MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin Cobb

GOOD many of the stories which pro-
fessional guides tell by the camp fire at
night are aimed at the green sportsmen
they have served.
New Brunswick guide who took me
moose hunting swore that the following
thing really happened He said an amateur
gunner strayed away from camp and was
lost for the better part Of two days. On the
second afternoon a search party found him.
After the rescued one had been fed and
comforted the chief guide said to him:
81 see you have compass. Dldnt you
know how to use it,"
''Certainly 1 knew how to use it, said
the novice, "but the blamed thing was no
good-it just kept pointing in one direction
all the time. If only it had pointed toward
camp once in while could nave 1ouAd my
way back easy enough
In New York state another guide told me
that two Swedes who worked in factory a
few miles away came to the town where he
lived and borrowed from him dozen wood
en- duck decoys, saying they meant to go
shooting on a nearby river where, IN season,
wild fowl were fairly abundant. They had
one gun between them, and from the way
it was handled and from other things, he
made up his mind that the pair had not had
a great deal of experience at hunting.
Late in the afternoon he decided TO see
how the greenhOrnS were tarlng. he SWOfe
to me that when he reached the river he
saw one of the Swedes standing bolt upright
in full view at the waters edge, holding his
gun ready and with Vigilant eye on the
fIocks 'of mallard that scurrled past at a
distance, while his companion, in hip boots,
was splashing up and down in the shadows
dragging behind him the decOys tied hOgeth-
er by strings about their necks.
But at least once in my sojourings in the
woods [ found a guide who was willing to
poke fun at his own profession, I've got
a friend over here on Long Lake who fol-
lowed guiding for going on twenty years, -
he said His name was Faukner-Gene
Faulkner But finally he got tired of the
game and he took and opened up a grocery
store in the village. He did pretty well, too,
until one night when he was coming home
late in a wagon and an automobile ran into
him and smashed him up. They picked him
up with his skull cracked wide open and
toted him off to the doctor's They all
thought he good as dead, but that
doctor was a mighty smart chap and he
saved Genes life. The only trouble was that
before he could get to work on Gene purity
near all of Genes brains had leaked out
through those cracks in his head. Yes sir, he
didn't have hardly brain left to his name.
"Well, after Gene came to, it was up to
the doctor to break the news to him.
Gene he says, you're going to live.
You had a close call but in a little while
you'll be as good as you ever was-that is,
| physically. But, Gene, it's my painful duty

where she was protected from the drizzle,
and he felt her eyes upon him. 1t gave him
a sense of Importance to have Allie watching
him at such a crisis; he wished his parents
were with her.
He eased the brake and the massive bailer
slid into the casing as heavy shell slips
into the breech of cannon. AS he further
released his pressure, the cable began to
pour serpentlike from the drum. Buddy
turned his wet. grimy face and flashed a
grin at Allie. She smiled back at him faint
ly. Some lightninglil1e change in her express
sion, or perhaps some occult sense of the
untoward warned him that all was not as
it should be, and he jerked his head back
to attention.
h During that moment of inattention the
baier had stuck. Perhaps five hundred feet
below, friction had checked its plunge, and
meanwhile the Yelvet-running drum, spinning
at it's maximum velocity by reason of the
whirIing bull wheel, was unreeling its cable
down upon the derrick platform. Down 1t
poured in giant loops and within these coils,
either unconscious of his danger or paralyzed
by its suddenness, stood Calvin Gray.

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY

@. Do wild animals live longer in their
wild state than in captivity? G. M.
A Some wild animals are SO tretful IN
captivity that their lives are shortened ma
terially. This Is true of foxes and monkeys
Elephants and snakes do not seem to suHer
much from captivity, but are strongly IN
clined to long lives in any environment. the
mortality among wild animals in geological
parks is very high.
O. In the oft quoted saying of Lincoln
'All am I owe to my mother" was Llnco1n
referring to his mother or to his step-moth-
err? C. r. A.
A. 1t is customary to interpret the IA
miIiar saying of Abraham Lincoln as apply
ing to his own mother rather than to his
step-mother The latter was, of course, an
unusual woman, to whom Lincoln owed a
great deal, but his own mother lived long
enough to leave the all-important impress
upon her son.
Q. Which prize fight had the largest at
tendance? G. S. T.
A. The heavyweight championship fight
which had the largest paid attendance was
the Dempsey-Firpo fight, which $4,000 at

known to attend a fight was at the Willard
Firpo fight in Jersey City, when 100000
people were present.

