Little Stories for Bedtime
HAPPY JACK SQUIRREL MAKES A
 CALL
By Thornton w. Burgess

Happy Jack Squirrel likes the snow. He always has liked the snow. It makes him feel frisky. He likes to run and jump in it and dig little holes in it after nuts which he hid under the leaves before the snow fell. When his feet get cold all he has to do is to scamper up a tree and warm them in his own fur coat. So the big snow storm which made so much trouble for Inc Billy Possum just suited Happy Jack Squirrel. and he had a whole lot of fun making his funny little tracks all through that part of the Green For est in which he lives.
 Happy Jack didn't know anything about Unc' Billy Possum's troubl<s. He supposed that Unc' Billy was safe at home in his own big hollow tree, fast asleep, as he had been most of the winter. Happy Jack couldn't under stand how anybody could want to sleep in such fine weather, but that was their own business, and Happy Jack had learned a long time ago not to worry about other peoples business. So he frisked about this way and frisked about that way in the snow, and raced up to the tops of the tallest trees and down again just for fun and because he felt so good
 Sometimes he would stop to rest. Then he would sit up very straight and fold his hands across his breast where they would get nice and warm in the fur of his coat. His beautiful, great gray tail would be arched up over his back. His bright eyes would snap and twinkle and then he would shout just for joy, and every time he shouted he jerked his big tail. Farmer Browns boy called it barking, but it was Happy Jacks way of shouting and this is what he would say:
 love to romp. love to play.
 I'm happy, happy. all the day!
 love the snow so soft and white!
 love the sun that shines so bright
 love the whole world for, you see,
 The world is very good to me.
 By and by Happy Jack came to the hollow tree that Farmer Browns boy had cut down because he thought that Unc' Billy Possum was inside of it.
 'Hello," exclaimed Happy Jack That's one of the old store houses of my cousin, Chatterer the Red Squirreli I've got an old storehouse near here and I guess I'll see if I left any nuts in it.'

A King Loses His Hair

King George of England, according to cable news, is suffering from falling hair. Most of the other European kings are suffering from falling thrones. Either is annoying, but a king with falling hair is in the more hopeless po sition.
 A fallen monarch may work his way back onto the throne by constant scalp massage treatment-provided his army does the massaging and the peepul fur nish the scaips. But a fallen hair is a. fallen hair in the case of 8 king of a kalsominer.
 Once a fallen hair always a fallen hair.
 Nothing in the life and works of King George has won so much sym pathy, support, and effection on the part of his own people and those of all nations as this sudden parting with his hair. No matter how one may feel about a man in other respects; no mat ter how one may disagree with his poli- cies and belittle his public acts, there is something about a man when he first begins to get baldheaded that touches their heartstrings. One touch of badness makes the whole world kin.
 
 Indeed, King George has shown great diplomacy and tact in getting bald at such a critical stage in the affairs oi England and the world. Personally we are inclined to give that canny Welsh man. Lloyd George, credit for the move
 
 The willy premier knows full well | that at time like this, when Eng land and it's king are not overpopu | lar the news that King George has falling hair and must go through the rest of his natural life with l barbers tauting him with, It's get

