ANNA BELLE'Soesnama Writes Bedtime Story

Some day you'll live to regret H..
her mother would remark. but Marga-
ret would toss her head. as much as if
TO say. II don't care II do" which
was very rude of her. think.
One day Margaret and her baby
brother, Walter, were playing out In
the street. just where her mother had
warned them never TO go. But you
see Margaret was disobedient and led
her little brother into mischief with
her. That wasn't very nice, was it? :.
OF course, they were so busy play
ing that they didn't notice big auto
mobile truck dashing down the street
towards them. but when they heard the
horn, what do you think they did?
Why they were so scared that they ran
right in front of the truck!
Just as they did SO Margaret saw
shabbily dressed man run out from the
sidewalk and push them aside just in
time to save them from being crushed
TO death under the wheels OF the big
truck
But the poor man was not quick
enough to save himself for he either
tripped or fell under the truck and
from what Margaret could see one or
his legs was hurt very badly. The
driver of the truck didn't wait TO see
what 1t was all about but put the poor
man on the truck and started as hard
as he could for the hospital.
About this time Margaret's mother
came out and was very much fright
ened when she learned what had hap
pened but the man was gone and she
couldn't understand what Margaret
was crying about.
Late that afternoon a policeman
called to find out about the accident
and 1t was only then that Margarets
mother learned that man had been
hurt saving her children from death,
The policeman told them that the man
was then In the city hospital and the
doctors feared he'd be crippled for
life
' OF course Margaret's mother was
glad to help the poor man all she
could. so taking Margaret and Walter
she left for the city hospital to see
what she could do. She found the
poor man propped up in pillows and
so weak he could scarcely talk. She
told the nurses to give him everything
he wanted and also gave him some
flowers she'd brought.
After many weeks of suffering the
poor man was able to get out but he
has to use a crutch. Margaret Is now
a very different girl and when she
passes a crippled person she doesn't
: laugh any more Instead of that she
now says. poor fellow" or poor
woman" or poor child such as you
or would say when we see crippled
l person. Now don't you think this is
good lesson for US all?
& P. 8. hope you enjoyed grandma's
story, and Pm sure that she has many
more good ones she wants you TO read.
You may get mother or daddy to, read
them to you if you wish. Why not ask
them? Lovingly.

GRANDMA'S BEDTIME STORIES In
this section. Be sure and tell your
friends about 1t. as I'm sure they will
enjoy her stories as well as do. You
will find 1t good idea 10 cut out these
stories each week and paste them in
your scrap book. The title of her first
story is ~
MARGARET'S FUNNY MAN,
Once on time there was little
girl named Margaret Morgan, who al
ways laughed at poor crippled people.
OF course, she didn't really mean to
be cruel or rude. but somehow she Just
couldn't help laughing when she'd
see them go hobbling down the street
Now, Margarets mother was very
kind woman and whenever Margaret
would laugh she'd feel very much
ashamed of her little daughters
thoughtlessness. and I'm sure you
couldn't blame her. could you?

CHAPTER vi,

Operations were over for the after
noon. The last case had been wheeled
out Of the elevator. The pit Of the OPP
Grating room was in disorder-towels
everywhere, tables of instruments,
steaming sterilizers. Ordcrlies were
going about, carrying out linens, empty
Ing pans. At table two nurses were
cleaning instruments and putting them
away in their glass cases. Irrigators
were being eInptied, sponges recounted
and checked Off on written lists.
In the midst of the confusion, Wilson
stood giving last orders to the inferno
at his elbow. AS he talked he secured
his hands and arms with q small

that: all order and peace and quiet,

misery there just the same. Have you
ever gone through hospital?"
K. LIE Moyne was stretched out on
the grass, his arms under his head.
For this excursion to the end of the
street car line he had donned pair
Of white flannel trousers and a belted
Norfolk coat. Sidney had been d.
vided between pride in his appearance
and fear that the Street would deem
him overdressed.
At her question he closed his eyes,

any girl Of that age is responsible

her hands? Besides, although haven't

pretty little thing. There is no use
filling up the wards with lot Of
ornaments; it keeps the internes all
stewed up"
"Since when," asked Doctor Ed mild
", "have you found good looks in a
girl handicap?"
In the end they compromised. Max
would see Sidney at his Office. It
would be better than having her run
across the Street-would put things
pm the right footing. For, If he did
have her admitted, she would have to
learn at once that he was no longer

tact, he was now staff, and entitled
to much dignity, to speech without con-
tradiction or argument, to clean tow

elbow.
Down the clean steps went Doctor
Max that morning, big man, almost
ps tall as X. lie Moyne, eager Of life,
strong and bit reckless, not fine, per-
haps, but not evil. He had the same
Eest of living as Sidney, but with this
aifference-the girl stood ready to give
herself to life: he knew that life would
come to him. All-dominating male was

we're people who believed in him, from

form to the row Of patients sitting
Stiffly around the walls of the waiting
room. Doctor Max drew long breath.
This was the real thing-work and
plenty of it, chance to show the other
men what he could do, a battle to
win! No humanitarian was he, but a
6ghter-each day he came to his office
with the same battle lust.
The office nurse had her back to him.
When she turned, he faced an agree

"But knew your name, of course"
lied Doctor Max. "And-Im sorry

After that came work. Miss Har.

words, was impatient when she could
not find the things he called for, even

They Are Coming South.

The people of the northwestern
states, beginning with Illinois, who
have been palling aad planning them
selves On the high prices OF their farm
lands are now getting the reflex wave.
Not only has their noise scared eff
immigration and new settlers from
other states but it has afforded the
owners Of farms an opportunity of
selling their lands ard going to some
place where they can buy to better
advantage, The railroads of Iowa.
Nebraska and Kansas are overrun
with applications for cars for mov-
ables by people who are going else
where The gulf states are getting
most of the migration, according to
tho stories of the railroad men whose
positions give them q knowledge of
the direction OF the tide.
There is no question but that the
balance of population of the country,
so long top-heavy in its northern half,
is being redistricted, and the south
is getting the major portion of the
changes. There is a reaction in the
public mind as regards the agricul-
tural opportunities of the mountain
west and the Pacific slope, Lands
there are as high and no more valu-
able, il as much, as in the central
west. The south offers sufficiently
good land. milder and less severe
climate with a much larger number
of acres for the same money 1t is
becoming widely understood that this
section affords better homes and cas-
Ter living than any other portion of
the country, and the south will be the
destination of large majority of the
people who are changing homes for
the next ten years.

OLD GEORGE MULLEN

Old George Mullin, the veteran pitcher who slipped back to the min ors last year after a long and distin- guished service in the big show, was born in Toledo thirty-six years ago to- day. Mullin got his baseball start with a school club in his native city, and played with Wabash, South Bend and Fort Wayne, Ind, before he broke into the big league with Detroit in 1902. Three times he helped to pitch the Tigers into the American League championship. For eleven years he was one of the stars of the Detroit slab staff. but in 1913 Jennings sold him to Washington for $2,50O. In 1914 old George deserted to the Fed eral League camp. playing with the Indianapolis champions, for whom he won fourteen victories, losing twelve. Last year he was turned over. to the Newark Feds, but the travelling was too fast for the old timer, and he got a job in the Delaware County, League, where Home Run Baker cavorted in 1Q15 r7 tA t-ft
