O. PossUM HEARS IRON LADY DUCK.

%. Postum was on his way to see
Tinker Bob the King Of the Forest.
He hadn't gone very far till someone
overlook him-or, rather, crossed the
path. 1t was Chief Porky, the Chief
Of the Forest. You see, Major Pole
Cat can run faster than Chief Perky,
so 1t was decided between them that
Major should go to the Palace. while
Chief Perky went to find which way
O. Postum was travelling and II pos
sible to hold him up a little while till
Major had time enough to see h
King.
Hello. there" cried Chief Perky.
What's your great hurry? If you
keep going 20 fast you'll lose your tail,
and that would never do"
"oh. what shall I do, what shall I
Lady Duck is gone and I know not
where she is. Surely the King Of the
Forest will help me out"
Don't you remember how you tried
to kill Lady Duck and the King
knows all about it? I think you'd bet
ter wait a bit before o see the King
because the King may think that you
are playing another trick on him. and
he might think that you killed Lady
Duck yourself"
These words from Chief Porky were
not the words that o. Possum wanted
to hear. He was such a silly fellow to
think the King would help him find
Lady Duck when Tinker Bob knew
that all he wanted was for her to lay
for him al egg a day while he was
asleep this winter.
II must see the King anyway" said
o. Postum, 'for he will tell me what
l want to know" So Chief Porky and
O.. Possum ~journeyed to the Palace to-
gether. While they were a little way
off they heard a sound. And behold.
it was none other than Major Pole Cat
who had come out from the Palace to
meet them. He had already seen the
King.
Now" said he, "the King has heard
a terrible story about what you have
done to Lady Duck, and he is not feel

Tinker Bob closed the door to wait
for O. Poesum to come out Of his spell

really thought he would see Lady
Duck again, yet he knew h King
could. do anything.
AS it began to Grow dark o Possum
came u of his silly spell and decided
to look around q bit. There was not
. creature in sight. OF course, he
didn't, know how many there were
for him to do something. He was yet
q little nervous.
You don't think that, an old Forest
Dweller like o Postum can be nervous,
u he can be. He was 20 v that
he couldn't hold hat long tail of his
still a minute. After shifting the air
he decided that there was no one about
that, would tell any stories on him.
This made him feel better, 50 he start
ed to venture forth.
He shifted at the door Of the Kings
Palace, and he walked all about the
place shifting every c%revice. u no
sign Of Lady Duck could he find. Said
O Postum to himself: when it gets
very dark and all the creatures are
asleep, 1 shall climb up and look into
the Kings window. But how shall I
get up there?" g
He walked carefully around to the
window n there he found that the
corn stalk grew right up beside the
window. THAT will be the thing! I
shall climb up the corn stalk and loo
into the window Of the great King of
the Forest, and il I see Lady Duck in
the Kings house I shall jump thru
the window and III away with her
and the King will never find me-"
So o Postum hid himself by the
side of the corn stalk to wait till all
Of the Forest Creatures were asleep.
Now and then he heard a sound
from a nearby tree which told him
that even Jerry the Saucy Jay was not
sound asleep yet, OF cours Jerry
could not see him, but if there was the
least sound that Jerry could catch he

asked o. Postum angrily.
1T was the Saucy Jay Bird, Of
course. You know he always tells
everything he hears or sees, and, he
has old all c. the Forest Dwellers
that you have killed Lady Duck and
that you are going to try to make the
King believe she is lost What do you
think of that?"
o. Postum was getting a little of his

he didn't know how to take it. IF I
ever catch that Jay Bird I will make

cried.
Then Jack the Wood Rat came

else it was her spirit, last night at

LONG IDOL OF SMALL BOY
Famous "Deadwoed Dick" Lived and Died In Full Appreciation of Ills
 Great Popularity.

Deadwood Dick is dead. Ills real name was Richard Bullock, and he died most conventionally at an age of seventy-five years in a hospital at Glendale, Cal.
 Deadwood Dick should have been the happiest of men. Few men can pass twilight years illumined by the glow of their past. Few men are privileged to read heroic lies about themselves which are founded on a modicum of truth. Achilles never read the "Aeneid." Satan never read Paradise Lost" unless he had pc. rused It since Milton's day by the f1tful flames of his plutonic abode. Sleg- fried never scanned the "Nibelung- lied" The greatest heroes of the greatest lies by the greatest liars have met their end believing they would be unhOnored and unsung by posterity.
 Not so with Deadwood Dick. His saga was at his elbow these several decades. All he had to do was to take down one of the volumes over which the boys of a generation or two ago bored to realize what a great man he had not been. And all the time he had the consciousness that he real ly had passed wonderful days on mountain and plain, hauling gold by stage through perils created by nature and by man-that there was enough of the heroic to justify the modern minstrel.-Cincinnati Times-Star.

