Forest, to see what he could find there.
AS for Mr.. and Mrs. Quack, they slept
peacefully side by side among the
rushes of the Smiling Pool all the
night.
They were awake very early the
next morning, for Mr.. and Mrs.
Quack are very early risers. After
breakfast they began to talk over what
they should do. The Smiling Pool
was such an open place that the very
thought of staying there all day made
them very nervous. But Mr.. Quack

Smiling Pool. Mr.. and Mrs. Quack
had gone to bed for the night and
they were where Reddy could not get
them.
Reddy sighed. It was soft little
sigh of disappointment, so soft that no
one heard it. Then. as carefully as he
had crept to his hiding place. he stole
away. He didn't want any one to
know that he had been there. You
see, he meant to come again the next
night. He hadn't given up hope that
sooner or later he would dine on Mr..
or Mrs. Quack. But if they should sus-
pect that he had been there that night
they would always be watching for
him to come back. So he took just as
much care in leaving the Smiling
Pool as he had In coming to 1t. When

self and have nothing. There they
were just out of reach, and he knew
by the way they acted that they meant
to keep out of reach. They didn't
know he was there. OF this he was
sure. But presently he was equally
sure that they didn't intend to take
any risks.
Still he remained hidden, hoping
that for just little minute one OF
them might forget and be careless. At
last they finished their dinner. Then
they swan over among the broken
down bulrushes where the Black
Shadows lay deepest. He couldn't see
them, but he could hear them saying
goodnight to each other in low voices.
Then all was still, save for the Joyous
chorus Of the Hylas singing In the

in the wide world will think of looking
for you here. If you don't stay you

Just then Sammy Jay came flying
over to see how Mr.. and Mrs. Quack
were. He perched in the top OF the
Big Hickory tree, and when he found
out what they were talking about he
advised them just as Jerry Muskrat
had. Suddenly he stopped talking and
looked far across the Green Meadows.
II declare" said he, Il believe Farmer
Browns Boy is coming over here to
bring you some breakfast.
Instantly Mrs. Quack was IN ter
rible fright. There is nothing to be

But this didn't relieve Mrs. Quack
bit. She hurried Mr.. Quack up
into the Laughing Brook and saw him
safely hidden. Then she swan back
to the Smiling Pool and there rose
into the air on her stout wings and
headed toward the Big River. Farmer
Browns Boy saw her.

he to himself. Il thought perhaps

Now that the football season
has ended, fans will have as a
fitting desert, the New Year bowl
games. Ranking first in interest
is the Rose Bowl contest between
the University of Southern Cali
fornia and Duke.
With the Trojans victory over
Metre Dame, Americans No. l
team, on Saturday, interest in the
New Years battle increased. But
the odds still appear to be with
Duke because of her matchless
march to the tune of 104 to 0 to-
ward the national championship.
But neither teams deserves much
of an edge.
Down in the Orange Bowl, two
teams with unblemished records,
Tennessee and Oklahoma will
meet. Here the Vols are the
choice. Not that Oklahoma isn't
plenty good, but since they have
been rather slow to get started,
Tennessee eleven is apt to start
a march on them and of course
that march of highlands men al
ways moves across the goal line.
The undefeated Texas Christ
ians will meet Carnegie Tech, in
New Orleans, Jan. 2. This should
be a close game, but we will give
this Sugar Bowl victory to the
Texans!
- Going West
The Duke team and band will
not be the only North Carolinians
to venture to the West Coast on
New Years day. Hundreds of ra-
bid Duke fans plan to see the
team to the rosy end of the sea-
son which may not be as smooth
even in bed of flowers as it has
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1938-12-08

