Bedtime Stories
The Watchmans Alarm
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Taete friendships based upon the
plan
OF helping neighbors aohen you can.
Paddy the Beaver.


Gentle Mistress Moon, flooding the
pond Of Paddy the Beaver with sill
very light, looked down on as peace
full scene as was to be seen any
where in all the Great World. There
was no sound. 1t was so still that
the rustic of a single dry leaf would
have seemed loud noise. Blacker
spots appeared among the Black
Shadows, HonSer the Goose and his
flock slept little way from the shore
where no enemy could reach them. They
were very tired, for they had flown
many, many miles the day before.
They NEEDED to. rest, for they still
had hundreds of miles to fly to reach
the place in the Sunny South where
they would spend the winter.
Gould you have been there YOU
would never have guessed that there
we're any living things about save
the trees, for it is doubtful if you
would have seen those Geese in the
Black Shadows. But if you couldn't
have seen them there were other
eyes that could and did, for things
were not at all as they seemed. At
different places along the shore,
eager, hungry eyes were fixed on
those big sleeping birds-the eyes
of Yowler the Bob Cat and Of Old
lox and of old Granny Fox. And
back little way was big Buster
Bear listening instead of watching.
And there was another who was
watching and listening, only this one
was out in the water. 1t was Paddy
the Beaver. And Paddy knew that
peaceful as that scene seemed dread
full things might happen there, for
his nose had told him where each of
those hungry watchers was. So Paddy
was keeping watch, for he did not
dare 60 ashore to work as he wanted
to.
Geese and warn them," thought
Paddy. "But if waken them they
probably will worry and lose sleep
and l guess they need ali the sleep
they can get. AS long as they keep
away from the shore they will be
safe enough. I'll just keep watch.
1t will be time enough to give them
warning when there is any real dan
ger"
So Paddy crept up on tho roof of
his house and sat there in the black
est of Black Shadows. He could see
the sleeping Geese, for they were very
near Paddy's house, and he could
just make out the shore. For long,
moving. But all the time he was
using his ears and his nose as we'll
as his eyes. His eyes told him moth
ing, for no one excepting the Geese
was to be seen. His ears told him
nothing, for there was not so much
as the rustic OF leaf. But now
and then his nose caught just the
New-York tribune., 1921-12-06

faintest of smells from the shore,
end he knew that Yowler and Old
Man Coyote and the Foxes were pa
tiently Watching
BY and by some wandering Little
Night Breczes happened along and
made tiny ripples, silvery little
rpples, on the water. These little
ripplcs ran toward the shore and
after while Paddy noticed that
couple of those sleeping Geese, the
two that were furthest away from
his house, were slowly but surely
drifting toward shore. The silvery
little ripples were gently pushing
them that way.
Some one else saw this. too. It
was Yowler the Bob Cat crouching
on the shore right opposite those
two big birds. His funny stub of
tail began to witch. His eyes grew
more fierce than ever. Once or tvico
he licked his lips.
Without making sound Paddy
slipped into the water, dived and
finally popped his head out Of the
water close to those two drifting
Geese. But he took care to keep in
the blacklist Of the Black Shadows.
Geese drifted in toward the shore.
Paddy watched. A little more would
bring them into shallow water,
Paddy knew Yowler we'll enough to
be sure that even though he did
hate wet feet he wouldn't hesitate
to spring just as soon as one of those
Geese would be within jumping dis
tance.
"Slap!" Paddy's tail came down
on the water with a report like
terrible gun. In an instant all those
Geese were wide awake and swim
ming toward the middle of the pond.
There was "a splash in the shallow
water just behind two of those
frightened Geese, and then a screech
Of rage. Yowler had been just too
late.

AMERICA.

It is not to be expected that the recent indictment OF the
governor and lieutenant governor OF Illinois for alleged
illegal acts while acting as state treasurer should escape
widespread discussion throughout the United States.
Time and a Jury will determine their guilt or imosence
but their Indictment serves to bring forclbly TO the publlc
mind the fact that we Americans are entirely too com
nlaisant for our individual and collective good.
The average voter has too little to say IN the selection
Of candidates who are to make the race for pubic Office
Our self-appointed political leaders very considerably do
tba Selecting for us by secretly choking off those who are
not acceptable to them, while the rest OF us perform our
"sacred duty as sovereign citizens" by toddlng up to the
polls and voting for them like good little fellows.

mast to determine whether or not he IS a suitable man Tor
an office of public trust.

what wa need in this country is more independence and

them to be defeated for the NOMINATION. Oh ~ Vhe pohS'

ELMoRE's SUMMER PLAYGROUND.

Within eight hours of Mountain Home one can reach
the high peaks of the Sawtooth range, where s%prngtime
reigns throughout the summer. When the heat becomes
unbearable down here in the s~agebrush desert one can
within a few miles reach the foothills and GOODNESS. 1t is
a wonder that more people don't go camping during the
summer. Two hours by car will land you at Feathervile
and some of the most beautiful camping spots in the west.
Another five hours horseback will land you at Rainbow or
Trinity lake, just below the line of perpetual snow and in
the midst of big trout. A short distance from Trinity is
the Roaring River lake and a dozen others within a few
miles. There are trout in all of them, a dozen varieties OF
them from the little speckled ones to the largest varieties.
If the mountain country in Elmore county were as
widely advertised as the Yellowstone or the camping
places of Colorado we would have 10000 visitors passing
through Mountain Home every summer to enjoy wonders.

SAVE THE COUNTY's MONEY.

Gilmore county taxes must come down.
Economies must start, not in the village, the school dis
trict or the highway district, but in the work of the coun-
ty commissioners.
After they have shown a commendable spirit OF econ
omy, then the taxpayers can take up the question OF re-
ducing other taxes, but the county should have first at
tention. The commissioners have made certain economies
and reductions Of costs, but if these economies are to be
offset with i'll advised expenditures the taxpayers have a
legitimate kick coming.
The thing we are thinking of is the coal house recently
remodeled on the southeast corner of the courthouse lots
1t was originally a shack put up to house a tractor. 1t
was rebuilt this summer at a cost, as closely as we can
figure from the published list of bills allowed, OF S3lI' and
it is still located $50 feet from the furnace when there is
room in the basement for a car of coal. 1t looks to us like
poor business to build, or rebuild such a coal house in a
place where the janitor will have to spend hours moving
coal to his furnace, when there is plenty of storage room
in the building.
