Little Stories For Bedtime
sY THORNTON W. BURGESS
PLACE

A queerer place to build home
You'll never see though far you roam.
Look high and low and all around
You'll never find it I'll be bound.
When little sIite Beadow Mouse
ran for his life from Redtail the
Hawk through the rows of young
corn in Farmer Browns cornfield he
didn't have the least idea where he
was going. His one thought was to
get away from those dreadful claws
stretched out to clutch him So he
lodged and ran and ran and lodged.
Now it just happened that he ran
in the one direction in which he could
find safety and that was straight to-
ward the scarecrow Farmer Browns
boy had set up in the middle of the
cornfield to scare away Blaeky the
Crow and his relatives 1t looked very
much like a man, very much indeed.
1t was this that frightened away
Redtail and saved Little Mite. You
see, the Redtail wasn't sure that it
was a man he wasn't sure that it
wasn't a man. and having learned
long ago that the most foolish thing
any one can do is to run a needless
risk, he decided not to so too near.
Arizona republican., 1922-06-01

And so it was that Little Mite was
saved by the scarecrow.
But he didn't know this. He didn't
know anything about the scarecrow.
All he knew was that Redtail had
stopped chasing him. for which he
was very thankful But he kept on
running just the same, hoping that
he would come 10 a sare hiding place.
And so at last he came to the scare
crow. Now Little Mite saw nothing
in that TO be afraid of. You see, he
had been out in the Great World so
short a time that he had never seen
a man, and so he wasn't at all afraid
of the scarecrow because it looked
like a man. 1t didn't move so right
away he made UP his mind that 1t
was nothing to fear. He was very
very anxious to get something out
of sight, and the opening to one OF
the pants legs looked like a good
place He hesitated just moment
and then up he scrambled.
Presently he came to a mass OF
hay and straw. 1t was the body OF
the scarecrow Then Little Mite was
sure this was a safe place. You see
he knew all, about hay and straw, and
as he burrowed his way in he felt
quite at home and for the first time
since he had run away from home he
felt quite safe. He was very tired
after his long run from Redtail the
Hawk. and so the first thing he did
was to make a place big enough to
curl up in comfort Then he went
to sleep. and for once he had no bad
dreams.
When he awoke he couldn't think
where he was at first Then he re-
membered 1t was dark and cosy and
comfortable in there, and he decided
that il was very good place TO stay
if he could find enough to eat with
out going too far away He felt quite
sure that he would be safe there, and
perhaps if he stayed there his father
and mother might. just might, happen
along that way some day, and then
| he could go back home. First he
would find out all about his new hid
| ing place. So he burrowed his way
up through the hay and straw until
| he came to queer Substance such
| as he had never seen before. 1t was
| made Of threads very close together
| He tried gnawing this queer sub
stance, but the threads caught in his
| teeth and he gave that up. OF course
| you know what il was. 1t was the
| coat which Farmer Browns boy had
| fastened around the bundle of hay
1
and straw to make it look like man
Little Mite had perfectly glorious
time exploring. He climbed all over
/ and through that scarecrow. He even
| climbed up to the battered old hat that
was on the very top. And the more
he explored the better he liked 1t. He
| found a lot of seeds still ciinging te
the hay with which the scarcrow was
stuffed and this meant food for q
little while without running bit OF
| risk. But what pleased him mos
was a pocket in the old coat Was
there ever a better place for a nest
He ran in and out of that pocke1
ever so many times and at last he
made up his mind that there wa;
where he was going to live. SO M
began to carry the softest bits o.
hay he could find into the pocke'
to make a bed. Then he made :

Her Temporary Husband.

An especial privilege is afforded
the theatre patrons of this city on
this Thursday in the presentation of
the much heralded comedy, "Her
Temporary Husband This play
has met success in it's engagements in
New York and Chicago, and COM
panies especially selected have been
placed on tour. The story of the
play centers around a wealthy young
New Yorker who is, desperately in
love with fair young heiress, who
it happens knows nothing of his ex-
istence. The heiress unfortunately
loves another, but the terms of her
father will interfere with the whims
of her heart, and she is forced to
seek a temporary husband, one guar
anteed not to live over three months,
in order to secure her fortune and
be free to marry the man she thinks
she loves. Many unusual and anus
ing complications arise; the temper
airy husband refuses to die and in
the end the fortune-hunting lover is
completely ousted. 1t plays the Mu-
nicipal theatre.

