As for Unc' Billy Possum he grinned
as only Unc' Billy can.
"Br'er Chatterer," said he. "Ah
done got mo- respect TO- Br'er Jay
than ever ah had befo'. Why don't
yo' try being honest TO- awhile yoself.
Yo' won't find any symapthy lying
loose around these parts"
And Chatterer didn't. He found
that every one thought that he had
been served just right, and not one
had a word to say against Sammy Jay.
So once more Chatterer went of to
sulk by himself and jerk his poor
little tail in foolish anger.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel has a
way Of expressing his feelings with his
tail. 1t is fact that Chatterer's
tail is very, very useful to him as a
means of expression. Whenever he is
angry he jerks it. Whenever he scolds,
and this is a good part of the time,
he jerks it. And often when he is
spying on other people and does not
want to be seen, and for this reason
cannot use his tongue, he gives ex-
preston to his feelings by means Of
that funny little tail.
When he discovered that Sammy
Jay had taken all the stolen beech

The other night, right after the snow
fall, I adriring tho shadowy pictures
the moon Was painting on the snow. The
whole town was so white end beautiful, and
I was so thankful thu t {, part Of
that town. And as I WIS consi dering my
fortunate position and the pleasure that
I derived from being citizen Of Green
belt, I thought Of others all over the
world who were not es Fortunate as I. and
then there came to mind the news item the t
described the Spanish soldiers pouring
out their lives on snow that must have
been just like thet before me. The
following may not be good poetry, but it
is a sincere prayer.
The last white flake its tiny ell
Had given to our last snow fall.
I watched the landscape, clean and white,
That shone brightly tho' 'twere night.
The smiling moon etched shadows clear
Of white clothed trees. Then did appear
Before my eyes scene Of snow
On other hills. And there did show
Against the white, another hue.
The red Of blood was running through
The virgin white on Teruel,
Where brother, loving brother we'll,
Could yet bespray the whitoned hill
With brothers. blood. The same SHOWS fall
And clothe the world like friendly shawl
Let's pray snow is always white
And never red from snnseless fight.
