The Hoot -Owl Pool
Webb found the old attorney at
one of the saloons. He was stand-
ing at the bar, quite drunk. When
Webb tried to thank hint, he shook.
his head.
"One good turn deserves another,
Webb. You've forgotten what yon -
did for me one night in this saloon,
The night you knocked a man down

joke on me when f was a bit deep

The saloon was filling. Toe Blake
came in and shook hands with
\Vebb. Tex and two strangers
came in and Tex insisted on buying
old Judge Anders a case of the hest
whisky in the place. Ile introduced
the two cowboys with him.

"Webb. tneet the two Jones

Webb shook hands with the two
cold -eyed sten. Tex grinned faintly.
''There's quite a tribe o' the
Jones boys. You'll find 'em scat-
tered front the Peace River country
in Canada plumb down to the Mex-
ican line. Them Josses is quite a
tribe."
Web!, had seen the two cowboys
in the courtrom. He had wondered
who they were. Now !le knew
them. They belonged to that name-
less brotherhood that rides the out-
law trail. Now he looked squarely
into the eyes of the lanky Texan.
"If the jury had found me guilty.
Tex?"
Tex chuckled softly, then lifted
his glass. "Here's to Judge Anders.
Drink hearty. boys."
Ab Abbott and a bunch of Tri-
angle men carte in, spurs dragging.
They pushed their way to the bar.
Abbott lined up alongside Webb.

second blow dropped the paunchy
Triangle owner to the floor.
"That second punch was for my
friend, Judge .Anders. Get up and
take some more, you yellow -bellied
Coyote."
Tex and his two cold -eyed com-
panions stood with their backs to
the bat, six-shooters in their hands.
"Tromp his guts out, Webb,"
drawled Tex, "Us boys will take
care of them Triangle things."
"Stand up and fight, Abbot," grit-
ted Webb, "or I'll kick you out
of the place. Either fight or start
crawlin' for the door,"
Blood spurted from Ab Abbot's
nose. He lay there in the soiled
sawust, breathing thickly, pig eyes
slitted. Webb picked up the six-
shooter he had knocked out of the
big cattleman's hand and tossed it
across the bar to the bartender.
"If Abbot needs another gun, he
can borrow one off somebody. That
smoke pole is mine from now on,
Just a souvenir. Now drag it,
Abbot, and take your coyote pack
with you." He planted a short, swift
lcvck in the cowman's belly. Abbot
doubled up, gasping.
"Take him out," grinned Tex,
"and load him on his horse. He
thinks he's sick, but he'll be sicker

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. What is the proper way to
shake hands?
A. Make your hand grasp firm
and cordial, Avoid that limp clasp,
sometimes known as the "dead -fish"

ever it is not good taste to make
the other person wince with pain.
And avoid the pump -handle type of
handshake, too
Q. When is the proper time fur
a bridegroom to give his presents
to his best man and ushers?
"A. On the night of his bachelor
dinner, which is usually a day or
two before his wedding.
Q. le it good taste, what dining
in a restaurant, to wipe off the sil-
ver with a napkin?
A. No, this is exceedingly ill-
bred. If the 'silver is not clean
enough, call the waiter and have
him replace it.
Q. 1)ou't you think it is un -
the floor to eject from the mouth to
the floor little specks of tobacco

A. It most certainly is, Remove
these particles from the mouth with
the thumb and forefinger and place
them in an ashtray. It is best to
do as little of this as possible,
Q. When a girl has been shown

ligations that he cannot afford.
Q. Where should one place the
spoon when one has finished eating

Micah's Plea For Human Rights
Micah 1:1; 2:1-2; 3:5.1:;6:6-8
Golden Text -He hath shewed thee,
O man, what is good; and what
doth the Lord require of thee, but •
to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God?
Micah. 6:8.
Micah was another of the men
who endeavored to turn the king-
doms of Israel and Judah front
their wicked ways that they might
escape the judgments of God. He -
pronounced woe upon the greedy
landowners who by oppression
robbed their fellows of their heri-
tage. Covetousness is idolatry. (Col.
3:5). We may not worship images
of wood or stone but perhaps we
are worshipping lands and matey.
That is wicked,
Micah did not hesitate tc, point
out the sins of the people. He
spoke against the priests who taught
for hire and the prophets who di-
vined for stoney. Those supposed
spiritual leaders were also obsessed
with greed for money. They would
fight those who wouldn't pay. They
led the people to err, The love of
money loomed so high in their
heart's desire that they lost the
vision of God and consequently had
no message from Him. How many
ministers today pass over the
known sins of acme of their lead-
nuotht is, lest they offend and
then' bonuses cease? 11 every 11m1n-

spirits of the Lord declared unto
Jacob his transgressions and to
israel his sin, church would be-
come more interesting. Some mem-
bers would get mad, bait others
world repent and the glad. God
would be magnified.
Micah points out that giving,
rvet of one's own child, is not
sufficient. We must do justly, love
mercy, and walk humbly with God,
We can only do this as we tarn
front our sinful way, and by faith
in jests t loris!, 11e born into the

