Don Take
My Word for 1t!
BY FRANK COLBY.
Bod-BodIy

This weeks slip O. the tongue:
IT feel badly today" No. Would
one say: "I feel goodly; I feel
family; I feel welly?" Certainly
not. The feeling that I have is
the opposite of a good feeling.
Therefore: "I feel bad today"
Wrong: "She feels badly about
the mistake" No. She does not
"feel badly" unless her sense Of
touch is defective or wholly i'm
paired. The mistake gives her a
bad feeling. Right: "She feels bad
about the mistake"
Wrong: Doesn't she look bad
ly?" Is she nearsighted? Does she
have astigmatism? Is she losing
her sight? No. We are not con-
cerned over her eyesight, but about
her appearance. Right: Doesn't
she look bad?"
Important: Do not use badly in
connection with emotion or appear
ance. One may drive, write, sing,
dance, speak or skate badly, but
when one is i'll, or is sorry about
something, or shows the ravages Of
illness or sorrow, the only correct
word to use is BAD.
I should like to send you my
free leaflet which gives a simple,
non-technical key to the correct
use of shall-will and should
would. Send a stamped (3-cent),
self addressed envelope to this
column. The free leaflet will
reach you promptly.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
OF people who play tricks beware,
Lest they may get you in a snare
r frtyS

or people who play tricks beware,
Lest they may get you in snare.
Whenever one may be about.
There is such a thing as being too
much interested in something you
are doing. That is the way accidents
very often happen. A person will
get SO interested in something that
he will be blind and deaf to every
thing else, and so will walk right
straight into danger or trouble Of
some kind.
Now just take the case OF Bowser
the Hound. Bowser was so interested
In the chase Of Old Man Coyote
that he paid no attention whatever
to anything but the warm scent
of Old Man Coyote which the latter
was taking pains to leave. BoWser
ran with his nose in Old Man
Coyotes tracks and never looked
either to the left or to the right.
He would lift his head only to look
straight ahead in the hope of seeing
Old Man Coyote, and then down
again would go his nose to follow
that scent.
So Bowser didn't notice that Old
Man Coyote was leading him far,
far away from home to where he
was quite unacquainted BoWser
has great, deep, wonderful voice
which can be heard a very long
distance when he bays on the
tracks of some one he is hunting.
1t can be heard very long distance
indeed. But far as it can be
heard, Bowser was far, far beyond
hearing distance from Farmer
Browns house before Old Man
Coyote began even to think of
playing one of his clever tricks in
order to make Bowser lose his
scent. You see. Old Man Coyote
intended to lead BoWser into strange
country and there lose him, hoping
that he would not be able to find
the way home.
Old Man Coyote is himself tire
less runner. He is not so heavy
as Is Bowser, so does not tire as
easily. Then, too, he had not
wasted his breath as had Bowser
with his steady baylng. Old Man
Coyote could tell by the sound of
Bowser's voice when the latter was
beginning to grow tired, and he
could tell by the fact that he often
had a moment or two to sit down
and rest before Bowser got danger
ously near.
So at last Old Man Coyote de-
cided that the time had come to
play trick. BY and by he came
to river. At that point there was
a high, overhanging bank. On the
very edge of this bank, Old Man
Coyote made a long leap to one
side. Then he made another long
leap to the big trunk of fallen
tree. He ran along this and from
the end of it made still another
long leap, as long as he could.
Then he hid in a little thicket to see
what would happen.
