Bedtime Stories

Grandfather Frog sat on his big
green lily pad in the Smiling Pool
Grandfather Frog was out of sorts.
In fact, he had the very worst kind
of = crouch. Now q crouch Is =
very bad thing to have; it makes
every one uncomfortable, and no
one likes to come anywhere near
one who is grouchy.
So Grandfather Frog sat on his
big green lily pad and couldn't see
that jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun was
smiling, nor that the Merry Little
Breezes were playing in the meadow
grass, nor could he hear the birds
singing, or the bees humming. In
fact, he was so grouchy that he let
three foolish green flies 20 right
past his nose, and what do you think
it was all about? Why, 1t was just
because his cousin, old Mr.. Toad,
had beaten him in q race the day
before.
It had been 4 funny race, the
funniest race that the Green Mea-
dows had ever seen. Grandfather

be made by practically every one.
South's second bid is open to some
question. He could not very well
bid three diamonds, for that would
be construed as sign-off, showing q
weak hand and requesting partner
to drop the bidding. South did
therefore have to make q stronger
bid, and, in spite of the fact that
he held an eight-card suit, game

vorable than in diamonds, where
only two tricks could be lost. South
therefore should have bid three no.

monds should not be criticized too
severely. However, when North con-
tinued with four no-trump South
should have been satisfied that his
partner had ali the other suits under
control and that even 10 tricks at
no-trump was safer than attempting
II at diamonds.
II North had been allowed to play

ably have received q heart opening,

then all of q sudden Grandfather

reason that he had lost was because
Peter Rabbit had hoped up behind
old Mr.. Toad and shouted In his
ear that Mr.. Blacksnake was coming.
Now, there is nothing in the world
that frightens old Mr.. Toad as the
thought that Mr.. BlacBnake is
somewhere near, and when he heard
Peter shout that, he hopped SO fast
that he passed Grandfather Frog
and won the race.

teased him so much that Grand
father Frog quite lost his temper,
and this is the reason that he sat

Alamo Springs isn't much of a town to look
at right off, but if you look careful you'll see
it is. The clothing stores have got a lot of
twenty dollar Stetsons in their windows, and
the grocery stores sell cocktail tomatoes, and
the bar at the Desert House is bigger than the
lobby, even if the main street in front of it
isn't paved. All on account of this is a dude
ranch country and dudes have money So my
idea was - well, III just tell you how it

1t would be ungrateful not to drink

wine ready to our hand at the mo-
ment; and I say, Uncle Scroogel' 4"
"Uncle Scrooge!" they cried.
"A merry Christmas and Happy
New Year to the old man, whatever
he isl" said Scrooge's nephew.
Uncle Scrooge had imperceptibly
become gay and light Of heart. But
he and the Spirit were again upon
their travels.
Much they saw, and far they went,
and many homes they visited, but
always with a happy end. The
Spirit stood beside sick-beds, and
they were cheerful; on foreign
lands, and they were close at home :;
by struggling men, and they were
patient in their greater hope; by
poverty, and it was rich. In aims
house, hospital, and Jail, in mis-
ery's every refuge, where vain man
in his little brief authority had not
made fast the door, and barred the
Spirit out, he left his blessing, and
taught Scrooge his precepts.
Forgive me If am not justified
In what / ask" said Scrooge, look
ing intently at the Spirits robe, "but
I see something strange, and not be-
longing to yourself, protruding from
your skirts. Is it a foot or q claw"
ut might be a claw, for the flesh
there is upon it," was the Spirits
sorrowful reply. Look here"
From the foldings Of its robe, it
brought two children; wretched, abb
ject, frightful, hideous, miserable.
Spirit! are they yours?" Scrooge
could say no more.
"They are Mans" said the Spirit,
looking down upon them. "And they
cling to me, appealing from their
fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This
girl is Want. Beware them both,
and all of their degree, but most of
all beware this boy, for on his brow
/ see that written which is Doom,
unless the writing be erased"
"Have they no refuge or re-
source?" cried Scrooge.
care there no prisons?" said the
Spirit, turning on him for the last
time with his own words. care
there no workhouses?"
The bell struck twelve.
Scrooge looked about him for the
Ghost, and saw it not. AS the last
stroke ceased to vibrate, he remem-
bered the prediction of old Jacob
Marley, and lifting up his eyes, be-
held a solemn Phantom, draped and
hooded, coming.