!, 900 KILLED BY
QUAKE IN CHILE
Thousands in Distress; Wave
Wipes Out Towns.
SHIPS TOSSED LIKE CHIPS
TrembIor Rolls Over Land Carrying
Houses Out to Sea-Ocean Recedes
800 Yards Beyond the Low
Tide Line.

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 13.-More than
1000 persons are known to have per-
ished in the earthquake that rocked
Chile Saturday morning, and the list
Of casualties is growing hourly as
communications are being re-eStaD-
lished.
The tremor caused a tidal wave,
which rolled in over the land and
carried houses out to sea, drowning
more than hundred in CoquimbO
alone. The ocean receded 300 yards
beyond the low tide line as if sucked
back by some tremendous. earthquake
disturbance on the. ocean floor, and
then a great wave advanced upon the
land flooding the seapOrts and kill
ing hundreds.
One Town Destroyed.
At Chanaral many were killed by
falling houses. Twenty-four bodies
have been recovered at Coquimbo.
Vallenar was virtually destroyed; it
is reported that 500 were killed there,
which would greatly swell the list OF
casualties if the loss of life is as
great as reported. 1t seems certain
that severe damage also was done to
the south, in other towns and villages
around Copiapo, from which no news
is available yet.
Wave $50 Feet High.
Thousands Of refugees are in dis
tress, needing food and shelter.
The wave extended seven miles,
from Coquimbo to La Serena. 1t was
$50 feet high, and completely destroyed
the BaquedanO qurater of Coqulmbo.
The entire waterfront was torn out,
and a number of big lighters were
picked up like chips and carried be-
yond the railway bridge, nearly half
a mile from the low tide mark. The
sea receded twice, and advanced uEOn
the land both times, carrying every
thing before it.

CONGRESS TO PASS BONUS

Washington, NOV. 11.-Soldiers' DO.
nus proponents, canvassing their
strength after the results of Tues!
days election, appear to have ample
votes in the next congress not only
to- repass the bill but to override
President Harding's objection should
he again exercise the executive veto

cause the senate, by the narrowest Of
margins, failed to muster the two
thirds vote necessary to pass. it over
the Presidents veto after the house
had voted it's approval by s. to l.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1922-11-16

1t already is apparent that the ex-
traordinary unSettling of party lines
in congress is destined to exert a pro.
found influence upon the political his
tory of the next two years. Among
the effects fOreseen are the breaking
of numerous presidential bOoms in
both parties, and among the possibilj-
complete power in the presidential
and congressional election IN 1924.
With Republican control of the ma
tional legislature rendered unstable, it
is a certainty that President Harding,
if he can avoid it, will not summon in
extraordinary session the Sixty-eighth
congress, which otherwise will not con-
,vene until December. 1928
The casualty list of the election of
senators, according TO the latest re-
turns. shows a loss of ten seats by
the Republicans and, a loss of two
seats by the Democrats.
The Republican losses were occa-
stoned by the defeat of Senators Du
lPont in Delaware, France in Mary
land, Townsend in Michigan, kellogg
in Minnesota, Frelinghuysen in New
Jersey, Calder in New York, Poindex-
ter in Washington and Sutherland in
West Virginia, and of Albert J. Bev-
eridge in Indiana and Lynn j. Frazier
in North Dakota.
"Wet" Sentiment Held Cause.
A tremendous expression of wet sen.
timent in many states was one of the
primary causes for the Democratic
sweep, in the opinion of high admins
tration officials and directing heads of
the Republican national committee.
But the wet victory was moi sufficient
to upset dry control Of congress. Wet
leaders concede that despite wet gains
the drys will have All ample ma jority
In both houses next congress ON any
prohibition issue.
The only registration OF the COM
p}ete surprise of the election vouch-
Safed by the politicians is that the
people had made W their minds long
ago as TO how they would vote and
the apathy With which they viewed the
campaign merely resulted from thei.
predetermination 10 vote the Demo
cratic ticket no matter what the argu-
mentS were.
Senator Hale of Maine, alone of all
the President circle, was able to pull
. through. he having been elected in
September.
About the only balm the Republicans
could get out of the election was that
they defeated two of the strongest
Democrats in the state and nation ir
Pomerene of Ohio and Hitchcock Of
Nebraska.
