business in Arkansas.
Judge Gordon has n summer

bought a bunch Of goats from a
farmer for the stipulated price Of
S45. Gordon gave his check for
the mount and when he went to
leave at the end of the season he
found the check given for the
goats had not been cashed so he
left that amount on deposit at his
Rogers bank to take care of the
check.
The check was given in August
and was traded around over BEN
ton county all summer and not
until October was II taken to the
bank for collector. Mr.. Gordon
received a letter from the holder OF
the check that the bank had re-
fused payment and that the check
a no good. As president of the
First National bank Of McAlester
Gordon thought his check ought

left an amount on deposit to cover

So he wrote the bank to remind
them that he had left the deposit
and now GordOn's check and his
reputation is still good around War
Eagle. But he has learned that

Now fish lay a great many more eggs
than birds would know what to do

so good when made up into balls, is
said to lay about ten million eggs.
Now that is probably more than all
the birds in a State lay in a year..
but the mother cod knows that thou

going to be eaten before they have a
chance to hatch, and that other thou
sands OF the young fish will be de-

comparatively few will live to be
grown, so she allows for all this when
h lays eggs by the million. Now the
motherly little stickleback doesn't Just

A Fish That Makes a Good Mother

~VERYBODY knows that birds
49, build wonderful nests for their
eggs and babies, but everybody
Sdoesn't know that there is a GER
tam little fish that does the very same
thing. They are little bits of fellows,
hardly ever more than W. or three
Inches long. They are called stickle-
backs. because they have a row of
stickers on their backs as sharp as
needles. and these are the weapons
they fight with; and a fish that has
felt them once, is going to be mighty
careful to keep out of their way the
second time.
AS little as sticklebacks are, they
are chuck full of fight, and are afraid
OF nothing that swims. No matter if
a fish is fifty or a hundred times as
big as they are. they don't hesitate to
sail in and drive 1t away. They dart
under a big fish. jab It with its needles
and are gone before the fish can turn
around.
So the big fish that would like the
best in the world to eat them for
breakfast. seldom try, as they have
learned from experience, that there
are some things it doesn't pay to eat,
and that a s~tickleback is one of them.

Alex was standing on the broad piazza
and saw them. Prince was already
saddled 30 up he swung and gave
J chase.
The strange horse maddened and
almost choking dashed on with Moses
doing his best to keep up. while in the
rear tagged Alex on Prince. And it
was in this fashion they came into

Mr.. Jenkins, and the keeper of the
tavern, Mr.. Knight.

He spoke of a reward but Peter re-

remarks the three HAIRLESS turned

quiet the whole time and now as they
logged along the road he drew up
close to his brother and sister and
said in a rather shame-faced way:

@THEL always declared it vas the
winds fault, but Mother said
there was no one to blame but
herself. However, I will leave
you to decide for yourselves, and go
ahead with my tale.
Ethel was certainly very proud OF
her new hat. with its long streamers
of blue ribbon, and thought it very
hard when Mother said she must not
wear it to school. Now what in the
world was the use of having a brand
new hat. unless one could wear 1t and
ularly that horrid stuck-up Julia
Green. But Mother had forbidden it.
especially she said as she had not yet
had time to sew IN a bit of elastic. so
there it was hidden away in it's box.
But this morning Julia had ap-
peared at school in a new white shady
hat, a pretty white daisy wreath
around it, with her head higher than
ever. This was too much for Ethel
and in spite Of the fact that Mother
was not at home to be coaxed into
consent. she decided to take matters
in her own hands and wear the new
hat hat afternoon to school.
So taking 1t from the box she put
1t on, and stood in front of the mirror
admiring it. She felt a sudden tweak
at the ribbons, and saw reflected in
the mirror the hooking face of her
young brother Jack. How grand W.
are" he said. But you had better not
waste n more time looking in the
looking glass, or you'll be fine and
late for school. Ta-ta, I'm Off"
She was not long In following him,
but he was quite out of sight. as she
ran along the road to the hill, on the
