MISTAKES

Mistakes are thing anybody can
make successfully.
-IhaFe-knewH- people whe-seemed
to fail at every other kind Of manu-
featuring who could make as splendid
specimens Of mistakes as one could
wish to see.
Yes and do it easy!
! have made mistakes.
Yep, I have.
I used to think I made none.
Now I list that think as one Of the
biggest mistakes I ever made or knew
about
These days I find my self wondering
II I am not the fellow who invented
them.
Sometimes q fellow takes a miss
that nobody else would take, and aft
finds out 1t was a mistake.
Anybody under twenty never admits
admits that he has made a mistake.
And he is usually honest about it.
It anything goes wrong, blame it
onto somebody else.
After twenty-five he begins to think
of a few he made when he was eleven.
BY h time he Is forty-flve he will
forget the mistakes he made in early
youth because, in looking back over
the trail. the little ones Of childhood
are completely hid by the whoppers
he has made since he vas thirty-fve,
I|don't know why people have to
make mistakes. II
NBut they are built that way. I
j, I believe I never made the same
mistake twice. 80
This encourages me.
For as I look back over a mistake
dotted career, I believe I have reach
ed the point at which I cannot make
any mistakes without repeating.
But that may be q mistake.-

JIMMY COON COMBS

GET a. BITE TO EAT
SIXTEEN.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN,
Peter Rabbit and BODY Skunk were
hunting. one sunshiny day In winter,
among the hemlocks and the jumpers.
It had been a long cold winter and
there was considerable snow on the
ground. But these two brave hunters
were able to dig down through the
snow, under the e~vergreens, and find;
some food. IL
Peter Rabbit. come here quick, for
I've found something very strange"
exclaimed Bobby Skunk. And Peter
Rabbit anne running to see the
strange sight. Look sharp at these
tracks. Peter Rabbit ! ask you what
tracks are these in the snow? ~ ex-
claimed the astonished Bobby Skunk.
why, those look like the tracks Of
a Coon, II my eyes do not deceive me-"
gasped Peter Rabbit, q he rubbed his
eyes, to see II he could see straight.
Now Peter Rabbit, you know that
Coons sleep In winter. Just as Bears
do; n they do not wake up until
spring. So I want to know what these
me that, Peter Rabbit, II you know
80 much!" demanded Bobby Skunk.
Il remember that Jimmy Coon told
me ono that he sometimes woke up
In the middle Of the winter. on a sun
shiny day. and that he went out into
the snow to get something to eat,
when he got awfully hungry, and
couldn't wait another minute for
spring to come" answered the wise
little Peter Rabbit.
well, I don't believe q word Of that
nonsense" said Bobby Skunk. Jimmy
Coon doesn't know what he is talking
about. I saw him out Of doors
in the winter. He's q coward, and
doesn't dare to come out In the cold
and snow"
whats that you say? ?" yelled q
loud voice right behind them: and
Bobby Skunk and Peter Rabbit almost
jumped out OF their furry overcoats,
Tor they were almost scared to death.
They both jumped, and started to
run, for dear life, for home.
But the stranger called out Come
back here, you little 'fraidy-cats,' and
meet your old 'friend!"
And they both stopped and looked
back. but they didn't know the funny
looking stranger, and they thought
he was trying to fool them; and that
really he was an enemy, and intended
to do them harm.
Peter Rabbit, who is that strange
creature? Did you ever see such a thin
and wrinkled up bag OF bones as that
four legged thing?" asked the aston-
ished Bobby Skunk.
Not In ali my born days" gasped
Peter Rabbit. as he trembled with a
great fear. why. he looks empty, so
that you'd think he'd never had a bite
to eat in his life! Bobby Skunk, upon
my word, I believe it's a ghost of some
fo~ur-legged creature! Come, let's run
home as fast as lightning!" And both
started to run.
Hello. there. you two foolish
scamps!" called out Jimmy, don't
you know your old friead, Jimmy
Coon? I'm no ghost!"
And Peter Rabbit and Bobby Skunk
an up to Jimmy Coon and shook his
thin hand And Peter Rabbit said.
why, Jimmy Coon, what's the matter
with you? Have o been sick? Why
you look so h you must have on
your observation-disclosures clothes!"
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1917-11-08
