Bedtime Stories
The Little Rabbit Finds a Friend
BY Thornton W. Burgess
No qift that Fortune ever sends
Can equal hne and faithful friends
po+o I)a.L

If ever there was a thoroughly ms
cradle little Rabbit that one was the
willful little son of Peter Rabbit & he
crouched in his hiding place in the old
stone wall and gazed up at the sharp
face Of Chatterer, the Red Squirrel.
Chatterer had just told him that that
old stone wall belonged to Striped
Chipmunk and himself, and had or
dered that little Rabbit to leave at
once
Now. Of course, that little Rabbit
hadn't the least idea where he could go
and be safe He had asked Chatterer
could go.
Chatterer scowled and tried to look
very fierce. II don't know where you
can 60" said he. II don't care where
YOU 60. Go anywhere, but get away
from here as soon as you can. Now,
let me see what those long legs of
yours are good for
The frightened little Rabbit prepared
to crawl out of his hiding place and
once more start out into the Great
World. There seemed to be nothing
else for him to do. Chatterer wasn't
as big as he, but there was something
very fierce about him. and the ilttle
Rabbit dared rot disobcy Besides,
there was Striped Chipmunk, and that
made two against one. Then, too, this
old wall belonged to them, and he really
had no right there. So, with big tear
starting from each eye the little Rab-
bit prepared to go
Then for the first time Striped Chip
runk spoke: Don't YOU pay the least
attention to that relocated cousin Of
mine" said he, kindly. I'VE don't own
this stone we'll. You have Just as much
right here as we have Chatterer lives
in the Green Forest, and really IS only
a visitor here He is simply trying to
scare YOU. Don't mind word he says.
| live in the old stone we'll; or. TO be
exact. in q hole in the ground under II.
So if any one has a right to claim this
old wall have. But 1t doesn't really
belong to me- 1t doesn't belong to any
BODY. There is plenty of room for you.
and | will be glad TO have you stay as
long as YOU want to- Just don't heed
Chatterer at all. He is mischief
maker and nothing else"
At once Chatterer began to scold
Striped Chipmunk and call him names.
His tongue fairly few. and the faster
it few the angrier he became. Finally
he made a rush at Striped Chipmunk.
Striped Chipmunk lodged and then
raced away along the old stone wall,
with Chatterer at his heels In and out
amongst the stones of the old wall the
two cousins raced and lodged The lit

Personality Rule Attacked
Single Domination Blamed for
Administrations Inefficiencv

Regius H. Post. former Governor OF
Porto Rico, speaking al the Repub-
lican Women's Forum at the Vanderbilt
Hotel yesterday. declared that govern
ment by personality was largely re-
sponsible for the ineffciency of the
resent Administration.
"The day has come when we must
give up government by the predom-
nance of single personality" said Mr..
Post, because it destroys the all-im-
portant check and balance which the
trainers Of the Constitution intended
should exist between the Executive and
legislative branches OF the govern
ment.''
Thomas D. Smith, of Hiawatha. Kan
also addressed the Forum on the sub
ject of Republican campaign issues.

Construction work on Middletown
Avenue bridge, on the New Haven
Meriden route, calls for d detour in
New Haven for automobiles bound
north on this important New England
trunk line. Those driving to Hartford
can save themselves mileage by going
straight out or Whitney Avenue, New
haven, through Mount Carmel to Ches-
hire and Southington. The first part Of
this road, from New Haven to Mount
Carmel, is distinctly bad. but from
Mount Carmel on to Cheshire it is a
wonderful surface.
From Southington the regular route
through Plainvlle and Pennington
may be followed to Hartford
1t is worth while noting that since
the trolley strike in Bridgeport getting
through that town by motor car is a
matter Of a few minutes instead of half
an hour or more. 1t is clear demon
strations of the amount of delay caused
by the slower moving lrolleys and the
law that calls for a complete halt back
of any trolley car stopped to take on
passengers because Of the narrow
streets. The people seem to be get
ting around we'll enough in the
busses, too. The strike meets with the
perfect appreciation of the transient
motoring public, who have tasted the
joys of doddering through Bridgeport
in other times

A worthy lady
from the South,
where she lived

for a long time, spoke of the
drinking water, saying that she
always strained it through little
pieces Of gauze, because there
were tiny little worms or bugs
in it, hardly perceptible to the
human eye.
We need to be careful of what
we drink with our mouths and
take in with our ears.
Better far to run away from
companion who pours out
upon us the contents of a bad
book he has read, and better
stop going to movies that speak
to our eyes of the worst sides of
lives that have gone down in
failure.
A crooked tree, warped when
it was little, is to be pitied, but
infinitely more is it to be de-
plored that young fellow
should form taste for things
that will stunt his life and dis
appoint his parents and friends.

The same is true, also, of the suites, for bed

Don't think that because it is half price this
furniture is in the least degree undesirable 1t is
not. There isn't piece Of furniture in the Sale
that hasn't got place waiting for it in some
thoughtfully planned home.
If every home-maker of good taste and
proper sense of the value of money realized this
there wouldn't be piece of furniture left on our
floors this evening.
The August Sale has been-as it ALWAYS has
been-a good sale, satisfactory to our customers
and to U.s.
1t was marked by larger variety of grades
and styles than is included in regular stocks
These must be pruned down before the sale closes
1t included special groups which sold we'll, but
of which few pieces and suites remain These
must be closed out before August 81
