NORTH WIND VISITS TINKER BOB.

hair the wrong way. IN get you when

said Mr.. Musk Rat proudly. "end when
We are In danger he always comes to

Tinker Bob was glad he could be Of
help to his friends in the forest This
day he and Mr.. Musk Rat had built a
sun parlor so that Mr.. Musk Rat and
his family could come out and enjoy
the sunshine and not be molested by
the tricky North Wind and Jack Frost.
The sun parlor was built on an old
log extending from the bank out over
the river very near the door Of Mr..
Musk Rats home. Three sides were
built high to keep out the wind and
were made of fallen leaves and mud
from the river bottom. When the mud
and leaves were dried out by the s-n
the color Of this cozy lounging place
was nearly the color OF Mr.. Musk Rat
himself: so II he happened to fall
asleep, basking in the sun. no one
would notice him II they CHANGED to
pass by.
Alright" said he to the king "ov-
erything Is now ready. I will rcst in
the sunshine and wait for the close of
day"

THOSE usluCkY DceS,

Mason City has or had a club, the
Lucky Dogs" II appears from the
relation Of It's activities that the prin-
cipal pascime consisted of making
certain dice perform to the tune of
seven and eleven and that guessing
contests as 70 the individuality and
collective value Of slips Of printed
cardboard were standard anusenents.
So one night when the lights shone

muftled person cut into the game with
a full hand Of firearms and scooped

body called" his hand. 1t was con-
cededly good" He shot 'en for
$500" without shooting, a seeming

Dogs" were out o luck, IS. o. L." as
the soldier would say.
Luck changed right there. The erst-
while lucky dogs think they know just
who took the pot. They would love to
have their money back. Also they
would admire to put the boot to the
winner; but there again they are un-
lucky, Action looking toward the
satisfaction Of their desires would
bring oct the activities Of the Lucky
Dogs would result in the naming OF
names OF tie members Of the pack,
Rover, Tray. Bull and Ffdo shrink
from publicity as though the Lucky
Dogs were an association Of sheep
killers. They don't want the news to
get home to the kennels. They don't
want the house and watch dogs to
know and canvass the scandal And

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Thomas Cook,
Is IT YOURS?
NOV. %, 1903.


Men are written down in the pages
OF the book of immortality for doing
curious things. Thomas Cook is
written down because he started popu-
lar tourist travel in the world.
He was born in Derbyshire, England,
and was so poor that he went to work
as a gardeners helper when he was
lad OF 10, later to become a wood
turner and printer. He was a village
missionary when he was 20, then
became very active in the temperance
movement. A big meeting was TO be
he'd in a small town and Cook got the
idea OF having the railway run n
special train from the city OF Leicester
for 1t. More than 500 passengers were
taken there and back at shilling a
head-the first popular excursion train
ever run in England. The Cooks tours

OUGHT TO BE SPANKED"
IRolfe Arrow

Unrest is apparent on all sides. Peo-
pie are dissatisfied to the point of being
quarrelsome. Labor. with the best
wages ever received, is discontented
and striking. More people talk Of over
throwing the government than ever
thought OF 1t before. Everybod is
growing about the times, the most
prosperous the nation has ever known
Every body is reaching for profits and
kicking about what the other fellow
makes. II is gloomy picture, isn't IL?
We ell ought TO be spanked. al least
we don't deserve peace. We don't de-
serve prosperity-in f,.ct. we can't
