Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Some enmity can lay aside
And all their bitter feelings hide.
old Mother Nature.

THERE are two times when it is
easiest to lay aside enmity. One
Is In period of great common danger
and the other time is when there is
food for all and all are hungry. Those
are the times when foes sometimes
cover up their real feelings. or perhaps
forget them altogether for the time
being.
Peering in through the cat hole in
the far corner of the woodhouse was q
masked face. Satisfied that all was
we'll big Raocoon entered. Another
followed. Two more tried to enter at
the same time and Skunk pushed
both aside and came in. In short
time there were six Coons and three
skunks in the woodhouse and Aunt
Sally, hostess of the Woodhouse Night
Club, was beaming.
While seeming to talk soothingly to
her furry guests, in reality she was
talking to Tommy, Sue and Sammy.
who were sitting in the darkened
kitchen and looking through the door,
way into the lighted woodhouse.
Keep perfectly still. Don't move
or make sound" crooned Aunt Sally.
'The gangs all here and perhaps
you'll have chance to see something
worth while"
The three onlookers were almost
breathless in their efforts to keep still
The biggest Coon mounted the boxes
arranged as steps beside the chair of
the hostess In her lap was pan of
food containing some meat. This was
what she called the hearty" The
sweet food, consisting of pieces of stale
doughnuts and cakes from the baker,
and bread sweetened with sugar, was
in a pan on the floor and around this
most of the younger Coons were
gathered
The big Coon, half in that hospitable
lap, began to eat from the pan there.
A big Skunk came up the steps and
crowded in beside the Coon. Another
Coon paused on the top step, shifted,
then crowded the Skunk over and his
nose joined the others in the pan.
1t didn't seem that another could
possibly find place at that pan, but
somehow Skunk, a handsome big
one, did-after lot of showing and

crowding which was resented with
subdued snarls and groWls. And then
another Coon, unable to find room
for even a foothold on the top box,
climbed up the shawl-wrapped legs
OF the hostess and, clinging there,
reached the pan.
So there they were-a Coon, a
Skunk, Coon, a Skunk and a Coon
eating cheek by joWl as the saying
Is, from the pan in Aunt Sallys lap.
It was unbelievable. At least it seemed
so to Sue and Sammy. But it was true.
Now and then one would snap at the
nose of a neighbOr, and there was
more or less growing, but that was all.
And all the time their smiling hostess
talked to them and with her one free
hand stroked first one and then
another
Finally, appetites sated for the time
being, one by one they got down and
departed into the black night beyond
the cat hole. The young Coons at
the pan of sweets fingered bit longer
and then they too retired. Both pans
were practically empty.
Sue drew long breath. 1T was
wonderful" she said
II felt as if We all ought to sing
Hail, hail, the gangs all here!" said
Tommy. I've seen Skunk and a
Coon in your lap together before this,
but never anything like that gang
Aren't you ever afraid?" she asked
Aunt Sally shook her head. "They
wouldn't hurt me- Why should they?
We understand each other. Some
times get scratched little by sharp
claws, but never have I been bitten.
You see, we are friends" said she.

Rebukes Certain Senators
for Selling Advertising

To the Editor of The Star:
AS a citizen, who-like his forebears-
voluntarily risked his skin in our coun-
trys service in time of war, have felt
entitled to address a private rebuke to
certain Senators for their affront to
American traditions in selling out sem
atorial dignity to cigarette advertising.
1t may come as a surprise to them,
as well as others, that there are still
citizens of this country who so revere
our institutions and respect the memory
of patriots that such lapse in dignity
and taste on the part Of highly placed
public servants causes them to feel
deep humiliation and resentment. Our
number is small, but it certainly exceeds
the count of the original group who
fought the Revolutionary War on prin-
ciple Not all of us have fallen so low
as some gentlemen appear to suppose.
The time may come fast when men who
feel themselves to have a stake in
American institutions will establish con-
tact with each other and unite to pre-
vent further decline in the standards
of public service.
Mercenary senators and other servants
Of the public may therefore be on
notice that they cannot lightly sell out
the dignity of our Government or ruth
lessly exploit the trust that has been
repoSed in them.
Americans awake!
