Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS,

Jerry Muskrat felt better. There
was no doubt about that. The very
fact that he was no longer alone in
the great waste of water, but that
Mrs. Quack was close by, made him
feel better, even though he couldn't
see any way out of his present diff
Guilty. 1t was plain that Mrs. Quack
hadn't the least fear of the rushing
water in the Big River and that
heartened Jerry wee bit.

said she, hastily, Indeed I'm not.
Now listen. The only place where
there is any current toward the Big
River is right here where the Laugh
ing Brook used to be and will be
again when the water goes down.
Over there where the Green Mea-
dows should be the water isn't deep,
and either there isn't any current
at all or it is running away from the
Big River. All you have to do is to
get started and keep from being
swept into the Big River. After that
you will have nothing at all to fear.
The trouble with you, Jerry, is that
you have been 80 busy thinking how

around and look you will see that on
the other side of the tree you are

just the opposite way from the one

most of Boston's colored people do
not vote. They are not interested be-

Allow some of their fine, outstanding

not throw their ward in with another
ward which will make it absolutely
impossible for a colored councillor or
representative ever to be elected We
have treated the black man harshly
enough through history. Here is an
opportunity to take one more political
shackle from their shoulders and to
encourage a down-trodden race. We
should always remember, that in do

man we are only hurting ourselves the

without pushing ourselves down lower
