PrickIy Porky Stays in His
Tree Top.

When you sre safe be wise and stay
Till danger passes quite away
If ever anybody felt relieved 1t
was Prickly PoFky the Porcupine, as
he listened to the noise OF Blacky
the Grow and his friends and Sammy
Jay growing fainter and fainter In
the distance He knew that they were
following the Buster Bear and by the
sound of their voices he could tell
Just about where Buster was. His first
thought when Buster left was to get
down out of that tree as quickly as he
could and find some other hiding
place. So he started down.
Half way down Prickly Porky's
slow wits, which had been wonderful
ly quickened by the terrible fright he
had had when Buster so nearly got
him, began to work. He knew from
past experience that when biacky
the Crow and Sammy Jay scream as
they had been screaming. everybody
within hearing hurries to see what
the fuss is all about. Prickly Porky's
eyes are dull. This is because he does
not have to use them great deal
could see no one at all. 1t was as
still as if no living thing save him
self was about But he knew that
things are not always as they seem,
especially in the Green Forest. The
chances were that many of his neigh
could see what was going on. all the
time Buster Bear had been walking
round the foot of that tree. 1t was
more than likely that clever Old Man
Coyote was one of these. If this were
SO it would be just like him to remain
in hiding hoping that Prickly Porky
would do just what he had started to
do, come down.
'If he is hiding down there"
thought Prickly Porky, Il won't have
a chance in the world once l get on
the ground. 1t doesn't seem to me
that L can stay in this tree. j want
to hide somewhere where nobody VIII
know where I am. But L guess after
all this tree is the safest place in the
Green Forest Buster Bear tried to get
me and couldn't. He is the only one
need be afraid of while / am in
tree, and now I know / don't really
need to be afraid of him if ! stay in
this particular tree. I guess I'll stay"
So Prickly Porky stayed. 1t was
just as well he did. Old Man Coy-
ote was hiding down below. He had
heard the news of how Prickly Porky
had lost most of his little spears.
When Buster Bear had at last given
up and had gone away, Old Man Coy
ote had hoped that Prickiy Porky
would do just what he started to do,
come down. When he saw Prickly
Porky start to come down he had
licked his lips and gripned. He had
felt quite sure that he was going to
get the dinner Buster Bear had fail
ed to get. Imagine how disappointed
he was when Prickly Porky stopped
and started up again.

STAR TECHNICALLY ERRS.
Cartoons Prices for HaH-Soling
Include "Heeling."

Through inadvertenoe, the 'front.'

an error in the prevailing price for
the job of half-soling shoes. The
sign outside the imaginary shoe re-
pair shop depicted in the drawing.
which a citizen was scrutinizing WITH
a detected face, quoted the price of
half-soling as "Only $3.50"
From interviews with men engaged
in the shoe-repairing business. it is
learned that this sum is the average
price for new whole soles. quite a
different matter. from q trade stand
point, from half-solea The usual
price for half seling adults footw ear,
it appears. is $l.75, half-soles with
heels, $3.50. Whole soles extend entire

$3.50. Although the average customer
is not so particular as is the trade to
differentiate in these matters, yet
