The district game warden was having trouble with the resi- dents of , a certain mountain community. He had information which led him to believe a 'coon had been taken illegally by a persistent lawbreaker. The, war- den .searched the mountaineer's home thoroughly; He was about to give up when an idea, struck him. He turned the dining room table upside down. There, fast- ened to the underside of the top, was the hide. Over it a card- board had been tacked! Arrest- ed, the mountaineer entered a plea of guilty and paid a fine of $40 plus $9 cost.

IGNORANT YOUTH "Dear Anne Hirst: I had the bad luck to fall in love some months ago with a boy I thought was really nice. He is disap- pointing. He never takes me out, though he has bought a single ticket occasionally for a movie I heard about; he has never gone with me. If I date anyone else, he throws a scene--yet 1 know he dates other girls. "Three times I broke with him,' but I do love him, so I al- ways welcome him back. What is your opinion of all this? UNHAPPY" * What are you getting out of * this friendship except the * pleasure of being with the * boy when. he chooses to see * you? Aren't you being fool- * hardy? No girl will content him for long, for he is self-centered and has no conception of cour- tesy nor the social rules most of us live by. If you keep on seeing him you will find your- S self apologizing for his crude manners to everyone who sees you together. Stop dating him. and You don't have to give a reason, Just say you'll be. too busy from now on to see him at all. You must know plenty of other young men who know what is due a nice girl and who will be more generous and obliging. This one is not for you, and your dissatisfac- tion will only increase and keep you miserable. * When a young man keeps his fiancée dangling too long, it, is wise to act. Better to know the truth than to undergo emotional anxiety. In time of indecision, trust Anne Hirst for the best solution. Address her at Box 1, 123-18th St., New Toronto, Ont.

Psalm 124:8. • Assyria was the greatest em-' pine at this time. Israel, the nor- thern kingdom, had fallen un- der its program of expansion. Now, Sennacherib, the Assyrian king, advanced against Judah, the southern kingdom. As he came to Jerusalem Hezekiah "strengthened the defences. He built up the morale of the peo- ple with such words as, "Be strong, and couragous, be not afraid nor dismayed for x the king of. Assyria, nor, for 'all the multitude that is with him, for there be more with us than with him: with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles."
