sence the question arose as to his long
stay. It was Immediately decided that
there must be something wrong. One
of the old-timers, with Dick, tender
foot, started back along the trail in
search of Vent, and would you believe
it. they found him roaming around in
circle fashion only a short distance
from the house. He being a truthful
citizen, readily acknowledged that he
had been lost and could not find his
way. He made this humble admission
before the three returned TO the fire.
Soon after the gang were together
again the dogs began proving around
a certain little thicket that later
proved rendezvous for razorbacks.
Most people are under the impression
that razorbacks are harmless, and
maybe they have something substan-
tial on which to base this idea. but
not so with our friend Oswald. The
hogs began letting out a series of ter
rible sounding noises, crashing their
teeth, etc, and the dogs retreated in
every direction. The members of the
hunting party followed suit-seeking
shelter from the onslaught of the ami
mails.
After considerable time had elapsed
during which only sounds from the
razor backs could be heard, they fl
nally decided TO cease hostilities. The
party assembled again with the ex-
ception OF Oswald. but nowhere could
he be seen. a search for the missing
was begun.
Not far from the scene OF the COM
motion the searchers managed TO get
him TO answer a call. Where are you
Oswald, dear?' and from the upper
most limbs of a keen sapling came the
quivering reply, Here l am; if you
want me to come down. run those hor-
rible pigs away. The angry swine

lofty perch. When he placed his feet

encounter, for the excitement had its

coon hunt was thoroughly enjoyed

ventured to remark that he 'rawther

statement made in this mornings
Journal to the effect that public health

The Pensacola Chapter of the Amer

OF the Red Cross.
In 1920 the privilege of using the
Red Cross as its emblem was with
