The Seaforth News, 1917-04-05, Page 7When Ray Coon Went Dishing. One day, when the long winter Was nearly over and when there were signs of spring in the sunny corners of the woods, on the tops of the bills and in the fields, Ray Coon told Mother Coon that he wanted to go fishing through the ice. "Very well," said Mother Coon, "I think that is a good idea. Pm getting hungry for it fish dinner myself, But he careful! The ice is getting pretty thin, you know." "Oh, Tweet's get into any trouble," promised Ray Coon, as be hurried away to find the pole and the line. When he reached the pond he picked up a stout stick that he found on the shore, And he made his way carefully out on the ice a few steps. Then he raised the stout stick and brought down the end, thump! hang! crash! on the ice until he broke a hole big en- ough to fish through. He had to wait a long time for the first bite. At last there was a sud- den tugging on the line, and Ray Coon pulled it back sharply as it begin to slip through his hands. Then he drew to the surface a plump fish that he removed from the hook and Laid on the ice behind him. From that time he had fine luck. Three more fish, as large and as plump as the first one, lay on the ice when his hook caught something that he could not move. He pulled and pulled, but it was of no use. Now, while all this was happening, the Fox boys had left the tree where they were idling away the morning, and had slowly followed Ray Coon to the shore of the pond. Their eyes al- most popped out of their heads when they saw the fish lying on the ice be- side the hole where Ray Coon was standing. All at once they decided that fishing through the ice was worth while, and that they should like to join Ray Coon in his sport. Then they saw that he was pulling herd on his line without bringing anything to the surface. "Hold on, Ray!" shouted Reddy Fox, "We'll be right there!" "We thought that you might need help, and so we hurried over!" shouted Rusty Fox. Ray Coon had to laugh a little to himself when he saw them running to.. ward the pond, but he was very glad to see thele corning. "Hurry, boys!" he cried. "I guess I've caught a whale!" "My!" said Reddy Fox. "Don't let him drag you in!" "And don't jerk the line," said Rusty Fox, "That might bleak it." The Fox boys ran out on the ice and took hold of the slack of the line be- hind Ray Coon. "Now, all together, boys," cried Ray Coon, "Let's pull him out!" Something gave way a little, and Rusty Fox cried, "Pull harder, every- one! It's coming, and it's surely a whale!" But they did not pull out a whale or anything else. The strain of the sec- ond hard pull was too much for the line. It suddenly parted with a snap, and Ray Coon and the Fox boys fell sprawling backward on the ice. "Ouch!" grunted Ray Coon. "Ouch! Ouch!" grunted the two Fox boys. But they were not hurt, and if they had been hurt they would have forgot- ten it in their amazement at seeing two black heads push themselves out of the hole in the ice. Then Mr. Beaver and Mrs. Beaver came scrambling up on the ice. It was plain that they were both very angry. "What do you young rascals mean by this?" growled Mr. Beaver. "Pull- ing our house to pieces over our ears!" "Yes," joined Mrs. Beaver, "when we were all sound asleep, too, just as you ought to be until spring is here!" "I•'lease, Mr. Beaver, we meant no harm," said Ray Coon, While he was explaining how sorry he was, and how he wished that he could repair the damage, Mr, and Mrs. Beaver turned and flopped back through the hole into the water. "Well, it's too bad," said Ray Coon with a big sigh, "but I don't, see Trow I could help it!" Then Ray Coon sighed again. "Such' a 'fishing trip!" he said, "The Fax boys have taken my fish, and I have 1 lost my hook and can catch no more!" His spirits, usually so light, were! heavy as he trudged homeward through the woods. He was especial- veryI ly disappointed because he knew that, his mother was expecting a fish din -1 ner; and it was very hard to feel that' his fr'einds would play a mean trick on! him, But when he reached home, the very first thing that he smelled was frying: fish, and that even before he entered the house! And there in the kitchen were the Fox boys busily helping his mother set the table for dinner! "You see," explained Reddy Fox, be -1 fore Ray Coon could find his voice and 1 say a word, "we thought that we; would hurry right to your house with' the fish, for we knew that you would be pretty hungry by the time Mr, Beaver got through scolding you!" My! flow good that fish dinner tast- ed! But ucither Father Coon nor Mother Coon nor the Fox boys enjoy- ed it so much as Ray Coos did; and the hest part of the feast for him was to know that his friends had not play- ed a mean trick o1 him, after all, -- Youth's ('ompanion, You I eaz Do Your Bit in the trenches, in the home, in the office, in the factory, in the store, when the body is nourished with foods that build healthy muscle without overtaxing the di- gestive organs.

