Little Stories for Bedtime.
The Exciting Hunt for Bobby Coon.
By Thornton w. Burgess.

When Happy Jack Squirrel asked the
Merry Little Breezes Of Old Mother West
Wind to hurry over to the middle Of the
cornfield and warn Bobby Coon that Far
mer Brown and Farmer Browns boy had
found his tracks and were looking for him
the Merry Little Breezes had rushed
away in great excitement All that Happy
Jack could tell them was that Bobby
Coon was somewhere in the middle of the
cornfield. just where Happy Jack didn't
know. They would have to find him
themselves.
Now the way that the Merry Little
Breezes tell the little meadow and forest
people that danger is near Is by carrying
every little sound to the sharp little ears
Of whoever they are trying to. warn. OF
by carrying the smell of the danger tt
the keen little nose of the one who Is II
danger So now they hurried over t6
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns boy
to get the smell of them and then hunt
among the brown corn tents for Bobby
Coon. There wasn't any sound for then
to carry, for Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns boy were not making the leas'
bit of noise as they followed Bobby
Coon's tracks.
got that man smell they rushed straight
ahead with it. but not knowing just where
Bobby Coon was they started In the
wrong direction. Farmer Brown smiled
for you see he knows all about the Merry
Little Breezes and he knew then Just what
they were trying to do. so he kept right
on following Bobby Coon's tracks Wnen
the Merry Little BreeZes failed to nnd
Bobby they rushed back to start again In
another direction. This time they started
in the same direction that Bobby's tracks
pointed, but Farmer Brown was Watching
out sharp and the instant they started
he and his boy went off to one side and
began to work toward the middle of the
cornfield from that point
Now such a very faint smell as man

world to carry and the only way in which
the Merry Little Breezes can carry 1t is

When the Dead Came Back.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

Right by the little village of Nix. In
the land OF Nod. lay the cemetery. where
the dead had lain for years and years.
One day all the dead people in the
cemetery got up and walked into town.
You may be sure there was a great
to-do. There were Mysteries and joyous
greetings. also not a little embarrass-
ment. as in the case Of second wives.
Now. those who have been dead for
some time have learned a great many
important things about living. They
learn to forgive and to forget. and are
very gentle and helpful. So the dead
people who had come to life went about
among the live people and tried to tell
them some Of the good things they
knew.
They explained that they had only a
weeks vacation, at the end of which
they must go back to their graves. God
had granted them this. at their urgent
request. in order that they might give
some sadly needed counsel and direc-
ton to their beloved relatives and friends
who were spelling their lives by making
serious mistakes.
They further said they would not be a
burden. because they needed no food
drink or shelter; neither did they wish to
brighten any one; they simply wanted to
The parson called a grand meeting at
the church. where all the spirits explain
ed to the living many vital and neglected
truths, and showed what was worth
while.
Besides this. the risen dead went from
house to house, and taught men and
women not to be greedy, nor lazy, nor
stupid. nor fearful, not to bother so much
about laying up money. not to be so
eager to get on, and all such things. be-
cause when life Is over 1t doesn't matter.
Also they taught them to love and to be
happy. to help one another. to be kind.
and to appreciate the sunshine in the air
and the beauty of the earth.
For the first two or three days the VII
lage was in a state Of spiritual exalta-
ton. Old grudges were buried, enemies
became recOnciled, drunkards reformed,
thieves made restitution. quarrelsome
folk became peaceable. stingy men grew
generous, soured and churlish women
turned to sweetness. and it verify looked
as though the millennium had moved in.
But by Thursday signs Of trouble be-
gan to be apparent.
BY Friday the people were bored.
BY Saturday everybody was looking
forward with i'll concealed glee to the
permanent departure of the visitors.
And after the dead had returned, with
their wisdom and goodness, to their
graveyard. the whole town slumped back
into its old human, muddling imperfec-
ton and blindness.
They called meeting and notified the
preacher that Sundays he was to talk
to them just as the dead people had done.
but that on weekdays he was to let them
alone.

American English.
From the Philadelphia Press.

|
Not so long ago-say a score Of years
it was the delight of that doughty cham
pion of our grammarian and linguistic
rights, Prof. Brander Matthews, to cast
his gauntlet in the faces Of the hauhty
pathological dons of, Oxford and Cam
bridge. He even dehed the authority OF
Dr. Murray's last word Where is he
now, not to be able to resent a last and
GROWING insult? He. who went red at
the mere mention or thought of the
queens English and who proved con-
clusively to a host Of loyal adherents that
our rule of print in such. Latin words as
labor" or "savor' was incontestably
correct, being but the Latin itself instead
of the bastard man-French-where IS
he? We are surely in sore need at this
moment Of such passionate verbalist to
repudiate the outrageous assertion that
it is to England we must look at this
moment to furnish us with the forms of
correct speech. For the cable tells us
that schools now exist in London where
in the English accent with other 'po-
lite forms of speech" may be learned by
visiting Americans. The Daily Mirror of
London has found such a school. and
given by it why Yankee pupils should be
renovated. They are:
Il. Because the accent is prettier than
the American
'2. Because the English spoken in Eng
land is naturally the pure language.
SO. For reasons of pride. To appear
English after visiting England.
81. The StudiOuS desire to be able to
read aloud Shakespeare and other liter
allure in the English tongue
We are furthermore informed that one
pupil was instructed to learn "English
English; to avoid the American nasal
articulation; learn 1.-The different pro-
nunciations without questioning why;
and mot accentuate the letter r. Then
we are told that this youth was last found
making an authorized list of such slang
terms as "My hat My word My
aunt
1t is a great pity that Brander Mat
thews' should not arise in his wrath and
use some real language. He might quote
the late honest Matthew Arnold as say
ing that-an Englishman's accent. comic
drawl, and affected. unnatural infections
are universally regarded as absurd, and
that the high-bred Irish gentleman is the
only man in the British Isles who speaks
the English tongue with obvious purity,
equal to that of an educated Philadel-
Dhian.

and then of course they couldn't carry
the smell at all.
Happy Jack Squirrel. watching from the
fence post where he had first called to
the Merry Little Breezes, grew SO ex-
cited that he couldn't keep still. Who
would find Bobby Coon first? He could
see Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown s
boy getting nearer and nearer to the mid
die Of the cornfield, and his heart almost
stopped beating as he thought of what
might happen to Bobby Coon II they
should find him. 1t was dreadful to sit
there and not be able to do anything at
all to warn Bobby!
ooh, dear! Oh. dear! They'll surely get
him. walled Happy Jack.

by working ala together and continually
passing 1t along from one to another or
course when Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns boy moved of to one side the
nearest Little Breeze lost the smell and
couldn't pass it along. So back they all
had to come and start over. and this time
they went in the wrong direction again
and once more Farmer Brown smiled as
he and his boy very, very carefully APP
preached one brown corn tent after an
other all the time watching out for Bobby
Coon. The Merry Little Breezes grew SO
excited that they separated and scattered
in all directions hunting for Bobby Coon.
