YoWler's Cousin, Who Is Call
ed YoWIer. Too.
lmpatienc many lives has cost,
AND prizes without number lost.
old Mother Nature

Who could that terrible fellow be
who had climbed the tree after
Whitenose the Fox Squirrel? Danny
meadow Mouse wanted to know. He
felt that he ought to know. Who
ever would try to catch Whitenose
would surely try to catch Nanny and
himself, IL there was a chance. So 1t
was something more than idle curios-
ity that urged Danny to watch from
that little doorway to his home.
For a while he saw and heard
nothing. But he was sure that the
stranger was still in the tree up
,r Whlch he had chased Whitenose.
1he branches of that tree were COW
cred with long masses of soft, gray
moss. such as is found only in the
Sunny South Because of that moss
Danny couldn't see into that tree,
.housh he looked and looked and
looked.
But Danny could afford to be pa
tient In fact, he couldn't afford not
to be. He had to know who this
probable enemy was and how he look
ed. so Danny sat in his doorway and
continued to wait At last he saw
the long. hanging moss in that tree
move ever 30 little. Some one was
coming down that tree. From the
lowest branch dark form bounded
lightly to the ground only few feet
from where Danny was sitting. There
IL stood for a moment, giving Danny
a splendid chance to see just what it
looked like.
Instantly Danny knew that he was
looking at a cousin of Black Pussy
the Cat. There was no doubt that
this was a member of the Cat family.
His coat was mixed gray and reddish
brown, with faint blackish spots.
His chin and throat were white. He
was whitish underneath. and this was
marked with black spots His head
was round and savage looking and
there were a few long hairs on the
tips of his ears. He was much big
ger than Black Pussy, and had much
longer legs and much bigger feet
But 1t was the tail on which Danny
fixed his eyes. 1t was a stub of a
tail, and as he stood there he kept
that stub of a tail twitching.
He stood there only for a moment
or two, then bounded away lightly
Danny drew a long breath. He never
had seen Yowler. the Bob Cat, up
home in the North. but his cousin,
Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, had told

The neighborhood tea party was in
full swing and the mothers were
chatting about the pleasure Of the
children in using their various Christ
mas gifts. Skates and coasters shared
the honors with cameras and radio,
for all the gifts had been selected
with great care and with the thought
of the particular hobby of each child.
Mother Slimkins listened, and then
said, somewhat timidly: 'Of course,

the cork sticking fast This can be
prevented by covering the sides and
the bottom of the cork with vaseline

Whftenose when we see him again"
Late that afternoon Whitenose the
Fox Squirrel returned and the first
thing Danny asked him was who il
was who had chased him up the tree
that morning.
''Yowler the Bob Cat, sometimes
called Wild Cat, and VINO, / have
been told, is properly called the BAY
Lynx" replied Whitenose promptly.

give it "most favorable consideration, :"
councilmen said today at a special

dent. Something definite should be

The council will meet again Feb

Sol Schloss. president of the city board
of health. who are working on a plan
whereby a temporary ward can be
provided at the city hospital, have
something definite to propose.
THE main reason for our lack OF

COUNTY COUNCIL
PAYS 1928 BILLS
UNDER MANDATE
Second Session to Appropri-
ate Additional Funds
Set for Feb. %.

The county council, in special ses-
sion today under mandate from Su-
perior Judge James NJ. Leathers, ap-
propriated funds to pay the following
1923 bills: RAIDER Coal Company, s4,-
265.27; F. D. Gardner & Co., e1.645.79,
and C. A. Hockensmith, $500.
The council agreed to meet again
Feb. 29 to appropriate approximately
$4,000 to meet similar unpaid bills
held against the county by 200 credit
ors. Appropriation has been refused
previously because of deficit in the
1923 appropriations for SUPPLIES.
There was enough money appro-
priated to meet these bills, but Audi
tor Leo K. Fesler used the money for
other county expenses explained the
present auditor, Harry Dunn.
Dunn told the council that, due to
cutting the tax rate to make a good
showing" the county will lack ap-
proximately $1S5,000 needed for actual
expenses for 1924.
The county sinking fund will show
a deficit of $7S6,134.65. If an old bonti
issue Of $850,000 is paid, Dunn said.
The auditor said, however, THAT he
probably will refund the bond issue.
as has been done with it before, there-
by leaving a surplus of approximately
$500. 900.
In addition, Dunn said. Fesler's
books show that bond issues totaling
1886. 1882 were carried as part of the
general fund, whereas they should
have been in separate funds.
When Fesler's term ended Dec. 81.
1928, he reported a largo balance in the
county general fund.
