Bedtime Story For the Little Ones
''Uncle Wiggily and the Shoe Lady
By HOWARD, B. GARIS.

We'll, now I have my new shoes ]
wonder if / will meet with an adVen-
ture today thought Uncle Wiggily. as
he hoped on. And he did. I'll tell
you about it.
Pretty soon he came TO a great big
shoe, standing in the middle Of the
woods. The shoe had a roof over it,
with a chimney sticking out Of the top.
There was a door TO the shoe and win
dows. In fact, IT was a house, made
out OF great. big shoe which a giant
used to wear.
-Ha, There is where the Old Woman
lives" said Uncle Wiggily. The Shoe
Lady. L wonder If she is at homc""
He was going to knock on the door
and ask how all the children were,
when from inside the shoe there came
the sound Of crying; children crying,
many of them
"Ha. l wonder il that means trou-
ble?" asked Uncle Wiggily of himself.
Il had better ask if I can do anything"
He knocked on the door and the Old
Woman Who Lived in a Shoe or Shoe
Lady, as ] call her for short, opened it.

Gle Wiggily Il heard crying"
"Of course" spoke the Shoe Lady,
the children always cry when ] whip
them. Don't you know how it is in the
Mother Goose book;
There was an old woman who lived in
she had so many children she 7idn't
know what to do.
She gave them some broth. without any
bread:
She whipped them all soundly and sent
them to bed"
That's what happened said the
Shoe Lady.
We'll. er-excuse me-but. that is. do
you think 1t just right TO whip them
ALL?" asked Uncle Wiggily. kindly.
Might not at least one Of them have
been good?"
"Oh. bless your tail hat" exclaimed
the Shoe Lady with a laugh. 81 don't
really whip them. you know That part
of the verse is wrong l only make
believe to whip them ~ ytvIl;;ii, you
know. so as to make it as near like the
book as 1 can"
But heard crying" said Uncle Wig
gily.
yes. but it was only believe
crying, just like the pretended whip

wouldn't hurt one Of the children. even
though / have so many I don't know
what to do"
Uncle Wiggily was glad to hear that,
and he was just hopping on. when up
came running a little boy.

cried II want my make-believe whip

THEDA BARA WARNS
AaInITInL Girls

Theda Bara, the vampire OF the
William Fox productions. has issued
a warning TO all screen struck girls
IF the average girl only knew the
sacrifices necessary to attain success
in motion pictures she would carefully
consider before selecting screen acting
as ner lifes work" says Miss Bara.
THE demands made on the time Of
the motion picture actress are greater
than those made on the time Of the
woman engaged in the pursuit of any
other art.
IF one really feels that she has
histrionic talent of a high order and
she is willing to labor indefatigably,
il may be well enough for her to enter
pnotoplay. IT, however, she aspires
merely to reveal her own personality
on the screen, it is best that she re-
main among her friends who probably
win appreciate her more than the
average motion picture audience

THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT
SHOULD HAVE BETTER PLACE

The more the reporter thinks of 1t,
the more he is convinced that the
Confederate monument is in the wrong
pace True enough it has been where
i: is mighty long time and will likely
remain hid away in the back ground
behind the old court house, but this
isn't going to keep US from suggesting
that the proper place for this monu-
ment to our Confederate dead is in
the most conspicuous place that can
&c found for it-in front Of the old
court house Every name carved on
that monument is the name Of hero
and a patriot, yet how many Of our
people and especially our younger
people are familiar with the names and
the inscription on that shaft. True
enough the names Of Nance and
Maffett and Of Rutherford are house
hold words, but it is because of the
frequent occurrence o. these names in
the newspapers in connection with T..
D. c. chapters and not because their
names appear on the monument The
names of those noble and heroic pri-
Yates whose names are engraved upon
this monument are seldom if ever,
mentioned in the public prints and as
scarcely anybody ever takes the trou-
bic to Walk out of the way to inspect
the monument at close view the names
dpon* it are distant and unfamiliar and
without meaning to a large proportion
Of our younger people How many peo-
pie have you ever seen reading the
names on this monument? Isn't it
the most desolate and deserted spot In
the city? Move it to the front o. the
old court house and place it over the
spot where the old mile post used to
stand so that We may come into closer
touch with the memory of those whose
names and deeds it stands to perpetu-
ate and as we linger round it from day
I" day let us not forget these immortal
remes and the inspired inscription:
This is a record Of sacred dead. They
were the soldiers Of the Southern Con-
f"deracy. from Newberry district.
South Carolina, who battled for right
and perished; Thus their living COM
r"des and they who loved them, mem
ori2e their lives"
