Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Johnny Chuck had been in the
sulks for days and days and DAYS.
He was too cross to be spoken to.
No one knew what to make of it.
for Johnny Chuck is usually the
happiest and best-netured little
fellow in the world. The fact is
Johnny Chuck was jealous. He was
jealous of Digger the Badger be-
cause Digger could make a hole
IN the ground faster than he could.
So Johnny Chuck sat on his door,
step and sulked until all his friends
and neighbors went out of their way
to keep from going by his house.
Now, all this time Old Man Badger,
who is called Digger, had been 50
busy In his new home on the Green
Meadows that he had not had time
to call on Johnny Chuck, and he
had not heard q word about the
way Johnny Chuck was feeling
Then one day Digger found he
had q little time with nothing to do
