NOT CHARACTER OF FICTION

Wild Bill. cousin of Buffalo Bill, was
not hero of fiction, but real man.
He was counted the quickest and
straightest pistol shot In America. Bill
could shoot with either hand and had
the knack of drawing a bead" on his
victim bit sooner than the enemy
could get the drop" on him.

snapped over in the Green Forest near the foot of Paddy's pond where he had built his dam. Some one else was coming and wasn't trying to walk
 softly. Paddy looked at MT. Quack and MT. Quack looked at Paddy, and then both fixed their gaze on the place from which the noise was drawing near. Out on the shore of the pond walked Buster Bear. And such a sight as he was! Bits of bark and wigs and dead leaves and plain dirt stuck all over him. He was a sight! He surely was sight He was grumbling and whin- ing. For just a minute he sat up and looked all over Paddy's pond. He
 wrinkled his nose as if trying to test the air for any strong smells and then blew sharply in disgust. He couldn't smell anything but honey. Then he dropped to all feurs again and walked across Paddy's dam and along the shore until he came to certain place where there was great deal of mud. Then what do you think he did? He lay down and rolled and rolled in it until he was sight He was covered with mud from head to feet. He rubbed his nose and the top of his head in it.
 When he got through he certainly was the worst looking bear ever was. Pad dy olinked and looked at Mir. Quack.

Little Stories For Bedtime
lsy TRoRNTOH ". suaaEse

PADDY THE BEAVER sees other
 people a great deal oftener than
 they see him. Paddy is one of those who believe in seeing, but remain ing himself unseen. There isn't much that goes on around that little pond which he himself made deep in the Green Forest of which Paddy doesn't know. It is one of the advantages of living in the water most of the time that you can disappear any time any where, and no one on shore knows where you have gone. At least you can if you can swim like Paddy the Beaver or his cousin, Jerry the MuskEat .or Billy Mink, or Little Joe Otter. All you have to do is Co dive and then swim under water to some place you can watch all that goes on. Simple, isn't 1t?
 On this particular day, the very day when Buster Bear found the storehouse of Busy Bee and Farmer rown's boy discovered both, Paddy the Beaver had spent most of his time sleeping in his house out in the pond. You see inside that house 1t was dark and cool and comfortable, while outside the sun was very, very bright and hurt Paddy's eyes, which are not very strong. The air was hot and even the watef was. warm. warmer than Paddy liked. He much prefers to be abroad at night anyway. So inside his house Paddy dozed and was very comfortable and was sorry for his neighbors who had no such cool place to go on hot day. Once in a while he would 80 out just to see that all was well or to pass the time of day with Mir. or Mrs, Ouack.
 It was on one of these occasions that Paddy's keen ears heard just the faintest sound in the Green Forest. He was among some rushes which grew on

one side of his pond, favorite retreat of the Quack family. Mir. Quack heard it too. Some one is coming" he whis- pered. and with a low quack wakened all the young Quacks, for they were taking nap. Instantly their heads popped out from under their wings, and with their heads stretched up they sat perfectly still listening. Paddy swan to the edge of the rushes, where with only his head out of water he could see and not be seen.
 The noise grew louder. Whoever was coming was not trying to steal up to the pond silently, and this was a good sign, No one who wanted to harm them ever would approach so noisily. Nearer came the noise, and it was quite clear to Paddy and to all the Quack family that whoever it was was in hurry. Presently Paddy saw some thing moving among the trees on the other side of the pond, and in a minute out stepped Farmer Browns boy. At the edge of the pond he stopped down and scooped up a handful of soft, wet mud.
 What can he want of that" thought Paddy. Then his eyes grew round with wonder. Farmer Browns boy was plastering that black, wet mud on his nose and his forehead and the back of his neck and on one of his hands !! Then he sighed, and so still was it there around Paddy's pond that sigh could be heard over where Paddy was.
 Paddy wasn't sure, but it sounded to him very much like a sigh of relief. Then Farmer Browns boy sat down in the shade of tree half hidden by an old stump and once more it was as still as of there were no living being around Paddy's pond.
 But it wasn't still very long. A twig

She is a type. She is the Inattentive Girl.

