Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.


Prickly Porky the Porcupine had
lost nearly all his quills, the little
spears he carries in his coat, you
know, and his first feeling was that
of disgrace. He felt, very much as
you or I would feel if we had to ap-
pear among our neighbors half
dressed. At first this was the only
feeling he had. Because of it he
wanted to keep out of sight of his
neighbors.
But keeping out of sight of his
neighborS wasn't an easy thing to
do. Had it been midsummer, when
the trees are clothed with millions
of leaves, matters would have been
different. But you know it was just
at the very beginning of spring be-
fore the leaves had come out, and
only in the pine or spruce or hem
lock trees could Prickly Porky be
hidden. Even then he was not hid
den from the sharp eyes of certain
of his feathered neighbors.
Sammy Jay was the first to dis
cover him. At first Sammy didn't
notice anything wrong. He didn't
notice anything wrong until he flew
right over into the tall hemlock
Sammy's sharp eyes noticed that
there was something queer about
Prickly Porky. At first he didn't
understand what it was. Then all
OF sudden it came over him that
there were only half a dozen or so
of those sharp little spears peeping
out from the fur of Prickly Porkys
coat. Sammy's eyes opened very
wide.
What under the sun have you
done with all your little spears?"
he demanded.
Prickly Porky mumbled something
which Sammy couldn't understand.
He repeated his question. Again
Prickly Porky mumbled. This time
Sammy made out that Prickly Porky
was telling him that it was none
OF his business. In doing this Prick
ly Porky made great mistake
Sammy Jay became offended right
away. He said a few sharp things
such as he knows very well how to
say. Then off he flew.
Presently Prickly Porky heard
Sammy Jay screaming. AS he lis
tened he suddenly became afraid.
What Sammy Jay was screaming
was this: "Prickly Porky has lost
his little spears! Prickly Porky has
lost his little Spears!" 1t suddenly
came to Prickly Porky that if Buster
Bear should be awake and hear this
he might take it into his head that
this would be a good time to get a
porcupine dinner. He had a feeling
that If Old Man Coyote should hear
him he would watch for a chance
to catch him on the ground. PrickIy
Porky knew that he was perfectly
helpless without his little spears.
and for the first time in his life he
understood what real fear is.

Well and Good

This weeks slip O. the tongue:
"She sings real good" No. She
may be a good singer, but she does
not sing good. Better say: She sings
well.
Wrong: Junior has learned to
write right good" No, decidedly.
Right: Junior has learned to write
well CLEARLY; legibly; plainly.
Wrong: "She draws mighty good"
There are two mistakes here; do
not use mighty for very or rather.
Right: She draws rather well Cor
splendidly; artistically).
From Dayton: What is the origin
of the expression, gone up the
spout? C.S.S.
Answer - The expression origi-
mated in pre-Civil War days. Most
pawnshops of the period had a
metal chute which extended from
the shop to the Office, on the floor
above, where the safe was located.
When articles were pawned, they
were ticketed and placed in a re-
ceptacle and pulled up the chute or
spout, to be deposited in the Office
safe.
Since many pawned articles are
never redeemed, the allusion is
obvious.
Are you sure about WAS and
WERE? Should one say, "If he
WAS woman" or "If he WERE
a woman? Send for my simple
key to the correct use of these
bOthersome words. Send a

Pastor Son browns,
Woman Rescued as
Canoe Capsizes
Pair Were Shooting
Potomac Rapids
Above Chain Bridge

Gerald H. Gregg. "A, farmer of
South Langhorne, Pa, was drowned
and his companion, Miss Frances
Buck, "a, of 1902 Dumbarton avenue
NV, was rescued when a canoe in
which they were riding capsized in
the Potomac River near Chain
Bridge yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Gregg's body had not been
recovered today. Harbor police said
the water in which he disappeared
was difficult to drag because of the
rocky bottom of the river at that
point.
Miss Buck, a secretary of the
Worlds Y. w. c. A. at 1901 Six
teenth street NV, reported that
Mr.. Gregg, son of DR.. James E.
Gregg, minister of Waterbury, Conn,
had been in Washington several
days on visit and that they car
ried the canoe above Chain Bridge
to shoot" the rapids. She said
they had made all the rapids sue
cessfully when the canoe struck a
whirlpool and overturned.
While under the water, she said,
she felt the canoe pass over her and
chung to it. Coming up, she re-
ported, she saw her companion S
head above water twice, the first
time close behind her and later
some distance back.
Miss Buck was rescued near the
Chain Bridge by two men in a
canoe.

Flyer Seriously Injured
As Plane Crashes in Yard

By q Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June l6.--A
private pilot, whose two-seater mon
oplane crashed into the backyard
of a tourist home near Beacon Air
port yesterday, was resting in Alex
andria Hospital today. His condi-
tion was reported improving, but
remained critical.
The pilot, Thomas Parsons, IS, of
Mclean, Va, had just taken of
bystanders said, when he encountered
strong crosswinds. 1t was said he
apparently decided to land at once,
but was forced to fly so low that
he was unable to avoid electric
| wires in the yard of the Blue Moon
tourist home.
The youth apparently had cut of
the ignition when he saw the crash
would be inevitable, preventing out
break of fire. The chassis of the
plane came to rest only few yards
from the building.
The broken wire caused a minor
power failure in the area around
the airport. Virginia Public Service
Co. repairmen had the line fixed
within few hours.
Mr.. Parsons received a possible
conclusion of~the brain, severe head