PEAT ESTABLISHED AS FUEL
In Denmark It Is Employed to Furnish Power for Many Lines of
 Big Industries.

Tn 1919 peat established itself as a fuel more firmly than ever in Den mark. It is used now by nearly all the industries, by the private rail- roads and in the country districts, where 1t is practically the only fuel. Twelve million peat bricks were taken from the marshes in the Odense dis trict in 1918, and while figures are not available for 1919, it is estimated that rne nul ger was cUnS derabiy larger. The electrical works of the town of Svendberg have successfully used peat gas instead of petroleum. As locomotive fuel 1t proved to have some disadvantages, requiring a larger boil CT and giving off many sparks.
 Peat producers have complained that the governments maximum price on this article has made its manufac- ture difficult There have been num- Der of failures. However, the quality of peat has been greatly improved during the last five years, and more has been learned of its possibilities. It will therefore undoubtedly figure much more than previously as an economic factor in Denmark.-New York Sun.

Physique of Country and City Boys.

Under the selective draft law, regis trants were given two physical exami- nations, one by the local draft boards and another by the army surgeons af- ter the men who passed the local board examination reached camp. Analysis of these records of physi- cal examinations shows that the coun- try boys made better records than those from the cities ;Athe white regis trants better than the cOlored, and the native born better records than those of alien birth. These differ ences are so considerable that 100000 country boys would furnish for the military service 4,79O more soldiers than would an equal number of city boys. Similarly, 100000 whites would furnish 1,240 more soldiers than would an equal number of eolOred. Finally, 100000 native born would yield $500 more soldiers than would a like num- Der of foreign. The importance of these figures may be appreciated by noting that $500 men Is equivalent to an infantry regiment at full war strength.

Endurance Test.

The setting for the tale is La Jolla, a small town near San Diego. It Is a place that boasts of great swimming and many other attractions, besides a museum. A little maiden, whom we will call Nellie, was passing the mu- scum with her mother. Both were newcomers in the town and were talk ing their first sightseeing tour. Nellie glanced up at the sign in front of the "Man-eating shark. Fifteen cents admission" So the two passed on. Two or three hours later, mother and daughter came back by the same route, and again passed the museum The sign, of course, was still there. Nellie could not be silenced. "Is that man still eating the shark?" she asked "I should think he would get tired."- Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

selfishness Gain. Nothinu.

Men should see life as more than . means of personal advancement. Self lshness may achieve, but its ingloriOus name will soon be forgotten in the round of yesterdays. It's life that lives for the common good that lays tribute on humanity and caFves an in- delible name in the very foundations of history. Call it Utopian If you will. Facts show that men must die to real ly live. And men who give themselves to human betterment live as they raise others from unreasonable drudgery to honorable toll and common comforts

But One Way to Acquire Wealth

Wealth is not acquired, as many per- sons suppose, by fortunate specula- tions and splendid enterprises, but by the daily practice of industry, frugal ity and economy. He who relies upon these means will rarely be found des- titute, and he who relies upon any other will generally become bankrupt. Francis Wayland.

Standard weiohts and Measures.

The idea of adopting scientific meas urements as q basis of a system of weights and measures, was suggested as early as the seventeenth century, particularly by the French astrono- mer, Jean Picard, who lived from 1920 to 1882. The system was worked out and taken up by the national assembly of France in 1760. It was adopted and its use made compulsory in 1901.

Make Them Work

Over in Ohio a movement is on foot to util-
ize the ancient lettering law against loafers. The
police are investigating the status of men who
turn down offers of good jobs. In city a
police judge sent IL to the workhouse in
one day because they refused to go to work at
60 cents an hour.
The point to the agitation against loafing in
Ohio is that industrious men are tired of having
drones and parasites live on the work of others.
Most of the men of this class are habitualy lazy
and obsessed,of the notion that 'the world owes
them living
This philosophy appeals to every lazy man.
1t shifts the responsibility of maintaining his
independence on nature, the government, society,
or any other agency he may designate an an
swerable for his food, clothing and lodging.
Force is the only method to make such man
work. Organized society must compel him to
enough for his sustenance. If he won't do
it on his own votion, cracking stones in work
house is the next best remedy.
