Little William had gone away from
the Jones' farm TO visit his Cousin
Fred. He had gone for three weeks
visit The cherry tree VAS ripe. HOW
would the cherries get picked ana
what would they all do without cherry
pie. as the hired men had no time TO
pick cherries.
Mother Jones was in despair she
couldn't think of single person 10
pick the cherries. She talked abou,
IL all the time One morning she woke
up and half the cherries were picked
She woke up the next morning ana not
a single one was left on the tree.
Now who do you suppose could have
been the cherry picker? You "hl
never guess. IL was Cousin Bruin ana
Jimmy Coon.
Cousin Bruin loves cherries, and one
dark night he and Jimmy came softiy
up to the cherry tree. They looked
into the barn. They saw that Ranger
Was 10; there. Then they took a peek
into the hen house. Some Of those OLD
hens grew quite restless, but they
didn't touch a single chicken, for theS
knew If they did there would he such
a squawking that they wouldn't have
a chance TO pick a cherry. Farmer

STREETS. CHILDREN AND AUTOMOBILES.

The Newton News dealing Win 'He
traffic problem suggests:
BY all means children should not ue

. place IS q mighty poor place for a
play ground. Parents should see 10
il that their children are kept out OF
the streets.
The parents OF most children are as
anxious to keep them safe as the pub
lie is TO avoid injuring them. but so
long as children are children there will
be children in the streets Of the resi-
dence districts. They will dash out
under the very wheels Of the passing
cars to rescue d ball or in their play
unheedful of their danger and in most
cases unknowing and unnoticing.
The burden of caution and precaution
will always be upon the driver. Chill
dren will be children and will be care
less as children are and have been,
and will continue 70 be careless. Driv-
ers must be careful. No law or ordi-

children entirely off the streets.
Fast and careless driving is response
bic for most accidents to children on
residence streets and for accidents
elsewhere and everywhere. There is
no good reason why man with mo-
tor car should insist that he be granted
right to go the mile from his home to
the center Of town in three minutes
and that everybody else must look out
for him. And when the statistics OF
accidents are analysed it will be found
that for nine out of ten the joy rider
is responsible.
The advice to parents, however is

Those who are old enough to re-
member the transforming companies
that once toured the country playins
Uncle Toms Cabin" will also re-
member another clasSic that was pro-
ducod--a drama OF blood and thunder
and thrills called Ten NIGHTS In
Bar Room" This was the work OF
Timothy Shay Arthur. mild man
nered and gentle little editor.
Timothy Arthur was born In New
burgh, y. " In 1903. He did not get
very much education, even tho his
family moved from the tiny town tina
was his birthplace to the city OF Balti-
more. Arthur was clerk at a small
salary, and worked hard. Later he had
a chance to see some of the country
by going west as agent for banking
concern. But somehow In his leisure
hours he read and studied enough so
that when he returned TO Baltimore
he was qualified to become editor of
an important magazine. From there
he went to Philadelphia and started q
journal OF his own which was pub
lished up to his death in 1885.
He was prolific writer. but his best
known work was the Then Nights in
Bar Room" whose bill posters al
ways showed an emaciated child try
ing to lead a drunken father away
from the brass rail and the whisky
glass. Arthur was temperance ad-
vocate and in those days abolition OF
slavery and temperance were the great
questions. II is easy to see why Ten
Nights" and Uncle Toms Cabin"
were always carried by theatrical
companies.
