BED TIME I ALES
HE WHO LAUGHS rRIGHTENs TROUBLE away
By CLARA INGRAM JUDSON

Father Beaver had always heard
of bears. He had heard they were
big and black, gruff and growly and
very, very cross. But he didn't know
anything about them first hand, not
single thing. But. tho he had never
seen one, he knew what they looked
like, for he had been told that many,
many times. So when he rounded the
corner of the bend of Crooked Creek
and saw the Black Bear on his pre-
cious raft he knew in a minute that
that creature was a bear-yes sir, he
knew that. And he was scared, too.
6readfully scared. Not even the fact
that Mother Beaver and Bushy and
Little Brother and Briar Beaver were
close behind him, coming to take their
promised ride, made him any less
scared. He thought that hear would
turn around and eat him 4p right the
very first minute.
But he needn't have worried about
that! The Black Bear was far too
busy trying to keep from tipping into
the creek to think about eating any
body. That's just the way-very few
things, dreadful things, that we think
are surely going to happen really do
happen, and when we're wise we don't
worry. That's what Father Beaver
learned.
He stood there by the side of the
creek, and the other beavers who had
come up behind stood there, too, and
they. were all so scared they could
hardly move-they didn't think they
would have time to run away before
the bears got them. And while they
were standing there. the Black Bear
was having the awfulest time trying
to keep that raft right side upi You
see, it was made for beavers, not for
bears. And even one bear was too
heavy for 1t. and tipped it over. The
Black Bear swayed from one side to
the other and then-all of a sudden
he tumbled into the wateri
Father Beaver forgot all about be-
ing afraid. He laughed and he laugh

KANSAS NEWSPAPERS.

What is believed to be the first eff
fort to record the complete history of
every newspaper and periodical pub
lished in a state is the History of Kan
sas Newspapers which has just been
issued by William E. Connelley, secre-
tary of the Kansas State Historical
society. It is an exceedingly conspic-
uous addition to the historical litera-
ture of the state and reflects unusual
credit on Mr.. Connelley and his abili-
ties to discharge the duties of his Of
flee in ways that are of immense value
to the commonwealth.
The volume is one of 373 pages,
fifty of which are devoted to a care
fully compiled and thoroly complete
index of all the matter it contains.
1t comprises not only a detailed his
tory of the newspapers and magazines
published in Kansas from the organi-
cation of Kansas territory in 1854 to
January 1, 1916, but also brief and
accurate statistical information of the
counties, cities and towns of the state.
| In the way of illustrations are the
presentation of the portraits of many
of the newspaper men and women
who have been, and most of whom
still are, prominent in the states news
paper field, and these are accompan-
| led by interesting biographical
sketches. There are also many of the
latter where space did not permit the
reproduction of photographs.
Perhaps it is not going too far to
01o eli xy t9&n ~
papers as a subsidiary history of
Kansas and its development as the his
tory of the state and that of it's news
papers are so closely interviewer as to
be a part and parcel of each other.
This suggestion is emphasized by
Mr.. Connelley's preface in the work
where he writes:
From the first Kansas regarded
the press as her supreme asset. In no
ever equal to that of Kansas in either
ability or enterprise. This high stand
ard was set up in the stirring terri
torial period when Kansas was bat
thing for freedom for herself and lib
erty for America. The first conflict
which ragged here attracted the bril-
liant minds of the times. and it car
! be truthfully said that it was the per

In the big eastern states where la
Dor. organized and otherwise, is by far
numerically the strongest, even to rail-
road employees. President Wilson did
not make much of a showing. So
much for the efforts of the big labor
leaders to swing the labor vote in a
mass to the Democratic presidential
candidate. Such efforts have always
been futile in this country, and prob
ably always will be. President Wilson
achieved his victory on Tuesday in the
sections of the country where the la
Dor vote is of rather insignificant pro-
portions.
