"As I neared the delta at New Or- | leans, where the southern bayous | pour their muddy waters into the main stream, I was troubled not a little by alligators which insisted on crawling into bed with me, but I rig- ged up some sides of chickén wire and overcame the difficulty. "Just after I had passed New Or- leans, which was really the end of my trip, I struck a submerged snag and the bed, 'being a folding one, suddenly shut on me. Fortunately, the steamer Robert E.

He mumbled to him- | self: Oh, who will be Robin Hood? And who will be Friar Tuck? It Jimmy Britton is Little John, I'm going to be out of luck! i i | { I don't want to be that monk, For he's far too fat for me, And my chances of leading are punk, Since I fell down off that tree. "Why, what's the matter, Don?" said Bill Davis, as he came quietly from behind a tree, "I was just go- ing to jump out and scare you, but you look so sick-faced, that I was afraid you would die of fright. I heard you talking to yourself, but Jimmy is going to be Friar Tuck, and I was thinking of being Robin Hood myself, because I am bigger than Wess, and if I become leader, I will make you Little John. Besides, I know where there is a Cherry bird's nest and that's more than the others know." So that is how it happened that Don and Bill came out of the woods together and joined the band in Johnson's yard, ready for a big day, but refusing to acknowledge Wess as the one and only Robin Hood, leader of the Merry Men of the Greenwood. | The other lads caught on in a min- | ute. "I'm Friar Tuck," said Jimmy { Britton, speaking to Bill Davis. "Who are you going to we?" Bill looked at Don, seeking support, and Don informed all present, that Bill had just appointed him to the dig- nity of Little John, which was at once taken by the other boys 'as a | signal of revolt and a contest be- | tween Bill and Wess, for the leader- | ship. 7 Wess was a bit taken back, but hid his feelings, saying, 'Nobody { can be leader until these onions are thinned out; after that, I don't care who is leader." So the boys attacked the onton bed, completing | that chore in quick order. Bill an- { nounced that he would lead the Merry Men to the home of a Cherry Bird, and to "Lots of other deep wood secrets." The promised tree, home of the Cedar Waxwings, was soon reached. It was a stout cedar and the birds had their nest on a low limb, so that the young could be seen. They were just about ready to leave the nest but Bill did not know that, and he started to climb. The young ones started to flutter, and in a mo- ment, all were out:on a limb. The other lads were annoyed, but willing to give Bill a fair chance to rrove his knowledge and ability, so, after some grumbling, they again gave him their attention. Bill made a great bird study les son out of it. He pointed out the sealing wax spots of red on the wings, the upstanding crest, the yel- low band at the tip of the tail, and the general well groomed and silky look of the feathers. In fact, Bill was making good, and rising rapidly in the estimation of the band, when Roy Preston, the quiet and deep thinker, took a notion to ask some questions. "Are the Cherry Birds valuable to Canada?' asked Roy. Now, Bill had not figured on ques- tions, but he was a good guesser, so he guessed "Yes." But moré ques- tions about what the waxwing eats, got Bill into deep water, for Wess had to tell the crowd that the Cherry bird really eats mostly wild cher. ries, and eats a lot of insects, thus helping the country. Roy then said, "Well, say, Bill, have you ever heard the song of the Cherry bird, as it sings in the "#arly morn?" "Sure," repeated Bill, "I have of- ten heard those birds; they sing in the evening, too, a very sweet and pretty song." There is where he put his foot in it, for the Waxwing has only a wheezy little 'Zeeeep," so high and fine that few folks ever hear it. Bill had gone tod far, but he did not know it. He thought he was doing just fine. "Can you imitate the song, Bill," asked Roy, with a grin. "Well, not exactly," replied Bill, "you see, it is a long, sweet song and impossible of human imita- tion." : This last bold bluff, which was all wrong, was far more than Wess could stand. ' He stepped up to Bill, touched him on the shoulder and sald, "That's all bunk, and you may be bigger than I am but you never heard a waxwing sing, because ft can't, and all it can do is make a LETTERS To The Editor P.O.; vila Kingston, July 24.