MIR. COON AND HIS MoUsTAcHE

Fatty Coon's father was very proud of his moustache. Nobody else. how ever, seemed to think it was thing of beauty. It was just a straggly white affair, but Mir. Coon liked it He was always stroking and tuggne at it. He thought it made him look dignified.
 Now. there was no doubt that Fat ty Coon was going to be the image of his father. Young as Fatty was he had already the beginning of q white moustache. Of course it was smaller, and even more straggly, thar MT Coon's.
 Mr, Coon had never paid any atten- ton to his sons moustache until he met with an acident one day. Yes, MT Coon had a narrow escape from a forest fire. It did him no harm except to singe off his moustache. But Mir. Coon thought that was an awful loss.
 What terrible luck I do have." he mplained to his wife. Here I've beer waiting to get some hair on my head, so l could show myself to my friends without having them laugh at me, And now I'll have to stay in hiding until my moustache grows out
