The End of the Beechnut Feast
Good times too soon are Of the past;
A pity it's they do not last.

Good times too Of the past;
pity it's they do not last
And yet Is 1t pity? If they lasted
always we wouldn't half appreciate
them. And, after all. good time is
never wholly of the past, because al
ways you have the memory of it, and
that is something no one can take away
from you. The thing to do is to make
the most of good time while you can.
If one good time lasted always there
would be no other good times to look
forward to.
OF course, the beechnut feast in the
Green Forest had to come to an end.
With SO many sharp-eyed people look

most of them had been found. But
while they lasted the happiest place in

was smart enough to know that If he
would get his share he could waste no
more time quarreling.
At last the little brown nuts were so
scarce that they were hardly worth
looking for. Buster Bear and Lightfoot

plenty against the day of need, and ne

would dig up but a great many he
would forget all about. They would re-
main right where he had buried them
until the coming OF sweet MistreSs

spring I'D a tiny beech tree. SO. though

the most useful of all those VINO Ead

Sammy Jay had eaten until he could
eat no more. and had stored away many
for future use. Redhead the Wood
necker felt very fine and quite fit to
move south when the weather should
become too cold for comfort. So the
place where the beech trees grow was
Quite deserted by all save Whitefoot
the Wood Mouse. You see. his home is
close by and he still hunted for nuts
which the others had overlooked. al
though his storehouse was so full that
he had started to fill another. White
foot is thrifty. Best of all. nothing had
hanpened to any of the feaSters. Reddy
Fox and Mrs. Reddy, Old Man Coyote
and Hooty the Owl had tried in vain to
catch one of them. And so when the
good times ended there were no unhap-
nv memories. You see. Reddy Fox and
Mrs. Reddy and Old Man Coyote found
plenty to eat elsewhere They didn't
go hungry. Oh. my, no! They were
simply disappointed. put iheir dtsa2-
pointment meant that nothing dread
full happened to the other little people.
So the beechnut feast was great sue
cess, and because of it many little peo-
ple Of the Green Forest were better pre-
pared for the coming of Jack Frost and