At one time her family were afraid Imogene was growing deaf. But ire quent visits to the doctor dispelled this fear. Her parents have tried every way in their power to make her pay atten- tion to what is said to her. When she suddenly comes to from wool-gathering and asks a question her family refuse to answer her and pay her in her own coin. They frequently leave her out of automobile rides and theatre parties and when she complains that she did not know their plans she is rebuked for not listening when the affair was being planned and advise her if she takes heed in the future she will not be left out.
 But Imogene just nurses a grievance and thinks she is treated very shabbily by her family and the world in general. She gets sulky and sits. and broods.
 No task, however important, can be trusted to Imogene without continually reminding her of it until it finally pen etrates her inner consciousness. Then she performs it in a dusultory sort of l way. Her mind is never on what she is doing. She sits in a brown study most of the time and seems to be think 1 ing, but isn't.
 The boys all say Imogene hasn't any pep. She is a pale, rather frail look ing girl and her general air of abstrac- tion gives her rather an ethereal ap- pearance. But some day a forceful young man will come along and so cap tivate her that he will jolt her out of her reveries.
 She is a type.
 She is the InattentiIe Girl.

F atf1ers And Sons
 Can Be Best Of Pals

It is natural to wish to give children material comfort. It is natural to wish to save them struggle. But the chil- dren themselves have a clearer vision. They will drop the costly top to grasp the friendly hand outstretched toward them l; they will loosen their hold on a coin and clutch smile; they will stand by loyally through dark days and never whimper, if they feel they are helping. They know, says Angelo Patri in De- lfneatoe.
 I owe my father neither money nor goods. He never had any to give me. I owe him an inheritance that enriches me beyond the power of any fortune he might have left me.
 He lived quietly and gently. He knew few people, but he loved them and they loved him. His voice was gentle and per suasive, so that the children and birds and dogs and horses came at his call as to one they trusted and liked well.
 He worked hard, every day. And when he came home at night, I had the feeling that he had given more than he had received, and that 1t was well to give in that way.
 After dinner he would tell me all the Happenings of the day. knew the man on the job by name and character 90 well that felt they were friends of mine. He told me all about the job; and I was keenly interested in all it's ups and downs. could see it growing.
 He shared the home with me, too. I knew how much money there was, to spend and exactly how it was spent. We did what we could to share the load Father never belitted my efforts, never told me of the boy down street who did more and did it better. He smiled and encouraged and told me stories of the time when should do fine things in a fine way, until I, too, believed that I should.

So the three selfish old men ran to the store and found Mir. Tunky and the Raggedys drinking invisible bottles of soda. "Aha! Now we have come to wrestle you right out of the store and have it for our very own !'' the three brothers cried. So two of them wrestled Raggedy Andy and one of them wrestled Mir. Tunky. My, how they tusseled! The invisible things upon the shelves were knocked off and came rattling down upon the floor and they wrestled this way and that
 Finally the two brothers who were wrestling Ragsedy Andy won and they just started to help the other selfish man wrestle Mir. Tunky when Raggedy Ann happened to put her hand against the handle of an invisible broom.
 And just as soon as she felt that it

was a broom Raggedy Ann knew the fight would soon be over.
 Raggedy Ann bumped the three sell fish men this way and that until they were mighty glad to run out of Mir, Tunky's store and down the path through the woods. Then. when Rag gedy Ann saw that Raggedy Andy still was down upon the floor she and Mir. Tunky ran to him and found that an invisible bicycle had fallen from top shelf and was holding Raggedy Andy down.
 Mir. Tunky lifted the invisible bicycle from Raggedy Andy and wiped it with the magic cloth and it was a very fine bicycle with shiny handles and a fine tinkly bell.
 Ut will not do to put it back upon the shelf cause it may fall on some one again!" Mir. Tinky said, so he went to the front door and gave the shiny red bicycle to nice little boy.
 Then the Raggedys helped MT. Tun- MT. Quack blinked and looked at Pad dy, They were seeing strange things that afternoon.

The selfish old man had been locked up in Mir. Tunky's chicken coop because he had taken bread and ham away from two nice little girls.
 Raggedy Andy and Mir. Tunky had car ried the selfish old man over there even if he did wigsle and kick as hard as he could.

