Bedtime Stories
By Thornton W. Burgess
More frequently than Uop ico'dd

THINGS are not really ich1t they
seem.
-Unc' Billy Possum.
Unc' Billy Has a Hard Fail

The hunters az tho foot Of the
nine tree in which Unc' Billy Possum
was hiding were excited, quite a.
much excited as the dog who had
driven Unc' Billy up that tree. They
were having "a good time. were those
hunters. They didn't stop to think
that the one they were hunting must
be having a terrible time. They were
sure that il was Bobby Coon who was
ND in that tree, for IL was Bobby they
had come out 90 hunt
They kept flashing a light up M
the tree, but the branches were thick
and not once did they get q glimpse
Of Unc' Billy Possum. Had they
been able 20 sec him, they probably
would have shot him. Finally IL was
decided that one OF them should
climb that tree. Il wasn't hard tree
10 climb. Unc' Billy could hear that
hunter scrambling up and drawing
nearer and nearer. He crept out as
far as he could on branch and clung
there
Now. this is just what that hunter
had expected and 80 as he climbed he
carefully looked over each branch as
he came 20 k. When he reached the
branch on which Unc' Billy was he
saw him az once. But u was dark
and he couldn't sec clearly. lie still
supposed that Unc' Billy was Bobby
Coon.
Here he isl" yelled the hunter
ale isn't very big fellow, so III
shake him of and we'll let the dog
kill him"
SO the hunters down below gath
cred In q circle, with the dog in their
midst, and the hunter in the tree be-
gan 20 shake the branch. Unc' Billy
clung with ell four feet. The hunter
shook harder. Unc' Billy clung more
tightly. Up and down, up and down
went that branch. Unc' Billy had
backed so far out on IL that there
wasn't much TO hold on TO- II was a
terrible situation. In front Of hin
was that hunter in the tree and down
below we're those other hunters and
that dreadful dog. They all seemed
to be enjoying IL. Yes. sir, they did
But Unc' Billy was too frightened e
even think He hadn't the least biz
Of hope.

Senator Phillips said that his opponent was not in favor of re- quiring the power company to pay taxes on it's $43.000,0 900 of wealth in Alabama, and records clause of the state law.

SPOKANE WISHES
 TOBETTER RECORD
Rated as Most Intelligent City in America-Night Schools
 For llIiterateS
By Associated Press

Spokane, Washington. May 7.- Not content with the rating recently given it by the United States census bureau as the most Intelligent" city in the nation, Spokane now proposes to seek out the SGT illiterates found by the census enumerators within it's borders and better it's record.
 The matter has been brought be- fore the educational committee of the Chamber of Commerce., which has promised to give the proposal it's ear ly attention. Meanwhile the public night schools, which have been in operation here for more than ten years. are planning to enlarge their operations to reach as many of tn. foreign born of the city as possible
 With this end in view all of the 200 foreign born students in the night classes, most of them men and women, are being urged to induce their friends to enrall for wark next term, and most of them have promised to bring one additional student.
 During the last ten years, since accurate records of night school at tendance have been kept. a total of 19,153 persons have been enrolled in the night classes. Allowing that each of these has been enrolled on an average during two different terms, Frank H. Arnold supervisor of public evening schools, estimates that one in every ten persons In the citys population of approximately 100000 has attended night school dur ing the decade.
 Of this total, he said, 3,741 foreign born have been enrolled during the last six years. Records as to for eign or native birth were not kept prior to that time,
 Attendance of foreign born citizens at night school classes is obtained by various means. Enrolment dates and courses offered are brought be- fore them through announcements in the newspapers. street car advertise ments. employers of labor, the pub lie day schools and the pulpit sof con- gregations largely including foreign born people.
 As means of making available night school advantages to number of men of Greek birth employed in shoe shining establishments. Supervisor Arnold last fall organized an evening class in elementary English and citizenship in the club room of the local Greek society. This class is held from g to 10:30 p. m., after the close of the regular evening classes, and Is attended, by about thirty men and boys who are unable to leave their jobs early enough to attend the

Ocracoke, N. C., May 7.-A- though this little town about a cen tury and half ago was the rendez- vous of one of the worlds most dar- ing and famous gang of crooks-Ed- ward Teach (Bluebeard) and his bandit is today one community which the recent crime wave has not reached. There has not been an arr rest here in more than 10 years and the crimes of robbery. burglary, theft and murder are absolutely unknown to the population. insofar as they re- fer to Ocracoke.
 John Oneal, after holding office as justice of the peace at Ocracolxe for eight years. resigned a year or more ago, not maving had a criminal case during his administration.

Washington, May GA zealot in the bellhopping profession was a great puzzle to Mrs. John K. Toler delegate from Atlanta to the Wom- ems Overseas league reunion here the past week. Even the expectation of huge tip could not have ex- plained the dog-like devotion with which this particular bellhop fol- lowed her about in the hotel and de- luged her with offers of Ice water and all the other accessories of mod ern hotel life. The mystery was dis pelled, however. on the morning of the first day of the convention when Mrs Toler walked through the lobby with her big blue badge pinned on conspicuously. The bellboy came dashing up as per usual and ex- claimed somewhat diffidently:
 You are an overseas lady, aren't you?" pointing somewhat trium- phantly to her badge, worn for the
