BEDTIME STORIES BY y. r sSse1ss

my Yes, sir: they'll freeze to death
l don't know how long it takes for an
Owls egg to hatch, but I'm certain
that it will still be cold weather when
those babies break their way through
the shell. Those Owls are crazy to be
nesting at this time of year. 1 never
heard of such thing!"
I've noticed" said Sammy. that
sometimes we find Mr.. Hooty on the
nest and sometimes Mrs. Hooty on the
nest"
"Of course" replied Mrs. Sammy. 1T
wouldn't do to leave those eggs uncov-
cred in such weather as this, so they
take turns, and while one goes hunting
the other sits on the eggs. But you
mark my words, Sammy Jay, those
babies will freeze to DEATH"
1t was just about four weeks from
the time Sammy had discovered that
first egg when he discovered great ac-
tivity around that tree in which was
the old nest of Blacky the Grow. Sam
my stopped at some distance, for he
had discovered at once that both Mr.
and Mrs. Hooty were off the nest. Just
as he came in sight of the nest he saw
Hooty fly away into the Green Forest.
Then when he reached place where he
could see the nest clearly, he discov-
cred that Mrs. Hooty was not in it.
She was nowhere to be seen. What
could that mean? Sammy fairly ached
to fly over and look down into that
nest. He was just about to try it when
Mrs. Hooty suddenly appeared alight-
ing on the edge of the nest. My, how
big and fierce she looked She had
something in her bill Sammy couldn't
be sure, but he thought it was Mouse.
Whatever it was, it disappeared in the
nest. Then Mrs. Hooty settled herself
on the nest.
Now, being a bird himself, Sammy
understood what all this meant. las
live" said Sammy to himself, those
eggs have Matched! Yes, sir: those eggs
have Matched! There are babies in that
nest! Well. if they don't freeze to death
it will be wonder"
One morning a week later Sammy
Jay awoke to find that it was showing.
About the middle of the forenoon it
stopped showing Sammy hurried over
to Farmer Browns to get something to
eat. Having eaten late breakfast, he
thought of those babies of Hooty the
Owl. He started for the Green Forest.
He expected to find Mrs. Hooty or Mr.
Hooty sitting on that nest to protect
those babies. Instead. when he got
there he discovered two little heads
up as Hooty the Owl arrived
with something in his bill. The tree
was white with snow. The nest itself
was white with snow. On all sides
everything was white with snow. Yet
there were those two babies seeming
not to mind it at all. "They are reg
ular snow babies!" muttered Sammy.

Sammy went as near as he dared to
go. From a safe distance he watched
that tree where the nest was. Day after
day he saw Mrs. Hooty sitting on the
eggs and he never got over the wonder
that there could be eggs in such cold
weather. The very branches around the
nest were covered with snow. He Won
dered how many eggs there we're. When
he had looked into the nest there had
been but one. but he knew well enough
that by this time Mrs. Hooty had more.
How many more there was no way for
Sammy to know.
II don't see what those babies are
going to do when they hatch out in
such weather as this said Sammy to
Mrs. Sammy, who had gone over there
with him one day.
They'll freeze" declared Mrs. Sam

OF course. Sammy Jay couldn't keep
the secret of Hooty the Owls nest to
himself very long When Blacky the
Crow heard who were the owners of
the egg Sammy Jay had found. Blacky
promptly forgot that he had ever
boosted that he would go get that egg.
The one thing that Blacky wanted
most in all the Great World was to
keep as far as possible from Hooty
the Owl and Mrs. Hooty. He was afraid
of them and said So and he didn't care
who knew it.
Sammy Jay, however, couldn't keep
away from that part of the Green For

making their home. Day after day

When DR.. Caldwell started to practice
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for a

drastic physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which DR.. Caldwell did

he used early in his practice, and which

fair that people who are making but
little money should be compelled to
pay a pension to individuals of war
service who have great wealth when
such disability was not secured in the
service, and a provision was inserted
in this measure providing that pay
ments should only be made to those
who do not pay income taxes. A mar
ried man with a net income Of less
than $500 a year will receive It. A
single man with a net income Of less

proof of this is that that insurance will
cost the Government a billion dollars.

Based on War Disability Rates.

A member Of Congress, MIR. Rankin of
mississippi, introduced House bill No.
1925, which selected a particular list
OF diseases and provided that it should
be presumed that they had been con-
nected In war service if contracted prior
70 January !, 1880. These bills were all
considered by the Committee on World
War Veterans Legislation, which by d.

teal effect gave pension Of from $50

wounded. No one can say that q man
who was on the front lines In France,
who laid In the dug-outs and trenches,
went through the barrages and faced
the machine guns, and then actually
lost his limbs, did not suffer more than
the man who enlisted after the World
War, after the days Of the Armistice.
This bill for the first time recognizes
the dinerence In suffering and dis
ability and provides that any man who
lost one or more feet or hands in
the active service in line Of duty be-
tween April 8, 1917, and November IL,
1918, shall be paid S25 per month in
addition to all other compensation
which he may receive under existing
law. In all, the measure has IS Sec
tons; every one Of them gives some
thing TO the service men; no part Of 1t
takes anything away from them. When
it is known that the President stood
firmly against an unjust, discriminatory
measure that gave preferences and
great benefits to some groups and gave
nothing 70 other groups equally dis
abled, and stood firmly for a measure
that would give something to every
man disabled to degree of rs per cent
or more. his action will receive uni

Wars and its commander, HeZekiah N.

BUSINESS AS USUAL

Our national resources are as
great today as they were last
year. Our great business organ
izations are in strong financial
condition and our industrial
plants are at the highest state
of efficient development. Credit
is abundant. With the excep
ton of the difficulties that have
arisen as a result of the drastic
deflation of commodity prices,
the businers horizon is reason
ably clear. All that is lacking
is courageous and intelligent
effort aud confidence in the fu
ture of the country. We all
know that the present period
cannot long endure, yet many
good citizens are hesitant and
wait for Others to show their
courage and initiative. II every
body would get into the swim
they would all realize how fine
it is.-Los Angeles Times.
