q START HUNTING
KY. 'CATEYM0UNTS'

VANCEBURG, KY, Nov. 26.-CB
B. C. Douglas led a 25-man posse
up forbidding Martin Hollow to-
night in quest of the wildcat blam-
ed by farmer Joe Johnson for
keeping his children out of school.
Accompanied by a pack of bay
ing dogs, the party set out at dusk,
planning to stay afield until after
midnight.
Natives of the rugged district,
IL miles west of here, met with
stony silence, meanwhile, sug-
gestion that the wildcat scare was
originated by small boys using al
der wood wistles, and aided and
abetted by full-throated 'houn'
dog"
''Hit just hain't possible, they
indicated, that a veteran back
woodsman like Johnson couldn' t
distinguish between the piping of
an alder whistle and the woman
like scream OF 'cateymount.
Douglas, as Lewis county attend
ance officer, felt compelled by law
to organize the hunt, but he made
no pretense that he relished the
job.
He found himself charged by
statute to determine and eliminate
any cause for on-attendance-in
this case wildcats.
Many veteran Lewis county hunt
ers were in the posse, but there
were no experienced wildcat hunt
ers among them.
THE old timers used to hunt
them, and bring them in, too, -
said Douglas, ''but it's lost art. -

One or the first symptoms of

quirement by the victim OF
opinions on every subject that
happens TO come up. Prior to
his success and consequent con-
ceit he may have been a mousey

his trap in public discussion and
who, if he had opinions, was
smart enough TO keep them 10
himself. But as his noodle ex-
pands his voice gets louder and

YOU can bet that this Is

stage of talking over your
shoulder, if he does not think
you are of any consequence or
can be of any help TO him. The
main reason he talks over your
shoulder is in case someone of
local Importance looms up in
the background and he can dust
you off in a jiffy, but in general
he Just is not interested in you
any more, the swellheaded bum.

talking over your shoulder is
largely a geographical trait con-