 ""Ha, ha, ha :" the selfish old man laugh ed. He was just pre- tending he was not frightened, but he really was shaking way down in his shoe boots, because he knew very well that when anyone takes things which do not belong to them, a po- hceman may arrest them.

 conversations. It isn't that she doesn't hear. It is because she doesn't listen. It is a chronic state with her.
 She has an annoying habit of sudden ly interrupting a person with a ques- tion that is entirely irrelevant. When chided for her rudeness she apologizes and says she was thinking about some thing else. And that is the trouble with her She is generally thinking about other subjects than the one that is being discussed. Her mind goes off on a tangent.

GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING
 by Frederick Palmer
(The American Legion)

I have commanded my country's army in a victorious war" said Gen. eral Pershing when I mention to him the talk about him for the Presidency as our troops were marching into Germany. That's enough"
 He was trained soldier by his country. He had done his job as a soldier under his country's orders. Another kind of job was not for him.
 Twenty years hence-and let up hope that he will still be living and vigorous at eighty-three-when his gray hair and square chin rise above a crowd I think that the cheers will be even heartier than to-day.
 Then time will have given the en- terprise of the A. E. F. in France something of the majestic proportions which will be accorded to it by history.
 He was the organizer and the moulder of the A. E. F. The stamp of his character was upon it in so far as any one man can put his stamp upon vast modern army. At the same time the stamp of the Ameri- canism of all who served under him was upon him. It was this combination which made the A. E. F. so strictly American. As an American it was his duty to get the best out of the spirit of America in war.
 To the soldier of the A. E. F. he was remote, a man of iron, imposing an iron dicipline upon the army. All regulations and all exactions took his

name in the words "by command
 Washington, who never had as many as 10000 men in battle, was closer to his men than the average division al commander in France. Grant was a familiar figure to the advancing columns on narrow fronts in his day. Pershing's soldiers could not see and know the commander of an army of two million scattered over France fighting on other widely separated fronts as we'll as on the long front of the Meuse-Argonne.
 Pershing must direct all; he must be responsible for all. He must act through subordinates who had been jumped from civil life into war or who commanded thousands in war when they had not been commanding hundreds in peace.
 If failure came, however, if was Pershing's failure. His was the name for systen. By the destiny of army authority his was the personality jn tho lmeliaht whether IT victory of !e, feat. The A. E.. + won. A;n"c.ra wci.. He won
 He was !hc o1.Y general we ever had except Washington, who hc" n and finished war in command. The A. E. F. kept on winning all the time from the start All historians of the A. E. F. as whole or any part of it., from base ports to the trenches, will please keep this in mind. It is the big fact, the unforgettable and now unchangeable fact. This in spite of our unpreparedness, and we may not have such good luck next time if we are unprepared.
 To anyone who knew, in the days when he was unknown, man who has become great figure, that man is always the human being. You think of him in his qualities as man among men with his strong points and his weaknesses. I happen to have known Pershing when he was a captain, and I mention this so that the reader will get my angle of view.
 Young John Pershing was at the plow when he received word that he was appointed to West Point and that he would become an officer of the regular army. I am sure that he was blowing a deep, straight furrow. That is the kind of man he is.
 five got this job to do," he would say, and it was hard to draw him away on anything else whether play or an inspection until he had that job off his mind. And he had to do that job thoroughly, no matter how late he had to sit up over it.
 As companion on the march or in play he was right in the game with

as an army, and fought it as an army at St. Mihiel and in the Meuse-Ar- gonne instead of having it's identity lost and perhaps the war lost by mix ing it as battalions among the allied armies.
 He was not only a soldier but an ambassador at the head of the great est embassy we ever sent to Europe. When our veterans marched into Ger many and our mixed regiment march ed in the victory parades in Paris and London we had shown Europe that although we do not want war we know how to make war if war comes.
 There were mistakes in the A. E. F. There always are in war. Mis- takes are human. "Why did you march that corps to the left and then back to the right without engaging it a German general asked Grant. "A blun- der," replied Grant. Grouchy as we got, sometimes, with that "by com mand of General Pershing," we did win that war, and he was our leader. As l know John Pershing he is all man and soldier May he live to be a hundredl
