Bed Time Stories
For the Little
Folks
Billy Pig Falls Asleep.

'J ~ rdVs f%steep.
Billy Pigs mother said one morn
ing: 1T is time. Billy Pig, that you
were planting your garden. You take
this basket of seeds and go into the
garden and do not stop to talk with
Billy Goat or any one until it is fin
ished."
Billy Pig trotted off with every good
intention of planting. for he had WIS.,
ions of green lettuce and turnip tops,
SO he went to work with a will.
But by and by the sun began to be
little too warm for his comfort. and
he thought he would rest few min.
utes.
BY and by he began to fell sleepy
and slipped down into the tall grass.
He was completely hidden excepting
Tor his tiny little tail, which showed
Now the big gobbler from the next
farm was always looking about in out.
Driveway places for something to eat
and this morning he thought he would
go by Billy Pigs garden.
Perhaps | may find very large
worm" he said to himself, "and some
corn, too"
When he reached the garden, sure
enough there was corn, for Billy Pig
had not covered the corn or the seeds
he had planted. He dropped them into
the ground and thought he would GOV.
CT them all at once.
1t did not take Mr.. .Gobbler long to
finish eating every bit of poor Billy
Pigs planting, and then he stretched
his neck and thought nice, big worm
was the only thing he needed to com
plete a most delicious meal.
Mr.. Gobbler listened, for he could
hear Bill Pig snore, but after waiting
minute and nothing happening, he
concluded that the noise was of little
Importance and began scratching.
Suddenly he stopped and started, for
right in front of him was the incest
looking big worm he had ever seen
He looked a second longer and then
he grabbed the worm with his sharp
bill and tried to swallow it.
For minute 1t seemed to Mr.. Cob
bier that the sky had fallen and the
earth had opened and all the trees
were flying about him and all the ami
mails in the world were squeezing. He
Mapped his wings and ran, but as the
earth seemed perfectly safe short
distance away, he stopped and looked
back.
There was Billy Pig dancing about
and squeezing, and no one else in sight |
Mr.. Gobbier ran back. what is the
matter, Billy Pig?" he asked.
I"Oh! oh! OH squeeled Billy, still
dancing about. Something dreadful
happened. almost lost my tail. am
sure 1t must have been tiger or q
lion that bit 1t; no other animal could
have had such sharp teeth | am not
sure but it is gone entirely. Please do
look, Mr.. Gobbler, and see if the least
bit of my tail still remains"
"Your tail is all there" said Mr.
Gobbler. "You must have dreamed |
that something bit you. You have
been asleep, haven't your"
Eyes, I have been taking a little
nap" confessed Billy Pig, "but l am
sure | did not dream anything so real
as that bite l felt Why, l felt thai
creatures teeth and then he tried to
pull 1t off. Are you quite sure, Mr.
Gobbler, that it is all there?"
Quite sure" said Mr.. Gobbler.

READY TO PROBE
PH|lANTROPH|ES
lNOusrRIAL RELATIONS coMMls-
SION TO INVESTIGATE ROCK
EFELLER FUND.

New York. Jan. 5.-The stage is be-
Ing set today for the official probe Of
The United States Commission on In
'dsstrial Relations Of the big founda-
tions and benevolences centering in
this city. The commission has set
this date for the opening of the fnves-
tigation of the Rockefeller Founda-
tion. the largest of them all. and that
one at which the sharpest barbs of
critics have ben aimed 1t is probable
that the formal investigation will be
postponed few days, but 1t Is expect
ed to be in full swing by next week.
The Rockefeller Foundation officials,
who have charge of the immense bene-
factions of the ION King" declare
they are welcoming the probe, and are
prepared to sustain the efficiency and
benevolent character of their aid to
institutions, and to disprove the allie
cations OF Interior motives.
The attacks upon the Rockefeller
fund are not confined to one source,
but are principally voiced by the labor
leaders of the country. President
Samuel Gompers has maintained op-
position to ANY mans attempting to
establish himself as a sort of all-see-
ing Providence to provide for future
and present generations" When the
Foundation was established. declares
Gompers. Organized labor protested
against granting federal charter to
increase and perpetuate Mr. Rockefel-
ler's power over the educational forces
and thought of the nation and the
world The insidious influences and
corruption which organized labor
feared developed. Last summer it
was revealed that 600 nominally gov
eminent employees were on the pay
rolls Of the Rockefeller Foundation"
In his most recent attack. Mr.. Gompers
declared that the Foundation" has not
escaped the fire of general condemna-
tion in the Colorado strike situation"
The criticisms aimed at the Rookie
Teller Foundation are summed up in
Mr.. Gompers' two questions: "Why
should one of the most powerful re-
search institutions in the world be
financed by private moneys and pri-
vate boards and its financial interests
identified with those of ruthless ex-
plotting corporations? Can the re-
searches and spirit of an institution
under the domination of the Standard
Oil t.ll.c-s be that of search for
truths regardless of all else-search
for absolute truths?"
Among the witnesses to be heard
~ the members Of the governing |
board OF the Foundation. An indica-
ion of their attitude was given the |
Dlitdc recently by President Emeritus
Dharles W. Eliot of Harvard. who Wig
,rously defended the character and
Of Mr.. Rockefeller. and pro-
claimed him the country greatest
business man as well as its greatest

ion.