been so far. "
Some plan to make the trip by
air and others by bus and train.
If all we hear about the rates is
true, it will be a golden oppor-
tunity for some: who have already
seen Duke in action many times
to see the Golden Gate.
The trip will be nothing new
for Coach Wade and his assist
ants. All of them have had the
experience of playing in a Rose
Bowl game, and for Wade as a
coach it will be his fourth visit
in this capacity, three times from
Alabama, and now from Duke.
1t will probably be honey
moon trip for Fred York, star
guard of the Duke team who was
caught off guard last week when
he was quietly married to Miss
Mildred Welborn Griffith in Dan
vile, Va. The bride is sopho-
more at Duke while Yorke is a
senior. Both plan to leave the
alma mater at the end of the term
to set up housekeeping. There is
no rule against married men
playing football with the Blue
Devils. But this of course is not
meant to encourage sporting mar
ried men to forsake their home
duties to rush to Wade's line. He
evidently has some other qualifi-
cations for his players, from the
records they have made.
All-American
The mythical title has been Civ
en- blythe A. P. to the supposedly
best eleven of 1888. The only one
named in this envied group who
has played on North Carolina turf
this year is Pittsburgh's Marshall
Goldberg. Incidentally Goldberg
is Jock Southerland's choice of
the greatest single player of the
year.
Coach Switzerland tells this
story of him:
In the 1887 Rose Bowl game
with Pitt driving for a touch
! down, the Pitts dropped back for
huddle. Every player but
Marshall was excited, jittery. II
was Marshall who broke the ten
sion by asking quite mnocently
wonder what time it is now
back in Pittsburgh"
And away went Marshall anc
his backs to a smashing victory.

We have already stated our
choice teams for the bowl games,
so their is little left to be said
except what might have happen
ened. Last Saturday we were sur
prised when Notre Dame was
beaten, but even the luck of the
Irish can't last forever. The 9TH
er games went about as we pre-
dicted, thus giving us a batting
average of more than $50 for the
season which is better than that
of some teams and coaches! We
will be with you on the side lines

One day Mrs. Bond spent a day
motoring with friends throuh the
wower-laden drives Of Southern
C California, past UNCOVERED
banks, and through hedges of ex-
quisite Gold of Ophir roses. The
day was glorified with a dreamy
sort of happiness; and at eventide,
she stood ON the top of Mt Rubi-
doux and watched the sinking
sun splash the sky with all gor-
geous colors of a painting by the
immortal Turner.
Words and phrases began form
ing in her mind. A song of praise
and thanksgiving welled up in
her heart; and while the spell
was still hot upon her, she dashed
off two stanzas of a poem. After
a while she found herself hum
ming a tune. So. -.....~.-. ,pvr.,.l.,.
The thing was done.
A musical miracle had been per-
formed. For, without effort, she
had created a song that was des-
tined to have a greater sale than
any other piece of music since
Gilbert and Sullivan had launched
"Pinafore."
When Theodore Roosevelt was
President, he invited Mrs. Bond
to come to the White House and
sing her songs to him.

CARRIE JACOBS BOND
She Wrote The Most Popular
Song OF The goth Century.

Four thousand dollars in life
insurance, a load of debts, and a
little boy to support-such was
the legacy the good Doctor Frank
Bond bequeathed to his bewild-
cred widow, Carrie Jacobs Bond.
She had had no business ex-
perience whatever. She didn't
know how to do anything except
keep house; and she could hardly
do even that, for she had been
an invalid for years, her body
racked and tortured by the ter
rible pangs of infammatory rheu-
matism.
But she didn't want pity and
she didn't want charity. She was
too proud for that. So she cut
herself off from all her friends
and relatives and went down to
Chica to face the grim years
ahead.
What could she do? She tried
running a rooming house, but
she couldn't make expenses.
Then she tried selling hand
painted china that she had dec
Grated herself; but no one want
ed her sugar bowl and plates.
Next, she tried to write songs;
but publishers wouldn't buy
them.
Fifteen years later, Carrie JAG
obs Bond was to- write ''The End
of the Perfect Day." a song that
sold six million copies and netted
her a quarter of a million dollars
in cold cash.
But when she first started, she
couldn't sell her songs for even
five dollars apiece. Blighting
poverty was her lot. Unable tt
pay her rent, she often feared
that she would be put out on the
street.
Finally, she baceme so poor she
could eat only one meal a day
and secondhand dealers tool
away her furniture and silver
ware and gave her a little money
that kept her from starving.
But during all this awful pow
erty and heartache, Carry Bono
continued to write beautiful song
songs that would one day b.
sund around the world-song
like "Just A-Wearyin' For You
and 81 Love You Truly"
