BEDTIME STORIES

ed the first time. He studied the
ground carefully. He found a foot
print. 1t was very faint but there
was no doubt that it was a footprint.
He hadn't seen it before because he
hadn't been looking for that kind Of
footprint. He had been looking for
human footprints. There was moth
ing human about this footprint. 1t
was very much such a footprint as
a dog might make. The first thought
of Farmer Browns Boy was that the
one or ones who had stolen the
melons had had a dog with them.
But Bowser the Hound knew better.
1t wasn't the scent of another dog
that his wonderful nose picked UP. In
moment or two his master under
stood this, for BowSer wouldn't have
barked in the way he did if he had
found the track of another dog. He
might have growled a little, but he
wouldn't have sent that great voice
of his rolling across the green mead
ows as he was now doing. Barking
like that is called baying. and Bowser
bays only when he is following the
trail of some one he delights to hunt.
II guess Reddy Fox has been around
here" said Farmer Browns Boy to
Farmer Brown. Then he called
sharply to Bowser, for he didn't
want Bowser to chase Reddy Fox.
Bowser obeyed, but it was plainly to
be seen that he didn't want to obey.
He kept shifting about and whining.
He was eager to follow that trail.
Meanwhile Farmer Brown had been
looking at some of the pieces of
melon rind. Son" said he, and on
his face was a puzzled look, this
melon wasn't broken open by hands.
Teeth did it. Come look at this"
Farmer Browns Boy looked. On
that melon rind the marks. of teeth
could be plainly seen, and those teeth
were not the teeth Of a boy or a man.
Bowser came over and shifted at the
melon rind. He whined with eager
ness and kept shifting and shifting.
Then Farmer Browns Boy saw
another of those footprints. He point
ed it out to Farmer Brown. "Old
Man Coyote has been here" said
Farmer Browns Boy.
Then such a funny expression as
the faces of those two wore. The
same thought had come to Farmer
Browns Boy and Farmer Brown at
the same instant. Could it be that
Old Man Coyote was the melon thief?
Could it be that Bowser the Hound
had found clue to the thief who had
stolen their melons?

Of paper knives, book ends and paper
weights, and single gorgeous rose in
vase. Amid. all this artistic ar
ray, the funereal telephone funnel
would have looked like a miniature
smokestack. But mercifully it was
hidden behind a small. three-sided
screen, curving at the top. and quite
lovely in line.
This screen was made OF heavy
cloth boards. fastened together with
tough flexible tape, firmly glued and
covered with a gorgeous piece of i'm
ported batik paper. The background
of the paper was a sort of golden
brown fecked with orange, which
toned in we'll with the brass fittings
of the desk. Over this background the
pattern ran in delightful zigzags of
purple, blue and a dim green. The
telephone book which lay near by was
also covered with piece of this batik
paper, and both book and screen were
decorative additions to the desk and
the room.
An extension telephone in bedroom
may have a screen harmonizing with
the hangings and upholstery. If the
bed coverings, curtains and cushions
are of chintz. the telephone screen may
be covered with the same material, or
with a plain color like the over
draperies.
In the sketch shown today. the
screen has been taken away from it's
pretty surroundings, for purposes of
showing it more clearly, as guide
to those wishing to make one. In a
place where both table and chair are
for telephone use only, the screen is
unnecessary, of course.

What TodayMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Libra.

Libra.
Today's planetary aspects are ad-
verse until noon, but thereafter be-
come benign and extremely favorable
During the forenoon all energetic
action, especially along new lines,
should be restrained, and thought
and deliberation should take the place
of deeds. The morning should be
devoted to thinking. the afternoon to
doing. The signs, after midday, indi-
cate success to any weIl-thought- out
plan, provided it does not SAVIOR Of
speculation or hazard, especially
along constructive lines. They favor
optimism and encourage energy, and
the utmost advantage can safely be
taken of such stimulating conditions
A child born today will enjoy quite
normal health, and, given ordinary
conditions, will achieve a healthy
maturity. Its character will be
rather boisterous; its disposition
jovial; its mentality mediocre. This
child, without any very deep emo
tions. will. as time rolls by, become
az hail fellow well met, whether it
be boy or girl; it's joviality and
merriment will attract others: the
limited intelligence that it possesses
will be overlooked, and its lack Of
sincerity of feeling ignored. This
child should be given as much out
door life as possible.
II today is your birthday You are
very temperamentaI If you are tied
down to routine duties, either in the
home, the workshop or the Office, you
are square peg in a round hole, and
are destined, not only to become a
comparative failure, but to acquire a
disposition of dissatisfaction and
general grouchiness.
You must have atmosphere, and
you need some opportunity to reveal
those gifts which you know you
possess. but for which very few are
willing to give you credit. You know
that in the drugery of everyday
work of an ordinary nature you can
never find that self-expression which
is essential to achievement, and yet
you are afraid to take the bull by
the horns and seek the field of en-
deavor in which you know full we'll
you would shine.
You must, if not too late. make up
your mind as to whether you will
travel in a rut, with no prize in
sight, or. no matter what the Difficult
ties may be, how many hardships
may be incurred, how many appar-
emily insurmountabl obstacles have
to be overcome, risk everything you
have and map out for yourself that
career for which you know you are
best fitted.

date are L. w. Box, editor and world

HOW TT STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Bachelor" /"

There is history in this word whose
meaning in common speech TODAY is
confined to an unmarried man. It's
derivation hints not of matrimonv-
all reference on the road from its
origin being to the land.
Directly the modern word "bache-
lor" comes to us from the old French
bachelor" a. young man, and pre-
viously a young knight or novice
bearing another's standard. It's
origin, however, is from the Latin
baccalarius, which meant the holder
of small farm. This was derived
probably from the Low Latin "bacca"
for cow, implying grazing land.
The term was applied in early
times to tenants of certain church
lands, then to monks who had not
yet taken full vows. and thence to
young men in the probationary stages
of knighthood. From the latter, we
are told, came the extension of its
meaning to unmarried men who were
regarded as candidates or proba-
TONERS for matrimony. Hence our
word which is used exclusively in the
last sense and conceals the interest
ing steps Of its evolution.
