Bedtime Stories
Seeing Is Believing
BY Thornton W. Burgess
IN this most people 1Oill agree:
tbs hard to doubt the thing you
see.
Farmer Browns Bow.

Seeing is believing. Everybody
knows this. Farmer Browns Bow had
believed the story Of the tracks
which had told him that Lightfoot
the Deer had eaten a trout, but it
was such hard thing to believe that
ne meant to see the thing done with
his own eyes. He knew then that
those to whom he told the story
would have to believe it. SO he had
hung another trout on the very tree
from which the first one had been
stolen and had hidden where he could
watch all that might happen.
When at last Lightfoot appeared
Farmer Browns Boy hadn't the least
doubt that Lightfoot would promptly
go over and help himself to that
trout; But Lightfoot did nothing of
the KIND. At least, he didn't do it
promptly. Perhaps his conscience
troubled him. Perhaps he felt that
ne had no right to that trout, though
suspect that he didn't have any
soch feelings at all. Anyway, for a
long time he simply wandered about
uneasily,
But gradually he drew nearer and
nearer to that tee on which hung the
- oue' az fdSt he stood lust under
that trout. He looked this way: he
looked that way; he looked every way.
he moved his big ears back and forth
to catch every sound. Then, as if sat
Ished that no one was about. he
reached up and began to eat that
trout, tail first. He ate all but fhe
head. That was fastened to the tree
and he couldn't get it off. Then he
smiled about everywhere, as if trv-
ing to discover if there were anv
more fish. Finding none, he turned
and walked off into the woods.
All this Farmer Browns Bow sow
he knew now that he had read Alright
The story of the tracks the dav he
Lore. He had proved that sometimes
a Deer will eat fish. He waited until
Llghtfoot had disappeared. Then he
started for home.
But though Farmer Browns Row

course, he could not do otherwise,b
was still puzzled. How had Light.

The Attorney General is under.