he fell. The First Servant In Waiting to Members of the Royal Family Fall ing From Trees witnessed the fall and rushed into the kings presence.
 What ho?" cried the king slight ly annoyed at being interrupted at his afternoon diversion of stroking the cat.
 Your heir is falling" cried the
 servant.
 "So it is, gadzooks," cried the
 king after clasping his hand over
 the top of his royal bean
 Well, the king became very de- pressed and morbid at once. The court shampooers, hair dressers, marble workers and High Knights of the Dan druff were summoned. They tried to kid the king, as is the practice in such cases. with such idle remarks as:
 1. Why, nobody would ever notice it."
 ?. "As matter of fact. a high fore head becomes you.'
 8. "AIl great men are bald"
 4. T know a friend who has friend, who used four bottles of Glover's Mange Cure and now has to wear a hair net.
 "And this" he excIaims, in period
 of great depression, "is all l got out
 of the world war!"
 England, with characteristic leth-
 argy is doing nothing about it.
 Lord Northcliffe is said to be about
 to launch newspaper crusade
 against the cabinet for laxity in
 failing to suppress dandruff.
 Lloyd George, it is understood, thinks the kings badness is bully idea, and has an idea that millions of pictures of the monarch, showing him looking at the bald spot in a double mirror would be great propaganda to get peo- pie to think less harshly toward Eng land.
 Parliament will take up the mat ter soon. There is talk of asking America for loan of s345, ,000, ,00O,- 000.49 for a set of toupees. Meanwhile King Georges only con- solation is derived when he thinks oi | King Constantine. There are cooler heads than the king of Greece, but none 1 so bald.

He scarnpered oyer to another hol- low tree standing near. He scampered up the tree as only Happy Jack can and whisked in at the open doorway of the hollow. Now Happy Jack had been in that hollow tree so often that he didn't once think of looking to see where he was going, and so he landed plump on something that was soft and warm Happy Jack was so sur prised that he didn't know what to do for a second. And then all in flash that something soft and warm was ful of sharp claws and sharper teeth, and an angry growing filled the hol- low tree.
 Happy Jack was so frightened that he scrambled out as fast as he could. When he was safely outside he grew very angry to think that anyone should be in his storehouse, even if is was an old one. He could hear a very angry voice inside and in a moment who should appear at the doorway but Unc' Billy Possuml Unc' Billy had been walked out of a sound sleep and that was enough to make anyone cross Besides he had been badly frightened and that made him crosser still.
 What do you mean by trying to | frighten honest people?" snapped Unc' Billy, when he caught sight of Happy Jack.
 What do you mean by stealing into other folks's houses?" demanded Happy Jack, just as angrily. l (Next Story: Happy Jack Squirrel helps Unc' BiIIy.)

From butter to books, Bob demand ed the best He was man of fine discrimination and judgment. Once I had been flattered because he had chosen me from the many lovely girls he might have asked to marry him. But since he so often had been thrown, by fate or preference, with Katherine Miller. my pride had tumbled.
 Bob liked his own possessions just because they were his own. Therefore he should have preferred his wife to all other women. But I had to face the fact that only in love did my hus- band doubt the wisdom of his choice.
 Surely he was old enough and wise enough to know that the adoration of two women-or more-does not enrich any mans existence. Rather, it de- stroys the unity of his life, disturbs it's harmony, divides the mans energy, and disorganizes his affairs.
 Of course. I couldn't preach that to my husband. By the time he discov- cred the truth from his own experi- cnce. our happiness, which was my whole life, but only a part of his might have vanished as completely as the snows of yesteryear.
 Without touching my husbands face, I followed the outline of the fine pro- file on the pillow with the tip of my finger.
 I loved him-and I needed him.
 Never had Bob failed to be kind when I needed him. but was he not also. just as kind to the tawny- haired tiger woman?
 To be sure I didn't always need Bob. In that I failed and gave hin his opportunity Sometimes felt like his chum and pal more than like the clinging vine-and then-oh, how often-my husband had been hurt. He had slumped into moods and silence. because I asserted my real self. formed my own opinions, let my independenc, rule the hour.
 Bob was often most irritated wher l was gayest and strongest.
 Well. I couldn't make myself over I couldn't weep and depend all of tn, time. and require the support of hi.

Many housekeepers hesitate to buy bacon "by the strip" on account of the difficulty of cutting in thin slices for cooking. If the knife used for sIicins is very sharp and heated as hot as possible home sliced bacon may be as thin as the most expensive bacon on the market.
 1t is such a conveniece to have bacon in the house aside from the economy of buying it in the piece that the simple expedient of the hot knife is we'll worth while.
