Jimmy Coon and His Friends
The Adventures of the Little People of
the Great Forest
A JOKE ON BENNY MINK.

One afternoon Dick Otter, Sammy
Muskrat and Benny Mink went fish
ing up Murmuring Brook. You know
that all three Of these fishermen
have wonderful patience and skill,
and none Of the little people on
Mirror Pond al equal them as fisher
men. But they had bad luck this
afternoon and all were hungry. and
Benny Mink got very cross and dis
agreeable and went off alone fishing
further UP the brook.
Now Dick Otter wanted to get q
big joke off on Benny Mink, this
afternoon, and 30 he said to Sammy
Muskrat, in a most playful way:
Sammy, I've a fine trick to get
off on Benny Mink"
What is it," snickered little
Sammy Muskrat.
Nov listen," whispered Dick Otter.
Lets call Benny Mink and dare him
to rob the nest of Mr.. and Mrs. King
fisher high up on the opposite bank
of this big pool!"
"All right" chuckled Sammy Musk
rat, that will be awfully jolly" And
so Dick Otter called out very loud:
for we've found something elegant
to eat"
And when Benny Mink was run
ming to meet them. Dick whispered
to Sammy Muskrat. "Now you look
for some fun. You see, Benny Mink
thinks that Mr.. and Mrs. Kingfisher
have both left their young one in
the nest alone. and that the parents
are off fishing. for he told me so
But I saw Mrs. Kingfisher return to
her nest just a moment ago."
When Benny Mink reached the
two fishermen, Dick. Otter exclaimed
Benny, we've found a splendid
lunch for you. You see that hole on
the bank acros this big Pond? Well
Sammy and I have been over there
and listened and smelled at that
front door, and we know that the
nest inside is full of tender and
sweet little Kingishers!"
That's good news indeed, for I'm
almost starved for a game dinner
and Benny Mink grinned from cal
to ear as he spoke and he smacked
his lips with delight. He shouted
back, as be descended the bank: u

The season at Palm Beach this
year is said to predict a white sum-

description are seen. Another thing
which makes us believe that the sum-

manufacturer who has never before
handled a piece of white goods has
ordered yards and yards of white
skirting.
For those who do not like an all

such-beautiful frocks are designed
with vivid colored embroidery. Such
a one as this pictured would make
any woman wish for a bit Of color on
her white gown. It is fashioned on

In fact, he would not believe it had he not seen it. An aged woman left her bed one night during a ter rife bonn bardment. Shells from the big guns were being hurled against the hospital she was in, and above, aviators were bombing the town. She was kneeling beside her bed in prayer when a bomb crashed through the roof and directly through the pillow on which she had been sleeping a few minutes previous. She said prayer saved her. life, said Colonel Van Schaick, so we can take our pick of prayer Or poker.

Colonel Van Schaick took a United States senator to the school one day, being almost constantly under fire. It seemed he said, as if the enemy knew there was a senator around, and everything they had was sent over after hina, but he made the trip :n safety. The senator saw the children and they sang for him, and as he lifted a little tot into his arms, his fingers touched a wound in her leg. She had been wounded, while others had been killed before they fled with their parents. One day Colonel Van Schaick came across woman on the roadside, all alone and apparently tired after 8 journey. She was the mother of one of the children at the school and as the child recognized her, the little one ran toward her and fell into her arms, almost mad With joy. The mother embraced her, anI then it was seen that one arm had been shot away, yet she arose at 4 o'clock in the morning and made the jouRneya to sjVisit her. child, and would have to. sarise at , o'clock the next morning in order to be back On time.

 Colonel Van Schaicll had an oppor- tunity to know the heroic ruler of k inc work near him. He and his wife are two of the great figures produced by the war.
 Praises King Albert.
 King Albert is an unselfish, demo- cratic, honest man, believing, as he expressed himself, that kings live to serve their people. There was noth- ing dramatic about the way the king said this, according to Colonel Van schaick. He said it honestly. He believed in sending his sons to public schools because, he said, they should learn with other boys and endure with other boys. The great queen of Bel gium, courageous, sympathetic and intelligent, was one of the greatest factors in the success of the Belgian army in holding off and repulsing the German onslaught. Her cheerful hope and skillful nursing helped won derfully to keep up the morale of the fighting men. She is a practical nurse, and to her, wading about in mud and dirt, in constant danger, in the trenches and everywhere her men were, was just as much her duty IS it was the duty of her people. It was she who noticed the work of Dr. Nof, who later visited the United States with the royal party, and his work in a small hospital under the direction of the Department of the Interior. She had him transferred from that hospital and placed him in charge of the medical department of the Bel, gian army. She is a wonderful woman, one of the great figures pro- duced by the war. e.n! :F.,a3r -

RED GROSS. WORKER
 TELLS HIS STORY
Col. Van Sehaick' in Sunday Ad- dress at Y. W..C. A.

Colonel John Van sSchaick, Jr., who served overseas with the Red Cross
 and with the Rockefeller Relief Mis- sion during two years of the wat,
 spoke at the Y. w. C. A. yesterday
 under the auspices of that association and the Red Cross He declared that the Red Cross work was equal to the greatest of any. carried on overseas and maintained that it actually laid the foundation to final peace.
 We. helped those who helped us by giving their loved ones to the cause before we entered the war;" he said, and We also built Up a foundation ot friendly relations and close co-opera- tion among foreign countries on which, I hope, will be built the super structure of a lasting peace.'
 During his first term of foreign service, Colonel Van Schaick was in Belgium with the Rockefeller Mission and was also in Germany and had an opportunity to observe Germany in war times. He also saw the German army pass through Brussels on an onward march., little knowing that 1n a comparatively short time the army of.that power would pass through the same Bfussels, defeated.
 Five Great Works. : The, work of the Red Cross might be divided into five parts, as follows: Soldiers, civilians children, refugees, people in occupied territory and oc- cupied territory which later became territory. '.
 Work for Boldiers was divided into two parts. The fighting soldiers who had their health and strength were 1 looked after and the wounded and ! sick Hso6fiers !: We're also cared for. 1 Work for civilians included attention given to those who, while not in the army, were, nevertheless, working for. the army on roads and other lines of necessary Ia abor. Children needed | care, and, Colonel Van Schaick said, next to working for the soldiers work for the children was the most fasci- hating. Among the refugees, he said, were old and young, some from the l paths of destructive shells and bombs, while others marched along in front l Of a. victorious army, not knowing l when they would be cared for or if they would live. to have another home. !
