THE BEDTIME STORY
Told for the Thoughtful Mother Read the Children Tonight
Before the Coming of the Sandman

Il knew a man once, who could not
awaken early enough in the morning to
get to his business on time. So he
bought an alarm clock. The first night
he wound it up tight and set it
The first morning the alarm went off
with a loud ring, and the man jumped
right out of bed. The second morning
he did not get up right away when it
rang, and so he fell asleep again.
The third morning. when the alarm
went off. he did not hear it so plainly.
and it was easier than the morning be
fore to go back to sleep.
The fourth morning the man did not
hear the alarm at all, and was very, very
late in getting TO his work. He had as
well not have had an alarm clock at all
if he was not going to listen to It and
obey its can, hadn't he?"
Yes" said Nellie. but what has that
to do with my little conscience clock?
TT will happen just the same to you
il you don't pay any attention to the
voice of your conscience. The first few
times it warns you that what you are
doing is wrong it will tug at your heart
and hurt a good deal in its effort to make
you listen, for IL Is faithful little clock
and tries to tell you what is right
THE second time you refuse to listen
to it and go right ahead doing a self
ish or naughty thing you win lessen your
ability to hear its clear ring. and the
third time it will not sound nearly 70
loud.

MARCH is THE MONTH FOR
BEGINNING GARDEN WORK
Annals Should Be Started in Indoor Seed Boxes Six
Weeks Before the Blooming Period

The seed boxes must not be overwatered
or the seeds flooded out of place by the
use of a watering pot

uses a whisk broom for sprinklinG his
seeds during the period of termination.
The moisture is conserved by placing
glass over the seed boxes, covered with
black paper to keep out the light AS
soon as the seedlings appear they must
have air and light If the box is kept
in a window it should be turned every

March is the month of preliminary
work The ANIMALS should be started in

protected from the frost. but will bloom
much earlier.
Flats for seed starting can be bought.

There was something the matter with
the alarm clock. and Uncle Dick was taxi
ing it to pieces in order to find out just
if he could.
Nellie was very much interested in
watching him. and wanted to know for
what each little wheel was intended. The
trouble was with the alarm It would
go off when properly wound and set.
but would not ring out loud and clea r
SO that one could hear it even in the
next room. Sometimes il would not go
off at all when wound and set. Nellie
was as anxious TO find out the reason
for this as was her uncle, and she watch
ed his every movements eagerly.
Did your alarm clock ever get so it
would not go off at the right time, or
would ring so feebly that you could not
hear it at all. Nellie?" Uncle Dick asked
the little girl.
Nellie was puzzled over the question.
why 1 have no alarm clock. uncle"
she said.
oh. but you have. Nellie. When God
made you He made a little clock inside
OF you. He wound the alarm up tight
and set it to 60 OF whenever you begin
to fret or scold. or to be in any way a
naughty little GIRL
Tell me what you mean, Uncle Dick -
begged Nellie, for she did not yet quite
understand. ..

girl Up ON his knees.

afternoon there seemed fewer things for
the little girl to do. and I am sorry to
say that she grew impatient and cross.
