Bedtime Stories
Why the Hunter Got No Ducks
By Thornton W. Burgess
The hunter may be out Of luck,
Bat think moment of the Duck.
Farmer Browns Boy.

The hunter, who had come down
the Biz. River in a boat and landed
near the place where Dusky the Black
Duck and his flock had found nice
yellow corn scattered in the rushes
night after night, saw Blacky the
Grow leave the top of certain tree
as he approached.
''It is we'll for you that you didn't
wait for me to get nearer" said the
hunter. "You are smart enough to
know that you can't play the same
trick on me twice. You frightened
those Ducks away last night, but if
you try it again you'll be shot as
sure as your coat is black"
Then the hunter went to his blind,
which, you know, was the hiding
rushes, and behind this he sat down
with his terrible gun to wait and
watch for Dusky the Black Duck and
his flock.
Now you remember that further
along the shore of the Big River was
Farmer Browns Boy hiding in a
blind he had made that afternoon.
The hunter couldn't see him at all.
He didn't have the least idea that
any one else was anywhere near.
With that Crow out of the way
think | will get some Ducks tonight"
thought the hunter, and looked at his
gun to make sure that it was all
ready.
Over in the west jolly, round, red
Mr.. Sun started to go to bed behind
the Purple Hills, and the Black
Shadows came creeping out, Far
down the Big River the hunter saw
a swiftly moving black line just
above the water. Here they come" {"
be mnttered, as he eagerly watched
that black line draw nearer.
Twice those big black birds circled
around over the Big River opposite
where the hunter was crouching behind
his blind. 1t was plain that Dusky, their
leader, remembered Blacky the Crows S
warning the night before. But this
time there was no warning. Every
thing appeared safe. Once more the
flock circled and then headed straight
for that place where they hoped to
find more corn. The hunter crouched
lower. They were almost near enough
for him to shoot when Bang, bang!"
went gun a short distance away.
Instantly Dusky and his flock
turned and on swift wings swung off
and up the river. If ever there was
q disappointed hunter it was the one
crouching in that blind. Somebody
else is hunting and he spoiled my
shot that time" he muttered. "He
must have blind further down. Prob
ably some other Ducks I didn't see

Budget Defeat
Laid to Miller
By City Club
proposed Constitutional
Amendments Sponsored
by Hughes To Be Pressed
at Next State Session
Committee Still Confident
Trustees Tell of Progress
Made in the Grouping
of Administrative Offices

Responsibility fer the defeat Of the
sroposcd constitutional amendment
for state reorganization and the ex-
ssutive budget at the last session of
The Legislature was placed on the
shoulders OF Governor Miller by the
hoard OF trustees of the City Club at
The organizations annual meeting last
night.
These reforms, which were agitated d
chiefly by committee headed by
Charles T. Hughes. Secretary OF State,
will be pressed for passage at the
coming session of the Legislature,
however, and the City Club has not
lost heart at the thought that the de-
tes. of the proposals by the last ses-
sion will mean the mmencement OF
its labors all over, as proposed
amendment to the states organic law
must be passed by two successive
legislatures before it may be sub
mitted 20 the people.
Proposed Reforms Supported
Concerning the proposed reforms in
ths framework of the state govern
ment and the budget. the board OF trus-
tees said: Continued support was
given to the proposed constitutional
amendments for state reorganization
developed during the previous year
With the whole-hearted and active help
Of Charles (. Hughes as chairman of
the clubs committee on state retrench-
ment and reorganization. While no
progress had been made toward giving
the Governor a four-year term or to-
ward establishment of an executive
tndget, measures providing for a sys-
:ematic consolidation Of administrative
functions, for making the State Engi-
neer and the State Treasurer appoint
i've, and for limiting the powers of
the Comptroller, had been actually
passed by the preceding Legislature,
largely through City Club efforts. 1t
vas necessary, however, that they be
passed again before going to the
y0ters.
Lack of Interest Shown
"While these amendments were
again approved by the Senate, they
were held up in the Assembly Commit
tee on Rules, and it was not possibl
to secure the necessary vote for the
discharge Of that committee. The root
OF the difficulty was that Governor Mil
Ter expressed lack of interest in com
prehensive changes based upon con-
ssltutional amendment and preferred
90 center attention upon such limited
consultations as could be effected by
statute. The legislative leaders took
their cue from the chief executive and
sacrificed the great progress with the
more fundamental program which al
ready had been made.
The club has not been shaken in its
belief in the scundness and urgency
Of the constitutional amendments sup
ported by so many Of the leading men
Of bolts parties. Realization OF this
program has been the aim of the press
The support made no noticeable i'm
preston, however, upon the responsi-
bic leaders at Albany. 1t can only be
hoped that some Of the suggestions
may be availed of in the future
The club also announced it's inten-
ton to continue its efforts in aid of a
liberalized code OF procedure in both
branches Of the state Legislature.

