JUNGLE JINKS.

1. Jacko gets his fair share of paddy whacks. but he has some good luck sometimes. Last Thursday, for instance, his uncle sent him a sovereign. Of course. Jacko jumped for joy. and. being a nice, kind-hearted lit th* boy. he decided to spend half of it on a present for bis old nurse. Widow Bruin, and the rest on a banquet to his schoolfellows.

3. But. as bad luck would have it. Jacko was spied by the Boars. ‘‘Oho!” cried Billy Boar, •'what’s this I see? Jacko sneaking out alone to have a feast all by himself.” “And he has the cheek lo call us greedy pigs!” snorted brother Willy. “Let’s follow him and see w here he is going.”
