BEDTIME STORIES

mem. She had a way Of suddenly
appearing just in time to show them
hoW 10 40 thing or To warn them
asainst doing thing, But she couldn't
ne Win them all the time, for she
neFSeii had to hunt and SO they had to
learn some lessons for themselves.
IL happened one evening that while
mother was off hunting the two kit
tehs had Strayed little farther than
usual. Presently they heard a strange
rustling sound. It frightened them, vet
II ftlled them with curiosity. They fat
tened themselves on the ground behind
fallen tree trunk They Rugged the
ground AS only kittens or cats can.
The funny little stub tails twitched, but
otherwise there was no movement. Out
from behind the top of a fallen tree
Slowly waddled stranger. Never be-
fore had they seen any one like this
He was Srunting to himself fretfully,
He had 2 fur coat with long hair. but
in that hair there seemed To be some
tiing that ratified and rustled. The
kittens couldn't understand II at all.
The stranger climbed up on one end of
that tree trunk and began to slowly
walk along 1t. Behind him he dragged
a queer. rather broad. stubby tail He
didn't try to hold II up. He looked
neither this way nor that way. He
wouldn't have seen the kittens II he
had looked right at them, for they were
so motionless that 1t would have taken
sharper eyes than those of the stranger
to have found them
And how those kittens did stare
The stranger was TOO big for them to
think of attacking INN. But even TO
their inexperience he appeared to be
stupid fellow Certainly no one like
that could run fast. At the thought Of
this the spirit Of mischief entered into
one Of these kittens. The stranger had
stopped and was now sitting back Ia
the kittens. his tail hanging down in
front of them In the most provoking
manner The mischievous kitten stood
it just rs long as he could. Then he
reached out with one paw and cuffed
that hanging tail. He didn't cuff it
but once. No, sir, he didn't cuff that
tail but onCe Then he gave vent to a
screech that so startled his sister that
the latter ran all the way to the home
den in the ledge of rocks as fast as her
legs could take her. You see. the owner
Of that tantalizing tail was none other
than Prickly Porky the Porcupine.

BOOSTS MARKET
Domestic Winter Wheat Where
There Is No Snow Blanket
May Be Affected

Chicago, Jan. 20.-GP,-Cold
weather endangering domestic win
ter wheat where there is no blanket
Of snow did q good deal to turn the
wheat market upward early today.
Meanwhile, corn values were easy
owing largely to improved condi-
tions for the movement Of corn to
market. Opening unchanged to a
LIZ cent higher, wheat subsequently
scored gains all around. Corn
started at 1-8 to 3-4 cent decline,
but afterward rallied. Oats were
firm. Provisions advanced.
In addition to misgivings rela-
tive to likelihood Of cold weather
/ damage to unprotected winter wheat
in domestic territory, especially
southwest, buyers Of wheat today
took notice Of an unofficial esti-
mate current that the Argentine
wheat yield will total 1850, 900
bushels against . previous estimate
f.of 2l3,797,000 bushels. Figures
/. were also out purporting to show
!, that the worlds available wheat
I supply increased only 52,55O,0O
l bushels the year before.
Rallying power showed by the
corn market at times today was as
cribed to wheat strength. There
/ were also advices that the 1927
Italian corn crop estimates had been
reduced nearly 100000 bushels
and is now more than 100000
bushels under the 1926 total. On
the other hand, sales of corn today
to arrive in Chicago were larger.

Session Employees
Just Make Expenses

Legislators who participated In
the recent ons-bjll session were not
- generout % they might have
been, in ths opinion q some en-.
ployes-and some members Of the
assembly agree with them.
The trouble lay in the fact that
the session was 20 short that none
Of the jobs were Worthwhile. Some
Of the employees who were here 1t
the last regular session presumed
that their services would again BE
In demand and came to Bismarck.
IN eight days most Of them received
little more than enough to pay their
railroad fare and expenses. A
proposal 20 pay their railroad fare
was advanced by some house men,
bers but came to nothing.
