MAJOR is SORRY FOR SILKY,
THE MONKEY.
By arlyAe n. holcomb -

Tinker Bob had always been careful
not to surprise Major Pole Cat be-
cause it was Majors custom to accept
no surprises without meeting. them
with asdose of poison acid. Major
wouldn't do that for the world to the
Kng>of the Forest, but how could he
know whether the King would be the
next one to surprise him or not. There
were so many CT eatures Of the forest
who loved to surprise everyone that he
could never tell when theaKing would
{ be next. ~, II
He didn't need to worry about ii
however for the King was careful not
to startlc him at IN time. Major was
I not easily frightened, He never ran
away Homsan enemy in the world.
Tinker Bob ~hadNbeen the King OF the
Forest for a&long, long time and had
Yet. to see Major run away from the
largest or the smallest forest dweller.
He always minded his own business,
loved to have his family about him,
took walks up the mountain side and
into the forest with his little chill
dren and Mrs. Pole Cat, but never
molcsted anyone. That's the reason
he never allowed anyone to moles,
him.
Tinker Bob knew all about his
habits and would never surprise him
When Bob White came telling to the
King, Tinker went away in a hurry
to see II by some chance or other he
had fallen into trouble. 1t could be
possible that n Of his children had
been hurt for they were too young tt
have the protection of poison acid
and they were venturesome little fel:
lows too. It would he very sad K
think of anything happening to these
innocent forest children and that wa!
one reason why the King wanted t.
get to the place where Major was Sc
quickly.
Bob White tried to follow the KIM
but he was not fast enough. 'Whel

safest Of 81 cities for which figures
were tabulated was Rochester. N. E..

Local Woman Leads Trap Champions Who
 Shot at 25O Targets
BY PETER r. CARNEY (EditOr National Sports Syndicate.) )

Once upon al time (this isn't fairy tale even if it does begin like one), there were only a few women trap shooters in the United States and in our sister country to the north. And this time is within our memory. Annie Oakley demonstrated that woman could shoot and still remain a lady. Mrs. Topperwein has followed where Miss Oakley left off and this pair has proven that women giving the same time and attention to firearms as q man, can shoot as good as any mem Der of the male sex.
 Women have taken to the sport more and more each year and in 1920 there were championship events for women in 20 of the state tournaments. The time will come, and it is not far distant, when there will be a woman's championship in every state tourna- ment, when there will be special events for women at all club tourna- . ments and when enough women are interested to warrant it maybe there will be blue ribbon classic like the grand American for the ladies.

hadn't knocked out Dempsey in the early round of that fight, he would have rolled up So many points that it would have been impossible for Demp- lsey to overcome the lead. And, there's fore, Dempsey would have lost the de- cision if he hadn't been able to Lut Carpentier away.

 But in fighting Carpenter the mighty American faces different
 rival than he has ever fought before. He is going sto find phantom ins+ sa d Of a human punching bag standing there waiting to be hit. Dempsey will
 have to punch that night with the speed of a flash, if he expects to win with a knockout. If he grows tired or makes one false move, there may be a new champion Carpentier is the pugilistic man of destiny