In answer to my appeal Bob was
busy at the chopping block one
evening when the lone Canada
goose which 1 have just mentioned
flew over his head, making such
a terrific noise that both dogs
started harking furiously. I won-
der how the poor thing happeued
to be alone --was it on a recon-
naissance flight or had it been left
1,ehind? Of course we shall never
know the answer, but one natur-
ally wonders.
And then Airs, Robin had nee
guessing too, About ten flays ago
she was very busy malting her
nest: then she sat omit off and au
fen about two clays. But after that
she apparently disappeared. The
nest was deserted, and, since it
teas by a Irindow overlooking our
front hall 1 thought probably our •
going back and forth had disturbed
her. Put theo_after four days. Mrs.
Icoblu came back; settled down on
her nest and has been there ever
since, her beady eyes watching 11S
with complete unconcern as we
pass through tate hall. Evidently we
clid 1101 frighten her aftcr all -
perhaps site had just been away for
the weekend visiting friends. Or
angle it is customary for birds to
build their nests and then leave
them u, settle.
Well, 1 have actually started
housecleaning -but. in a very half-
hearted sort of way. 1 managed to
go the ceiling and woodwork
washed in the dining -roots and
tl.en, almost as soon as I had done
it the kitchen lire started to smoke.

Scents to me 1 did tell you about
my rug -braiding activities, didn't
I?? Well, I finished a big rung a fete
clays ago and' had it down on the
floor. Bob looked at it very criti-
cally and presently remarked "f
can't see 1821511 to those things
they may be all right in a kitchen
for a fellow to wipe his rubber
boots on, but I wouldn't want to
see one in the living-roontl" That
very day there was an illustrated
"ad" in our daily paper showing
various pieces of living -room furni-
ture, and on the door was a braided
rug -and the price was $35.75. Be-
lieve me I showed that to my son
int a hurry. "So what - I still
don't like then!" was his only
comment. But Partner likes thetas
and the only thing that spoils my
enthusiasm is time fact that 111a're
run out of rags. And to think of
the rags I have sold through the
years for 10 cents a• bags Actually,
1 still have plenty of rags but they
would have to be dyed before I
could use them -and I dotl't know
the first thing about dying. Could
any experienced reader advise me?
Is there any dye a novice could
use satisfactorily without boiling
the goods I believe really beauti-
ful rugs could be made by working
out a colour scheme, And by the
way T don't sets my braids to-
gether in the old-fashioned way.
I lace thein together just as yott lace
your shoes -using fine strong twine,
threaded through a bodkin lacer. It
makes a much neater job, and the
finish ed rug by this method is also

In answer to my appeal Bob was
busy at the chopping block one
evening when the lone Canada
goose which 1 have just mentioned
flew over his head, making such
a terrific noise that both dogs
started harking furiously. I won-
der how the poor thing happeued
to be alone --was it on a recon-
naissance flight or had it been left
1,ehind? Of course we shall never
know the answer, but one natur-
ally wonders.
And then Airs, Robin had nee
guessing too, About ten flays ago
she was very busy malting her
nest: then she sat omit off and au
fen about two clays. But after that
she apparently disappeared. The
nest was deserted, and, since it
teas by a Irindow overlooking our
front hall 1 thought probably our •
going back and forth had disturbed
her. Put theo_after four days. Mrs.
Icoblu came back; settled down on
her nest and has been there ever
since, her beady eyes watching 11S
with complete unconcern as we
pass through tate hall. Evidently we
clid 1101 frighten her aftcr all -
perhaps site had just been away for
the weekend visiting friends. Or
angle it is customary for birds to
build their nests and then leave
them u, settle.
Well, 1 have actually started
housecleaning -but. in a very half-
hearted sort of way. 1 managed to
go the ceiling and woodwork
washed in the dining -roots and
tl.en, almost as soon as I had done
it the kitchen lire started to smoke.
Clouds or smoke cattle nillowing

room. Quick , . . quick -open tate

that's quite a help --you want to
try it sometime it you have an
electric fan in time house, Open
the doors; start the fan and the
smoke is dispersed iu a few Min-
utes, But it is better still to pre-
vent a smoker fire. I had been burn-
ing coal ----and then put cedar wood

the chimney check! i'ou can ima-
gine tine things I said to myself,
* *' r.1:
Scents to me 1 did tell you about
my rug -braiding activities, didn't
I?? Well, I finished a big rung a fete
clays ago and' had it down on the
floor. Bob looked at it very criti-
cally and presently remarked "f
can't see 1821511 to those things
they may be all right in a kitchen
for a fellow to wipe his rubber
boots on, but I wouldn't want to
see one in the living-roontl" That
very day there was an illustrated
"ad" in our daily paper showing
various pieces of living -room furni-
ture, and on the door was a braided
rug -and the price was $35.75. Be-
lieve me I showed that to my son
int a hurry. "So what - I still
don't like then!" was his only
comment. But Partner likes thetas
and the only thing that spoils my
enthusiasm is time fact that 111a're
run out of rags. And to think of
the rags I have sold through the
years for 10 cents a• bags Actually,
1 still have plenty of rags but they
would have to be dyed before I
could use them -and I dotl't know
the first thing about dying. Could
any experienced reader advise me?
Is there any dye a novice could
use satisfactorily without boiling
the goods I believe really beauti-
ful rugs could be made by working
out a colour scheme, And by the
way T don't sets my braids to-
gether in the old-fashioned way.
I lace thein together just as yott lace
your shoes -using fine strong twine,
threaded through a bodkin lacer. It
makes a much neater job, and the
finish ed rug by this method is also
reversible,