Our loyal friend, J. Y. Talbot, of Route
5, Elba, Ala, found a piece Of poetry in
the w. o. w. Sovereign Visitor" which
he liked and which he wants to share with
our readers. He incidentally says "The old
Tri-Weekly Journal gets better and BETTER"
Here is the poem that struck his fancy:
GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY?
She stood at the bar of justice,
A creature worn and mild,
In form, too small for a woman,
In feature, too old for a child.
For look so worn and pathetic
Was stamped on her pale young face,
1t seemed long years of suffering
Must have left that silent trace.
Your name?" said the Judge as he eyed her
With kindly look, yet keen.
''Is Mary Mcclure, if you please, sir
"And your age?" 81 am turned fifteen"
''Well, Mary" and then from a paper
He slowly and gravely read:
you are charged here-I'm sorry to say
With stealing three loaves of bread"
You look not like an offender,
And I hope that you can show
The charge to be false. Now, tell me,
Are you guilty of this or no?"
A passionate burst of weeping
Was at first her soft reply,
But she dried her eyes in a moment
And looked in the judges eye.
81 will tell you how it was, sir:
My father and mother are dead,
And my little brother and sister
Were hungry and asked me for bread.
At first L earned it for them
By working hard all day,
But somehow, times were bad, sir,
And the work all fell away.
L could get no more employment
The weather was bitter cold;
The young ones cried and shivered-
(Little Johnny's but four years old).
SO what was L to do, sir?
I am guilty, but do not condemn.
L took-oh, was it stealing?
The bread, to give to them"
Every man in the courtroom
Gray beard and thoughtless youth
knew, as he looked upon her,
That the prisoner spoke the truth.
Out from their pockets came handkerchiefs.
Out from their eyes sprung tears;
And out from their old faded wallets
Treasures boarded for years.
The Judges face was study
The strangest you ever saw,
AS he cleared his throat and murmured
Something about the law.
For one so learned in such matters,
So wise in dealing with men,
He seemed on a simple question,
Sorely puzzled just then.
But no one blamed him or wondered,
When at last these words he heard,
'The sentence of this young prisoner
Is, for the present, Deferred =
And no one blamed him or wondered,
When he went to her and smiled,
And tenderly led from the courtroom
Himself the guilty" child.

Just Among Ourselves

tn HOSE of you who are following the
trials and tribulations Of Althea Crosby
and DR.. Peter Graham in the splendid
serial, "Her Money" now being published
5 in The Tri-Wee1ly Journal, were especially
interested, we know, in the news article
in our last issue about Miss Floria Foy, of
Detroit, who was left fortune by her uncle
with strange provisions in the will.
Miss Foy inherits 100000 unconditional
". She will get another 100000 if she
marries before she is 25, and she will get
a final 100000 if she and her husband
are living together happily ten years after
their wedding.
This creates an even more remarkable and
complex situation than that imagined by
Miss Beecher as the basis of her story.
1t goes to show once again that fact is often
stranger than fiction.
BY the way if you haven't been reading
"Her Money" start it now. The synopsis
will make it possible for you to begin at
any time, and you will find the story we'll
worth following.
The news we print brings interesting COM
ment from readers. We always are glad to
get them.
J. H. Smith, of Route 8, Washington,
Ca, writes: Il have a violin that beats
Mrs S. c. Always in age by 65 years.
1t was made by Jacobus Steiner in 1865
It has his name and date on it and name
of place where made. 1t has the sweetest
and 1oudest tone I ever heard. My neigh
bors hear it near onto half mile away"
For the present we nominate Mr.. Smiths
as the champion old violin in Georgia.
T. w. Ethridge writes to tell us of a.
tremendous hawk his wife killed in the act
OF catching a chicken at his home at Union
town, Ala. The hawk was the biggest seen
in that section for twenty years and meas
ured SO inches from wing to wing Brother
Ethridge should have told us the details
of the killing-they would have been in
teresting, too.
For the present we nominate Mrs. Eth
ridge as the champion woman at hawk kill
ing.
J. A. Wall, of Route 2, statham, Ca,
writes: 'In reading over The Tri-Weekly
Journal saw where little girl has eleven
grandparents living. I can equal that
''W. E. Wall and wife had a son who

w. E.; Mr.. and Mrs. w. z. Jones, father

Jones and wife, father and mother of w.
q. Jones; w. j. Roberts and wife, father
and mother of Mrs. w. u. Jones' The boy
was J. w. WALL and his initials contained
one of each of his grandfathers.'
For the present we nominate J. W. Wall
IS the champion grandson in Georgia.
