Reddy and Old Man Coyote Divide
Thinner
Half enough is better than
None at all for Fox or man.


Half enough is better than
None at all for Fox or man.
-Reddy Fox.
Reddy Fox was scared! Yes, sir,
Reddy was scared He wished now
that he hadn't waited to see the dis
appointment of Old Man Coyote
when he discovered the empty pan
in Farmer Browns barnyard. Red
dy had himself been so disappointed
the night before when he had discov-
cred the empty pan and his nose
told him that it had been emptied
by Old Man Coyote, that he wanted
to see Old Man Coyote equally. dis
appointed With all his cleverness
he hadn't thought that Old Man
Coyote might pick up his tran ana
try to catch him.
But this is just what Old Man Coy
ote had done, and now Reddy was
running as only a badly scared Fox
can run. A fight with Old Man
Coyote was the last thing in the
world that Reddy wanted.
''It Is of no use for me to try to
play tricks on that fellow the way l
do on Bowser the Hound" thought
Reddy. HE is altogether too smart
to be fooled by tricks. I've got to
trust to my legs to get me to my
home before he can catch me-"
So Reddy made straight for his
home by the shortest way, He was
none too soon getting there. Hardly
was he inside when Old Man Coyote
came painting up to the entrance
He was in a great rage. He accused
Reddy of having stolen his dinner.
He told Reddy of the dreadful things
f he would do to him the first chance
| he got Finally he went away, grum-
bling and growing and still making
dSeadful threats.
All that day Reddy remained III
his house. He slept a good part of
the day. When he wasn't sleeping
/ he was making plans to visit Farmer
Browns barnyard again. in the hope
of finding another good meal there

night" said Reddy to himself. III

You see, Reddy felt very sure there
would be food put out.

Reddy had eaten just about hall

the barn. He didn't wait to get an.
other mouthfuI. He darted away
without even looking behind him,
But Old Man Coyote also saw that
there was still food in that pan. He
merely growled in Reddy's direction
and kept on straight to that pan.
He gobbled up his half of the dinner
even faster than Reddy had eaten
his. He stopped to polish the pan
with his tongue. Byt the time he
was through Reddy was half way
home. So Reddy and Old Man Coy,
ote divided a dinner. Neither had
enough, but half dinner was better
than none.

interesting, smiling people who are
| gayly chatting together are the un-
wed, or those who are talking to
other peoples husbands and wives.
Let even a bore drop into a,
| droopy, detected family circle that
has been yawning itself to death
| and everybody brightens up and the
stream of conversation which had
apparently dried up at it's source g.
gins to flow again. Two may be COM
pany and three a crowd before mar
riage, but generally after marriage
two is gobs of silence and three a
| Godsend.
Yet the majority of people marry
| for companionship Before marriage
| they could never get enough of each
others society, and they esteemed
each other perfect spellbinders. How
is it, then, that they get so fed up
on each others company that they
sit UP like mutes in the solitude of
| their homes?
Why is it that, apart from fault
! finding and spats and complaints
about the servants and the trades
men and bulletins about the chill
| dren, there is so little family con.
versation; practically none that is in
| teresting and cheerful and inSpir-
| ing? You would think that a hus-
/ band and wife who have all interests
| in common could never talk them
selves out. But. they do, and they
| come to the place where they take
| refuge behind the evening paper or
| in solitaire to save themselves from
| the pretense of even having to main
| tain the appearance of keeping up
social intercourse.
| Wives lay the blame for this state
| Of affairs on their husbands. They
say, heaven knows, that they would
be glad enough to talk, but that you
can't maintain a conversation with
| a person who always grunts by way
Of reply, and who could give a clam
on ice points on silence and then
beat it at the game. Men retort
that they have worn their converse
tional powers to a fragile during
business hours, and they desire tc
rest their vocal cords at home
| Nevertheless, it is observable that il
somebody interesting happens to call
or they go out to dinner, the very
man who was silent at home finds
plenty to say.
Now there are several reasons why
there is so little conversation in the
| home. The first reason is because
home talk is so often unpleasant
Women, especially, are prone tc
flavor it with gloom. They like t.
recite the litany Of the days mis-
chances. They spoil the flavor Of E
dinner by telling how much it cost
They bring on a scene with a chilC
by telling of it's naughtiness. They
thrash over their old grievances be
cause they can't have what riche1
women have.

most of all, clean them of all un-

be able to meet this lovely season
with a happy spirit.
The next thing is to see just how
considerate you can be of mother
and father who have heavy duties
