MIR. Fox, who was hiding inside,
could hardly keep still, he was so
anxious to pounce upon them. His
eyes sparkled as Ikey and his family
came nearer, but, to his surprise, he
heard Ikey telling them, "YOu better
go home; old Mr.. Fox might be
around"
"He will get you, too, Ikey." said
one plump duck. "Why don't you
run?'
"I am not afraid of Mr.. Fox" pre-
tended Ikey, strutting toward the hut.
"but if you will all start for home
I'll come along soon. There, what did
l tell you?" he said, pointing to the
tip of Mr. Fox's nose sticking through
where the boards were broken.
OF course, Ikey Drake thought it
was Tobey Dogs nose, and he laughed
as his family turned to run; but he
soon changed it to loud "Quack y
and ran, for Mr.. Fox, thinking all the
plump ducks would get away, came
running out after them. But, luckily,
he got only few tail feathers and the
ducks swan safely home.
When Tobey Dog missed Mr.. Fox he
began to think Of poor Ikey, and
away he ran for the hut by the river,
to find only the tail feathers Of poor
Ikey strewn by the water side. Sad
ly he went back to the farm, and he
made up his mind on the way to watch
over keys family from now on, to
make up for leaving poor key to his
sad fate, for, Of course, he was sure
Mr.. Fox had caught him and carried
him off to his den. But the first ones
he saw when he reached the barn
yard were Ikey Drake and his fam
lily.
"Did you chase Mr.. Fox?" they all
asked, for Toby Dog looked very warm
from running.
HE won't bother you any more. v
said Tobey. But he never told Ikey
how Mr.. Fox had got him to go hunt
ing, and then had run back to catch
Ikey Drake. However, he kept his
word. for Mr.. Fox did not bother them
any more.
Toby Dog slept none that night
and when Mr.. Fox came skulking
around he was after him with bound
and by the way he acted Mr.. Fox
knew that IL he wanted to live he hac

Drake he forgot oil about Toby, only
that he was young dog and might be
fooled If necessary. He wanted 1key
very much for dinner some night, so
he set his wits at work to find way.
The next day Ikey went swimming
on the pond and Mr.. Fox, who was
watching in the woods, strolled along
to the hut and said:
"Ah, l see l have neighbOr. Mr..
Dogl 1 do not live far from here.
and you and ought to have some fun
hunting. Do you like chasing rab-
bits?"
"Rabbits9" repeated Toby. his ears
sticking straight up. Il love nothing
better. Show me one and see."
Mr.. Fox knew just where to take
Toby Dog, and it was not long before
he was running through the woods
after poor Mr.. Rabbit. and Mr.. Fox
knowing that Toby would be busy fol
some time, ran back to the hut to wait
for Ikey Drake.
Now 1t happened that Ikey had met
all his family on the pond. and be
cause they were afraid he would leave
them again followed him back to the
hut, in spite of all poor lkey could
do to get rid Of them.

yard they did not know that Mr. FOX

Ikey Drake said he was tired of hav-
ing all of his relatives quacking after
him every time he went anywhere, and
Mr. Dog said he was tired of sleeping
with both eyes open at night to watch
for the farmer, when In the daytime
he was always chained up. So one
might off they tramped and went TO
live In hut by the river, and all went
well until Mr.. Dog growled over hav-
ing so many worms for food instead
of "a nice ham bone or something.
Ikey Drake began to quack loudly
that bones were too hard to digest ana
that Mr.. Dog would find his health
much better IL he made a diet OF
things such as he ate.
1t was just then that Mr.. Fox, stroll
ing by in the woods, heard the noise
and came that way to see what was

HAVING FRIENDS

Be bright and jovial among your guests.
A T THIS season visiting around Is
"A q popular diversion. And it Is
well. Most of the pleasure in life
comes through associations Of one kind
or another. Without real friends to
greet or to welcome one, no person
could find much enjoyment in life.
But it Is essential that our guests be
the proper kind and that those whom
we visit welcome US because they
like us and not because an Interior
motive Is back Of the hand they proffer
US.
Unless those we would welcome to
our hospitality are those we can well
come to our respect and esteem, It
not our friendship. it is far better that
the latchstring be not left out for
them. We cannot be false in our
greeting without feeling a keen re-
sentiment against ourselves.
And the same rule applies when we

self-respect it is far better never to
visit with people at all than to realize
the welcome given US is hypocritical.
Someone has said: First day. a
guest; the second, burden; the third,
a pest" Do those you invite to enjoy
the hospitality Of your own roof come
under this category; or do you fit in
to it when you accept the invitation OF
so-called friends? 1t is well carefully
to consider this question before trying

of his father as the embodiment of all
that is thoroughly manly. In fact,
usually a father has better luck in in
stilling fondness for good manners
in a boy than does a mother.

important because it is so difficult for

PRESIDENTS WARNING
washington.

Washington, July LIN his
speech to operators and coal miners
today, President Harding spoke as
follows:
Gentlemen of the coal industry:
asked you to meet me here this morn
ing with the thought that in bringing
you together I might be serving both
the mine workers and the mine opera
tors of the United States md at the
same time serving the treat American
public, to which you and are 'bliged.
L hold no specific authority under
which to admonish you, but I do have
the right to invite your Immediate at
tention to a situation which deeply
which you collectively owe to the
American people.
You who are here today represent
a large sponsorship for Americas
you have an indissoluble relationship
to the commonwealth of America.
Coal is indispensable to our life as a
people, and since this country has af-
forded you the opportunity of de-
velopment on your part, both as
workers and operators. you have
created, in turn, an obligation to
serve Conflicting views as to your
policies and obligations to one another
in no wise modify your obligations to
that public which made possible your
Industrial existence.
Because of expiring agreements
relating to wage scales and working
conditions, a large percentage of the
mining activities of the country nave
been suspended three months to a
day. 1t is not for me to touch on the
merits of your opposing positions. I
have not called you as a partisan of
the mine worker or the employer. 1
do not mean even to discuss a single
phase of controverted questions. The
main point is to bring you together
and in that contact of men to men,
mi TrIF rv1 ~ An -
righteousness in any useful and abid-
ing relationship, TO have you frankly
and fairly consider your problems in
tEeir relation to the welfare of our
counfry.
at is pretty generally recognized
there are fundamental difficulties in
present day coal production, the solu-
ton of which is not to be found in
an hour or a day of most friendly
and earnest conference. The excess
development of producing capacity,
in both tonnage available and min
ers to work it, has presented one
situation demanding solution, or there
will be inevitable loss of property in
this and a train of Improbable en-
ployment.
There has been instability of pro-
duction, attended by a failure of de-
livery capacity, which had reflex in
speculative prices and paniclxy con-
ditIons, which encouraged profiteer-
ing, and menaced our industries and
h6mpered our varied public services.
You are admonished to arrive at
such understanding with measurable
promptness among yourselves the
president declared IF the adjust
ment cannot be reached, by you alone
government aid will be available at
your joint call. We wish Won who
best know the way to solution to
reach it among yourselves in a man
ner to command the, sanction of
American public opinion.
Failing in that, the servants of the
American: people will be called to the
task in the name of American-safety
and of the greatest good for all the
