are proberly glad wen they are hanging
up in a butcher store with no more

Pigs live in a special place called a
pig pen. They seem satisfied TO be
there and nobody blames them for
living there, but If you tell anybody
eltS they awt to live in a pig pen they
feel much more insulted than II you
told them they awt TO live In dog
house or a chickin coop. although they
would have much more room.
One Of the most prominent parts OF
the country is the scenery. The grass
helps everything TO look green and there
is thousands of trees of all kinds of
diffrent makes but all looking about

herds bid nests in them and sing diff

BEDTIME STORIES
BY THORNTON
n. BURGESS

Just as baby Deer always have spotted
coats When that baby Bobcat was
grown TO full size those spots would
have mostly disappeared.
Now it never entered Peters head
that there might be other baby Bob
cats. No. sir, 1t never entered his head
II 1t had he probably would have look
ed around little bit AS it was he re-
manned absorbed in watching this kit
ten playing in the moonlight. The kit
ten was having wonderful time. Peter
felt as If he wanted to go out and play
with him. But he wasn't foolish enough
to do anything of the kind. He just
remained right where he was. He re-
manned right where he was and he re-
manned perfectly still.
without the least warning Peter was
knocked fiat. Yes, sir. he was knocked
right over. Not only that. but lot of
sharp claws pricked his skin. 1t seemed
to him as II they pricked him all over
Peter Souealed right out in pain and
surprise and fright. And he kicked
My goodness. how he did kick! He drew
those long hind feet of his up and shot
them out with all his strength. When
Peter kicks he can kick hard. He kicked
hard now And Peter was lucky. Those
two hind feet of his landed right in the
stomach of the sister of that little
Bobcat he had been watching, 1t was
she who had jumped on Peter. She
had seen Peter when he first arrived
and she had stolen up until she was
near enough 10 jump on him. She
hadn't made a sound.
Now that little Bobcat really wasn't
big enough to kill fun-grown Rabbit.
Her teeth were not yet big enough to
do much more than hurt, but they
were big enough to hurt and her little
claws we're sharp enough to scratch.
and she made the fur fly. OF course.
the kitten who had been playing in
the moonlight stopped playing and
came over to see what was going on.
1t was perhaps fortunate for Peter that
he succeeded in planting that kick in
the stomach of that little Bobcat just
before the other one reached them.
The little Bobcat let go and squealed.
Peter scrambled to his feet and lodged.
Then away he went. lipperty- lipperty-
lip. as fast as his legs would take him.
He wasn't a second too soon. The
Squall of that kitten brought her
mother. Mrs Yowler. to the scene in a
hurry, but by the time she reached
there Peter had disappeared. He ran
until he was out of breath. Then he
crept into a bramble- and began
to smooth his coat and lick the places
where those sharp little claws had
scratched him.
