BEDTIME STORY Bu THORNTON w. BURGE ESS

known by the little people of the daytime. That is the time he likes to sleep curled up in a snug little nest under a grassy tussock or up turned sod. This Is just what he was doing one day not long after his visit to the dear Old Brier Patch. He was fast, yes, very fast asleep, dreaming the dreams that mice love best. Not single soul knew where his cozy little bed was. He had slept there for so many days without once being disturbed that he felt quite safe there. Whenever hc went out looking for food he ex. pected something to happen, but there in that carefully hidden little nest he never expected anything to happen.
 This being so, perhaps you can imagine how Nimblehc els felt when he was wakened from those beauti ful mouse dreams by the shaking of the ground by heavy footsteps very near him. His eyes flew open, but down there among the stems of the tall grasses he could see nothing. Swish, swish, came through the grass and something very big and terrible seemed to be right over him. Nimbleheels was too fright ened to think. But if he couldn't think, he could jump, and jump he did, without once looking where he was jumping. He said afterward that there wasn't time fol that He jumped bllndly and then wished he hadn't. He landed in the queerest place you can imagine. Can you guess where?

HEAR Mrs. Post: We would like A> to christen our baby with the same name as his father. But we hesitate because We do not want him to be called Junior" by every one, which We have grown to dis like Pry much. Undcr these cir cumstances would 1t be very lm- proper to write his name with the sufIix 2nd?
 Answer: You cannot call him 2nd because this means nephew or cousin of man of the same name. Junior is son or grandson. But If you call your boy Jack If hls fa- ther Is John, or Fred If his father Is Frederick, or Henry If his father Is called Harry. no one will call him Junior unless you begin it, or at least encourage 1t.
 
 My dear Mrs. Post: win you tell me about a christening at home? What kind of invitation Is sent and what refreshments are usually served?
 Answer: Taking It for granted that you have consulted your clergy man and that he Is willing to chris ten the baby In your house, you either telephone or else write on your card, "Baby's christening, Wednesday, September 20, five o'clock r. s. V. D." Cover small table with a white cloth or a piece of brocade and on it put the bowl that Is to be used as the font-a silver one If ycu have 1t. If you haven't silver one, use china one, and lay flowers around 1t. The service is exactly the same as in church. The godmother holds the baby and the two other godparents stand next to her.
 After the ceremony serve white almond cake, and caudle Ca rather mild sort of eggnogg with which every one is supposed to drink the baby's health).
 Dear Mrs. Post: Would you say that a christening without having godparents Is much the same as what you say about wedding with out the bride in the traditional white bridal veil and orange blos- soms-"lt Is frame with the pie lure left out? In the same way that bride can be married with out these trimmings, is 1t possible to chrlsten baby without having godparents?
 Answer: Marriage is equally le- gal no matter what the bride wears. At a christening the service of some churches requires that baby have sponsors in baptism" that is god parents-just as the marriage serv- ice requires that the bride be given a ring.

timid members of most timid fam fly. Not even his cousin, Nibbler the House Mouse, Is more timid. So, like all timfd people, Nimbleheels is all the time expecting something to happen. Anyhow, that Is the way 1t appears to his neighbors.
 To be sure, Nimbleheels has enough to make him tlmd. Like the rest of his family, he is forever being hunted. In the daytime he never knows when the keen eyes of a member of the Hawk family are upon him. At any time of day Black Pussy the Cat may come stealing through the grass looking for him. At night Hooty the Owl, Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote hunt for him as they do for his cousin, Danny Meadow Mouse. So Nimbleheels Is always ready to jump at the least hint of danger.
 You mustn't understand from what I have told you that Nimbleheels always goes in great long jumps when he moves about. That is what Peter Rabbit thought at first, and Peter was quite surprised when he discovered that Nimbleheels runs about on the ground In much the same way as his relatives. It Is when he is startled or in great dan ger that Nimbleheels jumps.
 He is much like Peter Rabbit in that he prefers the night to the day for travelling about. That is one reason why he Is not better

SET MY FEET IN
 THY WAY
By ANNE MPBELL

C EFT my feet in thy way, dear God ! o It will be easy then To tread the paths the saints have
 trod
 Far from the haunts of men. There are two roads that may
 take.
 One climbs the starry heights. And one, pursued for the vain
 worlds sake,
 Is lost in bitter nights, Set my feet in thy way, oh Lord, And let me see the sweep Of white-clad angels moving toward Thy presence, still and deep. There is loyeliness scarce seen Except by inner eyes, That lifts our souls beyond the mean. And makes us fine and wise. Set my feet in thy way, dear God, And may my spirit find In reaching upward, with the clod, The growth for me designed. There is fuller life for me Above the common day. Help me to reach 1t finally! Set my feet in thy way!

My Dear Mrs. Post: I am plan ming to be married this month and must have very simple and small wedding. Several weeks ago friend of mine had shower party and invited almost every one of my friends. l feel as though I should invite to my wedding all these kind people who gave Ele lovely gifts, but how can I when I cant even in- clude my own relations, outside of our immediate families? How does one draw the line in making up such a list?
 Answer: l don't think that you can very well accept the shower presents and then not invite the giv- ers-let alone the friends who give the shower parties the wedding You would better have said, ''Thank you, Mary, but don't have shower for me because I can't ask any one but the family to my wedding" It is quite possible to cut your list as you please so long as you are consistent Ask aunts and uncles and stop at first cousins. Or ask cousins you know well and omit those you never see. Ask really intimate friends, and no others.

were there were so scattered over q
large territory that but little organized
defense was possible. The Gage FAM
lily went for as long as u months &C q
time without seeing a white woman
other than those Of the family, and but
few white men passed their way. An
occasional military courier carried the
mail to the ranch. en- route to the forts
further east along the Bozeman trail
In 1875, however, p. P. Clark contracted
TO carry the mail from Bozeman to the
Gage ranch for the few settlers and
trappers in the country.
The upper Yellowstone In 1875 was
truly a country with plenty Of elbow
room.
Describing the Gage family's journey
from Colorado to the Yellowstone. and
experiences Of the early days at the
ranch, Mrs. Bartlett says:
MY father, with his family Of seven
children, left Colorado in May, 1874,
travelling by OK teams consisting OF two
eight-yoke teams drawing two wagons
each, driving $50 head Of cattle and 10I
horses. My oldest sister, brother and 1
drove the stock. Brother was IL, sister
was IS and was IL years Of age There
were three other men, John Fisher, Bill
Mcdonald and Ben Blood, who drove
the bull teams. Father was not well
and was almost blind.
Another family by the name of
Thompson, driving two four-horse
teams, started with us, but after a few
days thought we were too slow, and
drove on and left us. After we were on
the road about month we caught up
with them, their horses having played
out and some of them having died.
They had left one wagon and had
only three horses on the other. Wei
at Ogden, Utah, they going to
California, and we coming TO Mon
tana. We never heard Of them again.
While travelling along the Salmon
river NGrs. Bartlett apparently means
the Snake or one Of its tributaries) a
very serious accident occurred. We were
going through a canyon and over
terribly rough road. The entire family
was walking except my two youngest
brothers. They had been asleep. but
