THOSE COON FOLKS

scTSUT-CUT-CA-DAH-CUT." Mr.. Fox
had thought it was dream, for
he had seen in his sleep fat hen,
which he wanted for his breakfast,
but when he heard the sound again
Mr.. Fox jumped out of bed and pulled
off his nightcap.
Hurriedly pulling on his clothes he
ran out Of the house and down the
Path and listened. "Cut-cut-ca-dah-
cut" he heard.
1T comes from the bushes over
there" said Mr.. Fox looking toward
the opposite side Of the path. Il do
believe some inquisitive hen has wan
dered away from the barnyard."
Mr.. Fox tiptoeds carefully along the
path and then dropped on the ground
that he might be better able to spring
upon the unsuspecting hen, but there
was nothing in sight.
"Cut-cut-c came family
down the path Mr.. Fox Jumped up
and ran lightly over the ground, get
ting farther and farther away from
his home all the time, which was just
what the little Coon brothers wanted.
1t wasn't a hen at all that Mr.. Fox

s-ley mad seen him run along earlier,
chasing Mr.. Rabbit and they knew he
would come back that way about the
time they planned to get Mr.. Fox out
there.
Mr.. Dog was feeling rather down
cast because Mr.. Rabbit had escaped
him, and when he caught sight of Mr..
Fox he bounded toward him with
every intention of catching him if pos
sible to make up fors losing Mr.. Rab-
bit.
Mr.. Fox saw him in time to leap
over a stone wall and away they went
over the fields while the little Coon
brothers jumped up laughing from be-
hind big rock and ran toward Mr..
Fox's home.
Now why do you suppose those mis-
chieyous little fellows had played this
trick upon poor Mr.. Fox? / will tell
you. The Raccoon is a fisherman, and
sometimes he will lie in wait at the
edge of pond or stream and with
his paw cleverly hook out a fish.
1t happened that the Coon brothers
were doing this very thin one day
when along came Mr.. Fox but at that
minute instead of catching fish one
little Coon brother had himself been
caught, for on the end of one paw
when he took it out of the water was
a crab clfnging in no gentle manner.
Little Coon Brother wriggled and
shook his paw, but the crab clung
harder than ever, and the other little
brother ran off as fast as he could.
Mr.. Fox saw all Of this and he
aughed-laughed loudly and long.
Little Coon Brother managed to get
rid of it by banging it against a tree,
but he did not forgive Mr.. Fox for
laughing and that is the reason the
Coon brothers fooled Mr.. Fox into
running out one morning after a hen
that wasn't there at all and being
chased by Mr.. Dog.
1t. was quite late in the day when
Mr.. Fox, hungry and tired out, came
slowly through the woods, but the
Coon brothers were waiting in a tree
nearby, and as he passed under it they

wedding present, though, if he is not
well able to do so, he should not make
it matter of very great cost.
Although ushers are chosen by the
bridegroom, they take all instructions
from the bride or her mother, and they
should bear in mind that they are the
guests of the brides family and in no
way of the bridegroom during the we'd
ding.
Sometimes ushers offer their arms
to women guests whom they are to
seat, but this is not always done 1t
is necessary, therefore, for the usher
to learn from the brides mother or the
bride what is her wish in this matter,
and then to carry it out. Thetushers
should make a formal call upon the
brides mother following the wedding.
The usher should also learn the time
of the return of the Eride and groom
after their wedding trip, and should
make it his duty to call upon them
also.

AS TO USHERS

WHEN man asks friend to be
Wv an usher at his wedding 1t is
an indication of feeling Of warm per-
sonA4 attachment and esteem, and the
request should be taken as such. How
ever, if, for any reason when you re-
ceive such a request, you find that you
cannot conveniently comply, you
should not hesitate to decline, stating,
of course, your reason for so doing, IT
the bridegroom-to-be is a person whose
acquaintance you value highly. Some
times young persons with more wealth
than social position and more mere ac-
quaintanceS than real friends, will ask
a young man whom they know but
slightly, but who would be social as
set, to act in this capacity. In this case
the one requested would far better de-
cline than to perform the duties of
usher while in his heart he is annoyed
at the request.
Whatever he decides to do, he should
decide within three or four days of the
request. In formal society, shortly
after this the chosen usher makes a
more or less formal call upon the
bride-to-be and her mother, or, if he
has not met them, he asks the BRIDE
groom to take him to call. After tits
his role is to await further instruc-
lions from the bride and her mother,
or from the bridegroom. Matters of
dress are settled by the bridegroom
and discussed among the other ush-
ers. From the brides family he re-
ceives instructions as to the exact
time for his arrival at the church or
the house the day of the ceremony, and
plans for rehearsal. Nothing ex-
cuses the usher from sending the bride

THE PESSIAIIST

IF ONE must be a pessimist, let him
keep his pessimism to himself.
1t is sufficient to make ones self
unhappy without loading gloom on the
others in the world. There always are
more reasons for gladness than for sor-
row, and if one cannot find happiness
for himself he's an ungrateful and I'M
kind individual If he tries to take the
gladness away from his fellow men.
In a big city rooming house, a life
weary man, previous TO trying suicide,
penned a note in which he said:
"The world has grown corrupt. It
is no decent place to live in. One has
to be tLief, a whisky runner or in
ebriate else he is no good any more"
A poor excuse to remove himself
from this life Of sunshine and gladness
But he had even less excuse for un-
loading his pessimism to disturb the
lives of thousands who are finding this
pretty good old world in which to
carry on
The man didn't succeed in removing
himself from this life, and when he re-
covers it is quite probable that he'll
prize his breath and the privilege of
living more than he ever did before.
But he'll only do so when he engages
some of his time and attention in the
task which belongs to everyone-that
of making the world better, more beau
tiful and its inhabitants more happy
and thankful to their God.
No one can answer the question
without a lengthy thesis as to how fast
the world is growing better. But no
one can delve into history even little
without admitting that most people alb
hor sin and are more ashamed Of sin
ming than people were not very long
ago.

A novel London-to-Brighton (51

shed as many tears as drops of rain
fall, and so on. There are many fair
days in October. October is all right
and June is good, but the 'fates order
the bride to shun May. The early
English and even the Romans objected
to May and some of the couples de-
clare: "The girls are all stark naught
that wed in May" and "From the mar
riage in May all the BARNS die and
decay" and "Who marries between

BRIDGET

THE quaint name of Bridget. so

with domestics, is in reality Ole of the
most poetic Of feminine names, emerg-
Ing from a Economically and religiously
splendid epic 1t Is said to come from
Brigh, meaning strength, and had it's
origin with Brighid, the daughter of
the fire god and the Erse goddess of
Wisdom, song and poetry.
Brighid has been favorite in Ire
land since early times, and was one of
the first few Kettle names to find POI
ularity in Europe. Her vogue there l.
explained through the story of the
maiden, who was brought up by bard
and afterward became pupil of St.
Patrick and, from solitary recluse at
Kildare, became head Of 500 nuns and
was consulted by synod of bishops.

Mr.. Fox looked up and saw who it
was, but he did not reply. He was
too tired to do anything but crawl into
bed and go to sleep, but as he settled
into his feather bed he said to him
