You know there isn't any way. ~=Bobby Coon, fn a tight place--such a tight place that there has seemed to be no hope at all, But Bobby long ago learn- ed that the most foolish thing that one can do Is to give up hope, Now, in one of the tightest places he had ever been in, he clung to hope. "They won't get me! won't get me!" he kept saying over end over to himself, trying to be- Heve it, Every time he sald it it seemed to give him new strength and put new speed into his legs. Even so, Bobby was in a bad way. A dog with a good nose, a very good nose was barking on his trail and, because Bobby was $0 fat and heavy, that dog was gaining on him, Bobby wouldn't have worried about this had it not been for the two hunters who were following the dog, He could es- cape the dog by climbing a tree, but he knew that this was just what the hunters wanted him to do. If he didn't do this the dog would catch him soon. This would not be so bad If the dog had been alone, for Bobby is a good fighter, but the hunters would be sure to catch up, and that would be the end of the fight and of Bobby. Bobby knew it As he ran he kept trying to think of some place where he would be safe from those hunters, as well as the dog, but the ledges deep in Green Forest were the on- ly places he could think of, and they were too far away, In the ledges were caves and winding passages where not even the dog could follow and where the hunt. ers could not possibly get him out, He must think of some nearer place of safety, 80, while Bobby was making the very best use of his legs, he was at the same time making use of his wits, He missed no opportunity to mix his trall, so as to bother and delay the dog, and all the time he kept going over in his mind all the hollow trees and hollow stumps and hollow logs and oth- or hiding places not too far away for him to reach, hoping that he might think of one that would promise at least some degree of safety, He was more and more in despair, but still he clung to hope. He would do that to the very last, All the time Bobby felt that something was wrong, terribly wrong. Where was Farmer Brown? Where was Farmer Brown's Boy? Why had they allowed these dread- ful hunters to hunt him? It wasn't fair, NO, sir, It wasn't fair. By keeping hunters away from that part of the Green Forest they had made It seem safe for those who lived there. This was why Bobby had not thought it necessary to he #0 watchful and careful and fear- ful as he would have been other- wise, He had not felt that he The LAMP Says. Welcome" that CN JE.

Now, with no warning at all, these hunters had heen allowed to en- ter the Green Forest to hunt him, It was hard to believe that Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown's Boy would do such a thing. But here were the hunters and here he was running for his lite in the very place where he had felt so safe. It wasn't fair, No, sir, it wasn't falr, What Bobby Coon didn't know was that Farmer Brown, Farmer Brown's Boy and Mother Brown had gone away to be gone all night. 'This was why Farmer Brown's Boy had not been on hand In the woodshed to watch Bobby eat his dinner and scratch him back of the ears. This Bobby didn't know, but the hunters did. Somehow they had learned of it and had been quick to take advan- tage of the opportunity to hunt Bobby Coon. That hunter who had seen Bobby Coon a few days before, had heen walting and watching for just such a chance. He meant to uve Bobby's heauti- ful coat to use in making a cont for himself, He knew how angry Farmer Brown would be if he knew what was going on, hut he didn't mean that Farmer Brown ever should know it, "What to do?

SINCE HOLY DAYS Church Observance Was First Idea But Sport | Took Hold London.-- Since holy days be-! came holidays the ways of spending festival leisure have multiplied ex- | ceedingly., The old holy days, as | their name implies, were days pet apart for church observance in the first instance, but the Englishman's | incorrigible spirit of sport, togeth- | dity not all due to Puritanism, soon turned. them into festivals of an other kind, | As the nation became prosperous | and laws were enforced hy the State Instead of personal to cultivate the holiday spirit which has since become such a vigorous growth, as witnessed in the present ; holiday season, Feasts of St. Lubbock Reference to the Puritan rally leads us to consider thelr at titude as "kill-joys." They would "blaspheme custard through the nose,"' figuratively denoting thelr tendency to a Sabbatical sournes ity with a strictness that rankled and festered during the "reign of the Saints,' and has taken a place in history. This indicates that be- BECAME HOLIDAYS er with a certain relaxation of rigi- | ment of wrongs, men had more time | of life, and they found opportunity ; to impose their will on the commun- | boat on each side of the target, with rescuers, Stow, four centuries later, de- scribes how In summer time con- testants in wherries rowed on the Thames "with staves in their hands, flat at the fore end, running one against another, and for the most part one or both were over- thrown and well ducked." But it wag at sShrovetide that high revel was kept, Fitz-Stephen tells us that the London schoolboys on that day brought each a fighting- cock to their master, and the fore- noon was devoted to cock-fighting in the schoolroom, and "after din- ner all the young men of the eity go out into the fields to play the well-known game of football," Not only the schoolboys, but the city tradesmen, according to their respective gullds, had each thelr football, and the players' fathers and wealthy citizens went on horse- back to witness the games. Lenten Sham Fights Such was the old English Carni- val as held in London. When the Lenten season had begun a more impressive sport in. the form of sham fights took place every Sun- day afternoon. A company of young men entered the fields, says Fitz-Stephens, mounted on warlike horses, The lay sons of the citizens rush out of the gates in crowds equipped with lances and shields, the young- er sort with pikes from which the fron head has been taken off, and there they get up sham fights and exercise themselves in military combat, ; Courtlers attended these meet- ings when the Court happened to be in the neighborhood, and the younger men of the King's follow- iifg used to try their skill. - In 1406 football and cock-fight- ing were prohibited in the streets of London in the following terms: No person shall levy money, or cause it to be levied, for the games called "foteball" and "cok-thresh- yng" because of marriages that have recently taken place in the sald city, or the suburbs thereof, on pain of imprisonment and of making fine at the discretion of the Mayor and Aldermen, A total of 18,029,973 telegrams was transmitted and received in Can- ada in 1929, an tnerease of 1,172,763 over 1929.
