Little Stories For Bedtime
A Broken Nap
By THORNTON BURGEss)


I'd ULSTER BEAR is a queer fellow
II and a very independent fellow. For
the most part he does what ne
nleases when he pleases. You see he
is so big and strong that he fears no
one save men, and when there as no
men about there is nothing to prevent
him doing exactly as he pleases in the
Green Forest. So he eats when ne feels
hungry and he sleeps when he feels
sleepy, and it doesn't make the least
bit of difference to him whether it is
day light or dark, for Buster is like
Reddy Fox and Billy Mink and Peter
Rabbit and lot of others who can see
at night, or when jolly round, bright
Mr.. Sun is smiling down from high up
in the blue, blue sky.
On this particular afternoon Buster
Bear had chosen to take nap. He had
been up all the night before and he ex-
pected to be up all of the coming night,
so he had chosen to sleep during the
day. Now Busters bed was in the mid
die of a great windfall, which you know
is q pile of trees blown down by the
wind. 1t was deep in the Green Forest
where few ever came and Buster mad
made very comfortable bed of leaves
there. 1t was just the kind OF place
to sleep in undisturbed. So Buster had
spent most of the day there sleeping IN
solid comfort.
Late that afternoon he began to
dream. He dreamed that he was being
hunted by men with terrible guns and
that he was running for his life. The
worst of it was those hunters were fol
lowing him by means of dogs. he
wasn't afraid of dogs themselves, but ne
was afraid of the hunters, and he knew
that the dogs would lead them straight
to him, so instead of standing to f1gh,
the dogs he was running with all his
might. He could hear the voices of thu
dogs drawing nearer and nearer. and ~
was Just trying to make up his mine
whether or not to climb a tree to ge

~Raggedy Ann took her hand out OF

We Women
A Year And A Dollar


A WEST VIRGINIA Judge has re-
a Gently sentenced girl to year
in Jail for killing her lover. As II
that were not enough the poor girl has,
in addition, been fined one dollar.
The account of the proceedings is
meoper. The motive of the crime was
said to be jealousy and the jury's YER
dict was involuntary manslaugnter.
We are informed that the girl shot
and killed her certain young man when
he was talking to another girl. What
he had been doing besides talking to
another girl, we are not told The fact
that he was talking to another girl
seems to be considered sufficient reason
for killing him.
1t is difficult to understand why the
killing was involuntary" Certainly
the girl shot at her beau and she mi
him. Perhaps we are to infer she nae
not meant to kill him, but merely wins
him in order to teach him to behave OF
nip him in the ankle to prevent hin
from taking the other girl to dance
From all circumstances it would ap
pear that the young man is happier
dead than married to young lady o.

moss-oyer-grown log, "but first you

agry growl terrible to hear. 1t was at
the sound Of this that Reddy Fox real
lied that he had come to the wrong
place, and he forgot that he was almost
too tired to run another step. 1t was
right then that he slipped out of that
windfall, running as if he had suddenly
recovered all his strength. And it was
right then that Bowser the Hound put
his tail between his legs, and with the
hair along his back standing straight up
with fear, turned and ran the way he
had come, yelping as if he expected
something terrible to happen at every
jump. In fact, he did. He expected to
feel the terrible claws of Buster Bear.
With a still deeper growl Buster
jumped out where it was clear and he
could see better. Then he began to grin
and finally to chuckle. Having got
over his own fright he was tickled to
see the fright of Reddy Fox and still
more to see the way Bowser the Hound
was running as if he expected every
jump to be his last one.
II guess, said Buster Bear slowly
"that they won't bother me again very
soon" And Buster guessed just right

ROAT OF STONE AGE

Believed to be relic Of the stone age,
boat, which experts say is at least
5000 years old, has been found In a
marsh in England. 1t lay seven feet be,

wide. Apparently it had been followed
from an oak tree by the crude impie,

from 1900 to 1000 years before Christ,
when, according to scientists, bronze
began to take the place of stone. In

when the magical boat had left the place
and was sailing far away down the
path Raggedy Ann laughed and said.

all had a very good laugh.

THE DAYS TEST

Begin the morning by saying to thy
self / shall meet this day with the busy
body, the ungrateful the arrogant, de-
ceitful, envious, unsocial. All these
things happen to them by reason OF
their ignorance of what is good and evil.
But who have seen the nature Of the
good that is beautiful, and of the bad
that is ugly, can neither be injured by
any of them--for ITO one can fix on me
what is ugly-nor can l be angry with
my neighbor, nor hate him. We arc
made for cooperation; to act against
one another, that is contrary to nature,
and it is acting against one another to
be vexed and turn away.-Marcus, Au'

ADVICE GIVEN
SPljD growers

AS a result of the wet weather
of the past summer, many of the
potatoes this fall do not have good
keeping qualities. Those grown
on sandy land and on top of a
bluff seem to be superior to those
grown on low land
Three or four weeks ago N. H.
Smith stored some in his warehouse
in Baraboo and since then the
spuds have had to be sorted sew
eral times at considerable loss. AS
a result of this situation, the pro-
duce shippers refuse to buy. Most
Of the growers have found it adj
visabIe to keep the potatoes in the
field and cover them with straw and
earth. After they go through 81
sweat" the defective potatoes can
easily he thrown out.
Rs E. Vaughn, potato disease
specialist, Wisconsin college of az
riculture, says:
pile the potatoes that have signs
of brown rot in shallow layers and
allow free circulation of dry air.
This will prevent the soft rot from
taking possession of the tubers."
Vaughn has just returned from a
trip into the potato fields of one
section of the state and found the
brown rot in every field that he
visited. He is also receiving re-
ports, from other counties showing
brown rot afflictiOn. 1t is possible
that the rot infection has also
spread over the south and eastern
areas of the state for it was in
these localities that heavy rainfall
prevailed which coupled with late
frosts helped to produce conditions
that foster the brown rot growth on
the tubers.
"Sort out every potato that has
any signs of brown rot and then
pile the remainder of the tubers
into a shallow pile where there is
free circulation of dry air and
there will be very little danger of
the wet rot"
