OUR BEDTIME STORY

ing to eat what he could get, but you
remember he had set his heart, or
rather his stomach. on fish and had
turned up his nose at the thought of
anything else. SO his stomach was
empty and he was cross. Did you ever
notice how crOssness almost always
goes with an empty stomach?
Presently as he shuffled along mum
bling and grumbling he came TO some
plants the roots of which are very
good eating. That is. they are very
good to Buster. He dug up lot, for
the ground was soft, and his great
paws with their big claws make very
good digging forks. AS he dug he
ate, and when at last he stopped dig
ging it was because his stomach was
as full of those roots as it wanted to
be. He had had enough. There was
still room for some dessert. but of the
roots he had had all he wanted
Dear me, dear me, what an important
thing a stomach is! 1t was Buster
Bears stomach that got him into the
quarrel with King Eagle. 1t was his
stomach that put him in such a rum
bling, grumbling temper. And now it
was this same stomach thai restored
his usual good nature. He no longer
grumbled and rumbled. He even
laughed as he sat there all alone in
the Green Forest and thought of how
first Plunger the Fish Hawk, then King
Eagle, and lastly he himself had been
sure of that big. fat fish which Plunger
had caught in the Big River, and how
after all it had been Granny Fox who
had eaten it.
Three of us quarreled for that fish
and some one else, who wouldn't have
known anything about it but for tina;
quarrel, got it. 1t certainly is funny

that quarreling doesn't pay. Not the
ones who do. any way. Ha! What is
that?"
Buster cooked his head on one side
and listened. His little eyes began to
twinkle. "That sounds to me very
much like the hum of Busy Bee" said
he. He looked eagerly in all direc.
tons. Just back of him he discovered
some flowers, and there sure enough.
was Busy Bee 'Har' said Buster
Bear again.
'Hum-m-m!" said Busy Bee and was
gone.
Honey" exclaimed Buster Bear.
That's what | need. Fish would have
been good. but honey will be better.
"The hum Of little Busy Bee
Is sweetest of all sounds to me;
1t thrills my heart and stomach, too,
AS nothing else can ever do"
81 wonder where Busy Bee is stor-
ing that honey. 1t is just what l want
to top off with"
Buster smacked his lips and then
smacked them again, and little by
little his mouth began to water, for
Buster Bear has a very sweet tooth,
such a sweet tooth that he will risk
great deal for the sake of filling his
stomach with sweets.

CHANGE
BY DOUGLAS MkILOCH
y EFORE we know the spring is here
- We find the summer all about,

BEFORE we know the spring is here
- We find the summer all about,
And then the first faint frosts appear
And summers skies are blotted out
Before we note the falling leaves
The leaves are covered by the snow
Yes, all the things the earth receives
AS swiftly come, as swiftly go.
So suddenly the seasons pass
Not even winter fingers long;
The hills again are green with grass
The skies again are filled with song.
And so it is with joy and grief,
For grief and JOY are always strange;
The bursting bud. the falling leaf,
So quickly do the seasons change.
We find some comfort even in this.
We know how fragile joy can be;
And, wise with sorrow, when we kiss
Perhaps we kiss more tenderly,
Love better and live better, too.
And grieye, perhaps, with greater
hope
From having seen the gray grow blue,
The grass returning to the slope.

ARMY OF DEPUTY
 SHERIFFS FILL !
 THE MINE ZONES
War Between the Strikers and Those Who Have
 Gone Back to Work Is
 Believed Inevitable

Springfield, H., Aug 22-UP)-
 An army of deputy sheriffs deploy-
 ed today over the coal fields of southern Illinois, determined to prevent warfare between miners
 who wanted to work under the new
 $5 wage and other miners who sought to prevent them from doing Iso.
 The march of picklts started upon the mines of Franklin county
 today at the same hour an army of deputized citizens began form- ing about the Peabody mines in Christian county near Taylorville. In Franklin county, where sev-
 eral shots were fired yesterday in a clash between pickets and depu- ties, Sheriff Browning Robinson sent 20 armed men to the coal fields and told the United Press he
 would send more later. "If any miner wants to work, we
 are going to see that he is allowed to do so," Robinson told the United Press. We don't want any violence.
 but if guns must be used, they
 must"
 Robinson said he understood there were nine mines in his county twhere attempts would be made to
 operate today despite the presence
 of thousands of picizets. He said he believed there would
 be no serious trouble, but expected that if any did develop it would he hear Zeigler, where most of the pickets and deputies were assenlb- ling.
 Leaders of the protest movement in Christian county said that@they would have 1.500 pickets massed about the entrances of the four Peabody mines before noon. They predicted that no miner would try | to enter the mine despite the pre- sence of the army of deputies. Sentiment in that county was
 said to have shifted since 10000 strikers visited Taylorville last Thursday and converted the men of that vicinity to their cause. Pre- viously Tayloryille miners had
 the new wage scale.
 The statewide referendum was taken after representatives of the OPCldtOAo oSA So so
 duce the basic scale from $6.10 to
 $5 a day. Although the agreement
 was ratified in the referendum.
 thousands of workers throughout the coal fields have sought to pre-
 vent any work being done under it.. Meeting of the protesters were
 held ytesterday in west Frankfort and Kincaid. Deputies under Sher- if Robinson broke up the west
