Badger was prevailed upon to break
his habit Of staying at home in the
daytime. and all of them followed
Reddy Fox down by the river ami
hid behind the bushes near by.
Mr.. Coon, Of course, knew they were
all there and he did not hurry a bit.
After he removed the cover he reached
the river for minute, and then when
he felt sure they were all stretching
their necks and watching. he suddenly
tipped the basket.
But instead Of the pieces Of meat
Reddy Fox had told them he had in
the basket, Mr.. Coon rolled into the
river rock that struck the bottom
with such force that the muddy water
splashed all around and covered the
watchers from head to toes.
Mr.. Coon looked very innOcent as he
picked up the cover and placed It on
the basket and then walked away. He
could hear the woods folks scrambling
about trying to rub the mud from
their coats, and he had hard work to
wait until he was out of sound and
sight to laugh.
But he did, and after rolling over
and over on the ground and laughing
as he thought how surprised the
watchers must have been, he suddenly
stopped and sat up, for he heard some
one coming through the woods.
Mr.. Coon jumped up and ran to Q
hiding place and pretty soon he saw
all the animals trudging along, drip
ping wet and scolding Mr.. Fox round
ly for the trick. they felt sure he had
played on them.
Mr.. Postum said his coat was
spoiled; 1t was now a grayish white
and 1t would not rub off; and Mr.. Bad
ger showed a soiled white front where
the water had splashed on him when
he stood on his hind legs to watch.

mud will not rub off and could never
let anyone see that the front Of my
coat is not Clean"
Mr.. Rabbit did not say anything, but
Mr.. Squirrel chartered angrily as he
ran off to tell everyone he knew about
the muddy trick Reddy Fox had
played upon his friends, and they all
forgot about the queer habit they were
told Mr.. Coon had of washing his food,
they were so busy being angry at
Reddy Fox.
AS he curled himself up for sleep
in high tree top, Mr.. Coon thought
that for one day he could 60 without
eating meat, for he had turned the
tables upon Reddy Fox and he had
been the one who laughed.

MIR. COON'S TRICK

W7HEN Mr.. Coon came to the
~ woods to live, none of the woods
jewellers had ever met any Of his fam.
lily. so, Of course. they knew nothing
about the curious. habit the Raccoon
has of washing all meat before eat
ing 1t.
One day as Reddy Fox was trotting
through the woods he spied Mr.. Coon
with a basket on his arm going toward
the river that runs through the woods.
He did not see Reddy, and as Reddy
dearly loves to watch when he Is not
seen, he quickly hid himself behind
some bushes to see what Mr.. Coon was
going to do, and, to his establishment,
he saw him take from the basket
some meat and, holding it in his fore
paws, souse 1t about in the water and
then eat 1t.
"That is the funniest thing I ever
saw" thought Reddy Fox. Il must
tell all the woods folk about this, and
we will all come down and watch
him."
Mr.. Coon has sharp eyes, and one
day while Reddy was watching he be-
came too curious and poked his head

COMETIMES the mount of the moon,

teal lines Of travel. If these hori-
zontal lines cross the face of the

When the horizontal lines enter the
line Of fate and travel upward with
it, they show voyages that will benefit

DATING at q clearinghouse table
- can be so gloomy and unpleasant
that it makes of eating three meals
day very irksome necessity. Or 1t
may be real pleasure SO that we look
forward to meal time with antlclpatory
pleasure. And the difference doesn't
entirely depend on the way the food
Is cooked in the kitchen or served in
the dining room. Something depends
on the manners Of those who assemble
in the same dining room, perhaps
around a single long table.
When you eat at clearinghouse
table the possession Of good table man.
ners becomes not something that you
acquire for your own satisfaction, but
almost a social necessity. If you dine
In q restaurant you can usually sit
alone and endure your bad table man.
ners alone, and at HONEYWELL, 1t Is
bad enough to inflict them on your
family. But when 1t comes to making
a whole tableful of other people wit
ness your lack Of good breeding, then
you ought truly to be banished from
the table.
But good table manners are the same
everywhere. There are some little
points Of etiquette that arise only at
the boarding house table. If you are
a stranger at the table it is usual for
some one to introduce you to the 9th
, ers at the table, but If there Is no one
to do this then you may and should
regard the fact that you are eating
with the others sufficient Introduction
at least for conversational purposes.
You need not, of course. indulge very
freely in conversation with strangers
at table, but you can at least say
enough to save the situation from be-
coming awkward. Women usually
have the privilege Of opening a con-
versation and older persons speak first
to younger persons. Thus If young
man and woman CHANGED to meet at
clearinghouse table and there was
no Introduction. 1t would be the priv.
lege Of the young woman to speak the
first words. although If her table asso-
ciate were an older woman she should
wait for her.

GERMANS BREAK SHIP RECORD
General Depression Apparently Has
Not Affected the ShipbuIIdIng
Industry.

London.-Germany has beaten her
prewar shipbuilding record, according
to figures published here. Her output
in 1922 was 825,OO0 tons. as compared
with 100000 tons In 1921, 100000
tons in 1914 and 465,0O0 tons in 1913.
The German shipbuilding industry
does not seem to have suffered from
the general depression, and, owing to

Mt. Pleasant Youth Second to
Reach Center-Field Fence
at Union Park.
By r. d. THOMAS.

Phipps, Mt. Peasants third,
sacker and crack pitcher. drove q
home run to the center fell fence
in Union Park against Waverly,
equalling the feat of Matt Noone,
the sandlot slugger. Only these
two have hit a ball thar far in
the new park.
Phipps' homer was included in a
cluster of four Mt. Pleasant runs,
augmented by two more bit
later. Waverly apparently was
beaten then and there, for young
Berens was pitching fine ball for
Mt. Pleasant.
But with a display Of gameness
Waverly worked determinedly on
Berens in the seventh and the
slender youth weakened. Waverly
scored three runs ana tied the
score, and in the following inning
clinched victory, 8 to 6.
Working without apparent eff
fort, despite his rather frail frame,
Berens held Waverly hitless. until
the fourth. Neither team had
scored for three innings.
