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.

HE NEEDS PRODDING
I wish you have told me
* how your parents feel about
this lad's repeated postpone-
* meat of marriage. If they ap-
* prove of him as a husband,
* tell him this time that they
* are waiting to announce the
* engagement and the wedding
* date. If you have no parents,
* indicate to him that you want
* to set the day—or else,
* If you have not started, what
* we old-timers called a hope
* cheat, do it now, and have a
* little exhibit to show him, This
* will please him or shock him,
* and you had better find out
* which it is to be. Ordinarily I
* would not suggest this, but
* you have waited so patiently
* that you deserve to know
* where you stand. Many a
* young man is content with be-
* engaged, and does not realize
* what agonies a girl's pride and

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.

Assyria was the greatest em-'

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." Sennacherib's mes-
sage was, "Who was' there
