LITTLE BEDTIME STORY
BUSTER BEARS SHORT FEMPER
aron W. suhars,
It's such very foolish thing, : So silly and so needless, To lose your temper when you know It is wholly needless.

4. q Itffl ' q : It's such very foolisn thing,
 So silly and so needless,
 To lose your temper when you know
 It is wholly needless.
 When Buster Bear scrambled to his feet after tearing open the tall, hollow stump in the Green Forest and saw his cousin, Bobby Coon, scrambling to his feet, Buster straightway lost his tenn per. It was foolish thing to do, a dreadfully foolish thing to do. There really wasn't the least excuse in the world for it. And yet Buster mustn't be blamed too much. You see he wasn't really himself. Ordinarily Buster is one of the best-natured people in all the Green Forest. He doesn't begin to be as short-tempered as ever so many others are. In fact, lie isn't short tempered at all.
 But just now Buster was hungry. He was very hungry. He was so hungry that he couldn't think of any thing but his stomach and how empty it was. You see so early in the spring there was very little for him to eat. and he had to hunt and hunt to find that little. When he had started to tear open that tall. old stump he had hoped that inside he would find down in the rotting wood eitLer a nest of ants or some of the worms and insects that like to bury themselves in rctting wood. So when Bobby Coon came rolling out Buster was so disappointed that he quite lost his temper before he had time to think. He flew into rage. You see he just took it for granted that Bobby Coon had been in that hollow stump for the very same purpose that t he himself had torn it open. Now it never does to take things for granted. You know and I know that Bobby Coon had crawled into that stump only to sleep.
 Buster didn't know this, and Buster didn't stop to find out. He growIed a terrible deep ugly-sounding growl that made all of Peter Rabbits hair stand on end. You know Peter was close by. hiding behind big tree to see all that might happen. Then Buster Bear start ed for his cousin, Bobby Coon, and his little eyes seemed to fairly snap fire.
 "I'll teach you to steal an honest bears dinner!', he growled in his deep grumbly, rumbly voice.
 | Now this wasn't fair to Bobby Coon

Playing The Game

.s
 l saw you at the theater the other night" began the girl in the matching scarf and hat, speaking in the sweet voice which presages trouble. Tt looked like man whom 1 used to know that was with you-NTinton Wedgewood. Was it he?'
 Why, yes" admitted the girl with the orange rouge in the carefully care less tone that strives not to be, tri- umphant. Dear old Minton! He al- ways manages to get seats in the third row, too! Queer didn't see you, dear. You must have been sitting in the bal cony." 1
 1T was in direct line behind you, four rows only!" snapped the girl in the matching scarf and hat. Even at that it is odd you didn't glimpse us, the way you were twisting about look ing to see whether somebody you knew didn't see you! For the life of me l cannot understand why girls act so silly about going out with Minton Wedgewood. He combs his hair care fully and really does manage to conceal his bald spot" .
 The idea Minton's not 30!" cried the girl with the orange rouge. Haven't I heard you say you went to school with him, Lobelia?'
 T was in kindergarten when Minton was in high schoolv' explained the matching scarf and hat girl negligently "Why, Minton is so much older than am that it was positive joke when he got so wild over me-"
 You're older than am at that!' declared the girl with the orange rouge firmly, "and I never once knew of Min ton Wedgewood taking you out! Not that you haven't made enough oppor- tunities for him to ask you.'
 Il don't know what you are talking about!" declared the other, glint in her eye. II am so busy these days that certainly should never waste time on Minton. Of course, he is perfectly nice sort of man, and when a girl hasn't much attention can see how she would be thrilled to death at the chance. But personally he bores me infinitely v
 You haven't seen him enough to know how terribly clever he isl" point ed out the girl with the hectic rouge. He has the keenest mind and knows all the writers and artists and pro- gressive people in town. And he tells such interesting stories.

Story Or Isaac
 And Rebecca J ToBe Gwen

r
 < The large Birmingha1n audiences who lave witnessed the annual productions of the Maxinus, club players for the past number of years in their Biblical dramas will be interested to know that this dramatic group have chosen for this years production the beautiful story of Rebekah.
 As in the past the same thorough ness and attention tos dstAils have been maintained and the sMxximus players are planning to give its patrons drama that will eclipse all former ones in beauty and stasing.
 { Since the dramatic club is financed by private interest, the Biblical plays are given from year to year in the in terest of religious education, conse- auently no admission is charged nor collection taken .t the performances.
 The. drama will be given on Friday night of this week in the Sunday school auditorium of the Elrst Methodist church, where the stage has been equipped with modern color reflectors in order that the sunset and moonlight scenes called for in the play may be effectively carried out. Owing to the length of the production the perform ance will commence promptly at 8 D.. rn..
 The story of the, "Wooing of Re bekah" is wildly told in three acts, picturing in the first Act beautiful scene in the country of Beer-La- -hai-roi where Abraham refuses to recognize the Canaanite Maids of Isaac. The sec. ond act tells the, story of the finding of Rebekah at the z well as minutely described in the Twenty-fourth chapter of Genesis. In the third act around a cemp fire on the return journey while the moon is full Rebekah is acquainted with the story of the sacrifice, like wise in the latter part of this act the romantic meeting of Isaac and Re bekah concludes the program.
 Those taking part in the play are Messrs. Withers Lockhart, Isaac; Har- bin Singleton, Abraham; Clarence Eos set, Eliezer; Ruth Hill Carr, Kemuel z; Cecil Benton, Bethuel; ". T. Edwards, Laban; Misses Clarisse Davis, Re. bekah; Ethel Marshall, Milcan-; Eliza. beth Aust, Deborah Buell. Barnes, Tar nah Annie Phillips, Iscah; Dorothy Gross Zillah the Canaanite Maids are represented by. Misses Margaret Ward, Kathleen Ivey, Annie Mae Bailey, Mary Elizabeth Hughes and Inez Warren.
 Staging of the drama Las been car ried out under the direction of Mir. Artemus Lewis, assisted by Misses Grace Carr and June Brewer, Mrs. c. M. Kenyon and Mrs. Artemus Lewis.
