Little Stories For Bedtime
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
CHATTERER SCREWS UP
HIS COURAGE,

Ever since Sammy Jay had drop
ped a hint about the plentiful supply
of corn over at Farmer Borwn's, and
how easy it was to get all that one
wanted, Chatterer had been trying to
screw up his courage TO go see for
himself if Sammy had told the truth.
Chatterer had spent most of his life
in or close to the Green Forest. He
had a very wholesome fear of Farmer
Browns boy and his dreadful gun.
and he always had been content to
dooryard The truth is he was afraid
to go up there. You see, there were
Black Pussy the Cat and Bowser the
Hound and Farmer Browns boy; why
it was terribly dangerous place.
And yet Sammy Jay went up there
every day and didn't seem to be in
the least afraid. He even scolded and
said impudent things to Farmer
Browns boy. If Sammy dared go up
there why shouldn't he? He certainly
was as brave as Sammy jay! Right
down in his heart Chatterer had al
ways thought Sammy Jay very much
of a coward. Yet here was Sammy
going up there and helping himself
to corn just as If it belonged to him.
Chatterer thought of how hard he
worked every day to fill that, store
house in the hollow fence rail. and of
to watch out for RedtaiI the Hawk
and Reddy Fox 1t seemed as if he
never, never could get enough corn
to keep him all winter. And then it
was lony way to go every day, way
from the Old Orchard down 10 the
cornfield. Chatterer sighed at the
| thought.
If Sammy Jay told me the truth
and it is SO easy to get all the corn
Browns it will be ever so much
easier in bad weather than going way
down to my stQrehouse," thought
Chatterer. Anyway. it won't do any
harm to have look and see for my
self how things are
So Chatterer started running brisk
lv along the old stone wall which led
right up to Farmer Browns yard. AS
he drew near he would stop every
few steps to make sure that the way
was clear. At last he reached the
very end of the wall, and hiding be-
hind two stones he peeked out. Right
across wide road was Farmer
Browns house, and in the sun on the
back doorstep sat Black Pussy doz-
| ing. Chatterer had hard work to hold
his tongue. The very sight of her
made him so angry that he almost
forgot that he didn't want to be seen.
lie just lOnSed 10 ten her what ne
thought of her. But he kept still and
set his sharp little eyes to discover
| where Farmer Brown kept his corn.
He could see Bowser the Hound fast
asleep in front of his own special lit
tie house. He could see the big barn
and the henhouse and the shed where
| the wagons were kept, and the long
woodshed.
| II wonder said Chaterer to him
self; Il wonder if that corn is kept

wanted to scold just as he had wanted

1t used to be the custom to con-
slider jealousy as pure selfishness
which could be overcome if the in
dividual willed it so. But according
to the ideas of modern students of
human behavior, jealousy cannot be
so easily slain.
Often it is a symptom Of neuro-
sis, a certain kind of nervous dis
ease A marriage with a neurotic,
even If he were a genius, is always
likely to prove disappointing.
Obstinate and persistent jealousy
may be due to mental impressions
received in childhood, for which the
adult tyrant is not responsible.
This knowledge doesn't help to
make a suffering wife especially pa
tient with a tyrant husband. but 1t
does explain why the condition of OBJ
stinate ugliness obsesses the husr
| band.
Perhaps the man can be educated
| out of this emotionalism. but his
case is for the physician rather than
the wife.

straight over to queer little build

with wide cracks between the boards
of the walls through which something
yellow showed. Farmer Browns boy
went UP several steps and opened a
door. Chatterer gave a little gasp.
There was the corn, more corn than
he ever had seen in all his life, more
corn than he had supposed the whole
world held! Chatterer made up his
mind right then and there that he
was going to have some of that corn
in spite of Black Pussy and Bowser

The very sight of it screwed his

thousands of men and women.
1t is now recognized that Cathartics never re-
move the causes of constipation. Indeed, one
physician states that the indiscrininate use of
cathartics is probably one of the most frequent
causes of constipation.

for some simple food that would help restore
normal conditions. And now scientists have dis
covered it in the familiar little cake of Fleisch

The deeper and sounder you sleep the better
