Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

When, on the second morning,
Farmer Browns Boy discovered
all those pals on the ground which
Buster Bear had knocked down in
his anger and disappointment, he
decided that something must be
done to teach Buster a lesson.
Buster must be taught that those
pals were private property and
not to be meddled with. He reset
the pals and then, as ne tramped
about through the Green Forest
collecting sap, he did lot of hard
thinking He knew enough about
Buster Bear to know that Buster
is very sharp and cunning and is
not one to be easily fooled. He
said:
THE thing to do is to give Buster
Bear a scare, just as I did last
year. If he would come up here
to the sugarhouse I could do it.
But I don't believe he will. I
haven't seen any signs of him
around the house and I guess he
hasn't forgotten the fright I gave
him when I got that fashhght
picture of him year ago. I've
got to teach him a lesson somehow
or other out here in the woods.
The question is, How can I do it?"
Farmer Browns Boy thought and
thought. When noon came, Farmer
Browns Boy went home to get the
hot dinner his mother had pre-
pared. All the time he was eating
he kept thinking and thinking.
While he was shaking some pepper
over his food a little got up his
nose and he sneezed. Right away
he had an idea. The Sneeze gave
him the idea. All through the
rest of his dinner he kept chuck
ling. Before he started back for
the little sugarhouse in the Green
Forest he went to the pantry and
looked over his mothers supply
of spices and such things. Into
one pocket he slipped a package
of black pepper. Into another
pocket he slipped a package of
red pepper.
what are you going 10 40 Will
those?" asked Mrs. Brown in great
surprise.
Farmer Browns Boy chuckled.
I'm going to use them to help
make more sugar" said he.
For the land sake" exclaimed
Mrs. Brown. whoever heard OF
such a thing?"
mo one ever did before, guess"
chuckled Farmer Browns Boy, but
YOU know there always has to be
the first time in everything"
Without another word, he hur-
ried away toward the sugarhouse-
and never was there more puzzled
woman than was Mrs. Brown as she
tried to think how red and black
pepper could possibly make more
sugar.
