Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Stickytoes the Treetoad was quite
upset. There was no doubt about it.
Either he had got out on the wrong
side of the bed that morning, or his
breakfast had disagreed with him, or
something had happened to make
him lose his temper completely
Don't know what it means! Don't
know what it means! Don't know
what it meanS!" croaked Stickytoes
over and over again. Heard it last
night and the night before that and
before that and before that and be-
fore that, and don't know what it
means!"
Don't know what it means?"
asked Peter Rabbit, whose curiosity
would not let him keep still
Hello, Longears! I don't know
that it's any of your business!" said
Stickytoes.
Peter allowed that 1t wasn't, but
that. as he had so much on his own
mind. he couldn't help being inter-
ested when he found that Sticxytoes
had troubles, too. Then he told
Stickytoes all about how Boomer the
Nighthawk had said that he had
seen Sammy Jay going to bed up in
the far-away Old Pasture. and how
that very night Sammy jays voice
had been heard screaming down in
the alders beside the Laughing
Brook. Stickytoes nodded his head.
Il heard it," said he.
But how could Sammy Jay be
down here if he went to bed way off
there in the Old Pasture? Tell me
that. Stickytoes!" said Peter Rabbit
Stickytoes shook his head. Don't
ask me! Just tell me how it is that
I hear my own voice when I don't
speak a word" said Stickytoes the
Treetoad.
Whats thatP" exclaimed Peter
Rabbit.
Then Stickytoes poured out all his
troubles to Peter Rabbit. They were
very much like the troubles of
Sammy Jay. Every night Stickytoes
would hear what sounded like his
own voice coming from a tree in
which he was not sitting at all and
at a time when he was keeping his
month shut as tight as he knew how.
In fact, he had been so worried that
for several nights he hadn't said a
word, yet his neighbors complained
that he had been very noisy. He was
getting so worried that he couldn't
eat.
Peter Rabbit listened with his
mouth wide open. 1t was just the
same kind of story that Sammy
Jay had told. What under the sun
could be going on? Peter couldn't
understand it at all. 1t certainly
was very, very curious. He just must
find out about it!

rather than because there was any
moral issue involved.
Government officials. sensing
the coming of the storm which pre-
coded the revolution. feared that
the play would serve less as
warning TO the court. seemingly
bent on riding TO destruction, than
as a means of developing resent
ment against the constituencies

lowed.
The play became forbidden fruit.
No public performances were given
hut there were private rehearsals,

always liberal, was present. That

There Is a great deal of dignity,
patriotism and public service rep
resented in the story of Thomas
jefferson. for whom the jefferson
grade school. North 18th and Ste
vens. is named. Revolutionist.
statesman. governor of Virginia.
member of congress. secretary OF
state, vice president, president of
the United States. and private citi-
zen, jefferson led a busy and use
ful life.
He had finished his education
and nj "a was the owner of a
thousand acre farm. He increased
this to 5000 acres. which he STU
pervised, and at the same time
developed a law practice which
paid him about $4,000 year. He
was industrious to a degree that
does not have many counterparts
among persons OF wealth.
jefferson was president from
March 4, 1901. to March 4. 1909.
He was the first president to be
inaugurated in Washington city.
He believed somewhat in the the
DRY that to the political victor
belongs the spells. and as soon
as he was in office began to turn
out the sppointees OF the previous
administration.
Jeffer>on's greatest accom-
plishnent a. president WAS the
Louis iana Purchase
transaction In which the
United States bought Louisi-
ana territory from France for
$4,000. 900. jefferson urged
the purchase SO that the
United States could control
the entrance TO the Mississippi
river. He also wanted to get
rid of France and Spain-two
countries which had large pos
sessions In the western hemi-
sphere and had very little
love for the United States.