Monsieur lie Chen

The winter season begins and
it is time for Monsieur LIE CHEN
to be thinking of his new ward
robe.
The Dog Furnishing Shop is.
without doubt, the first place
for him to come when he gets
back to town.
Here smartness and utility
are combined, and whatever his
ancestry, we have collar or
harness for his special type.
Perhaps he is young Aire-
dale with the pulling power of
harbor tug, who requires a
specially strong leash. Or a
dignified and altogether super
cilious Chow-then he needs
round harness with no sharp
edges to mar his beautiful coat.
We take special pains to see
that they fit correctly.
A nice selection of sweaters
and blankets-all new models
is we'll worth looking at, if
he be more delicately bred, and
complete line of the best
medicines, if he is not quite
we'll.

Maternity Bill Goes 70 Harding

WASHINGTON, Nov. c1.-The SEN

New-York tribune., 1921-11-22


purchased for US in Paris
by an art collector whose
judgment, wide experiences
and fine feeling for works
of art have never failed in
making wise selections
show a power of line, a
depth and strength of color
ing which, in oils, would be
remarkable.
In water-color they are
prodigious.
A giant, a Hercules, ac-
quainted with the elements
fire, water, clouds, mists,
mountain-tops, must have
painted them, you think
no mere man.
JEAN ERNEST sIGIs-
MOND, painting under the
shortened name of Jeanes-
has come to fame since 1907
or 1908, and is now one of
the most highly praised and
widely-sought contemporary
French artists working in
this medium.
He was born in Lorraine,
but spent his early, forma-
tive years in Italy, where he
absorbed much of the prirni-
tive strength, sweep and
vigor of the great early Ital-
ian masters Of mural paint
ing.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-22
Where a Man or Woman
Should Be at Their Best

is at their homes with their own
5 families.
Possibly business people are
sometimes unconscious of the dis
guises they put on in meeting each
ether, conducting negotiations,
measuring their words. assuming
innocent manners, restraining their
intentions, and guarding carefully
with much humility answers to
questions which would betray their
plans.
1t still seems hard to eradicate
old practices.
But at home, with wife and chill
dren, let nothing of rnasquerading
come thither. The woman's sweet
ness, best dressing, most gracious
speeches, and the mans most un-
selfish, most courtly and finest
traits of character should come
home with them always and all
ways.

as mahogany.
There are lovely high-post

GOT THE WRONG
ASSAILANTS

Smacked so hard and so often by two
assailants that he failed to recognize
them before he took the count. Joe
Machewicz of Kenslngton, made a fliv-
yer OF his case last night when he had
two West Hammond boys arrested on
charges of assault and battery.
The assault was supposed to have
taken place Sunday evening in West
Hammond. Joe and his cousin Felix,
were walking along about fifty feet
apart when two men attacked Joe.
Joe slipped off into sunderland with
out getting one good look at the men
who did it. Felix reached the scene
too late to take a hand. He claimed
TO have recognized Paul Dombrowski
and Stanley Sczypczak.
However. on the witness stand in
Judge Kowalskis court. Felix admit
ted that he didn't see a blow struck.
He heard the racket and saw his cous-
in fall. He also recognized the men
but he couldn't swear that they had
caused the downfall of Joe. So there
the case ended and Judge Kowalski
dismissed the defendants. Attorney
E. G. Sproat conducted the prosecution
and Martin Finneran was attorney for
the defendants.
