Bedtime Stories
nv TuORNTON w RJTRCESS

From the doorway of Happy
Jacks house the softest of soft
voices came down to him. dee,
dee, dee! See me, see me! Happy
Jack, Happy Jack, come to the
Christmas tree before Chatterer and
Sammy Jay take away all the good
things you like so WE'LL" it cried.
dee, dee, dee, dee! I'm as happy
as can be-" 1t was the voice of
Tommy Tit the Chickadee.
This time Happy Jack became
enough interested to climb up and
poke his head out of the doorway.
At first he could see nothing at all,
for the million jolly Little Sum-
beams blinded him with their
brightness. And the million little
crystals of ice flashed in his eyes
and dazzled him.
But he could hear, and what he
heard were the jolliest sounds and
the merriest, sounds and the hap
pieSt sounds and the cheerieSt
sounds that ever were. They came
from the Old Orchard and from
beyond in Farmer Browns door,
yard. They we're the mingled voices
of Tommy Tit and Drummer the
'Woodpecker and Sammy Jay and
Yank Yank the Nuthatch and Chat
terer the Red Squirrel, all talking
at once as fast as their tongues
could go and not making a single
quarrelsome sound. And with them
mingled the jingle of merry sleigh
bells as Farmer Browns Boy pre-
pared to go for a ride.
Hardly believing his own ears,
Happy Jack started for the Old
Orchard. What do you think he
found there? He found a little
hemlock tree standing in the snow
where no hemlock tree had been
before. In it and around it were
his friends, so happy and excited
they couldn't keep still. You see
that little tree was hung with things
birds dearly love to eat and scat
tered under it and in little boxes
fastened to its branches were big
fat hickory nuts and brown chest
nuts and yellow corn, enough for
all forGmany days.
With the taste of the first nut all
misery left Happy Jack. For a
while he was too busy to talk. Then,
with his stomach filled until he
couldn't swallow another mouthful,
he scampered to the top of a big
apple tree, spread his great, fluffy,
silver tail and did his best to tell
all the Great World that he was
the happiest squirrel that ever lived.
A door slammed, Farmer Browns
Boy walked across the dooryard and
jumped into the sleigh. He stopped
whistling long enough to look over
toward the hemlock tree in the Old
Orchard. Merry Christmas, every
body!" he cried.
And Tommy Tit and Happy Jack
and Chatterer and Drummer and
Sammy Jay and Yank Yank each
did his best to wish Farmer Browns
Boy Merry Christmas and to
thank him for their Christmas tree.
The sleigh bells jingled merrily, the
jolly Little Sunbeams smiled hap
PLY, Farmer Browns Boy whistled
joyously and far away chimes pealed
softly and oh so sweetly.
Happy Jack looked down. Under
the Christmas tree Peter Rabbit
was dancing from pure joy. The
Jolly Little Sunbeams were dancing.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel was
chasing his tail. In a flash Happy
Jack was down on the snow doing
the same thing and his heart was as
light as his fluffy tail, for into it
had entered the spirit of Christ
mas.
And so for Happy Jack Squirrel
and all the other little people of
the Old orchard, I wish you Merry,
Merry Christmas.

The life in the Middle Ages was
very different from life today. Most
of the people lived in castles Il
were ruled by their lord. The as
ties were built of stone and were
there for protection. They were very
hard to heat. The people who llVeu
there had their certain quarters.
There was a moat around the cas-
tie walls and heavy gates. In the
castle yard there was a church ana
different houses. Sometimes there
was a second moat inside the gates.
The different classes of people
included the serfs who worked the
land, There was the overload ana
the king. Sometimes the oVerlord
would give land to another man ana
this was called the feudal system
The different workers worked IN
guilds ana they had to be fair to
each other. In guilds there was the
master, the journeyman and the ap-
prentice.
The church in the middle ages was
very different from our churches
TODAY. There was only one church
and everybody had to attend it. 1t
collected heavy taxes from rich and
poor alike. The pope was the head
man. The arch bishop came next
and the priests next. The church
was very beautifully furnished. -

I have finished recently a very
good library book. The name is "Se-
cret Garden" 1t is about a little
girl called Mary who went to a big
house to live with her uncle. There
was a secret garden that hadn't
been opened for ten years. Mary
was very lonesome. She didn't have
anyone to play with. But her nurse
had a little boy and he came to play
with her n day.
One day while Mary was ont walk
ing, a little robin came where she
was and showed her the key and
led her 10 the gate. Many opened
the gate and went into the garden.
She dug up weeds and planted some
flowers. Dickens came over to the
big house one day and they went
into the garden. Mary did not tell
anyone she had found the garden
but left it a secret. She had many
good times there. I am sure you

One night we wanted to be
brave boys. We decided to sleep
in our tent in the old lot. We took
our pillows, bed clothes, and some
candy to eat in bed. Then we crept
out of the house and into the tent.
We cot into bed and told jokes and
ghost stories until about IL o'clock.
Just as we were doing off to
sleep we felt a warm breath on
our faces. We ere startled. Our
hair stood up like a porcupine's.
We thought it might be a lion or
tiger that had escaped from the cir
Gus that day. We grabbed our pill
lows and ran like a streak of lightn-
ing for the house.
The next time we saw an ad in
the paper which read, Lost. Con-
tented black COW. Answers to the
name of Susie. Absolutely harm
less. Return to 24O Mason street.

time China was ruled by the Mon

asking that Christian missionaries
be sent.
When the elder Polos returned,
they had with them young Marco,
then a lad of II. While his father
and mother were engaged in max

services of the emperor of Cathay,
in which his official duties led him

In olden days some of the people
did not think it was right for the
government to educate every child,
but others thought it was the right
thing to do. Public schools were
started by Horace Mann. In villages
and small towns it was easy for
children to get together, but In the
country it was difficult for them to
reach each other. Very many chill
dren were uneducated. In the coun-
try schools, the children would sit
on logs to study. There were SIN
or seven grades in n room and
sometimes the teacher only got IN
one lesson for each grade. The
well-to-do people would send thei!
children to fine schools. Colleges
were begun and in the 18th century
they began growing faster,-Odessa
