Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Reddy Fox stole swiftly through
the Green Forest in the direction
of the pond of Paddy the Beaver
Reddy took the greatest care tc
keep out of sight Of all the other
little forest and meadow people. II
would not do to let one of them
see him because-wel, because you
know, he was supposed to be down
on the Green Meadows. He had
said that he had a very important
errand down there which prevented
his going to look for Buster Bear
as Prickly Porky had asked him to
OF course, he hadn't had any errand
down on the Green Meadows. 1t
was just an excuse. The truth is
he was afraid to look for Buster
Bear. And so he had made up that
excuse.
Then Jumper the Hare, who, you
know, is one of the most ti!nid Of
all the little people who live in the
Green Forest. had offered to go look
for Buster Bear. Reddy Fox didn't
believe that Jumper really would
dare do it, but if he should why
Reddy knew that everybody would
say that he was a greater coward
then Jumper, and would laugh at
him ever after. There was just one
thing to do and that was to give
Jumper such a fright that he would
forget all about Buster Bear. So
as soon as he was out of sight of
the other little people Reddy had
turned into the Green Forest and
run as fast as ever he could to head
of Jumper the Hare.
Now, Reddy couldn't have done
this had Jumper started in a great
hurry to look for Buster Bear, be-
cause fast as Reddy can run Jumper
can run faster. But Jumper had
not been in a hurry and so 1t hap
pened that Reddy was nicely hidden
behind a big pile of brush when
Jumper came hopping along. When
Reddy saw him coming he smiled
and it was wicked, hungry smile.
He had started out to scare Jumper,
if he could. Jumper would make a
SCiy SOON ul1lICA. 1Co, IlIOCCu, IiC
would make a splendid dinner.
Reddy's mouth watered at the
thought.
Now it isn't for nothing that Old
Mother Nature gives things to her
children and so, of course, there
is a reason for the long ears of
Jumper the Hare. 1t is that he may
be able to hear the slightest noise
so that he can run away from
danger, for you know he cannot
fight. So as he came through the
Green Forest he kept stopping every
few jumps to look and listen. He
had almost reached the pile of
brush behind which Reddy was
hiding when his long ears caught
just the teeniest weeniest sound.
Perhaps in his eagerness Reddy
rustled a tiny dead leaf. Anyway,
Jumper stopped short and looked
very hard at the pile of brush.
Reddy held HIS breath and his
yellow eyes looked very fierce and
hungry. Still Jumper sat there
looking and looking and looking. 1t
seemed to Reddy as If he never
would move.
Just as Reddy had about made up
his mind to rush out and try to catch
Jumper where he sat a heavy step
sounded behind him. Reddy turned
his head hastily. There was the
big black stranger who had come
to live in tho Croon Toroct Daddy
didn't need to be told that it was
Buster Bear. He gave one hasty look
at the great claws on Busters feet
and then with a yelp of fright he
tucked his tail between his legs and
started for home as fast as he could
run, the nsost frightened Fox who
ever ran through the Green Forest.

DR.. FULLER TRANSFERRED TO West
COAST. GIVEN WARM WELCOME

DR.. Luther Marion Fuller, 7
years pastor of the Peoples
Baptist Church, Chelsea, Mass.
and now on leave of absence
serving as Chaplain in the y.
S. army was recently trans
ferred from the 372nd Infan-
try stationed in California On
his arrival in Los Angeles, Cal
ifornia, where he joined his
regiment, DR.. Fuller received
the most rousing and enthusi-
astic ovation ever given a
Chaplain by the 1900 officers
and enlisted men. The 10th
Coast Artillery is made up of
enlisted men from the Deep
South. The officer personnel is
composed of all white officers,
mostly from the Deep South,
except two Chaplains, Arthur
Williams and Luther M. Fuller,
the latter two being colored.
This being true, the 1900 Col
ored enlisted men simply idol
ize their two Chaplains ana
are often heard to say: 1--WE
are certainly glad to have two
Colored Officers in our midst"
The transfer Of DR.. Fuller
cameli as a great surprise to
both the Commanding Officer
of the 372nd Infantry and DR..
Fuller himself, and when the
question was put to the former
as to just why the transfer
was made in view of the fact
that the Chaplain was doing
so we'll in New York City, the
answer was: 1--WE of the 372nd
Infantry and the End Corps
Area had absolutely nothing
to do with the transfer. Or

distinguished performance Of
the title role in Shakespeare's
play:
At the final curtain last
night, the students in the audi
fence gave it the highest Har-
ward salute; they pounded
their heels on the floor and
clapped their hands. At Har-
ward there is no higher kind
of acclaim. Even the shouted
"bravoS" at the back of the
playhouse meant less than this.
In 1880 Mr.. Robson did this
part in this play in London.
But all previous plans to pre-
sent him here have come to
naught. 1t was worth waiting
for, this performance.
1t was worth waiting for,
because Mr.. Robson has me
physique and the voice, also
the bearing and the art to
play the part.
A towering giant, with a
voice that is one of the won
ders of the stage, he has meas
ured his man and he bodies
him forth so that you can see
and fully understand him, per-
haps for the first time.
Here is the heroic figure
Shakespeare set down, bit
which haven'to ben able to
reach. Here is an Othello.
bearded and regal, who COM
mands men and women's re-
spect as a great soldier and
who defers to his gentle bride
as a hero defers to a child.
Mr.. Robson heads a mag
nificent cast It follows his
tempo and Interpretation with
perfect sympathy and accord.
Shakespeare is truly immortal
to have written such a drama
that can be presented so eff
fectively now. AS Othello died
