COME time ago 1 wrote an article, Shall a Woman Tell?" and a gen.

NOME time ago wrote an arLlcie, Shall a Woman Tell?" and a gem ~1 tleman from Sioux City gives me an acceptable answer. To quote from his letter he says:
 II believe a man should always tell. and a woman occasionally. I believe the woman should know her man, and know him pretty thoroughly, before she tells. Men are such sensitive creatures in the matter of honor-that is, one-way honor. My observation is that ire quently the veriest rakes would be nearly done to death if they were to find that the woman of their choice had just exceeded the bounds of discre- tion once. On the other hand, there are men who are fair enough to ad- init that no matter how many times their prospective wives have erred they still are better than the ones who are making the proposals. would not dare to say what proportion of men are constituted this way, but l will declare that all of them should be so constituted.

big chestnut tree? We'll, you see that tree was practically dead, so Farmer Brown had decided that it could be of use in no way now save as wood for the fires at home. If it were cut down the young trees growing up around 1t would have better chance to grow. 1t would be better to cut it now than to allow it to stand, growing weaker all the time, until at last it should fall in some great storm and perhaps in its fall break down some of the young trees about it.
 Now if Bobby Coon had known Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns Boy as Tommy Tit, the Chickadee, knew them, as as Happy Jack Squirrel knew them, and as some others knew them, he would have climbed straight down that tree without the teeniest, weeniest bit of fear of them. He would have known that he was perfectly safe. But he didn't know them, and so he felt both helpless and hopeless, and this is a very dreadful feeling indeed.
 For little while he peeped out of his doorway, watching the keen axes and the flying yellow chips. Then he crept miserably back to bed to wait for the worst. He just didn't know what else to do. By and by there was dreadful crack, and then another and another. Farmer Brown shouted. So did Farm CT Browns Boy. Bowser, the Hound. parked excitedly. Slowly the big tree began to lean over. Then it moved fast CT and faster, and Bobby Coon felt giddy and very sick. He felt very sick indeed. Then with frightful crash the tree struck the ground and for few ppl, Iy,ft at all. No, sir. he didn't know a single thing. You see when the tree hit the ground Bobby was thrown against the side of his house so hard that all the wind was knocked from his body and all his senses were knocked from his head. When after little they re- turned to him, Bobby discovered that the tree had fallen in such way that the hole which had been his doorway was partly closed. He was a prisoner in his own house.
 He didn't mind this so much as you might expect. He began to hope ever so little. He began to hope that Farmer Brown and his boy wouldn't find that hollow. and after awhile would go away. And then. Bowser, the Hound, upset all hope. He came over to the fallen tree and began to sniff along the trunk. When he reached the partly closed hole, which was Bobby's doorway, he began to whine and bark excitedly. He would stick his nose in as much as he could sniff, then lift his head and bark. After that he would Scra tch frantically at the hole.
 "Hello!" exclaimed Farmer Browns Boy. "Bowser has discovered some one at home! I wonder who it can be. Next Story: Bobby Coon Shows Fight

Little Children Cannot Sit Up
 LikeElders
By EMILE HOFFMAN LITTLE miss of four wht

A LITTLE miss of four who has "A frequently been told to initiate her eight-year-ol dsister, rebelled at going to bed at z o'clock because ''sis- ter stays up." Various methods were tried to force the child to willingly re- tire at the appointed time, but to no avail. Finally, the mother decided to allow the child to remain up until s, which was the bedtime for the older girl.
 The mother defends her action by saying, Isn't it better to do this than to get the child into temper and put her to bed screaming, then have a nerv- ous child on my hands for a couple of bours? Now she goes to bed cheer fully. There is no fuss, and she goes to sleep at once."
 This, of course, is the easiest way, and that is fault in so many house. holds; in the training of the children the easiest way is chosen.
 It would have been far better if mother had taught her child the age difference in concessions. In that case the little four-year-old would have un- derstood that when she is as old as sister she can stay up later and she would have gone to bed willingly at : o'clock.
 It should be impressed upon chil- dren from infancy that this age differ ence exists and they must accept it as matter of course. The mother who thus trains her children will not have to contend with. the whining of Dorothy because Sonny can eat foods that are denied her. Ethel will not sulk because she can not go to parties as Ruth is allowed to do. Ten-year- old Buddy will not be dissatisfied be- cause he can not have an allowance like 12-year-old Billy. has, and so on.
 All will understand the age differ ence and eagerly look forward to the birthday which will grant them the coveted privilege. Ina household where there are several children this is very desirable condition, and it is not at all difficult to establish if begun as soon as the child can understand.

By THORNTON W. BURGESS NOW that Bobby Coon knew what

NOW that Bobby Coon knew what ~ it was that had frightened him so, he felt no better than before. In fact, he felt worse. Before he had imagined all sorts of dreadful things, but nothing that he had imagined was as bad as what he knew now to be a fact. His house, the big, hollow chest nut tree, in which he had lived so long, and in which he had gone to sleep so happily in the beginning of the winter, was being cut down by Farmer Browns Boy and FArmer Brown himself, and Bowser, the Hound, was looking on. There was no other tree near enough for him to jump to. The only way was down straight where those keen axes were at work and Bowser, the Hound, sat watching. What chance was there for him there? None. Not the least chance in the world. At least that is the way Bobby felt about it. That was because he didn't know Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns Boy.
 You see, all this time that Bobby Coon had been having such a dread full, such a very dreadful time, Farmer
