the half in
terest claimed by the plaintiff.
Joined as defendants with the trust
company are Edward b. Mclean. his
two children. Frederick H. Bugher

center front. With 1t should be worn.
of course. a mannish shirt of flannel.
heavy silk. linen or other fabric that
would lend itself well to tailoring. A
sheer. filmy, distinctly feminine type of
blouse would be quite out Of place with
such a suit
The garment may be made Of novelty
worsted. rough tweed, khaki. heavy
linen or crash, or corduroy. If pre-
ferred a belted norfolk coat may be
substituted for the more severely mas
culine coat shown, but the latter is ra-
ther more effective.
This suit could be worn for riding if
desired. but it was designed and is
recommended for mountain climbing or
rough outing wear.
And If the war in Europe, by taking
men away from their regular activities,
has forced women into mems work and
mems working clothes to the extent
that overalls have become not uncom-
mon in Europe. it is easy to visualize a
regulation army uniform for women
patterned much like the model shown
in the sketch.
Why not army nurses uniforms on
these close-reefed trousered lines?

had surely never seen the light since
the days of old Egypt.
That was an exciting night, and I am
strongly tempted to go into repor-
torial story. instead of clinging to the
fashions which this space demands.
The two leading women exchanged
some unpleasant truths about each
other in French, which to the Ameri-
can ear. bore no marks of an insult:
but they brought the two men to-
gether the next morning at o'clock
in bloodless duel Rodin made the
statue of Aphrodite for the perform
ance. and it was brought on the stage
that night and unveiled. with Rodin
looking on. No one paid any attention
to the decorum that is usually demand
cd of an audience. for Poiret was rising
half the time to demand different COL
ors thrown on the stage. and Richepin
was jumping up and down to tell his
wife what to do, while the marvellous
AleXandrian chorus were trooped out
to take their places in the audience.
and many of them were so tired at II
o'clock that they put their legs over
the backs of the seats in front of them
and went to sleep.
But those are "reminiscences,