--(To. the Editor): The Kingston Indusirial Exhibition is now organized for the season of/ 1925, and preparations for the com- ing fair are being made. The officers are intensely interested in its suc- cess, and are determined that al- though former fairs have been praiseworthy, the one for this year, if their attention, labor and efforts Bath Road, will accomplish fit, shall be pre- eminently a record-breaking event. Contrary to the custom of wait- ing until the summer months are | over before beginning the work of! acquainting the people of this and | nearby counties with our ambitious | plans for this year, we are commenc- | ing now to show them that we have | neither forgotten our friends nor are | we unappreciative of the support they have given wus in the past. Hence this letter. The people 'of this community have always worked in conjunction with the fair "directors, and to them much praise is due for our past suc- cesses. The same co-operating efforts will this year give up a fair unsur- passed among the fairs of the prov- ince of Ontario. Reports from all parts of this and nearby counties show the great- est interest in the fair, and it is ex- pected that this season's exhibits will fill all departments to overflowing. Rain insurance sufficient to protect all exhibitors who draw premiums will be carried. The entertainment committee an- nounces that many new special at- tractions will be secured to delight the crowds, and that on the wholé, there will be ample amusement, edu- cation and relaxation to characterize this as being without a rival in its class, and make an event long to be remembered by every observer.. We cordially solicit your assist- ance and advice in the preparation for and conduct of this great exhibi- tion. We want you to me both an exhibitor and an attendant of the fair, and trust that your relations to the work and your visits to the exhi- bition will be both profitable and en- joyable. » --ROBERT J. BUSHELL. Sec'y.-Treas. and Manager. -- KINGSTON HUMANE SOCIETY. Investigated a Case of Cruelty and as a Result a Constable Was Fined. Investigation by the Kingston Humane Society was followed by the conviction this week of the con- stable at Newhoro for cruelty to a bull-dog which he had instructions to shoot. The dog in question, though he carried a license tag, had been de- clared vicious, and Constable B. G. Hull, received instructions to shoot him if found without a muzzle. The shooting took ,place on one of the main street offthe village. Accord- ing to evidengh in possession of the Human iety, the dog was in- jured in the shoulder but not killed. The constable, however, allowed him to go and sat down on a door-step and talked with friends. This was about 2.30 p.m. The dog went home on three legs and did not die till about six o'clock. After eight o'- clock that night Mr. Hull visited the owner of the dog to claim the body. The dog had been buried but it was dug up and he took it away. Other residents of the village claim that the dog was not vicious. On the constable's behalf it may be 1.00 heels. -- $1.00 -- Ladies' White Can- vas Shoes, trimmed Straps.

JAMES REID 'Phone 147 for Service, that he pleaded guilty to the charge brought against him by the Society. The fine was five dollars. The laws of Newboro against dogs are very stringent. According fo clauge two of by-law No. 242 passed May 6th last, "any dog habitually howling or barking .at night to the extent of being a nuisance and dis- turbing people's rest at night, shall, said that he was acting under 1-4 structions to destroy the dog and on complaint being laid before the police magistrate of the village of -- Newboro, be forthwith ordered de- stroyed by sald Police Magistrate." The same ruling applies to a dog known to be vicious and found rum- ning at large or upon the owner's premises and not confined, the po- lice magistrate to instruct the vile lage constable to destroy the dog or dogs, and the said constable shall re- ceive a fee of $2 from the village council for the destruction and ' ial of the same. ; f at the World Is .@s Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazing' Stencil Guide for Neck Shave Saves Using Mirror Ti] I i 7 I i 5 ly ji li i vi g gs ¥ ! i i il i £ i is I it ly £ f i i i £ { A 8 I | i g Ul y A useful radio test be made fom oe a of 1 arsed ot ob 0d ouble-