Suits, poplin, rajah and tussur are strongly in evidence, and many novel ideas are noticed in the developments of these materials. On a suit of gold - colored sills jersey, black velvet was used for the collar and for a band at the lower edge of the coat. Some suits of rajah silk are trimmed with stenciling in attractive color combina- tions. The stenciling is done on the fronts of the coats or only on the belts, just enough to furnish some contrast. This is one of the very newest trim- ming ideas. • In spite of the great vogue for col- ors in all the brightest hues and in all manner of combinations, a. great deal of black and white is used. When 7699 A Smart Spring Coat is Barrel Effect cleverly handled, this combination is always attractive. Solid black and White checked materials with rather large checks are considered smart for th coats, both for the long separate coats and for shorter coats to be worn With ro white serge skirts. a A good many spring coats have m til v taken on the lines of the new harre) silhouette, showing that this effect is not restricted to dresses only. .A very smart model is fashioned with a deep band at the lower part, the ful- ness of the upper part gruduaily los- ing itself when it roaches the band. Maehine stitching furnishes the finish of this emit, which is shown ht the sketch, 'fhe material is soft, spring - weight velours, one of the favored spring febt'rea. Ribbons are corning in for a great deal of prominence this season. They are not tited only for small aceessariea such as girdles and collars, but have become mush more important and have been employed for parcels and hats. Very wide striped ribbons combining three or more burmonizing colors have been used very effectively to make ptu'asole and to cover the entire crown aril top of the brim of light -weight straw hats for sports wear. Matching parasols, hats and handbags made of ribbon or the pretty figured silks, are seen aver and over again. These patterns may be obtained from your loco!

Ifileflying Has Been Favorite Amuse. meat in China for Centuries. The kite is one of the oldest toys in the world, It appears to have had its origin in China, where for thousands of years kiteflying has been the favor- ite amusement not only of the children but of grown persons, too. In Japan, Burma, the Malay Peninsula and other Eastern lands, kiteflying has long been as popular with all classes and ages as it is in China. From the Far East the kite long ago made its way to all other parts of the world, The young people of the Far East would consider it as very poor sport; to fly kites as plain and simple a those which Canadian boys fly. The! kites are of many shapes and sizes Most of them represent a bird, 00 a fish, or a dragon, or some other curi- 0115 imaginary monster, Tho frame- work is commonly made of 'bamboo, and the covering is colored paper, or, in case of the best ones, sills. Often the kites have tails of great length, The grown-up people have kiteflying festivals in which all the people of the village join. On such occasions some of the kites are of great size and of most elaborate design. At night they are sent up with long strings of lan- terns tied to them. Nor are the peo- ple content with kiteflying simply as a pastime. They have contests that rouse great interest --contests in e which one person tries to keep his kite 1 in the air longer than his rival can, or contests in which one person tries to make, his kite bring down or destroy the kite of the other, In our times the kite has become a very useful tool of science. Men use it to study the conditions that prevail, in the air far above the earth; thus it helps them to forecast the weather, It also helps then! in building airships, in taking pictures, in signaling, and in life saving on the coast. The Chinese 1 have long used kites to tow boats, and 1 to drop their fishhooks well out to sea while they themselves stand on the shore. s r of blood and that is more blood.

Asa matter of fact mushrooms con- n no more nourishment than any her of the green vegetables, and do stain as much or more indigestible tartar, Protein, which is the muscle ilding and waste -repairing element food, contains nitrogen; and so food al,ysts formerly assumed that they COL estimate the protein content of y :food by the amount of nitrogen it twined.
